all right and welcome back to episode 077 of the okay podcast powered by the strength co i'm your host grant brogie zero seven seven and 700 more episodes we will be at episode triple seven god's gun king of battle m triple seven alpha two for you 0811's out there anyway price of bitcoin is $116,98.78.70. So it's doing all right. It's doing all right. It's almost tripled what it was we started. Yeah, it's doing okay. It's almost tripled what it was when we started. Today's date is September the 19th, depending on where you are. And the year of our Lord, 2025. Lots to talk about today. And we got a lot of people forward deployed. So we're actually going to cancel the staff brief this week. Staff brief's canceled.

We're going to cancel the staff brief and get right into the meat and meat and potatoes of this meeting. Sorry. Don't worry. We do have a recording to play from Trash 6. So attention on deck. Hey, team, Trash 6 here. I know you don't get to get around the table today with one.

another and look each other eyeball to eyeball and hold each other accountable to honor courage and commitment and kill I know I mean you're supposed to say kill but you're not here to honor courage and commitment and but I appreciate what you do we got dumpsters coming next week for the barracks and we are going to do a major overhaul tired of seeing all this trash in the common spaces I'm not saying we're slipping on trash but it's not where you used to be to put the trash in the dumpsters and do not light it on fire. And appreciate your service. We support the troops.

Trash sticks out. All right. Wow. I'm thoroughly motivated. I am motivated. Let's find another way to waste 15 minutes at the start of the show. Is there another way? Yeah, I could just like read a news article just like verbatim out loud.

Just read the slide verbatim. them. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. This is a classic briefing technique. Yeah, classic briefing technique. Read the slide. Issues, concerns. There are none. Yeah. This podcast is brought to you by BW Tax, BWTax LLC.com. BW, a great guy, better taxes. It is September, which means it's almost the end of the physical year as we like to call it and then we teach people later that they're supposed to be saying fiscal um so it's almost into the fiscal year that is and if you don't know that that's when you're supposed to start looking at taxes and thinking about tax then you don't listen to this podcast because you should think about tax every day just like you think about trash but especially at the start

of the fiscal year uh so give it bw call b2x llc.com physical year it's when they audit your That's right. Yeah. Physically. Bev-B-W come now out of your squat. That's right. All right, Jeff. Take it away.

Well, one quick, one quick thing to dovetail. I got it. But just back to quick, great, great briefing technique of reading the slide directly. Even better briefing technique is reading the slide directly. And then that's the first time you've ever seen the slide. That always goes to it well. Yeah. Yeah.

That I've seen work flawlessly. Just to piggyback off of the dovetail, one of the great things about being a Marine, it's like, we'll cancel an event, and then we'll just do the event anyway, because we don't know how to do anything except the event. So here we are at the event, the staff meeting. Just to put a bow on that piggyback that's on that dovetail, I've been that guy who hasn't seen a slide before and just read it cold. That's it. That's all that's all I got. Oh, this slide. This slide is my favorite slide, gentlemen. This is a great slide. So I'm just going to read it word for word

real quick. Saved round for the dovetail that had a piggyback for the bow that's on the piggyback that's on the dovetail. There we go ahead. Saved round for that. For those that are in a brief right now and they're opening a slide and they've never

seen it before and they need to brief it. Here's something, real useful piece of information. What's on the slide doesn't matter. Your confidence when you talk about it is great and you can brief your way through that. And if you get asked any specific

questions, honesty is always the best policy and just hit the boss with, sir, I don't have that answer in front of me, but I'll circle back with you and talk to you offline. And it works every time. Works every time. I say just a To put this to bed, that saved round, that's on that bow, that's on that piggyback, that's on that dovetail.

That's a great point. That's a great point. Thanks for what you did. Oh, my good. Yeah. Hey, Jeff. All right. All right.

Well, for all those long-time listeners. All those long-time listeners out there, you know, they grew up customs to a certain format there where we'd kind of do a little intro. So staff pretty relatively new, but the long time listeners, they're now used to either a tray lifting update or a tray lifting question. So I said we dive in on that. I don't know if you've got any updates on your training. Yeah. Or if you want to just jump into a question you got. There's training continue?

Yeah, training continues. Today, I basically went out. I'm like, hey, I'm going to run a mile and see if I can still run a mile. So that's what I did today. But, you know, it's good. going, I did, yeah. Probably like 20 minutes. I did not bring a watch in the,

smart, not going to bring watch. I don't want to be depressed after I was not. Things you don't want to bring when you're running a mile for the first time in a long time, a watch. Things you don't want to forget when you're in a staff meeting. A watch. Yeah, just to know how long it's been going. My goal was like, hey, just run until just do it.

It went pretty well. Oh, slow, baby. just like a brisket. I felt good. I felt good. Yeah. That's what I probably looked like. Like it should. Like a brisket.

Did you pump it up at all? Did you pump it up at all? Did you pump it up at all? Like while you were running? Oh, in the back? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Did you do late cadence? Yeah. Yeah. We're under a new one that's been cracking us up. Really delayed. Are you tracking the, are you tracking the, are you tracking the, Are you tracking, just so you're tracking, are you tracking the, you left, Cadence? I've not heard that one.

It's like, your dad was home when you left. Your mom was home when you left. Your brother was home when you left. And it's like names a bunch of stuff. And it's like, your wife and baby were home when you left. Your dog was home when you left. And it's like your cat was home when you left. And then out of nowhere, he's like, your fish was home when you left.

And then he's like, your mama was home. Your daddy was home. Your kid was home. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And the fish and you left. And I just think it's really funny. Goldfish, he's worried about that. And he left.

And then he goes into like, I left my home, you know, to join the Marines, whatever. Anyway, I digress. You did not sing that while you ran a mile. Okay, so you ran a mile. Do you lift this week? I did a little bit of lifting. Yeah, I got some squats in, got some overhead press in. So okay, some OHPs.

Some OHPs. So, you know, just like I said, nothing heavy. Just something, better, something's better than nothing. You know what I mean? That's what I've always said. Like a brisket. At some point in time, and this, I guess, will bring me to my question that I have. At some point in time, I'm going to start writing these numbers down and doing a little progressive overload as a week to week, you know what I mean?

And I guess I, yeah, so here's my question. Whenever you're coming back off, it's a little bit easier for me just because I know what I've done in the past. but how are you finding that initial way? Let's say somebody's brand new off the street. How are you finding that initial way for them to start off with? Aston answered, read Maury Admin 6969-420. No, I'll give you a quick answer on that and we'll get into another one. I do have like probably five or six videos on this, one being like what to do after vacation,

one what to do after a layoff, what to do for start starting strength. real answer is if you got the technique down moderately well start with sets of five day one on the squat do the bar two sets five make moderate jumps it kind of depends on your strength level so if you you know if you were squatting 315 before your layoff like it's not like your strength went back down to zero right you're probably going to be somewhere the low twos depending or upper twos depending how long you took off I generally tell people so two sets with empty bar and then make moderate increases you know as you're going to going up and you should never be worried about failing.

So you should never think like, you know, because when you're in the linear progression, you'll go to squad a set of five and you'll do rep one and you'll wonder, like, is it there? Like, am I going to be able to do five reps? So you don't want to have that much fear or that much doubt. You want to know that you can do it, but it does need to be like somewhat challenging. You know, your heart rate needs to spike and get a little sweaty. generally what I tell people do is do a ascending sets of five get to that weight where bar speed slows down a little bit and if you undercut it a little bit that's fine stop after one set otherwise you'll get really sore if you've had a long layoff and then on the next session do that weight that you ended up at for three sets of five and then begin your progression the following session so you know you work up to 25 for a set of five day one day two you do 225 for three sets of five doing like a warm up protocol to it and then you work up to you And day three, when you're in there, you do, you go to 230.

Now, if you did sell yourself short and you go to do 230, you know, two days later and you're like, this is really easy, that's fine. Just make a 10-pound jump and, you know, do 235. You can't really mess it up. But it should take you like five, four to five workouts to like, okay, I'm back in where it's hard and I got to rest three to four minutes, you know. I shouldn't get you longer than that. But, and if you're brand new, if you're brand new, post a link below, Jordy,

go across. Yeah, if you're brand new, Jordy, tell them to sign up for coaching. Yeah, you do want to, you do, if you are brand new

and you're trying to squat, you do want to make sure that you're squatting to depth. So I advocate for the low bar squat position, more muscle mass, greatest range of motion, or greatest effective range of motion, allows you to use the most,

weight, but even if you're high bar squatting or your front squatting because you have some, you know, excuses to why you do that, or your safety squat, whatever you're doing, ensure that when you start this, that you're squatting to depth. And anyone can film themselves and look and see if the hip crease, where the top of the femurs, like top of your thigh, reaches into your pelvis, like that little socket right there needs to go below your kneecap. And I'd argue it doesn't need to go way below your kneecap, but it does need to, you know, you need to break parallel and if you're not doing that and then you aggressively run a program like starting strength you're going to take your squat from whatever 140 to 2 30 and then you're going to be like

i wonder if i'm doing this right i'm freaking out or my elbow hurts or there's some kind of issue and you're going to say i need a coach and then you're going to walk into the gym or come into a zoom meeting or whatever post your stuff on slack and everyone's to be like dude you're eight inches above parallel and then you're going to find out you have to take a whole bunch of weight off the bar because you haven't been going deep enough so do make sure you're going to depth before you start progressing in weight even if you're doing other stuff wrong make sure you're squatting the depth I do remember when I first started like I was squatting I'm like this feels so weird going this slow like just because you know just like high school weight lift like you just like

hey don't don't go below 90 degrees which I don't know Like, that's what the high school coach said. I want to just like it was like fixing your brain like, oh, I don't need to go that deep. Well, you don't really need to go deeper than, like, you need to get to parallel. And like the reason we say parallel is good enough is because when you hit parallel, you've incorporated as much muscle mass as you can. And so when you go now beneath parallel, you know, ass to grass as people like to say or whatever, if you go way down, you don't.

get any more muscle mass recruitment and you get into a position where things can slack or loosen. So the low back, depending on people's flexibility may have issues as they get really deep and they may relax or the hamstrings will relax and that's where like tweaks and stuff like that happens. That makes sense. Good info. I think I had some other ones in there. Some tech difficulties. Oh, that boingo. Bingo boingo. Is Grant frozen for you, Trey?

Yeah. He's gone. Grant's gone. He's been taken. All right. Listeners, what you've all been waiting for. Now we can really do it, Jeff. Yeah.

Oh, man. What's the, I think I had two other questions on there. Do you see the last one I posted? Yeah, you got the other one that was left over from last week was the one about the rower or salt bike. And then, yeah, you had the AI one, which I think is good. You've done both these, especially with doing, like, a lot of CrossFit stuff. Are we still going?

I think so. I mean, it says recording, but I don't know. It says record. I say, let's push. Let's push, you know, commanders got it. You know, they say, yeah, you can't give in, you know, a bog of war. We're pushing through. Are you, uh,

Are you a row machine guy? Are you a sole bike guy? I think if you're looking just like, hey, I want something to just get pure cardio, do some intervals, do some longer stuff. I think the bike is a great move just because there's no, there's no technique to it. You can't, you can't do it wrong. You just move your arms. You can go as hard as you want on that thing and like it, you can get it smoked by it. The rower is great because it's still like, you know, it's not just like a spin bike.

So you're incorporating a little bit of upper body, a little bit of lower body. There's more technique to it. But there's definitely a little bit of technique. Like you can be doing it very, very wrong. And like, yeah, you'll still get tired and sweaty on it. But like, you'll just be really inefficient about it. And again, like, does it really matter if your goal is just to get like 20 minutes of the heart rate up and get sweaty? feel good about yourself and like technique really doesn't matter but if you're like

I've never done that is a bike before and like the the road technique like to get it kind of just basically dial isn't all that tough it's just like kind of like a deadlift drive with the legs and as like the handle kind of gets past the knees that's when like fully extended you start leaning back yeah and then finish with the arms but yeah it's kind of like how like a of assault bike and sled to me are like similar in that it's like a very cave man just go just go all out like and the limiting factor will be like the lactic acid build up in your in your quads and like so like what's a if you're doing an assault bike like are you doing five sets of 30 seconds like 30 seconds on 30 seconds off or like how does

yeah i mean i guess again that just like goes back to if yeah you're trying to get once you can do a shorter kind of like interval like high intensity then that's a great way to do it a lot of them have the pre-programmed um what they call tabata so like 20 seconds of work 10 seconds of rest eight rounds of that oh jeez that'll that'll light you up that sounds brutal and if you like if you like go hard on that 20 seconds like it sucks um what i like yeah well they still said record on there so we just

pushed with commanders intent yeah we had commanders and 10 keep going keep going keep going perfect and so another great like what i like doing or what i was doing for a little bit like especially like prepping for the cft is i would do the the the tubata so yeah 20 seconds of work 10 seconds rest eight rounds on the air bike and then trying to just like easy recovery for five minutes and then did like the inverse where it's 10 seconds to work 20 seconds to rest so again just like spike in the heart rate getting a little bit of rest and kind of like you know just trying to try to get that high output like short duration kind of stuff they're like the CFT kind of kind And I think that's probably more of the type of, I think, cardio that I would be looking for.

So that's why I'm leaning more towards. And, dude, that row machine just, that's a big footprint in that garage, man. It is, it is. That one that I have. I mean, like the rogue echo bike, or sorry, the bike made by a company that shall not be named. There you go. It's a decent size footprint. Maybe not as big as a rower when it's laid down, but you can flip the rower up.

so when you're not using it does kind of get out of the way but i mean i like we talking rowers versus salt bikes yeah yeah and you can do longer duration stuff on a bike on the assault bike some people are like oh it's not meant for that or whatever but like you can you can you can go i've done an hour long kind of like zone two stuff on it before i like the bike i like the bike and i do like the rower same but i like the bike i mean i think i mean the rower's brutal too you can because there's so much like blood oxygen that gets pulled out immediately because there's so much muscle mass involved. But there's also, you know, there's an ability of you have to know how to row, you know.

And it's not hard, but you do need to, it's kind of squats. Got to know how to squat a little bit before you can squat. And the bikes, the bike's brainless and can be really hard. Good interval training. brainless brainless bikes brainless bike's our next product brainless bikes sold by the Stranko powered by BW tax

made out of cast iron so if you're building if you're building a home gym you would lean bike over rower I would Jeff does make a good point about leaning the rower up and flipping it up vertical

then it's a pretty small footprint but then you got to flip it down like we dealt with that on ship you know you'd like flip the rower down and then there's like a hose behind you and you're worried about like extending all the way because you hit your head on something and people's garages often are like ships.

You know, there's not a lot of extra room in there. There's a lot of stuff going on. The bike's pretty stationary. It's literally a stationary bike. You can't hang stuff on it. It doesn't turn into a drink machine. I prefer the bike. I also am doing strength and conditioning

and zero endurance. and stuff. So I mean, there's value in people that want to row 5,000 meters. Jeff's correct. You can ride a bike for a long time. I don't do that. I want a bunch of bang for my buck. Hey, let me just fry myself in a short amount of time and a small baseline of conditioning on top of what I get for my strength training is enough for me. So, you know, that's, yeah, I prefer the bike. But I could see an argument for rower, you know, if you are an endurance person, it gets really cold where you live and you want a way to do something. But no, I think that's, uh, and I will say, Rogue Jones make a dang good fan bike. Well, I guess I'd say the belt driven bike. Other brands do now do

like a belt driven bike. And I think that's the superior. There's less like slack in the system. and then also I've again like the the chain bikes like the like assault fitness makes those ones I've only really seen like commercial gyms or cross-fit gyms where they have a high volume of usage but those things are broken all the time the chain's just like there's too much slack in the system and then the chain usually gets to break so you get whatever brand you get I think go with like a belt a belt driven one belger one okay yeah belt fed marine wants a belt driven bike that makes sense That tracks.

As a machine gunner, I like the links in my chain. I prefer the chain, gang. Trade, do you want to ask your AI question? A little technical difficulty, and I left. You were reporting the podcast and you left. Oh, that was you foreshadowing when you gave. Okay. Oh, okay.

Okay. What's your AI question? May I posted that at the 11th hour. and so it should be fresh. It should be fresh by mind. Jeff, can you read it for me? Yeah, yeah. Let me pull the slide deck real quick.

Sorry, dude. Yeah. I like this lifting question, colon. How do you think AI plays into the future of fitness? Next slide. Oh, sorry. Very broad, very broad topic. So I guess I was saying, like I've used shout out Slack channel if you're not a member.

click the link below there's a little AI tool in there called GrantBot that I've used multiple times. That I feel like is very helpful. I don't know. Like where do you see AI going?

In terms of coaching or in terms of equipment? Hmm. I guess either, ma'am. Well, I guess they don't see a lot of AI and equipment. Although there is a bunch of programming in terms of like tech work. workouts. I have not read the numbers or listened to the podcast or don't know that they exist. But I have to think that coaches, and I use that term like kind of lightly because

I believe coaches change human movement patterns. That's the main job of it, not necessarily the programming. I do think programming is a big part of it and just the whole human relationship to keep the person lifting. But it must have taken a huge hit of people that, hey, I'm going to write you this program and customized template. And now, yeah, you can ask grandpa. We write code into GrantBot. So he says a lot of stuff. You could ask, grandpa, I haven't lifted in three months.

How should I find my starting weight? And what I just regurgitated to you for five minutes, he's going to give you in a succinct form with like stuff that I think on top of just what AI says. But that has to have just totally rock the market or in terms of that small. like, hey, maybe I work in a gym and on the side, you know, I post pictures of me on Instagram and then ask for people to buy my program

and that had to like be a beating on that because I don't, if you exist right now and don't have some type of chat, GBT service that you're using, like, I think you're kind of failing. Yeah. You know, it's just too easy not to use, but,

but I, but that I also think there's no, there's no, I don't want to say there's no replacement. Right now out there, there's not a replacement of another human being that holds you accountable you agree that you'd be somewhere at a certain time they come there's a relationship they make you confident that you're doing things correctly um they're intelligent enough to be able to uh you know look at the movement and make changes based off body type and you know so i i don't think there's a replacement for that yet but those optimist tesla things look pretty smart and the ones that like give you french fries and stuff while you charge your car and walk around maybe maybe

Maybe they'll be yelling, hip draft. I don't know. As far as equipment goes, like, dude, it's cast iron. You just move something heavy up and down. I feel there's a whole lot of AI optimization in that. Yeah, I mean, I agree. There's stuff out there, and I'm not a total gym, home gym nerd. But I know there's stuff where you, like, stand on a mat and hold a bar.

And then you can turn up the resistance. There's stuff that folds out of the wall. and digitize and I mean I don't think that could be completely 100% wrong I don't know if they have something that you can replicate a 600 pound deadlift without having 600 pounds you know in your garage but else wouldn't be surprised if if it happened yeah but I'm old school you know I still listen to my records on vinyl it's going to be like vinyl yeah still listen to my records on vinyl and hoist my cast iron with barbells and that's how I plan to do it till the day I die. Yes, sir.

Because we're from the cornbread tastes better out of a cast iron skillet, am I right? You're right. That's it. I'm Winchester on questions. Very well. Sounds like we're on the Chow Talk. Oh, Chow Talk. Please and gentlemen. That's what we're all here.

Yeah. This one, I don't know if it'll be, I mean, I do have some things to peel back the onion. We're not talking about onions, though. That'll be a different week for Chow Talk. But this one's chopped on as eggs. Like an onion, the more you peel, the more layers. The more you peel an egg, though, you kind of either you yoke all over yourself or if it's hard-boiled, then, you know, you get a delicious little snack there. Let's talk through them.

What's your favorite way to consume with you, to prepare an egg? First of all, it's the best food, hands down. It's made of a better food. Name of better food. Milk. No. eggs are better what came first the milk or the egg oh I feel like the egg on that well I mean it just depends

that God create a cow or a chicken first the chicken because God's like this animal is better oh he's going to make eggs are the first did the first cow come with full udders or did that take time oh he's one of that yeah that's good question first the cow or the cow with full udders oh my eggs Yeah, eggs are easy I like pickled eggs Like hard boiled eggs Like scrambled eggs

I'm actually on an egg kick right now I have not eaten breakfast A lot of this time That my buddy's been Out in Indo-Pacom But I've been on a breakfast kick lately I've been lifting in the morning Been doing a little running

So kicked up the cows a bit And I've been super diligent I go into a certain chow hall PFC Flores from Guerrero, Mexico. I talk to him. I'm the only person that walks to the child line,

not scowling and just angry. So for some reason, every time I go to the child, he's like, how does everyone remember you? I'm like, I don't know, because I don't look like

I want to kill someone when I go through the line and I say how they're doing. I say thank you. Yeah, I say thanks. Oh, these are people. So PFC, PFC Flores.

Can't wait for his promotion. Give him an okay podcast ticket, actually. But I go in and there's a little, there's a little bar where you can get like a salad bar and I am getting ham onions green peppers

tomatoes and diced where I think are jalapinos but there's no spice put them in a bowl you hand it at PFC Flores and I just tell them scramble with cheese and you know it's fake eggs right where they get the ladle and it's liquid that's not real right no

no yeah so it's fake eggs that's what they feed the troops maybe the Department of War can fix that but he scrambles them up with cheese and that's my current kick um and then while he's scrambling that i go over to the fast line and i grabbed three hard boiled eggs and the rest of my breakfast doesn't matter but it consists of what i would say two ladles worth i'm a two ladle worth of eggs guys so it's a full plate eggs there's got to be three eggs yeah yeah so it's probably three maybe four so you're crushing like six seven eggs in that half a dozen half a dozen half a dozen eggs yeah easy yeah easy

easy. Yeah, easy. I mean, as you know, we can do 60 in a sitting if we really, someone put a gun to our head. Actually, if someone, someone didn't put a gun to our head, we just didn't have our own accord. I just didn't. I don't even remember being that particularly hungry. I just, we're like, let's do it. So that's what I'm doing for breakfast.

Okay. But, and I'll let you guys weigh in. But I'm a, I'm a fan of eggs on burgers. I'm a fan of, you know, eggs on a ham and cheese sandwich. I do appreciate a good fried egg, a real fried egg. I like over easy. I like eggs in a cup. About egg salad.

Yeah. I will eat egg salad, but I'm not like, oh, wow, egg salad. Pickled eggs, man, that's a dream come true. What about you, Trey? You got to have a good egg story. Man, I told you I've been on a heater. Besides your green egg.

here recently with some quail eggs pickled quail eggs Mr. Fancy pants over there in Texas Do some guy at the So there's a farmer's market There we go to like every Saturday Yeah This guy always has these pickled quail eggs

And I like I'm like yeah I'll take two Every week now he now he has them ready for me Ooh is he Asian No The quail eggs like the little ones like the size of a large marble right? Oh dude, yeah, it's just like pop

it in like candy. Yeah, it's like a Zen. But an egg it's like a nature's nice. Yeah, it's nature Zen. So I know the reason I said it was Asian, I never saw quail eggs until I was introduced to hot pot in California. Yeah. And so

when you go to hot pot, you know, you get all the stuff and then you can ask for these weird sides. Like the Japanese have like a I'm going to ruin this an arugato gazimus egg. And it's like a raw egg yolk with like spices and oil in it. And so like you dip your meat into the sauce and cook it and then you pass through the raw egg. And I always get that one.

And then I'm like, quail eggs. And he's like, they come in six. I'm like, good, two orders. And then I dump those bad boys in the soup. And oh, I love quail eggs. Big quail egg guy. Man. Right.

Yeah. No, I'm a big. I like them. I like them all styles. I don't have a favorite. Do you drink raw eggs ever? I have not done that. That's the only thing I have not done.

Yeah. I think I got into that kick when I was like 16. That's me why. Watch Rocky. Yeah. Yeah. Wasn't watching Jaws back then, but I did watch Rocky. Okay.

Wow. Interesting. When I was in college, I would eat the, uh, or take out the yolk. I would get like, you know, on H or ATB or whatever you're getting your eggs. You can go, go get the bag of hard bowled eggs. And then I would get the egg white and put like, I would make my own peanut butter, and then I would, like, put it in the egg white. Wait, what?

Do you buy eggs off of the HGTV? No, H-E-B. What's H-G-B? It's a grocery store in Texas. They're very passionate about H-GBs, apparently. I were watching HG-TV and calling in. Yeah, call them up. Call and dial the number on the screen.

Send me all your eggs, please. Who's a shark tankling? from HGTV, Lori? Yeah, yeah, Lori. Just buying eggs from Lori. Wait, what do you do with the peanut butter? Yeah, you take the egg white, and you put peanut butter in the egg white.

Delicious. What do you do with the yolk? Is the egg white cooked? You eat the yolk? Yeah. It's a hard-boiled egg. Oh, it's a hard-boiled egg, and you eat peanut? Oh, I'm going to have to try this a chow tomorrow.

Yeah. Egg whites and peanut butter. Throw it in. You don't need. eat a lot of peanut butter just a little bit but it's pretty good and do you like mix it up like whisk it no i just you like make you just put it in like uh i'm holding it off camera you just like you literally just cut it in half i would eat the egg yolk like put salt and pepper on it oh and then you got like so it's like a deviled egg with peanut butter that's it my man yeah i got it that's how they make them

in texas pretty good i liked it yeah put a lot in college um All right. Texas deviled egg. I think they just called that a Texas egg. Mm. Mm. I just wanted to show you all the different ways I would eat eggs. I know Jeff's got strong egg opinions.

I feel like most of the time I go was scrambled. You know, just easy. Yeah. Easy way to do it. Yeah, love a fried egg. Any sort of egg sandwich. Love a breakfast burrito where eggs are the big, are the big player there. The Machaca burrito.

Those are great. Those are great. Really good. I don't know. Yeah, nothing else said other than outside of the ways you all mentioned. Do you all buy into the like, if you get like, you know, like the free range and like, you know, if you took like a regular egg and like a free range, you know, passed the $8.99 a dozen eggs versus like the $4.99 a dozen eggs. Well, aren't our whole eggs like $4,000, $19, now? I'll be honest.

I never saw any change in the price of eggs, but I just kept waiting for it. I saw a change. I guess I need to be buying my eggs off HGTV for the deals. Give Lori a call, yeah. Let me see. Price of Eggs USA right now. I feel like the freeway, the free range. They're bigger, right?

A little bigger, but I don't know. Yeah, if they've got that, like, kind of like, deeper orangeish yoke like i do have you ever gone straight from those are great those are great like someone like a hen laid them and you just get them straight from there yeah i just sit underneath that hand and just eat those eggs straight on no no no bring some peanut butter in my mouth there's no no rise the eggs come out still warm it's called counting your chickens before they hatch um no i've had the fresh eggs so i guess my thought on that is if it's in a grocery store

and package I have a hard time believe in whatever they're saying but I do believe there's probably something to that and the egg tastes better yeah I assume the most expensive eggs the best egg that's kind of going into I do like the fresh eggs though

except sometimes they're like abnormally small that is like if chicken's not drinking enough milk now you'll just get a batch of a bunch of double yokers the best best animal hands down

it's a chicken it's a bowling ball of meat that can't fly that lays more food for free and then when you're in super hungry

you just eat the bowling ball every good meal starts with the death of a pig yeah and Jesus said they're no longer unclean and I can eat pork

so Big pork guy over here Well that means And the ones You have Boston Butts Ooh Boston butts

All right Well yeah We may get into pork Here later on In chow talk But yeah no Good good eggs discussion I was saying

I'm your God green egg all right let me give the MLB recap which will be really stale by the time this air is a week old Red Sox are doing everything they can to not make the playoffs

since Roman Anthony's out they've been struggling drop two or three to the athletics can't do that don't let me forget to recap the USA under 18 world championship game that I went to but yeah pulling for the red Sox 86% chance still make the playoffs I think they'll still make the playoffs but uh it's been fun it's at time of baseball where it's fun next week I think they'll be when we record they'll be like just a few games left but it's looking good yank's gonna be in brewers in a lot of folks in okay I saw that the Dodgers pitchers

retiring which one so Connie son now search is K Kershaw Kershaw Sammy Kershaw Sammy Kershaw

you were not hit that guy barbecue chicken and aluminum foil even he was into the bowling balls of meat that produced more food that's it yeah

Bowling balls at me. But yeah, let's hear about the, we said under 21. Yeah. Under 18. So under 18, team USA. I've been, you know, going around our got to and Gizimann a lot. One of these days, I'll tell you guys about Australia, not today. But we go to the stadium.

Getting the tickets was insane. It was, did I go over that last week? You said it was like a 10-step process. But I hadn't lived it yet. So you buy the tickets on. online, which is hard enough to do. You get the tickets. Then you have to go to Lawson's and find this machine. And so I go to the machine. Yeah, this is the happen after we record. I go to the machine. I pull up the Lawsons. I find the machine and go in there and like the whole thing is

in Japanese. So try like back out of the screen, put it on English, can't put it on English, or you put it on English, but it only gives you information. You can't get to baseball and I'm like trying to figure it out. And then I scan a barcode that I'd screenshot it and like a thing pops up, but it's all in the Arragato Gizimus. And I can't get there. And I, I see, like, my ticket number that populated because numbers are universal, thank God. And I'm looking at my phone. I'm like, okay, that's me. And then it's asked me for something.

I don't know what's asked me. So there's this lady with a mask on because I'm in Japan. It's in the aisle. I'm like, hey, could you read this for me? Please. A lot of hand and arm, Italian signals. And she just, like, looks at me like she's terrified and, like, runs away. I'm like, okay.

So I go up to the counter. I'm like, Kenichiwa, Kumblewa, Ohio. I don't know what time it is. So I'll hit you with all of them. Forget which one's which. Arragato, Zaymas. Baseball machine. she comes over and she's like,

Kenichiwa. And I'm like, yeah, but I don't know what the Kenichi was. And she's like, quenichiwa. So what do I do? I'm like, Grandpa, need help. So I take a photo of it while she's standing there. And I'm like, you know, translate. And he's like,

hey, Grant, they want your name, you idiot. But the keyboards in Japanese. So my grandpa, how do I spell my name of Japanese? So it pops up and I like show it to her. And grandpa's like, well, first, I have to translate it from Italian. And then I can translate it to Japanese. And he gives me my name in Japanese and she enters it

and it prints me a receipt. I'm like, ticket and then you go to the counter and then they scan that thing and then it prints a tickets. Anyway, getting tickets was like a huge thing. Get to the game. Rained LA which was perfect because we were going to be there, maybe missed first pitch. We're walking in

going upstairs and I just see like two moms and I'm they're just American. And I've never been. and like more excited. They're probably like 55 team USA shirts on hats like typical baseball moms and you know me, real shy guy.

And I'm just like, hey, what number am I pulling for today? Like who, who am I pulling for? And she's like, number two. I forgot his name now. And her name was Barbara. And I'm like, all right, where's he from? She's like, Erie Pennsylvania. I'm like, oh, the catcher. I know. She's go, oh, you follow the team? I was like, I'm big on this team. I was like, how about you? Where are you from? And she's like, I'm from Woodstock, Georgia.

I was like, oh, your son's the pitcher number 24. And she's like, whoa, wow, we're so glad you're here. We go up. The place is empty. I'm like, oh, because the way everything fell out. Like, we're already locked in for the gold tomorrow against Japan. I'm like, oh, cool. She's like, are you all coming tomorrow? I was like, I don't know. Hadn't thought about it. And she's like, whoa, come here. Let me introduce you to so and so. Go over to some other lady. And she's like, oh, hey, I'm so glad y'all came and immediately it's just you're like around 50 americans and not like not like expats that are like let me prove to you i can speak japanese like you're around like 50 people that are like what is an arragado gizimus like where can i get a hot dog like what is going on to the world

all this is weird and so i'm loving it and she's like oh are you a marine i'm like yes i am and she's oh do you know charlie she's like uh i don't know like what's he do she's like i don't know he's a colonel. I was like, maybe. Do you know where he works? She's like here in Okinawa. I'm like, yep, Marines here. Oops, that might be, that might be CUI. Beep that out, Jordy. And, and so anyway, she gives us tickets for the next day, which was great. So then they play, they mercy rule. Um, not Australia. Who did I say they were playing? I already forgot. Uh, Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico and I just become super fan. I'm there with like

five people and my boy the catcher number two. I was just calling him deuce, just doose. I don't care what anyone thinks. I'm just screaming. I'm heckling 17 year old Japanese boys and I've been so like trained as a Marine to not mess with

the local populace that it was, I actually had to turn it down, you know, because you're supposed to be good and I'm like, this is America. Well, the Japanese boys are the next day. Puerto Rico, we're heckling them they were loud and proud but the stadium the internet says the seats 30 but the following day we went back they're playing japan they put the attendance on the screen which was 15,800 every seat was full the grass behind was full dang and the japanese love baseball oh yeah they are really really

into it you know what they don't do like the 12 Marines we brought that linked up of those red blooded Americans scream and we were loud we had flags we were going crazy and yeah it was really fun USA won two nothing gold championships uh USA yeah a bunch of guys gave us the rings there was some there were some pro baseball players there whose sons were on the team uh shoemaker he's like a manager for the marlins uh his son was on the team he was there uh it's really funny seeing like the dads that never played baseball, like trying to be like all chummy with like, you know, the MLB players that were there. I was like actually a really funny dynamic to watch.

They did not serve hot dogs. One of my buddies went and bought what he thought was a corn dog. And he's like, I'm so pumped. I'm at a baseball game about to eat a corn dog bites into it. It's full of rice. Like this should be a sin. It looks exactly like a corn dog and it's a rice dog. But he didn't, but someone else did.

you know Marines are you ain't no chow going to drift you got to push that show yeah I'm all about the under USA under 18 USA team and then I looked up like the 2019 team a lot of those guys made the majors which I think we spoke to it's pretty cool last week that's cool so yeah big and then I wanted to buy swag there was no swag and then one of my buddies was like gonna try and buy a Japan jersey I'm like what are you doing are you trying back to back world war champs and we're trying to win another The one, like, he's like, sir, like we're over here, like in Japan. I'm like, yeah, but today we are here for one thing. That's victory over this country.

And we got it. We got it. BJ Day. Victory over Japan. Yeah, Vodge. Vodge. All right, let's go to my least favorite topic. Well, we should talk about college.

Rough weekend. Well, don't you start with your team there, Trey. Yeah. You have the most... Start with the most exciting one, huh? Yeah. Dude, I needed... So, A&M, Notre Dame, 4140.

Last minute touchdown. I... Jeff was texting me throughout the game, just checking in on me. Make sure I was all right. But I needed an AED during that game. That was a nervous wreck. But I'm super good.

I told Jeff probably the best A&M game I've ever seen. I wish I had watched it I didn't but I've seen a lot of highlights and it looked looked like a pretty good game a lot of fun man was a good good good so it's always fun there's been a lot of games like that where A&M was on the goes it was more than the 40th than the 41 so it was good to be on the other end of that so I'm not ready to talk about the gamecocks yet I will talk about today but here's what I do think is interesting game Cox start number 10 Notre Dame starts

number the season of what number eight? Eight. Yeah. Yeah. No, they were hiring that. Gamecocks climbed to 10. But this week, Notre Dame was eight. My point is Gamecocks are two and one

ugly wins over South Carolina State and Virginia Tech, but two Ws. Ws nonetheless lose to Vanderbilt bad completely fall out of the ranking. justified, justified. Notre Dame is 0 and 2 has not won a game

in the rank 24th. Ridiculous. That's wild. Ridiculous. AP loves Notre Dame. Oh my gosh. They'll do any, like they will, yeah, justify any, anything to keep them

in the top 25. Yeah. Yeah. There was a lot of memes on X of like there's a screenshot that everyone takes now or it shows the AP poll. It shows each. voter and like how they rank the teams so it looks like a quilt because it's like the teams or the

you know logos yeah it's like zoomed out and you can see everything single pick and everyone's like what was brenda schula thinking or whatever her name was and she like ranked the gamecox number eight and was like what game was she watching um yeah i guess for a good Auburn then gamecox got defeated guy I told you I didn't like the series 21 21 I don't like 16 a row records have to be broken Lenores out, Nick Harbour out. Those things are not good for an already lethargic offense. They expect him to come back, though, right? Yeah, some stuff I've seen today is 16 is going to be under center.

I don't know, a lot of fire Shane Beamer, more fire Mike Shula, the offensive coordinator. I'm a long-term time gamecock fan. I'm like, hey, zoom out for fastest coach and... program history to get to 30 wins. So, like, you know, I can't, I can't sell my Bitcoin just yet. If anything, I'm just buying the dip. Buy in the dip. I'll be curious if, you know, Virginia Tech fired their coach.

So all that. A lot of talk about that. If they come calling for Beamer, Beam around two. He's an alumnus. Yeah, he's on the, there was like three coaches they named for Votech that are potentials. And he was on the list. Hmm. Mizzou this week.

Mizzou at Mizzou, at Mizzou, yeah, battle for the real Columbia. Ooh, the real Columbia. Mm-hmm. Is it by the way, it is? Isn't it at Mizzou? Yeah, yeah, no, no, the real Columbia. Yeah, we are.

Yeah, come on. You can't wear a gold chain to a SEC football team and act like you're from the south. Right. Mizzou. Let's come on. Yeah, get out of here. Get out of it.

here at me zoo who's got who's A&M got next week by this week and then that's kind of nice that makes sense that's kind of nice you don't have that letdown week after the big win that's kind of nice we got that we got a big old mean Auburn coming into town so

hmm we're about to go through the meat grinder we're going to yeah Auburn's got a good game this week yeah who's Auburn playing we got we got Oklahoma so oh yeah that's like the biggest game old uh jackson arnold going back to to oklahoma uh that'll be interesting probably a lot of emotions for him didn't look great against south alabama uh only yeah 31 15

don't love that would like to see a lot more points on the board but again don't know we'll see when you're clunkers dude it's w so state bailer south alabama But then, yeah, Auburn's about to rattle off Oklahoma, A&M, Georgia, Missouri. Is Georgia home? I got to see where that one's at. They're going to be in the yard cracker. Okay.

And Arkansas, I think Arkansas might be sneaky good. Their offense is good. Their defense is no, bueno. I'm excited to see if Vandy's good. That will be interesting. Mandy, Vandy could be the real deal. I'm intrigued as well Notre Dame goes down to Arkansas

soon yep so Auburn Oklahoma Trey who you got well I actually have my list up that I need to go through oh your pickums
