all right good evening everybody and welcome to episode 920 of the unpaid and underrated podcast the podcast about crew for crew gosh and mocked relentlessly by the crew um i am one of the hosts big joey it is hot in here today and i am joined by a frozen one-eyed big keith there he is he's back howdy howdy i gotta go get my antenna but continue he's got to go get his antenna he he didn't plug in his brain today and uh big quinn how's it going it is going fantastic just a couple of gingers now on this podcast. We'll boot Keith off. We'll just take over for a bit.

Yeah. What does he need an antenna for? I assume it's so that the radio frequencies to not eat the cat treats. Oh, okay. To his head. Yeah. The salmon cat treats. Oh, you're talking about cats again.

Yeah. That's the one thing about doing this podcast and not drinking all day before I do a podcast is suddenly I remember how funny I can be. And I was still laughing about that. No, Keith, those are the cat treats. That was good memes. I thought that was a funny joke for me. Good memes about that. But speaking of drinking,

what's y'all drinking? What you got, Quinn? I'm having an old-fashioned with billet whiskey. I dig it. Running it back is last week, the old Wegmans Lime. Still waiting for that big care package

from the crew to stock you know stock me up on in uh on drinks i have a uh just a sparkling vanilla cherry cola water um i have moved on to um god i hate to say this i've joined keith and the michael oboltra i saw that i was so proud of you yeah yeah well the light beers that wasn't like you actually bought some. That wasn't just like you're at a buddy's house and it's all he had. And there's like a drink at you. Willingly bought it. That makes me happy.

Yeah, you guys have been coming on this journey with me for, you know, 920 episodes. Just like trying to like limit what I do, right? Like trying to better take care of it. So I realized if I'm going to drink three beers, no matter what, like no matter what happens, three beers are going in my face tonight. Yep. Might as well buy light beers. Makes sense. Right?

The amount of cans going in, I just feel better the next morning. But I am probably going to go to Cracked Canoe, which is even lighter than Michelob Ultra. Is that a Canadian specific thing? Yeah. Yeah. It's literally called Crack. Is that? Cracked Canoe. Canoe. That's. it's made literally it's literally called crack is that cracked canoe canoe that's uh it's made by something like out east that's something like

4-h camp shit i've never heard it but it's like three percent and they're delicious as shit and you can drink those all night and not notice yeah mickle mickle chers are just spicy water i love it yeah haven't had one several i still have a ke. It's just not cold. That was the only downside. Like my Keats. There's definitely, there's like a, I'm hot joke in there somewhere. I'm too tired to think of it.

No, no, there isn't. Okay. No, spicy. You're spicy. Yeah.

I am cold. If you ask most people, I guess cold is, you know, cold Keith synonymous with a asshole and rude as joey puts it uh what's uh what what's your what fuck what do you what are you wearing over there uh big quinn i have the uh heavy as a number weight as a number heavy as a feeling and the uh the new squat shorts this is i really like this uh i really like this blank i mean my that's a good fitting my texas

power bar already putting some holes in it but it's uh i really like it it's like it's like they wash it in butter and then they like put a crown royal bag in the dryer and it's smooth we'll have to uh you know that might be better than the ai uh script that they have on the description of it probably that's uh it's pretty fancy they should put that on the yeah script that they have on the description of it, probably. That's pretty fancy. They should put that on the tag. Wash in butter and dry with the Crown Royal bag. I dig it. I just made that up. I don't know where that came from.

No, I love it. That's good. I hope that goes further. This arrived today. Oh, you finally got a chicken bag. There you go. Nice. I mean, considering where I work yeah but because we don't have chicken bakes in canada i was like that shirt doesn't make sense to anybody in canada for real but like come on i'm there every day so finally caved in and got this also

got um i bought another of the uh lifting department the new one. But that one is for Morgan. Oh, dope. Nice. She's starting to steal mine. And I was like, you will not. You will not steal mine. You will get your own. A lot of people have been a big fan of the Boxer fits for sure. I'm rocking out the meat shirt from Lift Hard Live Easy 2 this year, which you can kind of, we'll jump ahead real quick to the

one one of the bullet points we have is the uh since by the time this airs everyone's gonna have already heard it on the sister podcast but uh the the big news that tanner had teased everybody in discord with was that the uh lift hard live easy 3 confirmed nice july 19th 2025 uh and a new venue it will not be at the Odie. It will be at the huge ballroom at the Ramcota, Ramcota, Ramcota. I would go Kona wherever, uh, wherever Jackson ginger stayed at a couple of years. It was like my big, uh, my main experience with it. But, uh, yeah, the best Western Ramcota, uh, K O T A, uh, I don't know, uh, hotel in Aberdeen.

Um, we'll be air conditioned. obviously. It's like a big wedding venue. That was definitely buried in my head. That was the whole appeal. I think he said it was I don't want to quote me on it, but it was like two and a half or three basketball courts equivalently, give or take. So decent sized. That's going to be amazing. That's going to be a game changer i mean even if we have a couple hundred people in attendance that should still that may if anything i would just make it a full house in like standing room only potentially but just having it be like 72 75 degrees as opposed to 85 like that's going to be amazing

you're having the humidity be mitigated by the ac moving and stuff oh it's just going to be amazing. You're having the humidity be mitigated by the AC moving and stuff. Oh, it's just going to be, oh, it's going to happen. It's yeah. It's so, and that can go to heaven. You know, there,

there should be getting, they're going to get a group rate and everything figured out. So feel free to stay there or not, but I think you'd be a dummy not to, unless the rooms are, I think I even looked at them. They were, they were on par with what we were,

you know, staying at the other hotel at that. Uh, Joey got kicked out of, you can nap in between sets. Yeah. Nice. You know able to go to your room to take a shit is going to be amazing like if you have a spouse with you who doesn't want to sit there for a 13 hour event she can literally come and go or he can come and go as they see fit back into the room uh i was would i had asked on the live if they could figure out a way to just not do the zoo and just get a

dj there and get a bar and shit so we can just literally everyone that has to travel like us can not have to try to worry about getting home drunk from the bar you know or having to try to leave the bar early just to go get some sleep when you can just stay as long as you want and then stumble to your room and get up and go catch your flight like that would be amazing i don't think i don't know if they're going to do that but the zoo the zoo the zoo, the zoo is a sponsor, right? And part of the sponsorship is we are hosting the after party at your place. The zoo being a sponsor is what?

Like them throwing them a hundred bucks or something. Who knows if they're a sponsor next year? Like, like not having it. I don't know. Don't shit on the sponsors. For me, selfishly, it would be so nice to, but regardless, just being able to have a, assuming more people are going to stay. I mean,

there's a lot of people that stayed at the one hotel last year that we were all at, but, uh, you know, you think almost everyone theoretically would stay at this one. So just coordinating shit Thursday, Friday,

even getting, you know, we wouldn't have to coordinate ride Saturday, at least for the meet. You're literally there. So I think that was a great decision. Um, I don't,

I don't care if they literally charge us like 40 bucks more a person. Like, I think even if we just paid that to Tanner and Tommy and, you know, not necessarily to Dave or Jake or whatever, it's just like, here is the money to everyone. All hundred of us throw in an extra 20 bucks to, you know, go towards your, however many couple of grand they have to go to rent the ball and probably sell, you know, whatever, regardless, we're very, very happy. Thank you, Tanner and Tommy, for realizing that a comfortable venue, you know, might be best for the safety of everybody. Yes, thank you.

Yeah, agreed. All right, so that gets that out of the way. What is Bad Monkey? what is bad monkey huh okay so that was more funny because you know if you listen to the last two episodes two episodes in a row they've talked about like an ape show or something or some like tiger king spinoff but with yeah the chimp crazy yeah so then so i've been watching a show called bad monkey i'm still completely unrelated but i'm still a podcast host and i'm watching a show about a monkey so you know it's kind of funny and relevant. You know, they influenced me to watch it. Maybe.

I don't know. Hey, so let's rate last week's episode. I have a sinus infection. What was last week's episode? That was that was a big the doctor, the Canadian chiropractor. Yeah. Big doc, man. Yeah. The big doctor, uh, chiropractor. Yeah. Big doc, man.

Yeah. The big doctor. Seth something, right? Seth. Yeah. Albertson. Yeah.

Albert. We got to get his name wrong. Cause they made a whole point about how it was. It wasn't, uh, I thought it was Albert's worth, but I'm, no,

there's, there's no T in Seth. There's no T. I know that we should, we should actually know this. Usually I'm good. I feel like seven days ago I listened to that podcast.

Basically. It does feel like a decade ago. Sure. Albert's Worth. Albert's Worth. Albert's Worth. Without a tea. Kind of sounds like a candy that your you know albert's worth albert albert's worth yeah albert albert's worth without a t yeah yep kind of sounds like a candy that your grandma would eat um like the hard stuff and that's been there for years yeah it's just stale as shit you can't even get it you go to unwrap it and it's

like still stuck to the plastic because it's yes out of date and expired yeah or she has it in her pockets to give out similar Similar to pocket rocks, but we'll call pocket candy. Pocket rocks. Joey E callback. Yeah. So yeah, listen to the episode.

Don't know who the guy is, which should shock literally nobody heard some little bit of what scans had to say about his, about his wife. Again, not knowing anything about, you know, influencers in the strength community and stuff like that. I just like to talk to you guys and lift heavy. So I'm going to have to go ahead and give that one five out of five neck adjustments. Nice.

What about you, Quinn? Well, I liked how they went off on a tangent even before the introduction was done about four 40 stainless steel. But I was disappointed that they didn't discuss the type of steel in the wavy and fuel cans. I I'm going to give it a five out of five ginger beards. Ah,

nice, nice. Yeah. I definitely listened to it. Don't know. I i it was nice too because they came they always come out sunday and i fit 80 80 90 percent of the time i listened to them sunday night but i had a monster drive that monday morning so i saved it and it got me through about two-thirds of my drive and uh i don't know uh i maybe i really don't remember so maybe i got

to adjust my rating from what it has been uh but all in all we'll go ahead and give it uh five out of five ipod touches was this the episode where they talked about iowa accents yes yes i love southern accents okay as long as someone else says it first i remember every aspect of the episode i just it's just not at the top of my brain right now i'm from iowa and i've never heard that i was in iowa until i was 13 years old and i i go back every year see my stepdad i've never heard that so i don't was he i don't know where that came from so like when he's in sioux falls where what part of is he in like really northern iowa when he crosses the border to go to iowa uh we were i guess where

did he because he basically said he was in like southern Iowa, didn't he? Or was it what he, he, he, he gave a descriptor of what part of Iowa I want to say it was the Southern part. So I don't know. I don't know. I lived in Western Iowa, I guess, closer to California. So I don't know. Which would be closer to, I know where Sioux fall. I mean, so it's gotta be closer to where Sioux falls is.

It was maybe not in the North and South, but how close is Iowa to Sioux falls? Wasn't, doesn't, hasn't Tommy made a point that he could like get to either minnesota or iowa in like an hour or less or something minnesota makes sense but not um is there another state in there i'm missing i don't know but either way they're pretty close yeah but what uh what to ask uh ryan and jen i guess uh why they why why they don't talk funny that would be northern iowa for sure right because south dakota cuts into minneapolis and then iowa is is where he gets to yeah but i think he was on a vacation or a family trip or something he was in a different part of the iowa that he's normally in i believe that's when when him and his wife kept on where I guess she... And it's funny

too, because it happens. I think it happens to everybody. As soon as someone points it out, it's all you ever see. You could go your whole life and not notice it. As soon as someone points it out, it's just immediately just there. Right. Yeah. Never heard it. Yeah, me either. But again, what do I know?

I'm from Canada. Did you have a chance to watch the Hanzo combo rec YouTube video that came out today at about 4 o'clock? Nah, not yet. I did get to consume that. I was actually very tired and confused in the afternoon because

I saw the ad for the YouTube video coming up in like 10 minutes or something, and then Tanner just made the invite for the 50. Oh, we can, we can, uh, you know, give props to that too. The 50% off sale. So this will come out the Tuesday before a 50% off sale that hits Thursday, I think the 19th. So everyone, uh, they want to say it's a 4 PM kickoff for that.

So be on your phone, set an alarm. If you want to, you know, take a shot at buying a three medium shirts. But, uh, but, but anyway, I, um nate kind of had to call me out on it because i was just i just glazed at the date and the time i guess and uh didn't realize i for some reason i thought it was today so i was like all like logged into the at logged into the website at like 359 and like telling the boys in the group chat i'm like i'm i'm ready to go let's see if i get anything. And Nate's like, you realize it's next week, right? Fuck. So then I watched the YouTube video instead. So that was good. I enjoyed the YouTube video. Um, it was nice cause they kind of, they kind of took a shit on it, but like tried to be complimentary too, because you know,

they just, they just blew like 1500 bucks on it. So they don't want to like completely be like, fuck, this really does suck. But, uh, definitely didn't seem like a great combo rec. Um, does suck but uh definitely didn't seem like a great combo rack um mainly because the two or three big flaws the uh the bench doesn't really allow you to get if you're tall i mean it would probably be fine for me and joey but like anyone above like five eight might have a really hard time because your ass would be off the bench just because it's kind of like it goes farther back towards the spotter deck than it should essentially uh and then the you know they didn't love that the spotter deck too was kind of like which uh you basically were like extra i mean any combo rack you're gonna t-bag someone like a son of a bitch but this one seemed to be excessively in an awkward position so uh but i'm assuming they picked it up for the gym but it was at tommy's house i don't

know if tanner just brought it up just to like knock out a review because they were uh they looked like they were in Sioux Falls. Yes. Sometime this, the week that we were recording this, they were in Sioux Falls together. I think they said they recorded seven videos. It looked like they were a little,

they looked like they were a little sweeties. They were at Nate's favorite dentist, big Paul floss. And I'm assuming they probably did a couple of videos at each of those gyms. I'm assuming they did like a gym tour and then picked like one or two pieces of equipment to maybe focus on. It's his own standalone video.

So looking pretty cool to, you know, see when all those come out over the next month or two. And I did confirm that they finally exchanged all those drinks from the Lift Hard, the VZ. Oh, dope. Nice. Yeah, you called him out on that one last time. Did Taylor reach out to you or did you? I reached out to him. Nice. I was like, did you finally?

Because I want to hear the puppers. Right. That we delivered. I want to hear the review on that one. I wonder how many they got. He said about six. Oh, that's it? Yeah.

Oh, OK. I mean, it's it's it's you can't travel with drinks like maybe. Yeah, it's hard. I can't. How did you even because you flew what did you carry up put them on your did you do them in a checked bag steve drove okay so it's yeah steve brought them the poppers it's actually not my i didn't i didn't deliver anything this time but steve was like i'm bringing them poppers because they've both been watching or

tanner at least has been watching shorty nice yeah i remember uh jen hooked me up with a like a like a random uh well jen and murph both gave me a sparkling drink for the podcast and i was like i i gotta drink it today i can't get this home it's like i love you appreciate you this is amazing this makes me feel so happy but like i can't take it home yeah murph murph gave me that uh jalapeno ranch water oh god yeah i had to give that to jack and ginger i couldn't do it yeah i had to give that one to steve because i also couldn't get through that. It was spicy.

It was a spicy boy. Oh, those things are horrible. Way, way too spicy for a drink. Right? Like, right.

It's like wet fire. I don't, I love spicy stuff, but I don't. Wet fire. I love spicy, like hot sauce and foods and stuff. But for some reason, like an ultra spicy drink that is just overwhelming.

And it gave me hiccups within 30 seconds. And I drink, I eat ghost pepper sauce, like as my main hot sauce. And this jalapeno drink gave me hiccups. And I was just like, I don't think I can do this whole thing. So yeah, that was a love You Murph, but that drink was spicy. And Jen still I didn't get Jen's drink. She said she's going to send me another one because I think she drank that one.

What do you guys think anyone have any inkling on what the crew gift next month or two months? Because I think it's getting close. So we should know in the next 45 days or so, but it seemed like they hinted at it being uh potentially personalized maybe even too not necessarily just like we're gonna buy

400 of these blanks and send them all out that if they have to do 400 that are actually somewhat personalized but maybe i misheard that uh i can't remember i think it was no there hasn't been a live that i've listened to yet so or no did no, did, no, I did. No, I listened to the live last night, actually. Yeah, I think they unveiled it on the live. No, I listened to the whole live until I got kicked out. Because the live was basically the big reveal of the Lift Hard, Live Easy, not being at the Odie, et cetera. And then he had just, you know, did their line in the sand bit again. And I swear to God god i think i heard

him slip something in there about it being personalized or you know maybe not because they made it really emphatic the address and everything got to be right and so we'll see but either way if you're listening to this and you're you know you're obviously have to be crew by now so we can't really sell you on that but i'm just uh you know it's always exciting because it'll be what like the sixth or fifth or seventh i don't know so somewhere in there it's one of several crew gifts um or fourth or fifth fifth maybe sounds right yeah so i yeah your card your membership card the patch the patch there was more there was some the hall of fame yeah the hall of fame was cool that's for at least i think there's i think there's a fifth but I don't know what it would be.

No, I don't think there is. I think it's just four. I'm sure somebody will correct us and make fun of us. Yeah, as long as they explain it to us why we're wrong. Diligently explain. Alright.

Gwen, was there anything in the lifting or massonomics world that we missed that you want to talk about and at uh just current events if you will um not really i don't get a lot of time to get on discord it's mostly on the weekends for just a little bit of time and by then i've missed all of the jokes and so sometimes i have to catch up and it's it takes so long for me to catch up so not really when you're not on discord for because i mean i'm i'm on it way too much so when you're not on it for that long like you're potentially not on it for days does it actually when you open it up does it go to current or does it go to the last time you were open to that channel because i guess i really never let it go that far to build up it goes uh open to the last channel and it always says 25 plus messages and i'm just like trying to trying to build up? It goes open to the last channel and it always says 25 plus messages.

And I'm just like trying to, trying to catch up, you know? And I, I think, I think that sometimes there's some disinformation, like people will put in there some, some inside jokes that don't really exist. And so I go down a rabbit hole and I'm like, this doesn't even, this isn't even a thing. Give me one example. I can't remember anything right now. I feel that way too, man. It's like when it makes me feel bad when I don't get something, but sometimes it's like, it's so niche that it's a joke just between like four crew.

And it's just such a, like, like we have jokes inside of jokes and like, like there's so many levels, like there's, there's so many inside jokes that wouldn't even involve tanner and tommy or massonomic like massonomics gym or anything it's just like it's just because there's so many of us in our own clicks in our own like like not necessarily like there's just so much little side conversations that happen and then like everyone's friends with people on different uh social media platforms too so there's conversations going on on so many other places. They on Discord. But if you can grasp a tenth of all the crew communications in a week, that's more than most people.

Right. It's layer after layer after layer. And you have to peel everything back. Spicy onion. Didn't go with the cake? Cake's got layers. Yeah. spicy onion uh didn't go the cake cake's got layers yeah i the in my the and the bad monkey show they were talking about onions today so that was just fresh on my brain now plus what i just said was a shrek line so never seen it you've never watched shrek i don't watch kids movies

when i'm an adult very often. But I have heard that it's got a lot of good zingers and I should watch it. But I also feel that now that it's been almost 25 years or 20 years that it's like, is it? I don't know. Spoiler alert, she's an ogre too. Oh, shit.

Sorry, it's been 25 years. Yeah. It's not a spoiler after people have grown up and graduated oh one of my buddies um well big chris was telling uh big chris mark uh local guy was basically mentioned that there's like a new guy in their lifting crew that's like 19 years old and i'm just like trying to fathom like i'm like 20 fucking years older than that like i was two years removed from high school when this kid was bored and now he's like just like doing the same shit we are like lifting and you know trying to you know do strongman and powerlifting all

that shit that's just crazy that oh yeah i don't know just it's cool that he found it this that at that age yeah yeah as long as he can like not until he was 35 like some of us just just not destroys but i always think about it like yeah if you start that late or if you start that early are you gonna have a are you gonna have burnout earlier and is your body gonna be beat up by the time you're 40 and you might not be able to train as long so that's kind of like are we in a better position not fine like i didn really, first time I religiously started going to the gym, I was like 29 years old, I think. So basically a decade. Um, so I only have 10 years worth of abuse from gym. I've got 25 years of abuse from like working in

construction, but you know, I don't know. I don't know what's, uh, I don't know. I just, I know that like everyone, like a lot of people say like your joints can only have so many reps. Like you only have so many PRS and you only have so many reps in you. Like, is it, is it better to start a little later so you can do it longer? But I mean, there's, then there's people that have, you know, done barbell training for 40 years, 50 years, but it's like, I don't know. You'll probably find something else after like 10 years. Yeah. Something else to do. Yeah.

We'll cycle back when he's hosting this podcast. Nice. Big Quinn, do you have an ad read for us? I do. It's kind of a testimonial if that's okay. It's your, it's your ad go. I have my druthers. You've got your druthers. Good call. Okay. All right. So, um, ever since I, well,

I'm 51 now, um, ever since I was well, I'm 51 now. Ever since I was in my 20s, I wanted to just be strong. And the measure of strength is actually going to a meet, going by the rules and seeing how strong you were. And I'm a really competitive person. Um, I'm a really competitive person. And so I, I, I, I really wanted to, um, I just wanted to be big. I just wanted to be strong. And I was, I was worried about the power lifting world was like, uh, the West side morning crew.

And so I, it kind of turned me off and I had a couple, a couple of big injuries and I really didn't think I was, I was strong enough and, um, life got in the way, had a couple of kids and, um, but this, this power lifting, this power lifting dream never faded. Um, I found, I found the podcast, I found the massonomics podcast and they're, they're silly gooses. And I'm, I thought, well, maybe this isn't like West Side versus the world. Maybe this is just a community where anybody can go. And no matter how strong you are and how much you can lift, maybe it's that type of community. And that's the community I found.

This thing that Tanner and Tommy have created, not only is it a living, breathing organism that I think they can't control anymore, um, but it's, it's a community. And, um, I tell you all that to tell you this. So if you don't know me, I've been in law enforcement for 28 years now, and I've, I've, I've seen a lot of things and those things, uh, can sometimes stay with you. I've seen a lot of things and those things, uh, can sometimes stay with you. And I had some conversations with, with Tanner when I first found the podcast, he was very positive and he kind of showed me some, told me some, some different directions to go. And, um, this community, there's, there's absolutely no judgment. Um, so I, I, I, I started lifting, I've been lifting all my life, but I really started with some, some intent, uh, really going towards the power lifting, uh, specificity.

Yeah. Specificity. Um, and with this community, this community, and, and especially this podcast and, and Tommy and Tanner and the crew, um, they, they showed me that I can be a power lifter and I can lift and without judgment. And I found, and I found that when I did, so my PTSD was better and to get heavy, I felt better on the days that I lift and the days I had good sessions. And so Tommy and Tanner, the crew and Massanomics showed me it's okay to power lift and power lifting is making me more resilient mentally. And so that's my testimonial. It's not an ad read. It's just something from the heart to those guys and to the crew that I feel so welcome. And it makes me feel better. And I'm laughing more on the days I lift and I smile.

And going to Lift Hard, Live Easy, it was just amazing knowing these people on Instagram and on Discord. And we're just friends. We just haven't met in person. And it really has helped me, my mental resilience. It's helped me be a better father, be a better husband

and all of those things. So I want to thank Tommy and Tanner and I want to thank the crew for showing me this. And it really has helped me. Well done. know we so we do this game we like to play no that was actually uh that was amazing um that uh you know that'll a lot of the stuff you touched on we will circle back to for like bullet points and whatnot because it is a lot of our show notes but that was that might be the the closest I've come to crying since Big Jen. That was very moving. Just the happiness aspect

of it. I can 100% relate to that. I'm literally a happier human in the last couple of years. And I think I have been first, at least the two years prior to that. So I think a lot of us can relate to that. I don't think any of us are here because we're all getting a lot out of this. So that was one of the more well-put statements. I personally really enjoyed that. So I think the crew and the sisters will really appreciate those words. Sorry, go ahead. I was just going to say, I was actually thinking about Liptard Livesey yesterday.

And about just how in my 40thth year and my kids have been born i've been married i've gone through all of the milestones and i said to my wife i said it's kind of wild that the lift hard live easy is like the pinnacle of my year right now right i'm getting like a not a promotion but like a new position all of the amazing things that have happened this year and all i can think about is man beers with matt and the boys are pretty fun that one night go ahead quinn and then and then it's over and you're like oh all of this all of this work and all this you know a year uh you know uh, you know, being excited about it. Yes, we're going to do this. And then it was over. Um, you know, and I, I, to go back to, to my testimonial, I, I, I tried to, uh, talk to, uh, to Tanner and Tommy about that. And I, I tried to tell them that, but it

just, it just, I, I don't know. I couldn't, I, I just couldn't, I didn't have the courage to do. So I guess, so now I'm going to do it so everybody can hear, uh, what this, what this means. And that's another thing. I love the platform we've given people here too, because it is, it is kind of awkward to like in person and say like, you mean so much to me, man. Like, stay it in a circle like this. I just feel like, I hope that people feel comfortable when they come on our episode and like, I can say, you know, put it into words like you did so oh that was a blast and you know now that you know everyone well i know tanner listens we'll have to we'll have to we'll have to pull this clip and you know text it to tommy so he sees it uh but uh let's um i guess

we can is that kind of so your your testimonial is kind of a mashup of a handful of our questions. So we'll just have to kind of, you know, pull some strings to expand. We can expand extrapolate even so you said you obviously you found mass nomics. You are here specifically do you have your first memory? Give me a

timeline. We're talking like 2018. We talk in 2022. When did mass nomics become a thing in your life? When did you start on who are we talking to we got to get our guest on the horn oh yeah little fuck we got to kick carp out i think he's been here the whole time yeah he's still here all right so kick them all out yep yep yep pick out ryan all right uh big quinn is that you it's i'm here here i am hey welcome you are live on unpaid and underrated we're going to jump right in don't want to miss any gold um i think keith was asking you about your um your massonomics timeline i don't remember the year it was uh the daniel mckim uh episode yep um i found him on

on instagram and he's hilarious and so i I just started searching him for podcasts and, and I found, I found massonomics and I don't know, within like four minutes I was hooked. And that's, and that's where it started. Oh yeah. I don't even know what episode,

I know the episode you're talking about. I was just looking it up. I couldn't find it. I was quick to 90, maybe two. Yeah, it was definitely a lot of was definitely oh wow yeah yeah it's a bit a bit so two and a half years give or take so let's put you in 2021 2022 era so good deal um what's uh where do you want people to find you on instagram um my handle is q cunningham 9859 q cunningham 9859 i'm on instagram um i'm not on facebook i'm on i'm on x uh i when i listen to this the strength quote podcast okay um i'll get on there

i'll get on there for about five minutes and then i'll totally forget about it after that but mostly instagram's my thing i love that you did the, the full clear double repeat of the, the, the name. Like I always do that when I leave a voicemail at work, it's like, or I basically, I lead with my number and then I end with my number and I do like a, you know, I really enjoyed that. That's something most people don't do. So I guess we're, we're showing our age with that. Yeah. Yes. I busted an okay out today at the grocery store because I took Oren shopping. So Morgan and Saga could stay home. And Oren asked for something. I just, I let out an okay.

And he died laughing. He thought that was the funniest thing he's ever heard. I have been using it. I'll say it more. I'll type it a lot now on Instagram. Anything like Strength Co. or the OK Podcast related. After having Grant, you know, because that's the first time I've really talked to Grant for more than like 30 seconds in passing at an event. So definitely listen to a little bit more of the OK Podcast.

I think I'm fairly regular with the last couple months I've been listening. I tried to do the backlog and I got through like two episodes. was like um they're they're there for me if i if i if i need them grant's a funny funny dude too yeah he is yeah love that dude uh okay so then obviously the the next question would be your hall of fame status how many how many ticks you got uh nine this will be nine um i need two more orders so I think I'm going to just get some sticker packs. I'm at eight orders. I do want to go to the Arnold. Obviously, Crew Falls.

Crew Falls is fun. You're Midwest. How far are you away from there? I'm in Colorado. Well, that's like six or seven hours. Not Midwest, just like Ohio is not Midwest. So you're West Coast. Not.

I thought so. Well, I couldn't remember if it was Colorado because I remember Tanner tagged on something when someone asked if it was Wisconsin or Colorado. So I guess I took a guess on it being Wisconsin, which I guess is closer. But I think Colorado is very not close to Sioux Falls. No, it's not. But, um, I've been looking at flights. I won't make this one just because of finances, but, um, I know I want to do the Arnold in the next couple of years. And I think the crew falls will be the priority if I can find a cheap flight.

It's fun. I'm looking forward to it this year. A lot. It's going to help me get through the fourth quarter bullshit at work and knowing I have something to look forward to at least. Right. God, if,

if fucking weather destroys that for me, I'll be so pissed. Um, so we got you, we got you in mass nomics. We know who you are. Um, you're in with Colorado,

uh, lifelong Colorado bounced around. Uh, I'm from Iowa moved here. Uh, we, I'm from Iowa, moved here. Yeah, we knew that. The day the space shuttle exploded, I moved to Colorado. Yeah. Yeah, and I've been here ever

since. Wait, were you going to move, or did the space shuttle scare you into moving? Does that push me over the edge to get farther from Cape Canaveral? You were looking up, and you jumped, wow, let's get get out of here and then just ran to colorado there's tiles falling on me uh no it was it was planned but but thank you joey yeah it was it was planned it was like 89 or 88 or something yeah something like no no no uh this is the

or a more recent one i don't know no i said a challenger was 90 something wasn't it was it where the like the teacher died and i'm gonna move here i could have uh 80s late 80s yeah okay so lady i was right i mean i could do math but i've been drinking old fashions so yeah we're not big math over here ah okay good yeah i'm faster than you i haven't been drinking oh we literally always race oh you got me okay there's three people in this world those who know math and those who don't yep i have never heard that dad joke that's really good that even took me a second yeah that took you a second that's good work well done um i mean you're only at eight orders that, okay. So if you go back in a time machine and get that ninth order, you know, you know, before

today, what, what was that one piece of mass economics merch you wish you had bought? I miss the silkies. Silkies are one of my favorite things in the world. And I missed, missed the silkies. Um, there was a whole clearance bin of it last year that I think they were all like, yeah, yeah, yes. I, I'd had to jump from the moon to get into mediums. Um, so, you know, I would, I bought like, uh, two shirts and a drink spotter.

I wouldn't, I, I would just bulk up my orders to save on the shipping. So if I knew I would go back and I would just buy individuals. Yeah. Yeah. No, that makes sense. Yeah. I can't find my silkies. I was looking for them for squats the

other day now this has been you are counting your recurring membership like at least for one of your uh 10 right no i didn't so that puts can i i i think i think we as the sister podcast you know have to have deemed it a a a number order. So if you just put in your buy one of the 50% off shirts next Thursday, if anything's in your size or just get some stickers or something like that, I think that might get you to 10.

Dadgum, I'm going to be 10 right now. I'm going to do a sticker pack. Nice. And I think they had talked about it uh if you won an award at the meet that that i don't i think they said that doesn't count right yeah it does not no yeah no but no but yeah no that that won't count we'll get into that in a second but i think it was tanner did had mentioned that if whoever wins the massonomics fantasy football league that i'm in would get it so this is the closest chance i'll ever have a chance to actually leapfrog someone because i'm not gonna there's no i literally have

to get i'm like 18 months from hitting four years or something like i'm not gonna get four years to like 2025 december so like not this december but 2020 december 2025 i believe so i'm not gonna win this year's fantasy football league at all i don't have a good team but it is the closest i'll fucking be like statistically you know if you were to ask big math this is my best chance in the next couple you know the next few months of the football season but i don't think you could just be funnier and like win a meme contest or something there hasn't been a contest wasn't that the last contest like a year ago like i don't remember i don't remember the last contest it's it was the jefferson deadlift contest yeah a year and a half ago

That was a bit It was 4th of July 2023 I think Yeah that tracks I think I have it It's been a year and two months It's been Where's my

Shit Tanner didn't buy us a soundboard yet Nate you'll have to put that in a post buddy so speaking of your oh yep go ahead no no you're gonna do it so you had mentioned your award obviously so we'd want to tell us what you won uh why you won it and i hear you're not happy you um i was uh most most injured um i so i've had a lot of injuries um during this whole this whole thing and i i had a single the the rumor is i had a double i had a single hip replacement about 19 months ago i think we've said it on our podcast that it was a, that was, that was, that was, that was, that was the grapevine rumor. Yeah. Um, and so actually singles worse when it comes to stability and things like that. Um, not so much for, for the recovery, but for like later on in life, uh, I'll probably have to have the other one done. Um, yeah, so I, uh, I won that and I DQ at the meat because of the, the ice queen on platform one. Um, so when I, I, I was called up for the ward, I told, I told Tommy, I don't deserve this. I DQ and he's like, Nope, Nope. It's yours. And then at the zoo, uh, I told Tanner the same thing I DQ, I don't think I deserve this. He's like, no, you've had a hip replacement.

You're power lifting after a hip replacement, which will take years off the hip. I would imagine. So, yeah. And I guess there's some controversy about it. I heard a little bit of controversy. I don't really know what that's all about. I heard about it on the podcast. Big Mo said there's a little controversy.

So, I didn't really know what that was i think it was ryan because he was doing reverse grip oh yeah yeah everyone wanted a big run i mean every obviously ryan can't fucking get out of bed and go to the toilet without falling down hurting himself so there's always some injury with that guy but i think uh you overcame significantly more uh you know, or maybe not significantly, but a larger ailment. It was, it was rough. And I don't know if, I don't know if big Joey's had any surgeries, but gingers require more, more anesthesia and more pain meds. And a couple of surgeries I've woken up in the middle of it to include this one. And then, um, during this surgery, right after they unhooked me, I woke up with no, no pain relief whatsoever. They kept giving me pain meds,

giving me pain meds. And then my heart rate went from 40 to 30 to 20. And then they hit me up with adrenaline to keep me alive. Um, so, and I told the anesthesiologist, I'm like, Hey, this is what's happened in the past. He's like, Oh no, that's 5% of the population. They always do that. Yeah. No, no, no. Yeah. And so, um, I'm on my Walker after, after the surgery, um, you have to like go upstairs and stuff like that. And I found him in the hallway and my wife had to pull me off of him. I was going to punch him in the back of the face, but, um, yeah, yeah. So, um, it's, it's been a long road and like right before two weeks before the meet, I was on our annual camping trip, climbing a mountain. I fell down the mountain, messed up my knee, had to go to the ER, had to get a shot in my knee. So, um, my, my performance

in the meet was not even close to what I thought it would be. Um, not, not to mention the heat and the cramping that I, um, yeah. I never drank so much electrolytes and felt them do nothing. And, you know, like a three day span, I feel, uh, I, uh, I had to go to the restroom. Well, I drank a whole bunch of water. I went to the restroom 19 times. And then when I was done, I'm, I'm sitting in the, in the rest, sitting in the restroom and, uh, I go to wipe and my lat cramped up.

Of course. And so I tried to switch hands and my other lat was cramped up and it was trying to break my spine. And I'm moaning. I'm just picturing your name with a shitty ass. Yes. Like a goddamn silly goose. Yes. And I'm moaning.

And I'm like, oh. And then finally, after a couple minutes, i walk out and there's there's um there's c poppy big matthias and he's like dude are you okay i'm like i i i need some banana i don't know yeah yeah monkey don't cramp definitely make sure i eat some bananas that day never what was the timeline of the surgery versus uh lift hard live easy like we're talking a couple years or like a nine i don't know whatever okay so a year and a half 18 is that um well i'm not supposed to lift at all the surgeon told me no lifting um like yeah seriously like don't run don't lift i'm okay with not running. I mean,

really okay. That's why I like powerlifting. Um, uh, yeah, it was, it was, uh, 18 months. Um, I couldn't do anything for about six. I was, I was on my couch listening to, uh, the podcast in the elite FTS podcast, um, for two months playing a little call of duty. Um, my first, the first time I put weight on the bar, it was like a quarter squat with 95 pounds and it was one rep was all I could do. And it just, it just took some, it took, you know, I really don't like talking about myself. So you guys are kind of like, you put me in a comfortable, uncomfortable position, but, um, it was, I know, I know it was, uh, it was, uh, it was rough. It was, uh, you know, it was, there was a lot of doubt. Uh, I'm never going to be able to do this. And I just had, had to have discipline and I just had to really just, just get after it and, and, um, be consistent. I had to be consistent. I, no matter what I had to get over here in the basement and I, I had to do something. Have you, um, and you're a raw lifter then, right? You don't, you don't fuck around with the gear at all. Cause I, I don't even know.

So with literally a hipster, like I would never, I mean, I got, we got good, good friends that like their conjugate and they're geared lifting and that I'm just not for my, it's not my cup of tea, but like briefs, wouldn't that be like the smartest thing for someone with a hip replacement is put on some fucking like single i don't i don't a light pair of quote-unquote single ply briefs or something which is basically anyone like aren't they just they're just like squat shorts that are span the like compressiony material but like, uh, for geared lifting or at least training for a squat suit, but not a real squat suit with like the shoulder straps and shit. Like that sounds like it'd be a fucking something that you might want to invest in.

Not necessarily. It's not gonna help your raw squat personally, but it's going to allow you to get under the bar. And if it, for the mental therapy of barbell work, geared lifting, or at least a squat suit or briefs might be your cup of tea well keith i'm not very smart and that's the first time i've ever thought of it so and i even thank you thank you i even saw something on my feed today if it was some sponsored bullshit so it might be just a fucking hodgepodge but it was like a squat buddy it was basically it looked kind of like

uh that's just tanner's hot, a knee circle, but more for, uh, like your hips or something. So, yeah, I mean, there's gotta be like, we just go down a Reddit rabbit hole of like power lifters with hip

replacements. There's gotta be, or there's a lot like warm, like warm pants, like strong man, warm pants. Yeah. Training those as opposed to just your mesh shorts or something like to

keep your, cause I mean, what's given you issues now, your hip or your other shit. Like, I know, obviously you just hurt your knee and shit, but like if your hip, if it's good, I would assume it's going to protect your new hip and it might prolong when you need your second hip replaced. If you know, you already have, you're prone to needing the hip issue. So I don't know. I'm just thinking outside the box and, and box squatting might be your, a good thing for someone to. Yes. I do those. Um, I know, um, I those. I don't know if I can talk about another manufacturer, but I'll say Herberus K.

They have those strongman shorts. I actually saw those popped up on my feed. Maybe I'll check those out. That's a good idea. I'm going to write those down. Yeah, they literally like I'm very new and venturing into the strongman world. So I was kind of like picking people's brains it's like well why are you wearing this just like it just keeps

you warm it keeps your hips warm like i think a cheap alternative too is little people buy like scuba pants it's just a matter of finding like a pair of like a 40 scuba pants on amazon that actually fit or just buy the ones from serverless that are like 100 bucks like it is kind of is what it is especially that's good you know what it's we're in september so add it to your christmas wish list or something and yeah there you go you don't have to pay for it it's a you know it's your christmas present from your family that's a good idea there we go i just every now and then i can pull one out you know i don't know you've had some good ideas i've listened all of them hey so up to date on our backlog um speaking of the sister podcast, circling back to them, have you finished the backlog?

Is that one of your Hall of Fame check marks? Yes. Nice, nice, nice. That's good to hear. I have been hogging everything, so I don't know if Joey wants to hop in or if I can go to least fun, most fun, but I'm good either way. I just had one. Ah. I was scrolling.

No, I was scrolling, looking for stuff to chat about. Well, you finish that thought, and I'll hit him with some least fun, most fun. So, Big Quinn, I got one for you. It kind of made me chuckle when you came on, because the way I had worded it. God damn it, I hate when I can't get my own time. Keith, I love it through. I forgot. It's a remote. Ah. God damn it. I hate when I can't get my time. You're doing great.

Keith, I love it when you do that. I absolutely adore it. I get so mad at myself. I get so mad at myself. All right. Bitcoin, if you're familiar with the new game, Least Fun, Most Fun, I'm going to give you one topic and I want you to kind of use your druthers,

but you can give me the least fun thing about it and the most fun thing about it. You know, elaborate as much or as little as you'd like to. So the one I went with this week was having red hair least fun most fun and it was funny to me because i forgot that you were a bald man so when i said having red hair i have hair this is i do this on purpose this i'm harrow dynamic Yeah, this is by choice. Atta boy. The least fun about having red hair is the sun. The sun is actively trying to kill us.

I am a sun cancer survivor. Got a big hole right here. So that would be the number one. Oh, yeah, yeah. You know, I think the most fun is probably the size of our genitalia yep yeah it's easily the best part yes yes yep like you guys say we don't have souls no yeah but we got ticks most of us are tripods joey's never been so happy to hear something well i got nothing i got now

that wasn't to say that i have this on cancer but i do have this big white thing right here that my wife might want to get that checked out that's what everybody says here's the thing i don't like doctors yeah i gotta go back to my dermatologist i had a pre-cancerous thing burned off a year ago and it's like back again so i'm, it could just be a sunspot, but I swear to God, it's in the exact same spot. It looks exactly the same as fucking did last year, 18 months ago.

So it's interesting because the sun came up a lot in all of the notes. I was just at, when I said I was scrolling, I was adding it to the notes to one of the questions from later. Um, I don't know if you want to talk about this one or not um but tell me about i don't know uh tell me tell me about the hot nurse doing your vasectomy i think i've spoken about my vasectomy and it actually relates to your

anesthesia thing. Cause I told, I remember telling the doctor how you say that word. What? Anesthesia. It's close enough. What do you say? Anesthesia.

Oh yeah. That makes sense too. Um, but I've like told the doctor, I was like, yeah, you're going to need to wait a second. He's like,

no, it's, it's automatic. And I was like, I'm redheaded. It's not automatic. You're going to need to wait a second. He's like, no, it's, it's automatic. And I was like, I'm redheaded. It's not automatic. You're going to need to wait a second. And sure enough, it felt like I had hit in the crotch with a golf iron.

Yeah. But yeah, no, I'm sure your story is way more interesting. It's definitely going to be as funny or funnier. Um, yeah. So, um, we, uh, we had a, my 11 year old, we had my 11 year old and we had some, uh, fertility issues. And then, uh, we had suddenly, uh, I'm, I'm 51 with a five-year-old, which was an accident when he goes back and he's, Hey, sorry, sorry, Watson, you're an accident. You're an accident. So I had to get, had to get snipped and, um, I have substandard healthcare. So I had to wait about a year and a half to get it. And I walked in and this, I can't believe you guys heard about this.

Um, this nurse was smoking hot. And so I lay down and it's like, you know, it's just business for her. She just, she just takes it out. And I'm, I'm sitting there and I'm like, okay, you need to talk to this chick. So you need to make her laugh. She sees all this, all the, you need to be different. And so, um, she's like just shaving and I go, how'd I's like well you missed a few spots I'm like okay and then I'm like while while I'm having this this conversation with her in my head I'm trying to talk to him and I'm like dude this is your Super Bowl come on come on show her come on come on dude dude please please come on and um so she's doing her thing and i go you know it took me a while to

to get in here um and she's like yeah i don't know what's going on but people just couldn't just i don't know what the deal is i go they just keep coming huh no pun intended and she's like yeah that was that was my that was it that was that's the best i could do. And by the whole time I'm talking to Pedro. Come on, Pedro. This is it. Come on. And I got nothing. It's funny.

I hope those assistants and nurses or whoever, I don't know what level of experience you need to be to be the dick prepper. But I hope they get paid well. Well, and she sees like, you know what, 20 a day maybe. Oh, I imagine. Yeah. And that's every day. It's not like, I mean. Every day.

Yeah, every day. Like when you're just a general nurse, you deal with everything. I'm sure you see it often, but you're literally handling Johnsons all day long. Yes, yes. Like it's no big deal. Well, I mean, for her. Depending on on who you are it's a bigger deal it was a big deal for me obviously i'm talking about it three years later i mean i if i had to handle more than one a day i'd probably be very concerned so good for her somebody's gotta do it glad it's not me. Yeah, I'm definitely glad it's not my job.

Wait, wait, hold on. I got to touch a bunch of dicks. Yeah, just every day you're just waking up going, I have to touch so many dicks today. What do you do for a living? I'm the janitor. I'm the janitor. What do you do here? living i'm the janitor i'm the janitor what do you what do you do here don't worry about it

all right go ahead there keith so having uh having kids that so you had a we had a 40 you were 41 and 46 then give or take when you had a kid yeah your kids yeah how was that was that was that uh obviously the first one was planned then you said that's just so i guess yeah it was gonna be my it was gonna be my backup for least fun most fun i really want to like put you on the spot with that but just like in general like just being the old dad like is that uh do you look at that as like you're more experienced you've seen more of the world so you feel that you're going to be a better parent than some 20 year old dipshit or are you kind of like worried of like all right i'm just you know am I still up for this? I guess. Well, mentally I'm still a 12 year old, so I'm really close to a nurse's hand. Um, so the first one, um, that was, uh, we, we did fertility.

Do you guys want to hear that story? Sure. Did you want to tell it? Might as well. I mean, I'm putting everything else out there. So, um, I went to the, I went to the doctor and when we, we got to the doctor, they gave me a cup and they're like, okay, go over there and put it in this cup. And I'm like, right, right there. And she's like, yeah, I go, that's the bathroom next to the, next to the check-in. And she goes, yeah, that's where everybody does it. And so I go in there and I was trying and, but dudes would come in just having coffee, exploding the bathroom. And so I had to go to the parking garage, put the shade up at the parking garage and

put it in the cup. Is that legal? Is that legal? It's legal if you don't get caught. Yeah so well it's legal if you don't get caught yeah um everything's technically legal if you don't get caught and so um yeah uh i went back i had to put it under my arm oh i was gonna say you didn't you didn't you didn't think it out with the paper bag on the way back like you're just oh no you have to keep it warm. Oh, yeah. You have to keep it warm. And so we take. That's a good episode title. Right.

Exactly. It can't even be that. I'm not sharing that. And so we take it back to the lady who like spins it. And yeah. And so she was she was like number one in Monsters, Inc. Keith, you've probably never seen Monsters, Inc., but she was number one. And so she talks

like this. And so I give her the cup and she's like, come back in 45 minutes. So she does the thing, come back, I get it. And she's like, she calls my name and I go, how do they look? And she goes, well, there's

not a lot of them. I go, do they look downsy? And she goes, well, there's not a lot of them. I go, do they look down? See? And she goes, no, they're just a, not a lot of them. And so did, did it, got it. And then suddenly we're pregnant and that's my, my 11 year old, um, you know, the, the five-year-old, he was, he was an accident. We were told we couldn't have kids and he was made in the throes of meh. Um, and, um, he, uh, you know, those, those kids, they, they really, uh, they keep me young.

They really do. They are domestic terrorists, um, completely feral, but, uh, they, they really do keep me young. And yeah, when, uh, if, if the, the youngest graduates on time, I'll be 63 and people will be like, Hey, you brought your grandfather. And I'm going to be like, fuck you, bitch. Um, but, uh, yeah, they, they do. It's, it's, I think to answer your question, It's, it's, I think to answer your question, I long way to get there. I think that with the experience I had, the life experience I have, I was not mature, you know, in my twenties and thirties. And now I'm a little wee bit more mature. I think that was probably the best time for me to, to, to make little human.

Cool. I'm glad. I'm glad you're enjoying that. I didn't say that. I mean, that's, I mean. Yeah. I'm glad. I'm glad you're enjoying that. I didn't say that. I mean, that's, I mean. Yeah, I don't think I heard that part at all. Yeah. As a non-parent, I just, I couldn't imagine,

like I'm 39, it'd be like me having a kid in two years and then in seven years. Yeah, it's like you, it's like you lost the lottery. Yeah, it's like you lost the lottery. Yeah, I guess. Just adding stuff to notes here. You're good, you're good. Was your hip surgery, so I've known a handful of law enforcement guys that, at least one of my buddies' dad was law enforcement. And was it literally just carrying the gun on your hip that whole time and the weight belt or your holster belt and all that.

Was that contributing? It was a contributing factor. I had something called pistol grip. It was a deformity of the femur. But I was on SWAT for 22 years and, you know, helmets and our kit and all that stuff that did play a huge role. you know helmets and in our kit and all that stuff that that did play a huge role the doctors were not able to quantify if that's really uh the reason and so um it it was absolutely 100 percent contributing factor yeah i just i i only yeah because i had like one personal experience i was like oh that's good it's what's cool about these podcasts is like whenever you see

i get i get to pull so much shit out of like my brain of like, like this is a, something that happened to my buddy's dad, like nine years ago. And I was like, Oh, that's the only other person that I've known. That's a law enforcement that had a hip replacement.

And it was because of this. So it was, is that a trend and yeah, kind of, sort of, that's pretty cool. So you were, you were in SWAT for that long.

I mean, we didn't really, I mean, take, you can talk about your job as much or as little as you want. We'd usually, you know, if it's cool and people want to talk about it, great. If it's gonna, you know, people don't, that's fine too. But, uh didn't really, I mean, take, you can talk about your job as much or as little as you want. We usually, you know, if it's cool and people want to talk about it, great.

If it's kind of, you know, people don't, that's fine too. But, you know, you were, what's your, I guess, what's your current role? If you want to talk about that and then the kind of like, you know, what, what got you there? I'm the director of the academy. I make baby cops do pushups when they make me angry. make baby cops do pushups when they make me angry. So my job is all really the administrative part of the academy, making sure it complies with the state and things like that.

And I've got a great team that is, you know, the day-to-day operations with the kids, with the academy kids. Like I said, I was 28 years law enforcement, 25 years with this current agency, excuse me, 26 SWAT for 22 years. I made it, made it through the team up to a supervisory level on the team. And I got to the point where, you know, I was getting old. I, my heart and my head were still in, in SWAT, but I was chasing around dudes with shaved arms on, uh, drinking a bunch of energy drinks with a fully automatic rifles. And it was just, just time for me to just time for me to, to hang it up.

But you said you stayed with the same agency and just, you're more in, you're in a, you transitioned like a lateral or a transition. So you didn't have to like you moved or anything and went to find this job is something you were kind of you were able to fall into yes nice nice well that's good it's always nice to be able to transition without having to uproot your entire life i guess absolutely so forgive me i i have a work question and just if it sounds uh ignorant um please just tell me um of all of the names of all the utilities you guys would use is flashbang the least creative name. There's got to be. There's got to be more that are very blunt. Yeah, it just describes what it does. That's that's a wonderful question.

Is it flashbang or is it bang flash though no but no but i meant like the literal like i understand the name of it but is that the cadence that your your body and mind perceive it no it's simultaneous so um you know what i think joey i think that i think you got us on that one. That was good. That was a good one. I can't think of anything right now. Yeah, it was a good long way to ask a silly question. So you watch Lucha Libre? No. All right, it's on the list.

I think one of his buddies gave us a lot of bullshit, and I think it was pretty obvious. I thought I sensed. I thought I sniffed most of that. Yeah, and they're all in a row too so if you know if you're picking up what I'm putting down that's a whole fucking row

can get just 86 bonk I saw it and I just didn't get a chance to do it it's wrestling yeah well it's actually a specific form of wrestling

tell me about the Nicolas Cage thing oh it's gonna be a good one I'd love this yeah this is good this is definitely worthy of this yeah i want to hear that whole story why and how and outcomes and how long did it go for yeah i'm gonna go get a microphone um so i um it went for several several years in the office i i like practical jokes. I've always been a practical joker. I would print off about a hundred pieces of paper with a watermark of

Nicholas cage doing different things. And I would put them in the copy machine. Of course you guys, if people are going to hear this, they're going to know now. And so I would, I would just put them in the copy machine and, uh, people would print out like, what the, what is this? And so it went around the entire agency and they thought that the paper vendor was, uh, either the, there was a virus or the paper vendor for the copy paper had been caged and it went on and on and on for i would say seven years that's um fantastic oh it was it was i missed the beginning sorry did you print them off at home or did you print them off there or no no i would just watermark up i do a watermark on a blank page from Microsoft Word and I'd print that out.

And, you know, I would do it and then I'd wait, do it, wait. And then, yeah, they thought it was from the manufacturer of the paper. And then I'm printing off a bunch one day and my administrative coordinator comes in and goes, you motherfucker. You had people. It would ruin their print file. So if someone printed like a 13-page thing and it caught it on page 12,

they had to print the whole fucking thing again. You just print page 12. Yeah, but regardless, that's really fun. Like way back, like seven years ago, You just print page 12. Yeah, but regardless, that's really fun. Oh, God, that's great. Way back, seven years ago, the accreditation people were in that office. And this is high-level stuff that would go to – for the accreditation stuff that would go to the state and things like that. And they would have to buy that page, reprint it. And you were regularly involved with the water cooler talk of like,

wonder, like, like who do you, who do you, who do you think it is guys? You know, I kind of stayed out of it until they said, I think it's coming from the manufacturer like that.

I'm like, Oh, it's gotta be, it's gotta be, or it's a virus. I think, I think you're onto something there. Yeah.

You've been caged. Yeah. That's good news. When I read that earlier, I think I actively laughed out loud as I was reading the notes a couple hours ago. It made me chuckle. Good. Oh, yeah. You guys got some good stuff.

Are there any other long-term jokes? It says in here to ask you about some of your favorite practical jokes. I play the long game. There's a he he's probably not going to listen to this. We did a dad bod calendar several years ago. And these the sergeant who is in the office next to me, he had this crazy, like, he's on a swing set and smiling. It was for cancer, donations for cancer.

And so I got that. I printed off probably 100 of those. I hid them everywhere around the agency, like behind clocks, behind flags all over the place so when he moves out of his office he's going to probably find 20 of those that he didn't he didn't know um the um the qr code for the the wi-fi the wi-fi um i put those in our training rooms and those actually link to that song. Never going to hit you. Yeah. Those have been up for like a couple of years.

So, yeah, I definitely played the long game. I think the best one that I did was when I was on patrol and I had a vehicle break in and I collect the glass from this vehicle break in. And I went to my partner's car. I rolled down the window and I threw the glass everywhere. And I went inside to the substation. I'm like, what happened to your car? He's like, what are you talking about? And I go, the window smashed. He's like, what? And so he came outside and, um, uh, the sergeant at the time knew what was going on made him fingerprint the entire car it was it was it was amazing those those are my uh my better ones oh that's good shit the fact that the qr code when it's still up like it's still up like it just like who i mean

is that like random people are like scanning it or is it just only for like your office staff and at this point everyone already has the fucking wi-fi password and all that or no we do uh we're always doing like big training events you're just fucking over people that did not there's just people that are coming there to learn and they just don't have internet now that's so funny yes oh I love a good rick good Rick roll I try to do one once a year alright

so based on our notes we've gone through most of this stuff already I'm going to go to Mount Rushmore now I hope this one isn't bullshit your top your Mount Rushmore of metal band oh that's gonna be hard yep

George Washington would have to be Metallica TJ oh Amon Amarth Viking Death Metal mm-hmm next hmm uh, a monomars Viking death metal. Mm. Hmm.

Next. Hmm. It really depends on my mood. I, my, my music goes on my mood. Um, I would say since it's route Mount Rushmore slayer.

Mm. Hmm. And then, uh, for the brevity of time, I'll say Slipknot. I dig it. Dig all those bands. Slayer is probably the one I listen to the least. And the rest I listen to a lot.

I listen to Slayer when I'm angry. Yeah, I guess I'm not that angry anymore. I used to, when I was a bartender, if people wouldn't get the fuck out at the end of the night, I would play Rain and Blood on repeat. Yeah. Yeah. When I was a bartender, if people wouldn't get the fuck out at the end of the night, I would play Rain and Blood on repeat. Nothing kills the mood of this couple in the corner making out, refusing to acknowledge the lights are on, then Rain and Blood kicking in full blast.

I'll do that when people are looking at houses in our neighborhood. I'll crank up Slayer. So they don't move in. You're a big basement gym guy then is that what's that what we're getting at or were you a gym guy nice i'm a basement gym guy so and it uh shares uh the space with your uh wood your woodworking shop and what looks to be your uh round loading so it's the uh my reloader back here and this is all my gun stuff behind me.

And then, uh, the gyms right there, uh, all woodworking stuff is in the garage. Okay. So I'm going to, uh, I guess give you an FMK and we're going to, um, so let's go. Woodworking, power lifting, a slash, just barbell training in general. And then, and then firearms. Oh, you know, I was actually worried about this. And oh, this one's rough. Okay.

Woodworking, powerlifting, shooting. I'd kill woodworking, even though it kind of puts me to place's end. I'd kill it. You know, where I'm at right now in my life, I would say I would marry powerlifting and fuck shooting. Yeah. Yeah. Nice, nice. Well done.

Well done. Let's do one more FMK. This one might be good. So I'm assuming you're big. I mean, as you already mentioned, mentioned actually this will be a great segue because you know being a ginger you already told me that you're a big meat guy so let's go with let's go with jokes

yes so FMK brisket bone-in ribeye bacon FMK oh I can't I can't I can't. I can't. I can't. That's not allowed. If you don't do it,

we can't air the episode. All right. I'd have to marry bone in ribeye. I'm so hungry right now, by the way. Do you like do you like you?

If it was just ribeye, would it be knocked down? Like, is that the bone in aspect make it that much better for you no no but just ribeye in general ribeye in general yeah okay good good uh that person might have told you that i ate a whole tomahawk steak by myself one time and i got the meat sweats and it's glorious um so bone is a the the ribeye. Yeah. Yeah. Getting bacon. FMK. I think, I think I would kill brisket and then, um, fuck bacon.

Now, do you do bacon solely for breakfast or is bacon go like, you know, put bacon on your sandwiches, your burger, like a BL, what's your favorite non breakfast, uh, thing to do with bacon? Uh, bacon sandwich is probably my favorite. But you can put bacon on anything. You can put it on ice cream. You can put it in an old-fashioned. I'm just curious.

Actually, I've seen that, yeah. Bacon old-fashioned. I think it was bacon. It would have been bacon old-fashioned. Bacon Caesar's is a huge one around here, too. But anything is Caesar, right? Yeah, you can, actually. There was a lot of sandwich talk on the Discord

this week and I didn't really want to chime in because I'm not a huge sandwich guy, but BLT is my go-to sandwich. I haven't had a BLT in a long time. One of my favorite things when I used to work at Applebee's Jesus, 20 years ago,

you could make your own food. You were supposed to get one free meal or whatever, but the very cheap cheap thing but you always just end up making some concoctions so i do like basically make like a grilled cheese be able to grill cheese with bacon basically oh oh that that was always good and then when i was at outback working there i would make a chicken finger sandwich and just lather it in ranch i'd use one of their like really good sourdough bread rolls with one of their like, like in-house made chicken fingers, whatever.

And then just ranch and cheese and put it in the crit, put it in the, the broiler up top. And, uh, it was the best I could look in 20 years later, I can fucking taste these things that like, like,

like obviously I haven't been able to eat since. Cause it was like a concoction you made in a commercial kitchen that like, you can't really recreate exactly the same ever again, but I can, yeah, I can literally taste all of that. I'm so hungry right now.

It'd be on a podcast. Yeah, that's true. Oh, I guess I had stuff to do. They are, uh, I think you're, so you're what you're, are you, you're two hours? No, you're two hours. Yeah. You're two hours. Yeah.

I got a friend in Colorado. So she's always, it's always funny when we're podcasting when i'm well when because i'm in a group chat with with someone in colorado too and it's like it'll you know we just we're all it's almost going off all day because it's just everyone's in a different time zone because there's a third person in a different time zone too it's just uh you know it's just funny how the time zones work and whatnot and the dude from california is waking you up yeah yeah, yeah. That's Keith teaches time zones, guys. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I wake up often and I see I've got

a message from 11 o'clock and it's like 5.30. I'm like, well, I'm going to message you back now. Hope you have it on silent. It's your turn. Yeah, all right. Keith, you got a list of these Keith's questions here. okay yeah this is at least two of those yeah yeah okay so obviously being in you know and uh you know a uh an officer for you know

most of your adult life there um what movies would you say represent accurately either SWAT or just policing in general, I guess like what, which movie can you watch and have to nitpick the least of like, they don't know what the fuck they're talking about. That's not accurate. So I don't, I don't think any of them really,

they're all bad. They're all, they're all bad. Um, um, the, the one with the, uh, LAPD guys, Jake Gyllenhaal.

Yeah. For, uh, yeah. Spoilers. The guys at the end. I can't think. Uh,

yeah. Up and up until like, like the first part of that, the first part of that is accurate. Okay. Ish. Ish. I mean, not even even ish but a little more accurate than than a training day yes yes yeah uh it's a lot more accurate than uh i mean there's parts of super troopers that's that's accurate uh yeah the weather with the ball but the ball busting and fucking around at you do. Yeah. Yeah. Yes.

Yes. I can see that. Uh, okay. Well, since this one means a lot to me specifically the opening scene, a point break, uh,

where he's going through the, uh, you know, the, uh, the gun range. If you remember that one, it's like in the pouring rain would also,

would you actually, would you guys still proceed in the pouring rain at like range day and stuff? Absolutely. Okay, cool. So that, that wasn't false, but just in general, like, guys still proceed in the pouring rain at like range day and stuff absolutely okay cool so that that wasn't false but just in general like i don't know if you remember that movie at all or that

particular scene but that one just like i was a kid i watched that movie so many times that opening scene is just always uh stood out to me yeah absolutely yeah yeah absolutely you got it you got to train there yeah when it comes to like uh as an instructor you know you have to like push people out you have to get them involved but um you know for the the higher speed guys they they love it nice okay so good to know that um last one i guess we'll go with one i got a couple but yeah um did someone say you were gonna train for a boston marathon is that a thing that you're no that that obviously can't be right because you fucking told us you don't like running, so fuck whoever.

I posted that on April Fool's. Yeah, I did. I pulled that off your fucking Instagram. That'll give me... That'll fucking show me to not... Alright, well then, that'll round all that out because the other two we don't really need to touch on, so... That'll learn you. Well, I guess we'll... You want to go into unpaid and underrated there

joey yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah let's do it do you want to start you want me to start i'll go i'll go uh big when you are you familiar with this game unpaid or underrated you know yes i am you know i always butcher the instructions do you feel comfortable telling people the instructions of of how we play do you you want me to tell the instructions? Yeah. The only new listeners are going to be your friends and family. Okay. So you're going to ask me questions.

I'm going to say if it's unpaid or underrated, I have my druthers. And if I do not do well enough, then this podcast will not be aired. Nice. And unpaid would be the equivalent to overrated on some other silly podcast, but the upgraded version would be unpaid. So, all right. Bitcoin, unpaid or underrated? Top Gun, wait for it, Maverick. So, Maverick, not Top Gun. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It is underrated. It is the second best movie ever. Second only to Top Gun. Second only to Top Gun. Nice, nice. So how excited were you when that came out 37 years later or whatever the fuck? Yeah, it had to be 37, 35 at least. I was, they were going to release it right before covet hit

covet hit and then they kept having to you know extended extended extended i was um i was really i was really worried on on if it was going to be good or not and i i think they i think they knocked it out of the park for sure i've seen've seen the original one. I saw it on an aircraft carrier. I've seen it probably hundreds of times. It's just my favorite. It's my go-to movie that if I need something on the background, I'm going to watch Top Gun and just have that playing for some white noise. I think they did really well. Yeah, far-fetched.

He's been in the Navy for 92 years. He's still a captain. But I think that part. Far-fetched. He's like, you know, uh, he's been the Navy for 92 years. He's still a captain, but, uh, I think that part was far-fetched. Uh, you're still working Quinn. Uh, yeah, not for long. I got, I got 200. Let me look, let me look. Uh, 202 days till I can retire. That would have been, I wish we knew that. That would have been a great topic. We'll circle back to that. Um, yeah, I, I, I think you i think you they did a they did a great job on it i was really happy with it nice yeah my uh as far as the original that when my my dad had like a you know we had our everyone had like stereo systems hooked up their tv and their vcrs back in the day so like to show off like how awesome his subwoofers were he would always play like

the first five minutes of top guns or land in the jets and they got the fucking the music blaring and everything so i was just always the first kid that was very like pivotal you know a very uh you know something i'll always remember basically the first base yeah it's a good movie both of them and i was very impressed with how much maverick didn't suck when i was a hundred percent sure it was going to suck. Like every sequel or remake of like our favorite movies just fucking are trash. So I'm glad that they did it justice. Rumor is there's a third one. I don't know about that.

Ooh, that's right. All right. Unpaid or underrated. I hope this is accurate. Um, what do you feel like, uh,

how do you feel about pooping with your shirt on? Okay. I thought everyone did that until I found out they didn't. Did what? I thought everybody took their shirt off when they went number two. The note was that he does

like to take his shirt off when he takes deuces, i had to i had to word it a little bit just to yeah i thought it was a thing i thought everybody did it and i walked out of the bathroom one day and people like what are you doing i'm like i had to i had to go number two why is your shirt off you you don't take your shirt off no dude wait let me interrupt were you like 20 30 or 40 when this conversation happened for the first time 12 mid-20s okay that's mid-20s yeah i thought it was a thing and it wasn't so do you still do it out of a habit absolutely i mean you got to spread out i mean i could like if i'm sick maybe like i don't know but just like going to a public bathroom and and this is i don't want to deep dive too much into your shit habits but it's kind of

like as a man that's probably you've had to shit in your uniform for the last 30 years like you're not taking your fucking vest off to shit i can't imagine well sometimes you have to. I'm not very uniformed anymore. I'm more of a light uniform. So, you know, most bathrooms now have changing tables, which, you know. You're not shitting on the changing tables, are you? Just wait for the family restroom and hope that it's available when you get to go. Then you could spread out. You could take everything off. Put it on the changing table uh yeah yeah good man that's funny that is yes

i'm surprised you didn't ask him about it when he said he fell down the mountain i thought there was going to be a shit on a mountain story on this episode oh yeah big david now big the one big david can explain why that's funny to the other big david uh so let's go one more. Yeah, one more. One more unpaid or underrated for you, Big Quinn. Dairy products. How do you feel about dairy products?

Okay. I think for me, they're underrated. But for everybody around me, they're, uh, uh, yeah, they're unpaid, uh, a little bit of a lactose intolerance issue, which doesn't really bother me, but it bothers.

Oh, so you still, I was about to ask if you got that backwards. So, so you're still consuming it. It just gives you gas basically. Yes. Well,

it's like weaponized gas. Oh, it's messy. Oh, it's uh sometimes and sometimes i use it i i use it for fun um yeah it'll take like a fucking hot boxing yes yeah absolutely a frosty i've timed a frosty it took 12 minutes before uh from from my first my first bite to uh to when it was hitting me. Frosties are so fucking underrated for like a fast food dessert. Frosties are, chocolate frosty is fucking, like you can get a kiddie chocolate frosty for like $1.50 or something.

And it's like such a perfect little ice cream treat. You dip the french fries in them? I was about to bring that up. If you don't, you're fucking wild. Like you have to. Yes, yes. If you do not put, if you do not fucking put your french fry fry like half the french fries go in the sandwich the other half used for the fucking uh the frosting at wendy's like that's just that is wendy's 100 if you don't dip them

you're a communist yep not to get political yeah we don't do that here all right i think i'm gonna pass the baton over to the other ginger all. Unpaid or underrated avocado toast? I don't know. I don't know if I've ever had an avocado toast. That was one of your buddies fucking with us. I know who that is.

He is underrated. I'm telling him his submission wasn't. And it comes up a lot right where like people try to do this to us and they think it's going to be funny and like no it kind of just stops the show for a second yep we actually we might have all of nate put a disclaimer or something it's like you if you don't put accurate shit it really does like enjoy it there's no way to talk about it and it's annoying. Yep. Unpaid or underrated police Academy one.

Oh, there's some parts in there that I'll say underrated. There's some parts in there that are pretty funny. Not, not any way shape or form accurate, but it is, it is funny. Who's the guy with all the guns? Tackleberry?

That's you, isn't it? It's got... Okay. Yeah, I guess. I ran right into that one, didn't I? You don't run anywhere, Quinn. We know that. No.

The personalities are... I like all the characters and the personalities i'll say uh underrated all right unpaid or underrated flat brimmed hats unpaid what i don't why would you put on a hat when you put on a hat it's for your it's it's for the shade okay you gotta do the bill so the bill fits your like i hate those things i don't i mean i'm getting like an emotional reaction right now um i just i i don't and my son wears them and every time like really that's your hat choice today he's like yeah because it's cool i go no no it's not it's not of course i am older than him and it is probably cool for him and his friends but yeah um i can't stand those i'm sorry my son can hang out with me in my big wide-brimmed sunshade hat yeah it's got the thing on the back of the neck

that hides you protect you from the back of your neck. Oh yeah, hikers hats or whatever. You know, you can, whatever hat you think is cool when you're a young buddy, daddy's safe. It's an unpaid or underrated breadsticks. Breadsticks?

Yeah. Um, I would say okay. It's a big variance in breadsticks. Yeah. Where you're at. Okay. I would say okay it's a big variance in bread yeah okay I think this is

probably more of like the Outback bread or the Texas Roadhouse bread I can the rolls that's probably what that's in regard to. I can fuck up a basket of Texas Roadhouse rolls. Yeah.

That cinnamon butter is clutch. Oh, it's amazing. Yeah. Yeah. Underrated. All right. I think you passed unpaid and underrated today. He did.

We did it. I do want to hijack it one thing real quick so we lost uh james earl jones this week i don't know i mean everyone should be familiar with him and his like movie history and everything so i want to share i i would like to everyone to share their favorite james earl jones uh you know role if they have one like a movie that he did that was you know you enjoyed it can either be your favorite movie that he was in or your favorite role that he did. Well, I guess you guys think of it, if you want to do this, I'm going to say, for me,

probably a little more obscure. A lot of people are going to say Lion King or something, but I really enjoyed, you know, his role in Field of Dreams. And then as my runner up, probably, you know, lesser known, I guess, would be The Coach and Best of the Best. Those two really stuck out. I mean, obviously, you know, known I guess would be the coach and best of the best those two really stuck out I mean obviously you know that you know the more mainstream ones that you know other people might mention were great as well

but those two they just stuck out to me as a kid and you know when I saw that he passed away I looked him up he was he was like 93 or something I was like damn he's older than I thought so makes me realize how fucking old I'm getting when people that were like you, making movies that I'm mentioning probably when I, when he was my age and fuck that was 40 years ago. So yeah, it tracks that he's like, well, it's 90 some years old. So do you have anything that comes to mind for James Earl Joan Quinn? Um, Conan, the barbarian. I was going to say false, false, a doom also doom um and when he he didn't sing but he he um spoke the national

anthem at a baseball game in in 1996 um and just his voice um i gotta look that up later it really i believe it's 19 1996 um it it it really i think it impacted a lot of people just because his voice is so um so iconic yeah he was um for those who might not remember um he was of course darth vader he was tulsa doom he was mufasa um he was apparently in meteor man which i yes don't remember it was a very interesting i think he was the guy at the end that came out with the other meteor shard and let the main character kind of recharge at the end. But he was not a big role. Like a very like like like eighth lead or something. It's like like 20 lines, maybe.

Well, that was a fun, depressing way to go. And I thought that it was it was deserving. I like James Earl Jones. We're celebrating him. It's a celebration. I forgot about it until it kind of came up. So, well, this is the time where we hand it over to you,

Big Quinn. If there's anything you want to shoot us, you know, whatever you got. What is something unique about you that very little people know or you a special talent unique or a special talent oh not a lot of people know about when hot nurses are around well you got me there um a talent i would say it's it's not as good as it used to be because my uh so when i was a kid i had a huge gap between my two front teeth like a very large gap uh and i could spit water through it

literally like 15 feet across the room uh without getting any like spray out the sides and then as my wisdom tooth came in you know in my early 20s whatever it almost closed perfectly but there's still a little bit of a gap there i can still do it but not as good as i could when i was a kid i used to be able to fucking shoot i have like i remember like just drinking water on my back porch with like a huge back porch like the full width of our house so like 50 feet and i could like see how far i could fucking spit it like like it's not necessarily spitting but like it's forced the water out through my teeth hole it's like a super soaker through your teeth yeah basically do you do you still use that

for evil i think i did do it to stephanie the other day and she got really pissed but i told her i like i warned her because she was doing something it was i i think she might have i don't remember what she was doing something that she was doing it to egg me on like in a playful way and i was like i'm gonna i'm gonna fucking like spit water on you if you do that and she's like no you won't fucking just right in the side of her face Big Joey is that what you're going with no god no that was just okay I'll give you two and I might

have spoken about these before are you going to take your shirt off to give us two I see what you did there poop joke it's been a while but I am very good at throwing frisbees frisbees yeah I am very good at, it's been a while. Yeah.

I am very good at throwing a Frisbee. Um, if you guys are familiar with the can of, uh, with the game of can jam, which is essentially horseshoe with Frisbees. Uh, my buddy Jay and I went, uh,

I believe it was 50 games undefeated. Dang. Okay. I have superior Frisbee control and i just his brother was the one that he came up to my house it was like right during the lockdowns and they finally like opened up a bit and they were like okay you can have 10 people and then i was like get everybody up here let's have a party and his brother i distinctly remember was like i'm coming up and i'm beating you guys and i'm not leaving until you guys are too drunk to play or I beat you.

And I remember just, I threw a shot and it just landed perfectly. And I hear his brother go, God, he's so good. And I was like, but I'm just like a fab power lifter who just happens to have superior Frisbee control and I can catch flies, um, uncannily well, it is, it's almost like second nature. Like I'll be be could we live near a turkey farm so we get a lot of flies in the house and i'll just come walking out of the bedroom half asleep and i go oh good morning honey and then i'll just like wave and have a fly in my hand and it's she's like how i have like i don't know but i just have this weird sense of seeing where they're gonna go and catching them out of

the air or off of something and then i have to take it outside because i'm not gonna crush it with my bare hands that's disgusting like great now i have now i have a fucking chore i got a dead turkey fly right yeah i gotta let it loose i got a chore i've got to go outside and throw this fly out. Yeah. Those are two random things people don't know about me. So that's your superpower is catching flies. Yeah. Okay.

If you could be any animal, and I'll give you an example. If you could be any animal, if you were an animal, what animal would you be? And for, for an example, I have like my outward facing persona and then my inward facing persona outward. Uh, I'd be more of a silverback gorilla at work and things like that. But inward, I'm more of just a go easy whale shark. So what animal or animals closely resemble you or what animals or animal would you be? closely resemble you or what animals or animal would you be i'd say outwardly i'd probably be a fox like if we're going to play the outward and inward game um but inwardly i'm probably a black bear tell me more about that well because they're just giant raccoons right like they're just they're just big dumb and hungry and like that's essentially me most of the time like i come up from the gym and i'm just like food and but like i'm still

i'm not dangerous i'm still like i wouldn't say dainty but like i'm still like fun and playful and so yeah i would say probably a black bear okay that's good what about you keith i mean i'm probably a cat i see what my cats have done for like my my current girls and what my previous boy did and they live very easy free lives uh my previous cat was indoor outdoor so he had a lot more freedom so i probably see myself more as that than my current girls who are indoor only so you know just ultimate freedom to do whatever you want. And if that means laying in the sun with your balls in the air all day long, that's fucking great. You can do that.

And, you know, food on demand sounds great to me. You know, having someone, you know, clean up my shit. Sure, let's do it. That's not, I don't know. I don't really, honestly, other than cats, I don't put any effort or thought into any animals in the entire world. I don't think like other than like when I'm at work and I have to avoid attack dogs that want to fucking bite me. Like I just, I'm not a huge animal guy, just like my cats. So I'll relate to my kitties. That would be the life. Just hang out.

I came home today and like, I hadn't, hadn't seen him since Sunday when we left, my mother-in-law had been staying at the house because uh you know taking care of him and you know they gave me like a half second of attention and then went back to just chilling and you know one of them did come up and cuddle with me on the couch for a bit but it's just like they're not overly worried you know about anything at least you know these every cat i've had will be affectionate at times but not always so you like you know a nice variety of personality and i feel it's always on their terms i have a large variety of personality yeah good cool um that's that's all i really could come up with um i mean we

could go we'll just send you back to the uh you know the the cum clinic and see if you can get any more i wanted to. I wanted to say vasectomy in doctor's office, but I couldn't think of the word vasectomy, so I had to say cum clinic. So you went right to cum clinic. Yes, all I could think of. Alright.
