Starting point is 00:00:00 and welcome back to episode 45 of the unpaid and underrated podcast we are a podcast by crew for crew i'm one of your hosts big keith joined as always by my co-host here big joe hello there and special guest crew this week is big chad what's up guys how's everything going wonderful how are you doing chad what what are you drinking over there tonight buddy i am drinking a synergy raw kombucha oh nice take care of the the gut health oh yeah what about you guys i've got a little President's Choice orange cream soda, I believe. Is it cream soda or is it orange? It's orange cream soda.
Starting point is 00:00:50 I wouldn't have brought you anything that wasn't orange. It's in the strong silly pint, so it's never coming out. So I can't actually tell you what it's called. It did taste pretty damn good. It's another marketing ploy. So we just keep having to buy those cup holders that you can't get the cans out of. That's just prime throwaway culture, right? Right, yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:09 We just have to buy another one. It's very smart on the guys. It's marketing 101 right there. What about you, Joey? What you got? I've just got some still water. I had to crack into some Keith's after, but I just realized I haven't had my water intake for the day. That is always good to stay up on.
Starting point is 00:01:28 Shad, what you wearing, buddy? I am wearing the Masonomics Lift Evil Collab Raise Hell Lift Heavy. Very nice. It's one of my favorites. I wish that still fit me. I still have have mine but it doesn't fit me anymore i'm rocking at the i'm rocking at the bench and somehow i thought it was march for some reason in my head i was like hey it's it's uh it's march 16th i'm
Starting point is 00:01:57 gonna wear this shirt and i think yesterday i like just automatically shared someone's story referencing like you know three austin 316 or I'm like, I don't know where the fuck that came from or why it was in my feed. And then, uh, says, and he had to message me and I was like, you know, it's, uh, you know, it's not a March, right? And he was like, oh yeah. So just in honor of my, uh, kerfuffle there, I'll just go ahead and wear the bench and three 16 shirt. And, uh, in, in May.
Starting point is 00:02:20 Yes. It's because Austin three 16 says I just whooped your ass and that is irrelevant all year round it's true it's true i am wearing the all go no show shirt uh because i showered and it fit i was wearing my huck finn barbell shirt all day when i was shopping at the country store and i was just like yeah that's the one country store that's's just like you're like a, like a, like your farm goods and shit. Or what are you talking about?
Starting point is 00:02:50 No, I didn't go to the farm goods. I went like, uh, there's a whole thing going on up here with supermarkets. So I won't get political. Um, but we're trying to find alternative places.
Starting point is 00:03:00 Uh, yeah, exactly. So we're trying to find, um, alternative places to shop that are not really owned by the big monopolies up here and um i've always known about this place it's called the highland uh meat packers and people are always like i can't believe you don't go there already
Starting point is 00:03:15 you live so close but i was just like well the other place is closer and more convenient but we went out there today and like damn damn it. Like they have like the butcher right there. I even think there's a slaughterhouse attached. Like your meat's coming fresh off that floor. Everything there is at least competitively or better priced. It's all local Ontario goods. Like it's essentially like a farmer's market. And yeah, I'm kind of in love with the place.
Starting point is 00:03:42 Nice. Surprised that's something you hadn't already ventured out to. Is it a hall? Can you get a good look at a butcher by sticking your head up a cow's ass? Nice. Well, you had a little bit of a trip last week, Joey. Where'd you go? I know you were on vacation and you ended up somewhere special.
Starting point is 00:04:02 And anything good there? Yeah, I went to a tgi fridays for the first time that fucking sucked yeah i've been there once i would not have maybe the last place i'd recommend someone to stay at or to eat at that is yeah no no i ended up at your place um yeah so you got me i did i surprised you good steven messaged me originally and was like, yo, let's surprise Keith at his open gym at his next open gym. And I was like, yeah, okay. And then you posted when it was. So I booked the week off.
Starting point is 00:04:34 I was like, why wouldn't I? Like, that sounds like a fun deal. It's two hours away. You'd be stupid not to, right? Yeah. And Steve goes, no, wait. I thought he was doing it the next week. I was like, well, I'm already off i'm going yeah so i showed up to your place um learned that my son really likes long distance
Starting point is 00:04:55 drives my daughter does not um my son hates getting to the place that we're going after the long distance drive and my girl does not so like for two hours he's an angel but the moment it's like buddy you got to get out of the car to go to the hotel no and she's just like i want out of the car right now that was really fun so yeah got to your place um learned some bodybuilding poses uh with yeah with uh was that abby or ali yeah ali i was first yeah it's first time i'd met her that was uh wayne's uh new girlfriend yeah um did a a 10 rpe uh supposed to be three and i had four in me and i i don't know if i told you uh i nearly passed out and that's the first time I've ever got lightheaded deadlifting but I was like no this fourth is going up
Starting point is 00:05:48 like if you want 100% out of me this fourth is going up and then just for no reason I was like I think Wayne pulled 405 and I was like yeah like three people pulled 405 like unrelated to like their training that night just yeah it was just like I like if you're doing it I want to do it so I did it too after
Starting point is 00:06:03 doing the rpe 10 four reps um played with your log which was fun yeah that was like i was looking forward to that yeah it was a good time i'm still still learning the log myself but that was cool to see uh chris give us some pointers on that yep yep we wanted to play with some grip time but the kids like their dinner time was pushing it. Next time I come, I won't, I just won't bring the kids, but I just didn't, I just didn't think it was fair to be like, bye family. I'm leaving.
Starting point is 00:06:39 No, as everyone knows, I'm, I'm not a fan of surprises, but that was kind of cool. I was, you know, we were a half hour or so into the workout. And with my open gyms, it's kind of like a five to eight window. And I have people that show up at like four fifty nine. I have people that show up at like six twenty and just catch the last bit, the last tidbit. So it's not really a shock to hear people coming down the stairs for like a two hour window there. What was kind of weird is I, you you know i heard a bunch of people upstairs
Starting point is 00:07:05 but i was like okay this has got to be like my you know the the set a pair of my friends that come as a couple and i was like okay they're just being really loud today but maybe she's just in the bathroom i was so confused i was like a lot of footsteps right above me and then uh next thing i know i got this little fucking uh little joey coming down my stairs knocking over my goddamn stuff and got a cooler full of beer and is ready to go. He just took some pre-workout and some ammonia and was fucking, you know, silk silkies and a fucking cut off ready to rock and roll. Fucking full sun, but, you know, didn't didn't warm up and literally was like, where's your dad lift bar? And I was just like, I got to go. Let's get you. Let's get you set up.
Starting point is 00:07:42 Yeah, good time. It was very cool. I think Stephanie and Morgan and the kids hung out upstairs for a couple hours. Got to know each other. I hope I wasn't rude, Keith. I'm actually curious to talk to you. I thought I was... I try to be as hospitable as possible, but it's also like I got to do my lift. I got to...
Starting point is 00:08:01 No, you were wonderful. My man. You were wonderful and accommodating. I tried not to be overly silly during your lifts, but in between your lifts, I'm fairly certain I pissed you off. No, no,
Starting point is 00:08:13 it was fun. I definitely, I don't think it's the last time that'll happen. No, it's all good. No. Yeah. I'm,
Starting point is 00:08:19 I'm very task oriented. It's like, like I'm, I have like my five minute window with 10 minute window between breaks. I'm just kind of, or between lifts. I'm like, all right, when it's what, like, you know, cause half people are always like, window between breaks i'm just kind of between lifts i'm like all right who needs what like you know because half people are
Starting point is 00:08:27 always like what bar do i use for this or what bar do i use for that or where's this and i'm always like yep like this this this and uh what else was one more thing i was gonna say oh our our tandem well it wasn't really tandem our our our our you know our our massonomics inspired via huck finn because you know uh we like to stare at each other you know stare at each other's eyes while they deadlift and squat and stuff so joey and i did a little uh it just happened to be like we were he was deadlifting like you know 10 feet in front of me and i was rack pulling and i was like well let's just go together and get to make a you know funny video and uh you know it was actually kind of cool because i think it motivated him to get
Starting point is 00:09:00 that extra rep and i got a couple extra reps in me uh i was only just do like a top set of top you know an easy triple and i was like wow fuck it i need to train for this uh 425 for 60 seconds so i think i went for about 30 seconds and it's like oh god damn 60 seconds it's gonna be hard yeah to get my cardio up because like i could rep that out all day if i like you know took very sick it's not a heavy weight by any means but fuck 60 seconds of and i'm very curious if how the rack pull versus the you know the the elevated you know rack uh the wagon yeah there it's like wagon wheels on a platform kind of thing like elevate you know so it's going to be you know the rebar the reverb of the barbell is going to be a little bit different so but kind of is what it is but i'm looking forward to that and uh you know anyone
Starting point is 00:09:43 you know any anybody listening the next time you're in western new york and you know you and you need a free day pass to a gym just hit me up oh and the fucking bugs in the front of my car by the time i got oh and dear you guys have so many deer and the best part would be like it was like pokeroo with morgan so we'd be driving and obviously i'm watching the road but i would also be kind of like looking for deer to make sure they're not going to run in front of my car right like that's the number one reason to look for deer when you're driving is to make sure they're not being idiots but i'd be like deer deer but it would always be when she would do something else so i'd be like i'd be like can you ask oran to stop kicking me please and she would
Starting point is 00:10:23 turn and she'd go oran and then i'd go deer she said damn it and then it'd be like i'm like where are we right now can you just check the map and she'd go to look at the map and go here and he just kept going that way i think she only saw one of like the seven i saw and then yeah i had to wash the car when we got home the fucking bugs i it was disgusting it wasn't south north dakota bad but it was pretty bad i had to get the sponge out like the the abrasive sponge i would say you guys that's one thing i'm worried about with the uh this new venture i'm doing with the uh you know the above ground uh gym that i'm you know working out in every now and then is once i start getting the fucking bitten by bugs like i'm shutting.
Starting point is 00:11:05 I got to do something. I don't know. I got to get one of those fucking candles. Not a big mosquito guy? No. If you are, I definitely recommend going to Tanner's house on Friday. But if not, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:11:16 But basically, I haven't had an issue yet, but it's because it's still springtime. So I'm assuming it's going to get worse in the summer. I don't know. So DM me anyone that's got really good advice on how to keep the bugs off you when you're training outside. I'm not getting a fucking screen for my standalone garage. All right.
Starting point is 00:11:35 So you are a bachelor this week, I heard. It was very important that you did that open gym right before Steph left for a week. Well, yeah. Well, so that's actually kind of part of the funny story is I wasn't going to do it that week, but my really good friends that like kind of like that I kind of started the Friday night lift thing a couple years for because, you know, they're pretty religious and don't make it on Sundays. So they were only ever really making it on like an off Sunday lift thing. So I was just like, all right,
Starting point is 00:12:01 let's just, you know, I used to coordinate with them pretty regularly, like what work, what weekend worked with them. and that was like the only weekend ahead that would work with them and i hadn't seen him for a few months because she just had a kid and it just had been like bad timing but i think we got our wires crossed so like big steve she thought it was next weekend so like my you know so that's the only literally the only reason i i chose to keep it the week uh like the day before i had to take stephanie to the airport because i felt really shitty about that but it was like the only weekend that was going to work for my other friends and then they completely like forgot about it and had the wrong date in the calendar so it was kind of shitty situation uh it was more laughable looking
Starting point is 00:12:36 back at it but yes that is why that yeah i would normally would not have done that to stephanie but you know i hadn't seen my friends in like literal months. That's all right. That's all right. And now she's gone for a week and you're just. Yeah. Yeah. You're just smacking it in every room. Just same.
Starting point is 00:12:53 You know, it's Saturday. No, I dropped her off Saturday and she's picking her up Friday night. These cats are fucking so much work. Like I took for granted how much work she does with the cats. Like I pretty much would feed them like once a day and she would like, and I would feed them once a day and I would take the litter outside when the litter box was full. She did pretty much everything else.
Starting point is 00:13:15 So just dealing with, I got one cat that's super finicky and like, she just doesn't want to eat quick. So when we put out the wet food, like twice a day, like the other cat just fucking eats both helpings unless I put the, know the aggressive one in a separate room and it's just it's such a fucking task and i'm like like i gotta get up and go to work and i usually give myself like fucking 20 minutes to get showered and fed and out the door now it's like i gotta get an extra
Starting point is 00:13:36 20 minutes just to take care of the fucking cats so very much looking forward to having my partner back and now you know why i didn't simply leave morgan and the kids at home when i came down yeah because like that's a lot of work for me to simply go well i'm gonna go lift with my friends yeah i'm doing that already in july i don't want to do it again no that makes sense to me that makes sense uh let's rate ken is it ken's episode kevin yeah yeah ken from cerberus yeah big chad you've been talking so much but i guess we'll give you the platform one more time what did you think about last week's episode of the massonomics podcast um you know audio issues aside i thought it was a good it was a good episode um i thought it was an interesting i'd love to hear him on again it's like a to get like a full-on actual massonominomics episode. I know it wasn't
Starting point is 00:14:25 a legit one. The audio thing kind of hurt a little bit, hurt him a little, but I will give five Mastinomics GM app. It's a good rating. I listened to it live
Starting point is 00:14:42 in person, not live on the Discord, not live on YouTube, but front row seat pretty much at home gym con. It was very cool. Did not have the technical difficulties, you know, when you're live. So I'd recommend anyone that, you know, had an issue with the technical difficulties, just go to home gym con next year. I mean, Mass Comics probably won't be there, but, you know, somebody will be and they'll have a podcast going on. Code unpaid. But yeah, all in all,, uh, I had met Ken the day before, uh, she shot the shit a little bit. Um, I was trying to, I tried on a couple, um, soft belts and just talking about some sandbags and whatnot. So it's kind of cool to, you know, listen to someone talk to that. I had like, you
Starting point is 00:15:19 know, shots before for a few minutes a day before. So all in all, Oh God god since i didn't buy anything off of them i mean i don't know if i should take a point away or not but i guess i'll go ahead and keep keep it the five out of five masonomics app touches uh i guess that's that's up to me now so i'm pretty familiar with servers they do a lot a lot up here as well so i guess it's like part of their business part of their business practice is that they they just really give back to the community. So in almost all of the meets I've been to, whether I attended or lifted in, Cerberus was there. But that's not his version. Obviously, this is Cerberus Canada, right?
Starting point is 00:15:56 So I was vaguely familiar with what was going on there. You know, listening to the Scottish accent for a little while doesn't hurt either love me a Scottish accent did I get all the way through the episode no my Apple did that thing it likes to do where I'm two thirds of the way through and then it goes oh you're done and just like deletes it out of my library
Starting point is 00:16:17 so with all of that said I'm going to go five out of five Massonomics iPod Jim touches it's a decent average there's been a lot of big math I'm going to go five out of five Mathnomics iPod gym touches. That's a decent average. There's been a lot of big math talk in the Discord, so those guys that keep complaining about big math and all that, we'll let them figure out the average of that
Starting point is 00:16:34 and let us know. They really came after me and Tyler for our anti-algebra. Yeah. Let's get on with it. Why are there letters in it anyway so they made they made reference to how many engineers and i remember to think like there are a lot of engineers and i mean it's a i mean i guess there's a lot of different types of
Starting point is 00:16:56 engineers but uh yeah there's a lot of people that have engineer in their job title that have been on the podcast so i am using well see you know i guess what a lot of us forget is uh lifting is essentially it's a nerd sport it's a fucking nerd sport that's why you and your spreadsheets i'm you know as much as we make fun of you and your spreadsheets and all that kind of stuff like it is really because you're tracking everything you're tracking your macros you're tracking your lifts now we're tracking velocity the hell like i don't i'm not doing it i just started doing it today and then i was like i am bad at this brother i'm not doing this anymore um are you using the uh jug part okay cool it was free with my subscription too so i was like why put pencil to paper you you couldn't afford not to and uh
Starting point is 00:17:45 yeah so like at the end of the day it is a fucking nerd sport so obviously people that are into math are probably into lifting of some sort right uh so that that does make sense to me um i did want to move on a little bit and talk about somebody who i left out last week when we were announcing the winners and uh and you know his his submission was late it's it's big Nate his submission was a little late and I don't think he got included because of that but I did want to point out that it was a one of mine uh he chose my draft uh and at the end of it like he didn't use chalk for all of it and at the end of the video he spit chalk like he filled his mouth with chalk for this video and you know i i kind of felt bad that i
Starting point is 00:18:31 didn't get to mention him you know with that much commitment to it so big shout out to nate man thank you for uh thank you for submitting sorry it was a it was like a day or so late or something so that's why i didn't make it into the into the submissions drafts but that was a good video very well done yep appreciate you and everyone else that submitted to that i think that uh shows that we can definitely do some more stuff like that in the future if everyone wants to help out though uh maybe get a bigger response from crew next time but you know 13 out of 400 i guess hidden horrible 14 actually i guess if we can't be uh and i don't even know if it was i i went back and looked and i did reshare it. One of us reshared it
Starting point is 00:19:05 as a story, but I never made it to the highlight. And when I compiled all the lists, I went to my story highlight and it just, you know, accidentally didn't make it there. So sorry, buddy. We'll get you next year. Alright. Chad, do you have a chance to watch the Bells of Steel YouTube video that came out yesterday,
Starting point is 00:19:24 I believe? Actually, I just watched it before we went live. chance to watch the uh the bells of steel youtube video that came out yesterday i believe actually i just watched it before we we went live so i knew we were going to talk about it it was it was interesting to see you know that cave on and bells of steel are they're kind of like the mad scientists of weightlifting and home gyms they come up with. I thought that treadmill. Or excuse me. Dreadmill was pretty interesting. My only question is. Will it fit up under a bed? If it's collapsible.
Starting point is 00:19:52 I'm not sure if that was collapsible. Yeah. I enjoyed the video. I watched so much. I watched so much YouTube videos today. I had a long break at lunch. At work. And I watched.
Starting point is 00:20:04 There was a home gym con podcast with the roundtable recap that you know uh jake and some of the guys did and then the massonomics video and glucks video like they all hit my feed because i don't think i watched any youtube the last couple days they all like i had like three of them in my feed ready to go today fuck it's like two hours so i consumed a lot of uh you know a lot of home gym slash mass economics content today. But yeah, it was cool to see Kayvon have a lot more passion. I know I've been known to be a ball buster of him and his lack of passion towards his company on the last episode that he did with them. But I guess looking back on it, I think it was like the middle of the night when he recorded, at least for his time or something, at least what he was saying.
Starting point is 00:20:43 So to see him actually actually have an energetic attitude and opinion, and the fact that he spent all that money to get his crew out there and to bring the boys out and to bring Gluck and Winnie out. He's definitely redeemed himself in my eyes, so it's cool to see. It's nice to have all that back on good grace. It makes life
Starting point is 00:21:01 easier when I don't have to be angry with people. It's very important that a million dollar company that spreads internationally has Keith Honeycutt's favor. I can see how... What does Keith always say? Influencers something. Influencers?
Starting point is 00:21:22 There's a quote there somewhere. Have I addressed that yet like have I said anything on the podcast about that because I think it was it wasn't a YouTube video that it was in where I just yeah it was in yeah it was in the mass on this YouTube video no okay I think the really important thing I want to point out about you
Starting point is 00:21:41 trying to quote me and failing is I've never fucking said that you always say that about me so you're like what does joey always say what you were trying to say was influencers influencing influencers but that's not my phrase that's your phrase no it's like must be i think it's carps or the crew somebody in the crew always says it. Somebody says it about me all the time. I've clearly never spoken those words before. Yeah. Somebody says it about me and you at least.
Starting point is 00:22:11 I was just like... It's your version of I'll be up after my thing. I really don't know what was said. Nice working. I like it. Alright. I'm ready to move on.
Starting point is 00:22:24 Look at him trying to get this thing yeah that thing is a it was a wide awake nightmare no what do you rate that was this your first one or did you uh if if i had it before i couldn't really remember uh so on a scale of one to five because that's what we do it or is this a glaze so on the glaze scale it's an a well n Well, Nate doesn't like when I go point, you know, fuck Nate. So it's an 8.5 out of 10, or it's a 4.25 out of 5. Very nice. That's pretty good.
Starting point is 00:22:55 I enjoyed it. And that is the President's Choice orange cream soda. I was going to read the French side, but I didn't want to, you know. Soda mousse à la orange. Soda mousse à la orange. You also tried Keith's while I was there. I brought you guys some. That was really good.
Starting point is 00:23:15 I know I said it in the moment, but I still believe it. It tasted like a Heineken, like a, like a, like a light Heineken kind of maybe. It was also after like a three hour workout and I would have, anything would have tasted amazing at that point. So if they, if it tastes like that, always, I could see drinking those.
Starting point is 00:23:28 What is it? Is it like a, where's it at on the scale of like how heavy of a beer, I guess, like versus, uh, I think if you go back to, um,
Starting point is 00:23:39 the October episode where scants came on and gave us a little bit of background, uh, I started as an India pale ale as an IPA, which is the ones that we always mock that taste like grapefruit farts. But when they got a little more commercial and had to start shipping and spreading all over the place, I think they switched a little bit to more of a lager. Now, most basic beers are lagers your Coors Lights your Coors your Molson Canadians
Starting point is 00:24:09 like all of these kind of what we would call um domestic beers most of those are lagers so even though it's labeled as an IPA it technically is not so it would be closer to those basic beers uh except for Budweiser Budweiser since it is not. So it would be closer to those basic beers, except for Budweiser. Budweiser, since it is not made with it doesn't have any gluten, from what I understand. It's actually made with rice. It falls
Starting point is 00:24:37 a little bit differently from a standard lager. I enjoyed it. I can see why you have it as your beer of choice, but I don't know how it would be. Is it available all over Canada or is it? It's, it's pretty standard all over Canada. I've,
Starting point is 00:24:52 I've been from everywhere from East coast to Alberta and I can always get my hands on a Keith's whether that's in on tap is different, but if you go to a liquor store or a beer store or grocery store in most provinces, you can get it. I've got a trip to Alberta coming up in the next next couple months and i just want to try it while i'm up just want to make sure i'm not missing out i also picked up some coors banquet while i was down there i don't know if we've talked about this before
Starting point is 00:25:19 but i always talk about how up here it's called Coors Original. And I couldn't figure out why and nobody could tell me. And somebody was explaining recently it's because when you buy a Coors Banquet, it's made fresh. But when they make it up here, they're making it like they make other imports where they just send the syrup and then they add it and make it a beer after. And the banquet people said, you can't label it that if that's what you're doing. So Akura's Banquet and Akura's Original have the exact same branding model, except that word.
Starting point is 00:25:53 It's kind of crazy. Banquet's better. Sorry, Original. We'll be sure to let them know that Big Joey Malesko has an opinion about it. And he can go fuck himself. Like I can go fuck myself. You asshole.
Starting point is 00:26:11 Big Chad, you got an ad read for us. The turntables have turned. Yeah. Fuck that one up. All right, buddy. You got an ad read for us.
Starting point is 00:26:19 Now that I've talked about it. No. Yeah. So if you're a fan of lifting, but also a fan of nothing, boy, do I have a podcast for you. Out of the ashes arose of Aberdeen strength training arising like a fiery phoenix came Masonomics. The favorite podcast of Aberdeen Magazine and the best beer parody shirts on the market. And as a risk management professional, safety professional, strong advocates for drink safety in the gym. You can't go wrong with that. Get yourself a drink spotter.
Starting point is 00:26:59 Become crew because it is like Joey said, man, you find your tribe, your silly geese. It's, it's, it's nice to, to have people that you can kind of unplug with sort of at the end of the day. And everybody's just trying to make each other. And, you know, just people I've met in my travels across, you know, meeting Keith, working out in No Wine Cellar to Big Ryan, which hopefully he didn't pass on his Space Jam to me when I met him. You know, all these people that you just kind of run into. It's great, man. So sign up. Join crew.
Starting point is 00:27:38 Do it. Thank you. Well done. That's a fair sentiment that I think most of us believe in. Thank you. Well done. Good. That's a fair sentiment that I think most of us, you know, believe in. And that's at massnomics.com slash join is how you will join crew when you are ready. That is the rumor. We have it just there's it's always cool. And there's like someone joins and you actually know them already. Like that's happened to me a couple of times recently where it's like, oh, that's my homie. You know, it's like I just I don't know it's just something about that it's
Starting point is 00:28:05 just extra special to be like all right cool like we finally indoctrinated you like you saw our stories and shit for the past couple years and you're like all right let me uh let me let me let me dip my toes into this so i always feel a little bit more special about that when it's actually like because it's like you guys i see all these names i'm like i don't know who the fuck it is and there's gonna be like six months till i probably have a conversation with them and it's just like you're just another person but you conversation with them. And it's just like, you're just another person. But, you know, because it's it's just been like a
Starting point is 00:28:29 guy a day now or, you know, a new crew a day seems like so. But that's good for the boys. Let them line their pockets with $2 bills. All right. Should we get our guest on the horn then? Yeah, we should kick everybody out. I think Carp's still in there. We'll kick his ass out.
Starting point is 00:28:46 All right. Our guest is waiting. Hey, Big Chad, is that you? It's me, Gus. What's going on? Welcome. You are live on Unpaid and Underrated, the podcast about crew, for crew, by crew, and relentlessly mocked by the Davids. You're kind of familiar with what's going on,
Starting point is 00:29:08 so I think we can dive right in, make sure we don't miss out on any gold. So I'm going to ask the first question. What's your Hall of Fame status? See, I think I've hit five. Very nice. I looked at it before I left. I'm not home because I checked my car before I left. I'm not home because I checked my car
Starting point is 00:29:25 before I left. I made five or six. Well, this will be another one. And then when I, you know, July, the lift hardly.
Starting point is 00:29:34 Do you, do you want to confirm while we're here? Like I can list them and you can tell me which ones are going. Yeah, let's do that.
Starting point is 00:29:42 Okay. So have you attended a lift hard, live easy? No. Okay. Have have you attended a lift hard live easy no okay have you competed at a lift hard live easy have you attended the arnold i have not have you attended crew falls no supporting member for one year yes supporting member for two years Do you own a drink spotter?

Starting point is 00:30:29 another supporting member? Yes. Lifted at the Mathonomics gym? No. And listened to the first 400 episodes? No. So you're at seven! I'm working on it.
Starting point is 00:30:44 So you're at seven. You're better on it. So you're at seven. You're better than you thought you were walking into this. That a boy. Good work. As much as you've... Just over a year of being a member of... Oh, that's pretty damn good. That's funny that we haven't done that yet on here. No, yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:02 I still gotta find my part, too. I think, i don't know we had to go back and listen i may be the first one to appear on the main podcast or excuse me the sister podcast and now i'm on yeah that's the spirit that's the spirit you have to do what like dodds and and everybody did is get a shirt made up or something like that. It's definitely going in the Instagram bio. Well, Chad, you said you've been here for about a year. So, you know, is it you just crew for a year or did you just stumble into Mastanomics?
Starting point is 00:31:34 I want to hear your whole Mastanomics lore when you first found them, crew, et cetera. Yeah, like my Mastanomics origin story is I've been listening for a while. I'm a late adopter to everything. I like to just wait things out. But I found them like I hear a lot of people, a lot of crew through starting strength and rip it to his podcast. I remember the guys, I think they came on his. And then I think maybe like a year later, they had him on as an interview.
Starting point is 00:32:06 And I listened like not long after they were on. I didn't really get it at first. I'm like, why are they just talking? Why are they not interviewing the guy first? You know, so I didn't really get it. But then I finally like dove in. And I think I said it in the Discord one time that the Evan Cardone episode was my first one. in the discord one time that the evan cardone episode was my first one and everybody's like oh man i'm glad you stuck with it because apparently he was not an easy guess but he
Starting point is 00:32:30 was a little strange but i saw how they were handled him and how they handled uh rip and in his way so i thought well these guys i'll just keep listening eventually get some of the inside jokes because i'd love to be a part of one someday i finally started some of them i still don't get but you know some of the older ones but that's why i'm trying to work oh i did a bad catalog it just takes which one give me give me one example we'll see if we can help you out uh oh the one um i was thinking of the whole, what is it? The Rob Schneider's Tommy Schneider. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:33:09 I don't think I've ever laughed so hard at that podcast as I did that day. I think that's just something Tommy said because his name is Schneider. I don't even think there's a bit there. I don't think there's any like. No, no. It was just stupid. Yeah. I don't think there's any like No No It was It was just stupid Yeah And that's what made it So damn perfect
Starting point is 00:33:28 Is was I just don't remember There was a backstory to that I don't know No God no Tanner Tea kettle whistle laughing
Starting point is 00:33:36 Yeah And And It was It was Tanner corpsing And then saying It's so fucking stupid And that's when I broke because one of my guys at work
Starting point is 00:33:48 do that all the time whenever i just like make like a very immature dick joke or your mom joke wait like you make dick jokes you're allowed to do that uh i am getting mocked for my dick jokes and you're i am very good at dick jokes. I always joke... I always say I'm going to write a book called The Subtle Art of the Dick Joke. Parentheses, how that's what she said ruined the dick joke. Because it's so...
Starting point is 00:34:16 Yeah. Everybody's so lazy. There's a very good dick joke there and somebody will just go, that's what she said and everybody goes, ha ha ha, because it's a reference. But no, there's ways in which to incorporate penis I didn't know how to finish that sentence
Starting point is 00:34:35 I challenge you to work one penis into this episode at some point Joey I already did you're here eloquent penis joke I hope that's the title of the episode Eloquent penis joke. I hope that's the title of the episode. Eloquent penis jokes. I'm disappointed. We completely forgot about Ash Ash fault and asphalt last week when Nate was asking about the episode titles.
Starting point is 00:34:56 I was like, oh, ass asphalt would have been a good one. But it all worked out. So, Big Chad, I know you like to change your username every two weeks and your Instagram name. So why don't you tell the people where they can find you, what your Instagram handle is and all that. Yeah, what the fuck is that? I've only changed it twice. I was Big Chad GPT for a while because, you know, the chat. And then when I was on the sister podcast, Tanner and Tommy were making the jokes about the hanging Chad. So I just changed my username to Big Hanging Chad.
Starting point is 00:35:24 That explains so much well i was so confused because i have another chad massnomics adjacent and i was just like that's not who i'm interviewing tonight like yes what the fuck well i haven't when i post a story i always try to tag the person like really big i expect you to click on that in the future joey and make sure you're following them damn it i am no no i follow chad okay but i have another chad i follow and then when it wasn't chad gpt anymore i gotcha oh i got you now i got to double check i'm fairly certain i follow you well see honestly like i almost when i changed it to big hanging chad um i almost changed it back a couple days later to match my Instagram handle. But I was like, this is going to throw Keith for a loop.
Starting point is 00:36:08 So I'm going to just sit on this for a while. Marinate before I change it. At least it has Chad in the title, which is better than what I can say about most people's fucking handles. At least your name is somewhere in there. You just keep fucking with the adjacent parts of it. So BigChad, where do you live and where are you from? somewhere in there you just keep you know fucking with the adjacent parts of it so uh big chad wow where uh where do you live and where are you from so i am from born and raised still live there in talladega alabama roll tide roll tide roll tide always throws me a loop when Joey posts Roll Tide. And I was like, oh, wait.
Starting point is 00:36:48 Because I don't know things. So, yeah, Talladega. Everybody else pronounces it wrong. All the natives know how to pronounce Talladega. It's not Talladega or Talladega. So that's a big, contentious point with us. Wait, how do you say it then? One more time?
Starting point is 00:37:03 Talladega. Like you dig a hole. Diggy, diggy hole diggy holes never said that word once in my life like that no so you're not a fan of will ferrell movies right and who that's that's someone i the the the hatchet was only buried on instagram and in real life it's still but yeah i was born and raised in there so i can't tell i have a little bit of an accent i don't feel like i do until i get out of the south oh there it is i'm speaking cornbread i imagine you get asked that a lot because with your i'm assuming with your job you travel a lot you want to tell me what you do sure i'm in uh risk, which is a fancy word for saying I can't really tell people what I do.
Starting point is 00:37:46 No, I deal with insurance, all the alphabetical government agencies, OSHA, EPA, DOT, all that. Well, we do a lot of stuff. I just tell everyone we're like the industrial Amazons. If you need conveyor belts, pumps, gears. But on the safety side, why are you always traveling then like are you doing are you setting up deals are you doing like writing people's like what you don't have to go into it that much i'm just no more curious so i go through like a visit different sites that we have that maybe they've had a lot of injury, so you're traveling to your own facilities. You're not traveling to sell shit or to teach stuff. Well, I mean, okay.
Starting point is 00:38:30 I got you. And then we're also – I have this big project we're putting – it's a very popular project. We're putting cameras in all of our company-owned – I would love that, actually. Yeah, everybody's loving it right now. So I'm very popular. Yeah, no. everybody's loving it right now so i'm very popular yeah no i i would only i only i guess i said that uh prematurely because we have we just hired a new staff that um likes to vape in the trucks even though we're not supposed to and it's like like fuck off with this like i forced
Starting point is 00:38:56 my boss to buy no vaping no smoking fucking stickers to put in all the trucks and he's like why and i'm like because i fucking know they're vaping in there when i'm not there because i can fucking smell it when I get in after. But then, yeah. So the idea of having a camera in the truck to keep them from doing that would be great. But all the shit that I say about my company in the truck, I don't. Oh, my God. Just like the road rage fucking tantrums that I would get on if I'm driving by myself. I don't need that to be fucking recorded for nobody. I'm I'm a bit of a huge fan of how you just admitted that people are
Starting point is 00:39:25 breaking the law on your job. So let's go ahead and move on from that. I know they're smoking in there. So will we see you in July? You will see me in July. Yeah, buddy.
Starting point is 00:39:46 I went back and watched the recap videos from last year. A couple of the other day ago, I just got super pumped. Nice. And you're doing powerlifting? I am, yeah. That strong stuff is not for me. Is that going to be your first meet, or have you done some meets in the past? I've done like a little local
Starting point is 00:40:05 unsanctioned thing, but nothing ever. So unsanctioned means you've never done a meet. So this will be your first meet. This will be your first total. That's pretty awesome. I'd be excited if I were you. It's going to be fun. It'll be your first chance to get in line on OpenPowerLifting.com. So that'll be cool.
Starting point is 00:40:22 For sure. And you had mentioned Juggernaut. So I'm assuming you're doing a Juggernaut peak right now then? So how's training going? Yeah, I'm finishing. This is the last week of hypertrophy. Then I'll deload. And then we start strength block.
Starting point is 00:40:36 Nice. I've got one of the most extended strength blocks I've ever done. Really? Yeah, I did about two weeks of hypertrophy. And then I'm running something stupid like six weeks of strength and I'm no I I prefer it I hate hypertrophy oh I do too god how raps yeah that's insane volume and I think Joe at at your gym there Keith was saying like like I signed on for juggernaut and it put me into this hypertrophy and i hated it so much i quit
Starting point is 00:41:05 and i wanted to tell them like yeah but that's the biggest i've ever been right i hate that is the most muscle definition the largest widest strongest i've ever looked was doing that hypertrophy bullshit as much as i hate it and complain about it 24-7. Yeah, you get kind of jacked doing that stuff all the time. It's not easy, though. God, I hate it. Like I said, those high reps, high volume sets. I'm ready to go back to threes and fives. Five is high volume.
Starting point is 00:41:35 What are you talking about? Five is high volume. I just don't understand. It's like, why am I testing my... That's what I didn't like about hypertrophy. You're doing a six rep, 10 RPE test. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:50 And then immediately doing seven more sets of sixes. And you're like, what do you think I'm going to get out of this? If I truly gave it all in my RPE 10, then I'm exhausted. Yeah. I'm gassed. Why are you making me do four more sets yeah like then i'm not giving it my all if i have anything left but again we also just learned i might be stupid and pull 405 after doing that so i might just go ahead and do a four plate pull for no reason it's good for you it is good for you and then the next day did the ggc yeah that's one thing i was just going to mention we forgot to have that in our
Starting point is 00:42:31 general topic so yeah joey did the garage gym competition i did the garage gym competition a whole bunch of crew have so yeah by the time this comes out it's already over so you missed your chance but there'll be another there'll be another one in the fall and uh joe does a bunch of mini wins too so get on that you know there's always some prizes hell i mean literally if you do it just to get some prizes you know it's like no one cares what the fuck you lift like scans scans lifted he benched a log which i thought he was gonna like bench the log with his hands on the handles but he like fucking like flat palmed the underside of the log that's smooth and just like fucking pressed it up and i was like
Starting point is 00:43:05 my god that's the most awkward like it was out of a rack but it was like out of a off safeties if you will but i was like fuck that looked like i almost want to try that but i'm not taking my log into the basement so i don't i don't have a rack in the garage but that was very interesting so shout out to scans for that yeah i, my total was probably like 600 pounds because I was so gassed from driving, lifting, driving that I got that, I got 315 up during that and I was just like, no, we are done. Yeah, I couldn't have deadlifted back-to-back days like that.
Starting point is 00:43:41 Even going from like, going like 90% and then having to pull 75% the next day. Fuck you, no thanks. thanks yeah also beltless i think i only wore the belt for the 405 and i don't think i needed it oh yeah you did after your am rep your or your where your you set a four you're like i forgot to wear my belt on i was like that sucks there's like seven belts here could have lent you if you needed one i had my belt it was right in front of me don't need them anymore. No.
Starting point is 00:44:06 Okay, we'll do it live. So you've got the Lift Heavy Raise Hell shirt. And you said you've been crew for about a year. Is there anything that you ever look back on and wish, man, I wish I'd been around for that? Yeah, for some reason, I wish I would have gotten the Raw Power Crew Next sweatshirt. I loved it. And me being, again, a late adapter, I wish I would have gotten the raw power Kurnix Fletcher. I loved it, and me being
Starting point is 00:44:28 again a late adapter, I'm like, of course it sold out. I was really hoping they would bring it back this year. Not heard about it. I would like to see them bring in some Lyft sweatpants or something. I think they had joggers a long time ago, but it was either right when I got to enter I would like to see them bring in some Lyft sweatpants or something. I think they've done it a long time ago, but it was either right when I got in or even pre-me, maybe.
Starting point is 00:44:55 Wait, so have we done this before? The difference between sweatpants, joggers? I don't think so. Oh, okay. But I think I just got my first pair of joggers the other day, and I was like, oh, okay. Because I'm fucking 5'8 and fat as shit, so sweatpants don't really fit me. Because to get ones with big enough ass,
Starting point is 00:45:12 they're made for a 6'6 guy. But with joggers, they just taper down to my feet. I was like, okay, I can actually walk in these without falling. So is that the difference? Is the tapering around the ankles? I'm guessing. I think so. I think that's what it is.
Starting point is 00:45:28 That's what I define as the taper around the jogger. If it goes like a straight leg, it's a sweat. Okay, what about shorts that are made of the same material? Are they sweat shorts? I would assume so. Like the Lyft 2.0? Yeah. No, no, I have some from the body breakout thing i did they're literally the same material as sweatpants like they're fleece and then lift hard be kind is gonna they just released something they're called comfort shorts but they're just fleece shorts
Starting point is 00:45:59 so that's fun go ahead crew and and and input on that one because i i agree actually for once with you guys i think sweatpants are for lounging and joggers be for working and the joggers would be the tapers around the around the ankles indeed um so chad with all your travels you'd mentioned coming up to the no wine cellar and you met big, big, big Iowa Ryan. Anybody else you've crossed paths with? Any other crew that you've been able to? No. Well, I just look at something in Kansas City tonight.
Starting point is 00:46:36 I was scrolling Discord earlier and I remember there's a big joke from Casey. I was like, well, damn it. I'm in Casey tonight. I didn't even think to hit him up or I don't even know if he still is in case do you reference kevin's map ever like i know it might be a little out of date now dude i'll yeah definitely i think i have it uh i have it saved in my my browser so yeah definitely check that out um and especially wasn't much to travel well you didn't yeah i think you met big chris mark when you were here, right? He was. Yeah, yeah. So there's another crew.
Starting point is 00:47:06 He didn't hit his head or anything while I was there. So that was good. He did. He did hit his head while I was here. Did he really? Yeah. Right on the stairs.
Starting point is 00:47:18 What a dumbass. Yeah, I remember that now vaguely. God damn it. That kid fucking would. I love that kid, but he had to sit on everything. Well, of course he's going to hit his head.
Starting point is 00:47:28 Yeah. He's like three or something. A thousand. Yeah, I get it. But I don't get my head on it. Well, I didn't go to the no wine cellar some more.
Starting point is 00:47:37 Yeah, I know. I know. Right. Eventually it will happen. I'm sure. I was going to say you're a little more long in the tooth. So maybe you're just wiser.
Starting point is 00:47:44 How are you? Are you a submasters like us? How old are you? No, I think I am full on masters. I was going to say you're a little more long in the tooth, so maybe you're just wiser. How are you? Submasters like us? How old are you? No, I think I am full on masters. I'm 45. I will be 46, literally about a week before the lift heart. Nice. I'm approaching scant territory.
Starting point is 00:47:59 Ned, did that ever like scare you off from joining? Because like, you know, I wouldn't say you're like that much older than a lot of us too but you're on the you know i don't know what the average age is or whatever the mean median mo but there's a lot of us in our late 30s early 40s you're only a handful of years older than that so was that ever like a uh that's just that's a young man's game or anything like that no i just well i mean the competition part of it i was like should i really push my whole body that hard? But then, you know, hearing everyone talk about it, oh, you know, it's just a competition with yourself, you know, do it. But I'm not very good at moderation.
Starting point is 00:48:35 So I will definitely push myself as hard as I can. But no, it never really scared me off. Plus I'm only, I've only really been doing this lifting thing For like three years So my joints still feel good So I haven't gotten the old man Young age Yeah, I make the old man noises
Starting point is 00:48:56 When I sit down and stand up I don't As far as knees, hips, shoulders Hey question Do you old man sneeze? I don't, you know, as far as knees, hips, shoulders. Hey, question. Do you old man sneeze? Old man sneeze? Yeah. Super loud.
Starting point is 00:49:14 Like I do it. The dad sneeze, I guess, whatever. Yeah, you get amplified as you get older. There's no need to suppress that. Just let it out. Let it all out. Just the whole house. I thought you were talking about,
Starting point is 00:49:26 I thought maybe one of my siblings had told you, like, I can, half of us, like, go outside and look at the sun, and we can sneeze. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:49:32 I got that going. You know, so I thought that's what you were talking about, but no, yeah, I definitely. Eat the old man sneeze yet? Probably.
Starting point is 00:49:42 Sometimes, I don't know. The worst is when you lose the sneeze, and you're like god damn it losing a sneeze it's literally anticlimactic it's like what the fuck and because i look at the sun i know people look at me and go what is this idiot doing well yeah like you're making the face right something i'm really okay so that so that's just a term of when you're like you're you almost know face because no you literally look at the fuck a term of when you're like, you're almost making an O face. No, no. You literally look at the fucking sun. So you're making the vinegar strokes face, right?
Starting point is 00:50:07 Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then you got to sneeze and you're like, this fucking thing won't come out. So you just look at light. And as you look at the light, which is usually hopefully the sun if you're outside, but if you're inside, just looking up at light usually just triggers the sneeze. Huh. And there's a lot of people man that like never heard of that that's interesting yeah the first thing we i'm one of them uh is you step outside and as
Starting point is 00:50:31 soon as that sun gets in your eyes you sneeze that's that that's a thing and um i'm shocked you didn't know that no that's that's that's uh i read somewhere one time that it kind of triggers the same nerve that like you know people talk about sniffing pepper or something it's kind of the same activation i thought it just made your eyes pissed and then your eyes would expand and that would cause your capillaries to to like contract and that causes the sneeze so i don't know if that's biology did you say that did I say what it's the way you said the I guess it's not capillaries that's the thing in your blood what the hell is it
Starting point is 00:51:12 yeah it's capillary what did I say capillaries I think you said capillaries yeah it's the same thing wait you say capillaries yeah that's the word that's fucking great so much of this shit i wonder if i didn't say shit would like it just go and like
Starting point is 00:51:32 because i don't think has the guest ever asked you like wait what did you just say so it's always me so i think i'm always on my toes and i was like because sometimes i'm fucking dumb and maybe i either mishear it or i don't know how to pronounce shit but i'm like wait that ain't that's not how i've said that word for 40 fucking years capillaries that's but that sounds like you're doing the thing when i make fun of other words like when i say vehicles and sprocketies like that sounds like you're doing it to me right now or decal that's the one that blew my mind was decal oh someone someone's i was watching something and they were referencing a decal, but they
Starting point is 00:52:06 did, they didn't say it like Joey says it, but it was like a, it was like a hybrid between the two. I remember it was some YouTube video or something. I'm like, that's fucking not right either. But apparently it's real. Like it's a, it's a Canadian dialect and American dialect thing is you guys say decal Canada's is Dekel. Yeah, that's good stuff.
Starting point is 00:52:23 So Chad, why no home gym, buddy? deco yeah that's good stuff so chad why no home gym buddy um i just um well up until recently i was kind of like tommy i just like to get out of my house to go work out i'm not a good workout because i know myself i need to get out to do it if i had it down like in the basement or something i just i would never go down sit on my couch and become gargantuan all over again. So that's why I just have to, like, I pack my gym bag and I always stop on the way home. I work out before I get home because I know even if I go home, I'm probably not going to get back out.
Starting point is 00:52:57 Just self-awareness to know. I mean, it would be nice sometimes, I think, because some of the stuff you deal with and see in commercials is always calming to the nerves. I'd say you can always build it and then just use it that one day a week where you just know that you're not going to get it to the gym or like this Saturday. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:53:21 But if you have a routine that's working for you, brother, I look at it as every other post I see see you're at a fucking commercial gym in another state or something it seems like or maybe it's just this but you seem like you travel significantly more than a lot of us so like the last thing i would want to do is also go to commercial gyms when i was at my house like in my hometown so that's just me. Yeah, and I try to find powerlifting gyms to go to. That's my first usual Google search. But they're hard to come by, or they don't offer day passes or stuff like that. I found one up in Cedar Rapids.
Starting point is 00:53:58 Just got to carry around the calculator, because I've watched Tommy's video a million times on how to convert kilos to pounds. I hate kilos. I hate kilos. Isn't it like two and a half pounds is a kilo? Isn't it pretty straightforward? Point two.
Starting point is 00:54:16 For a second there, I thought they were going to say isn't it Kylo? Isn't it Kylo's? Kylo Ren's? That's what I'm doing. Kylo Ren. Kylo. So when you are traveling, you obviously are visiting home.
Starting point is 00:54:33 Like, do you ever visit friends' home gyms? I have. I visited the No One Hot Seller. Yeah, but any good ones? Yeah, outside of that one. Well, he didn't have the log. So no, I can't really say. It's true.
Starting point is 00:54:45 That was pre-log. that was pre-log was pre-log um but no I haven't visited any other home gyms NW alright do you want to do a game Keith do a quick little let me do my least fun
Starting point is 00:55:01 most fun I'm a big fan of that one hopefully the hopefully the crew has been liking it if you guys don't it, let me know and I'll just ignore you. But I'm only going to assume everyone loves it. Chad, are you familiar with the game least fun, most fun? I'm going to mention a couple things. Just give me a quick 60 seconds-ish answers for what's the least fun and most fun about a certain
Starting point is 00:55:19 topic. So, Big Chad, traveling for work. Least fun, most fun. God, I don't want to ride the line. It is most fun because I get bored. Oh. So it's nice to get out and see different parts. I think I described the game wrong.
Starting point is 00:55:41 So, okay. What is the least fun thing about it? And then what is the most fun thing about it? Sorry. I think I described it. I just. One of each. I described it like you and you.
Starting point is 00:55:49 Yes. Yeah. I thought we were kind of doing like an unpaid underrated. Yeah. No, this is adjacent to that. So the least fun like trips like this when I'm in a different hotel. So it's, you know, you got to pack, unpack, unpack set everything up iron clothes um do all that stuff every single day that gets old so i would say that's the um the most fun is just seeing new
Starting point is 00:56:15 places to see like you know parts of the states i've never seen before you know i was out in idaho last fall and you know you don't think at least i don't think much about idaho but it's a beautiful just driving across it the rocky mountains seeing all those different parts that probably my of the most that's awesome uh second one and last year so the least fun and then the most fun thing about it, playing the bass, playing the bass. Um, yeah. Slap at a base.
Starting point is 00:56:49 Um, I would say the most fun is you're kind of the, I think I've said this before, the bridge between the rhythm and the melody and the band, you know, so you can really carry the band if it's done. Right. least favorite. I don't know um i guess kind of the end well that's um is i guess kind of like
Starting point is 00:57:17 hmm just kind of the you know outside of Tool, a couple other bands like Chili Peppers, like nobody really knows the bass players. I guess we have an extensive background of bassists on this podcast. So did you play bass in Valhalla or did you do something else? No, yeah, I always play bass in Valhalla or did you do something else? No, yeah, I always play bass in band. Because it was out of necessity because there's guitar players. So I was like, well, I'll just go down to bass. We'll stop. Oh, wait.
Starting point is 00:57:56 I'm sorry. I don't mean to interrupt here, but Shay is calling. Can I just take a second to grab this? Sure. Oh. That didn't land. Damn it. that was supposed to be an inside joke he's like he's like he's like sure like how weird to take a podcast yeah that's yeah that's that's family war my youngest brother we could be on the phone with my mom if my youngest brother calls
Starting point is 00:58:24 everything stops hold on shay's, and you get cut off. We know who the favorite is. That was funny. Once you explained it, you're welcome, David. Yes. Absolutely. Absolutely. For nicknames you didn't really get much except uh basically just your actual real name you want to share with the listeners what your what your actual name is it is not chad
Starting point is 00:58:55 my actual name is robert chadwick okay um robert's a family name. My dad and my grandfather were both Roberts, just different iterations. Chadwick comes from... My mom was a big Elvis fan. And that was Elvis' character's name in Blue Hawaii was Chadwick. Wow, that's in-depth. Thank you. thank you there was one there was one thing you mentioned earlier about how traveling the states is is so interesting and um yeah it it to me it's the same thing that's actually why i love going to the states and traveling canada and stuff like that like just getting to see how you know when
Starting point is 00:59:43 you get off a plane and you're in a town, you're not getting anything out of it. But when you're driving there and you're driving like from one town to another, like you get to see the change and how one side of Ontario is different than the other side of Ontario. So I did have like a little thing I wanted to say there, but I to look up the name of the guy and then it took too fucking long so now I'm just gonna ask you Mount Rushmore Metallica songs oh damn okay
Starting point is 01:00:15 uh Creeping Death um stuff uh Bell Tolls just cause that kickass baseline at the front. Yep. Um, Oh, um, Oh my gosh. Uh, fade to black.
Starting point is 01:00:36 Interesting. Uh, one, because one it's, it's kind of how it became a Metallica fan. Because I remember I was in like third grade and it was summertime. And we're turning on MTV and that video scared the shit out of me. Well, yeah, it was a pretty creepy video. Yeah. So that's why one is always going to end. And you wouldn't put Copacabana on there or Mandy? More like Weekend in New England.
Starting point is 01:01:05 That's more like it. Guess we know about the Barry Manilow days, huh? We know everything. Tell us about the Barry Manilow days. So growing up, my mom was a fan of Lo. And I actually went to a Barry Manilow concert. I will admit it. I mean, the guy's a hell of a performer hell yeah
Starting point is 01:01:27 and he's written some bangers is that the weirdest concert you've been to like outside of your general what people would expect probably so um you know growing up in the south and the whole I don't know we don't get into all of it,
Starting point is 01:01:45 but there's been some contemporary Christian concert I went to. It was probably really strange. Like there was this one guy, if you look him up, he was popular in the Christian scene back in the day. His name was Carmen. And his songs was just him talking and doing dialogue over music. Outstanding. It was the cheat.
Starting point is 01:02:07 You can imagine. It's awful. Okay, so I have been to some examples when I ask the weirdest concerts. My first ever stadium concert was Reba McIntyre.
Starting point is 01:02:23 I went with my mom because I was like 12. That would have been awesome. So that was like one of my first memories. I've seen Bruce Springsteen. I've seen the Rolling Stones. Like these are things you probably would expect from me but not like if you didn't listen to this podcast. So if this was the first episode
Starting point is 01:02:40 or the third episode and you've only ever heard me talk about Goblin Metal and the shit that I listen to, these would probably throw you for a loop. I saw the Spice Girls. Nice. Absolutely. I think that would be the top four out of, like, really? Oh, Rod Stewart.
Starting point is 01:02:57 I definitely saw Rod Stewart. Yep, that definitely happened. So you're not alone in that one. I'd say the other one, I went to a Thomas Rhett concert. I feel like Keith knows who that is and I don't. Thomas Rhett, who was he with? Is it R-H-E-T-T? Yes, his dad was a singer too.
Starting point is 01:03:21 Okay, I know it. Because his dad actually opened the show for him so who would be i know this is not to ask the host question what what's your bucket list concert who's out there that you haven't seen uh i already know keith do you have an answer i'm so not up to date on music i don't treat music like music is just like something I do when I listen to it in the gym it's so like I don't know
Starting point is 01:03:49 I wouldn't go to concerts hardly at all anymore I don't think alright so I have seen Tool I think Legend goes over 12 times so I definitely wouldn't be going to that so I I guess we're gonna to say, like,
Starting point is 01:04:06 I guess I haven't seen or wish I had seen in their prime is how I would maneuver that question to give you some better answers. I would have fucking killed to see Marilyn Manson back in the late 90s. Yeah. Because I'm still a fan of his up until whatever the last album was
Starting point is 01:04:28 because he tried to do a country album with Shooter Jennings and it did not go. And then some stuff came out about him that I kind of already knew. Everybody kind of already knew. Wait, he had his ribs? No, he's the guy from Wonder Years. So definitely Marilyn Manson um but wait he had his ribs no so so definitely marilyn manson is is one of the ones that i regret because he played in my city and i was just like no i'm not going to go to that and i definitely regret not going to that
Starting point is 01:04:56 i'd love to see ramstein in a big stadium show um but ultimately i think i'm gonna click a few off because amigo the devil is playing in my area in october and i'm probably gonna go to that uh we've talked about him before he's um country music country folk uh the bridge city sinners i think are coming up here around again and um twin temple i'd like to see them but i don't think i'd invest too much time or money like in that i love them but not enough to go out of my way and hailing is coming back and the funny thing about going to hailing was i went there big shout out to big murph because i know you just went and saw them so you know what i'm talking about i went and it was a life-changing experience because it's like a ritual right like they all wear costumes and play drums and chant and stuff
Starting point is 01:05:52 like that and i went with my wife and then like a little while later my mom was like i actually kind of really like them too i'd like to go and then my buddy's like steve he's like if they come around because i just showed him a video when he was here for ggc i just showed him a video and he was like i think i'd go to that too so now suddenly i went from just me and morgan too i might have to get a big party to go to see hey loo yeah i don't think i've ever listened to any of them are they like your like goblin metal like No. Heilung is... They call themselves Amplified History. So they do traditional...
Starting point is 01:06:30 Kind of traditional. They don't really... None of them do. It's them and Wardruna are kind of like the big names in this area. Wardruna you would know and probably hear in the Vikings TV show. So they do traditional sounds with a modern twist. So it's drumming and chanting, but they're very theatrical. Hey, loon is very primal and primordial.
Starting point is 01:06:56 So they do just like steady drumming, steady droning, chanting, screaming, bird sounds, wolf sounds. Yeah sounds yeah yeah it's not for everyone but you know when murph was like should i go i was like i will pay for you to go buy your tickets just yeah because if you're into at all that version of our history of yourself or whatever it's absolutely worth it so are they kind of like you know i know i think everybody knows the who you know the mongolian who i'm actually i'm a huge fan of the hue yeah i have a hat and a patch uh i probably would go see them if they were coming around but um i think i'd have to bring the kids to that one, so I'm less likely, because they also love that band.
Starting point is 01:07:46 That's awesome. No, they're still a little more modern. Okay. The Hue is fantastic, but if you're going to picture Heilung, you're going to picture animal masks, skin, leather. They have a drum set up in the back that when they hit it, you feel it in your chest. The bass the bass is so full so thick yeah and they're just doing their thump thump thump thump thump like yeah a bit different i love that stuff i'll definitely listen kind of brings out the
Starting point is 01:08:18 tribal dna and you just want to like yeah there's they have. Uh, and I don't know a lot about music despite how much I talk about it. Um, but there's a song called Chris Galder where, um, a droning goes through the whole song. And somebody was talking about how droning like triggers something primal in our brains, which is why when we hear the bagpipes we either
Starting point is 01:08:46 hate it or love it right because bagpipes have that droning well they placed this droning which almost just sounds like a cicada in the background for the entire song while she does her singing and her vocals and they're chanting and they're drumming and it's yeah it's pretty amazing so if you're into that kind of crazy wild stuff on that end halen is is kind of the top echelon of what's going on right now i'll definitely give them i like a little bit of everything so that's spirit what about you keith i i don't know i don't know i No concert. I'm not up to date on literally anyone. Hardly. They don't have to be like one of my bucket lists is Garth Brooks.
Starting point is 01:09:30 I would love to get some. I heard it's a hell of a show. It's a hell of a show. The people that open for him. Sorry if my brother's listening, but they sucked. But well, there's this one girl. Her entire song is just her listing other country music songs and asking if you remember how good they were and i was like is this a family
Starting point is 01:09:52 guy episode am i fucking beat right now and then the whole crowd is like in tears and holding their chest and being like this is such a good song i was like she's literally just naming other songs now that was a that was a popular country song maybe like yeah that song sucks but yeah it was like a rendition or a a collaborator was like seven different people singing it all just referencing like fucking 70s and 80s songs yeah the song you just described sounds a lot worse than that uh well i don't know it was the first time i ever heard it and i was like this sucks and somebody that was with me was like then you should go for a walk because you're ruining it for the rest of us and i was like that's very fair i'm gonna go like pound
Starting point is 01:10:34 an entire beer while this song's on because it's the worst but garth puts on a hell of a show and he does this thing at the end where he like he he points out to the crowd and he's like, what songs did I miss? What song do you want me to do? And like, they'll just shout out or hold up signs. And he'll, if I remember it,
Starting point is 01:10:53 I can't end up doing the red strokes for us. And it's funny enough. He doesn't do the red strokes on tours. And I fucking love that song. So maybe really. I'd love to watch, or I'd love to see a clint black concert live but i'd be afraid that tanner and his buddies would ruin it for me you know so i guess for that reason alone i'd have to you know omit clint black because i'm afraid that tanner
Starting point is 01:11:18 and his drunk buddies would ruin it yeah don't stand up and cheer at the lift hard live easy and don't talk during Clint Black concerts. I'm going to bend the rules a little bit. I would say I would love to see prime people during the wall. That would be a dream concert for me, for sure.
Starting point is 01:11:37 Were they as popular in their time? Because so many bands were growing up in the early 2000s, all these bands from the 70s were still popular but like were they that popular back then too or was it something that like this cult thing kind of built up and they were like bigger than they actually were in like the 70s and 80s that's i was kind of curious about that chad being you know the elder statements could probably you know could probably i mean i'm not that old i know i would i think they were pretty popular because if i remember correctly the whole wall I mean, I'm not that old. Come on now.
Starting point is 01:12:07 I think they were pretty popular because if I remember correctly, the whole wall tour was pretty expensive for a song. It was 1980, I think, right? They basically built the wall during the first part of the stage or the concert, and then they tore it down in the second half. It was a pretty big production.
Starting point is 01:12:23 The song Have a Cigar was about being famous. So you would assume that they were probably a little famous by then. I don't think I've listened to Pink Floyd in like 20 years. I mean, I had burnt CDs. I had definitely multiple burnt
Starting point is 01:12:40 Pink Floyd CDs as a kid. It was a good smoking song and shit, but I don't know. Not anymore. I bought The Dark Side of the Moon when I released it on SACD. That was the first time and probably the last time I ever bought Pink Floyd. Have you guys ever done
Starting point is 01:12:55 the whole Dark Side of the Rainbow thing? No. I have no time or patience for that. It's on YouTube now, so you don't have to let go. We did it. It's done crazy. Now, would you be, would you go to one of these concerts?
Starting point is 01:13:10 Like just final concert question. I'm sorry, Keith. You're good. Now, who would you go with? Would you go with like your friends or would you pick Pierce Brosnan? He's one of the most handsome men in the world.
Starting point is 01:13:23 You know, he probably smells good you know so why not just take pierce with you i mean look i have a i have a list i have not i don't have any problems admitting when a man is an attractive man i don't know why that was such a big deal to people so well they thought it was a big enough deal and i just i just wanted the reaction of telling you we know about it but also I'm not here to like say anything about it because obviously like they don't
Starting point is 01:13:49 don't look at me as a man don't look at me and say Ryan Reynolds is not an attractive man you're lying you're lying Jason Momoa when he was Drew McIntyre the wrestler
Starting point is 01:14:06 I had this huge running joke that I was the straightest man you've ever met until Drew McIntyre walks out the room like so anyway we got nothing to worry about here Roman Reigns I mean you know no Drew McIntyre over Roman Reigns
Starting point is 01:14:22 every day of the week but it's cause he's scary. No, I just remember, like, see, it goes back to the old N64 days. And somebody, they were like my, I think it was my mom and my sister were hounding me, and they were like, who is attractive to you? And I just happened to have the GoldenEye cartridge in my hand. I said, well, here's Brian. Nice.
Starting point is 01:14:42 Yeah, I was going to ask if uh first experience with him was uh 007 or uh i think for me it was uh the shitty stepdad and uh miss dalfire dalfire yeah i was trying to think if i remember anything that he did prior to that i don't i don't think i've seen too much i'd have to orange glaze it on the website but i don't know that I've seen too much. That one. Miss Doubtfire. Thomas Crown Affair. Yeah, that was definitely.
Starting point is 01:15:12 What was the volcano movie? He was in Dante's Peak. Dante's Peak. Yeah. Ironically, I think it came out the same year as Volcano. It was like both like 95, 96, something like that.
Starting point is 01:15:21 Yeah. Like two volcano movies, like simultaneously. It's always weird when like Hollywood does that yeah it's like armageddon and fucking uh there was another uh what's the other one uh deep impact yes yeah we're just talking about how like hollywood has a tendency to come out the same calendar year with similar movies with the same theme so uh but yeah dante's peak definitely i think is better than volcano i still like volcano um i'm not sure what i glazed either of them but
Starting point is 01:15:50 probably both sixes or sevens i'd say they're right very on par but i think dante's peak is a little better because i think the i rather see shit take place in the fucking forest and like the mountains and shit that i do, like downtown LA. There's a little movie aspect. I hear you're a big TV guy, though, that Office is your least favorite TV show. I fucking hate it, right? Is that the one that Big Mac keeps posting?
Starting point is 01:16:17 Yeah, it's always Sonny and the Office. Yeah, it's always Sonny and the Office. No, I've seen that terrible... I, I've seen that terrible. I think I've watched it from episode one to the finale at least five times. Oh. All the way through.
Starting point is 01:16:36 Now, that like you're in the hotel and it's always, you know, something you can throw on the laptop or. Yeah. Yeah. It's just like. Guilty pleasure fall asleep to show. Yeah. It's just background noise. It's almost like, you know, you've seen it so many times you can listen to it like a podcast and know what's going on.
Starting point is 01:16:46 Visualize the scene. Yeah, The Office is one, Parks and Rec, and New Girl are probably my top. Okay. Where do you put, if you had to get rid of The Office or Parks and Rec, which one are you getting rid of? Are we doing FMK? I mean, if you want. No, FMK, The Office, Parks and Rec, New Girl. Okay. You can set yourself up now. Yeah, seriously. um i mean if you know no that's that fmk the office parks and rec new girl okay up now yeah seriously um god just because the characters are so good
Starting point is 01:17:14 all because of the first season i'm gonna have to kill parks and rec oh fuck you come on um i'm fucking new girl I know that sounds horrible to say. Thanks for that. Is that the Zooey Deschanel one? Yeah. Okay. I know you wouldn't like it, but you're very similar to Schmidt
Starting point is 01:17:38 in that show. The way he mispronounces a lot of common words. And then I will marry the office. Okay. Did I say Zooey? You did say Zooey. And I'm like, again, thinking, am I fucking stupid?
Starting point is 01:17:53 Or did he say something fucking dumb? No, it's Zooey. Isn't there two O's? I don't know. There is. If there's two O's, it's Zooey. It should be. No patience for your bullshit quirkiness
Starting point is 01:18:09 in your name, lady. If there's two O's, it's Zooey. If there's one, it's Zoe. I don't know. I might have to Google it. The Lugol. We'll hit with the Lugol. So we hear you're a little bit of a savant
Starting point is 01:18:24 with crosswords, but why are you such a bo bit of a savant with crosswords but why are you such a bozo at connections oh god thanks jen um i don't know man i think that was definitely jen my brain just works right with crossword what the fuck you know it's i guess it's the add mind i can just process information and just keep going. What is, I have no clue what connection is. It was like, I'm not, I guess, is there's this whole like extra channel you guys are a whole
Starting point is 01:18:49 disc. It's like New York times games. I don't know shit about it. There's a whole list. I don't know what word was either. I just, I know you guys play it. I've never looked at it.
Starting point is 01:19:00 So there's word old, which is you got, I think it's a five letter word and you have to guess the word. You get yellow squares and green squares. Yellow means you got the letter right, but not in the right spot. Green means you got the right letter in the right spot. And you get like descriptors. It's like a hard mode like a real person should play.
Starting point is 01:19:17 You have to guess. You can't just eliminate letters by guessing words. Interesting. But yeah, it's fun. It's just a quick distraction. Alright, so I understand what Wordle kind of is and what crossword puzzles, what the
Starting point is 01:19:34 fuck's Connection? So Connection is you get a group of words that you have to pick. I think it's 16 words that you have to find a link between all four words. And so you have to guess four words to find that link. And you get, I think, four attempts, something like that.
Starting point is 01:19:54 I don't know. But my brain does not work well with that. I think I'd be better at that than the other one. Well, the thing about it is they always throw in one or two words to confuse you so that you think it's going with this one group of words and then you find out later on when you're almost out of guess good to know well yeah no that's cool you guys have that little uh extra connection so do you think you'll actually have a more of a like easier conversation with these people that you meet in uh in aberdeen because you
Starting point is 01:20:25 obviously you know the hundred of us in crew but you're in this extra little sub channel with however many that you guys play all these games every day is that even going to be like an extra tight tight-knit bond at you know probably yeah i think we've we've i think jim brought it up that we don't just get together in the mornings and play our puzzles together like you know only masters i guess because it sounds like a very master's thing to do is that we would almost just get together in the mornings and play our puzzles together. Only masters, I guess, because it sounds like a very masters thing to do. 100%. 100%.
Starting point is 01:20:53 That is a masters thing. And I'm just sitting here combing my beard. I washed it before the podcast, so it's just all just fucking tangles right now. I wish I could grow my beard like that long, but I always get to the bushy point and I hate the way I look. So I just get. Yeah, that's kind of where. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:21:11 Here's the thing. Just just don't care about the way you look. And all you have to do is hate shaving more than the way you look. Right. Like, what am I going to do? I'm going to take a razor to my face like a psycho. Might as well listen to podcasts While I lift
Starting point is 01:21:26 It makes my skin curl I have a question What is your favorite comedy movie? Favorite comedy movie I Across I kind of classify Christmas movies And regular movies separately
Starting point is 01:21:42 No I want The movie that has made you laugh the most, the most consistently, and you have never forgot about. I mean, Anchorman is up there. Sorry, Keith. Don't you apologize to him.
Starting point is 01:22:00 That movie is fucked up. It brings it out. He's wrong. I did actually watch a little bit of of wrong I'm sorry to hijack there real quick but the the Tom Brady uh roast uh Will Ferrell came out as Ron Burgundy and I've never seen Ron Burgundy like as like memes and like little fucking like 90 second clips on Instagram and YouTube and shit so actually seeing him do like a four or five minute little monologue was like, okay. I mean, I could see how it's funny ish, but I don't know.
Starting point is 01:22:28 I wouldn't, I wouldn't take that as canon. Okay. Um, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a,
Starting point is 01:22:35 there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a,
Starting point is 01:22:35 there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a,
Starting point is 01:22:37 there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a,
Starting point is 01:22:37 there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a,
Starting point is 01:22:37 there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a,
Starting point is 01:22:38 there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a,
Starting point is 01:22:38 there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, reel that if you really wanted to see how funny these guys are it's when he's talking about yeah
Starting point is 01:22:47 it's a blooper reel when he's talking about I don't even know if I want to say it do you know what I'm talking about Chad? it's been so long since I've seen 2 where he goes on about he's watching TV and there's somebody on the TV and it makes
Starting point is 01:23:04 him horny and he masturbates and and he's like well you had me at masturbates oh no you would love this and I think the funniest part about it is when Paul
Starting point is 01:23:18 he's just like describing different names of jacking off well no it's oh god it's when he says it's like the poor people of Pompe well no it's oh god it's when he says it's like the poor people of pompeii but it's not lava it's frothy ejaculate and paul rudd fucking breaks and he breaks so hard and like like these guys in a room are like the funniest people in the world at the time.
Starting point is 01:23:49 Yeah, I definitely think Keith, if you come across that that's not a good way to word that. Yeah, there's the dick joke. If you happen to find that or I'll send it to you. That does sound funny i would laugh if you're gonna like will ferrell you would love that scene and it did oh anchorman
Starting point is 01:24:11 two outtake yes thanks one of the dozens ryan's um but absolutely yeah maybe you'll like the anchorman series if you could see that scene. Yeah. If I watch that first, it might, you know, resonate. Cause I feel like that whole cast is much like the crew where I think they were just trying to make each other laugh and trying to break each other.
Starting point is 01:24:35 The whole movie. Yep. Yep. It's definitely worth watching. And not even all of the, the celebrity at the end, like during the big battle scenes there's one in one and one in two
Starting point is 01:24:47 like where Jim Carrey's the Canadian yeah oh it is Zooey by the way she does spell it Z-O-O-E-Y so I don't give a fuck that is Zooey Zed Zed I know that's still I took four years of French like I should be what is Zed. I know that's still okay. I took four years of French.
Starting point is 01:25:06 Like, I should be... What is Zed in French? It's Zed. Is it Zed? It's Zed, yeah. Okay, because in Spanish it's Zeta. Or Zeta if you're talking Castilian, so... Okay, well, Chad, so you kind of speak French
Starting point is 01:25:23 or you just barely enough? I want to hear some Masonomics terms in French. I'm better at taking the French and putting it into English. That sounded dirty. But, you know, when people come up to me like hand handlers on the street and they ask me for money, I always just say, Oh, that makes me so happy. I always just say, shouldn't have come from private. Oh, that makes me so happy. I always tell them no thanks. I just tell them I don't understand what they're saying.
Starting point is 01:25:52 That makes me happy. Eventually I'm going to run into somebody who speaks French and I call them. That's all. I want to hear about the gallbladder situation. Is there something going on with that? God, yeah. I have my gallbladder taken out.
Starting point is 01:26:09 Where'd you put it? It's in a safe box. Just in case. Just in case. I mean, I'm cryogenically frozen next to Walt Disney. No, I've had gallbladder issues off and on for like, so about 10 years ago, I was a really big boy. I was over like 435 pounds and then I lost like a hundred pounds in a year.
Starting point is 01:26:36 And apparently that sets your gallbladder off. So didn't do anything about it then. And had kind of some attacks back you know throughout the years never of course you know me being stubborn never went to the doctor what's an all-bladder attack look like or feel like it's just as i for me is this like the first time i had i thought i was having a heart attack just a lot of pressure in my chest um but then you get up walk around and you start burping a lot and get nauseous. Look at the sun? Yeah, you look at the sun, you sneeze a few times, then you get pissed when you don't.
Starting point is 01:27:10 I can't imagine sneezing during a gallbladder attack. Oh, that's not bad. You might poop. You would probably poop. Yeah, as long as you're in the woods, you're okay. We haven't had a good poop story. I was going to say that. And I'm so happy you did. Um, no. So this past year I was in January. I had one and again, being stubborn,
Starting point is 01:27:38 I didn't go until about that happened like on a Friday early, like midnight into Friday morning. And like Monday, I'm looking at myself in the mirror and I'm like yellow. And my eyeballs are jaundiced. I should probably go get this checked. And so when they're like, yeah, you got some stones blocking your bile ducts. And they cleaned those out in about three or four weeks. And I was back, it was in March. And, you know, i was just mad i want my body to rebound as quickly as possible from things like that and it didn't
Starting point is 01:28:13 happen and you know the doctor's like you can't live for four or five weeks you know i'm not one of those guys that you know i have to live for my mental health i mean it does help but you know when it becomes a part of your life and then it's not, all of a sudden you're not in your routine, it kind of messes with you a little bit. So I was not probably the best patient, best person during that time. I was probably a cranky.
Starting point is 01:28:36 I'm back and I'm ready. Nice. So you're going to, you're going to do a full sanctioned power made four months after surgery. That's pretty fucking awesome. Yeah, I mean, they just scope it, so they go in there with the... Oh, they didn't actually take it.
Starting point is 01:28:54 Yeah. There's only like three incisions. Gotcha. The worst part, the gas afterwards. Because they inflate your belly with gas so they can get it out and man you just sound like a outboard motor on a bass boat for about 48 hours now you you thankfully you didn't have the gary the painter effect where you had you know
Starting point is 01:29:18 the issues with his uh intestines and they uh as he said farted out of his dick so let's go well let's go so i guess it isn't the gallbladder the one that they can take out and it doesn't affect anything? Or am I getting that mixed up with another organ? Yeah, it just depends on the person. So you just said, no, I want to keep it? Yeah, I mean, well, I mean, they can take it out. But some people, they do have some effects as far as,
Starting point is 01:29:41 as soon as they eat, they've got to go to the bathroom kind of thing. I'm pretty fortunate in my nutrition coach he's he kind of got me on some stuff has helped so you know taking some digestive enzymes and a couple of that gut health kombucha yeah yeah you're thinking of the appendix uh the fuck you yeah the appendix you actually are right the append the the the appendix is what we were talking about yep okay that makes more sense i gotta ask i had a discussion the other day do you say affluent or affluent affluent right i'll say it's just anyway i would say ostentatious we also say tell a digga so I don't know if I can trust you on anything you say I am a dwarf
Starting point is 01:30:29 and I'm digging a hole Talladega hole oh jeez well I don't think I want to talk about you almost shooting somebody so I can't control what they give me copy and paste city at this point.
Starting point is 01:30:53 Uh, yeah, but I do want to hear about your fitness journey a little bit. I mean, you touched on losing a hundred pounds. So at, you know, six,
Starting point is 01:30:59 whatever, four 30, you had to be a very just sloppy, unhealthy man. So is that kind of just said fuck it it's time to go let's start working out let's start walking and start eating right what happened yeah so yeah i um i was 4 435 pounds of my heaviest roughly somewhere around some point you just stop weighing yourself but um and then i had my daughter and she was about a year old and we found out she has special needs and she actually had a open heart surgery when she was one to repair a hole in her heart and a couple other issues.
Starting point is 01:31:36 And so I just got to looking at myself like I need to be as best as I can for her. So I can live as long as possible. And, you know, because at the time we weren't sure what her capabilities were going to be with the syndrome that she had. So, yeah, I just started, I learned how to eat right as far as like tracking macros and calories, calories in, calories out. Started running, walking, ran a lot, was running like 5Ks like 5ks 10ks was training for a half marathon and i had some knee issues flare up from all the running and so yeah i went from 435 to 265 that's awesome angry hell yeah good work and good reason for it. Yeah. So, and then I got into weightlifting.
Starting point is 01:32:29 Running was just beating me up so bad. So that's a funny sentence. Running was beating me up. I started lifting really heavy weights because running was beating me up. I've not had knee issues since i've been lifting weights i had any issues from running yeah it makes sense to me no it actually it does it's it's just a funny way to look at it because it does make sense to me that's why i don't do running and i don't you know my hip would not allow it my mcl would not allow it. I mean, can I fucking squat and deadlift like a monster? Sure.
Starting point is 01:33:05 Let's go. But you want me to... I'm sorry, you want me to walk up how many stairs? You want me to do a rower? Am I not in a boat? We have motorboats. We don't need a rower. If you see me running, you better also run.
Starting point is 01:33:24 Exactly. Something's chasing okay so if you're out in public and you see some running someone running like kids like out of the corner of my eye when i see someone running i immediately go like what's going on like i don't know if i'm paranoid does that do you guys do that i know this kind of kind of offshoot. Sorry, it's the ADV brain. No, please. It's your episode. No. It depends on how... Honestly, it depends on how they're dressed. If I was just like...
Starting point is 01:33:54 Again, I live in the country too, right? So if you see people running out here, yeah, you got different things. So if I'm in the city and I just see a group of people running, but they're all dressed like those people that would do that,
Starting point is 01:34:09 nah, I'm not that worried. But if I see somebody in a parka and they're just booking it and screaming, like, yeah, I might have some... Or if you're at a place where someone probably shouldn't and you see them. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:34:26 It's a rhetorical for me because it's never come up that I've had to be... I don't know. Maybe I'm just paranoid. When I see people running in a place where they shouldn't be running, I get... No, I'm pretty paranoid too. I just can't think of when it's happened. Because I do think I would be like, what are you running from?
Starting point is 01:34:42 Are you running from the cops? Are you running from a coyote? What are you running from? I think running from the cops you're running from like a coyote like what are you running from like i think i would definitely side eye a bit the bears yeah but i also firmly believe in minding my own fucking business so i kind of would be like well it's none of my business the to to piggyback on the running chad did you ever run any of your sister's boyfriends away with these nicknames you came up with yeah for some reason
Starting point is 01:35:10 my brothers and I give all of my sister's boyfriends nicknames you know I think the one we named Flea because he tried to tell me how to string the chords on my guitar the right way that's so aggressive my current brother-in-law he tried to tell me how to string the chords on my guitar the right way. So aggressive.
Starting point is 01:35:28 My current brother-in-law. Chad, that's so passive aggressive. I love that. Well, I think my current brother-in-law, who is a wonderful husband to my sister and a great man, I think we called him Turd Ferguson for the first two years. It's a funny name. It's Turd Ferguson. It's a really first two years it's a funny name it's a it's a turd ferguson it's a really funny name did that did that morph into anything or now it's just his name or like
Starting point is 01:35:50 no now we just call him his real name it's like it's like yeah you mean you made it 24 months you're probably not going anywhere for a while we'll start yeah exactly joe or tom you put up with my sister for two years you're good so. So, no, I love you, Jess. All good. So, when you came across one that was dating a Chad, Lamont. Yeah. What's Lamont? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:36:14 Tell me about that one and why that's there. So, he came over and my sister brought him home one time. And we used to have family game nights. So, we would play these board games growing up. And they got competitive because we'd always play guys against girls and we were playing a game taboo i don't know if you guys have ever played that in four um anyway it's his turn to guess he just kept like it was i don't remember what it the word was but he just kept going it's. And he would just make a hand gesture. And we're like, okay, you got to give us more than that.
Starting point is 01:36:47 What is it? And it's red. And we were like, come on, Lamont. You got to give us more than that. And so I just didn't get him. He was not worthy of me. You're not Chadwick enough. Exactly.
Starting point is 01:37:03 Put some respect on me. I'm still fucking dying over the flea thing. I don't give a fuck. That's great. Do you spend as much time in your life as I have telling people your name's not Robert or Bob, that it's Chad? All I fucking do is explain that I go by my middle name, but I didn't choose to. Yeah. Well, yeah. Like senior year of college, I think I't choose to. Yeah, well, yeah, like,
Starting point is 01:37:25 senior year of college, I think I just gave up. I was like, yeah, call me whatever. It would be easier for sure. Yeah, I don't know why we all go... I mean, that was the way it was with my younger brother. He goes by his middle name, too. Why?
Starting point is 01:37:41 Why, Mark? I don't know, right? Should we move into some unpaid and underrated yeah i was just gonna yeah let's do it oh i just realized i had the show notes fucked up and i have it all under guest ask the host question oh well it doesn't matter no we'll do it live the cool thing about mistakes keith is uh they don't matter until you point them out to everybody listening i don't care i just realized i screwed this up only me and you would have known that and i wasn't gonna say any i'm allowed i'm allowed to share this is therapy fuck you um chad you're familiar with the game i will go over the rules on this one since we botched the
Starting point is 01:38:21 first one so unpaid or underratedrated is the game we came up with. We made it up all by ourselves. So unpaid is something you think is awesome. Nope. Unpaid sucks. Fuck, I'm butchering that too. Jesus. So underrated is good, obviously.
Starting point is 01:38:37 And unpaid sucks. No one wants to be unpaid. It threw me off not having this shit there. All right. So, God, this really is fucking me up. Chad, unpaid or underrated coleslaw? What's your opinion on coleslaw and why? Coleslaw is... Come here, brothers.
Starting point is 01:38:51 Oh, God. Is there something worse than unpaid that I can rate? I fucking hate coleslaw. I hate coleslaw too, man. Is it not just trash? It can be great. Like, I've been everywhere. Everybody everybody's like try the coleslaw it's so good no i don't want cold cabbage mix with mayonnaise yeah my my wife made one and
Starting point is 01:39:14 she makes a spicy coleslaw and like i put up with it because i need my veggies and she does the cooking so what am i going to do tell her i hate this don't make it um but like ultimately if i never had coleslaw again except for the kfc coleslaw that radioactive green bullshit doesn't even count as coleslaw i eat that all day yeah it's pretty good no it is it's terrible i would no it can take a hike is it you know it is is it like a southern cuisine too? Are you an outlier down there telling people no? Yeah, I think so. Especially in barbecue joints down here, it's always
Starting point is 01:39:52 a side. There's this one restaurant that we go to, or we used to. We used to go to a lot. It's called Top of the River. Legend has it it's the best coleslaw ever made. I would say hot garbage, it it's the best coleslaw I ever made. I would say hot garbage, but it's actually cold garbage.
Starting point is 01:40:08 You keep trying it, though. Why do you keep trying it? I quit trying it. Okay, okay, you quit trying it. Because maybe one day, Keith. Maybe, yeah, it'll hit me just right. Somebody, I think, a restaurant here in Hamilton made coleslaw once
Starting point is 01:40:24 that I actually went. I would try that again. And that's a lot. I fucking hate cabbage in general. So I'm with you, buddy. All right. Big Chad. Number two here.
Starting point is 01:40:36 We're going to go with liability waivers. Liability waivers are underrated. Everybody needs a liability waiver if they have something going on in the house. Hey, you come swim in my pool, sign this. You own a home gym. It just protects yourself. I mean, you know, in society these days, we're very litigious. And so waivers generally protect you for the most part if they're written.
Starting point is 01:41:01 Big fan. if they're big fans and i'm uh thankful that you uh helped uh you know jot one down for you know big keith and a wine seller so i actually made joey sign one last week and the one thing i didn't go back and look to see if he actually spelled out fucking zed in his name at all actually i'm i'm shocked i didn't even fucking read it because i was just like did he sign it daffy duck i hope he didn't that would be really well technically in canada at least as long as you have verified my identity no matter what i sign it's legal right so even if i signed go fuck yourself keith the fact that i picked up that paper and signed it and you know who i am technically that's
Starting point is 01:41:47 i like i'm fairly certain because i mean i i signed contracts for a living so like somebody's like what if i put a smiley face and i was like then it's gonna be me versus you in the lawyer's room and like it's gonna come down to that that's fine we actually did have to have a little bit of a so anyone unfamiliar i have a banner in the gym that i have people sign and the only caveat is it's got to be your second visit or you have to have driven over an hour and joey and hit the mark on that and i was like just please just just literally your name and you know the date and he you know he did the right thing he didn't do do anything. I would never. That's what I said to him. I was like, man, I will fuck you up most days, but I
Starting point is 01:42:28 know what this means to you. I'm not new to this, so I would definitely be nice on this one. I did not read that thing at all. Well, Chad wrote it. I hope I don't owe you my kids or blood or something, but I was just like, I'm not going to hurt myself, and if I
Starting point is 01:42:44 do, I don't care it's my fault like i'll sign here that's the that's the general consensus uh just more to cover my own ass uh all right chad what do i want to pick for my last one here so unpaid or underrated door buster deals but door buster deals that's i hate that word i's uncool. I hate that word. I know. I don't know why that word angers me so much, but it does. I think it's because I worked retail for years. Oh,
Starting point is 01:43:13 that would do it. And yeah. So just hate that. I don't know why. Does everybody have words that just like grind certain early, right? Like, and I was at a loss leader concept. Like what is, what does doorbuster mean to you? it just grinds their narrowing, right?
Starting point is 01:43:25 And is that a loss leader concept? What does doorbuster mean to you? No, it's just the doorbuster sales that go on here Black Friday. Yeah, like the first 50 people in get this sale and then it's gone. We only have,
Starting point is 01:43:41 you can get 50% off, but only for the first 20 that are on the display floor or only it's only valid 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. or 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. that is no I get it that's why Chad hates it must be an American thing
Starting point is 01:43:57 all right you're up big Joey all right unpaid or underrated overalls overalls shit big Joey. Alright. Unpaid or underrated? Overalls. Overalls? Oh shit. Are we going back to kindergarten? We're not talking the coveralls that you wear as a mechanic.
Starting point is 01:44:14 We're talking over the shoulder denim pocket in the chest overalls. For my life they are unpaid because I got, well, in kindergarten, I got, can't use the bully word, I got roasted. Overalls to school one day, and I think I came home crying to my mom, like, I never want to wear them again. They called me Farmer Jones.
Starting point is 01:44:38 And, you know, that. So overalls for me are. See, ironically, my wife wears them now and I'm like those look pretty practical well yeah they came back into fashion like when I was in like junior high school and I still was like nah I'm not nah my PTSD says I can't do that
Starting point is 01:44:59 I'm not going to be called farmer is that going to be your Instagram handle next week it might be big farmer. Is that going to be your Instagram handle next week? It might be. Big Farmer Jones. Big Farmer Jones. Unpaid or underrated Hooters?
Starting point is 01:45:12 Hooters. I would have to say unpaid. Really? Are we talking restaurants or the, you know? We're talking owls, buddy. Okay. Owls. Nice pair of Hooters you got there. Little holding owls. Owls, buddy. Nice pair of Hooters you got there. No, the restaurant is
Starting point is 01:45:33 unpaid. I mean, the food's mediocre at best, and like I think I said in Discord today, the last time I went was my brother and some friends to watch SummerSlam back in, I think, 2004, the pay-per-view. Imagine I went with my brother and some friends to watch SummerSlam back in, I think, 2004. The pay-per-view. Imagine getting everybody together and you're like,
Starting point is 01:45:51 Guys, guys, you know what we're going to do tonight? We're going to go to Hooters. I heard the food here is great. You'd be such a liar to everybody there. Something a bozo would say. it is a bozo move and then you go and ask for the breasts oh yeah yeah that's actually one of my favorite family guy lines is when his hair goes white and he goes well i'm officially a white haired old man time to go be a problem at hooters after nine. Oh man, I wish I had a watch Family Guy.
Starting point is 01:46:29 I'm pretty certain I've memorized that show by now, but that's definitely one of my favorite Hooters related things. I know which car is yours. So I don't think I have any more Hooters in Canadaada i think there's one in downtown toronto which has a rooftop patio um but i haven't been down there recently but like they've mostly they're just gone up here yeah they're i mean they're hard to find down here i remember
Starting point is 01:46:56 20 something i think there were four or five in the birmingham area i think there's one now well the the whole restaurant concept, it doesn't fly up here for whatever reason. I mean, for whatever reason. I can tell you a thousand reasons. We just don't give a shit. And I said in Discord today, that place around the corner from my work,
Starting point is 01:47:16 I used to go, and they were hiring clearly in conjunction with the strip joint down the road. There was no way they weren't. And you would just go, and i'd sit and have a beer and the server is as the server is dude behind beside me is being creepy and i want nothing to do with it and that's when i was just like okay they have my favorite beer on tap and that's a bonus and then suddenly i was just like wait a minute they don't have my beer on tap i'm's a bonus. And then suddenly I was just like, wait a minute. They don't have my beer on tap.
Starting point is 01:47:45 I'm not going there anymore. I thought that was so funny that I was like, that was the thing bringing me there. That's such a fucking old man. I can't even, I can't even anymore. Welcome to the club. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:47:59 I'm not even, I'm not dealing with you. I don't wife. I don't deal with this. All right. I think I want to deal with this. All right. I think I have one more. Unpaid or underrated? Creed.
Starting point is 01:48:11 Creed? You know, okay, so two years ago, I would have said totally unpaid. But, you know, with the resurgence of it, I'm going to go underrated. I don't know if it's the nostalgia thing that has kind of gotten everybody back. I would go unpaid. In fact, my alarm is a Creed song. Didn't you see them? Yes, I did see them.
Starting point is 01:48:36 Me and my brother, sister, and one of our friends went. We saw them and Seven Dust opened. And I will say Seven Dust blew them off stage. Yeah, Seven Dust is pretty fucking incredible. For some reason, my brothers and I have seen Seven Dust like 10,000 times.
Starting point is 01:48:54 I don't know because they were based in Atlanta and they were at Birmingham a lot. Oh, okay. We just happened to see Seven Dust. Damn good show. I'm seeing Creed about six days after the lift hard live easy yeah we're pretty excited about that all right well it sounds like you passed unpaid and underrated yeah um i think if you could give us a quick ad read there keith while you're frozen
Starting point is 01:49:19 i'll be back in a second. I believe he's on a 20% sale, but probably don't, but don't take advantage of that because then you can't use code unpaid. So wait till, wait till June comes around and then you can use code unpaid again. But no, if you really do need to save that 20%, go ahead and take care of it. But if you want to support the podcast, you know, I don't think you'll be able to double stack those discounts. So you're not really gonna be helping us out anytime soon for that one. Cause I think it runs till June and then home gym con it's already getting scheduled in Louisville for 2025.
Starting point is 01:50:07 Not sure if the boys are going to make it out this year, just because it is going to be the end of June. So assuming there's a Lift Hard, Live Easy 2025, you know, might make it kind of difficult for a lot of people that are traveling to do two big trips. I'm still on the fence, but more than likely
Starting point is 01:50:21 will end up getting my Home Gym Con tickets, and I will be using code unpaid. Alright. That was a fun tip. I'm still on the fence, but more than likely we'll end up getting my home Jim Con tickets, and I will be using code unpaid. All right. Is that how you say it? That's been a big hot topic. Is it Louisville? Is it Louisville? It's pretty much like Louisville.
Starting point is 01:50:38 Louisville. Louisville. Louisville. I don't think I say Louisville or Louisville. I definitely don't say Louisville. Louisville. That's yeah. I don't think I say, yeah, I don't say Louisville or Louisville. I definitely don't say Louisville. So I think it's just Louisville. I'd say Louisville,
Starting point is 01:50:52 not Louisville. Yeah. That's none of those sound right. A big shout out to Scott Dodds as well for my shirt at your gym. Like, like that was a lot of fun too. He's a, he's, I gotta figure out where I'm going to put this sticker.
Starting point is 01:51:07 It's almost log-worthy, but I not only have my gym and our podcast on the log, so I'm debating on what I'm going to put on there and the rest of it. I'm pretty certain Dodds is log-worthy. I've got one here myself that I keep trying to figure out where to put. Go ahead, Chad.
Starting point is 01:51:22 When are we going to get some DILF Dungeon stickers? Ha ha ha! You know what? You know who recently discovered our podcast? The designer for Deadlift Till I'm Dead. When she messaged me, it was like, you have a podcast? And I was like, do you have any clue how much I talk about you on this podcast?
Starting point is 01:51:44 And so she has offered, and we've come to not a price agreement, but at least a size agreement. She's going to design the DILF Dungeon banner, the first DILF Dungeon banner. And then if I can get the vector, like if I can pay for the design and own it then i'll probably do stickers at some point so i think someone asked us a while ago what we would do if we didn't have this podcast or if what was it was something in the sense of like if we had to host our own podcast or if we had to do a different podcast what would it be and i uh i can't really remember exactly what it was but i had a thing the other day i was thinking if you and i did a spinoff podcast that was un-mastodonics related it would be uh the name of it would be The Dilf and the Dink or something to that extent.
Starting point is 01:52:30 Because you are a dink, yeah. Yeah, dual income, no kids. And then, you know, the dad I'd like to friend or follow. What was it? The dad I'd like to follow on Instagram. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So something that hit me the other day, I think. I don't remember what
Starting point is 01:52:45 i was just it hit me i was like oh that would actually be funny if we had to do a really funny if tommy and tanner decide to sue us and try to take i'll take this podcast away from us and we have to change it up on them and uh you know i guess we'll just you know that's speaking of speaking of right before we go into the the you, generally one of the last sessions we do here, there was a thing when you were on the Massonomics podcast that was really exciting for me. And I think I just want to shout it out. You had said we are reaching our one year. And Tanner said, it's not a direct quote. I'm sorry, I didn't write it down.
Starting point is 01:53:24 But something along the lines of, I knew if anybody was going to do it, it would be you three. So, hell yeah. Thank you so much to Tanner for seeing us, believing in us, sponsoring us. But also, thank you to the crew that continuously comes on. We have had no cancellations no no shows people are excited to come on everybody wants to be here like yeah that i remember that today when i was just i think i was doing something in the backyard i was just like that's awesome well and i think you know it also when we meet up in july like listening to all these
Starting point is 01:54:05 episodes like you feel like i mean yes we are friends in discord but when you listen to these episodes like you have things to talk about yeah that's pretty awesome i mean i don't know any other communities like that's literally why i do it that's like the whole reason of why if anyone notices there's a fucking trend leading them to lift hard live easy like unless joey scheduled it whoever's going to be on the podcast is probably uh going to be in at aberdeen in july so it's just outside of a handful of other people that we snuck in there like i try to front load the year or at least i mean we've only been doing it for a year but like it's strategic that if you're gonna if you if you made the financial
Starting point is 01:54:43 and time commitment to come to aberdeen you got major priority to be on the podcast first. And that's selfish for me too because I want to be able to have – I'm a very – like I get massive anxiety in public settings. So the fact that I've already – if I've already talked to you for fucking two hours on a podcast, I'm going to have no problem coming up to you, shaking your hand, talking to you in Tanner's backyard versus why am I going to waste two hours talking to someone that I might never meet in person when I could do all these people I'm going to meet in person first. Always going to front load the priority people that put a priority in Lift Hard, Live Easy and the Arnold and Crew Falls
Starting point is 01:55:16 and all that shit. Speaking of that though, there are some I did get a few good names at the Arnold. Don't deny that. They may not be going to be at the Liftoff of the VZ, and most of them are going to be. Yeah. It was more of a build on what Chad said.
Starting point is 01:55:31 It wasn't that you didn't. It was more to build on what Chad had said. Actually, most of the people I got are going to be there. I know. That's why the one that wasn't, he had a conflict anyway, so I was able to push him back a month and get Big Matthias Cash scheduled who will be there so that was kind of cool
Starting point is 01:55:47 Mattias? Yeah that guy the one that fucking is strong as shit with the cats in the basement, love that guy oh man and also don't, I mean I think we are all on the same flight out of Minneapolis, St. Paul to Aberdeen.
Starting point is 01:56:06 So I feel really bad. Yeah, that's, I like, I said last week, I can't believe, I think I said it to Steve when he was here for GGC, how much I've committed to. For the Thursday night, I have like a seven hour layover in Minneapolis. Like, I'm just going to be fucking hammered. Like I don't, what else am I going to do? Yeah. And I mean,
Starting point is 01:56:30 yeah, just sit there and drink. I mean, just drink your $14 airport beer. Like I can't sleep. I'll never sleep in somewhere public. I can't leave. So for seven hours,
Starting point is 01:56:44 what I'm going to pound energy drinks and like hope i don't die like i don't know what else to do then like have a drink an hour if you really spend a ton of money that particular airport does have a hotel like it sucks because you still gotta go to it but it's attached i think you can use attached but there's not security anymore so you still have to go all the way back around to get in but that's what we did coming back on that sunday or yeah the sunday was like we had a seven eight hour layover and msp and we just went and got fucking paid the two hundred dollars to get a hotel room and just went to bed for five hours and two hundred dollars um i probably like wasn't for nap i mean basically yeah could do that i don't know that was more of a i think the flight from min to Aberdeen is just going to be filled with a bunch of really big
Starting point is 01:57:26 drunk dummies is what's going to happen there. And then we're like, we're going to go to karaoke and we're going to go to Pounders and all of us are going to be like, we're going to go home and go to sleep. We are drunk. Yeah, I think me and Ryan,
Starting point is 01:57:43 Red Ryan, Big Jack and Ginger will be on the same flight out of atlanta and then i think everybody flying on that flight to msp at aberdeen so you better keep your discords on because it'll be one of those we're at this pub for like this next five seven hours and then i'm just praying dami and j Jen Dami can still drive me to the hotel because I won't have any other way there. I'll fucking walk too. That's the dumb part. I'll put my headphones in and just go until something else happens.
Starting point is 01:58:14 Just go full Bizarro Tron. Just start walking. Just end up somewhere. Yeah. I'm in Sioux Falls. I'm at Bryce's house. Hey, man. All right.
Starting point is 01:58:30 Get a picture with you and Tanner's 100s. Oh, Tanner's hundos. Yeah, well, Bryce's, but yes. Big Chad, do you want to flip the script on us and ask us some stuff? Sure. All right. Big Joe, I'll go with you first mount rushmore of not openers not interests not surprises but mount rushmore of this may have been covered i'm not sure of moments in professional wrestling just moments that stand out to you.
Starting point is 01:59:07 Okay. Okay. Someone's in the ring, God damn if I can remember who it is. Okay? And they're out there shooting a promo and Paul Heyman comes running down the ramp. And he says,
Starting point is 01:59:22 help me, he's coming for me me the person shooting the promo says who the flames hit kane's entrance music hits kane comes down incredibly timed incredibly just like everything about that was amazing because that was when Kane was at his scariest. I had nightmares about that man when he was after he removed his mask and became Monster Kane. That was so fucking well done. It's not even
Starting point is 01:59:56 funny. Obviously, these are not in any order. Sure. Sabu returns. To respond to Taz. The lights turn on. Sabu's in the ring. Doing his pointing up thing.
Starting point is 02:00:13 Taz is on the other side of the ring. With his arms crossed. Not moving. If you didn't piss your pants. Watching that live. You're not a wrestling fan. I'm such a Taz fan it's yeah not even funny oh what else um the fiend's first entrance you'd seen the fiend you'd seen bray wyatt you had seen
Starting point is 02:00:40 everything that was coming but when that music hit and it was a remix of the old music with a heavy metal twist and he had that lantern of his own head just just groundbreaking utterly groundbreaking yeah and then i gotta go on a personal note, because it's also Bray Wyatt, here in my city, we were at a live show, and Bray Wyatt did come out, came out to the Fireflies and everything like that, now I've been in live shows with Kane, made eye contact with Kane,
Starting point is 02:01:17 when he did like his big fire thing, I've been at live shows with Stone Cold, and The Undertaker and everything like that, but Bray Wyatt when he came out that day it was not a recorded event but that
Starting point is 02:01:34 the whole place went quiet when the lights went out and the fireflies went up and you knew he wasn't there to win the match And you knew he wasn't there to win the match. You knew he wasn't there to put anything forward. But damn. Damn did he ever hold a crowd.
Starting point is 02:01:55 Yeah. And then one last one. That I think. You know. We'll put it in the gift shop of the Mount Rushmores. When Charlotte came out. at that same event and i looked down and there were little girls at that wrestling event amped a to be at a wrestling event little girls at a wrestling event excited to see Charlotte. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:02:29 That's when I knew like the change was coming in wrestling, that it wasn't nerdy boys club anymore. And that little girls could like it too. I choked up watching that happen. When that little girl like reached out and Charlotte hugged her at that event. I was at, I was just like, like, that's it.
Starting point is 02:02:47 Things are going different. Things are changing. This is important to us. Very cool. I'm glad you didn't go with the stereotypical Andre the Giant being body slammed. Hell in a cell. Andre the Giant being body slammed, I was too. Hell in a cell.
Starting point is 02:03:09 I mean, that's a big event but like it's not it didn't affect me personally and every story about wrestling i try and tell is about how important it is to me and my life yeah right the undertaker retiring wasn't mark calloway after 45 years retiring the undertaker retiring was because i have loved the undertaker for 45 years or whatever like he's at like yeah years like that's wrestling is a very important and personal thing to a lot of people oh for sure there's no hockey player that debuted in 1984 that you watched retire in 2021 you didn't grow with him you didn't live with him you didn't like become an adult watching or watching his evolution yeah absolutely so this thing is tom Brady, as far as that. Like, literally the longest career editing elite level, but even that is like 15 years
Starting point is 02:04:10 less than that. And then he cashes out on a Netflix thing and whines about the whole thing. So, fuck Tom Brady. They didn't make fun of my wife. No, they didn't make fun of my wife and sister. It's a rose. The only time he got up to say anything was when they were talking about his fucking owner getting a handjob. Like, shut the fuck up. Or a hug. It was a hug. Yeah. Or a roast. But the only time he got up to say anything was when they were talking about his fucking owner getting a handjob. Like, shut the fuck up.
Starting point is 02:04:26 A hug. It was a hug. Yeah. Or a massage. And he got up at a roast and was like, don't say that shit again. Do you know where you are and who you are? Like, relax, man. There's nothing off limits at a roast. No, absolutely. Well, there is
Starting point is 02:04:41 apparently if you're fucking Ken Brady but anyway that was a great question that was incredible and thank you for letting me explore that because for sure I feel like if I had some advance notice I might have given maybe one or two different answers but all of those were very personal
Starting point is 02:04:58 answers alright Keith FMK West Virginia. The color orange. Home gym. Dude. This is fucking brutal.
Starting point is 02:05:17 Wow. I guess I got to kill West Virginia. I mean, that is my home state. I love all their sports. I mean, I only get home maybe once a year now. But, yeah, I mean, home is wherever my wife and fucking cats and my gym are. So I guess West Virginia is not really home anymore. It's just where I'm from.
Starting point is 02:05:36 Kill in West Virginia, even though I love it. I guess I'll fuck orange and marry home gyms. Yeah. That's kind of the order I thought it would yeah because i could have a i could have a home gym without orange but i couldn't have orange without a home gym right i don't know if i said that right but yeah i would yeah orange is very important but home gyms are more important i hear. That was a tough one. Yeah, yeah. I don't want to make you... No.
Starting point is 02:06:07 I did one more for both of you guys. This is more of a serious goose question. I'd just like to ask let's say you knew hey, Will Smith
Starting point is 02:06:18 and Men in Black are coming here and they're going to erase my memory but they're going to allow me to hold on to one single memory for my entire life.
Starting point is 02:06:24 What would it be? Everything else goes away. What would be the one? Marrying my wife. Nice. Because the other answer would be my kids. But I think marrying my wife would trigger, I still need to take care of these small, loud strangers. I don't think it would change who I am.
Starting point is 02:06:51 I think it would just change how I approach it. So definitely that one. That's a good angle on the question. It's good. Yeah. Well, I'm looking at it pragmatically. Yeah. Suddenly I walked in and I was like, oh, that's my wife.
Starting point is 02:07:06 I love her. And she was like, these are our kids. I would be like, these are our kids. I wouldn't fight it or argue with it. And I still think I'd be exactly where I am right now. I'd go lift big things. I'd go put down rock, lift barbell. Rock, go up.
Starting point is 02:07:24 So I think, yeah, I think that would hijack your question a little bit but i think that's my perspective on that one i like it uh of the same vein i mean obviously like i wouldn't i'm not gonna pick like if i if you said excluding family stuff i'd have a whole different you know caveat of like lifting stuff mass atomic stuff meeting people in person awesome stuff like that but But like, you know, at the end of the day, and most important thing in my life is my marriage and my relationship with my wife.
Starting point is 02:07:49 So, uh, the weekend we got engaged, honestly, that was, that was more about us than it was like a wedding is usually about other people and shit. So,
Starting point is 02:07:56 uh, getting engaged with my wife, um, that was very important to me. Cool. I like it. Well, that was a good one. Do you want anything else, buddy? Do you want to bring us
Starting point is 02:08:08 in for a landing? Yeah. That's it for me. I've enjoyed it. That was a fun... That was a good question. That was actually a good question, period. Sometimes people don't come in with questions, which is also fine. But I do think part of the
Starting point is 02:08:23 whole ask us a question thing is um really just so that crew can find we ask so many questions about crew we talk about ourselves a lot but i'm sure there's stuff out there that just like people just want to know or think they could roast us for or like any reason that's why i keep doing it i think it's a very important one and then also it has led to the mount rushmore it has led to unpaid underrated kicker fake like it's led to so many cool things you know he hanner asking keith the mount rushmore on the massonomics podcast and claiming they invented it was really funny because i do think that was uh big garrison that did that big andrew right that invented that
Starting point is 02:09:13 one i'm not sure i can't keep anything straight like i don't know what the fuck is canon on our podcast and their podcast anymore i really don't know i'm like did we do that did they take that like i know i stole some shit from them but did they steal anything from others? I don't fucking remember. I was fairly certain that Andrew Garrison did the Mount Rushmore thing and then it moved over. But I mean, it's just like it's not about us talking about
Starting point is 02:09:36 ourselves. It's genuinely about like what if? If you could ask me anything and I had to tell you honestly, I would. I think it makes for me, I think it makes us better podcasts. It makes me a better podcaster because getting like blindsided with
Starting point is 02:09:53 questions, it makes me kind of go like, Oh, that is this fucking hard. Like, like I, we get to ask all these easy, easy layup questions for people because they're like cherry picked
Starting point is 02:10:01 forum. But every now and then we kind of, you know, might have a little deeper or harder hitting one but we we get hit with shit that usually does like throw us off so it's uh it always would be nice to have you know because that's what we talked about i think i asked hanner or was like what did you guys ever think about like giving these you know asking someone the mount rushmore question like a couple hours in advance so they can kind of prepare he's like no never no no but my by my for sure everyone's answers would be 60 different if you gave them an hour to think about it but it's just like it is
Starting point is 02:10:29 so it's like i don't know how honest our answers are when it's so spur of the moment is it the brutally honest or is it just like you forgot like the one thing that really did mean something to you you just couldn't put your your brain wasn't working that day so i always have a little caveat like with that to it so i don't know but I enjoy it. It's one of my favorite segments. Right up there with Joey's silly question of the week. I was thinking about that the other day. I think we were tired at episode 20 or something probably. I just couldn't keep up.
Starting point is 02:10:58 It was so hard to continue coming up with those. Yeah. I mean, some of them are very effective and have led to canon and discord um but i just couldn't keep coming up with them like it's it's not that easy was the soup and salad was that one or was that just yes soup and salad was one it still lives on i think chicken cheesecake was a very funny answer. I don't give a shit. That was very funny. I screenshot it. I just got it.
Starting point is 02:11:27 Like, so I got the chick. I got the cheesecake part, but I didn't. Oh, that is. That's my two fucking things. You fucker. That's funny. Okay. Now I just now actually got that.
Starting point is 02:11:36 Yeah. I screenshot that and send it to Morgan. I was like, I don't give a fuck what Discord says. That was a good answer. Well, if you'd explained it, honestly, this is why we explain jokes, because I didn't get that when i read it the first time that it was a dig on me twice um that's pretty good sometimes we're sometimes our own sense of humor is too good that the other person just fucking doesn't get it but so much so much of the shit like i'm reading discord like on the fly sometimes too and it's like you know almost like need a full-time job to actually consume every bit of Discord
Starting point is 02:12:05 to its full extent. With that said, I think you just need to get some AI hired to just completely go over it. And then they'll come up with memes where they just take a sentence and put it over an Always Sunny Philadelphia
Starting point is 02:12:20 clip. Is that why Big Matt's not on tonight he's just too busy diving into more sunny in philadelphia he's just got so many followers he's just so overburdened with followers from his ai memes um you know her too like if if you if you make a comment on one of those and it's kind of witty and it gets response like i'm still getting fucking notifications from the comments i made on one of those like viral reels like six months ago and me too but fuck i don't i don't need these notifications anymore and it's like from no one it's it's from like no mutuals too it's like it's a hundred hundred people that you just don't follow you
Starting point is 02:12:57 and i'm like okay that's that's just weird i guess i guess it was a a funny comment though so anyway that's why he couldn't come out tonight because he's too busy making chat GBT. Hopefully he makes it out to lift hard. It would be nice to see him again. It would be nice to see him. And he's going to out-drink me. I know we joke about it a lot but he will out-drink me that night.
Starting point is 02:13:17 He's going to out-lift me for sure. I know that. He's a very strong man. I wish he had the video of his... He posted the story where his log went over his head uh and like fucked up his platform and i'm like oh man like that would have like yes we're glad you're safe but fuck that would have been a good video like as someone that posts like every single time that i hurt myself or miss a lift or like hit my head or something like oh they're it's it's good content a big
Starting point is 02:13:46 shout out to nate who posts or big nate our producer a for producing our podcast but also for um posting that he had a hornet in his gym and what he doesn't understand is he was like well in the garage i get hornets i'd never have this in the basement I get hornets all the fucking time except they're usually wrapped in webs and killed by spiders that's why I refuse to kill all the spiders in my basement so he was like
Starting point is 02:14:15 that's so fucking metal dude yeah I don't play well with spiders yeah so yeah we every once in a while I have to go and vacuum up dead hornets wrapped in webs. And I refuse to wrap up the spiders
Starting point is 02:14:32 because... Thank you, sir. Thank you for your service, spiders. That's smart. That would freak me out if I'm like mid-mid-lift and a fucking spider comes down on my chest when I'm benching or something. I'd probably shit myself.
Starting point is 02:14:43 Yeah, me too. So where do we find you at? wants to go first chad uh you can find me of course in the discord instagram handle is um chad underscore chad underscore hoochie h-u-c-c-i underscore strong chad oh I just actually got that it's like Chattahoochee.
