All right, and welcome back to episode 088 of the OK podcast, powered by the Stranko.
I am your host, Grant Brogey, joined in studio today with Mr. Jeff Bouget, not in a drilling status from the greater Salt Lake City region, home of the hockey club, home of Mitt Romney, home of salty lakes, and lots more.
probably I would assume there's more things there besides
Salt Lakes and Mitt Romney but that's what comes to buy when I think of that
besides Mr. Jeff Bougier also joining us
from the great state of
Texas Texas
I was thinking of the city
I think I've used them all up I want to see if you get another one
Yeah.
Brownstown.
Let's call it.
Let's go Brownstown.
Let's go Brownstown.
Browns Town.
There's a Brownsfield.
There's a Brownsville.
Brownstown.
Okay.
There's a Brownsville.
Okay.
See, we just call that.
There's one in Indiana.
There's one in Illinois.
There's one in PA.
Focus on Brownsville.
That's what I was thinking of.
That's over there by Gladys Porter Zoo.
Yeah.
Yeah, Mottomor Palo Alto Battlefield.
Yeah.
Great spot.
Brownsville, Texas.
Yeah, they got a nice fountain.
It's a border event.
And a clock.
It's down by the border, I think, right?
Big border guy, Sec Wars got me thinking about the border.
Everybody should be thinking about the border.
We are border guys.
Today's day is December the 16th in the year of our Lord 2025.
That means it's nine days till Christmas.
By the time you listen to this podcast, it'll be less than a week.
It'll be less than a week away.
Price Bitcoin is $87,320.31. I hope you enjoyed that Bitcoin economics lesson that we gave you last week. A lot of good comments from that. We are running degraded comms. We'll get to it in the brief. Degraded comms. We've run into some technical difficulties, comms, but downcoms, been up. Due to running degraded comms, we get to the outlying stations in that portion of the call three. I'm going to need you to see if any of them chimed in because I don't currently have access.
to my Sipper network on the high side.
I can only talk on the low side.
High sides down because I need a new pin for the token.
Actually, my phone's just over there so I can be here with you guys via hotspot.
I don't want someone to think that I actually got locked out of the account.
I'm too smart for that.
A lot of fun things talk about.
What I learned this week, what I learned this week is sometimes you watch these sports guys.
you watch these, you know, political guys and they podcast every day and you say,
how in the world can these people podcast every day?
And then when you podcast once a week, you just realize there's too much stuff that happens
in a course of six days and a wake up to stay up to date.
But we'll try, we'll do our best.
And as soon as we, tomorrow morning we'll wake up, some will happen.
It'll be like, man, we should have recorded the podcast on Wednesday night.
But that's why they call it podcasting.
this podcast is brought to you by

This podcast is brought
to you by green gridiron, gridiron
green. The finest
helmets. They're the helmet
machine. That's what we've always said.
Yeah, the best guy, Mr. Helmet.
And I am wearing the
Strenko Christmas shirt. It's got
a little, it's got a little
Christmas hat on it.
It says Merry Christmas on the sleeve.
it's made in America, it's six and a half ounces of ring spun, North Carolina cotton.
It's a good shirt, limited run, and they're flying up the shelves.
You'll be lucky if when you listen to this Friday, you can even go buy one.
Long intro, I had a lot to get off my chest.
I need to get my mojo going on, lost cat going on, crying baby, internet down, mobile hotspot,
innovate, adapt, overcome, grant.
why don't you just build cast iron internet networks you know grant just yeah just build that
just build cameras grant build something else grant yeah cast iron cameras come on are those coming
out soon or yeah yeah they're coming out soon yeah q1 2026 what are we thinking q2 yeah uh we're
I'm thinking Q1.
Yeah, Q, what are you talking fiscal or physical?
Oh, well, I do.
Or did you know calendar?
Okay, calendar.
Yeah.
Because remember saying physical is just saying fiscal incorrectly.
So when people say the physical year, they're actually thinking one October in their mind,
but they don't realize that words mean things.
And so much to say, so much to do.
all right Dave Matthews
yeah hey I mean we were listening
the soundtracks in the preamble you know
I'm a big fan of the cars the cooks
what we're listening to the crows the black crows
the cars
the cars yeah
yeah
great cars
better than they are driving
true that's true
I wouldn't drive those cars
but Billy Martin would
oh Billy Martin would
usually he's hearing of a band
yeah yeah billy martin dave matthews they made up the cars
yeah that's it yep yep yep yep they say unlikely duo they were really
they wrote that song i'll fly away classic instant southern baptist classic
little enough like billy martin wanted to be called i drive away but dave out of it
yeah he was actually drunk when he wrote the song so they wrote it down fly and it worked out
he did remember yeah yeah great you know those little um facts yeah let's kick it over to the three
okay i think it's going to be short brief that none of the slides got updated because we're
officially in like the the thick of marine corps ramadan here okay so we had the birthday ball
uh then we had uh our our basket leave our holiday leave block for thanksgiving and then we came back
for a week and then we immediately
went on leave block for Christmas.
And for you deploying types,
I know you probably thought you were going to get
post-deployment leave
and Christmas leave.
But that's not how this works.
Okay?
You guys get 30 days of leave a year.
Okay?
I'd like you to go find one of your buddies
working in corporate
that gets 30 days of leave a year.
Okay, go find one of your buddies
that gets 30 days of leave a year.
days of leave a year. Okay. Now, it's not my fault that I will dictate to you when you will take
that leave. You, if your wedding falls in line with a field op on the teep, you're not taking
leave. You had a leave block. It was called Christmas. Uh, yeah, but, but sir, like, we, like,
everyone just got back from deployments. You're thinking like, maybe they'd have some like post-deployment
leave and then Christmas leave. And then, you know, they've been gone for,
like he no no no listen listen you get 30 days leave a year you find a buddy with 30 well
sir can i just make a deal with you what if i just gave you 20 of them back but i could take 10
whenever i wanted no no you are afforded in a leave block and you take that leave when it's on
the teeth okay okay yeah and that leaf block when you total it up does not add up to 30 days by
no one question that math no one question that math whatsoever goodness gracious me okay um yeah so
like said none of the slides got updated but um s1 do you have anything just like you know
shooting from the hip here um i'm this i'm the s3 zulu briefing for the the three um so i'm not
really sure how these meetings go because i'm usually uh in the thick of writing uh upboards and hey sir uh
and correcting.
Usually the ads in here,
but I think I'm,
you probably don't really know what you're doing
because you're like a lieutenant and everything
and just probably finished like,
I don't know, your first toy,
you ain't really know what's going on, 20 years over here.
But, but yeah,
the numbers are good.
But there's nothing from the,
you don't need to worry about the one.
We actually probably don't even need to be here.
Actually, I'm just going to leave LT.
I'm out.
Oh, oh, okay.
Fodhorn leg horns, the S-1 chief.
Okay.
good good good to go master sergeant good to go okay thank you um who goes next in these briefs uh
what do we do i don't i didn't get any guidance or commander's intent and i was told at tbs that i would
always get in commanders intent and guidance and i'm lost at the moment hey this is trash five i got a buy
der. I got a by der. Actually, I got a
acting
when she's more authoritative
than a byder.
I can sign things, but if I'm acting,
I am trash six.
So I'm going to use my trash six voice. I'm a little
disappointed when I walked in here. There's an 0.4.
There was no frigging dad gone. Titch it on deck.
But we're just going to take this brief
and go right
to the outline stations.
And we're in the brief.
Everybody's got to go on leave.
use two of your 30 days
because you can never use the rest.
And for some reason,
I feel like I'm from Louisiana right now.
The office chief did want me to bring up one thing in particular.
He left at,
well,
he didn't even come to work today.
He just sent me a text.
And he just said,
do we fill out our harp forms?
Everyone needs to fill out their harp forms.
Heart.
HARP, H-A-R-P, I don't know what the acronym stands for, but we have to fill them out every
time we go on a long break.
Yeah, wait, what is, what is, vehicle inspections?
Is it HARP?
Yeah, why was there like a corporal checking my blinkers in 2013?
Don't know.
Oh, that's what that is.
I remember that.
Yeah.
Harp, hazard application rendezvous point.
Sure.
I don't, yeah, I don't know.
Hazard assessment.
Well, I actually don't know what that is.
Checking my bleakers.
It's true.
It's true.
You had to like, in the big,
I was the fake thing.
He was like, oh, God, make sure these vehicle inspection checklists get done.
Okay, you ready?
And they'd be like, do you have jumper cables?
I was not that far off.
Holiday accident reduction program.
A mandatory pre-leave document for Marine
to plan travel assess risks such as driving alcohol and activities with their leaders and ensure
vehicles and personal safety before holidays to prevent off-duty mishaps and accidents. Less commonly,
harp can also mean helicopter advanced readiness program, but it's probably how the accident
reduction. Sounds a lot cooler, yeah. Oh, man. Do you do that, do you implement that at the
the Strength Co?
Doesn't sound like it.
Yeah. Yeah.
I make all the employees.
The helicopter.
Yeah.
We flew a drone over the Strength Co.
once.
Got some cool footage.
Okay.
Oh, dang.
Filt that heart phone.
Yep.
That's why they call it a harp form.
Okay.
Well, if that concludes our brief, well, the, that portion of the brief.
So now we're going to, we're going to kick it over to outline stations.
I'm going to run down the list here going in,
chronological order.
We got a big daddy, Sean Shep, checking in from the mecca of MFR in New Orleans, Louisiana.
That's what I thought like I needed to talk from the bayou today.
I hope you get some gumbo down there, Shawnee.
He's drilling off cycle and making the commandant proud.
Hey, hell yeah, brother.
Sluat you.
It's about the second of the podcast.
All right. We got Nathan Eckberg, Chaplin, checking in. And I just wanted to remind everyone the real reason for the season, secure and trash. And then he writes, Jesus was born in a stable. And you know what that means. Some little farm boy secured that trash in the place for a baby to be born. I'm calling on you to secure that trash in your life and make a place for baby Jesus in your heart. Chapman.
Oh, maybe he met in our heart in your harp form.
Make room for Jesus in your climate.
Oh, is that one of the helicopter?
It was prophetic.
That's one of the blocks.
Yeah.
Where's Jesus?
Did you clear out the trance for baby Jesus?
And check your brothers.
All right.
And then one more outline station.
We got Matt Ronan checking in.
Medic 5.
Checking in.
Appreciate you.
No.
Okay.
Do we going to get comments?
I feel like there was a comment in there about eggnog.
Just go to click the heart.
We got a comment.
Oh,
oh.
I feel like I could see Tray doing this.
Okay.
Okay.
Claudia Gay writes in,
make French toast with eggnog.
You're welcome.
Okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
That's really good.
That I can do that train.
Yeah.
So, it's old.
Yeah.
All right.
All right. Okay. Those are the outline stations. Good stuff. Love it. Love the outline. Thanks.
Checking in. Yeah. If you're not watching on YouTube, you should. Products in, uh, objects in
image are clearer than they appear on YouTube. So for Trey and Jeff, I look like, uh, a 1980s video game.
But, uh, once we get on YouTube, this thing will be crystal clear, crystal clear.
Oh, boy. Uh, yes, good.
Check it on YouTube.
Okay.
Then looking at our agenda.
Haunts, stop for two minutes.
I got to go grab something.
Stalling.
Oh, yeah, we got to do what's in the box.
We got to do what's in the bag.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I got, let me grab my bag, too.
I got mine handy.
I'm ready to rock.
I assume that's what he meant when he said he had to go grab something.
That's my assumption as well.
but you know you never know with tray he could be going to get toilet paper a brisket
he's got a bag oh look at he's got a brisket he's got a brisket he's got a brisket is that a fly
fishing shirt you're wearing it is patagonia shirt it's like a chocolate comfort natural hoodie
i think i got the same thing and baby blue does it have thumbholes yeah yeah it's a fly fishing shirt
Yeah, you can't wear that with a real caster.
Can't wear it with a real caster.
You can only fly fish in that shirt.
Oh, dang.
So a little preface on, well, Jeff, why do you just make this your segment?
You know?
My segment.
Yeah.
Hold on.
I feel like he's reaching.
I already know what's in the bag.
You opened it, didn't you?
I, the special instructions were, do not open the bag.
I will say
Abby opened this
Abby open this one
I have still not seen it
I go open it back in I don't look at it
What kind of marriage is this for your wife
I forgot we were doing it on air
Yeah
Literally texted you guys
He said you're going to get a package
It says it's from the Strength Co
It's not
We had a listener
Give us these gifts
In Las Vegas at the ball
I'm going to mail them to you.
Don't open it.
And then Trey goes, is this the bag?
I'm not supposed to open.
And I go, yep.
And Jeff goes, Jeff goes, Jeff goes,
you're not going to like it,
Trey.
I said, what?
How do you know what's in the bag?
Jeff?
How do you know?
How do you know?
I was like, I don't know.
Of course.
I just know,
I just know,
I just know I could tell.
It was like,
it's not a book.
So he's not going to like it,
you know.
Yeah, it's not a book or a brisket.
Mine's in a bag.
Oh, but look, you're showing it off.
What are you doing over here?
It's in a bag now.
All right.
We'll let, we'll let, uh, we'll let, uh, we'll let tray open his first.
And he can guess what listeners sent him.
I know what they are.
I was given a box of all them and I had to open it.
Yeah.
All right.
So you've seen it.
Okay.
Yeah, I know it.
I have not opened it.
So I'm the, I, as at this point, I'm the only one who's done now.
you're the you're the only real one
yeah
red oh my gosh
I don't know what the notes said
Troy here's a shirt from Troy Campbell
and an old X-Nus card
oh yeah
I love it
you know
show yours I got mine out here
at least you got a better color
good night dude
I held it.
Kaylee was so confused.
Yeah.
The,
the,
the,
she was like,
she was like,
what is that shirt?
It's like it's an Ohio State shirt.
She's like,
I don't like,
yeah,
why.
For those not watching,
we have three shirts.
I would say the,
except it's the Ohio State.
They're Nike T-shirts
for Troy Campbell Senior.
But I think we got to put some kind of
wager here. So one,
as much as
we don't like the team,
I don't know that we've had any other listeners
send us stuff for free outside of
Mr. Helmut. No.
That's pretty cool. Ohio State
has moved up to one.
Like it's just by the fact that
they did this. Oh, yeah.
Like just by the fact. Yeah, you know what I mean?
Exactly. So I don't know. How do we want to do it?
Do we want to say
is, we got to do it in a way of like
is Ohio State going to play at him?
I mean, anything's possible, I guess, at this point.
If A&M wins this weekend, yes.
Okay.
Which I think they plan on doing.
Yeah.
Plan on it.
So we got to have something.
Since you're the only guy still not in it,
or still in it, Trey,
I think Jeff and I will just wear them one day.
And then I think if,
I think if the Aggies lose,
you got to wear it.
You know what?
I feel like that's a good bet.
I feel like if A&M makes it and plays Ohio State.
I feel like if the Aggies win, though,
it's also like a power move to wear it
because you're like, yep,
my team won and they beat these guys.
No, what I plan to do is send him an A&M shirt
before it.
And then I just need, I want VIR.
If A&M ends up being Ohio State,
then I just need a picture of him
in an A&M shirt.
Or we could just send him a helmet.
And then I'll wear it.
That'll work too.
I also got sent this.
A small one.
I also got sent this in the bag.
A Minnesota Vikings
Beanie.
And there was also a baby.
Yeah, not a big Vikings fan.
Well, it's also like, hey.
Also a baby from the state of Ohio.
And they were like, hey, could you raise it?
His name is the baby.
A baby bib that's Detroit Lions.
So I got the whole trifecta.
B.A.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
Oh, H. I.O.
So anyway, we appreciate the gifts.
I'm going to be wearing it next week when I come on the show.
I'll be wearing it no matter what next week on the show.
Jeff will wear his.
Trey, I feel like if there's a future matchup coming on.
We'll get them on.
It'll be good.
Appreciate the gifts.
Thank you very much.
If you guys want to send stuff to us,
100% just send it to us.
I do appreciate it.
And we'll make dumb videos with it.
It's pretty awesome.
It just goes to show you how cheap or loyalty is.
Yeah, seriously.
You send me a shirt.
You send me a shirt.
Sold free t-shirt.
Yeah, a team that I've disliked for a decade plus.
Like, oh, you know, they're not that bad, you know.
I got to say, there was actually.
four shirts in there.
So you got what?
Gray, Jeff.
Gray.
Tray's got red.
I kept black for myself.
You're welcome.
There was two grays.
And I'll post this image on the podcast story.
There's my brother's wife,
Home Depot brother's wife.
I grew up with that family.
Last name's Drale.
The oldest boy, they had five kids.
His name was Brian.
When I was in like middle school,
he's like a freshman at the Ohio State big guy big weightlifter I think is a marathon runner now
builds houses in Georgia somewhere awesome guy so I had like these four shirts and when you're a
guy that sits on t-shirt inventory like the best thing you do if you got extra shirts you just
give them away because otherwise there's just like this box with like hundreds of shirts and you're
like what am I ever going to do with this 2019 turkey pole shirt or whatever the case is so anyway
So he's a customer bar, he's bought a lot of plates.
So I just went in, created an order, put a thing in there because he listens to the OK podcast and comments sometimes.
And I said, hey, Brian, here's a shirt I'll never wear from an OK podcast fan.
And he took a photo of himself wearing.
I think he's like flexing or something.
Send it back.
He's like, hey, thanks for the shirt.
Okay.
So yeah, I'll post it up.
So thanks for the fourth shirt, which got put good to good use.
Anyway, what a second.
Man, we were 25 minutes in.
We've talked about nothing.
What's the next gift?
Yeah.
Okay, listeners.
Let's keep the gifts coming.
We're getting used to it.
What's next?
Yeah.
Are you from something that we hate?
We'll love you quickly if you just send us something.
Give me a shirt, baby.
I see a shirt.
Venezuela.
Venezuela.
Yeah, Venezuela.
Venezuela.
The Venezuelan flag?
Yeah, I'll replace the American one.
Thanks for supporting the bag.
free shirts
yeah
free shirts
get a lot of people
you know we'll have some time
stuff will get torched
stuff will get torched
and shipping
especially during Black Friday
so you know
we're black Friday is really
it is it's a marathon
not a sprint
the shopping for people
is a sprint
but the like
fulfillment
customer happiness
which for us is like
really high
but stuff does happen
it's the highest
shipping time
of the year right like there's just every carrier swamp people are mishandling stuff i don't know how
much packages you guys get or ship but it's like every day when ups and fadex come it's like two different
guys i've never seen one's like 13 years old like getting whipped to get out of the truck to get
packages stuff's just like getting tossed you got like the holiday surge people and so it's you know
hey i buy two 365 pounds sets of plates that's a lot of packages right by the time that's like
all going out.
Oh, yeah.
And, like, people often forget, you know, packages or going down conveyor belts and
something gets hung up and, you know, a box of fives falls off the side.
And so then the packages land.
And then it's like, you get this email, hey, I'm missing a set of fives and I check the
truck and they're worn out on the truck.
And, like, most of the time we just, we try to be quick with customer service.
But around this time of the year, we just, like, wait about 48 hours to respond to
everything because most people are like wait till it resolves itself oh hey it came the next day
oh hey it came the next day but sometimes you'll get like the box will be destroyed and the plate
will be scratched up and it's like in my opinion minor in terms of hey i know it's going to look
for the life of the lifter but at the same time it's like hey you you bought a nice product you wanted
it to land and so you'll get emails like why don't you guys boxing's better it's like brother
we use this boxing and packaging 330 days a year with like zero
flaws. Trust me, we've like upgraded it over time. This is like, these things are going into combat
over Black Friday weekend. I say all that full circle, circle them back, like the Marine officer
that I am to a T-shirt, you get a guy, he's like, I got 345s. They're all scratched up. The FedEx
boxes exploded. And so we always just start with de-esculating the situation. We're just like,
hey, so sorry this happened. We're going to get you fixed up to have you a good-looking plate.
we're filing a claim with FedEx for all three packages for, you know, misuse and mishandling.
In the meantime, do you file the claims form?
Yeah, we file them for them.
Yep, we do it all.
Oh, that's way better.
That's super nice.
Yeah, that's awesome.
That's way better that way.
And then, yeah, because then you can manage it and care and then you know what the outcome is.
And it's also like if it's denied, I just tell the customer like, hey, it was denied.
You know, do you want to go through with a return?
a refund, you know, at that point, the person's actually probably already started like
lifting with it. And most of this stuff and like our products because it is cast iron. Most of it
is like really minor, but it's that initial if the box exploded, you know, heartache. In any event,
I'll say, hey, we filed some claims. We filed claims. There's two 45s of FedEx. Well, you know,
we'll see what happens. They usually take three to five days. In the meantime, what's your shirt
size? We appreciate your, you know, your business. And they'll write back like, I'm a large
don't even worry about the claims.
Just send me the shirt.
And you're like, oh, well, that was way easier to mail you a t-shirt than to ship
45s from Arkansas back to California, you know.
So, anyway.
Yeah, now I'm going to get outed with all these listeners.
They're going to be making up stories just to get free shirts.
By the way, if you take me up on that deal, I didn't say it'd be a Stranko shirt.
I'm going to send you an Ohio State t-shirt.
and you're going to be like,
what in their hair?
I got a box full of Ohio State T-shirts.
Why did I get a Minnesota
Biden's beating in the mail?
Might not be your size.
Yeah,
might not.
Got a baby I'm going to send you.
Just grants old skivie shirts from deployment.
It's my polywog t-shirt.
Unwashed.
Wog.
Ooh.
Nice bubbling.
All right.
Oh, yeah, I got to put a mug.
Let's start the show.
What do we do?
Yeah, let's start the show.
It is time to start the show.
What are we doing?
We've got 98% sports topics.
Do you want to start with those, or do we want to kick it with Chow Talk and then just run into sports?
I feel like, here's my opinion.
Chow Talk always gets pushed the last minute.
And I feel like we rush it.
We want to discuss it more.
I feel like let's talk about.
I was going to say if there's one time of the year to just hammer sports down people's
throats.
Now's the time.
It's like how I feel about Black Friday and customer service, or not customer service
and ads.
Usually I'm like, hey, send him a nice YouTube video and instructional.
Hey, by the way, buy some stuff.
Man, once November 1 hits, I'm like, blow their inboxes up.
I want duration suppression 60 days, two a day for 60 days, blow them up.
But we can wait on sports.
we can yeah we can talk some chow i just feel like chow is equally as important to sports
to this podcast i just think that the mixing michigan head coach was hungry and uh he needed
some chow push the wrong chow yeah all right all right all right poor guy yeah we'll get to
we'll get to coach more in a little bit here um
but okay chow talk grant i imagine you'll have some opinions on this tray i imagine you will
i don't know how they'll line up uh jeff should i imagine you'll have some opinions
i'll i can kick off my opinion i think chili is highly overrated
oh are you talking by itself or on things we'll talk like a bowl of chili or a cup of chili
but it it is a it can be a nice enhancement to a thing like a like a like a
a hot dog, you know, but on its own, I think it's pretty overrated.
Yeah, correct. Or Slizzy. That was the other one. Yeah, that's the broad worst. Tray's going
to have opinions. I already know. I like a good bowl of chili. Here's the thing, though,
like if it's, I like it by itself, but it has to have like some spice to it. Like, I want to be,
I want to be sweating.
True Texan right there.
If I'm, yeah, if I'm going to eat it by itself, I want it to have some spice to it.
Hardy, spicy chili.
Yeah, that's kind of like, I don't think, I don't like bland.
I don't like sweet chili.
I don't think Trey's tracking.
Trey, do you put beans in chili?
So I'm not going to die on that.
I prefer it with no beans, but I will also eat it with beans.
That's because you're just here to push chow.
Are you here to push chow?
Hey, I'm not here to push chow.
I'm not here to get in an argument.
I'm here to chew gum and push chow and I'm out of bubble gum.
Are you tracking that I have a 25 minute how to cook chili in your bath in your kitchen
In your bathroom, you'll end up in the bathroom.
Your bathtub.
In your kitchen on an open propane stove?
Are you tracking that, Trey?
I feel like I've seen that before, yeah.
It's been a minute if I have seen it.
Chili's not about beans.
Chili's about spasses.
Yeah.
It's a poor imitation of Mark Ripeto,
trying to get on the map on YouTube in my early days.
He had a video where he's teaching people how to, how to make a Vesper Martini.
And he starts out and he's like in his kitchen.
He's like all lit up.
There's like cast iron everywhere.
He's like in a full sweat.
And he's like, Vespa Martini served up.
And he's like, he like reads some dialogue.
He's like, that is from the book James Bond.
I forget which book it is.
I'm a terrible fan.
And then he goes into how to make a vesper martini.
And the details are crazy.
Xena Real.
The details are crazy.
Like what to do with the olives, like this whole thing.
Well, Rip also has an article on chili that his dad would make in the, what is it?
Something House Cafe.
I'm mad.
I can't remember it.
It'll come to me.
But something house cafe.
And in Wichaw Falls?
It was.
Yeah.
His dad ran a restaurant there.
And he goes into this whole thing.
about the article's like you need
three onions
medium size two
can be yellow one should be purple
right it's like it's just like
random like uh thing so
I took the
the article read it like he read bond
and then I went on and made chili
and it was like before I had
editors and so it's just like
one take me in my
kitchen sweating my balls off
making chili and uh
yeah I've always felt like one day
it's going to go off and people
are going to be like, you know what?
All that, that guy was underrated
for his chili video.
Who cares about a strength training talk?
Deep, deep cut.
It's a deep cut.
It's a deep cut.
Chili, I think, I actually really do like Texas
chili.
I would say that Texas is better at chili
than they are at brisket personally.
Well, they're really good at brisket.
I guess I said that wrong.
What I meant is,
barbecue is what you're saying?
No, I would just say, like,
I think your Texas chili
if I went to a restaurant in Texas, unless I was at like Lockhart or like one of like crazy
well-known brisket places, like I think that you're chilly, your red Texas chili is, I think
it's really good because it's just meat and it's just like meat simmered down into soup.
And it's phenomenal.
And I'm a fan.
At the same time, we got a South Carolina chili recipe that we use in my family.
It does have beans that I also really like.
I do you think you have to be really careful
on too much to, but I do think people can
make chili taste like what I should think
what I think is a spaghetti
sauce, like a bowl and they say like a lot
of meat, red, very tomatoy.
I do think that that is a mistake.
I'm actually with you on that it has to have
a ton of spices. It's about spas
but I'm not going to cry if there's
beans in it.
But yeah, I don't think it's underrated.
Jeff, I'm a chili fan.
I'm a, I'm a,
chili fan but i'm a chili fan okay i'm a chili fan and i'm now i'm on my soapbox i'm a chili fan
if it's made like if you and i were going to like smoke meat which means like we go buy the meat
we prepare the meat we trim the meat we prep the grill like the temperature matters we put it on
there we wrap it and foil maybe we use butcher paper it goes in a cooler at some point around a
towel is all the stuff we do and we cook meat and it's good okay when chili's prepared like that
i'm a fan when chili is i walk into food line and grab 15 cans of stuff on the shelf and dump it into a
crock pot and then bring it to like the chili cook off very overrated but when like chili is it has a
recipe design and purpose i think it's some of the best food out there and especially like you
I served over to a little rice.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm a fan.
Chili hack for use, use guys trying to be healthy.
Instead of sour cream, use Greek yogurt.
That's, I use that for everything, yeah.
Yeah.
It's, but, yeah, throw it on everything.
But if you, yeah, let me have everything.
Name one thing.
I'll throw it on there.
Ohio State T-shirts.
Y'all Greek, Greek yogurt, all over.
Oh, shoot, what was I going to say?
Oh, yeah, but then cheap chili.
Like, you just get like hormels.
And I'll throw that on hot dogs all day.
Quick pause.
You say pause.
All right.
Okay.
Did you guys do a quick pause or did you keep going?
We did a quick pause.
We did quick pause.
I'm sorry about that.
So we'll wrap up chili.
I'll give you the cat update and then we'll start the show.
Oh, fun.
All right.
Yeah.
that's all you got to say about chili yeah that's it about chili go watch the
youtube video uh jordy put it in the show notes and put the starting strength one in
that was back when i used to send videos to them and the first one i think did okay
redid it on my site before i hired you pj for sweet thumbnails did do as well so i feel like
people see the video and they're like ah not that many views watch the original one from the
starting strength channel.
Chile.
It's about spas.
You guys want a little cat update?
Yes.
If you're listening to this,
Jordi's really good.
It edits and stuff.
But if the conversation seems like
it stopped and started,
about 30 minutes
prior to starting the podcast,
the baby goes to bed.
Reading the baby, the stories, put the baby
to bed. Come out. I'm like, I got
30 minutes till the podcast.
I'm going to clean the kitchen for my wife, tidy up the living room, feed the cats, change
the litter box, like when she comes out from putting the baby down, like, and I'm gone because
I'm in the garage podcasting, everything will be nice and tight.
Well, the cats want to be fed, and sometimes you want to delay the cat feeding.
So outside in the backyard, we got this tent.
It's like a mesh tent that we put the smaller agile cat in named Waylon because he has an IQ
low enough that when he's in there, he doesn't realize he's contained and he just thinks he's
outside and he loves it. Calhoun, on the other hand, has a much higher IQ than that would never
be tricked in a tent. But he has just a previous broken leg so he cannot hop the fence. So a great
way to make the cats have a lot of fun outside is just open the back door. Calhoun just moses around,
can't escape. And you put the other one, Waylon, in the mesh tent. Put him in the mesh tent,
put Calhoun out there
go inside. I'm cleaning
dishes. Clean it up. Grinch
cookies. My wife made
tomatoes. My kid threw all over the floor
doing the thing.
Getting cleaned up. I'm like, okay, I want to grab
my Christmas shirt for the podcast.
Everything's good. And then the Calhoun's
just going crazy. Ram,
ram, ram, round. I'm like, I know. I'm going to
feed you. Just chill. And then
he did this once before when the cat got out.
When the cat escapes the backyard, he
like sounds the alarm, like all hands
that so it's seven it's seven uh 1955 for you military pacific coast timers i walk outside i see
the cat on my roof he's all the way down at the inn the garage is detached by about probably
like eight feet of separation and he's looking back and his eyes are lighting up because you know it's
night time he's looking back at me and i'm like waving a bag of treats and yelling
but he's like hunched down, like, can I jump to the garage roof?
And I'm like, come on, please.
Now right now, right now, like, I hear the baby crying in the bedroom.
I'm like, I'm going to go podcast.
My wife's going to come out.
The cat's going to be lost.
Like, I don't need this right now.
And as I'm thinking this, he just jumps, like, Batman lands on the garage.
I'm like, okay, well, I just, I got a podcast.
He's got to be fine.
Cats don't go for him.
A cat veteran.
I know how cats work.
Like, he'll be fine.
Going to go podcasts.
So I come out here.
And then we've got all the Riverside issues.
And so I shoot my wife message.
I'm like, hey, really sorry.
Love you so much.
You're the best wife and mom ever.
By the way, the cat's lost last scene on the garage roof.
I'll deal with it in 90 minutes.
So anyway, while we're a podcast day, I was in due not a service,
she messaged me like, come outside.
Cats right here.
And he was outside on the ground.
behind the garage.
Cat's saved.
Wayland's back in custody.
Order's restored.
It's time to start the show.
Time to start the show.
Let's start the show.
What president came in?
We got him.
Was that Bush?
Yeah.
That's how I feel right now.
Like Saddam and a hole.
We got them.
Yeah.
He also came out on the board and was like mission accomplished.
I don't think it was, but it was, you know.
I got a funny story about that, but.
Yeah.
Do tell.
So.
So grandparents lived in Fort Stockton, Texas, middle of nowhere, West Texas, right?
So granddad, landman growing up, worked with George Bush back in the 80s, helped him buy some land.
So he knew him then.
George Bush, little George.
Little G-dubs.
So fast forward, hops on that boat, captain of the boat.
is from Fort Stockton, Texas.
How about that?
Going to use that next week?
George Bush.
George Bush lands on the boat
meets the captain.
He goes, where are you from?
He's like, on Fort Stockton.
He goes, do you know Delman Hodges?
And he's like, I do know Delman Hodges.
Mission accomplished.
That's actually what he was talking about.
That was what he was talking about.
All right.
Pretty cool story
I love it
That's good
That is good
But
I was saying
I was saying
I was saying it
But like
When you're talking about
Those two cats
In the backyard
I don't yet
About football
Like would you rather
Be the dumb cat
Who doesn't know
He's trapped
Or the cat
Who can't escape
I did not call him dumb
Low IQ
I didn't call him low IQ
I didn't call him low IQ
He said low IQ
No
I didn't
not jeff not high enough yeah i said i he has a IQ low enough to think that he's outside um
no i i don't know he's dumber than than this fur cat i i love them both per capita yes relatively
yeah per capita per capita intelligence i love both one of my things about my o g calhoun is
calhoun was a hunter i mean he would just ride in the truck go everywhere he'd kill birds
in the backyard here.
I remember right after
Diane and I got married,
he goes out one more
and just kills a bird
because I used to just leave
the back door up in front
and just hops on the bad
bloody bird
just drops it like six inches
and I'm like,
hell yeah, brother.
And I was like,
there's a dead bird in the bed
you're going to get bird flu.
So I say that he breaks his leg
fighting with an alley cat
as he should.
He's,
breaks his femur we put him on starting strength after surgery strength is femur but he can't jump
uh take him in south carolina south carolina we lived in an upstairs apartment but we had like a
courtyard downstairs courtyard the uh below us was an italian restaurant he had like a a little garden
with like a bunch of you know plants and during the summer when the weather was nice or in the fall
he would put tables out there and people go out there and eat and so i used to go and sit down there you know when he was
closed and the cat would just you know walk around i wouldn't walk out in the street and uh he comes
he the italian guy georgio comes in one day's hey how you doing good to see you
hey georgio what's going man your cat is really big uh he's he's not going to mess up the garden
no i'm like oh no no he's got broke his leg a few years ago he's a slow cat and like right
as i'm saying that calhoun just like launches and grabs a bird like out of
of this bush and kills it he's like he killed my bird you know like that's it wasn't your bird it's
god's bird but sure the bird is dead yeah you know so he's a hunter straight killer yeah if you ever
in greenville south carolina downtown go to georgio's georgio's italian cool spot cool spot it came over in
in 1986,
opened it in,
I think 1990,
open ever since.
Wow.
Good run.
Yeah, good run.
All right.
All right.
Should we start the show?
Foo's ball.
Let's start the show.
Let's start the show.
So everyone,
everyone that listen,
I think the preponderance
of the show is actually
glad that we're not just
pontificating football stats
the whole show.
Yeah.
Then there's a minority.
There was a guy in X today.
He was like,
he bought a shirt.
I saw a shirt order come through.
I'd post on X.
If you buy a Christmas shirt,
it comes with a note for me.
So today I was like writing all these notes
because Christmas shirts got done and people have pre-bought.
And I'm like shipping them out.
I'm like,
I'm under the gun.
UPS is going to show up.
UPS is going to show up.
And UPS shows up and he's like loading weights and he's loading shirts.
And I see an order come through.
And I'm like, ah, I'm like, hey, UPS guy, wait.
and I grab the shirt, I throw it in the bag, I tape it shut, throw a sticker and I don't write
him a note and I like toss it to the guy in the truck because I'm like, it's Christmas. He wants
the shirt, you know, before Christmas. I go back and I'm like, I realize that I know that name.
How do I know that name? And then I'm like settling down. I get on X and someone likes the Christmas
shirt post that I had done and it's the name of the guy so that I immediately tweet at him.
I'm like, hey, brother, this is your note. You didn't get it.
know because I got your thing out of day. He's a crew member. And he's like, hey, I can't wait
to listen to episode 87. I'm a week behind in the podcast. I've done all of my picks this year
based off your guys's recommendations. And I was like, okay. He also got second. I was like,
yeah. So we got Grant's mom. We got Mr. Campbell. And we got Scott from X that, you know,
us following.
Buildings and audience.
I love it.
That's what it is.
It's what it is.
Dang.
All right.
Let's get into the show.
Let's start the show.
All right.
And now it's time for Michigan's
blunders of the year.
That's how we always do it.
Yeah.
We've got to go chronological here.
Good for, good for one a year now lately.
But yeah, Michigan's coach, got the boo.
whoops
what a hot mass
ever since
Chedavian Clowney
rocked that running back
in 2010
Michigan has been
spiraling down
just the ripple effect
everyone just
they all have TBI
yeah
it's probably been
talked to at nauseam now
but yeah
what's your main
takeaway there
Trey
you know
as far as
first of all
what happened
terrible right
so I think
for people who don't know
Michigan coach
cheated on his wife
with one assistant, multiple assistants?
I don't know.
I think it was one assistant.
That's not good. A lot of drama happened there.
Yeah, a lot of drama happened there.
He had a mental breakdown.
Obviously, that set aside.
Hope he recovers from that.
But did not turn out well for him.
He got arrested.
And obviously let go from Michigan football coach.
That being said, I think, go ahead.
I think there's a little more to this guy.
So has an affair with the assistant gets her pregnant, allegedly, pays for an abortion, allegedly.
School finds out, wife finds, you know, all this.
Yeah, wife finds out he goes to silence the assistant and then says, you know, he's going to do self-harm and harm her.
All allegedly, all, you know, but there's, it was a lie.
So then he gets arrested.
So, like, you probably ruin your marriage.
You ruin your side piece.
You ruin your career.
Ah, Bobby Petrino came back.
You ruined your career.
And you get arrested all in, like, 24 hours.
Dude, the worst.
What did that signing class look like, huh?
What they look like?
Well, that's not they kept them on until signing class.
Yeah.
So I'm like, no.
I don't know.
As far as I, so I was texting a buddy I work with, and he's a big Michigan football fan.
And I go, outside of all the craziness that happened, I feel like Sharon Moore was an average football coach.
Like, I don't think he was good.
So I'm like, I'm like, you have the potential to, if anybody wants to step in that situation, to upgrade.
And so I think as far as a Michigan football, then get over the black eye that they got here, which,
I don't know.
I feel like a lot of programs
have had black guys.
So I feel like they can get over this one.
Oh, yeah.
I feel like they could hire a pretty good coach.
Come on.
Non-denominational churches get over this sort of thing.
I think a football program.
Yeah, true.
But I bet as Ohio State fans love seeing this whole thing.
Oh, they love it.
Yeah, they love to see it.
Yeah.
Well, I think what Moore had going,
inform is you beat ohio state three years in a row you know and i know they lost this year right
yeah they lost this year 13 10 yeah no no they yeah they lost oh how state beat them yeah um
it's something about beating the rival it'll make you some money give you some job security
it's true that's true yeah but i don't know i don't think he wasn't winning national
championship there i'll put that way yeah sure more wasn't
So I'll be curious who they end up.
I've heard they're throwing around like Alabama's coach.
I heard, I heard Lane Kiffin wanted to go.
No, I've got, yeah.
I heard, who's the, who's the big Washington fan?
Big Craig.
Craig, yeah.
Well, I heard they might be targeting Washington's coach.
I feel bad for Craig.
I feel bad for Washington.
They had that other good coach.
Alabama and, yeah.
Jetfish, yeah.
Do you think DeBore would leave?
Like, is the Michigan job an upgrade?
I don't know.
I think it's equal.
You just don't have the expectations of Nick Saban.
Shadows, yeah.
Exactly.
Like, Nick Saban, I didn't realize it's still working.
Like, he's on the staff as a consultant.
Yeah, it's kind of crazy.
Like in the building, a lot.
And you're like, oh.
oh hey coach yeah i don't so i don't know i i think alabama has more football lore maybe michigan's
like pretty great i'm also thinking like okay let's say you're a guy from washington state
you're married and you got like three kids and you can go to tuscaloosa or
Ann Arbor.
That's like six one way, half a dozen the other.
You think?
I don't know.
I think Ann Arbor is probably a nicer town.
Yeah.
I think I'd rather live.
Not that sweet.
I think I'd rather live in Michigan.
Well, I guess I haven't been at Tuscaloosa in a long time, but.
I don't think I haven't been to either of them.
So I can't really say anything.
Yeah, well, you're from this out.
You're from Texas.
which I feel like, I think people in this area would probably say Alabama's a better job,
but I think regionally up north, I would say Michigan's more highly.
That's kind of when I, like I, the South has a lot of appeal to me for certain things, right?
And if you're from the South, I'm saying, if you're looking at a coach, like,
removed from like both of those places, like, you know, coming from the West Coast or the East
Coast and like, anyway, yeah, it's a mood point.
They'll get who they get.
Yeah, I think they'll end up with somebody good, but we'll see.
Yeah. Not a great look.
Next slide.
This wasn't on the slide.
Hidden slide. Hidden slide.
Did Matt Campbell end up actually signing to be the coach at Penn State?
I had seen like every headline I saw originally was like,
they're agreed to terms, but no contract is signed.
And they're like, we're reporting this.
And it's like, okay, so he's not the coach yet.
but okay like we know when there actually is the coach but uh yeah i don't know good high
great hire i think he's i think it's a fantastic hire yeah i feel like he was on a lot of people's
like you know you know kind of up-and-coming hot names and then he kind of like i didn't hear his name
much or any like the SEC jobs or anything like that but um yeah i would say it was
the what losing this most most losses how ever you want to say that
program probably and I for sure in the big 12 maybe like in the nation yeah before he took over so he's like
turned it around with no resources so I think it was a really good hire yeah yeah agreed
all right well that's our coaching update um thanks for tuning in for that all right now on to our
uh service academy game update of the week army navy game great game what a what a game what a game
fun game to watch like i and i left we text texting with donnie bowers previous guest yeah
previous player previous player yeah and guest yeah it was uh man so much football uh it was phenomenal
it was it was it was it was yeah i mean it was yeah i mean it wanted just look sweet i saw there was a lot
of stuff. I guess Herb Street said something
like there's no football this weekend
because this game doesn't matter. I don't, I think he's
been taken out of context a lot. I don't think he says
like it doesn't matter. Like he's like an anti-service
guy. But I think he made
a comment there was no college football
this week. And so everyone's been
attacking him. And I'm sure he's got like some
things coming back. But I don't know.
I love that that game, it's the only
one. I love that it's like in that
lull between end of the season. And
playoffs is like shifting. Like there's
Jacksonville States playing right.
now. I mean, there's like a lot of like the schedule is a little bit different. But I love
that that games on a day of its own. I love that it brings out a lot of at least like I think
what we all see as people that have served. Like there's a lot of like Marines, Navy, whatever,
army, a bunch of people that are like cool dudes, but like not sports fans, right? Like there's like
people and there's like sports fans. There's people that say, hey, do you want to go to baseball?
game you're like yeah but like they have no idea like what the batting average is of the shortstop
or like you know that the Penske poles over in the corner like they don't like no like they're
not like sports fans and i feel like those people that usually like get invited to go to games
or watch games they get invited to a super bowl party they don't care like they come out of like
for the service member and like the extended family of that they kind of come out of the like
the woodwork for that game uh in terms of like my
My dad, not a sports fan, like wants to know who wins that game, right?
Like a lot of people that don't generally care about sports care.
I saw it was like 7.8 million, uh, watched Army Navy.
I think it's the most watched game, Army Navy, uh, what do you call that?
Viewership, viewership, uh, yeah, yeah, uh, 9.4 million highest since 1989.
Yep
Dang
We're on
1989
Yeah
Wow
Three of us
We're about one and two years old
Running around
We got three future Marines
Okay
Dang
Yeah
It was when there was like
There was like
Four channels in
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
No good game
No good game
Because army
Was Army up
at halftime
Oh, yeah, they were in the driver seat, big time.
Army was up.
Navy pitched a shut out in the second half.
You know, you had the best comment.
I was talking to BW. tax for the game on FaceTime.
And I'm like, man, I'm fired up for this game.
He's like, me too.
And so there's other people like that pick aside one because they know like Marine buddies,
but you got like BW, who's a Patriots fan because from acting mass,
therefore he's a Belichick fan, therefore he's a Navy fan,
because Belichick's dad coached Navy and like he likes Navy right on like on top of like other
reasons and he's like a studier of the Vier and I'm like yeah man I was like I actually think Navy
covers I think they're like a lot better team and he just goes he's army Navy games are always weird
and won by like one or two points Navy does not cover and uh good call right yeah great call
great call better you should have him call your taxes have him call your tax return oh imagine how
that comes out imagine how that works out
Oh, man.
All right. Army Navy.
Speaking of 1989 and it being wild,
let's just fast forward about three years in 1992
when old Steve Taney Hill comes in from the great state of Pennsylvania
as the rebel quarterback for the Gamecox,
rebel as in a rebel, not like an old Miss Rebel,
for the Gamecox with his long hair, ponytail.
It was such a big thing back in the day.
And you got to remember during his area, I'm like four, five, and six, seven, six, seven, something like that.
But, like, they, South Carolina would sell Gamecock hats with a ponytail, like sewn in.
So he comes in and he beats Clemson every year he's there.
He beats LSU and Death Valley.
So one of those things they would like to say is they never lost in Death Valley.
And he would say Clemson or LSU.
And he takes South Carolina.
So they go to the ACE, they go from the ACC to the SEC to the SEC.
in 1990, 89, 90.
And he takes into their first ever bowl game,
the Car Quest Bowl, and wins.
He still has the most touchdown passes of 62 as a...
Who is coaching then?
Sparks.
Sparks.
Hang on.
Gamecock, coach, Taney Hill.
I think it's Sparks. I think I'm saying this right.
of course doesn't tell me that quick game cat coach during tanny hill summary summary got
in summary brad scott brad scott replacing sparky woods that's what's saying brad scott
you woods okay yeah yeah sparky woods and brad scott each had a little bit anyway um he also
beat clemson there and went and signed the paw and then he signed the paw kind of like you know
when people do stuff for the logo these days,
but now it's been done so many times,
but I think back then it was a big deal.
So he signed the Paul,
you know, like went up and there's just photo of him,
like with his hands out stretched,
like up in the sky.
So you then fast forward,
I go to my first game in 1998,
and, you know,
Lou Holtz comes down to it,
but everyone's like,
oh, Steve Taney Hill when Taney who was here,
when Taney, who was here.
So I got just always knew the name.
Then you listen to Gamecock Radio
and all this of stuff,
and you hear him come on.
High school football coach,
Just over the border.
Yep, there he is.
Number 18.
1.8.
Just over the border in North Carolina, right on the border.
In six years, he won four state championships.
Legend, anyway, died of cancer, 52.
I don't know all the details.
Some people knew he was sick.
Apparently kept it close to himself.
But Gamecock legend.
Gamecock fan here.
Had to shout out, my boy, Steve Tanny Hill.
I'm hoping we just go all throw.
back jerseys next year like 19 i just hope it's i hope we got full backs and horse collars and
like everyone has ponytail everyone has ponytails yep go we just throw it back for steve oh yes dude
those throwbacks would be so sick that'd be that's cool that's cool yeah it's good tribute
rest in power rest yeah steve danny hill all right all right well speaking uh uh uh
of legendary players.
Now, I'm talking about modern day legendary players.
So the Heisman ceremony,
well, Mendoza from Indiana,
taking home the first Heisman trophy
for the Indiana Hoosiers.
Big deal.
He posted it on his LinkedIn.
He's very proud of that.
I did see that.
I didn't see much Heisman stuff.
I mean, I knew he won it,
but I did see the LinkedIn one.
I thought that was so good.
Hey, good on them.
I didn't then see a lot of Diego Pavia backlash to his whole reaction to it.
To fair, he probably shouldn't want it.
What was his, so I didn't watch the ceremony.
I mean, obviously I watched football this year, but did he, I know he's a walking bottle of
axe body spray, but did he do something like bad at the event?
He sent out, he did some.
I don't know if he sent out a message or, like, I don't know what he did, but he essentially said, in short, in layman's term, screw the Heisman voters.
Like, I should have won essentially.
And more colorful language.
Yeah.
And then I think he turned around and had like an AI apology afterwards, but.
It was definitely an AI apology.
But, yeah, man, I don't know.
Wait, do you think Mendoza, you think he should have won it?
I think Jeremiah Love should have won it, really.
Actually, yeah, I could see that.
I don't think, I think Mendoza.
I think he, Mendoza fell into the like, okay,
recency.
Best team in the nation, their quarterback had a good year.
But like, did he, I don't, I don't think I've seen one clip of Indiana football this whole season.
There's so much.
Besides a Penn State game, yeah.
There's so much of the Heisman that has put on as like,
and what is your team accomplishing,
which I'm not necessarily saying it's bad.
But there is a lot of like,
yeah, I don't know.
You want to win the Heisman?
Well,
you need to be so good
that your team made it all the way.
I think, right?
Not necessarily all the way to the national championship,
but like you're in the hunt, right?
Like I think.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I don't actually know if I agree with that.
But I think,
yeah,
I mean, Gamecox really have won,
George Rogers.
and that was a good team for us, Levin.
And the only exception to that is, who's the old Baylor quarterback, RG3?
Yeah.
RG3.
And then, I feel like they win like 9 and 3, 10 and 2 or something like that.
And he won the Heisman, just because he had a really great year.
What was Colorado's record last year with?
Yeah, that's true.
Yeah, what's his name?
Should do.
And he was a hype, he was like on the Dion Sanders, like, marketing hype train.
it's like he was oh yeah for sure
Travis Hunter
Travis Hunter
but was he
yeah
was I think he did have
some good receiving numbers
yeah he played both ways
that wasn't that the thing with him
was they played both ways
yeah yeah which is
it is so rare
that are like all right
I guess I could see it
but I don't think
yeah imagine like
imagine like given an order
and also having to execute it Jeff
imagine playing both ways
like you're an officer
and enlisted
that's good but my thing on pavia was just like that alabama game like he had crucial
turnovers and i think that's i do think as like a quarterback like you got a if you're going to win
the he's been like you can't like cost your team some big win like if he had gone in and won that
alabama game like that would have been like all right get this guy the trophy fair enough i don't know
my thought process is like he he has brought single-handedly brought vanderbilt to prominence
that's true they were they were like nothing before he came and like part of it's the coach sure
like i think they got a great coach but yeah he's it's like it's very much reminded me of like
johnny manzellate a and him okay i could see that's kind of like that's how i equal
equal levels of kind of like yeah antics i was going to call it douchebaggery but
Sure, yeah.
That's a dude's better.
It might be more accurate term, yeah.
And I am, I am biased against Diego Pavia for beating Auburn when he was at New Mexico State and then also at Vanderbilt.
So, yeah, I'm definitely biased against him.
So I will admit to that.
But Jordan Love, yeah, you can make an argument for Jordan Love too.
Isn't his mom like dating Theo Vaughn or something?
I think he.
Maybe not openly, but I don't know.
it was like some something like
yeah if you beat so and so
South Carolina it was in South Carolina game
yeah you got to like set me up with your mom or something like that
and I don't know if it actually happened
yeah
anyway but I knew
Jordan Love I knew Jordan Love wasn't going to win
when who was the Boise State running back
Ash and Genti when he didn't win I'm like yeah
yeah it's almost impossible to run back to win
it's jeremiah love yeah oh excuse me okay shows respect jordan love green bay quarterback yeah
hey he can win the he's been not to be confused jalen hurts
all right we get some picks to do we do we do got some picks up but it's our oh oh not so fast
not so fast not so fast i got pretty fired up about philip rivers did you guys not get
fired up about Philip Rivers.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Sorry, I skipped the topic.
Oh, that's not where you thought I was going.
I didn't know where you're going.
I didn't know where you're going.
Okay.
But yeah, Philip Rivers.
What a story.
So I like saw, okay, one.
I thought the headline was a joke at first.
I thought I was like, oh, it's the thing.
Thought the headline was.
So I've loosely paid attention.
Fill me in.
Okay, I'll fill you in.
So I thought the headline was a joke.
It was like Colts quarterback gets injured.
They got nobody left.
They're looking to get Philip Rivers in.
who hasn't played since 2020.
It's like some thousands of days
or thousand something days that he hasn't
plays five years.
Colts are having a great year.
Yeah, Colts have a great year.
They got that woman that's,
is she the president?
She's not the coach,
but like she's on the ground.
She's like calling plays.
Kind of interesting.
Maybe she's the owner.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's interesting.
It's interesting.
She looks kind of like Christy know.
Yeah, it's interesting.
In any event,
they're like having a great year.
Playoffs, like,
like they can do it like we don't have a quarterback and so somehow they're like
philip rivers so philip rivers headline comes out like philip rivers play quarterback
hasn't played of five years i thought i was joke then i see him get signed and they're like
interview and i'm like oh yeah they signed him he's going to be like a backup to someone else
like he's not actually going to play it's going to mentor yeah it gets announced that he's going to
play and i'm like oh man that's kind of crazy and then i'm
So I know about Philip Rivers because he's a Southern boy who went to NC State.
I remember watching him in NC State.
Gamecox playing while he was there.
And then he was at LA Chargers all the time Jeff and I lived out here and you.
And it was just like Philip Rivers puts a really good game together.
And then like loses at the end with a pick.
Like, you know, can never quite like finish it.
Great guy like won't curse as dad gum like in all his post game interviews has a bunch of kids.
He's like 40 kids.
10.
Didn't realize it's not 10.
And so like by the time Sunday morning comes around, I'm looking to go to Christmas church.
And I'm like waking up.
I'm hanging out with the baby.
Dee's getting ready.
And I'm like, Philip Rivers is going to start this football game.
He's 44 years old.
He hasn't played in five years.
He has 10 kids.
He's a grandfather.
Like his youngest three kids were not alive while he was praying football.
Like, go Colts.
Like I am pumped for this.
And so then the pre-
game stuff starts coming out and he looks exactly like a 44 year old father of 10 would look he's got
like an oversized you know whatever kind of shirt on you can see his belly like he looks soft
his arms are small like it doesn't look bad but he just 100% looks like a 44 year old dad and so i
just start like tweeting about it i'm just like grabbing photos of them i'm like you guys don't
this, but Philip Rivers has been running starting strength in his garage with
Strenco plates the last five years.
Like, you guys don't know this, but this is what, and this is like all pregame.
I just start like going and it starts like picking up steam throughout the day.
And then like by the time the game starts, I'm fired up.
I'm like, I cannot wait for this game.
He like comes out in his first pass is like so ugly.
I mean, he has an ugly throw anyway, but it's like so ugly.
The ball's like end over in.
It's a little short guy dives back and catches it.
And it's like, it's good.
And all of his passes are like six yards, eight yards.
He did throw one bomb down the field and the guy lost it in the lights or in something
and didn't catch it, which was sad because people that have picked him apart.
It been like, yeah, he went 18 for 24 with, you know, the average completion of seven yards.
Anyway, he's going.
I'll read this tweet, post, formerly Twitter, because it was funny.
It was good to have one take off, hadn't been in a while.
Grant SSC, I have been ranting in football games post-deployment.
I just put all caps.
All these 38-year-old dads telling me they can't deadlift 225 because of herniated disc
and Philip Rivers over here playing football at 44.
And that just like went, I don't know, it's at 15,000 views like 600, like it was just going crazy.
And the comments were like going crazy.
So then I'm just like I got like, Phil, you got to win this game, man.
Like this is like you're an American hero right now.
Like, you have to win the game.
So he's down by, it was down by Jeff, two, one.
It doesn't matter.
Don't make me do math.
He drives down.
There's a minute left.
His guy kicks a 60-yarder, longest ever field goal of his career.
And they're up by one with 58 seconds, a minute two, whatever it is, something around
there.
and the Colts defense cannot hold
and Seattle comes back
and with two seconds left
kicks a game winner and he loses.
No, no, no. Kicks it.
Kicks it. There's like 11 seconds left.
Rivers gets the ball.
Throws a completion of the sideline.
There's like kind of a really weird low chance.
There's another one. It gets tipped and picked off.
And that's what the internet ran with.
It's been five years and it's another Sunday
where the Philip Rivers team
loses because he throws a thick.
Like, oh, come on.
But it was good. It was fun.
I'm excited.
Monday night against San Francisco.
I'm pulling for them.
Yeah.
10 kids, man.
Yeah.
It's like leave your wife alone at that point.
Yeah, I mean, give her a break.
Yeah.
She's pregnant all the time for a decade.
Yeah.
For a decade.
Speaking of wives, I saw, I go to that Christmas
church. I watched the pregame, go to the church musical, and then I'm going to come watch
the game, walking to church at the buzzer. I'm coming in. Matt Lowen's there, listening to the
podcast with his wife. They're sitting up front. I see the wife. She waves me. I'm like, I guess
we're doing it, go all the way to the front, literally in front of the pulpit. It's like clock
striking 11. Preacher's like, good morning. Compass Church. I'm right in front of the
pulpit coming down the other aisle to like hit me by the pulpit to both make a ride as mad i'm like
dude what's up and like give him a hug he's like are you like trying to cancel church to say hello to me
right now i was like oh yeah keep going pastor i mean obviously i didn't say that but just my time of mind
go sit down uh baby goes crazy not crazy but we got to leave go to the family room we do some
different stuff meets the people we get we should talk church
as like parents of a toddler because it's a completely different experience we can talk about
some other time we get a lot of things to talk about today in any event i leave he texts me later
that night he's like hey man you coming over for christmas my wife has a lot of beef with you about
flatware and i'm like so you get it i'm like flatware like oh what is that like shoes like i'm like
yeah and he's like silverware i'm like oh and i look at my wife and i'm like he's she's like the
podcast because tray brought up the silverware and i said
Well, yeah, how could she have any beef with me?
I said that Abby's right.
I said that the woman in the kitchen is always right.
Like, how could she possibly think I'm, I was wrong?
I literally said whatever the woman says, she's right.
But anyway, I don't know.
Okay.
If Samantha Lohen has some issues, she's, she got my number.
Yeah, but so now we have.
So now we have football fans, my mother, Mr. Campbell, and people in wives that are
washing dishes that listens to the podcast.
We may have some real
listeners, guys.
I don't know.
I don't know the Spotify wrap.
The Spotify rap numbers
with you, but.
Silver word down.
He's out.
That's our philosophy.
Yeah.
Make a T-shirt.
And make French toast eggnog.
Egg-knot French toast.
All right.
Next topic.
Well, I think we've come to the
granddaddy of them all.
college football playoff
first round
coming up
what starts on the 19
starts Friday
Friday
Saturday Sunday
Sunday
here we go
first of all
I'm I'm upset
because the A&M game
is at 11 a year
I wish I was a night game
because the NFL
they can't compete
with the
gotta go around the NFL schedule
11 a.m. Eastern
this Sunday
12
Eastern. 12 Eastern
this Sunday. What's on Saturday?
Central. A Saturday.
Yeah, there's
apparently there's NFL games Saturday.
Oh, the NFL can't take Saturdays.
Yeah, come on NFL.
Oh, come on NFL.
Come on. I'm sorry. I digress.
We're on Friday.
Okay.
First game with a first round.
And now it's time for
Trey.
Picks in the week.
We've always done it.
I don't know how I should sing in the choir.
That's a good one.
That was pretty good.
Put some reverb on it,
Jordy,
make it sound cool.
Brought you by Dunkin' Donuts.
Yeah.
You know.
Have a little Dunkin go across.
Yeah.
He used to do that.
I don't know if he still does.
You just saw me.
posted he just did it last week oh yeah do you follow the okay podcast constantly out get every
update he said a pretty mean message just it was like i did the reverb i did duckin and i put an
l on tray's head he's like you guys don't watch your own youtube videos i was like that's the actual
no i lived it i don't need to watch it i lived it all right all right all right all right well
Trey, you want to run us to the games?
All right, first one.
What times is the OU, Alabama?
That's the one that kicks it off.
Showing 6 p.m., but I think my phone might be showing me a mountain standard time.
Yeah, 6.
So it would be 7 p.m. here.
Okay, yeah, it sounds right.
So Friday night, Friday night game in Norman, Oklahoma.
We have Alabama, who is a 10-seat?
No.
Nine-seed.
This is 9-6-7.
Nine seed, playing the eight-seed, Oklahoma Sooners.
Rematch before Oklahoma won the first one.
Very low-scoring game, I feel like it was like 16 to 13.
Very defensive struggle.
Not a lot of offense.
So it should be exciting.
Alabama getting some people back and some,
I think one of their O-Wines coming back and their tight-ins coming back.
So they got some players come back, so we'll see.
so that being said
Grant
who do you have in this one
man
I don't know
I picked Alabama
what was last week
I just said they're like a winning
team
I think this is the toughest
of the first round
definitely
what's the spread
as far as who to pick
I feel like Bama was a
minus a point and a half
yeah
it's in Norman
it's in Norman
man
minus point in a half money land
doesn't do much
over under 40
goodness gracious
boomer sooner
boomer sooner
ooh
It's tough.
Jeff, what do you got?
This is a tough game to pick.
Because, yeah, we're kind of talking a little bit.
Alabama's offense is struggling right now.
I can't run the ball.
But I also think it's really difficult to beat the same team twice in the same season in the SEC.
I got to, I'm going to Alabama.
Roll tide, hold them up tight against the wall.
Like a little loving.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
But I don't love that pick.
I don't love that pick.
I would say,
Jeff, make a note.
I am going,
oh, you,
boomer sooner,
and I would bet the under on that one.
I think it's to be a little scoring game.
Boomer sooner.
Boomer sooner.
I like it.
All right,
we'll save the big,
we'll save the big one for last.
All right,
All right, all right.
So we obviously know these next two ones, like, who's going to win these?
Okay.
Which, I don't know.
I think it's Ole Miss versus Tulane.
And then we have Oregon versus James Madison.
Oh, obviously, Tulane and James Madison steamroll both of those teams.
Obviously.
It would be crazy.
Is there any turmoil in Old Miss that they can't lock in for this game?
like no lane kiffin well the two link coaches leaving too is he is he coaching they've their own
he is coaching but they have their own it's actually he had a really cool story so he left and
then he donated personally a hundred thousand dollars to their nil fund you know who doesn't
have niles the army navy game knows best game this year army navy game they
technically have NILs.
Yeah, it's called the government subsidies.
Yeah, they get paid every month.
Um, well, I
Yeah, I think Ole Miss wins, think Oregon wins.
I think Oregon wins.
Would you?
I'd like to see James Madison win.
Would you keep this?
Ideally, real quick, 12-team playoff,
would you like to have these teams taken out?
like giving an argument for keeping the man I guess so I think in order to keep a man you know
it's 64 teams in CAA tournament why is that okay because like some of these guys go on a run
everyone's seen it everyone knows it's possible and it's like hey if I just make the thing
even if I'm the small school that no one's heard of I can go in the natty and that's like
what makes college basketball fun.
It's a different sport.
Like, I'm with you on that.
It's a different game, obviously.
Like, I mean, but I think, like, we, what is this year four, five of this, four?
What I was for you?
Year two of the 12th team.
Yeah.
But what did we say?
The BCS is a while ago now.
I mean, I think, yeah.
I think very soon one of these smaller schools has to win it.
Not that that means it's this year or make it, right?
But, like, if they just get knocked out in the first round,
then I'm just like, okay, why are we doing this?
But if someone wins it, and even if it's every five years,
like every five years, a James Madison's coming in
and, like, taking down Ohio State and Texas A&M and whatever.
Whoever, yeah.
Okay.
Keep them in.
Yeah.
But, I mean, right now, I don't think that's going to happen.
I don't either.
Yeah, like, I look at it now to much rather love.
to see like old miss playing
Notre Dame or Ole Miss playing
Notre Dame of course you went Notre Dame
in who have Vanderbilt
I can't who else was on the outside
BYU you know just a better matchup
in my opinion but
yeah I digress but
we'll see all right let's get to the last
one so those are both
Saturday afternoon
Saturday evening so Saturday morning
11 a.m. Central
9 a.m.
France time.
Ooh, love it.
We have number seven, Texas A&M hosting Miami, the U, number 10.
Coming to College Station.
I feel A&M right now is minus three and a half.
All right, Jeff, I'll let you go first.
Oh, I'm going Texas A&M.
100%.
You feel confident in that?
Yeah.
I think Carson. Carson Beck's going to throw two interceptions. He's not going to know what to do. He's admitted a lot of pressure. And I think they're going to, I think Marcel Reed's going to have a great game. I think he's going to show some people that maybe he should have been invited to the Heisman ceremony. Okay, who could? So I like a little chip on his shoulder.
Adam. He's a hired Jeff. He's a PR guy.
what do you think?
I think that
we're going to beat the hell out of the
you. We're number one second to none.
S-P-I-R-I-T. Our team is dynamite.
Let's put some boom on it. Farmers fight.
Whoop, whoop, whoop.
I think the Aggies beat.
I think this is their, I think it's,
tough for them after this
but I think you got this game. Oh 100%
yeah and this is this is a tough game
tough matchup. I think it's gonna be good
I think it's gonna be a good game but
yeah I A&M has
Levi-a-Moss come back
running start running
back so that's good everyone's
apparently healthy
so all the receivers are 100%
so that concept's young
I'm leaning on I hate
pick my own team
because I feel like it's bad ju-ju but I think
A&M should win this
I think of this W. I agree.
Jeff, take a photo of the podcast
real quick since I'm on my phone and throw it up
on the story later.
Oh,
Farmers fight.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
I think the Aggies win.
I think the Aggies cover.
Three and a half?
Yeah, I hope so.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's tough.
It is.
Three and a half is tough.
True.
Yeah.
That's tough.
It's tough.
It's tough to against tall grass.
Yeah.
You went by three and a half.
Probably won by a touchdown.
True.
Yeah.
No, it's a tough road because then they go to,
then it's the Cotton Bowl against Ohio State and most likely Georgia.
So it's a tough road to get there, but we'll see.
Tough.
We shall see.
Just happy to be there, man.
Just happy to be there.
A lot of football.
A lot of football.
football.
Well, a lot of football left.
Is there a lot of podcasts left, Jeff?
A lot of podcasts.
Speaking of football, obviously, everyone's tuning in so they can hear the update about
the game after it's already over.
If you were looking for Jacksonville State has defeated Troy 17 to 13,
which you probably were already aware of.
Bar burner.
Maybe you weren't.
Maybe you weren't.
I don't know.
that was the salute the veteran salute to veterans bowl uh so i just want to say salute all veterans
and standards not case that's one of your general orders is to salute all veterans so make sure
you salute them it's one of your general orders to all people so yep yeah good stuff that concludes
the brief depending on uh save round alibis oh you got to save round oh you got to save
I got one, yeah.
A&M volleyball has been on a heater.
They played, they played against Thursday.
The other day.
Yeah, they beat Nebraska.
Nebraska's good.
Nebraska was undefeated.
And then they, I don't know.
It was a crazy game.
I've been really in volleyball here recently.
They were, they'd be pit before that.
They were down two sets to none, came back and swept them.
They reverse sweep.
So now they play.
No, I'm sorry.
Louisville. They played Pitt on Thursday.
So they beat Pitt and they go national championship.
So. Wow.
Okay.
Exciting.
Okay.
Citadel basketball.
Okay.
Is nine out of ten in the Socon.
They're three and eight and they haven't won a single away game,
but they're three and three at home.
And I feel like things are going to turn around.
Ah.
Hey, about a player.
Called to Charleston tomorrow 4 o'clock.
Can't wait.
As long as you beat your rivals,
you keep the job, you feel me?
Oh, do you.
Mm.
Mm.
But that's all I got.
So I want to say, Brown, I got.
Very well.
Yeah, great episode.
A little out of order, a little long.
Got the child talking.
Getting our route.
We head back to our roots,
not talking about lifting at all.
zero lifting talk
I worry about listeners like
Caleb Gottlach it's like hey so
you like sports did you not listen
I hate sports why do you listen to his podcast
could you guys talk about lifting
oh right
yeah
that
go lift
go lift he would appreciate the
chow talk
oh you think he made it this long
child talk was early
the chow talk was early
yeah he he definitely listened to chow talk
but you think he made it this long
no he is we talk about sports
he turned it off probably but what if he saw
on the show notes we were about talking about lifting
he might
who would fast forward to that
oh he's not going to go through I want to
got it's dedicated I don't want to reserve us
I don't want just honor and courage I want honor
courage and commitment
okay oh you know
sometimes two out of three
I'll say a quick little hack I've been doing for lifting.
I've come back from deployment, taking back over my small business, trying to meet my daughter,
trying to spend time with my wife, not to mention it's Christmas season.
Someone's always inviting you something.
We got Strancokech Christmas party over here.
We got this thing over there.
We're riding Santa's railroad track over there.
And so time is of the essence.
You think when you get back, you have all this time to work out.
It's actually been short on time, but try not to miss.
So we can go in three days a week and run in one day a week.
It's what I've kept up.
And I've been trying to keep my workouts to under 60 minutes because this,
time of the year, it's like, hey, I want to spend time with the family and the people that I care
about. And so one of the ways I've been doing that is two lifts, well, two and a half lifts per
day, focus on 60 minutes. And the way that I do the squat is I just do ascending five by
fives and then descending. So I count everything. So I'll go in and I'll do the empty bar, two sets of
five. And then I'll go to 135 for a set of five. And give me an example to tell you a Taylor in a
second, and then I go to maybe 225 for a set of five, 275 for a set of five, 315 for a set of
five, and then 365 for a set of five. Excuse me. So I'm working up and there's about three really
work sets on the way up. I would say that 275, 315, and 365 are like somewhat stressful. Everything
before 275 is really light enough that I'm just kind of warming it up. So I'll do 365 and then
I'll come back down and I'll do 315 and then 275 again. So in total, I get two sets at
275, two sets at 315 and one top set at 365 for a total of five by five, kind of what
you're used to in the squats, but done it away that I don't have to rest as long. So between
275 and 315 and 315, I can probably wait about two minutes. Between 315, 365, I can
probably wait three, three and a half after 365, probably need close to four minutes. But
my whole squat routine can take about 30 minutes to knock it out and I get some overall good
tonnage and in a way that I could do it efficiently. Am I going to get stronger in this? Am I going to
make my 500 pound squat tick up? No. What I am going to do is not be a fat slob and I'm going to get
to the gym and I'm put some work in and I'm not going to get out of a routine so that when it is
time to train hard that I can't have success. So that's how I kind of do with the squat and then
I'll go into one of the pressing movements with the pressing movements right now for the press
with a bench of doing one of those on each of the days I'm just doing five by five at a weight
that's like relatively hard so for me on the press it's been somewhere between 185 and 200 pounds
if I'm feeling pretty good it might be closer to 200 if I'm in a rush I need to do 90 seconds of
rest I might just stay at 185 and for the bench you know it's somewhere in the upper twos mid
upper twos so that's kind of how I managed that and then I finish with chin ups if I squatted
and then on the inverse days, I'll do a deadlift.
So I'll come in instead of squatting, I'll warm up a deadlift,
I'll pull the top set of five.
Let's say I pull, I don't know,
$4.55 for five.
Then I'll take some weight off and I'll go down to like $400 and pull two sets of five.
So I get three total work sets on the deadlift,
and then I'll go into whatever pressing exercise didn't do.
And then I'll finish with chin-ups or something like that.
Is it the greatest thing?
No, but for this time of year when you're busy,
when you're running out of time,
we don't have a lot of time or you don't want to spend a bunch of time in the gym.
It's a way to keep the needle moving.
It's a way to keep yourself in the gym in doing stuff.
And so I gave you my numbers.
I may be stronger than you.
I may be weaker than you.
But the idea is that let's say for the squat, for example,
what is something that is a challenging three sets of five workout for you?
And it might be 235.
It's like, hey, I know I could go in today and do $2.35 for three sets of five.
But in order to accomplish that, I would need four to six minutes rest in between each set at $2.35.
Well, now what you're going to do is just say, hey, I'm only going to do one set at what I know I could do three by five for, $2.35.
And then I'm going to equally jump up to it and then back down for a couple sets.
so I get like this pyramid of five work sets in the middle.
And so you got to do your own math a little bit and figure out like,
okay, if 235 is the top, maybe that's 45, 265, 95 for a set of five,
135 for a set of five, let's call 185, the first work set of five, then 205, then 205, then 205,
then 185, something like that.
And so just kind of figuring out your own math and then similarly, similarly on the deadlift,
hit a top set of five, take some weight off and hit two more sets of five. And you're pressing
your bench. Don't stress it. Again, you're going to look like Dr. Mike by, you know, bench pressing
255 for five sets of five. No, but if you keep some type of baseline in your life at a busy time of
your life, then when it's time to hit the weights hard, you'll be fine and you'll not be looking
up Grant. What do I do if I haven't been to the gym for three months? And instead, you've just
like kept the thing rolling. Hope this video helps if you do. If you like it, like and subscribe.

Oh, you blow through it.
It's like, oh, man, I'm like,
it was a noisy Christmas night when Jesus came to Earth.
I bet the goats all bleated, and then
the shepherds were even worse.
You know, it's like a...
I just read that book.
Oh, the noisy night?
Mm-hmm.
Great night. Yeah.
So we should all make noises like animals.
No, we wouldn't do that.
We're people.
We should use our words and spread the love of Jesus.
I feel like another saved around
is you and Jeff are starting to kick shows soon, I think, right?
