Welcome everyone to the 69th episode of the Unpaid and Underrated podcast. I'm Big Matt at MostlySquadVideos on the Instagram and I am joined by nobody. on the Instagram and I am joined by nobody it's just me after several dozen episodes of Keith and Joey giving me a hard time for ducking them on the podcast I'm finally here and of course they are not so big thanks to those guys appreciate you really coming full terms this joke and uh yeah I don't know what the hell i'm supposed to do here if i'm just gonna go ahead and commandeer this whole episode and do it by myself i don't know maybe if these guys don't show up then that's what i'm gonna have to do but i guess i could start doing that right now uh unless these guys show up right now so let's go ahead let's talk about the last episode of the Mastodonomics podcast.

It was episode number 438. We've got the strongest man on earth, Mr. Lewis, hat on, hat off. He is a perennial finisher on the podium, seems recently. A lot of these big straw man events. He looks like he's somebody to watch. Very, very good talker on the podcast. Seems very well polished. Got a lot of good YouTube content. Great following on Instagram.

I don't know, guys. I think that I'm going to have to go ahead and give this thing a 5 out of 5 iPod touches. It was a pretty damn good episode. So, going forward, I guess Keith and Joey still aren't here. So, I'm gonna

have to just keep going back on for the rest of the episode. Hey, man. What's up, buddy? What a day. I don't know if I'm even ready to record this review episode. Hey. I'm sick of shit. What are you guys doing? Fucking Matt's here?

Yeah. Did Nate give him the fucking link earlier or something? Who does that? No, he used his magical first comment YouTube powers. Fucking Matt's here? Yeah. Did Nate give him the fucking link earlier or something? What the shit? Who does that? No, he used his magical first comment YouTube powers to like hack the system. Listen, I haven't done that in a while. I gave up on that because everybody complained and whining about me having made a deal with the devil and trying to get first comments. So you can't use that against me anymore.

All right. Well, I guess can't use that against me anymore. All right. Well, I guess welcome to Unpaid and Underrated. Finally, we have Big Matt on episode, I guess this is episode 69. Episode nice. Episode nice. Nice. Yeah, and the best part is no bots. No bots to come after us every time you say the word.

You sound like a fucking bot. Oh, but I sound like a lot of things say the word you sound like a fucking bot oh but i sound like a lot of things right now i sound like a dirt troll say i need your clothes your boots and your motorcycle i need your clothes your boots and your motorcycle there we go who is your daddy and what does he do it doesn't even sound like arnold but it does sound smooth so how long did you you steal our podcast for? Where do I have to jump in at now? Are you already down to fucking least fun, most fun?

Where are we at? You guys are just going to have to listen. You have to talk to your technical guy there, and he's going to be able to tell you. He doesn't tell us anything. He doesn't even tell Keith that he has a microphone for the first 40 episodes. Well, fuck you guys. Well, you know, it's in my can this week.

I got a little fresca harkening back to the barefoot episode where they were talking all about fresca and how much they liked it. I got a 12 pack about a week or so ago and it was actually the last one. So they're growing on me. The first couple were so bitter and tart. But the more i look at them as far as like i actually read the indirection the the ingredients there's a shit ton of aspartame in it so it's kind of like don't trust everything you think is just a sparkling water because it could have just as much fucking fake sugar as a diet coke so at that point i'd rather have a diet

coke uh still pretty good but uh you know i don't know i like my sparkling waters fucking free of artificial shit. All right. I have an electrolyte because I feel like a bag of smashed assholes. I do have a couple of beers on the side there, but we're going to just handle this electrolytes for the first little bit. I've got some Zonics, which are now banned in Canada. Got some Vicks nasal spray.

Hopefully we can make it through this without dying awesome if I die, if I die I earn this episode that's it, that's the last will and testament you heard everybody, make sure Morgan emails it over to Nate yep so I got a glass, or can, of

Sip of Sunshine, which is a delicious beer from Vermont, from a company called Lost His Finest Liqu Sunshine, which is a delicious beer from Vermont from a company called Lost His Finest Liquids. It is one of the greatest IPAs in the world. And wash that down. I even got a nice little polar orange vanilla to wash that down. Not because I'm

trying to suck up to Keith or anything, just because my wife hates the orange vanilla flavors, and I know she won't steal them, and I like them. That's smart. That's smart. Orange vanilla is a good flavor. That's like orange creamsicle. That's a good flavor. I'm extremely jealous of your shirt this week, Matt.

You want to tell the listeners what you're wearing? This might be the first thing I think I bought from Mastonomics or one of the first things I bought from Mastonomics. It is the OG Yeah Buddy lightweight shirt. And it is one of my prized possessions. For anyone listening, you can actually read itics it is the og yeah buddy lightweight shirt and it is one of my prized possessions for anyone listening you can actually read it so it is not the uh last year two years ago released blurred version this is probably circa like 19 a you know 2019 or 2020 maybe

this is about the same time i started listening to the podcast in 2019 summer 2019 very fortuitous time if you're going to be building your own home gym as i later found out but uh it was a good time to get into massonomics nice what you got over there joey how's you wearing buddy uh i got the big coffin crew shirt going yeah that's that's that's ironic it better not be i got the uh the yellow yellow curl shirt on tonight, and everything's fitting a little better. You know, my little update on the weight loss, kind of stagnant on the scale, but shit's fitting better. Wedding ring's spinning a little more smoothly on my finger. Haven't got to the next belt notch yet, but just in general, the pants are fitting better.

So, you know, not happy with where the weight on the number the number on the scale but the you know the proof is in the pudding as far as shit just fitting a little looser so I'll take it that's the spirit indeed alright we should probably rate

did you already rate did you already ruin the thing and rate last week's episode without us man I gave an absolutely atrocious rating, a 5 out of 5 iPod. Hijacks the podcast and gives it a 5. I can't believe this guy. I'm sorry, guys. I'm sorry.

I'm calling you Big Jeff now. Keep ruining things. Yeah, you guys, quick chat about that little keg with the lift symbol on it. I won't get into too much detail because I don't know how far that's going to go, but I saw a couple crew commenting and tagging Masonomics in that, and that's a very blatant ripoff.

Clearly, Tommy's fucking logo. I wish I could remember the company's name. I was looking at it a minute ago, but I don't know. The company shall not be named. Oh, Strike Movement. Yeah, Strike Movement. You guys have called the wrath. minute ago but i don't know the company shall not be named they're probably better oh strike movement yeah strike movement you guys have have called the wrath of the unpaid interns

also it hasn't gone miller coors legal department it hasn't gone full tilt yet we'll see you know it hasn't it wasn't like tango charlie they kind of doubled down and i think that's what amplified people just fucking with them because they just kept defending it in blocking comments and as soon as some people as soon as a couple cruise comments got blocked like a hundred people swarmed to it it's like well you just acknowledge it and just you know say sorry or anything but just don't fucking block comments and delete shit like fuck you so we'll see how we'll see how this one turns out do you think strike movement is veteran founded? Not sure, but possibly they have a brick and mortar right here.

Not sure yet. I can't even laugh without dying a little bit. This is fucking unpleasant. We can do serious goose stuff if you want. We don't have to laugh and have a good time. Oh, we're supposed to laugh and have a good time here? I thought this was Keith's

serious therapy podcast. Last week's episode for me uh was it lucas had on hat hat hat hat on uh yeah hat off yeah yep it was enjoyable um honestly the thing i remember the most was because it's i think it's the one they recorded uh in the afternoon wasn't it um did they have two back-to-back recordings in the afternoon? Okay, sorry. I caught the, I don't, yeah. So I caught the one that was Lucas's. The, you know, unrelated to them, the lasting thing I remember

is I was listening to it in my van, sitting in the passenger seat. And I told my coworker, I was like, all right, I'm going to listen to this podcast for a while. And he kept fucking trying to talk to me the whole time. And I'm just like, like basically ignoring him. But every now and then I'd have to like take a plug out and be like, what? And then it'd be like, we want to talk about a fucking TV show. We talked about six hours ago.

I'm like, I'm, I'm fucking busy. Just give me like a half hour. I'll get back to you. Um, you know, for all those reasons, I'll go ahead and give it five out of five shitty coworkers. Uh, it's funny. I did listen to the episode, but I listened to it like three different, uh, slots between driving to and from work.

Um, I think that there was one thing where I wanted like directly message Tommy about three different slots between driving to and from work. I think that there was one thing where I wanted like directly message Tommy about something he said, and I want to say it was music related, but gosh, darn, if I can remember anything at this moment, I'm all whacked out on a lot of different drugs. So I'm going to give that five out of five allergy and cold and flu pills.

Touching on music a little bit. The jack white update still not a fan shut up a bunch of his stuff so fucking impressed and then um and no everyone gives me a hard time for that but then a lot of people that are giving me shit either said it was unpaid or has never seen a river runs through it so if you haven't watched that movie i can't take your opinion on music series not that you know music i know but no it's related in the fact that you have culture and class and i only i only like things that came out before the year 2000 everything else is shit i'm not even giving a chance yeah get off my lawn my pants are up to my nipples yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. But no, in all seriousness, I think I every time I tried to listen to it, I was just like, no, I'm not that I like YouTube or Oasis, but just for the irony, I was like, I'm gonna

listen to YouTube and Oasis instead because I can always tolerate their music. So no, Oasis is trash. They got like four really good songs. Name them. Remember high school? Name them. Oh, is it Wonderwall? Who's the other band? Nope.

Oasis and who? U2. U2. I thought you said U2. I heard U2 a bunch of times. Possibly. I don't know. U2. The best U2 song would be Disco Tech for sure. What? You guys are laughing.

That's another reason to hate Apple products. Speaking of things that I like that nobody else does, but this one might actually people like. What did I watch? The movie The Gentleman. I think you had talked about it before. The Guy Ritchie movie. Watched that tonight. Solid.

I wanted to give it an 8 out of 10, but I don't think it was right there. It was a solid 7.5. Nate doesn't think that 7.5 exists, but to me it was a 7.5. And I'm probably going to binge the series this weekend, I think. Well, the series just got renewed, right? Good. Yeah, so I haven't seen the show itself. But the movie, if anyone's looking to bust my chops, go watch that and tell me it's not a 7.5.

No, it's a great movie. I'm trying to work on a meme from that right now when he's at the dinner he's at the table and the salt and pepper shake is oh yeah sure i got something like i just can't get it but it's gonna be something it's a good one uh did anybody get a chance to uh watch the the youtube video last week they keep fucking with us on when they come out sometimes they come out thursday sometimes come out wednesday this one fucking i think was supposed to come out today at like the discord was telling me it came out at four o'clock and then like 10 minutes later it said oh tomorrow at 11 i'm like well fuck uh so

i had to go edit the notes again it's like what the fuck was the one from last week i was like yep it was so it was uh tanner and tommy going showing off the uh the york dumbbell collection so obviously that was pretty cool for me to see as one of the you know the first crew to finish their dumbbell collection from york uh it was nice to see as one of the, you know, the first crew to finish their dumbbell collection from York. It was nice to see that Tanner finally got all his in place. I think he finished it a few months ago, but he didn't actually get the last one delivered to the gym until the lift hard. So that was cool. I don't know if anybody else got a chance to watch that.

I did not. Yeah, I got to take a look at it uh recently but i was actually surprised that how quote unquote cheap it was given he's got two thousand was it two thousand pounds yeah dumbbells for not even five thousand dollars right i think about five thousand it was did he say six to seven i think maybe i'm trying to think i so on my spreadsheet i've got i've i basically just took a guesstimate of what i paid i I'm into mine about $3,500. And I think he was in closer to, I wouldn't say double, but he was a couple grand more than that. He was saying he's paying like $250 or so a pound, I think is what he said.

Yeah, it all varies because like you said, you can pay a fucking $800 for a pair of nines. For the nines, yeah. But then he said he got his hundreds cheap. He only paid $500 for his hundreds. I've seen hundreds go for a grand. So he got those really cheap. I appraise mine closer to like i don't know eight grand to give or take like hot hot top end if like if you had to buy a complete set but then it's like you know people are bitching moan about the finish and if you have painted ones that you have you have usa stamp

ones so it's all debatable of what they're actually worth but he didn't necessarily overpay and i'm curious of how much if he factored shipping into some of those or not or he just went off sales price and he actually got a steal too because crew the the crew labor and sweat to get him to him like the handoff was at least two thousand dollars or a thousand dollars if people like you know if he had to pay a shipping company or something so So he got those for a pretty decent bargain, I'd say. But yeah, I can kind of feel when I completed mine, it probably took me three or four, it's called two and a half, three years.

But that's also because I wasn't invested. Like I didn't overpay for too many of them. And I fucking drove all over the, you know, the Northeast to get a couple. There's, you know, I think I went to like four different States to get them. But like, it's like the immediately when you finish it, it's just that like fucking, Oh man, what now? It's like, it's like, there's no, there's like the smallest amount

of accomplishment, but then it's just like this void of like that, that hobby and task I've had for the past, like two years of like constantly having something to search for and look for on marketplace and Craigslist and like communicating and like, you know, your other buddies that are in that world trying to like you know do trades and shit like that's done you don't have that like that uh you you know you you you don't get that fix anymore of like a adrenaline so you know i'm curious to see what he uh fills that void with bunny globes man yeah he said it he's gonna do bunning globes next yeah he he said maybe i think but yeah that would uh i don't know i've i've had glunt i've had both of those in the past and i just don't like the way they feel i don't like how inaccurate they are because they

are you know significantly older than the roundheads so they're just you know not accurate in my opinion um and i don't want to use dumbbells that fucking are like seven percent off it's a pretty decent amount um and other uh uh fuck me i can't stutter tonight and other equipment news i got some uh some new stuff for the uh the no wine cellar um for the no wine cellar strongman jim that is um garage isn't it yeah is it debatable we can call it whichever and that's what some meme account called it i like to call it the no wine cellar strongman gym but yeah the no wines the no wine garage is out there as well uh got a new axle from black widow training gear and ironically the same day my wife uh shout out to stephanie she literally had surprised me with

a pair of uh farmer's handles that I didn't know were coming. So the funny thing was they literally showed up at the same time. Actually, the funnier thing was she thought they were supposed to come at like noon that day. And they were just delayed till after we both were home from work. And so she had a nice card on the door basically, you know, telling me she supports my strongman journey. And like the card hinted at a gift but it was kind of vague so when i was reading it and there wasn't a present with it i was like is the present the card and like your support or is there a gift but you're obviously not going to ask like like i'm not going to like text her and be like is there a present to go with this and be an asshole so uh

when she got home from work really she was kind of like oh yeah i'm sorry there was supposed to be a gift i was like oh, I didn't want to assume. And then when they came in, they were great. I love them. Don't like Titan in general, but those handles seem pretty good. It's kind of funny. I had just sold off my last Titan stuff last year. I was kind of like proud to say I had a Titan free gym and now I do not have a Titan free gym.

But I have one of their better products if you were to like pull people. So definitely growing the strongman equipment and it's pretty awesome yeah i did the same thing when i sold off my titan ssb i was like yeah i don't have any more elite fts1 i don't have any titan stuff and then uh i need a yoke and i need a log like oh i could spend 1500 and get it from rogue or i could spend like six hundred dollars and get both of those from titan like it's tough to beat man it's tough to beat i enjoy that log it's uh it's i like it because it's like it sucks that it's not wide but also like moving a hundred pound log versus moving an 85 pound log sucks like and storing the rackable ones a lot easier than storing an unrackable i feel so like i'm not upset with it uh and it works for me and yeah i i will say after the lift hard i definitely wish i had that mike bardos one just because like he said i have a small gym it's a lot easier for me to put that

rackable one in the corner it's a lot easier but two like you know it's like powerlifting i picked an opener that i could triple and i did triple on my rackable bar on my rackable log a few weeks prior. Right. And I don't know what it was, man. Like my, my triple that I easily did on the rackable bar, uh,

the rackable log. I just had trouble doing on that. Mike Bardo's log. Like it was just, I don't know if that extra way is the extra width. Like it just, it made it so much more difficult. I feel like we all died. I think anyone that's with talk, I think we might've talked about on here. I know is the extra width. Like it just, it made it so much more difficult. I feel like we all died.

I think anyone that's with talk, I think we might've talked about on here. I know Tanner talked about it. Like everyone only hit like 90, 95% on their log of what they thought they would. Like if that, I mean like fucking Chris is got a pretty strong press and he fucking bombed out on something.

He's like doubled and tripled and shit. So it's like, it's the, the, the acts, the, the log fucking destroyed people. But you know, you drank for three days straight prior to that, I feel.

So that probably maybe didn't help. And we're definitely dehydrated. And it was 1074 degrees in that gym. Celsius. Yeah, Celsius. Yeah, 25 degrees Celsius. Yeah, you know, I'm functioning at peak efficiency. i don't know what you're talking about yes sir uh well was there anything else in the massonomics or lifting or unpaid world in the last week or so

anybody uh wanted to chat about before we get a get a little sponsor read going no no no no um i think stephanie right now is in um new mexico yes she is on her way home right now actually so it's been bachelor life here, which literally means I just sit on the couch and watch TV and don't do anything because like, I don't know. It's just, you know, very, like having my partner at the house, man.

It sucks being alone for sure. And she posted a picture that she was at a restaurant, but she would not review the chicken parm for me. I did ask. She did. She wasn't. Yes yes she did tell me something about that and i was like kind of i was like i don't know i had to go look at it and like oh he's just he's trolling me i got a kick out of that but trolling everybody yeah but yeah she

was out there for a few days she's on her way home right now so actually if i did disappear for like 90 seconds in the next hour and a half it's gonna be because i'm gonna go hug my wife but i haven't the nerve all right uh matt do you have an ad read for us here about our friends at massonomics you know i ask myself often what do you say about the lifting podcast about nothing do you like pop culture references that only folks in the submasters age bracket would get do you refuse to watch damon sim Simon's magnum opus about crime in Baltimore? Is lifting and drinking all you know? If so, check out the Mastinomics podcast. Hell, listen to all the episodes to include the backlog.

Right, Joey? You can do nothing but listen to the backlog for eight hours a day, and it would take you weeks to get caught up. There is so much content. Not only have these guys from West and Northeast South Dakota been releasing a podcast episode every week for the past eight years, but Tanner will be posting more content twice a day on Instagram than told the heat death of the universe.

What? They're also uploading masterfully edited video content on YouTube as well? What can't these guys do? I'll tell you what they can't do. Say no to your money. These guys are literally just throwing their logo or plain shorts in a regularly shaped t-shirt blanks and charging people more for them go to massonomics.com slash shop if you want to know more and also get a supportive membership while you're at it

for everyone who wants to know how to get strong stay strong use their strength there's massonomics nice well done uh and tanner that was a uh the wire reference that you wouldn't get and uh to to hearken back up to the general topics real quick, one thing that I didn't mention that we talked about, one of the posts that Tanner did that was actually extremely well edited, that was the American Psycho of the business card meme, where it was people showing their home gems. So me, Brandon, and Efren were all featured. And I mean, I still think I should have got you know the the you know the the the bigger feature but now it was still pretty cool um obviously Efren you know he has Brian Shaw

in his gym and he's got a you know a hundred thousand dollar gym so uh it was still pretty cool to be even in the same breath as Brandon and Efren so appreciate that Tanner yeah when he did the white because of Brandon's whole stormtrooper thing like perfect just matched up beautifully with it i was uh impressed with that and it was funny because like i didn't realize it took me a second to be like wait they were showing business cards not cell phones so like i'm curious if he actually did that or if that was a template there's a template for you okay because i'm like that seems like just putting our our videos inside the phones would have been hard enough let alone changing the fucking business card to a phone first.

So, uh, but well done Tanner. It's kudos to you, buddy. I don't know how you fucking post twice a day. It's tough, man. With great skill and dedication. That's how. So speaking of great skill and dedication, should we get our guest on the horn? Oh, I thought we were gonna talk about kicking the, uh, the listeners out. Cause I don't think our guest has great skill and dedication should we get our uh guest on the horn oh i thought we

were gonna talk about kicking the uh the listeners out because i don't think our guest has great skill or you know but yes god damn big match at you buddy yeah that's me welcome to the unpaid underrated podcast episode 69 you are here that's crazy that i'm here for this episode yeah it's like someone there's no way you're gonna plan that no no for like almost a year i want a guy should go back and look at the dms and see if it like because now when we say like a year ago like it's been more than a year from like when we've because uh but the last week grant said like oh you guys ain't going for a year and i'm like it was a year like in the springtime and it's like fucking almost fall so yeah it's

more like basically 18 months or just under, I think. So very cool. Yeah. Glad to have you, buddy. And so welcome. Glad to be here. So we'll hit you off with the hardest one. We always hit people with, you know, what brought you to Masonomics?

Let me hear your origin story. So back, like I said, in the summer of 2019, I was in my local Gold's and I saw somebody put like a 10, a 25, a 5, a 5 a 35 a 45 and a 10 all in the same post and I that was like the straw that broke the camel's back for me I was like I can't deal with this anymore I gotta make my own gym and so with the help of two general contractors in my family and a couple friends I was able to basically get that shed built in my backyard in about four days time. And it was very fortuitous because summer of 19, COVID was just around the corner. Everything shut down.

And so I was very happy to have a home gym. But in the meantime, I needed to decorate my home gym. And at the time, I was listening to a bunch of like Stronger by Science, Barbell Medicine, because I was really worried about surface EMg activation different types of leg exercises and five percent increase in this and i was listening a lot of stuff i'm like man i'm so weak as shit i should probably just listen to some podcasts that make me laugh and are pretty entertaining and i remember i think it was one of alan for all's videos where they had the don't curl and me flag in the background and one of them's like i gotta i'm gonna put that in my gym and so i ended up looking for it found it

kept looking like oh this is my kind of humor and yeah it was uh first episode i think i listened to was will it fit under the bed and then caught up and then a couple years later decided i wanted to go in the backlog too which is also good because it ended up being a thing on the Hall of Fame membership. So that worked out pretty well as well. But yeah, so it's been about five years now. And then I'm a support member for. In September, yes, September will be my next checkmark for the Hall of Fame when I hit my anniversary for the support membership. It's impressive.

It's been a little while. That's great. my anniversary for the sport membership it's impressive it's been a little while that's good i always like when people come in like when they're that early to like when someone tells me their first podcast was like prior to them even getting guests on regularly i was like damn like so you like that's there's not a lot of people that probably started that early because that's just listening to fucking two dudes talking about just nothing literally and like like to find that like i get when you find the podcast because someone else you follow on instagram shares their story and you know you're like oh what's this that's two dudes about lifting talking about you know but like they're getting guests but like

to to to naturally find massonomics podcast without it being from a guest you already follow like that's actually impressive and pretty cool yeah no i was glad i found it and yeah i've still listened i think i still listen to barbell minister once in a while and things like that austin's funny guy and i like his sense of humor but yeah it's like the one podcast i've been listening to consistently every week for the last several years nice you could you could do massonomics the way i do which is two guys that i only kind of know and sometimes a third person that i don't know talking about stuff that i only kind of know about yeah that's that's the key to the massonomics i just thought it's funny i didn't even know and somebody that you like brings you in and i'm like i don't even know who that person was it was jonathan oldham uh yeah all right um so where do we find you and your

2.5 000 followers or whatever you got am i all the way up to 2500 followers that's crazy i am at most squat videos all one word although serious thought has been given and to change the mostly mean videos but i think for the time i'm just going to keep the same account and on discord and discord i am the og big matt as much as big matt to electric boogaloo and i fight about it sometimes who was the first one to be big matt the discord i i have big matt in my name and no extra extraneous letters or numbers afterwards. But Big Matt, too. If I had to do a Big Matt, too, I would have picked Electric Boogaloo as well.

So good on him for that. Nice. And where are you from and where are you living now? I mean, the accent kind of gives it away. Where's my hometown? Where'd I grew up? Yeah. So I grew up in a crappy little part of rhode island and northeast part

of rhode island town called patucket and if you tell from my accent i got a little bit of going on even residually after not living there for a number of years but grew up in rhode island went to college of mass uh traveled all over the plate in the united states for a little while for work and then ended up finding myself in northern virginia just just outside DC down here with a bunch of other transplants because most of the people that live in the area that I am they're same thing they come from all over and you know they're just all different parts of the country my neighbor like a block down is is from 20 minutes away from me in Rhode Island like just yeah all over the place nice yeah my uh my my parent company's in rural island so every time i you know there was a bunch of rhode island stuff speckled in your notes i was like oh

that's like that's a that's a town that i recognize because i have an office there what town uh well they're in cranston but i i know the pocket i've definitely heard of before and rhode island itself is always like because like they they've tried to manage our, our New York state branch from like Rhode Island. And they're like, they don't fathom that it takes like eight hours to get from one side of the state to the other, because you can drive from fucking Rhode Island 25 minutes and be either

border. And I'm like, I literally, I'm not sure eight hours might be exaggerating, but it's like six, a minimum six hours from one side of the next. Like, I have jobs regularly that are like five, six hours away. So, just, you know,

Rhode Island and me have a little beef about that, basically. Of them not understanding how fucking big New York State is. Dude, we are spoiled as Rhode Island is because anything longer than a 20-minute car ride is too long. But you get a pack of lunch if you go going 30 minutes.

When Tanner and Tommy talk about, oh, yeah, it's just a three-hour drive. You out of your mind? I think driving all the way to the United States after I got out of New England kind of desensitized me to that a little bit, but for the longest time growing up, it's like, if you drive more than 20 minutes, put a sleeping bag in your car, you might get stuck somewhere, bud.

No doubt. One piece of Mastanomics merch that you've been around long enough, so there's probably not a whole lot you haven't had a chance to get, but what's one thing that you don't have that you want? So my problem now is, again, with the irregularly sized blanks, is some of the shirts I'm a 2XL in and some of the shirts I'm an XL in. And this Buddy Light shirt is an XL. I would love to have it in a 2XL and some of the shirts I'm an XL in. And this Buddy Light shirt is an XL. I would love to have in a 2XL. It's just the ability to go back and maybe get some of my tighter fit and XLs and the size up because it was a small, weak person. And I'm a bigger, weak person. Well, pick one then.

You can't ride the line. I mean, I get that philosophy at all. I 100% get that philosophy. You can't ride the line. I mean, I get that philosophy at all. I 100% get that philosophy. But if I could get a fresh 2XL version of a Buddy Light shirt, that would be... Because this is still my favorite shirt from them.

It's fantastic. And I wish they could sell it some more. But if I get a 2XL version of that, that'd be great. Yeah, I think Ronnie has boxes of those in his garage. He's just holding on to it. He's not willing to let go of it just yet Tanner buried him in a hole somewhere We just gotta find out where he buried him

And then we're gonna be fine We're gonna be rich That's good stuff You already hit on your Hall of Fame a little bit earlier But officially where are you at And what's this get you tonight So I gotta do either Crew Falls Or go to the Arnold after the night

To get the jacket no i gotta do 15 to get the jacket right so i'm gonna 16 total right because you're already in the hall of fame right definitely yeah so i got 12 i got four years coming up in a couple weeks and then i either got to go to the arnold or crew falls to get that 15 gotcha so if i i think somebody's probably going to beat me to it but i've been kicking around the idea like talking to murph and mad cow maybe about driving over to columbus because it's only like six hours or so away okay that's not just going for like a day or so i don't know just just make sure you don't have to see him nate yeah that guy my arch nemesis my oldest arch nemesis um we had the whole reason i was able to go to lift hard live easy last year

was because i already prepped my wife like hey i'm i'm gonna go to the arnold this year i want to finally go and check it out it's not that far away and then when taryn tommy announced the meet it was like i don't want to go there anymore it's gonna be yeah someone that's been to both like the lift hard is dramatically more cool than the arnold more. It's going to be, yeah, someone that's been to both. Like, the Liftard is dramatically more cool than the Arnold. The Arnold's cool to do once. Like, I mean, I'll prob them. I'm like, there's a 60% chance I'll do the Arnold next year. But Liftard Livesey is just

its own fucking animal. And especially if you're going for the massonomics aspect of it. You're just going to, like, go and fucking, you want to get a backpack full of free supplements, which I never saw the allure to. And I'd be like, I just got to carry that shit. Like, I be like i just gotta carry that shit like i don't want your free like i really don't want your free products like i really don't sorry like i like well yes give me one free monster or some like bang energy drink or whatever like in the morning but i don't need to like take shit home and like have pre-workout to go home like i never i never understood the point of that i guess yeah

but why would you want to go to the ar Arnold and have somebody nicely hand you a sample when you can have angry Den Jammer Damager Damager throw supplements at your face and yell at you for the benefit of her Instagram profile. She was the Build Fast Fairy.

I mean, what would you rather have, to be honest? And speaking of Jen, thanks for using our code unpaid at PlateSnacks for your stickers. We saw that story this week and it didn't go unnoticed. Thank you. Do you want me to tell? Sorry.

Sorry. I had to squeeze that little, you know, squeeze that little... Yeah, a game we like to play. It's called... God, I'm so sick. Use our affiliates. Like, at the last...

Let's hard live easy. Let's get ready to do it. Like, me and Matt were just tied at the hip through the entirety of the weekend. And, yeah, like, nothing was serious, but everything was serious. It was so much fun. So that's why, yeah,

why I'm giggling like a ninny so which was it did was one of you the ones that pointed out that um the bw3 waiter was big david or was that one of the other guys that was me that was you nice yeah that was me stuff uh but we were all there together at the time yeah that's a lot like even when we were like we're not going to b-dubs like i think you and i were like no we're not going to b-dubs like i think you and i were like no we're not going to b-dubs for lunch today we've been there every day yeah three other people were like we're at b-dubs who's coming and you and i were both like i guess we're going to b-dubs like we were there twice a day for every day that we were there

yeah and it was the worst yeah I had no desire to go. I joined you guys last year. You might not have been there, Joey. But I was like, this is shitty food. And I gotta go out later. I don't know. It just wasn't for me. But it probably

had better chicken parm than fucking Roma's did. Yeah, it was no chicken parm. Chicken wings are probably better than the chicken parm than fucking roma's dude yeah it was no chicken parm well the chicken wings are probably better than the chicken parm that you ate bud that too at least they were consistent even while they were trying to kick us out here's your check uh we would like to continue drinking more delicious alcohol sir yeah put this take this back yeah oh my bad i added that one drink to this no like you don't grasp what's happening here yeah i don't like i don't understand what that was all about like i i don't know i like i've worked in a restaurant before i've never been like oh it's

dead i'm not making any money oh that's only customers i have get them out like yeah what are you doing dude well and we were like are you settling up and she's like oh no no i'm not done for a couple hours and we're like then what are you doing here yeah yeah i'm gonna keep drinking these beers as long as you put them in front of me sweetie i guess the only thing you see is if if she was like an actual server and not the bartender and she was just covering the bar and she just like annoyed us she was the actual bartender the other guy too who was serving like one of the other many times that we were there god knows how many times

he was the same way like what? give me another beer me and Matt are playing trivia on the tv and drinking beer like keep them coming yeah like Lemmy at the at the edge of the bar playing those little VLTs thing.

Happiest pigs and shit, man. That exactly is what we did the entire time. When everybody else was quiet, just me and you would start yelling answers out to the children. Jackal! Jackal! You want to do a little least fun, most fun there, Big Matt? Are you ready for this game?

I'm going to get some cough medicine, BR give you a gonna give you a topic and you gotta tell me the least fun and the most fun thing about it all right so all right uh to harken onto the uh the mostly squat videos page uh i haven't looked since it was a couple days ago but you were at 26 point whatever uh thousand that is uh that's a pretty big number so least fun most fun having 26 000 followers on instagram there's there's really no positive to it like i like i have to put out two things a day it's like so i've talked to tanner about this like why are you posting at 9 30 and 4 30 every day that's what i'm doing it's like did you google like hey what time should i be posting on instagram for maximum engagement like yeah same thing so that's that's why you post twice a day you post 9 30 post a 4 30 and you've got to have something every freaking day to post at 9 30 or 4 30 whether or

not you've prepared a bunch of stuff or not and i think the way i get around that is you get in a creative move like all right i'm gonna make like five or six memes i'm like i'm good for the rest of the day i'll throw in a couple lifting videos to kind of make sure i don't have to do one less meme but you know just having to come up with that stuff and it's there's no point that i'm doing it there's no point that i'm like i'm not doing it for any financial gain like nothing's monetized you're not a brand necessarily that you're growing so it's not like yeah you're not funneling it into anything else because you're not so you didn't sell your soul to fucking like do ads and shit or anything so yeah it's it's it's just a creative outlet but it seemed and like i i enjoy it for that like i've always had you know something i'm doing creative wise like playing instruments

or painting or making memes uh all in the same you know group obviously um but it's just it's a nice creative outlet but at the same time it's like uh i it's a pain in the ass try to get two posts every day it's it kind of like every once in a while like all right what am i really doing this for like should i just sell this to a chinese scanner scammer account so they can like give me five thousand dollars and they can bombard you guys with ads for things? I can follow you. So that's that's my money for it. Sell it off the pillar for he loves that shit.

I'm not going to tell anybody either. I'm just going to pretend you never did. I'm just going to pretend like it never happened. Pretend you never did. Yeah, pretend like it never happened. Have you considered, though, maybe just taking some scenes from a popular television show and adding a vague reference to powerlifting and doing that twice a day? I don't know. I've got a couple TV shows I really like, like Friends. I really like watching Friends.

I think I could do that for Friends. That's a really funny show. really like watching friends i think i could do that for friends that's a really funny show um just any any show on like cbs that they have to advertise like during football that is just not like a cringy show at all like i could i think i could probably get behind some of that and yeah like yeah if it has more than four camera angles per episode like it's probably shit right yeah you want to sit to those three camera angles laugh track like it's probably shit right yeah you want to sit to those three camera angles laugh track yeah those those yeah yeah get in on because if you don't have the laugh track it makes it sound like they're all psychopaths yeah yeah those those

shows yeah you really want uh like the big bang theory that's that's the big one that i hear i'm gonna break our little joke here don't get me started on fake nerds and real nerds because i actually went to school with real nerds. Uh huh. Every time I see that, it's just like, like I said before, I do not like watching football on CBS because they advertise for these god awful shows. And it's America's favorite watch show. I can't understand how you people watch this god awful trash. Yeah.

And I probably just alienated half of the people that follow me right now yeah it's an unpopular opinion for sure but i'm pretty sure i read like an essay on just how penny is the main character and her entire role is to make fun of all of the other people in the show and make them seem weird and out of the ordinary and yeah i've actually never seen that so i don't even know which character you're referring to i just understand the premise of this yeah and i know that they're not like there's there's no way and like just the clips i see on little bits in instagram and it's like hey you you like nerdy stuff and 40k and all this other science like you should watch the show on cbs like no it's not the same thing no no it's not yeah anyway so to circle back

least fun and most fun you kind of uh just fucking uh brothers for four hours um okay so i mean i'll answer for him so the least fun thing about it is dealing with the people and the most fun thing is a creative outlet fair i took the mark on that i'm sorry guys it's all right i'll get better with the next one it's a game we like. That's because I came back from my cough syrup break and hijacked, so I'm sorry. You're good. Let's see. What is...

What's a she's gym? I didn't get the typo. It was supposed to be a shed gym. A she shed? I honestly don't remember typing that. I must have. She apostrophe S. Yeah, it was supposed to be a shed.

It's supposed to be like a she shed, I think. Yeah. It was just shed gyms in general. What is one doing in a she shed? A she shed is... Post memes? No, it's like... It sells seashells by the seashore no you create seashells to sell

on your etsy account they're artisanal handmade shells that's what you make in your seat in your she shed yeah artisanal is what makes them expensive exactly yeah they're organic too um so but there's like the she shed is very much like an artsy-fartsy kind of creative expression thing. And so when I was very happy with the shed that I made, and I showed it to some of my friends, like, you got a She Shed. And I think that's one of my fraternity brothers that probably said that. Oh, that's interesting.

That or my wife. That was just literally me having a typo, probably, because it was under least fun, most fun, and I'm the only one that types the topics for those. Now we made it way more interesting. Yeah, it's fine. I'll take lemonades, man. I'll make lemonade out of them.

Come on. Is that what Fubar's known for doing? Jeez. So is that from Tango and Cash? I'd hope so. It was like the first time I ever heard that was Tango and Cash. Isn't it from Fubar? So there's the movie FUBAR.

I've never heard of that. I know it was fucked up on recognition and from Tango and Cash. Yeah, so there's FUBAR from Saving Private Ryan. 97 Saving Private Ryan came out. And I think for a while my online

gamertag was FUBAR some derivative. 6969. 6969, of course. 420. And then it became my nickname in college for various reasons. And it's just kind of low lifers. But they were very funny in how they did everything.

And there are some quotes in that movie that are just fantastic. They made two movies. The first one was a lot better than the second one. The second one was not too bad. But it's absolutely hilarious. Somebody was like, dude, you wish you were Diener. I was like, I don't wish I was Diener.

It's awful, but I was like, okay, I can see how the metal and just some of the other aspects of Diener are like, okay, yeah, I can see that. I'm so sorry. What was the question again? Where are we? Fubar specifically.

Did you watch the. Yeah, you fucked that one up already. We're not doing that one again. Did you watch the Netflix Arnold Schwarzenegger series Fubar that came out last year? I watched like two thirds of it. And then it's not great, but it was OK. I was I was having a couple of beers with my buddy. Like we watched the first like this is awesome you know having a couple couple chardonnays and watching some ridiculous

over the top stuff but then yeah i kind of like lost its luster a little bit yeah i think i got yeah about two-thirds yeah it definitely was not his highest moment yeah all right so keith where else you got here buddy i'm struggling to breathe i'm fucking dying right now man so i feel so bad because i'm like my friend matt like i want to be so here and present for matt and instead i'm just like heavy breathing on me dave on my ear you like tacos dan bell dave tay what are you yeah um so you had uh used to be a so i see you out there doing getting some cardio and now you know you're embracing your how dare you you're uh no ryan defay out there with posting the most god-awful fucking post-run selfies and shit um so it looks like you started out as a runner is that

something or uh you had a knee surgery that caused you to shift yeah yeah tell me yeah give me your whole lifting history and uh running and liftings in there somewhere and you know drinking and lifting and all that of course um so for about 10-15 years i was running primarily i was between 165 175 pounds and uh victim weight as joey would call it let's victim weight yeah i was under 200 pounds and so i got to i think 2012 i'd always gotten hurt like running up for a marathon and my training would go to like 75 like something would happen my it band my knee my knee, my ankle, something. And I always end up like, all right, I'm not going to do it. And I finally got to 2012.

I said, I'm going to do a marathon. I don't care. Like, I just got to just do one. And I started getting knee pain again. And it's like, all right, screw it. I'm powering through it. And finished the marathon. Not a very good time.

But I ended up having to go to the orthopedic surgeon afterwards. And they ended up having to scope my knee.opedic surgeon afterwards and they ended up having to scope my knee because it was if it kind of felt like it was a torn meniscus but they actually found i had this thing called a plica in my knee which is like this excess tissue that you've always kind of had but it only aggravated me when i ran more than like 35 so i know the marathon is fucking 30 is that 36 miles 26.2 but you're you're generally running a lot more um prior to that so there's a couple weeks that peak before the marathon it's like same thing like like strength training like you're peaking beforehand then you're kind of relieving

some of the stress and try to realize your gains but there's a couple weeks where you'll be running 35 40 plus miles and you're like your last year long run on sunday is a 20 mile run um so those things were just they were killing me and you know it's just to get to the point like i'm just doing this to help the consequences and the consequences was knee surge so when i was incubating from that buddy of mine who was uh just reading starting strength at the time he was like hey, you gotta check out this blue book. Check it out. It's gonna be the thing that's gonna help

joint issues that you've basically developed from running for the last 15 years. And sure enough, I feel a lot better ankle, joint, everything wise than I did when I was running. Just not getting beat up all the time

pounding the pavement and uh i've just been running very minimally just try to do like just a little bit of conditioning so that way i can lift more and transition to doing more strong man just doing basic cardio is something i neglected when i did like my first strong man meet and it just freaking killed me and uh i don't want to do that again so i'm looking at potentially doing another meet and another strongman comp in like december and i don't want to be having conditioning issues again so i'm trying to get ahead of the game now that's awesome so you have a so more of a power power living background there for a bit but now trying to transition more into strongman are you going

to do like a little hybrid? Like I'm kind of thinking. Yeah, I don't, we got a really good state chair in Virginia, this guy, Saber Schnitzer, and he's like,

he's still throwing all that money at it. Cause I know like he was trying to blow USAPL up for a second and then everyone left anyway. Cause he, he basically took like a $50,000 loss hosting that Virginia nationals, whatever the fuck. Yeah. But that even did even do it to this.

Cause that was like two or three years ago, and I don't think he did it at the same level after that, because I don't think he realized he literally just lost money. He's still doing cash meets, and that's, he's got a big one coming up in the wintertime, and he's not, like, all the equipment's still there, so like, all that video wall stuff, like, all the stuff that he bought,

kind of out of pocket, he's still carting around all of Virginia. In fact, he's starting to, he's trying to still expand it, so's he's still the state chair but he's trying to get other people to run meets now on top of that because he's kind of like mainly in the northern virginia area and manassas and ashburn he's trying to branch out to other parts of virginia the last couple years but now he's looking for other people to run meets like throughout virginia because virginia is a pretty big state and it's it's kind of tough to get to some of the other spots he's he's looking for other people to run meets like throughout Virginia because Virginia is a pretty big state and it's kind of tough to get to some of the other spots. He's still trying to expand.

Like, I feel guilty not doing his powerlifting meets because the guy cares. Like, he's legitimately like a good state chair. And unlike some of these other state chairs that are out there. And I feel bad for not powerlifting. But at the same time, the last time I took my wife to a powerlifting meet, she was eight months pregnant with our daughter. And it was an air-conditioned gym in July in Virginia. And she's like, I need to get out of here. This is too much.

And the last couple of straw man shows have been at breweries and things like that. And everybody's hanging around, having a good time. It's a lot more of a spectator friendly sport to do so i have a lot more fun doing it and i know that like my daughter has fun like watching my wife is still probably indifferent but she doesn't complain as much that the strongman because there's you know take that as a win yeah so it's a lot easier to go to stuff like that spend eight nine hours in a sweaty gym in manassas for waiting for me to do nine different lifts i want to do a strongman show in a brewery that sounds fun like that sounds like so much more like i mean i i'm lucky i have a really good strongman um like guys that i put on a couple you know two or three shows a year but it's like you know just in their gyms like definitely not an event thing um i mean it's

an event to go do it but it's not like a they're not you know they'd lose money if they fucking rent it somewhere if they had to pay 10 grand to rent something for a weekend or something or even a couple grand they'd lose money because they're probably barely breaking even i'll keep you posted there's one right here on the canadian side in niagara falls right pre-covid they were doing them all the time so i'll see if they do them anymore. But it was Strongman at a brewery. And yeah, it's probably an hour from me and two hours from you. Yeah, we'll get Big Matt to come up and boot.

Just an eight-hour drive. It'll be all right. Just an eight-hour drive for Matt. It's nothing. So being somebody... You can fucking run that. Here's a fun thing. I don't know if I ever pointed this out on the podcast.

I live... I'm doxing myself a bit here uh near one of the warplane heritage museums um one of the biggest in canada and it's really funny to me that um i probably live i have the luxury of living in one of the only countries and cities in the world when a warplane flies overhead, you get to look up and go, cool, and not go diving for your life. But as a result of that, I cannot fly drones because I live too close to the airport. So how does one become a licensed drone pilot?

So as I like to frequently point out to my wife, as far as the fa is concerned i am a card carrying licensed pilot i had to go for a pilot's exam and everything in order to get my part 107 license so i can fly a drone now that being said the airspace around dc is one of the most restrictive in the entire united states so inside of the dc area you have what's called the flight restricted zone that's 15 miles nautical miles radius from reagan national airport in arlington you almost can't fly in there for recreational flights and then from 15 to 30 out it's called the special zone where you can basically say to the FAA, like, hey, I want to fly like this period, this time, this altitude and all that stuff.

And you have to put a flight plan in. It's kind of a pain, but you can kind of do it. But you have to go out to basically 30 nautical miles away from Reagan if you want to fly kind of like unrestricted, which is really cool because out in Percival, which is about 30 miles from Reagan, is not only one of the best barbecue areas and restaurants in the area, but it's also home to one of my favorite breweries, which is Adroid Theory. And so it's like, oh, no, I guess we're gonna have to go out to this place that has really good food and really good beer and fly drones. And oh, no, we're here.

Life is hard, honey. I really got to go fly these and oh no we're here life is hard honey i really got to go fly these drones to get my hours uh so that i can become a lieutenant pilot and uh yeah there's a brewery right there too i know it's it's it's so hard to do i just thought that was really fun speaking of barbecue uh is dinner ever going to be done never ever i actually just bought a 17 pound brisket from costco today sitting in the fridge right now i am going to trim it up tomorrow i'm gonna have some folks over on sunday clearway's gonna have some delicious brisket and some hamburgers from paul the trimmings from the brisket they're not actually going to be part of it so i don't know hopefully we're ready by the time everybody gets here on sunday but we'll say i gotta start cooking on saturday basically do the entire cook for

you know the whole day because it's a big piece of meat and then that's what she says on um oh sorry uh yeah just gonna let it sit overnight and rest until everybody gets here basically so on average how many times when you post you cooking something meat, do you get a when's that going to be done? I hope they're hungry in three days kind of thing. Because I know I saw you or David or Ryan. I still fire him out. Yeah. No, if somebody says something every time, every time.

That makes me happy. Yeah. No, it doesn't die. It's like David asked me what episode this is. This show. That makes me happy. Yeah. No, it doesn't die. It's like David asked me what episode this is, what show this means. That's such a good bit. It's such a good bit.

And then when people that don't know us respond to us. Yeah, it's kind of the worst, though. It's from this show. Oh, I love it. I had some guy like two weeks later

tell me about why I should be watching It's Always Sunny. and i'm just like this is good this is good the negative i would say the least fun thing for me about matt having 26 000 followers is when i make a comment on his post that actually i won't say go viral but actually gets a lot of response i'm getting notified for a fucking month i've got like 500 likes on some fucking comment and every every fucking time I open Instagram, I've got a new fucking alert.

And it's just because some douchebag that I don't know, like to comment on some other douchebags page that I do know. So it's like, what the fuck it was. So, so like, that's gotta be annoying. Like the,

just the alerts, like, like you can't have that many followers and not turn it off. Well, yeah, I don't have any visual, but like, yeah, but we still, when you open the app, you got the little fucking the red counter thing and it tells you how many different things you have and it's just like oh god that that's actually

something that helps me minimize my social media consumption is because i know if i go on instagram like i'm gonna have to answer messages and things like that i'm like oh i don't want to do that yeah i definitely will selectively not open up messages because i'm like i don't have the bandwidth to like yeah give you a the response that i i i like i'm guessing when i know what you this is from because who it's from and like what they're responding to it's like i've only got 30 seconds when i'm looking at my phone when i'm taking a piss i can't like deal with i don't have a paragraph response time but it's not just reels it's not just reels being forwarded to you constantly over and over and over i get a lot of that too it's a lot of that me oh here's something

here's something gross sorry here's something that grinds my fucking knurling so my i love my wife i love my wife to death but she's more of a facebooker than an instagrammer and getting like a reel on facebook messenger then i have to go into a Facebook thread to then fucking respond to but then I gotta go back to Messenger to fucking acknowledge that I saw it it takes fucking like 90 seconds to watch a fucking two second reel and get back to like acknowledging yes honey I saw that that was funny and it's annoying because a lot of times they're actually good it's all cat shit or like you know something like marriage fucking parody joke thing of times they're actually good it's all cat shit or like you know something like marriage fucking parody joke thing but god i fucking hate getting i don't know just like the out just the way

messenger and insta facebook fucking works and how long it takes to like actually respond to the person that sent you it my god it's so much easier on instagram yeah i would think that given the same company that would figure that out like why is it so much worse on facebook like i only use facebook for marketplace i guess messenger its own messenger is its own standalone app also yeah so like that's the thing because it's yeah i guess that's probably it because messenger is its own app facebook's its own app whereas messenger is integrated into instagram so that's got to be it but look it's so frustrating because it's like it takes me it's a time suck to like this should

just be painless and it's mindless and it's not I'm gonna tell Zuck about it he'll fix it yeah you got enough followers I got clout every time I see that dude he looks fucking like closer to 50 every day like he's I swear he's aged so much in the last

like it's how aging works Keith I know but like every day. I swear he's aged so much in the last... That's how aging works, Keith. I feel like I look the fucking same. Him and I, we're about the same age, I feel. Joey looks like he's about to die. He's aged so much in the last hour. He fucking cut seven inches off his beard.

I did, yeah. I took off a squirrel's worth of beard. Yeah, it's a lot. Because they're calling you Big Tanner. Actually, I think I look more like Tyler now. You do, actually, yeah.

Yeah. Not six feet. I was going to say a foot shorter and a hundred pounds. Yeah. Tyler's like 6'6", 300. Trash condiment.

Agreed. Alright. So on the way to Costco, how far away was Home Depot? Home Depot's the other direction, bud. I gotta stay away from Home Depot this week. I got too many other things going on. I can't be tempted into

starting a new project. I already told the wife I'd power wash part of the house while I'm cooking the brisket. So I got it. I got it. Sorry. What do you have more into? Gym equipment or carpentry tools? Probably gym stuff.

Because I think like the carpentry stuff, it's home improvement stuff. Like he's slowly accumulated all the time. So maybe it's deceptive. I've still got the same circular saw that I had 20 years ago. Same. It still works. You don't buy it. I'm not like, oh, this is this new bar that has slightly different knurling.

I'm not going to buy a new circular saw. This one still works. Is your workshop area slash like tool storage still on the back side of the the the she shed or is it uh somewhere else yeah it's it's it's that kind of same area i got some stuff down here in the basement with me but yeah most of the part all the stuff's in there which kind of sucks when you walk back and forth between the house and trying to get tools and things like that but it's better that's out there than in the basement yeah do you regret not making the shed a little bit bigger at this point now that you've like so far deep into like i could

get more equipment i could do more stuff especially not on strongman where you actually need more space for strongman than you would power lift so the reason that my shed is about 264 square feet is because if you make a dwelling detached outside structure in my county of 265 square feet of bader or greater it requires a permit and i said i'm not doing that and i call the county i was like hey i'm pouring a pad and i'm building a detached structure that's this square foot like i don't need a permit for it right like nope that's what it says in the county laws like great that's what i'm doing so that's why it's the size that it is. And there's actually that wall there that goes to another part of the shed that has another door that's got like all my garden stuff. And I've tried to tempt the wife and like, hey, maybe I can get like one of those crappy little Home Depot sheds and put that in the other part of the yard and put all my garden and stuff in there.

And I can knock down that wall and just make the shed like another six feet bigger. That'd be dope. It's not happening it's gonna be a lot of work because it's like there's already electrical in that wall and insulation and everything else like it'd be a pain i think there's so it'd be the full like six by like 10 or something additional so it's i think it's like 24 by 10 and a half is the actual footprint or whatever you know 264 square feet works out to and then like six feet of that is garden but i think i don't know if she's probably listening right now so um she's i think she's on the other side of the wall and that would be uh but i'm gonna try to do like some

outdoor atlas stone stuff and maybe like a pressure treated the little um just like a 48 inch thing so i could just try to do the atlas stone stuff outside and just leave the stones outside and who cares you know they're stones so no they only they can't be any worse shape than fucking tanner's uh two two two hundred and two forty stone from the dark dude that i don't know if you guys ever be what was yours like gravel and falling apart because did you see what i was doing in between my reps like i was trying to get all the dust off the floor because like it was just like every time like and i was taking my foot and just trying to scrape it all off and then scott dodds had put an absurd amount of tacky on the backsides of his gauntlets and i was like oh it's way too much tacky and then i realized

like after three reps like my tacky is full of dust and rocks like i really wish i had more tacky right now and yeah because it's like pieces were coming off everywhere and the dust was going all over the place so lesson learned because that's one of the events coming up in december for this event i'm looking at and like i'm gonna tacky the crap out of my arms in that case so yeah you don't want to have uh brand new stones like they did at uh was it world's wrong world strongest world's strongest man on earth whatever the fuck brian's is and that's something we could talk about briefly too did anyone see how much like brian's basically just saying all the strong men suck and they should have thanked him more and they didn't

like respond to him when they like told him what the money was and they're bitching about the events and it's their fault and i didn't actually watch the whole video but i like kind of browsed through the comments and like that's kind of what i that's what i assumed was happening but i didn't uh i don't know if you had caught that video i when when hatton was talking about like the whole thing with like hooper's depth with the squad yeah like. Like I actually like, okay, I understand. Like you, you went into this event, like, you know,

move from point A to point B and like, however you accomplish it. Like that's gamesmanship is one of the parts of the event. Like, how can you do this better than the other guys can? And like, if you figured out a way to do it easier than all the more power to you, as long as you do it within the rules.

So I think Brian's doing a very good job and i can't wait to see what this whole event is going to look like in a couple years with the amount of money and time and effort he's putting into it like i don't i understand everybody's going to be frustrated with meat directors and everything like that but like i think brian's doing the best he can i think he's constantly trying to improve it and he's not like world's strongest man was like screw it we're making a tv show out of this and you know they don't seem to necessarily care as much about the athletes or at least maybe people aren't vocalizing as much because they don't want to offend the people running the world's strongest man but i think given the fact that people feel a lot more comfortable to talk about it like that's

that's good for this event where brian's also seems like he's very receptive to taking comments from people and maybe moving forward but like i i'd'd reckon my brain like how do you make the squat equivalent for strongman like unless you get three powerlifting certified judges there like yeah i can see your hip crease right there like it's it's tough man that's one of the reasons why you don't see it all that often yeah not a lot of squats and definitely not back squats i don't know it'd be cool to see like a like so did someone someone mentioned something about like a like a super heavy front squat and there's a vacuum or something i saw on discord that was talking about a really heavy front squat maybe it was like a power lifting alternative or something and that was the way they put it i was like fuck that would suck um but here i go i'm just

rambling i don't remember what the fuck I was actually talking about in that. So are you still making any of your own beer? Was that a hobby for a younger man? That was another very time consuming hobby that I used to have that when I didn't have a kid and I was living on my own, it was a lot easier for me to take eight hours in the day and just sit and like watch this whole process go through and it was super fun and when i was started it um i was living in a part of washington state in yakima valley which makes about three quarters of the hops that were used domestically the united states at that point you get washington apples there's a reason that things are grown in that part of washington because the soil is very fertile uh it's got a lot of stuff there's a reason that things are grown in that part of Washington because the soil is very fertile it's got a lot of stuff there's volcanic eruptions so there's a lot of minerals a lot of good things

in that soil and everything grows really well even when I was living in eastern Washington state like wine was blowing up big because they realized they could grow grapes there too and they ended up making a lot of wineries there as well so So when I was there, it was great. I had a good time making my own beer, but at the same time, there were so many breweries in the area. I was like, I kind of want to drink everybody else's beer too.

I don't want to necessarily make five and a half gallons of my own beer that I got to drink before I can make another one. So I've been kicking around the idea of doing like one gallon batches and things like that, just to like kind of have my own. But then again again it's

another hobby that i would have to justify spending time and money on and i've got too many as it is well speaking of consuming five and a half gallons of beer did you find it lift hard live easy uh year year one versus year two any um any things you want to see tanner and tommy try to implement for year three i don't know man like it i think year two was so much better than year one but you know talking to jake and seeing some of the things that jake and dave were talking about for how they may want to do powerlifting and strongman next year with like they're talking about how to more side by side yeah more side by side i had it ready to go like that would be pretty cool and it would um you know take people wouldn't be there as long but i think like overall like jake did a great job dave obviously does a great job with power

lifting means like i can't see them necessarily anything uh what they're doing you know they're gonna start incorporating highland games and lifting and I don't think I had to race and all this other stuff. And, you know, we always joke about it. But no, I mean, it was it was a pretty good format. Saturday was a great time. Yeah, I enjoyed it. Yeah, I think I just all in all, it's been a blast. I mean, do you foresee yourself going as long as they still have it?

I think that's one of their fears is like everyone goes once, everyone goes and then it's like all right are you going to skip a couple years and then try to hit near five but if everyone does that and then i mean i don't i don't see attendance dropping i mean you would think the way it's been working with crew it's kind of like every year we lose 20 30 40 crew and gain 20 30 40 crew whatever it is like the numbers kind of seem to be like like supporting members not not crew coming to lift hard but like supporting members in general so i kind of feel like we're replenishing you know it's kind of what is it like an octopus like you lose a limb and then you grow another one back it's like i think we've always been at that 400 ish members i'm looking at this score right now there's there's 51 online 428 offline so it's like

almost at 500 now okay that's good yeah i mean numbers are still going up like good good good i don't understand you know what as long as i can get the time off and work and i think the missus just kind of expects me to want to go to south dakota next year around the same time so it's uh it's definitely a hard no no i'm not a hard sell but it's like all right that's gonna be like that's that's like a couple grand every year that i gotta have and that's like a you know i of, I'm still debating on like, is, is Monday, is it, is it worth leaving Monday? Everyone bitches about like people to leave on Sunday, but like, man, that's a whole extra

day that like, I don't know. I guess my, my biggest regret really is just like not being able to just get super shitty at the zoo and be there until like fucking two in the morning. Like I haven't, we got a chance to experience that. Cause like i went with my wife two years ago and i went with fucking jeff and chris and we all had to leave at like fucking like 5 30 in the morning on sunday so it's like they're like yeah it's 11 let's get the fuck out of here so i was like yeah i didn't i haven't had the opportunity to just be like oh i'm gonna stay out on all night but i don't know if that's worth an entire getting home an entire extra day and an extra day of vacation and all

that well i think the and you me and damager experienced this the first year of getting on that early 6 a.m 6 30 oh yeah that was brutal that was like oh hey yeah we gotta leave the zoo it's it's 11 we gotta go back and try to get a couple hours of sleep so we can get on our plane tomorrow whereas year two i got on that 4 30 flight and and like, that was nice. Delta Airlines being what it was at the time was a whole other thing. At least I didn't get what Sam got and got home several days later. But I think pending any major disruptions to air traffic in the United States, I think it should be hopefully a little smoother next year. But yeah, as long as I can leave later in the Sunday afternoon, i think that's fine uh i got like i originally planned on staying until monday this

year until i was able to like get that 4 30 flight but yeah i can i can understand people staying the extra day but like you said you get there thursday and you get back friday you get back monday like that's that's almost a full week of you know you being out of work and everything like that so yeah it's tough for some people to swing. I think the thing that helped me out was I got a Marriott credit card the last couple of years. And I don't pay for hotel rooms anymore because all my points and everything. It goes towards that. So, yeah, the flight kind of sucks.

But I got hotel rooms that I don't have to worry about when I get there. And as much as Joey hated our hotel accommodations that uh we had yeah fucking joey like the best best hotel in aberdeen and this guy is giving him shit um the the flight wasn't just me i know i'm definitely booking my flight earlier this this year because like i don't know what happened like because like chris and i were trying to coordinate so we could get seats next to each other and shit and like do you know pay each other back and all that or whatever the fuck but like you know i think my wife is giving me a hard time because by the time we booked we i still think we booked like three months out but she said like when she was looking five six months out flights were like four or five hundred dollars and when we booked they were like seven eight

hundred dollars whatever yeah so i think i'm gonna like as soon as the dates are set like and as soon as i but but then again like the flights fucking changed three times anyway so it's like i don't know there's no really perfect answer whatever you book fucking six months out isn't gonna be your actual flight so i took this i took the scant approach and just stopped opening the emails and i was like when i get up the morning to go i'll know where i gotta go with no apologies for that guys i you're gone i was gone i was gone um so i'd like to do i actually have two mount rushmores yeah i really want to hear the answers too and i don't normally do too but i think it's it's time for me to jump into a mount rushmore otherwise i'm not rushmore that's why i made a nice fmk for myself yeah i'm gonna collapse here if i don't so

i have two. The first one I want to know is your Mount Rushmore, which you know what the Mount Rushmore is, right? You pick your four things that you would carve into a mountain and destroy a beautiful mountain with. Bender quotes.

Bender quotes. Oh, man. Do you want to say Bite My Shiny Metal metal ass because that was his number one on his top 10 most used phrases yeah um that's that's got to be up there um god where do i start other than that there's just too many man i need more time to think about this even even like this last season, the last couple episodes they just started doing, like he had one where he goes and meets his family in Mexico.

He's like, you're a booze bag too? Like, all right. That could be up there. I mean, it's still recent, but that could be up there. My fuel cells are, you know, fueled by know fueled by alcohol like oh what are the cigars for oh they make me look cool one of the first episodes that was a good one too um um his booze unlabeled booze wide mouth too god there's so many good i don't know man, man. I can't even... We're going to have to bring me back for another episode

to have my actual Bender quotes. Episode 420. Yeah, dude. I'll be there. A couple years. Yeah, I definitely would put... I'll get my own shuttle with Hookers and Blackjack. Blackjack and Hookers. Damn it. In fact, forget the shuttle.

I'm sick of this room and everyone in it is probably one of my favorites that i've repeated several times yeah yeah there's a there's a ton i knew i'd get you with that one oh man or even like just not even bender but like farnsworth like i don't want to live on this planet anymore yeah just the same thing i'm sick of this room and everybody uh just like i don't want to live on this planet anymore. Yeah. Just the same thing. I'm sick of this room and everybody just like, I don't want to live on this planet anymore. Lila describing Bender as having an in your face interface. Yeah. That one always,

always comes to my mind. Okay. So the next one I'm going to do is a bit performative. So if you don't feel like doing them, that's fine, but I'm going to put it up there. The top four impressions that you can do. I think Arnold's kind of the easy one.

Because everybody that ever lifted a weight in the gym could do Arnold. And of course, everybody that loves to do Arnold, they do the same Arnold. They do early 20s Arnold and he has a ridiculous accent. And of course, he talks like this. He doesn't talk like the cultured governor of California. He doesn't talk like that. But everybody can do Arnold, right? Everybody does the Will Sasso Arnold.

Yeah. You know, Hercules in New York, just like early, early Arnold. They're just doing the most ridiculous one. And I'm going to go ahead and put my glasses on for this one that I brought here. You listen on the podcast. You probably can't see me, but for those listening on the video scope,

you could see, I got the macho man, Randy Savage glasses on. That's, that's a good one. You know, that when I made that video, I got a surprisingly large amount of views for that one.

And one of the guys that actually like professionally cosplays macho man he he reached out and he's like dude this is awesome i love it so we talked a little about that and he actually started like lifting afterwards like shortly that's like dude i gotta get in the gym more like we got any get any tips so like we were talking about gym stuff for a while that's awesome so how could it be a macho man impersonator and not already lit like macho man's fucking was was yoked i mean people aren't doing the kind of stuff most people aren't doing the kind of substances that everybody was doing wrestling in the 80s also other i mean not necessarily performative enhancing substances that macho man may have been on but you know. Nothing means nothing. His blood system,

his cocaine system once test positive for blood. It's ridiculous. That's two. That's two, god. I could do meat rod from Aqua Teen Hunger Force. That's probably a really good one for me to do. I would do meat rod from Aquatune Hunger Force that's probably a really good one for me to do because I can do meat rod

yeah I would do that pretty he's the only one from the show for some reason I can't do a whole lot from Aquatune but he's the only one Solid Snake's good you guys were playing Metal Gear Solid oh yeah

Metal Gear fantastic job with good you guys are playing metal gear solid oh yeah oh hell metal gear you know let's give it here did a fantastic job with all the solid snake stuff uh that's a pretty easy one to do like yeah i don't have anything that's like super obscure just kind of like same thing that like uh will sasso does and like dan danoder does like just all the kind of same stereotypical voices that everybody else can do but Dan Soder definitely has the best macho he's fantastic with it

it was a fun turn of events there I went to cough into the handkerchief and instead threw the handkerchief onto the microphone nice my brain is here alright instead through the handkerchief onto the microphone. Nice. Yeah. Well done. My brain is here. All right.

You know, the FMK there, big Matt, you familiar with FMK? Little fuck, marry, kill. Sure.

Don't need to do the rule. Yeah. PC term for it. I'm not sure. I think it was slap, tickle, pickle or something. I've got to remember. I think it was Ashley.

That's so much more vulgar. So FMK big Matt specific question here watches barbecue memes FMK watches barbecue memes if I killed memes

it would make my life so much I wouldn't have to spend nearly as much time making memes but I do like them every once in a while and they've always been there for me. So I'm probably gonna have to, I hate to make the cut, the connection between meat and effing, but I think that that's going to have to go.

And then as much as I like my new fangled watch hobby, that would probably have to be the one to go. Cause I still, I'm because i still i'm wearing it i'm wearing a g-shock right now you can't see it but i'm not wearing a nice watch right now i'm just wearing a g-shock that i like i could probably wear this g-shock for life in fact until i got into watches it was kind of the stereotypical g-shock type stuff so you probably have to let that one go if i had with the choice of that and memes and barbecue. Alright. One more here for you. So, FMK,

Bender, Archer, Pickle Rick. Rick Sanchez in general or just Pickle Rick? I'm going to change it to, I don't know who submitted Pickle Rick, but I'm going to go Rick Sanchez. So, Bender, Archer, Rick Sanchez. Again, Bender's been around since 1999

he's the mainstay he's gonna get married um i've i don't know if this is in there but i usually watch an episode of some cartoon before i go to sleep every night for the last god almost 20 years now and 80% of it has been Futurama so that's probably going to have to be up there so Archer and Rick I mean Rick's an awful person

he's not a good dude he's funny but the universe would probably be better off without him which universe? everyone that he's funny, but the universe would probably be better off without him. Which universe? Everyone that he's in. C137, obviously. That's the home universe, but the various Ricks

universe would probably be better off without Rick, so we're going to have to kill Rick. Archer, his hair is his third best feature, but he's still just a sexy man. I mean, who doesn't want to be Sterling Archer other than, you know, the crippling alcohol doesn't want to be Archer.

Right. And that one, that one finally just ended. I think I watched the series finale. Like, I think it might've ended a while ago, but I just watched the last season and I was like, Oh,

because the, the mom had died. So it was kind of weird. Yeah. How they kind of, uh, handled that and navigated that last season. I want to do a quick Mount Rushmore too.

So you had mentioned you watch cartoons every night, so I want to hear the top four animated series. So Futurama would have to be up there again. The other 10%, maybe 20% is...

Big math. Big fucking math over here jesus yeah can't fucking add 80 and fucking 20 together i forget what i said i'm sorry guys um so the other the other ones goes i said before rocketeen hunger force uh never seen it rick and morty oh it's as somebody who doesn't do drugs it's an oddity that i actually watched that show same it's it's a very i remember growing up i'm like it's like yeah i love this show like oh you want to go smoke clear like i don't smoke like what are you talking about but you don't do drugs like yeah sorry man um takes a certain level of being fucked up to watch uh coaching hunger for sober or you're just mentally messed up like i am and yeah it's still pretty funny um

i'm gonna go ahead and throw gi joe animated series in there from like 80s and 90s um it was a good one watched a lot of that growing up like tough to kind of choose between that and transformers both had great full-length animated features that had awesome soundtracks to them um the transformers movie has got one of the best like soundtracks to it and i actually got my daughter um to watch the movie a couple months ago and so every time i'm like driving off in daycare in the morning it's like daddy let's listen to the transformer soundtrack like yeah let's listen to the transformer soundtrack and so i get i get some of that uh get some enjoyability out of that as well but yeah i think gi joe's still gonna have to beat him out was that three

or four i think that's four because i had futurama octoon hunger force rick and morty and then no okay yeah you kind of glossed over rick and mort Yeah, I didn't miss the Rick and Morty one. Nice. I'm sorry. Best thing from Rick and Morty is, of course, the first episode of the Interstellar Cable. Mm-hmm. Yeah.

And it's just... How did she get up there? Well, that was the second episode. The first one had the personal space. Oh, yeah. And I love that. I say that all the time. Let's get stepping on up into getting out of the personal space. Oh, yeah. And I love that. I say that all the time. Let's get stepping on up into getting out of my personal space.

The first episode of that, my buddy, actually the same guy that turned me on to Star and Shrink, my buddy, Ben, he was like, hey, man, you got to watch this cartoon. It was like when the first season was out. It's like, it's awesome. And my wife and I just got into a great argument. And she was like, I want to talk to to you and we were living in a small apartment so all the things she could do is sit on the couch next to me like i'm gonna watch this tv show like fine watch it i don't care and you're like very not happy with one another and then it was watching that first

episode of rick and morty and when rick is like morty they're not people like you can't think of it was like people and he's like shooting the bugs and one of them goes down it's like somebody tell glenn's family that he's gonna die my wife i just hear in the silent like she's trying to not to laugh because she's still trying to be mad at me but she can't because this show is so damn funny that she can't help but laugh yeah and she's like all right yeah we gotta watch this but that was actually so we ended up naming one of my dogs rick as well that's the spirit and uh we were gonna do my second my second beagle that we got i was either gonna call him bender or something like that and it's just like ah bender's kind of weird so we end up just calling him fry

that's what we've got we've got r Rick and Fry for our two dogs right now. So you had mentioned being in that little apartment with your wife and kind of having a little tiff. Was that because she wouldn't let you be the little spoon that you like to be? Oh my god. I did have to go back to confirm the notes that it was her that submitted that because the way we do the notes everyone can submit it and then I copy

and paste it all and it just puts everything in the doc for us but it doesn't specify who what, unless I go back to the initial list. So before I slipped that tidbit in, I didn't, I had to make sure it wasn't from a frat buddy. But yeah, no, she, you know, well, the wife did submit that you, you, you like being a little spoon. So that's not true. No, it is going to be forever known as factual information, you know, heard here first.

Everybody likes being the little spoon. Calm down. I never said anything wrong with it. I am the big spoon. I am the biggest spoon. Damn it. Yeah. I'll be such a big fucking spoon.

I'm a teddy bear, guys. That's all I am. Agreed, actually. After spending the weekend with you agreed to get the air conditioner fixed yet buddy oh my god my air conditioner breaks at the worst freaking possible time the last time it broke was again the same time my wife was at that power lift meet she was eight months pregnant and i had to go work at the beginning of july okay hey babe sorry air conditioner's dead like we're gonna have you have to stay in the basement where it's relatively cool it's like no you're gonna go to

home depot and get me a window unit before you leave like i gotta go to work it's like no you're gonna go to home depot right now and get me a window you know okay yeah so all right agreed thankfully the uh the most recent fix was was pretty easy and saved an ungodly amount of money from having an HVAC technician come at the last minute to come diagnose it. So I'm still riding that wave of how much money I saved the family by being able to do basic electronic diagnosis and figure out what the problem was. So she owes me a lot for that. So maybe she'll let you be you know your preferred spoon then i guess of course play that card every night indeed um anything else you're seeing in in here we want to hit before we go a little unpaid or underrated no i wish i could do a little more riffing on a

lot of things with our live easy 3 we'll do it then yeah that will be more of a menace make more silly videos that gingers video like I think I kind of came up with the idea and I was just you said something about slapping the roof of the car and you made a joke and then I was like no you gotta

say you can fit so many fucking gingers in here and then it just expanded and it was like me and matt and i think jen like okay how do we actually do this but then it it turned out that was a good video i'm pissed off because uh damager gave me the rest of the video of you guys like walking in and me awkwardly being in the background like trying not to be in the shot but failing miserably and i told him i was going to make an updated video with that and addition of the original one i posted but i never did so now i now i feel like i'm i feel like an ass never too late buddy all right i'll work on that later after this yeah screw going to bed

all right so we have this game we like to play, a little unpaid or underrated. So, you know, we've got several handpicked, special handpicked topics just for you, Big Matt. Unpaid or underrated. So obviously unpaid, you know, not so great. Underrated, pretty awesome. So we're going to hit you off with a few here. Let's go unpaid or underrated. Danny DeVito. Danny DeVito is underrated.

I know there are other much more power lifters much more popular power lifters out there they share the same sentiment as i do so i know i'm in the right here but just between not not even just like him his his character and it's always something like he was fantastic in twins like him and rl just did such a good job and it shouldn't have worked but it did he was great in batman like he just did such a good job and it shouldn't have worked, but it did. He was great in Batman. Like he just did such a great job. And then the fact that they just like, hey, we're going to write you in as this character. And it's always sunny.

And he's he's my favorite character on the show. He's absolutely fantastic. The the episode from his point of view called Being Frank, where it just goes through like his stereotypical day is absolutely hilarious and i could watch that episode again and again he's he's completely underrated i forgot he was i mean i didn't forget but like yeah i forgot he was penguin and he was he was uh that was a very that was like almost terror because that would have been like i don't know eight nine something like there was a kid when i watched that it was not it wasn't like the fucking cheesy i mean it was still a cheesy batman movie but like that was a kid when i watched that it was not it wasn't like the fucking cheesy

i mean it was still a cheesy batman movie but like that was very fucking like disturbing to see as a kid because you're like is this makeup or is this fucking does this motherfucker look like this or like christopher walken getting electrocuted at the end like as a as a small child like oh my god like this is not the animated series of Batman that I grew up watching. Like, what's going on, Tim Burton? All right. Unpaid or underrated? James Bond. God.

There's so many. So, I mean, just use your druthers. Answer it however you want. Take it however you want. There's been some bad ones. There's been some good ones. There's a... So, even, like, Timothy Dalton should have had a much better shot at it like i love both of his movies they were the the most violent ones at the time because the studio

was trying to take bond in a different direction and i think he got a short end of the stick but he did an absolutely fantastic job and like seeing him and like sean of the dead not short of the dead um what's the other simon pegg movie that he was in he's no guy um uh the one with the town yeah the end good oh uh no it's like there was the fucking hot fuzz hot fuzz yeah like he was just so good in hot fuzz and like oh i mean you watch that like oh he could have been such a good bond for a while and then like it went over to pierce brosnan he had such a good start and like it just it did not end well he made possibly some of the worst bond like golden eye is one of my favorite bond movies and he made some of the worst bond movies at the end

of it with diana uh with uh the one with the madonna on it. It was awful. But Daniel Craig's been great. He did a whole slew of good movies. Is he done or does he have any left? Yeah, he's done. Okay. Those kind of went off the rail the last couple. It was just like, I don't know.

I don't know. Sorry, it's your topic. No, yeah. They just, I don't know. There was one that I think we had downloaded. And it took me like three years to get back to it just because it seemed like it had a 20 minute intro of the same scene. I was like, okay, this is

cool and all, but I don't know. I don't know when they killed off the one lady and shit. Spoiler. He's great with movie reviews, guys. I didn't think it was... Yeah, fuck you guys. Sorry. You really nailed this.'t think it was yeah fuck you guys sorry so I think it's still underrated underrated good deal

I think there's still a lot of promise I'm interested to see you know who the next Bond's gonna be they definitely went toward more like when Jason Bourne movies started coming out like alright we gotta do more of this like this is from what Pierce Brosnan was doing at the end of his his his uh time as bond like they changed they made a pretty dramatic

shift when um when daniel craig went in like they made some of the best bond movies like casino royale was fantastic it was just skyfall was incredible yeah are they are they in talk so like is it is the new one in works already or are they going to give it a few years before they try to pick it back up i don't even know if they've in works already? Or are they going to give it a few years before they try to pick it back up? I don't even know if they've made the announcement of who it's going to be. Or if it's even going to be a male role. Or if they're going to transition to somebody else.

I don't know. But I mean, every once in a while, I'm like, I'm going to go back and watch one of the Connery movies. Maybe it doesn't hold. It's different times, different culture, all that aside. But it's still got some fantastic different culture all that aside but like it's still got some fantastic movies and jane seymour is still my top all-time bond girl um oh she's oh

man she was fantastic so which um is the timothy dalton was that honestly because that was like early 80s i don't think i've actually seen those they're on my i don't buy those to my watch list if you give them high praise so yeah i definitely check them out they're again they're they're more like violent but they're still a really good bomb movies like benicio del toro a very young benicio del toro is one of the bad guys and one of them like he's awesome i guess he is pretty he's like fucking try 65 now so yeah yeah but i'd be very young um all right uh unpaid or underrated emotions. Well, this was highly submitted under, well, basically for you under one paid feeling things sucks. Yeah, it's awful.

It's was it Job from Arrested Development is like, I have a feeling it's not hungry or horny. I'm not sure what it is. It only has those two emotions and that's it. Yeah, definitely, definitely unpaid. You should hold your emotions close so that way they can develop into a mental illness later in your life. You should definitely do that. And then you die. Yeah, and then you die.

Just keep it inside. Be a man. Yeah. It's the Scottish way. Yeah. I think I'll do one more and I'll still leave you die. Yeah. And then you die. Yeah. Just keep it inside. Be a man. Yeah. It's the Scottish way. Yep. I think I'll do one more and I'll still leave you with a handful. So this one, I don't know if it was a typo or not.

So if it is, we'll skip it. Coffee milk, unpaid or underrated. Is that a thing? Yeah, that's a thing. No,

they had it on. They had it on the podcast. Yeah. And it's probably still sitting in tennis cupboard's cupboard because she probably never broke into it. No, so coffee milk is the official state drink of Rhode Island. There are loggerheads between them and Dell's Lemonade as to what was the official state drink of the round, but Autocraft coffee syrup ended up it out it's like choff it's like chocolate milk but it's it's coffee flavored instead and it's you know it's loaded with sugar and something that you know you could drink a bunch of it growing up and it didn't matter but like it's a lot of high fructose corn syrup and as as someone who's about to turn 40 as well keith i think because you you and i are both turning 40

in july in june next year right yeah june 14th you mean you're all gonna turn 40 the same times like probably have similar we're gonna have to like start making like master's jokes at that point i know we're like we're gonna be in the same well at least scans will be like an m7 by then and we'll just be in one yeah man no it's it's it's still i'd say it's still underrated to have it in you know a couple every once in a while because it's delicious. But it's something you don't necessarily want to make as a cornerstone of your diet. So you're feeding kids just coffee-flavored milk so they get addicted to coffee later? Exactly.

Coffee is fucking not a great taste. I don't know how it's decided. It's fantastic. And then you've got Dunkin' Donuts on every quarter growing up. So it's the gateway drug for you to go And spend a lot of money 15 year olds drinking black coffee every morning Well regular coffee with a bunch of

I don't know It's good man They get them with the 4x4s up here And you look at them like do you even like coffee Like it's 4 creams and 4 sugars Dude just don't drink coffee anymore like a monster at that point yeah uh actually side note i posted it in the discord nobody

answered does anybody here know what farmer's cola is no i don't look so no i didn't do it during the recording this is like apparently it's a, it's an East, Mideast thing. Farmer's Cola, is that what you said? Yeah, where you put, like, dry roasted peanuts into a bottle of Coca-Cola. Oh, yeah, I've heard of that, I think. Yeah. And then, like, you just, you still drink it and then you just eat nuts at the end. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, is that delicious? Does that sound good? Because apparently all the reviews are, it's awesome. Probably. I mean, to, like, like, just, like just like diet, like a soda and salty nuts taste fucking good. I know that's gonna be a bad sound clip, but like. Yeah, wait. Like sweet and savory.

Yeah, that's interesting. I might have to try that. Sweet, nuts are savory. Goes together like coffee and milk, man. Yep. Yeah. All right. Unpaid or underrated ice milk, man. Yep. Yeah. All right. Unpaid or underrated?

Ice cream with nuts. Ugh. Unpaid. You want to mess up ice cream, throw some walnuts in it. That's disgusting. It is. Why would you want to do that? Who wants to chew ice cream unless it's bubblegum?

Yeah. You have a couple, you know, throw some peanut butter in there, a little bit of chocolate in there. Walnuts do not belong in ice cream. I'm sorry, I'll die on that hill. It's disgusting. Walnuts maybe not, but my wife really likes, it's like a chocolate ice cream with just sliced almonds in it.

And she'll get that from like Abbott's or something every now and then. I'm not saying that's like a daily thing, but like I've had it before and like they're so, they're such thin sl thing, but I've had it before and they're such thin slivers. It's almost I don't know. It's just a little texture at that point. You can't do it.

Nothing Keith's wrong about. I didn't say I liked it. I just said my wife liked nuts in her mouth. Unpaid or underrated domestic beers. Now, here's the thing 10 15 years ago domestic beers was synonymous with big breweries whereas in the last 15 years or so the craft brewery industry in the united states is really blown up so i think i understand the intent of the question but a lot of those domestic beers are really good now.

Whereas if you could say like, hey, like the big breweries versus little breweries, like I realize I'm wearing a Bud Light parody shirt and that, you know, kind of kills me inside a little bit wearing that. But at the same time, there's so many good beers in the United States that the things that you'd have to go and get like an import for before it used to be the europeans would be like you know raising their nose as you americans don't know how to drink beer and like we got some of the best beers in the world not just like my opinion but objectively rated on all these beer rating websites like some of the best stuff comes from the united states like like you've got these monks in in belgium they're still cranking out just absolutely world-class beers and everything like that. But I think a lot of it still comes from the United States. And I've been very fortunate to live in some regions of the country in the Pacific Northwest and in New England where some of the best breweries in the world are located.

So it's nice when I go up to Vermont and I can hit a couple of world-class breweries within a couple hours. In fact, every time I go up to New England, I go up with a cooler and a bunch of ice packs because all this beer is so cold and I got to get it back to Virginia. So I got to go to Alchemist. I got to go to Hill Farmstead. I got to go to Lawton's. I got to go all these places and get a bunch of beers and bring them back down to Virginia because it's worth it, man. They're abs. How many fridges do you have or do you just like does it just like get skunky and then you drink it again and or no I guess is it no so I mean I like I have like a like a four paneled fridge and like the bottom right you can either do as like the bottom left's a freezer

and the bottom right can either be a freezer again or it can be another fridge. So like you just set that to the fridge setting and that's where beers go. And yeah, I don't need to have a beer fridge in my shed. I've thought about that. That'd be dangerous. That'd be dangerous. Yeah. Out by myself with unfettered access to good beers.

No. Would not go. So you went unpaid or underrated on that one? Sorry. Domestic beers nowadays I would say underrated. Alright.

I think I got two more for you. Unpaid or underrated Apple products? I think I've already expressed my opinion on that. Yeah. On this podcast or in general? Oh, in general on this podcast, completely unpaid. Their whole marketing strategy relies on FOMO. I, you know, you asked somebody.

What's that? As opposed to FUBAR. Exactly. And like, you just, you can't tell me objectively why that product is better than a lot of like the high-end android devices that have better cameras and better operating systems if your whole thing is oh you have a green text bubble when i text like i don't i don't care like that's that's an apple problem but they decided they're not going to go with the next generation text messaging standard like that is something that they created it's an artificial problem that they did

to keep you from keep your noise keep your nose up at people who don't have apple products i don't view that as an advantage and i don't feel like paying all that extra money to have i've never bought into the apple ecosystem i've never had and you know apple you know their drive equivalent so i've i've never I've never gotten that. I won an iPad one time at work, and I gave it right to my wife. Like, I don't want this. You can have it. See you later.

Okay. I alienated the other half of the audience by saying that, I know. It's all right. I got to die in that hill. All right. Last, and I think but not least, is Unpaid or Underrated, drinking with Joey until 1 a.m. the night before weigh-ins. I would say as long as you can wake up on time to get to weigh-ins and the damages don't just leave you in the hotel lobby.

You didn't have to weigh in. No, you were over 220. I still had to technically weigh in. I was nowhere near the 250 limit um i had plenty of i could eat all day and never still be at 250 but yeah man it's definitely uh underrated lift our livies he is there for having a good time and lifting some weights too but i don't think they necessarily need to stop one another from happening you should be able to do both and have a good time yeah we went miserable we ended up going back to the uh to the hotel and then i was like i'm going

for a walk man and then matt's like where are you going and i was like i don't know i'm probably gonna end up getting a beer but i just need to be outside for a minute and he's like i'll come with you and sure enough we ended up at buffalo wild way to drink a beer until one in the morning later that's when they kicked you out at 1? No, I think we laughed at our own volition, but it was getting close. I don't see Buffalo Wild Wings. Buffalo Wild Wings isn't like a bar bar. Yeah, they're open until 2 or 3 or something stupid like that. There's not a whole lot of options in Aberdeen.

I don't know if you know this, but especially when walking distance of the hotel. Yeah, that's why I think the next night before the meet, on the way back to Tanner's, Matt just turns to me, he's like, I'm not going to Buffalo Wild Wings with you. And I was like, I'm fucking not going to Buffalo Wild Wings. And then Sunday, where did we go? Yeah, and Saturday in between dinner and

yeah, where did we end up? Good. Alright, I think you passed unpaid and underrated. Alright, so you guys are going to hear this episode? Yes, yeah, we'll hear this one. Despite me sounding like trash. Alright, so you guys are going to hear this episode? Yes, yeah, we'll hear this one. Despite me sounding like trash. Oh boy. Alright.

Matt, I think it's time to flip the script and finally let you in and ask us some questions. So Joey is near death, so I only got a couple ones, and I'll try to make them quick. And they're actually kind of tied, so I'm going to ask both you guys similar questions keith

yeah but are you screwing with us with your movie reviews and joey are you screwing with us with your pronunciations i am not like i just have my opinions and i'm sticking to them i don't know like everyone over analyzes them and stuff well he likes this movie but he doesn't like this like he does a lot of it is also like time and place. Like I like a lot of movies from like, I like stupid shit from when I was in high school, but if that same movie came out today, I probably wouldn't watch it necessarily.

So a lot of it is timing. Um, I like, if you ask me a specific thing, I don't know, but like, I don't know. I definitely,

I'm honest to my ratings. I don't, I've never, I've legitimately never fucking like gaslight anybody by like having a fake rating like i sincerely think jack white sucks and i think like some of the movies i like are great and some of the movies you guys like suck like i don't know i'm i am who i am and i won't apologize fuck you and everybody listening that doesn't like me so what was was your problem with Princess Bride?

Oh, it wasn't bad. It just wasn't like I also judge things. I judge things a little bit skewed by how everybody else puts them on a pedestal. So I think my the discrepancy with that one, too, is obviously I watched that movie when I was a kid and maybe like once as an adult. But I didn't start reading stuff shit on imbd until like 2010 so i'm also just like all these ratings are like 35 year old keith whatever rating movies from 20 years ago so everything's slightly skewed by probably how old man keith looks at stuff so if like 15 year old keith what rated that he might have given it like a six or a seven but it definitely isn't more than a seven because i also i just i don't like parody shit like that i don might have given it like a 6 or a 7, but it definitely isn't more than a 7. I don't like parody shit

like that. I don't know. It wasn't a parody. You said it was a mockumentary at some point, didn't you? Maybe. I don't know. It was fucking, like, it was medievally trying to be funny. It was definitely trying to be funny. Like, stupid funny. It was funny. I know, but Mind You the Giant was hilarious.

No more rhymes, Fezzik. I mean it. I don't know. I don't want to be in it. Come on, man. Well, add it to the list of things I need to rewatch and re-rate. Up right up there with basketball and fucking Anchorman. Yeah, basketball for sure. My pronunciations.

So I think that there's a mix of three different things. Sometimes I have only read a word. I've never heard it said. So when I am saying it out loud, I'm saying it how I read it. So that's one thing that sometimes comes up. The other one is sometimes in Canada, we just say things different. And you Americans just seem to think the rest of the world is different. And you guys are right every time. But it's so sometimes, yeah, that's what happens is I say it and you guys are right every time but it's so sometimes yeah that's what happens is i say it and you're like that's how you say that and it's like no literally the rest of the world says it that's american exceptionalism you guys need to sort yourselves

out and the third one is sometimes yes i am fucking with you for that reason is i do the same thing sometimes it's not very often like i'm not going to pretend i'm some comedic genius but i'm doing the bull rat thing where i will say something to see if you guys catch that it's wrong and then to see your reaction so sometimes it's one of three every time usually usually the first and second one it's very rare like what's the one that I vehicleese I definitely said wrong on purpose yeah I think when I know you're fucking with it yeah

yeah those ones I definitely am messing with you guys but like no a lot of the times I'm just saying them how either I read them or how the rest of the world says them and you guys are wrong you guys are wrong.

You guys didn't land on the moon though. So we're going to have to, yeah, no, that can't be it. Yeah. Am I out of touch? No,

it's the children who are out of touch. Thanks. Principal Skinner. All right, Joey, I know you're, you're, you're not long for this earth.

So why am I getting ads on Instagram for bespoke licorice products i don't know are you getting these as well because i don't know if this is anything to do with like you talking about it like i've never he's the only person who ever talks about licorice no yeah i don't know what it is man no so an interesting thing about what people think versus the reality is that your phones are not listening to you. Your phones are actually tapped into a lot more information than you think. And a lot of them are proximity based. So it's not simply that I said the word licorice around you and your phone heard licorice and

therefore it gives you licorice. It could be that you used an email to log into that you and I have a shared social media on that has sold the information to each other. And now they're tapping into the proximity that I looked up this thing. So you might want to know about that thing so we can talk about that thing. And that's, I think the big mistake people think about social media is it would be so much easier if your phones are just listening to you. Whereas in reality, it goes so much deeper with selling your information to companies. So no, it would be that somebody around you

in your immediate social circle was looking up something about licorice. Gotcha. On the other hand, licorice is fucking great. Agree to disagree. However, moving on to tattoos, I understand quick, fast, and in a hurry, monkey tattoos where it's at. Yes.

Given that money is no object and time is no object, what's your ideal tattoo? Jeez. I would probably cover my arms. I would probably have sleeves all the way up my arms to my shoulders down my back and just shit. Because I don't – that's the problem yeah i don't think about tattoos that much like this monkey tattoo i was literally just sitting there and she was like you want a tattoo and i was like yeah sure let's do it like i'm not doing anything else so i got a monkey tattoo i don't still itchy? No, it's feeling a lot better now. But no, I genuinely don't have an answer for that.

I've always kind of wanted a Wolverine tattoo, like up my arms, but now my arms are covered, so I can't really do that again. I'd have to undo the ones I have. Gotcha. Or the surf and turf across my knuckles. I did get hurt and heal, but I definitely should have got surf and turf as well. I could go for some steak and... Speaking of food, Keith, we all know about chicken parm, but what's the best thing you've truly ever eaten? These nuts.

um i can answer a couple a couple different ways so the sappy version would be uh any jello cake the old lady makes me because you know she loves me etc but or oh man i got so many ways to answer that like the fucking meatloaf mashed potatoes and green beans my you know grandma who's no longer here used to make like that like i can i can feel what that tastes like i can uh but in reality like my favorite meal if you could sit it in front of me of that like i can i can feel what that tastes like i can uh but in reality like my favorite meal if you could sit in front of me of like something i can't really get anymore is um in morgantown west virginia a restaurant called boston beanery they do a grilled chicken salad but people listening might yeah you know like uh it's a pit pit basically a pittsburgh salad so grilled chicken salad with like huge curly fries on it. Uh, or yeah,

curly fries. So fries on a salad and like good ranch, like homemade ranch dressing, not bottled bullshit ranch dressing. So like it basically has like seven things hitting perfectly. It's like a great base house salad to begin with. It's got an awesome like garlic bread stick that comes with it. Very large portion and and high high quantity of like grilled chicken like a nice marinated grilled chicken and then you lather that with like like a fucking extra large side of french fries basically and then just get like four extra ranch dressings like that was my go-to that salad like was comfortable to me uh i moved from like one town another one i was like 12 and that was like the first that was like i know it's weird but like that that was like my comfort when i moved to that town because it was like the only

thing that i could be like oh this is like i basically was trying to like find something good about moving away from all my friends and shit and like that salad ironically was kind of like something that i kind of fixated on and that was like the only thing i ever ate there for like the 10 years that i lived there before i moved away um and i think i've gone back maybe once or twice and i think the restaurant gone back maybe once or twice. And I think the restaurant might still exist, but it's under new ownership. And like the salad is not the same anymore.

So I haven't really had it in like 10, 15 years probably, but, uh, I could still, like I closed my eyes and I could fucking take, I could, I could eat that entire salad in my head right now.

And like, like tell you every single taste and flavor. Um, so yeah, that salad specifically is probably the best thing I've ever had in my life. Good. Sounds pretty good to me. It's not the chicken parm in aberdeen no i do like a good chicken parm but i think i'm i think i'm not gonna be eating chicken parm for a while so i don't know if i have to eat and i think i think i'm gonna go i'm not gonna eat

chicken like i'm gonna make chicken parm my power lifting thing and not have to fixate it on their strong man um but i don't know if to fixate it on their strong man. Um, but I don't know if I'm gonna do any more strong man this year. There was a show in October. I was toying with, um, cause it was a pretty easy event.

It was, uh, um, as far as the, it wasn't like seven different weird, crazy events. It was max log 18 inch deadlift on an axle max. And like a stones from like one 70 up until you can't go.

So like three easy events to train for basically, but it's going to be the Saturday after two weeks in a row out of town. And I'm like, fuck that. Like that doesn't, that's not cool. I don't want to be like trying to peak and then being in a hotel for fucking 14 days before that doesn't sound something I want to do. So I might not do anything until 2025 at this point. Yeah. You're not getting stronger anything until 2025 at this point. Yeah. You're not getting stronger in those last two weeks, though. Yeah. But I'm also getting fucking a lot of.

There's a gym in the hotel. There's also the anxiety of. There's rocks. It's strong, man. There's rocks. There's logs. Go pull your car. We'll see.

We'll see. I'm saying it like I've done it. I don't fucking know. You do got to get in this. Like, you really. It's's so hard you have to find a because i know you're you know you're worried about not being able to like do the the entry weight on some of the things but you just gotta find shows that literally like almost every event is like a rising bar or a weight that you know you can you know do the shitty part of that when it's a rising bar is you might have to follow yourself three times if there's not other people in your like strength level because that's my that's gonna be my biggest issue on a lot of

these is like if my fucking press is like 40 pounds less than everybody else's my opener my second and my third or before anybody else takes their fucking opener i'm like well shit but yeah that's my favorite meal sorry that's all i got guys in an interesting note there i realized i put my phone down on the softest thing possible so i didn't hit the microphone and that thing was my booger handkerchief so totally washing my phone after this what a fucking night did you have a dad joke you wanted to hit us with oh man do i have a dad joke well the one that joey told i have a slightly different version it the chicken one yep and it's just of you know hey why did the chicken cross the road and he said i don't know he said because but very similar to what you had um i started doing a uh thing on my phone where about a year and a half ago i just started writing down every good joke that i heard so i've got a pretty

extensive joke collection uh i'm not sure how much of which i can say on this podcast I would say hmm what's the difference between a hippo and a zippo I don't know one's a little lighter that's funny David it's funny

because it was a play on words hey Matt what kind of trousers does a ghost wear? What kind? Just a pair of normal pants It's a pair of normal Oh pair of normal Yeah there you go

I can't go one episode without you fucking talking about ghosts Can I? See what I did there? David it's funny Actually I gotta leave soon I did there? David, it's funny. God. Actually, I gotta leave soon. I'm writing a book on how not to fall downstairs. It's a step-by-step guide.

That's a good one. That is a good one. That's a good one right there, yeah. I'm sad to see this long-running joke die, man. My favorite part was literally when we um when joey did it first like the first couple episodes when he actually did it

and you and discord were like sincerely guys what do you mean you'd never did i didn't get attacked what number did you use and it was like i was like oh my god we got him like this is amazing this is so great i mean obviously it was like not you know you figured out the matt damon effect like within a like hour or whatever but uh man like i can still think of that like your panicked response kind of of like i i want to be on i'm here guys when do you need me and it's just like yeah don't worry we'll get to it yeah i've had several people text me in the last year like hey man do you do you have like a legit beef what's going on that's great like ah don't worry about it yeah you'll find out we're figuring it out

find out like a year and then here i am not at my best i apologize for that everybody but there was no way i was gonna miss it like at the last like hour keith was like i get somebody else and i was like the fuck you will i'll show up at 50 he always does this to me he he's he you know he gives me the courtesy of like man i'm not feeling great i'm not sure if i'm gonna be able to go tonight kind of and i'm like okay it's like three hours out i can get someone else on and it's like no i'm good and i'm like and like an hour out it's like man i'm i'm like i'm so much worse than i just was i'm like okay i can probably still get someone on like oh i'm good it's like motherfucker like you know i can get you i get it he's just update he's doing the courtesy of just updating me that off that you know you might have

to carry a little more no and i get it it's just my my brain instantly goes to you know i'm like when i deal with my wife it's like do you want me to how do i solve this problem when he really he's just kind of he's just expressing his feelings and how he's feeling he just wants you to listen that's all yeah i know solve his problems need to be i want you to listen i know i'm not good at that i put fires out for a living i don't know that's just what i do i gotta learn to listen more why don't you tell them about our new code yeah so affiliate links we've got a new one with well, technically it's not an affiliate.

So belt fed strength unpaid, and then the ones that will, you know, get us that speed boat and potentially help us pay for some, uh, apps to make some content down the road will be obsidian barbell rescue plate snacks and home gym con.
