The Okay Podcast Powered by The Strength Co. - EP 90: Carnivore, Gov’t Tortillas & College Football Playoffs

Episode Date: January 2, 2026

College football is officially unhinged — and we’re here for it. In this episode, Grant Broggi, Jeff Buege, and Tres Gottlich break down the chaos of bowl season, the viral Pop-Tarts Bowl, and why the modern transfer portal is quietly tearing apart team culture, loyalty, and long-term program stability. From Auburn’s mass exodus and Notre Dame bowl drama to SEC vs Big Ten draft pipelines, fantasy football laughs, and a surprisingly heartfelt Philip Rivers comeback storyline, this conversation hits everything that makes today’s football landscape both wildly entertaining and deeply broken.Podcast Hosts:Grant Broggi: Marine Veteran, Owner of The Strength Co. and Starting Strength Coach.Jeff Buege: Marine Veteran, Outdoorsman, Football Fan and LifterTres Gottlich: Marine Veteran, Texan, Fisherman, Crazy College Football Fan and LifterJoin the Slack and Use code OKAY:https://buy.stripe.com/dR6dT4aDcfuBdyw5ksCheck out BW Tax: https://www.bwtaxllc.comBUY A FOOTBALL HELMET: https://www.greengridiron.com/?ref=thestrengthcoTimestamps: 00:00 - Intro07:29 - Staff Brief14:30 - Outlying Stations23:52 - Unboxing Barbells26:51 - New Year’s Carnivore Challenge35:16 - California Government Tortillas45:41 - College Football Madness01:03:07 - Tres’ Picks of The Week01:18:43 - Phil Rivers Update01:25:54 - Tres’ Lifting Update01:30:28 - Christmas Trash01:33:06 - Space Jam01:36:07 - Sign Off

all right and welcome back to episode zero nine zero of the okay okay okay okay so back in this now podcast powered by the stranko i'm your host grant brogie we are recording live in studio on the interwebs uh i'm coming to you live out of costa mesa california south california as we call it i only live in areas that start with South because I'm from the South. Price of Bitcoin is $88,360 and $39. Stefan Diggs is in some trouble. Philip Rivers is headed back to the couch. And Mr. Jeff Bouget, Biggie, is joining us from the Greater Salt Lake City area.

He's in a non-drilling status right now. That's good. I'm also in a non-drilling status. So we can't really let it loose this week. If you got something on your chest that you just, just want to get it out there, stick it to the man, talk about fat generals or whatever it is. Today is the day. We are reservists.

We are all honor and courage. We are no commitment. And we can just let it. We can just let it rip if we want to. Also join us in studio, Mr. Trey Gottlach, the best four, 511 has ever seen would take him back with open arms. And, you know, if Philip Rivers did anything, what he did was make me believe that Trey Gottlitch, once he has seven more kids, could potentially come out of retirement and

rejoin the Marine Corps. I mean, Dakota Meyer did it. So I don't see why Mr. Gottlach can't do it. He's joining us from, from my doing the random word thing again. Let's see. Chesapeake, Texas. Oh, there's got to be a Chesapeake, Texas.

It's got to be. Come on. Chesapeake. Ooh, that's, I don't know. Let's see. There's a Chesapee Texas Roadhouse. Okay. That's what you were referring to.

That's two. You were saying trays coming from the Texas Roadhouse. Texas Roadhouse. Chesapeake Bay is a 55 and above retirement home in Seabrook, Texas. So technically I'm not wrong. Yeah, that's soon. We're coming up on that.

We are coming up on that. Lots of fun things. Talk about today. Lots of sports. Now you know we're all from. Now you know our background. What status we're in? What else do I do on this opening round?

What we talk about stuff? This podcast is powered by the Strength Co. Strenko's got a lot of stuff coming on right now. it's the new year so it's you know everyone's going to get the rush everyone wants to get fit we do have some fun things if you're hearing this it's friday january the second in the year of our lord 2026 that means that we're recording in the year of our lord 2025 which means you'll be one day into the new year and you're probably looking at your christmas belly feeling your christmas body and just like hey i want to do something different but i already missed it i'm now just

hearing this on the second it's not too late join the Slack channel use the code okay link in the show notes below on YouTube overcast Spotify wherever you listen use code okay is $10 off and get in there 19 bucks a month you have access to five starting strength coaches a community of over 200 lifters that like to talk about sports that talk about food and we do a couple challenges in January one of them is the 10,000 steps a day challenge which sounds like oh anybody could do that that's so easy and I tell people hey if you complete it and put the proof in the pudding which is

in your garment or your stravita or whatever you're using and you can prove that you did 10,000 steps today, I'll give you a $25 gift card to the Strength Co. So really, if you're not a member right now, you could join for $19. If you think it's so easy, you essentially make $6, not to mention all the fun time that you'd have over the month, not to mention the amount of moving you'd do, or maybe I'm right. And I know the kind of gamble I'm making and I don't believe in you. So come prove me wrong. Join the Slack channel. Hop in the 10,000 steps group. Just get in there and say, hey, I'm here to walk. And then we also got a carnivore group going on. We got 11 people signed up and go carnivore for the month of January. I go carnivore. I say every January because I've done it

enough now that I feel like it's true. But in reality, that's not true at all. I did it two January's in a row. And then last year, I activated. Well, I didn't. My buddy did. So I did not do carnivore by any means. I did like the antithesis of carnivore. at SLTE. But I'm going carnivore again. This will be the fourth, fifth time that I've done 30 days or more. The longest I've gone is 90 days. So basically it's like a support group for people, you know, they get all gung-ho and they start crapping their pants or they feel dehydrated or they're falling sleep in the middle of the day. And we give them some tidbits on what to do. Why do I like carnivore? I like elimination diets because when you do an elimination diet, it eliminates a lot of

crap that's in your body. And it also is kind of unforgiving. So if you're doing carnivore, it's kind of a rough transition in then you start to feel great but if you cheat and when I say cheat I don't mean like cheat meal go eat pizza and ice cream although that would derail things but I mean is when you leave ketosis the zero carb stuff like you feel terrible and so I've actually found it to be kind of like a good elimination diet to remove a lot of excess and waste from your diet that's very easy to follow the rules are very simple and everyone seems to have some good results and yes you can lift on carnivore we get some videos on that not trying to make a youtube video right now i just uh if you want to come in try something new this year come

us it's okay if you start late i'm actually starting my carnivore journey on the third i'm doing that just for you the listener in case you're hearing it day on the second you still want to come in uh but you got to start by the fifth and you got to do 30 days uh that's for the 10 day challenge and for uh the carnivore challenge so those two things are happening in the Strenko. This podcast is all just so brought to you by BW. Tax. I've talked about BW. Tax for maybe, I don't know, the last 15, 20 episodes, just me off the cuff, off the rip. And we had a listener, chimed him on Spotify. And he said, hey, where are the ad reads? What happened to the ad reads? So I'm going to shut up. And, uh, Trey, let it rip.

What I like about BW. Tax, you just call the guy. He answers the phone. Gives you great customer service right off the writ. He can do your taxes anywhere in the country. Why not go with it? Why not go out? Oh, one of the best ones. He's from the South. We got to talk about fishing.

Just hearing that guy's voice makes me want to go fishing. BW. Tax, we will do our other sponsor later on. I also got a question is, is Mr. Helman a real sponsor? I said, what do you think this is? What do you think it's a Fisher Price podcast? We're experts over here. no we're not giving free shout out right yeah right uh mr helmet is indeed real we'll talk about him later uh with that think i've done my opening rant i'll turn it over to the three oh thank

goodness uh uh bear with me here gentlemen so a lot of folks out on uh the leave block um so this is the S4 Zulu filling in don't don't don't yeah don't know how to to run teams haven't figured out the difference between the share drive, the share point and then in teams folders

so I don't know where the slide deck is but then I was just told to just kick it over to the one do we have anyone from the admin shop the chair's literally empty there's just no one there yeah they must have extended their leave block oh okay uh i'm sure that got approved through proper channels um they also haven't taught me how to put in leave um so you know even yeah so uh the two is there a two uh yes sir you get it tray you get it this is uh

Lance Corporal Smith again I am uh I got in trouble I was drinking in the dorm so I had to stay home the dorm tray dorm it's a brick oh you see these are barracks

oh my bad oh shoot my bad it was supposed to go to college um so the what I've been preparing why everybody's on leave is I know we have a battalion exercise coming up

and for the opt four we don't need Marines for that out for we're going to use dumpsters and we're going to have enemy dumpsters out for the out for instead and that's just to go along with the trash initiative I'm not sure what's going in them but I'm hey real quick trash five real quick trash five hey Armory do you guys have BFA's locked on for that

you know we want tough realistic training going into this dumpster fire X and I just want to make sure that we got BFAs do we have BFAs Oh, sir, I think I think we'll turn them in over the dermo to hide from the frigging dang LRE inspection But I got a boy over at 17th to the fifth com

And him and I were hats together And I hit him up and see if we can get some extras You're looking for like just regular BFAs Or like the big ones that go on like the machine gun types. Aren't you the Armory Chief? Yeah. Capital B.F. I just kind of focused on the maintenance

management side of things, but I got you, sir. Don't worry. Too easy. Okay, thanks, Armory Chief. Trash Fibb out. Back to the three. Oh, okay. I mean, the four Zulu. Right. Yeah, it seems like we got a little derailed

there. Were there any Intel updates? Do we have anything? No, sir. Oh, okay. Then I guess trash five here real quick.

I know that for the two shop, we usually focus on maps, lamination, the weather, illumination as a part of the weather, participation, not like participating in the meeting, but, you know, the type of rain type per capita in a given zone.

There seems to be a lot going on in the world, with, you know, Marines and ships in and around Venezuela, hitting docks, hitting boats and airstrikes, stuff going on in Iran right now. Two, would you mind just for the group, for the group, just kind of like, could you go into, just kind of set like the world picture for us? Again, sir, this is Lance Corporal Smith. I could, yes, but I honestly, I'm leaving the Marine Corps. and about a week and a half.

Not by choice. I was asked to leave. I was ATLed. So I don't know what is going on in the world per se. But I hope that it's all going well. That's all I have, sir. Great, great brief. Was that, was it?

Yeah, that's great. They don't usually let me come to these things. So I'm not really sure. If that's a good brief or not. Logistics, I think you're next in order of numbers. Trash five here. Hey, so I know you're filling in there, Lieutenant Zuckerberg as the three, but technically you are the four of Zulu.

That's why you're Zuckerberg. So you need to cover down the four step. The S4 is actually on 427 days of maternity leave. And yes, it's a man, but he rates. so Zuckerberg your show time for the big leads LT oh um I

do we have any maintenance any maintenance that needs to get done we should we should do that I think I think I was working on an LOI for a maintenance stand down earlier I'm not really sure what that is it feels like we should always be doing maintenance

but I guess we don't always do maintenance, but you should do maintenance. I think that's what the four might talk about. Yeah, nailed it. Yeah, good brief. Yeah, great brief. You're going place. I'm going to tell see. I'm going to tell trash six to eight block you. We're going to move you over to the four shop. I think that's a real nice fit. Real nice fit. Hey, uh, hey there, three step fill in. I think the conference phone lines ringing. Can you answer that? Oh, uh, uh, uh, uh, boop. Hey, team trash six.

I'm up here, I'm out baldy, drunk off my ass, just, you know, doing leave and stuff. Just wanted to call in. I knew we were doing the conference call and I miss it, you know, you know, sometimes you're, you're in the meetings, you're in the heat of battle, you're in the fog of war, and you look back one day and you'll say, those are the good old days. And, uh, you're living them right now. I appreciate what you do. do. Thanks for what you do for the team.

Holiday Trash is a real mission of mine and a real priority. Just wanted to call in and yeah, trash sticks out. Oh. Did we say attention on deck? Is he actually here? Oh, gosh.

Great brief. Oh, outlying stations. Outlying stations. Oh, gosh. Where did it go? we had one we had the chaps always always covering down uh all right chaplain checking in uh classic looks like the slides did not get updated uh true true no one happens so no one intended the christmas eve service uh next year it'll be a no fail mission to get everyone there all right this is a reminder oh oh go ahead go this reminded me of and me being

our chaps. This reminded me of a verse in 1st Corinthians, quote, for I delivered to you as first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, and that he was buried and that he was raised on the third day according to the scriptures. Just as delivered to you this most important instructions for Christmas Eve, Paul is delivering the most important thing that he could. Take note. This is truly a no-fail mission secure the trash, secure your salvation, over. Over. I got to say, I got, is he actually a chaplain?

No, well, I mean, yeah, but of course. I got to say, though, if we, if we can turn him into a service member, which we've basically done. Basically. He's got the language. He sounds like he is. Yeah. If we could turn him into a service member, he might be able to turn our, our listeners into church service members.

You know, just, you know, it's like you have, my dad always says being saved is a hard issue. Just because you sit in your garage for 12 hours a day, doesn't turn you into a car. But I think if you listen to the okay podcast for 90 weeks, you might become born again and an honorary Marine. So, you know, just saying. That's true. Now I just got to take care of some of the formalities and you just get through a boot camp or OCS. Yeah. Oh, C.S.

Baptism. Bingo, 9-0. Good brief. Real quick to some of the outlying stations that I have heard from this week, that maybe not be on the grams as much. Sean Shep, Mr. I Can Drive, won his fantasy league.

And I think that is only a part of our expert sports commentating this year. He may not know that, but it definitely is a reason. So congratulations on Sean Shep. And I have no doubt that a New Jersey league is hot, heavy, and some intense sports fans. Not a casual league. Yeah. Yeah. That is not, that is not a league that Grant is in, you know, starting, not starting five players. I think that's an intense league. So shout out to Sean Shep for that one. Who else?

that I hear from outlying stations. Oh, Tim Bain, former guest of the podcast. He just texted me and said, I'm just dying about everyone thinking that trash six is black.

And so I don't know why I found that funny or he found that was funny, but I thought that it was funny that he said that. So shout out Tim Bain, major United States Army, probably Lieutenant Colonel like any day now. Also, Joshua Hansen, been commenting on the spotifies he said we got black grant we got boston grant we got southern

grant who am i missing oh and we got grant's buddy anyone else uh so josh faithful lins listener thanks for listening to the show uh we had a couple other comments i don't have up right now but uh yeah we appreciate you going out there commenting on the youtube videos on the spotifies uh matt ron uh we appreciate what you do for listen to the podcast like i said we we we we made this podcast to talk to my mother and it turns out we're still talking to mom but uh you know we got a couple other people uh by the way tray i should know this and if it is your mother i'm to feel bad but who is old tanya gotledge no that is my mom yeah oh okay you want you want to talk about what uh what mom did yeah so i had a christmas list that she asked me to make every year

and on that was do you write like dear santa dumbbells dear santa yeah yeah and uh in an iPhone note that I share with her um

I assume she gives that to santa yeah direct line direct line as all moms have um and so I had asked for some erodible dumbbells

by the Strength Co not knowing that they come in pairs, she ordered two of them, thinking that, hey, we need two dumbbells. And so for Christmas, I get four loadable dumbbells. So, honestly, great. I use them tonight. All four of them, I hope. Yeah.

Yeah. Well, two for feet, two for hands. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, so I got to say what your mother really did was understand the quality of American made business and products. That's what it was. Yeah. We sell them as singles and the default on the store is a single

and then you can click the variant a pair. But I think that your mom was like, there's no way a pair of dumbbells is this much of a bargain that's made in America. I better buy two of them. I appreciate her business. We also will

refund her and take a pair back. I don't think for many barbells as we call them. But I generally am on the lookout for names I know I actually didn't see that one come through when you sent the photo today I had no idea what you were talking about

and then I looked up old Tanya and I was like get it girl so yeah single mini barbell is what we call them they're 135 bucks you can buy a pair for 250 bucks you save a little bit of money there by getting two at once good little unit

28 and a half millimeters I'm a fan of the mini barbells mainly probably not for what most people are most people are looking to do like arm and curl work i love them for farmers carries because yeah that's about saying big farmers carry apparatus it's going to take so much room in your uh so much room in your basement whatever your small space is that it's just not practical and so if you got some extra weights or maybe you need to come by some more from the strength co but the great thing is you can put you know you can put three 25s on each side of a mini barbell so 150 pounds plus things 13 pounds you get like 1063 pounds on the bar

it'd be 115 perfect or you know the collars reseller a pound each so it would the math would work out perfect um and i like those things just like loaded at all times the weights never come off and hey i want a quick gasser at the end of the workout grab some heavies and do some uh some farmer's carries but they're they're useful for all sorts of things uh i like them for that. Conner, front of the podcast, front of the Strenco, he's got some weights that we took out of C.T. Fletcher's gym when C.T. Fletcher upgraded stuff to Strenco. And I think he's got his set with two 25s on each side. And that's like his jam is just doing farmer's walks as well. So I think it's underrated for that in terms of, and really a bargain, because if you get the big farmers walk

apparatus, it's way more expensive. And maybe there's some science about like the weight being further out in front of you in behind you or if you're going to compete that's how you're going to compete but if you're just looking for something that's not going to make you sore get your heart rate up and burn a bunch of calories farmers walks and sled pushes are my favorite two things and man the many barbells you got two of those you just leave them right by the garage door drink a little too much eggnog walk out of the garage pick those bad boys up and uh off you go but thanks thanks tanya for supporting the podcast by way of the strength co big fan man yeah i used it for uh some shoulder shrugs another good finish case finished my workout then my problem

shoulder shrugs i'm like man i don't need dumbbells that are like heavy enough so now you do got these little dumbbells and now i do you look at it's like what else you're going to do with a hundred pound dumbbell it's like you do shrugs and they just take up space yeah yeah yeah just sits there Yeah, it's good. There's an argument as a guide and we don't make fixed dumbbells. We sell some from Golden's Cassire, but there's an argument to have like a set of fixed dumbbells. Like I'm here. I'm with you. But back to what we're talking about last week and like minimal equipment. Is it more work putting tens, fives on, getting the weight that you want? Maybe you're trying to do like sets of 10 curls at 25, 35, 45, 45. Like is it much easier to have fixed? Yes. But in terms of like compact space and still getting what you want to do, I'd say it's an underrated. product on the website underrated. Oh, yeah.

The big fan. And whoever does y'all's packaging. Ah, you learn. Great job. Is there a secret to taking off the you know, the metal? Yeah. So it comes in a tube, comes in a cardboard tube

and probably took me about 10 minutes to take it off. What's the secret to that? Christmas Christmas excitement right there. I get a pair of needle those pliers and if you look at the cardboard tube it's actually kind of like a you know those biscuits that you unwrap yeah yeah so it's actually kind of like that if you grab it so the key is people focus on the metal and you should just focus on the cardboard and unwrap and then if you unwrap it to get past the metal the metal comes right out the barbells are even packaged

even harder or what should I say more bulletproof The mini barbells small enough, you can put it in the tube, foam on each sin, metal casing, and you're good because it's only 13 pounds. What people are chucking at places, it doesn't pop out. 45 pound barbells, we do the foam patty, we do the metal tube. Then we do two wooden blocks on each side with a screw into it. It, like, holds that tight.

But yeah, it's almost like when you ship a bunch of stuff, you learn a bunch, and what you find out is like returns, you don't like. and you don't like when customers don't get the product like they want it. And so you do everything that you can. With that said, it's almost like during the Christmas season, when more things are hitting the carriers than ever, it stuff still breaks. But I appreciate the emails, the 10 paragraphs of how you can't believe

the cheap boxing, you know, that we use. And we should use custom boxing design for it. And it's like, brother, if you knew, the amount of research and product design that went into that cardboard. I'm sad when I see the cardboard boxes go in the trash. Like, I'm a trash guy. Everyone wants to credit me for the cast iron plate. Can we not take some appreciation for the cardboard box in the mylar bag and the strapping tape that came in it?

Anyway, I don't. If it took me, if it took me 10 minutes to get it out, like, I appreciate the packaging. that's how I know it was packaged well yeah that's what you that's what you've always said oh yeah someday we're gonna look back at the episode 90 we'll be like those were the good old days of podcasting anyway sorry I'm running my suck I got gym on the brain I've been in been in the gym I've been slinging weights to just want to talk gym stuff no well all day i'm i'm kidding jeff you can pick up other topic oh oh okay okay um okay let's talk some chow okay let's talk some carnivore chow and how that all works what tray what are you going to do you're gonna

you're all in right yeah i am yeah i'm pretty excited about it to keep going um i don't know but you're gonna you have carve up and the finish right i mean that's what i've been doing today yeah you know you don't start until you start i mean come on i did i was that a cake for dinner um yeah what's what's kind of like your go-to do you have like a a ritual kickoff of like hey this is my first meal and have uh no i think my go-to for carnivore and uh diana always thinks it's funny because she's like i love that when you are like I'm going to eat super healthy. You go to Costco and spend like $500 on meat and sparkling waters.

I'm like, yeah, it's called health and wellness right there. I think preparations, everything. I do go to Costco. I didn't have to be Costco, but it seems to be a good deal. I'll get like a full thing of rib eyes. I'll get the 50 egg pack. I'll get a couple cases of the chicken bone broth. I wish they had the beef there.

But you get ripped off in these grocery stores with these little, like, tiny bone broth things that are $47. So I buy the Costco chicken bone broth one. You got to make sure you get bone broth, not bone stock, bone broth. It's got about like nine or 10 grams of protein in it. It's the good stuff. It means they actually boil the bones. You get the collagen and everything that you're after.

If it's like got one gram of protein, you're dealing with extra soup. Okay, you're not after extra soup. You're after bone broth. So make sure you figure that out. But I fill up with rib eyes, ground beef, not a, hunt of chicken and pork i eat it but like what i find is i'm more prone to eat the beef but i do i will get in a rut where i'll need the chicken and pork so i'll have some of that i also get about uh you know a lot of sparkling water um because i just find that like that it just helps

like i don't know the the thing about carmores you're not bored you're always full uh but i find the sparkling water provides a little like variety which is what you don't have i think two years ago is when i'd shot that deer and i ate like 40 pounds of venison over a month and that was rough it was cool for about what's your sparkling water brand man i the real thing is which one's a bargain uh i i think polar's my favorite but that's just because i like boston stuff but i think i like polar but i also like waterloo i think i know that lecroy's not my favorite but i like it fine um but i'm like uh state of brothers if you buy four packs of bubbly you save a dollar 50 on each well i'm drinking bubbly this week you know i i kind of i kind of play that game with the sparkling

waters uh but yeah bone broth that um i don't use limit uh but i i generally will like have some type of electrolyte stuff handy in case. And there's, I don't have like a brand that I particularly like. A lot of people use LMNT, but I like to have that around. I like to have decaf coffee around at night. And I think I'm also, my brain right now is going generally what I do is I kick the new year. I finish New Year's day and I fast and I'm going to do that this year for like 72 hours and then I go into carnivore.

And so some of those things are like for the fast and then that like those habits just kind of carry over into it. a lot of eggs and then I'll enter in cheese and then I'll try to not do milk for as long as I can but then I end up adding in milk. I get some different fats. I get I get some bacon. I like bacon fine, but I generally like to cook bacon, just like save the grease and then like cook other meats with it, make some taste different. Done the ghee thing. Yeah, it's great. I'm excited. I've done it enough now and like had success that it's like, oh man, two weeks in. and you're just like, this is phenomenal.

Why would I ever eat a sandwich again? And then it's like March and someone's like, you want a lobster roll? I'm like, I'd love a lobster roll. Oh, that sounds pretty. Sandwiches are phenomenal. Is there a lobster roll? That wins,

when's worldwide lobster roll month? Is that a month? I'm on, I'm on that tray. Four lobster rolls a day. Yeah. Now, there's like different levels to carnivore, right? As far as like,

yeah, I'll read what I, dropped into the guys doing it um i like sean baker i think he's like the voice in carnivore uh i mean i don't like agree with 100% of every single thing he says but uh the so that he there's a dairy and no dairy version i like the dairy version i think the no dairy version is like more uh difficult but it's uh meats beef lamb bison pork poultry seafood eggs allowed dairy if you tolerate he says full fat yogurt, kefir, heavy cream, cheese. He actually does the same milk. He's big on seasonings, salt in particular, obviously drinks or water, black coffee, plain tea, skip sweetened anything.

That's where I slip in the sparkling waters. Eliminate plants, sugar, alcohol, seed oils, the usual suspects, have electrolytes around. Yeah, that's kind of the thing. I mean, I think that's why it's like easy and it's most of the people that have done this challenge i think two years ago we had like 24 people do it and 21 finished the whole month is because other diets you're just like hungry all the time and you get like all these blood sugar fluctuations and i'm not here saying like carnivores like the number one diet that everyone should do uh i just think it eliminates all the things that are bad for you alcohol sugar processed foods right and generally people seem to feel pretty good on it. Not everyone has as good a result. Some people have the poop thing.

I've never had the poop thing where they just like, they get like diarrhea for a few days due to the fiber change. I, yeah, I don't know. I guess I got to steal stomach. You guys need to eat more MREs. You need to prep your stomach for battle. Okay. That's it. Where does it fall in like fruit? Did they get thrown in there sometime? times there's probably people that do I don't so this is where this is where like there's different camps either's different camps but it's like okay what if you add it in fruit well that would be fine right like in terms of like zoom out of carnivore you're just talking like health like oh yeah well obviously fruit would be fine like what if I ate broccoli

like well that would be fine and what if I added some white rice and say well that would be fine and if you're following it's like people that try to follow the vertical diet it's like yeah they're like trying to eat all the right things pyramid uh food pyramid turned upside down but it just leads like way more variance off the path where it's like hey i'm just going to eat meat dairy and it's it and like i can drink water and coffee that it's like oh well the rules are very simple now i don't have to weigh anything i'll have to measure it i just do this and you know if you're looking for some fat loss that probably happens if you're looking for like lowered inflammation that's going to happen if you're looking for better sleep because you're not getting like the sugars and the blood sugar spikes that happens

I think it's an easy one for people to follow I don't think it's like the end all be all but I also don't think like I don't want to live where I do that every day I mean if I had an autoimmune disease I probably would right if I had something that I like fixed it of course I would like man I love tacos you know this is the best yeah I think I think people are pooping because they're just eating meat, cheese, and crushing coffee. Yeah. I think that's an awesome part of where it comes from. I mean, that would make sense. Dr. Gottlett you over here. It just makes me poop thinking about it. Oh, you need to go and you take a break.

Maybe. Maybe. All right. Well, should we get right in the tortilla since we're talking about. That's what I was going to say. Like, I want to hear about the. Yeah, what's this sort of behind this? This might be one of the more political topics we've ever gotten into.

No, I don't know. So there's some California's passing a law that you have to add in folic acid to tortillas. And there's a bunch of different camps on this. The way the government's selling it to you and sorry, but not sorry, if the government's selling you something, it's probably not good. but the way they're selling it to you is that the Latino population has a higher birth rate defect than the white population in California and white women getting pregnant tend to have a higher level, it's actually folate acid that most of them take because they like supplement like prenatals and do stuff. Not that Hispanics don't, but I mean like that's actually

it. I'm going to get to my point. Folate acid is actually what you're after. What you can like quickly add in because it's, you know, a synthetic is folic acid. And so they're passing laws January 1, 2026, tortilla makers have to put folic acid into their tortillas. And so there's a, we could talk birth defects, the government getting involved in your business. We could like talk about all of that and whatever. There's there's good camps and everything. I'm just like, why would you ruin a tortilla? It's like flour, water, and salt. We've been making them for thousands of years and it's phenomenal and it tastes great. Why would you put an acid in a tortilla? Like it's one of the, it's like saying bread has to have acid or rice. Like it's, it's like this is

like one of the most pure forms of whatever. And then there'll be camps like, oh, all purpose flour. It's fortified with this. And it's like, well, I'm not for four. fortification of foods. I think like food should just be the food. And then there's also like, well, what if I don't want to take folic acid in my tortillas? I just think it's a really interesting law. And I think it's interesting that the government is telling you we're doing this because like it's aimed at Hispanics in California. It's like we know you guys eat a lot of tortillas. So like we're going to do this. And it's really interesting to me. Yeah. It's the vitamin. It's just so prenatal for like.

Well, white people love vitamin gummies. So we're just going to jam all the vitamins and just the tortillas. And that'll help the Latinos. We're good. That'll do it. Yeah, problem solved. So, yeah, I don't know. I don't want my tortillas ruined.

I think, like, you can only buy from, like, mom and pop shops now if you're a, if you're a purist to this past, man. Like the big brands, like Guerrero and like all the ones that you'd see in your California supermarkets, it's. um it's common man get ready to eat your acid get ready man well where do you where do you get your tortillas do you guys fun um yeah so actually i mean a lot of times i mean tortillas diana's mother made them uh or diana made them

if i go to buy them my stater brothers here you know how groceries will have like local vendors like local brands that are in there So there's one in there. I like, it's like, I guess we'll just talk tacos real quick. Love it. The traditional, like what, you know, well, when you think traditional Mexican taco, what do you think? Corn tortilla. Yeah.

Yeah. I think like shrimp taco. How many of tortillas? Probably three. Dose. Minimum. Dose. Yeah.

Jeff's on to something. So like I think that I think it's the Mexico. No, not Mexico City. It's like cities in Mexico. We'll get to Mexico City in a second. Do two. corn tortillas. And I'm going to butcher this. And if hopefully we don't have any Hispanic listeners, because it'd be like if someone logged in and tried to tell me about like Gamecock

football in the 80s and I'd be like, brother, you screwed it all up. But the majority of if, if like a white person goes to Mexico, parts of Texas that aren't in love with Tex-Mex or Southern California, and they think like Mexican style tacos or street tacos, it's two corn tortillas, Alpasteur, Carnasada, you know, whatever you want. And then it's like onion, cilantro, served with a couple of limes and radish. Love those tacos. Huge fan. Love them.

What I prefer is there's a Mexico City style, which is a yellow corn tortilla that's like a little bit thicker. So, like, think what you would think if you went and bought a flour tortilla, except it's like more airy. And when those are made, it's one tortilla. And I prefer that because even though it's like bigger and a little bit, thicker. I still think the meat to like tortilla ratio is better. And so there's some local brand. I forget what it is, but it's sold in the grocery store by my house. And I always seek

those out. And you know they're good because sometimes you'll get them and you'll try to separate them and they'll tear. And that's how you know they don't have folic acid. They had folic acid. You can be throwing them like frisbees, you know? Anyway, sorry. I digress. For those that are listening this and aren't passionate about tortillas, I'm not sorry. yeah yeah so check to tortilla ingredients folks you know be be on the lookout for that bowl of gas yeah so are you are you anti-flower tortilla they have their place with like i feel like with burritos i would i would say i'm not anti but you'd never see me order one okay but i would i mean jeff see me burritos back of the day but like like

Like, now that I've been educated, I'd rather eat, like, 10 street tacos than a California burrito. Like, that's just where I've gone in my Mexican cuisine. Like, I, like, when I was, like, 15 in the South, I'd be like, give me that chummy chame. Like, big flour tortilla with, like, a remnants of a baby goat inside, just covered in some white queso cheese. and I'm like, oh, this is good Mexican food. Real authentic. Yeah, once you taste the good stuff, you're like, ah, man, I don't

I don't want a big burrito. Okay, so, yes. So, yeah. But I'm not anti-flower tortilla. It just sounds like you are. Yeah. Something. I'm anti-flower tortilla like I am brisket.

Okay. I think brisket can be really good. I just like nine times out of ten, I'm ordering pulled pork. And it's just where I'm, Matt, you know. Fair enough. I respect it.

I'm anti-flower tortillas like the Aggies are anti-scoring touchdowns in the college football playoffs. Fair enough. It's not that they don't want to do it. They just don't. Just don't.

Yeah. What happens? That's how it goes. I guess you know what's funny is all of our teams have scored the same amount of touchdowns in the playoffs. That's true.

Hey, oh. I knew the game Cox for that close day and M. We proved it. Man. Oh, man. Too soon. Yeah, we messed up, by the way.

I just realized yesterday by not picking the games last week. Yeah, we messed up. We didn't realize that the games weren't on Saturday that they're, yeah. Yeah. That's all right. We can still pick them and then, you know, people. They know what we picked prior to the game happening. Yeah.

No, I think we did pretty good. We did pretty good. Yeah. Yeah. We picked them all right. If, you know, we picked them in secret and we got them all right is what you need to. Oh, yeah. I get another shout out to Troy Campbell Sr. I got a phone call because he sent us those shirts.

So I sent him a Stranko shirt. So he, like, looked at the packaging. Oh, yeah. He, wearing it right now. I love it. He looked at the packaging called the number rang. We use a phone, you know, app. It rings a bunch of people.

But I can't remember if it was a holiday or a Sunday. I'm in that blur between Christmas and New Year's. But I answered. Yeah, Strenko, this is Grant? He's like, is this Grant Brogey from the OK podcast? I'm like, in IKEA with my wife and daughter promising like, hey, we're just going to go enjoy IKEA. I'm not going to work for three hours.

And I'm like, hey, he's like, hey, it's Troy Campbell, Sr. Thanks for the shirt. And I'm like, oh, yeah, you're welcome, blah, blah. He's like, wrong size. I'm like, I'm really sorry. And he's like, just kidding. Everything's great. Where was I going with it?

What were we talking about? I forgot. He made a comment. Lost been trying to thought. We're talking about what we're talking about Ohio State. And I said, I said, yeah, I got to go. And he's like, yeah, I love the podcast. Thanks for the shoutouts.

I'm like, yeah, yeah. And I'm like, yeah, I'm sorry. Like I'm shopping with my wife. We got to go. And, you know, I got to start thinking about picking the games. He goes, you know, you guys did really good this year. And I thought, did we? Like, are you saying that?

Or I got to go back and run the numbers. Yeah. I got no idea. I have no clue. Hey, we got second in the league. That's all that matters. Yeah. Yeah.

And Sean Shepard won his fantasy football. The correlation is causation. Yeah. We did all that fantasy football talk. All those like, hey, you need to add this guy, drop this guy, start. His QV was full of Bermers. Drops Stefan Diggs before the playoffs. Trust me on this one.

Yep. Yep. So sounds like we're itching to talk sports. I think he might be. Sounds like. I like it. Real quick. Let me click over a tab here. We got 2421 Trojans over the horn frogs right now. I can see that. With 237 to play and TCU's got the ball. So we'll keep you up to date, even though it'll be over when you listen to this. We'll just make sure we keep you up to date. You will be up to date. You'll be up to date on what happened four days ago.

Because maybe you didn't watch it, but then you listen to this podcast, you feel like you did. a you got k seals 21 for 29 with a pick j pain 13 carries in a t d 73 yards we called um yeah anyway uh yeah what do you want to get into first oh i'll take one thing it looks like i mean i don't know if anyone from auburn's team next year will be on the team next year from last year's team will be on it's just everybody's jumping in the portal man all three quarterbacks in the portal. Cam Coleman, best player on the team in the portal,

running back in the portal. Fingers crossed. Best offensive back in the portal. One of our better offensive linemen in the portal. Like, it's not good. It's not good. Cam Coleman, baby.

Or is it? Come on down. I mean, no, Auburn was not good. Feature not bug. I think it's just this whole era of college football is so weird right now. I don't know it could be worse man. It could be Iowa

State right now. Who has that you have seven like literally everyone. 17 players left on the roster? Or was it JMU all 11 offensive starters are in the portal for JMU? I mean just like stuff like that

I'm like I don't know if I like I mean if you're a school right now it's yeah I don't love that either. I think if you're small school I mean good for them. Yeah I understand why those players to do it. I don't like it, but I understand it. I feel like, I feel like coach lost the locker room. I got to say with the people that Beamer kept, you know, and Lenore's been getting a lot of hate on the internet, but I'm like, I, I just think the players still believe

in the guy. And I think it's a good sign. And I don't know what we're going to do next year, but like it's a good sign. Whereas I think, uh, yeah, money, but like we're not text A&M oil people over here, man. Like, we ain't got what you got. Um, he's still got money somewhere. Yeah, there's always money. It's all fake. It's all buried in the folic acid. That's it.

Sometimes I've got that tortillas street go money. Yeah. They get that Stranko money. Yeah. I don't know. We'll see. Auburn 1 and 7 in the SEC last year. Gamecox 1 and 7 in the SEC last year.

We got something to prove. It's a race to the bottom. It's a race to the bottom. Well, let's see. Pop-Tart Bowl. I want to talk. Pop-Tart Bowl. Epic. To Real quick, let me pause you.

I missed my thing here as we go into the sports section. We're not doing picks the weeks yet. Don't worry, Jordie. Don't pull up the reverb just yet. But this episode is brought to you by Mr. Helmut, green, gridiron, gridiron green. You like football? You like Bitcoin? I got that back there too, but you like football.

You got a favorite team, even if they're one in seven, four and eight, one and seven, the SEC, four and eight. But you want the mini helmet and you bet on a game with your buddy. And he doesn't give you the visor. Go over to Mr. Helmet and get you a mini speed riddle helmet with the bumpers on the back. Maybe you're in the military. You want to do a commemorative gift. This is the Godfather helmet right here. You can get the bumpers on the back, extra flags.

You can do helmet stickers if you wanted. you can do a little bumper in the front and put a visor on it because you're not cheap. It's a good-looking visor. You know, no matter what it is, you want to get a helmet. You want to get a full-size helmet, walk into the office. Like, what was the guy? Terry Tate. You know, you want to go into your office meeting to start the new year and just bum-rush somebody.

Go to Mr. Helmet. Green, gridiron, gridiron, green. You Google all that. Guaranteed, number one, he pops up. Or just click the show notes below. Mr. Helmet, a real sponsor. Thanks for what you do. Anyway, continue, Pop-Tarts.

Back into the Pop-Tart Bowl. No, Pop-Tarts, mascots would have liked that segment. But, Trey, I became aware of the Pop-Tart Bowl a little bit last year. It's been going on for a couple of years now. But just the mascots are just very over-the-top. They're just giant Pop-Tarts that run around doing crazy things on the sideline. And then at the end, the winning team, like, they wheel out this, like, giant fake toaster. And then two of the Pop-Tarts, like, get, quote, unquote, like, sacrificed and, like, go into the giant toaster.

And then at the bottom, it, like, spits out these two big, like, Pop-Tart cake things. And then the winning team is, like, feasts on the bodies of the Pop-Tarts. And one of them refused to jump in. Oh, this year, yeah, there was like a protein pop-tart that, like, was up there and supposed to go into the toaster, but, like, jumps off and, like, escapes at the last minute. They think that they're setting up some sort of protein pop-tart storyline for next year's Pop-Tart bowl. So this just extends beyond the game on the field. The trophy has a functional toaster in it. It, like, opens and you can toast pop-tarts in the trophy.

yeah so this was the bYU george tech game yeah yeah the game was good um game so that was great bonus yeah the game was really entertaining and then the pop tarts were were even more entertaining so um that's a good pop tart content out there on the internet if you have it well also Notre Dame just took a beating a beating during that game because also when was that game it ended up being on like a really opportunity time. So even like in the Slack channel, you could tell a lot of people were watching the Pop-Tar Bowl. So I think like daytime location must have been really good, mostly daytime. I mean, I think location was good. Yeah. But yeah, Notre Dame. They missed out. I'm sorry, Ray Tuwee.

I'm looking for a reason to give you guys a break, but guys messed up by not playing the Pop-Tar bowl. What the Georgia Tech coach said at the end, he's like, this is a sport. We give everything we've got 365 days a year. 365 days a year we give everything we've got everything on campus off campus on the field off the field so we can play 12 games so we play 12 games 365 days revolve around 12 days and you get an opportunity to play a 13th and you're too good for it you're not a competitor and i was like ah why do i not love this guy dang pretty good yeah there was a paraphrase yeah it was a bonus that was a bonus was more notre dame like getting just trolled on on all social media platforms and how they got crushed i love it they got crushed yes i saw some i don't want grant did you or was this post on the okay podcast was the notre dame who's the coach marcus freeman interviewed for the giants but he turned it down allegedly oh yeah yeah allegedly turned it down because he didn't he wanted a uh a guaranteed playoff spot yeah yeah

Love it. Love it. I didn't taste that. Oh, I saw that. I was pretty good. And then there's saying that BYU should troll Notre Dame next year when they play them by like wearing. So like even the. Pop-Tarts.

They had like on their helmets. They had like sprinkles in the helmet stripe. Mr. Helmet had sprinkles inside of the Georgia Tech. Yeah. Oh, dude. So they're like BYU is going to wear the Pop-Tart helmet when they play Notre Dame. The end zones were.

brinkled. Trey, it was amazing. It was, uh, what it's someone's kind of like America, America's bowl game or something like, I love it.

I can't wait for the strength co bowl one year. Oh. Oh yeah. And they'll just be throwing cast iron on the field. Just cast iron plates running around. It's a giant cat. Oh, that's,

that's, uh, Casty the mascot. Yeah. Just the trophies. A hundred pound plate. I heard I want I need to hold poke holes in this argument but I heard a someone was talking about if you move the bowl games to the first game of the year

of the next year that it would be that it would be better do why do they count towards that season's record yes I don't know I I'm a guy that likes to take a Christmas tree down immediately after the holiday at the same time like I just love the like you're in that fuzz fog of what day is it when is new years and it's like ah 10 in the morning somebody's playing football this is great true you know I think I would miss having them yeah season yeah I think so I think both seasons what makes like you know the Pop-Tart bowl interesting. And I find myself watching a lot of teams that I would never watch otherwise. You know, because they're playing. I hear the argument, but I think that kills

bull season. I also think that this time of year, people are more prone to travel. A bunch of people are taking off works. Like bowl games are still like decently attended. I think you push that into, you know, late July, early August after summer vacations. And it's like harder to do. Yeah, I like the bowl games. I like them right where they're at. Yeah, but I see your point, like it would, it would bring like a, like, oh, this matters factor like to the game, like, oh. I think that was one of it, one part of it. And then the other part is give you a lot of like good data as far as like, you have a lot of SEC playing Big 12, ACC playing.

True. You know what I mean? So it just gives you like, okay. up a little bit. I don't think you would do anything with the problem of college football, which is the portal, though. Because it's not like, if you want to leave at the end of the season, you'd still leave. Yeah. So your team that earned that bowl spot could be like, could still be like just drastically different in terms of.

Yeah. I imagine. Auburn had six wins this year. And then like they're playing for a bowl next August with like a bunch of people. Like what? Pop darts. I just got here. I don't know.

Yeah. So you think the main problem with college football is the portal? I think so right now. And just the way it's structured and the timing. It might get fixed up. It might get better. I don't know if there is. I actually don't know the solution.

I just, I want to be like your average Marine that comes in and just complains and offers you no way to fix it. I think a potential fix. is you can only transfer once. Yeah. And I would like to see, well. And then like when you transfer, you have to stay somewhere for two years.

Like I think it's like, like something where like, yeah, some kind of thing. Because I feel for like, I feel for these coaches. Like so Auburn, I think your coach got canned. So like that kind of makes sense.

Right. Beamer is actually retaining people. But if Beamer was losing everyone right now. It's like, man, you know, I'm not a huge beer fan. I don't dislike them, but it's like you're at gear five. You're trying to finally build momentum. And then like you have some rough games, bad season. Maybe it is the offensive coordinator's fault, whatever. And it's like, oh, man, I can like start completely from scratch. Like imagine having a company or battery of Marines. It's like, you're getting going. It's like, I got this bad gunnery sergeant, you know,

or bad CEO. If I'm, you know, the gunnery sergeant, I got this terrible CEO, but I got these good guys. And it's like, ah, the CEOs out, I get this new one. But then now everyone's, you know, like, it's like, how do you, in terms of like, build the culture, the loyalty. Yeah. Yeah. I feel, yeah, these coaches, man, it's, it's got to be rough. And then I did see someone like talking about like, okay, well, they, do they need to, you know, guys can't go interview for jobs until the season's over if it's like a head coach from like the head coaching side of things, which I,

could see because then that just like but then I don't know like hey if these if these players want to get out of there they want to start I guess you know they take visits then like I saw some guy from Oklahoma State is entering the portal he's gonna go visit four schools and one of those four schools that he's visiting is Oklahoma State the school that he is leaving from but he might just stay there epic dude it's it's weird it's weird yeah portal strange so they call it the portal that's why they call it the portal one of these days we're going to look back and say those were the good old days of college football and then one more thing i have you guys

have seen the news story where it's like the a guy that got drafted into the NBA and then ended up like not like signed an NBA contract didn't end up playing in the NBA went overseas to play but is now like has signed back but he still had college eligibility left technically so has like now signed to play with baler so he like got drafted into the NBA I think they're gonna I think the NCAA is going to shut it down but like they basically signed a guy that still had college eligibility but like never actually play or like but then got drafted so now he's going back to college but they he's trying to go back to college it's wild I mean I think everyone deep down wants to go back to college and it's like oh this is only happened

because NIL and like, okay, he's like, oh, I can actually go make money and be a college. Oh, man. Well, that's why they call college football. That is what a car. Yeah, Trey. Sorry, brother. What about? I just keep seeing your hat and I just, I'd like so.

It's a good looking hat, though. Yeah, it's a great. If you're not watch us on YouTube, go to the YouTube, go to the OK podcast. Even if you're never going to watch it on YouTube again, maybe you're like 61 years old and you work out of the Coast Mason Strenko Gym.

Brother, if you got a Google account, log into YouTube real click, click that subscribe button because some people do watch it or some people find it through the algorithm.

So go subscribe on YouTube. But Trey's wearing a nice Aggie's hat. I saw the thing. I think I put in the OK podcast. I like posting the yell eater. because I know that, like, they don't bother you and you think it's funny. But it was, like, worst college football season ever, question mark.

And it was like, when however many games, don't score a touchdown in the playoffs, lose to your rival. There was like something else. And I was like, ooh, man, that is like pretty rough. Oh, don't win the conference either. That was the other one. Oh, no. the worst college football season is

what was Jimbo's last year where he won five games yeah I'm more of an RC suckum guy but I get it yeah that was probably that was probably the worst yeah dude I like objectively

I feel like it was a successful season so yeah I think you're gonna look back on that season be like man that was that was a great year Oh, it's like 11, 11 and 1. You made the playoffs. Like, yeah. Oh, winning, winning football.

I mean, as a guy that just watched 4 and 8 go by, I remember beating Wisconsin in the, let's see, other bowl in Orlando, not the outback. Is the orange or citrus? Yeah, citrus. That's the big one. Citrus. Citrus, yeah.

Beating Wisconsin, third 11th, one season. a row didn't win the east that year beat clemson had hung four on them at the time and it was like this is phenomenal and i get it there's a great year yeah there's people with those these shirts out there that are just used to winning national championships and 11 wins means nothing to them but for us little guys over here us guys over here eating tortillas without folic acid and buying strength co weights level when level in season i'll put my head on that pillow one of these days they'll find themselves in the wilderness and guarantee it yeah it's a valley go through the valley the shadow of death chaplain gets it all right i think it's now it's time

Maybe I'm wrong. I think UGA covers.

Ooh. What was the score when they played last? Let's look it up. UGA versus Ole Miss 2025. Of course, going to pull up bowl game. Georgia beat him 4335. Yeah, I would say

Who's that coming down the track? I think Georgia wins. I'll go with that. I think it's been closer than what it was previously, but I still think Georgia wins. Interesting. I think Georgia wins.

I'm going to say they went big. No lane Kiffin. I think Georgia was big. That QB, Chandless. He's good. He's good. He's good. He's good, man.

All right. So there you got it. We got everybody's got Ohio State beat Miami. Everybody's got Texas Tech. Jeff has Alabama, Grant and Trey got Indiana. Everybody's got Georgia. Yep. There you have it. Jordie, make that a clip.

Make it a clip. Put a Dunkin thing down at the bottom and then put next year, Auburn, South Carolina, SEC Championship. You already know it's going to happen. we'll cover one Jan 2 game I think let's go Navy Cincinnati Navy favored by 7 yeah I'll take that

favor I think they covered yeah I think so I think field goal field goal game yeah should really just be betting on how many passes are thrown by Navy yeah everybody's got Navy oh gotta go midshipman baby Navy Navy

All right There we go All right What's next Jeff I mean Should we talk about it Like is the SEC still Good

Can we read into these like bowl I think they're two and four right now Well actually know probably Two and five since Yep Who just lost Who just played Illinois Tennessee Tennessee they just lost

Oh that was brutal that was brutal I'm sorry Michael Buckley Michael Buckley a long time strength co supporter in the Slack channel doing carnivore this year uh he's Tennesseeer and my apologies sir tough loss there we're all pulling for you

quick to keep you update USC kicked a field goal who who who I got an ad Oh and overtime Yeah over time I don't know if you could hear that ad but ESPN just threw me and that could you hear that

I didn't hear it Okay good to know I can play stuff you won't hear it. USC up by three TCU with the ball, so it's a game. A bowl record. We got ACC, 4 and 4.

American, 4 and 3. Big 12, 2 and 0. We're going to make a lot of people happy right here that we don't like or we didn't like at the beginning of the season. Big 10, 6 and 0. Convert USA, 4 and 3. Mack 2 and 3, Mountain West, 2, and 5.

Pack 12, 1,0, no one cares. SEC two in five five bowl games remain Sunbelt three and six independent O in one Not a good showing Not so far not great Not a good showing And last year

With eight and seven in bowls Big Ten was six eleven and six American six and two But like I feel it's been the last Three to four years Yeah, we're just beat down there at the end of the year. We're just tired, you know,

Southerners care about their GPAs and they're working on those final exams. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Student athletes. Student. Yeah. Emphasis on the student.

I mean, I think it's the folic acid. They're putting in the food there on campus. Not enough. Not enough for us. Fortifying these players for combat. Yeah. That's a real problem. But, uh,

SEC, we go, we're to SEC. It just means more. It just means more. I mean, but can't we even read into these bowl records anymore now with all the opt-outs and the portal and. I think they're not, I think it's averages. And what I mean is like, it's happening to everyone. True. So, I don't know.

I mean, I think the real test is you got Indiana Ohio State George Ole Miss. I know you got Miami in Oregon. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. But I just mean, I, like, yeah, Tennessee lost Illinois by two, like, whatever. Tennessee had a crummy year. Touchdown. TCU. Touchdown.

Oh, that's game over, right? Wow. Game over. You hear it here first, folks. Horn frogs. Yeah. So what does that do? What's TCU a part of the big mountain southeast or west?

Yeah. No, they're big 12. Big 12. Big 12. Yeah, barely. Who was the Big 12th champion? Oh, Texas Tech. Tech's tech, duh, yeah.

Yeah. Duh. All right. We wrapped up our college foosball. I think so. That was a lot of college football. Wait. Yeah, you save round.

Save round. Alibi. Alibi. You still, so if you're going by, like, who the best conference is, I agree with Jeff. You can't go by a bowl game. I still think the best metric is... NFL draft picks, blah, blah, blah. It's 100%.

That's what it is. Who's getting the most draft picks? Yeah. I still think that's who... To play the games on the field, Trey. That's where the top players are coming from. You don't play it in. Get the cameras out of the draft room.

I think there's actually a lot of belief to that because you're like... Yeah, you look at these programs, Alabama just churning out first round draft picks, second round draft picks. Like, it's nothing. I also think it's, so I'm not arguing with you. I think a big part is how many people got drafted and how did the team do? And if the team did poorly, I think that's when you are like the coach actually is bad. Agreed.

Yeah. You know, and I don't actually think that's, I mean, it's looked at by Connolly's Rice, but not by the right people. Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, Condi, Condi is on it. Condi gets it. Yeah. On it. It gets all over it. Yeah. But you're talking about, like, as a conference, like, who's getting the most draft picks? It's usually the SEC. Oh, yeah. I don't know, man. Big Ten's got a lot of athletes. Well, yeah, but they're usually coming from a small amount of schools. in Oregon now, I guess, yeah.

Yeah, probably not as big. It was a way of life. I don't know. That's why we play the game. That's why we play the game. So I would play the game. So we can look at the draft box. That's right.

So we play the games. So we can see how many people got draft. It's a cycle. Yeah, it's a self-licking ice cream cone. Exactly. Okay, trash sticks out. Move. Do you want to talk about NFL?

Oh, yeah, yeah. The pros. Good segue. Talking about draft picks. Okay, now let's talk about some guys that did get drafted. Let's talk about some guys that got drafted in 2005, Philip Rivers. No, watch this game Sunday. He didn't even, like, plan on it.

It was on. Man, I don't know. He's exciting to watch. And maybe it's just because I don't. I don't know why I get so excited about watching him have success, but... Because he's older than you. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I remember all the college guys are older than you? And then you're like, wake up one day. You're like, I'm older than all the NFL guys. Oh, big, my age, you're retired. Yeah. Yeah, so close. Didn't win. Bad pick six.

Almost had an opportunity there at the end with seconds, didn't. They actually pulled them. So he, like, made a completion, got out of bounds. they're like at the 50 there's like five seconds left and they pull in the young arm from Notre Dame because like they're one option is just like chuck it to the end zone they're like bounced off hands and stuff they didn't win it and then i was like come on guys you got to start them your season's over you got to start them right you got us like i think the cult's owners are not thinking about the fandom that they will create dude right from the movie like you start

him he wins like i can picture the movie right phil rivers like sitting on his couch there's like kids running everywhere he's like on the phone with one of his high school players and his wife comes in she's like philo it's the colts on the phone they want you to come play football he's gets up like grabs his back like oh snap goes in the backyard he's like throwing the pig skin with a 16 year old gets him like a 2000 and now it gets in like a 1997 GMT 4 000 Chevy truck with a gas gauge broken and he's like I don't know if I can play calls his dad and his dad's like son biggest thing in life's taking care of those kids you got 10 of them you need five more years of health insurance like I don't know dad if I can do it goes back finds his like old high school

coach starts throwing the pig skin around goes into the gym can't bench 135 kids come to the game almost wins two games loses them both gets knocked out of the playoffs everyone feels bad for Phil comes out for the final game and wins. Come on, you got to let this guy play. You got to let him play. They're not thinking yeah, television numbers. So many people are going to watch that game if Philip Rivers are playing. People are not going to watch that game

if Riley Leonard's playing. You don't have any Colts fans you're going to make when you make that movie, especially if there's a win at the end. It's like a happy. I talk about remember the Titans to this day. I feel like I was on that team. You remember the Titans as what you're saying.

You remember. You get it. I might. I might just make that movie myself. I feel like I could call Phil. Use my starting strength connect. Somewhere of my starting strength t-shirt. I told you guys about that last week. Do we talk about that? Oh, yeah.

He's a big starting strength guy. Huge starting strength guy. Yeah. Yeah, we talked about that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, anyway, it's over maybe. But maybe they're losing and they put them in.

You never know. You never know. Maybe you really catches COVID, you know, because apparently people still get that. You know, maybe. Yeah. Dude, that's what happens. folic acid tortillas

they cause COVID. I've always said that. He eats the wrong tortillas and just, you know, can't play. You know, Phil Rivers is eating flour, water, and salt tortillas. He's got the real deal going on. Yeah, he's got those real tortillas. He knows what's up. Patriots.

Who's favored to win? Who's favorite to win? NFL? Because Chiefs are out. Are Patriots in? Oh, Patriots are in big time. Everyone will tell you that their schedule almost week this year. It's like,

well, we beat everyone pretty much. I think we lost three game. Let's see. He's one favored to win the Super Bowl. It's probably Seattle. Where like, yeah, the years that Seattle has won the Super Bowl, it's okay, a new Pope gets

appointed. They win 13 regular season games and they win the Super Bowl. Like, that's the last two times they've won the Super Bowl. A new Pope has been appointed. They win 13 regular season games and then they win the Super Bowl so far two of three things have happened

and you know we're just waiting on that third so you got Rams who I believe lost last night did I watch the Rams lose last night? Stafford lost the Rams yeah Falcons gonna falcon yeah Rams Seahawks

Niners bills are Broncos are Broncos pretty good they're good yeah I like the bats, man. Drake May is really good. It's really good. I'm going to go for the bills.

Oh, come on. What are you, Josh Island guy? I honestly, I do like Josh Allen. You're not watching, then you're not watching Mary Bakemiss where Drake May's wife just bakes food every day of December and feeds it to the New England Patriots. You're clearly not watching that. No, I'm not. No, he is watching that.

He definitely is, well, everyone's watching that. Everyone's watching that. Yeah, Mary Bakemus. Yeah, I don't know. We got one more week. NFL's looking aside in Drake, May. I think some of the MVP, I think Stafford gave that to him in last night's game. Stefan Diggs, apparently beat up his chef right after

getting engaged at Cardi B. As one does as his tradition. Yeah, it was kind of interesting and I'm going to sound like, I'm going to sound like such a football fan here. Although my line is generally judging for what they do on the field, not off of it. But I, like, it's been all over my feet, like, you know, Patriots, New England stuff. Yeah. And it's like, hey, I called the cops.

This happened to me two weeks ago. I had redness on my neck. did you take photos no like do you have like any evidence no but this happened and don't get me wrong i don't think digs it's like the philip rivers of the NFL right like i don't think he's like the greatest guy but didn't seem a little fishy there um so it'd be interesting to see what comes out but you know what i always say where there's smoke there's smoke there's smoke okay not always fire sometimes just whether smoke there smoke but that would be a huge hit to the pats if If Diggs doesn't play, that would be rough.

Yeah, just telling them to come to the Cowboys. Well, I think his brother just got cut. Ride them hard, put them away wet. Horses. This is tradition. Right. Oh, yeah, horses. Horses.

All right. What else we got? Trey, you've been lifting? I did yeah I have today today let's go we're so back a good little picture so back as a podcast yeah no so I'm sure my New Year's resolution you don't do New Year's resolution is that a thing for you I don't you don't do it is that the thing for us is like Southerners or what do you mean we know you from Texas like individuals say y'all do you mean the killer bees do you mean Marine Corps majors. Do you mean Southern

you mean SCC fans? Okay. No. Killer Bs. Hi, casters. I don't and never have, but what I will say is, once we talked about earlier, I generally do a fast at the New Year's and then the last couple

I've done carnivore, which I guess you'd call that a resolution, but I'm not like, I hope that this year I never eat tortillas again, right? It's just like, but I do generally do that the start of the year. But no, I don't usually have resos. Why, you got your resos to work out?

I usually don't. Yeah, but no, my goal, I guess, my next turkey pole. Okay. To try to get to, try to get to 500. Yeah. Yeah. That'd be great. Dude.

I think he could do 500 today, honestly. I think you could pull. You should be going for, with 550. Well, you've never done 500, right? No, I did 500. Yeah. I didn't you pull it for five? I did.

Yeah. Yeah. When you were on that run, 600. I was like, yeah, I'm pretty sure 500 is a low bar there. But with the kids now,

that's true. It's a different ballgame. It's a different ballgame. It's a different ballgame. You got the kiddos. I'm a fan, though. Like, I'm actually not a New Year's resolution

hater. A lot of people hate it, like, in the gym industry. I mean, people say gym owners love it like our gym we've talked about this before doesn't like see a crazy rush but i i do think there's something about like the clock hit in midnight and you're like hey i'm gonna like do something a little different um and and setting goals no i think they're good um i just always achieve i guess you're around tray so you know i get yeah i guess it's not a new year's resolution i guess it's more of a goal is

No, I think it's $500 to be of the New Year. $500 by turkey pool. Oh, you got that. Peel that onion back. So what does that mean? I think that means hell or high water, you're in the garage or when you're on the road lifting two days a week. Yeah.

I think minimum. Yeah. 52 days, 52 weeks of the year, you dead lifted, or you lifted twice a week. And I think 30 weeks of the year, you lifted three times a week. I think that's like what that looks like. Okay. Gives you a little option there. Yeah, yeah.

No, I think that's kind of the goal, personal goal I set for myself. But yeah, no, started today, just kind of easing back into it, get the juice flowing kind of thing. Literally. Literally, yeah.

So I got these fancy dumbbells. Might as well use them. Yeah. Got fuck, all four of them. All four of them. But two of them. You can start like a new Christmas tradition, like,

barbell on the elf shelf or something, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Where's the barbell? Throw some eyes on there. Yeah. A little googly eyes. A little gole-a-ass. Barbell on the stairwell.

There you go. That's what we've always called. How did Trey break his neck? Well, Barbell on the stairwell on the stairwell, and he had the lights off, and he forgot it was there, broke his neck. That's how he stubbed his toe. No, it didn't break his neck. Fell up on the stairwell, a Christmas tradition.

But, no, man. Yeah, so far. So, yeah, whenever you posted Cardivore and 10,000 steps a day. You're in. You're in. You're in. If you're in do it, do it. Do it.

christmas trash left over oh man have you all up has it has this been like the story of you guys's life trash just trash dude it's crazy was an obscene amount it's just like it's present trash it's future trash no i meant present like christmas gift trash uh but it is future trash. It's boxes coming in. It's you get mailed something that then you're going to like wrap and give to someone. It's extra bags that you have from last year that you're throwing last minute gifts into. And I feel like all I do is walk to the dumpster. And every time I do, I think of the okay podcast. Like there is just trash. Every Christmas trash is insane. It's absolutely nuts. Yeah. Trash sticks out. That's all I had to say about that.

I mean, yeah. Dude, there was an obscene amount of trash. Yeah. It's wild. Food trash. Beverage trash. Kids toys. Oh, my goodness.

There's some, like, the girls got some gifts. And I was like, I don't want to unbox it. I just want to throw it away now. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Right now. Yeah, I'll just say that they loved it.

Okay. Yep. Garbage. I can't even imagine. Do I want a ton of Play-Doh all over my house? No, no. I'm just going to throw it away now. I'm going to get ahead of this one and just.

I can't even imagine how much trash you must have with three daughters. Because even like we got a ball pit. We got like nine more cat stuffed animals. We got clothes. I mean, it's, it's wild. And the great thing about having a one-year-old is they're like identical to your cats. Like, it's like open the present. The cats and the one-year-old just want to get in the bite.

And it's like, well, no, that's like a horse that you can ride. Nah, we'll just get in this box. No, the box is more here, Daney. A lot of boxes getting into. I'm like, you didn't realize I own a whole warehouse of boxes, right? We could just bring the boxes over here and put a bow on them. We, there's some people we go to church with and they're having some kids. And we're like, hey, here's all this stuff.

Here's a crib. And they're like, you're so nice. I'm like, no, trust me. Like, you're doing me a favor. Like, please, take this. This is called a purge. Oh, yeah. This is fantastic.

What else we got on there? I just want to let everybody know, Space Jam. Space Jam still holds up the original, obviously. We actually ended up watching that today. Michael Jordan. Yeah, still holds up. Bill Murray. Of course it is.

Bill Murray's great. in it just just great great yeah i've watched space jam probably once though i kind of want to go watch it now i just googled it i'm looking at that cover movie yeah i wasn't allowed to watch as a kid but now that i'm 37 i feel like it's okay yeah but i have seen it it's good yeah you got a larry in there you feel like it's weird that they have uh sean bradley as one of the monsters he was he was the only one that i could i was like kaley was like wait who are those guys And I'm like, oh, those are all basketball players that they stole the powers from.

And she was like, well, who's, and I was like, she not seen it before. She knew, like, she had seen it, but it, you know, it may have been, I don't know, 20 years since she had seen it. Yeah. And so, okay. She knew a couple of the players who I was pretty surprised about. And then she was like, who's that?

And I'm like, ah, he was like one of like the just nondescript kind of like white guys from the 90s. It was the center. I'd look it up. Yeah. It's like, oh, shock around the. People will explain the okay podcast one day. Yeah, it's like nondescript white marine officers talking about sports like people care.

And we'll look back and say those were the good old days of podcasts. Sean Bradley. Storm and Mormon. Storm and Mormon. Who I'm pretty sure passed away. I think he. RIP. Hey.

Big movie coming out. RIP. I don't know if that's true, but I feel like you did. I heard it here first, maybe. Who is it? Sean Bradley, Mugsy Bowes, Charles Barkley. If you can name them all, you'd be impressed. Who's the Knicks?

Who's the Knicks? I'm not going to say, you got this. You got this. Who's the most famous New York Nick to you? Like, come on. The Knicks, Power for it. Oh, Dan, Divito. Yep, yep, yep.

Am I missing one? And there's one more. Wait, do you know that Danny DeVito is the voice of one of the bad guys? I do. Okay, okay, okay. Do you look it up? Yeah, because the internet, yeah, I'm looking at the cast. Yeah, when you were saying basketball players, I'm just shouting Danny DeVito.

Who did you forget? I didn't even hear what he said. Who's the fourth one? Or who's the fifth one? Larry Johnson. Larry Johnson. I want to have on that. Yeah, yeah.

Larry. He was, I feel like he was a. Texas guy from Tyler. He was big. big but didn't like people people forget about it now i think yeah no 100% yeah i forgot about he went to o'd he went to odessa college oh dessa no he was good odessa getting about texans over there trai xis uh should we bring this thing down for a landing might as well we made any save rounds there jeff i think well well did you did you want to

to talk fajitas tray? Nah, we've covered enough. Or great knee pain. Well, my knee's hurting, which is why I want to get up. Knees been bothering me. I'll give you literally why I wanted to get up right now. I was like, my knee is killing me. I'll give you the six second version.

Actually, bothered it squatting. I think I had like 385 on. I was like, that felt weird. It was my second set, so it stopped. and then if I sit in a chair it hurts or if I sit on a couch or laying in bed it hurts

if I go running it does not hurt I'm still I'm still doing my three miles a week like a real marine even though I have no commitment and if I squat it actually does like it hurts in the warmups but then like yesterday

I squatted 365 and I went in like I don't know my knees really bother me so short story for your new year's resolutionist, no, for anyone that's like stuff hurts, it's part of lifting. You'll be surprised, though. I guess what I've been thinking about this week is like it's, it's like bothering me like all the time. But I'm just so brainwashed. I'm like, well, I'm going to go lift anyway. And then it's like, well, I just squat at 365 for three sets of five. My knee didn't hurt while I was doing it. So I'm probably better off that I did that. I think.

I think. Yeah, I don't know. But I've been dealing with some knee pain. So hopefully it goes away. I don't know what it was. I definitely did it. Squatting. It's on the right side. And it hurts when I'm not using it. And when I'm using it, it feels fine. But yeah. Hopefully next week you're like, how's the knee pain? I'm like it's gone. Because it's generally how this kind of stuff works. Carnivore. Sounds like it. Carnivore. Yeah, it must be inflammation, you know. See, I go carnivore. How did I solve my knee pain? I can see the YouTube video. Yeah. A bunch of meat. Hey, rib eyes. A bunch of meat.

Walk 10,000 steps today. Last thing I want to cover is we got the new Strength Co. Coach's Raglan jacket. It's not on the outside. It snaps with the ode to our Texas podcast listeners. It's not Pearl Snaps, but it's got a little snap. If you're not watching YouTube, I'm snapping it. It's got a member's only jacket.

I like inside is fleece lined. And it's, it's lightweight. I think it's like eight ounces. It's got like a hemmed sleeve. It's got a drawstring at the bottom. And I always kind of want to do a jacket. And I say this.

I think this is a favorite piece that we've ever made for the Stranko. 100% made in USA. Great piece. Lightweight, but also like warm. Like if you, because California, you know how it gets.

It's like. 75 during the day. Why would I wear a jacket in December? And then a night, it's like, whoa, it's 42 degrees. So it's a great light week gear. It's been rain a lot, been wearing it in the rain when it rains.

It's a good piece of gear. The coach is ragging jacket. You don't be a coach to buy it. You can just go buy it. We didn't make that many of them. So get them while you can. They come in small to XL. Excuse me.

Six one. About 220 pounds. spring blue steel right now i wear an excel which is actually a little roomy it's kind of cut like the squat tea so the squat t is like a boxier fit uh for those that don't like squat t because the tighter neck which is why i actually love it obviously doesn't have that because it's a jacket uh but in terms of like the fit so if you're you know i could definitely wear large if i wanted to but i kind of like the oversized and uh baggy look and feel uh yeah go check out the uh the coach's jacket on www.thestrength.com.

I didn't really post anything anywhere, but I definitely didn't post workout videos because

I was over there defending America from China while being forced to lift with Chinese plates and it hurt my heart. So I just didn't record. And I forgot the amount of people that want to comment and talk on when you lift. And it's been really exciting. Maybe next week we'll do a little segment. on critiquing grants lifts because it's it is it is just absolutely hilarious so uh i lived down there i show a lot of like the warehouse operations stuff that's going on i show stuff of my daughter
