All right. All right. Welcome back to episode 075 of the OK podcast powered by the Strength Co. I'm your host, Grant Brogey. We are recording live inside the Wes via the internet. We're really just on some website that doesn't sponsor us, so I won't name it. In

studio, I have with me Major Jeff Biggie currently in a drilling status, so we've got to make sure that everything is on the edge and on the proper and his teas are crushed and his eyes are dotted. And then also, I mean,

I'm running out of cities that I know in Texas. Also, joining us from where you were born. White said. Rollette, Rob, yeah, White Settlement, Texas, White Settlement, Texas on the outskirts of Fort Worth. Mr. Trey Gottlitch, wants Marine, always Marine father three. A lot of the exciting stuff to talk about today.

The price of Bitcoin is 111,000. I always get, it's so high now. It's like hard to read. Home school education over here. $11,000. It's a lot. It's up a lot. It's a lot.

It's over 111,000. We'll just leave it at that. Today's date is September the 6th in the year of our Lord, 2025. Depends on where you are in the world. Depends where you are in the world. If you're forward deployed, that means you're forward in time. And so it's September 6 for me. Yeah, that's what forward deployed means.

It means the time zone is forward. So we were forward deployed. I wanted to say the year of our Lord because we didn't say it last week. And that's why we played that little banger feels like the first time. A little rusty, got some feedback from the fans, a lot of outlying stations, glad that we're back. We appreciate the support. Got a couple bits of feedback says,

I feel like Trey is not really into the staff meeting anymore. Just want you to know it's still my favorite part. What game that way? Did Trace sent that message? I got to get in character. That's all. That's what's wrong. Part of the reason we train is for the misery.

That's true in combat. That's true in the gym is you do it to be miserable. I may have heard someone ask a gunner recently. When I say recently, I mean like yesterday as to why we do grass week. And the answer was, number one, misery. That's the first reason. That's the first one. Most important.

Because if you're not miserable, you won't. won't do it right. And I was like, wow, I never really thought of it that way. But anyway, yeah, we can circle back to that. Put that in the parking lot, the parking lot. We can just, Trey, if you have anything that comes to mind, but it's not super relevant right now, just put it in the parking lot and we'll come back to it later in the parking lot. But with that, I'll turn it over to the three. Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. We are brought to you by BW Tax, BWTax LLC.com. BW. Tax, he's more than just a tax accountant.

He's probably not going to kill you like Ben Affleck, although he is from Boston, huge Boston sports fan. If you've seen the accountant two or one, I guess you'd get the reference. Yeah, BWTaxLC.com. Most Ben Affleck movies, yeah. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, I guess he's kind of a murderer.

Yeah, the town. How's that with that? All right. Gigi. Yeah. What's that one with him in Jennifer Lopez? is? Selina.

Gigi. Remember it? Not Selena? I think four people. I saw that one. I didn't be honest. Yeah. Are we talking about Gigi or Selena right now?

Not Selena. Yeah. Fever pitch. Fever pitch. Got it. Got some good stuff on the slide deck today. Something I think is going to really get Jeff getting a real, real deep, deep belly laugh.

So I'm looking forward to that. Oh, good. because I belly laughed. I laughed, probably the hardest I've laughed since the last time I recorded the OK podcast, but no, it's a good one. It's a good one. So with that, let's turn it over to the three.

Thank you. All right, gentlemen. Let's kick it off right here. Okay, and we're going to do this in true Marine Corps fashion. When we like to start a school, we like to start with a zero week, because why would we start with one? We can't start with one. We start with zero.

So S-Zero, are you on the line? S-0. Is there an S-0? I feel there should be an S-0, but now there's something I was thinking about the other day. Like, why is that grass week? Why is there a zero week? Why is there a zero week? He's at grass week. Yeah. Zero. Yeah, there's no zero shop. Okay. Well, then I guess we'll have to just start with one. So S-1. Okay. As far as admin stats. Yeah, okay. If you look at the slide, you'll see a bunch of numbers of the people. And so, yeah, that shows you how many people that we have right now with the numbers. Are these numbers updated? Well, no. I mean, yeah. Oh, oh, I just didn't update the date. That's all.

I know it's off by like 27 people, but that's because the system is down. And I got to write my diary in order to get it up. And if I don't write my diary to the unit and the unit diary will never be ran. And so we're still trying to drop Mr. Gottlitch. we know he's been out for eight years, but we think if we can run the diary tomorrow, the numbers will bump. And I'm on a level set with all the first sergeants

after this and make sure that we're all bubbled up, bubbled up, level set. And I'm not just going to have them do a scrub with their admin clerks. And then, yeah, sir, it'll be ready next week. Oh, okay, very well, very well. Side note to that, real life talk. So it's not real life.

We're having a commander's conference. And at one point, they got into discussion of like how Marines get paid out their bonuses for reenlistment. And oh, my lord, it's the most complicated, unbelievable process that just like he just kept saying, and then there's another step. And then there's another step. And then we got to run it in diary. And then we have to get back into this other system that doesn't talk to this system. And then we have to run that in diary. And then we have to update this system.

And I go back into this. I get this signed by the battalion commander, and then I get this, and then I put it back into this, and it just went on forever, and it was unbelievable. And I felt so bad for, oh, my God. It was the worst system ever. Sounds efficient. Grant's buddy's got a sergeant that did the affiliation program directly from active duty for, you know, like a 20K bonus, and then hopped on the deployment. And he's been a part of the unit for 13 months. And he's gotten paid now.

but they were like you need to go to sergeant's course he's like I'm not going to sergeant's course no as soon as I get off this point and I'm leaving because I never got my bonus and then he got his money hey so now's going to sergeant's course efficient yeah moving along yeah gentlemen gentlemen let's keep this brief moving along moving along we got you know it will be time efficient

good stewards of our taxpayers dollars and all that trash S2 Intel Intel Oh, yeah, let's start with the weather. The weather is miserable, which is putting off for a good grass week. Most of my Marines are out at Grass Week, and the weather's miserable. It's 90 degrees, the humidity is at 114%. So if you walk outside, you just immediately feel all your body. Well, I guess what you would say is there's no question as to what's running down your back.

it is juice that's probably true and uh so they're on grass week so uh it's the misery set up i do want to like throw this out there looking at the future weather reports it looks like in camp pendleton it's going to be like 70 and sunny so we should probably cancel grass week because there's not enough misery so we you know the misery is a part of the grass week so uh all camp pendleton units cancel that. But besides that, no, no updates. Still flying drones. And yeah, you know, I got a 3D printer, but my laminator's broken and that's pretty much what I got. Okay. On this 3D printer, can we print maps? Can we just like 3D print a map? Would that work? We can. They just still have to be laminated and the laminators still down. Yeah, it's at regiment. I realize I'm

the regimental too, but I'm still just going to say it's at regiment. Division. does it have a laminar i don't think right right okay because up there's the g2 and the g2 does not rate a laminar once you go from s to g it's a different system totally different pots of money totally different pots of money yep different laminators all together all right very well uh s3 uh we'll we'll get it after we're going to have a huddle we're going to huddle up here uh to sync up we're going to huddle up here uh to sync up we're going to huddle up to sink up after this. We got to talk through some, some stuff. We got to clean up. Hey, Trey, keep the sidebars to a minimum. Keep the sidebars to a minimum. Three is talking.

They are. They are allowed. They're allowed. They're allowed. Yeah. We don't encourage them, but they're not, they're not off limits. Yeah. There's frowned upon. Yeah. But, okay, so as the, so three, we'll just keep it short here. Yeah, we're tracking. We got the LOI for the trash, the dental and trash stand down. We're going to combine them together. It's going to be a synchronized effort, unity of effort. We're going to level set, get the bubble floating in the right spot, and then make everything sure it is all level set.

The loops will all be closed. There will not be one open loop anywhere. If we see any open loops, we're going to close those loops. And we're going to circle back in a hurry with violence of action and speed and violence and surprise. and we're not going to let the enemy dictate our Oudaloupe, okay, okay, tracking. Remember, remember, MOL has a will too. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. Sun Tzu said that.

Sun Tzu said that. Keep up on your P&E, keep up on your P&E, okay. Excellent, okay. Kick it over to you, four, four. Let's talk about us from logistics. Yeah, that's what professional talk about. Yeah, with the four, I'll keep this short. and with the battalion commander's guidance coming down,

just trying to be in line with that. Trash is our priority. We're getting ready to, we place the new dumpsters out to get ready for the phase mode in three years. This comes down the pipe, so you know, just you've got to be ready before. Even though all of us will be gone by this time,

but we just want to be ready by that phase mode. Other thing, Porter Johns are out in the field, ready to go. I don't know exactly where they are, but they are out there. And just the last thing I had for us is we had a vehicle come up. It went back down.

Yeah. Material readiness. Yeah. Yeah. We're waiting on the parts to come in. Yeah. I'm going to need a back, brief sidebar on that. Put that in the parking lot.

Yeah. I'll get with you offline, sir. Put that in the parking lot. Yeah, offline. Excellent brief. Excellent brief. Wow. Yeah, we're looking good.

Thank you. Medical, medical dental. Is the M.O. here, chief, chief, anyone from any of our Navy types in the building? It's just me, the chaplain. I don't know much about the medical slides, but I would say that mental health is tanking right now. So I'm available in my office for counseling. I've been circulating Grass Week. It's really miserable out there, but I have been doing my rounds.

Um, and, um, yeah, there's a, there's a food drive next week. Uh, I don't have any details, but, um, I'll, um, I'll, I'll have, I'll have, I'll get back with you guys, but, uh, oh, that, my, Jay, trash shit, just supposed to say chaps, thanks for what you do, getting out there supporting our devil dogs and our, and our Corman, you know, uh, it's a real important thing for just everybody feels important. And, you know, you being on the green side you just get real unique experience that you wouldn't get on the blue side um you know you just it's really unique and it's experience that you are on the green side and uh we thank for what you do uh trash six out outstanding uh thank you thank you chaps uh real quick uh one one one one save round or i guess

one round of of inspiration i don't know how you want to phrase that um can you pull up the uh battalion uh tracker that just tracks all the things that we're tracking. Oh, the skills slide? Yeah, pull the skills slide. Okay, pull that up. Okay, hey, what I think we need to add here and trash six, sir, if you have any inputs on this, I think it will be best. And we're making sausage here, gentlemen, gentlemen,

we're making sausage right here. I apologize, but we're going to make some sausage right here on the spot. This is now the sausage factory. I think we need a column that depicts the amount of misery that we're tracking at the moment. Okay, you know, maybe green for lots of misery, you know, 100 percent, maybe 90 to 100 percent misery. And then if we bump, you know, maybe an 89 to 70, that'll be our yellow kind of criteria for the misery. And then anything below a 70, so a 69. No, nice.

That will be our red criteria. Anything below that. That'll be our red criteria. Apologies. Apologies. these um hey trash six let's not here what you're trying to do here we're trying to do three uh listen when you're your commander you expect to be brought decision points okay i'm not coming to make the sausage i'm here to eat it and says decision point three you need to get with the five and bring

me a confirmation brief um with a decision um so what a support matrix in front of me as a I received the confirmation brief and we'll make that decision. With that, I'm a little disappointed with with the conduct of this meeting. Running back next week, trash shakes out.

Tension on deck. Oh, that is. Yeah. Tension on decks is my favorite part. And I love it. Big customs and courtesies guy. Like,

but it's just, it's like, I don't know why it had. We must be like, we must do it as fast as we possibly can. Chairs are flying. If there's a water bottle or monster cane on the ground, that thing's getting knocked over. Hopefully the caps on tight. Papers are scattering, dip can spilling.

It's just like, attention on deck. And they're like, before everyone's up all, carry on, carry on, carry on, carry on. Out first. 80% of the room is surprised by it. They're like, oh my gosh, this is never. We still do this. What? Oh, no.

Good stuff. Okay, okay. Good stuff. Let's get into it. Good stuff. Good stuff. What percentage of the people listening to think know what Grassweek is? I don't know.

We'll find out what we hear from. I feel like you just have to explain that. Do you want to you a run down? Let me see real quick what our outlying stations said here. Outlying stations. We got Lance Quartz. corporate formerly. I don't even know what he was formerly known as.

Lance Captain, USMCR. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, so he's still listening. He listened to, he responded last week.

I missed it when it said, tell me more about when the OK podcast is back on. And the response was it's like the final game of Thrones novel, never going to happen. And then it said, Grant will never get it. And he said, I agree with Grant.

So I think that means he's not a Game of Thrones fan. But he said, Lima Charlie already reported to you. to the fat, pregnant admin cheap as friggin dust one dust one D-U-S-T-W-U

in all caps. Is that like some special forces thing? I know Lance Captain's kind of like a special forces guy. We're just artilleryman. Dust one. I don't know. It's like a classification

for like a service member that goes like missing like a theater or something like that. It was like Bobergdoll when he like walked Buffer. Oh, that's one. Yeah.

Duty status whereabouts unknown. Well, listen there, Lance Captain, SMCR. If you free and ain't running people dust one, you must not be doing a proper accountability. So from now on, everyone in the chain of command from corporal to the CEO will stay up till zero one to verify that all hands are back and signed in to the duty logbook.

My hands are here. Trash sticks out. so lance corporate thanks for tuning in and i we got another one got nathan eckbird good to hear back from y'all sort of reminds me of this passage from the colossians for this reason alone since the day we heard it we have not ceased to pray for you and know that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will and all spiritualism and understanding collusion 1-9 n asbb 1995 from big nate ekberg i think it's berg its name says a little dot dot dot behind it i hope as you return you are filled with the knowledge of his will to secure that

trash. Okay. I appreciate Big Nate. Billy Martin says he's still driving. Jeff Ben, still driving. My wife, Kitchen Six, laughed at my battery commander's

starter pack. Yeah. That's where it. It was good. That was good. Outstanding. Outstanding. All right. Where were we? We got through a lot of topics. Do we explain grass week?

Oh, yeah, yeah. Do you want to explain it? Are you going through grass week? Yeah, the guy farthest removed, I'll explain it. Yeah. I mean, I don't know that it's changed. It's a knowledge. It probably hasn't.

So you go to the range, and that's a week-long event, right? When you qualify? Yeah. When you qualify on the range, yeah. The week before you have a week before you have. to practice going to the range that's right and you take your empty rifle and you go out and just sit on the ground and pretend to shoot it stuff in the grass and just hey if I was going to shoot this is what it would look like and then that's you do that you practice all the positions

and I think you're forgetting some important parts of like you go to this ismit and which is like a virtual trainer and there's a briefer there and it's some poor lieutenant or like staff sergeant that no one likes that has been assigned the what does it call like the staff how staff iC of the range staff nonfire staff nonfire and he gives a class on the four weapon safety rules and you know all the stuff very important and then the first day you just go out to like a grassy knoll like probably where Kennedy was shot, and there's barrels just like in the grassy knoll. You remember this on Pendleton, Jeff? Oh, yeah.

Yeah, there's just barrels. And so you just go and lay in the prone, you know, and you just stare at the barrel. And, you know, you got your sling on, your vicar sling and all that stuff. I will say in the defense of the gunners of the Marine Corps, they have improved Grass Week. So what they did was they said, what are all the things at Grass Week or what are all the things that people struggle with on the range? It's like comfortability with, you know, making adjustments to their RCO or, you know, whatever kind of scope they're using. Comfortability, you know, with the positions, doing reloads. It's a much different range now, Trey.

Back when we did the range, it was a whole different thing, much different range now. So now they actually have stations and it is like a core. It's the same thing. It's a dry fire course of fire to get you ready. But you're forgetting the misery, which was what was brief, was that number one is for the misery. And when to finish,

I was like, I think you mean to get people climatized. Like, that's what you mean is like you wanted to get acclimated to this weather so that they're not all like unking and failing because they're heat cases. And so we put them out there the week before to go through the stuff so that they can get acclimatized. So what am I trying to say there?

I think just climatized. I think just climatize. I feel like there should be an acclimated, acclimated. Acclimated. Acclimated. Yeah. So anyway, that's in our words, man.

That's grass week. Yeah. That's good. All right. Man, some men and funny hats, the L at you. That's about it.

Those are called blocks. Is that what they're called? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Don't forget about the tower. Shooters on the rifle range with all your trash and gear. Gay.

face down range and blah blah shooting the firing range with all your trash and gear make your way to the 300 yard line I tell you what I did look pulling pits back in the day what's I love pulling pits back there's nothing like pulling pits there's like two salty sergeants down there with a grill just like getting rich off of cooking hot dogs just Marines down there with headphones in, just throwing perfect score shots on. Marine shoots and then you pull it down and you like, don't see anything. You're like, ah, close enough. Yeah.

Now disking one. Now disking two. Number 35, you are in the berm in the berm. That's the best part. Yeah. You're talking for it. A little fist. Polly pop, baby.

Hey, every Marines are riflemen. And this is proof right here, this conversation. Yeah. All right. Next slide. It's true. All right. All right.

Well, should we get into some college football? Do we want to talk a little recap week one? A recap? This is a college football show. Yeah. It is. College football show. How about we go a little baseball update, though, loosen the, because we'll have more to talk about college football.

So heating up in the AL East, the only thing that matters, uh, Blue J spank the Yankees which is good. So leading the wild card, you got the Red Sox and the Yankees, both have 78 wins, both have 63 losses. Both are 7 and 3 in their last 10. And it's going to be a doozy going into the final.

We got like 15 games left, maybe 16. What teams have? The Red Sox have worked. Red Sox Yankees in Fenway. Yeah. So baseball is exciting. Let's see.

Let's look at the wild card. So you get socks, Yankees, and the Mariners, they're five games out. So, like, it's still possible, but it is unlikely. Nationally, got the Cubbies, Padres, Mets over there right now, division leaders are Blue Jays, Tigers, Astros, Phillies, Brewers, and Dodgers. I'd say Brewers are a, well, they're not really a lock. Man, the Cubs are still hanging in there. So it's going to be a good, going to be a good October, excited for it, ready for it.

Go Red Sox. Inside the Park, Homer last week by Duran. I don't know if you saw it. Inside the Parker. That's not something you see every day. It's not as true. It does true. All right.

College football made some notes last week. But I stopped halfway. All of our teams are one and out, baby. And we all said they'd be one and oh. So we're pretty good at this. I mean, we're undefeated in terms of our teams in the first week. We're three and oh. We're pretty good at this.

We're pretty good at this. Your thoughts and feelings on the Aggie game 60 seconds, Trey. First half, offense looked pretty good. They got some new weapons of wide receiver. They didn't run it, which I thought would be kind of their M.O. this year. But the new receivers look good. Run defense first half looked bad. They kind of tightened

up second half so I think they made some adjustments looked a little bit better. But I don't know. I'm still kind of worried about that run defense, especially I'm going to play Notre Dame or Auburn coming up. We'll see. I didn't learn a lot. I'll put it long story short. And what's

game two? Utah State. Aggie versus Aggies. Aggie versus Aggies. He was Aggies. Aging them, eggs. I think the Aggies are going to win. Yeah, I think you got that one.

I think so. Jeff? Jackson and Arnold can run a lot better than I had realized or expected. So that was a pleasant surprise, but don't foresee that being something that he's going to be able to do every game. So I'm going to need him to throw the ball a little more here against Ball State. But yeah. Pretty happy with it.

Baylor, solid opponent. They went in there, took care of business. Want to know? Here we go. There you go. There you go. Gamecox. I think that kickoff over here was 4 a.m.

So I got up at like 5.30. So I saw the very end of the first half, kind of a boring game to start. I haven't rewatched it. I've intended to. I just haven't been able to, like, get it to work. There's like something called a VPN and it's annoying. Um, in any event, uh, second half, they, I thought the Gamecocks came alive, looked pretty good. And, uh, you know, a lot of Gamecock fans and Gamecock fans, I think what makes this like good fans is, it's just, it's incredible to me.

A lot of people are like, oh, man, I was too close for comfort. And I'm like, you know, I don't want to like give the ACC a bunch of credit here, but like, this is Virginia tech. Like it's not, you know, it's, it's not Utah state, you know, it's not, it's not foster defense. yeah it's not old dominion like you know like it is like a like it's virginia tech they have i would say like i'm up there that their college game walkouts like one of the best ones like it's an environment you have people there to play ball um so i was like pretty happy with that outcome and here we are top 10 crazy to see weird to see every time i see it which has only been like three times we usually get to like number five and then just fall dramatically and that's how it goes but I'm feeling optimistic.

Sellers seems like he's ready to play ball. I was, as far as South Carolina goes, man, so I knew when Norris was going to be good, but it was like everything around him was like the unknown. But like defense looked good. Wide receivers look good. So, yeah, I think you're going to be a good team, man. South Carolina State this week.

So we're going against all three states, Utah State, Aggie State and South Carolina State. ball state that's what it was football state football state let's go over the big game so we had what Notre Dame

and Texas Miami no Miami yep yeah no no no did you see the highlights of that yes I did see that catch I did see that catch that was wow watch that live actually yeah that was crazy

yeah Texas played Ohio State that was the other big game Texas Ohio State yep which was kind of a snooze fest. What was the other big one? I lost you there for a second. LSU.

LSU. LSU's the Tigers. That was a good game. I was going to buy you. Do you see the LSU fans on Clemson Field after the game? I did. Love that. Dancing on the field.

I love that. What was going on? Was there drama? Oh, yeah. Yeah, well, apparently Clemson just lets anybody on the field afterwards. Death Valley. That seems like a bad protocol. Yeah.

Especially with the Tigers. Especially with the gold tigers come on a town. Yeah. Their coaches, I want to talk to Billy B in a second, but their coach was Brian Kelly, right, LSU now? LSU. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

So Dabo, Dabbo, dumb dabbo was like something about, um, um, you know everyone's acting like you know they're like so much better and we got i'm going to get these numbers wrong we's like you know like we we got a 65 on the test and you know they got a 70 and you know we're still a good football team and you know blah blah and brian kelly you got to look it up i'll throw it on the story but he was like yeah no i think that uh dabbo is just a really bad greater or he didn't watch the second half which is probably more likely just like absolutely shredded him. It was pretty good.

I love like when the, when the, I guess I just go to it. Yeah, well, especially like Spurrier was just so good at it that like I think that's one of the things I miss. Like I love Beamer. Like I think he's the right guy for the program. But like I would sometimes get more excited for the Spurrier post game, uh, interviews than I would like the game. Like it would be, like if he was a close loss or if he won and beat someone, he just had so many zingers in there. It was good. It was good.

We won't state. Yeah. You'd always say that after they beat Clemson. Yeah, that's right. We won state. Man, Chapel Hill. First drive looked great. You're like, oh, yeah.

Here we go. Here we go. Playoff. Here we come. Yeah, it didn't go so good. There's a viral video of his girlfriend on the sidelines. In the middle of the game, right? No, it was warm-ups.

I mean, a lot of accounts have framed it as like, you know, middle of the game. I mean, there's so much you can do with that, like meme-wise, but it was, it was warm-ups. Old Rose had some pretty funny things of like, you know, going to drunk college kids before the games and like, what do you think about Bill Belichick and his girlfriend and all the guys like, she's a baddie, like she's a baddie, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. But like, you know, people shouldn't be talking about her, like, you know, whatever. and then the female type she's like,

I just hope like, hey, that and hold, I just hope she doesn't hold him back. You know, we're here to win football games and that's what we want them to do. And they're pretty funny. I've gotten a lot of enjoyment out of that. But yeah, I didn't like to see him lose so bad.

I'm a Bill Belichick loyalist, so hoping he can turn things around. TC is a good team. Yeah, I think that's a lot of people are talking about. Yeah, those Christians from Texas, man. teams yeah they're yeah horn frogs those Texas Christians are good play ball so I call it college football right I think some good games actually no there's not really any good games this weekend we have Michigan Michigan oh you oh yes that'll be good to watch I think Navy

Navy University of Alabama Birmingham that's a big one SMU TCU will be a good one I think or is that this weekend or no it's SMU Baylor oh okay I'm looking to see I think the best game this week oh you Michigan that's the biggest game and the other one worth watching

is Kentucky Old Miss but that's just because I'm an SEC guy I don't know old Stombed Old Miss loves to lose games they're supposed to win Kentucky looked terrible I didn't see it really that bad. Oh, yeah, they were.

It was pretty rough. Zach Calzada is a starting quarterback, the old. Oh, the old A&M quarterback. Your boy. Big Zach. It's okay. I think A&M, A&M has quarterbacks at North Carolina. It's everywhere.

Kentucky, Georgia Tech. Yeah. Houston. Mm. Quarterbacks. Yeah. I mean, it was just giving quarterbacks away. Dealing them out.

Yes, sir. Dealing them out. All right. Next slide. I feel like we should go and do some Home Depot buckets. Okay. Yeah, Home Depot. Okay.

I mean, just quick shout out, the Home Depot, love their products, love their company. Potential sponsor. Yeah. The folks up at corporate there. I just think it's a well-run company, top the bottom. All the way at the top. Quality people. Quality people.

But yeah. Georgia based. You know, I feel like Grant, you're going to speak to the versatility of an orange Home Depot bucket and all like the applications of it. So I wanted to ask, have you ever considered using it as your carry-on item, like your one personal item to bring on an airplane with you?

Has I never seen that move before? I was going to say, I can say a lot about Home Depot bucks. but tell us why they're on the topic. But no, did you, let me guess it. They were flying to DFW. A hundred percent correct. How did I know?

What was in the bucket? I'm not sure he had a lid on it and was trying to, nice, to jam it into the overhead bin and like, you know, sometimes a suitcase that's a little bit over. You can kind of finagulate. You can compress a little bit. But like with this bucket with a lid on it,

wasn't happening, was clearly way too wide to fit in the overhead bin and to like the, you know, the flight attendant walks up and he's like, um, I think you're going to have to check that. And he's just like, no, I can get it. I can get it in there. And just like, it's a circle. So it doesn't matter what angle you approach this thing with. So like it's not, it's not going to fit.

And he just kept going. And then eventually he kind of, it's like trying to put a circle in a square hole. Exactly. Yeah. It's like trying to put a Home Depot bucket in an overhead bin. in on an airplane um you've always didn't work out but it was a move i'd never seen before um so shout out to that guy for just giving it a shot i don't know yeah yeah yeah that's carry on i was looking the other day some youtube stuff we've been ramping up the youtube's not just okay podcast been recording

some strength stuff we know you are strength co fans that were powered by and i don't know you probably just all not lifted a single weight while grant's buddy's been gone because you hadn't been getting pumped some content uh but that's still one of our best ones is how to make a squat stand out of uh home depot buckets with old andy ibo's uh previous guest um just nerding out like a robot in my driveway cutting cutting wood and pouring concrete um so home depot buckets you know it's almost like uh strankas got a built by them hmm old homer buckets they're great very versatile all right Okay, okay.

Very current event. I think it was as of today, gentlemen, just make sure you're tracking. You can update all your stationary, your letterheads. We are now the Department of War, Department of Defense, no longer. We are a Department of War. I am really surprised we're back to that. Yeah. Was there a statement as to why?

Sounds cool. I think just to get back to the, to put in the priority. to our roots keeping the main thing the main thing you know no that's what we've always said yeah per capita we need war so we do we do because lately we've kind of been on the lower end of our threshold for for wars per capita yeah we're a little overdue for war we've been outsourcing it so we have yeah and anything we do we just now put on instagram um so i can't i can't wait for Narcos 3. The Marines against Nicaragua.

It's going to be great. It's going to be phenomenal. It's on Netflix? Yeah, it will be. Yeah, sponsored by the Department of War. Sponsored by the Department of War. Potential sponsor for the OK podcast. Department of War.

DW. Update your letterhead. That's going to cause some heartburns for those 8999s out there. My goodness. Yeah. Oh, let's see what else we got. I'm trying to think of some other, like, quick hitters before we jump in on ship talk. I feel like that's good.

I think a quick hitters, read down there to the bottom above the humidity. Oh, cranium. Is that? Talking about your brain housing group? Does that? Does that ring any bells for you? The word cranium. it's a game i know that okay you're on the right track you're on the right track so oh man jeff

already like it's kind of has a forewarning of this not the cranium part but uh cori muma do you remember cori muma tray uh so cori muma he was in ardy school with me and jeff and he's a major now and he's on grant the deployment with grant's buddy he checked in like during and like was flown like right to another ship you know help your family's getting settled in get on the ship and uh but he was on a different one that i was on so i never saw him so the day i'm like in the gym and it's funny about like people that are consistent like so corey was a you know morning not the if you have to be a morning guy but like we were at fort still was like you know 530 in the morning wake up go to crossfit havoc or scheduled it and permit doing the afternoon work out with big

gym from the gym jim denova previous guests of the okay podcast um and it's just like, you know, 14 years later, like, we're on the same base. How'd you run into them, like in the gym at the same time, like doing the thing? And so I see him, I'm like, oh, man, like, what are you doing here? He's like, I'm on the same deployment here on. I was like, oh, he's like, I mean, I'm stationed out here, but, you know, I'm the fires and effects coordinator. I was like, oh, sweet.

Like, when did you get here? And kind of explained to him. And I'm like, I'll let you work out. Like, come see me. Like, it works in the building next door. So then I didn't see him. I made no effort to go see him either. So then I messaged him and was like, hey, like, come by and have coffee.

And he came by and I was busy or I wasn't in my office. So I'd taken a photo. I'd sent it to Jeff. And Jeff was like, yeah, Corey, good dude. It's a very good dude. So it comes in the office, I have another captain in the office at the time. And I just like immediately go into like potato mode grant, you know, like that sings the potato song. And I'm just like, everything becomes a joke.

And like, we're just a laughing. I'm like, oh, Corey, good to see you. And he's like, okay. I'm like, oh, you listen to the podcast? He's like, oh, I love the podcast. I'm like, oh, nice. And so, like, we're like catching up and then also like explaining to this like captain, how we know each other.

He's like, yeah, we went to Ford Sill together. I was like, we also bought a cow together. And the guy's like, what? And I was like, yeah, we bought a cow. I was like, Corey was, you know, there and had a freezer. He's like, I still have that freezer, mind you. I'm like, I'm sure you do. He's like, we bought a cow.

And he's like, you guys were just like eating a cow. I'm like, yeah, like, I. like I had a freezer, he had a freezer, Jeff had a freezer, and it'd be like, tonight I'm cooking pot roast. And the next night he'd be like, well, tonight I'm cooking pot roast. And, you know, we would just eat beef, just like smash beef. Remp dog would have never made it. He would just fall asleep.

We're just smashing beef nonstop. And he's like, yeah, that was some good times. I was like, yeah, your kid then. He's like, yeah, well, I actually had both of them. And so, you know, how old the kids, this and that? He's a really good time. I was like, yeah, how's your wife? He's like, she's good.

She was excited. She's excited, you know, that you're here. And she remembered you. She said, you know, yeah, Grant, I remember, I remember Grant and Jeff. They were, they were good guys. And I remember they came over. And I was on Grant's team to play cranium. And there was a lot of very basic pop culture references.

And we just got absolutely creamed. she was like he didn't know anything about like anything for pop culture and i just started dying laughing the cat the other captain's like what is they yeah anyway and so cranium pop culture it never gets better for me oh my gosh that's accurate yeah that's accurate that's good that's how it works of cranium good laugh good laugh corey muma good dude listen to the podcast probably potential guest get him on here hell yeah I'm like, I was like,

well, then where'd you go? I went to this duty station. Then when you go, I went to bang your main. I was like, oh, that had to be cool.

No, completely terrible and awful. I hated it. I was like, oh, cool. Because I'm really proud of you and Jeff. He goes,

I'm just like really like, I look up to you guys a lot that you were able to leave this organization. I was like, that's not where I thought that got. We only kind of left it. Yeah, we only kind of left. Yeah.

He's a dead pan humor guy. Dead pan humor guy. Loves what he does. Love what you do. You never work a day in your life. That's what we've said. Per capita. Per capita.

Next slide. I think we got to get this chow talk chicken wings real quick. I love good chow talk. I'm thinking maybe this is a regular occurring thing, chow talk. I'll come up with some sort of food item that we discuss on it. I feel like we're all really well-versed chow connoisseurs. And we love a good chow push. Brought to you by.

Brought to be W by chow. Oh. Yeah. Potential sponsor. Yeah. Yeah. Potential sponsor. Yeah.

Get your take on like chicken wings and general like what's what's a typical like, okay, this is going to be your meal, not just like, oh, I'm going to get a six wing appetizer before my meal kind of thing. But like if you're like, okay, this is going to be my main course, how many, what's your like go to number of wings? that you're going to order. How do you count? Oh, good answer. Good answer. I mean, like you're like, well, I mean,

I can count on average per capita. Per capita. I can count at least 111,000 because that's what Bitcoin's at. So you're not eating 111,000 wings. But if I'm in Big Bear I am. Oh, okay. Okay. Well, first of all, it always bothers me when people say wings and their

talking about boneless wings so we're talking about bone that's not a wing it's i mean i've never met a boneless chicken i've never met a boneless chicken um came first the chicken or its bones i imagine the bones dude that feels like that feels like an easy one yeah yeah so bone bone in how spicy how spicy are they no what's your wink count like i think like i think flavors like part two of this yeah i think jeff's right you got to like what's your wing count yeah see i i disagree if they're super spicy i'm not i'm not having as many well that is a good point if it's like if it's like parmesan garlic yeah but i think there's i think there's a a coa brief where you say in order to get full i need to eat this many wings okay and if i like super spicy then i'm gonna have to

like eat those in an order maybe fill them in with other flavors you know go back in the middle yeah or you you know you alternate you rest between sets if you will um so i it depends see it's a hard question the reason this is not a quick hitter anymore this is a quick hitter for me go see it's not it all depends on hey if i order if i order 12 wings how many different flavors can I get. So I always, I want to have at least three flavors. So that's usually dictates the number of wings I get. We're talking about the capacity of your fuel tank right now. We're not talking about additives for your gasoline. We're talking about capacity for you to be full and walk out. You're making, this is an art. You're turning to a science.

Hey, it's like war. It's both an art and science. I say, I say admit of A dozen. Okay. Okay. You know what I mean? You said you got a number? 24. You're crushing 24 wings every

time. Easy. And I'm going and I'm going all flats. I'm going 24 rings. I'm asking for all flats. I'm paying whatever the extra cost is for all flats. Flat feet. Yeah.

Yeah. And I want one flavor. Yeah. But I can tell you my favorite place here in a minute. But no, regardless of where I go, I'm going, if the hot scales, one to ten, but of course, it's like named ridiculous things. But if it's a one to ten hot thing, I want a nine, I want 24, I want them all flats, and I want to be sweating. I want my scalp to sweat.

I want sweat coming down my forehead. I want to not stop and, like, wipe my hands off. I just want a straight house 24 wings and run the bathroom at 12. Everyone says that to me. Everyone says that to me and like I don't have like I don't have that problem like I'm married a Mexican

okay I got a steel gut yeah I could I'm not eating wings with grain I have to have more than one flavor that's the fun we could eat wings together I would just eat mine and you he orders his own wings and you order your wing

I would be so frustrated with you watching 24 the same wings I couldn't handle it. I'd have said a different table. Look away. Holly makes me sick. Jeff, where are you at?

I'm in that 20 to 24 range. Yeah. Jeez. Yeah, I got to be up there. And that's why I'm always like, you know, you go to Buffalo Wild Wings or whatever. Beat-ups. The quantities are like, do you want six wings?

Do you want 12 wings or do you want 50 wings? 30. Like, now I have to order. And they know what they're doing. There's like there, there's probably some. Oh, they,

they put some dog into that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm probably, I'm probably 12 to 16. That's where I'm at. Yeah.

12 to 16. And I like drums and flats. Oh, there's nothing worse. There's nothing worse than when you're at like a pub or a chow hall or like somewhere and you're like you're there. Maybe you're trying to eat healthy. I'm not here telling you wings are healthy,

but you're like, do I want to bird? with all that bread and like cheese and do I want to eat a bunch of mashed potatoes or do I just want to crush like three or four of the like six wing appetizer platters? And like I've done that many times in my life. And when they come out and they're all drumsticks, it is just like the worst feeling. That's why Silky Sullivan's went out of business. Shout out Fountain Valley.

You know, you start serving up all drumsticks. And customers are going to leave. Are you dry rope kind of guy? Not a big dry rub guy. I'm not either. Yeah. Sometimes. I like,

yeah, I like a saucy wing, you know, unlike granted. Like, I want my hands to be messy. Yeah. Let me run through like 20 wet wipes afterwards.

Yes. I want to be like wiping my face with my fingers and people be like, you have wing sauce. And you're like, I know. I'm in the middle of a 24 wing takedown right now. Like, stop talking to me.

I'm here to win. Yeah. There is some rancher blue cheese. Neither. That's my last. No, you just go. That's one of my lines. When people, they go rancher blue cheese, I look at the person I'm with.

I'm like, what do you want? I don't touch it. And the wing person's always like, what? I'm like, I don't need it. I'm not eating salad. I'm eating chicken. It's 24 same flavor of wings. No rancher blue cheese.

Take them down. All drums. All flats. excuse me all flats it's the perfect flats are definitely a superior wing but i i don't mind a mix like you can have a really like fatty grisly like not that much meat drumstick and that that is like uh

if i'm an amateur i feel like the drums are the way to go i'm with you tray if if you like both i have no problem with that if you don't like flats you don't know how to eat wings because it is easier to get every bit of that bird it off of that bone on a flat and it is a drumstick um oh man this quick hitter turning to a long one this is not we're not even close to being done eating a flat and not pulling the bones apart like just like eating eating it like a cornicob and there's just all this meat left and you're just I'm a vertical insertion man you just strip it you grab it at the lower bit so it's it's

upright it's standing up like like it's like it's like if the chicken with standing up you put that thing all the way back you bite down on the front and you use your teeth like a cheese grater and you just pull all that meat and bone back to you and that that thing should come out looking like a wishbone for Thanksgiving just like not a thing on it but I do know that split in half but the the horizontal insertions on a flat oh is that should be a sin yeah what are you doing it's not a corn on the cob it's chicken You need a T-shirt, vertical insertion, man. It's the only way to eat a wing.

Well, quick, quick, maybe there's no, nothing said here, but favorite wings. You're going, you're going to eat for chicken wings are the meal. We got the number. We got the type. If you could go anywhere that you've been, where would you want to go? Two places come to mind. for me uh ones in in mothers a multiple i think there's a couple locations in the like atlanta metro area but it's called just wild wings it's not buffalo wild wings you just

all my yeah the southeast wing right there red hot and blue red hot and blue is delicious um where there's a san diego spot dirty birds uh oh never been there i don't remember i think it's i don't remember like what's part of san diego specific but it's like down in the city i don't I don't think it's like near, even more northern side. Only went there once, but the wings were phenomenal. Phenomenal. Okay. Probably the best I've ever had, dirty birds.

Oh, best, best wings on island, as we say over here inside the west. Trey, you got any spots or just whatever? Not like any local spots, man. As far as chains go, I'm more of a, you beat us guy. No, I'm more of a, what's the other one? Wing stop. wing stop okay I like wing stop

okay top three in this order Orange County chain called fire wings multiple locations fountain valley Bray I think there's probably like five phenomenal

all flats menu right there the numbering system for ordering makes sense their hottest one is called wild I actually go with their hottest one there fire wings number one favorite spot second is Bdubs the problem with Bdubs

Bdubs you can have a bad experience it's the nature of a big company big corporation but the B-dubs in South Dakota in Aberdeen. If you're out there for the Lift Hard Live Easy Classic, it was like number five B-dubs in the country or world, I don't know if they're international.

Good wings. I mean, you know, everyone wants to talk about Menards and rocks and all this other stuff. Like, you have one of the best B-dubs right in your hometown. Like, yeah, good wings. And third is home team barbecue. Charleston and Greenville

locations, I think multiple in Charleston. It might be a Columbia one, too. um it's actually a smoked wing which i generally want the the wet and greasy um but like really really really good really good wings um that's my top three those are my wings and uh that's all i have to say about that all right bdubs if you're carnivore Bdubs is uh is actually carnivore because i think they fry it in uh beef tallow yeah beef tallow so if you just get the plain if you get plain no no sauce on it's it's carnivore yeah i mean there you go sauce all right sauce is carnivore just chicken yeah yeah just just just i'm a vertical man i'm a vertical kind of guy

vertical insertion vertical insertion man it's the only way it is okay all right I don't know if this one relates to ship talk, but, Grant, you put in there in quotations, there's a guy. Yeah, you know, I saw that and I don't remember why I put that. Oh, there is a guy. There's a guy for everything. Yeah. No, right. Next topic.

Let's talk. I look at out. I was like, why did I put that in all? Yep. All right. All right. Well, oh, we got one more. We got a couple, we got a, we had a late edition from trade about dove hunting.

And that's, you think, oh, yeah, man. You think, you think that's the superior form of hunting over all others? Oh, 100% versus, versus like hunting a deer. Yeah. You just go out there, you hang out, sit on your, bring a bucket out there, send on the edge of field. Home Depot bucket. On Depot, but shut out. You can use that.

Smoking and joking, talking as loud as you want, shooting birds as they come in, versus deer hunting. You've got to be quiet. It's cold. Can't say anything. Absolutely miserable, man. Yeah. I'm a big fan of dove hunting. A lot of fun.

We went out this opening day. Everyone pretty much hit their limit. Had a really good time. So now I just got to figure out to cook the dove in a good way because there's poppers is like the only way I have ever had him before so I don't know have you all had dove before dove poppers like jalapeno poppers I'm sure yeah you put in yeah you put in a jalapeno

wrap in bacon oh sounds like a jalapeno popper with dove meat that's all yeah oh okay got that's what you say yeah in Texas we just call them poppers yeah yeah yeah my thoughts on hunting I've only dove hunting if you

times i did enjoy it i think i'm with you and part of it's the stage of my life i think i'm with you in that if i'm going to go hunting like i want to be able to talk like i want to be able to socialize whatever i think coon hunting is very underrated because it's like late at night you go out you got dogs i think hunting with dogs is like a huge like that's a win right hunting with dogs so there you got like got these hound dogs train to get coons you you pop the tailgate on the truck, grab you a crispy boy, you let the hounds go. And it's not this like GPS, all that crap. I mean, I know people use that now, but it's just like literally waiting to hear that

hound dog just like start howling. And then you go up there and there's this scared little raccoon like up in the tree and you just have like a little 22 rifle and you shoot it and down he comes. And then you make coon stew and it's good. Yeah. But I'm not like, I'm not like tied to that. That's fun. I think duck hunting is a lot of fun. The thing I like about duck hunting is duck hunting is on a timeline. There's like the marine bird hunt. It's like, what time sunrise? 608. Okay, Mallards are going to fly at seven, but wood ducks are going to fly at 609. It looks like you're out there. You get there, 550. You're like drinking from a thermos. It's cold. You know, whatever. Like look at your watch. You're like, okay, they're going to fly in the next three minutes. Like lift up your shotgun. And it's like, sure enough, right on schedule, here come the Woody's. If you're in a good spot. obviously but you know they they they're creatures a habit

yeah all right i've never sweet mean i've never done i've never done uh like um what do you call it where you're like binoes and you're stalking like sheep or pig i mean you could do it like a spot um yeah spot and stock yeah i feel like i think i could really get into that but yeah i'm more I'm more of a conservationist, so I focus on the rivers, but that is true. And stock sounds on, yeah. All right.

Well, I think that it's time. It's time to dig into what Grant's buddy's been up to in this now weekly installment where we get a little taste of what it's like in the shoes of Grant's buddy and what he's been up to and all the fun he's been having. Where do we leave off last week? I had boarded the ship. But one save round, and one pop culture reference, Jaws. I watched Jaws this week, never seen Jaws. I know, I know, but I've never seen Jaws.

And you know, like when you're like scrolling Netflix and there's like a new movie and you're like, you click it and then all of a sudden you're 16 minutes into it and you're like, you're looking at Instagram and you have no idea who the characters are. You're like, I screw it. I'll just go to bed. So Jawsman like jumping out to me maybe because my buddy's such a seaman. but I'm like maybe I should watch Jaws and then I clicked it and I was like hooked like I was in and phenomenal movie like love it if you haven't seen it I highly recommend you you go watch Jaws

they got this great like they got this like great soundtrack when the sharks going through the water do no no no no no it's like the mayors wants everyone to get killed a boy dies and all they do is like tack a piece of paper up or like, oh, we'll give you 300 bucks if you get the shark. Yeah, great. Those barrels at the end, that looks like real hunting right there. Big, big, Jaws guy, Boston accents, making fun of the New Yorker. Yeah, phenomenal movie. It's a little bit underground, I know, and it's older.

So many people don't like old movies, but you've got to go find this underground movie, Jaws and watch it. Life changing for me. Life changing. You're here. Trey, have you seen, Joss? It's going to come out next week. He's like, all right, guys, you all right, guys, you all have to see Shawshank Redemption.

Great movie. Never seen it. Yeah, I figured. What? Critically, you've seen it. Best movie. Never seen it. Is that the Green Mile or is that different?

It's a prequel. Okay, I have seen the Green Mile. Both Stephen King, I think. Yeah. All right. Ship Talk. Ship talk, you know, it's hard. It's hard. You live ship talk. You're excited to get back on land and then you just forget about living over there. But I do think it is a unique experience. A lot of people have done. Jeff's done it. But, you know, life on ship, it's just, it is just very interesting. Like being on the ship, it's very easy to never go outside. And it's like all these little hallways and doors that open up. And there's so many levels. It's like you're in like an eight story house or something. something. And there's like all these stairs and you always get to hold on to stuff. And it's

just like you get there and it's all new and it's like super exciting. And then like three hours later, you're like, so now what? And so there's like a ward room where officers eat. I feel like, Jeff, you should talk about the ward room. That's like an interesting place. There's a ship store, which like we talked about. There's the barbershop. There's like four hour lines for chat. I don't know. I just want to talk a little bit about life on the ship. Next week I want to talk about Australia. That's like a whole thing.

Spent a lot of time in Australia. Man, I want to go to war with those people now that we're the Department of War. But, yeah. Chip talk. Wardroom. Yeah. Chip talk. Wardroom.

Wardroom. You know, this is kind of a, most of the time, it's your meal spot, right? You got morning chow, afternoon chow, evening chow. evening chow and then midrats you also got midrats so there's like fourth meal taco bell shout out fourth meal um and honestly like your your whole life revolves around chow times so it's like a place you you look forward to going to um in the evenings it kind of turns into a spot where you can go I don't know I feel like I played a lot of cards in the wardroom um they're doing some sort of like karaoke night for the officers don't think they have in the wardroom

So it kind of becomes this like multi-purpose wreck space in a way, always got coffee brewing, always got some coffee going. If it doesn't have coffee going, they're not worth the damn. You walk in and you got to paint the scene a little bit. So you walk in, it's like a low ceiling, like everything on ship. And it's probably just fold out tables. But the Navy has these like leather, blue aprons on the tables. and so it feels really nice and then there's like you know the drink section where there's the coffee machine and the sodas and stuff and the tables all have like leather coverings on

them and everyone has their coffee mug on the wall and you first walk in you're like wow this is incredible like I can't believe we have to go in here and then like you know after like two months you look around you're like I'm like just in like a VFW rec room right now I'm excited And there's like Yatsi and dominoes over there. And, yeah, it's good. There's chow, you know, you get served chow. The rules, the same rules still apply, you know, one, one meat, one starch kind of deal. Yeah, I don't know.

It's just, and then there's like strategy to chow. So there's an hour and a half chow window, but you're not allowed to get seconds until 15 minutes prior to the closing of chow. So some people are a two chow like eaters. So like they open at 1630. they eat chow they go to the gym and they come back like 15 minutes before close and eat second chow a lot of the lieutenants that were trying to put on mass were doing that i was like wait all the way till the end of chow but then the further away you get from port like the more scary it gets that like there won't be seconds there might not be first like of some items um milk like milk like you

know i get joked about for milk allow even though it's mark ripato is the real milk land um but you can just live off of milk. And I did for a long time. I mean, it's just, there's that big milk dispenser. And it was just how much milk can I take down to get calories? Yeah, the milk's a big part of life until you run out of fresh milk. And so I'm there, like, selling the milk to all the Marine lieutenants like, you're too small. You got to drink milk. And they're like buying it and just lapping up the milk. And then I'm like, in the brief. And I'm like, oh, I've made a grave mistake. Like, we are almost out of milk. And then you go to that box milk, that ultra high temp milk it's just like i don't even know what that is is a big difference yeah now that that

will send you to the porcel and pot right there that will get the bowing going that'll get it going yeah big milk guy huge milk man did you ever did you ever get hit with the like okay so that you know ours had like a salad bar um yep do you ever get hit with oh yep all out of fresh lettuce that's gone here we just put pasta in there instead of lettuce that's the same oh yeah or no mostly what we had was just there's just bags of lettuce like but it's like put in a container i do like appreciate that the navy tries like present you everything like kind of nice so it's like all this lettuce just like laid out but then there's like no sides like there's like lettuce and like one ranching like thousand island you're like oh okay um yeah towards the end it got a little sparse over there

i mean don't get me wrong like there's mre's like you know it's not like people were dying but in terms of like hot, cooked up chow. So then I became a soup guy in the second half because no one really ate the soup. And then I'm just stupid and like tell people like, the soup is great. We've been missing out on the soup. And then all of a sudden, everyone's eating the soup. And there's no soup left. I'm like, I got to keep my mouth shut.

Then I found the cereal drawer. I hadn't eaten cereal in like a long time. There's like extra cereal that's hidden. So I started smashing cereal. Yeah. Chow on ship. Pop darts. Were there a lot of pop darts available?

we didn't have a lot of pop tarts i didn't start eating like a four-year-old though till like the end of the float and like everything was out some people ate like a four-year-old the whole time it's like they're down there like eating cinnamon toast crunch at 2200 like i was big i'm like eat the meals drink the milk which i guess you say milk's like eating like a baby but then some people were just like you did the kid food but towards the end i was i was on the kid food and you can't skip chow i mean you can but it's like chow is such a significant part of eating up not food but eating up time that like you got to go to chow because that's like three touch points that like make half the day go away um yeah ship like and the days seem shorter somehow

you would think they seem longer but you're so regimented it's like i wake up at this time go down to chow come back to my room i read my bible i open my email i check my email i go to three meetings in a row oh it's time for noon chow eat noon chow gun at pt in 60 minutes that means i can get out like camys and get on green and green and like wait in my room and just sit i'll read a book or whatever time to go to the gym go to the gym it's so hot i've never sweat so much in my life i have to sit here for 45 minutes before i take a shower just so that i can go to this meeting at 1600 and not be sweating went to the 1600 meeting almost time for chow should we have chow now nope should look outside walk up to the top deck look at nature that was cool come back down time for chow oh
