Hello everybody and welcome to episode 180 of the unpaid and underrated podcast, the
episode crew cast podcast by crew or crew that fucks up the intro once a week.
I mean, it's a good average and that's 100% average.
It's pretty solid.
Yeah, swinging, swinging for the stars here today, guys.
So that was big Keith that you heard there and we've got big Jess says back again.
Hello there.
Can't get rid of me.
Hello.
I don't think we want to.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, you're wrong.
Well, we'll keep her around. She's a good one. And Joey, don't forget to
introduce yourself. Oh, yeah. I'm big.
I've done this before. You couldn't tell by the way I completely screwed up the
intro. That's just like, that's how you know I'm here. I did talk to him last
minute because we were having I think multiple of us were having tech and tech technical difficulties at the moment. So I'm still trying I did toss it to him last minute because we were having, I think multiple of us were having technical difficulties
at the moment.
So I'm still trying to get all my stuff open on the computer.
So be graciously.
So for those of you that are tuning in,
I see a couple of you here.
Today is the day that we are going
to announce the winner of the cartwheel competition.
So for those of you who aren't familiar,
and if you aren't, where have you been?
About two weeks ago, we had Big Jess on
and you said something along the lines of
the one true test of strength is a cartwheel.
And, you know, it was like, okay, yeah, we all did it.
We all know I can do one.
Like you made a joke about that or something.
But then Scott Dodds did one and he tagged us and you.
And he was like, do you mean like this?
And I got to be honest with you, I had just worked, I think, 12 hours.
And because I was opening a new warehouse,
so I was doing five a.m. to pretty much five or five thirty p.m.
And then I saw that and then I was just like, that's it.
I'm doing that.
And I actually didn't check with Nate or Keith at all.
I just kind of did it.
And we were playing catch up on that.
I was like, so I kind of made the video and didn't tell anybody,
like, I'm doing this competition.
And then I was like, I would figure out the prize later.
Like I just kind of dove in headfirst and then had no clue what was going to happen.
But then I remembered our friend, big carp there had asked us earlier in the summer
right about two weeks after the battle for the breaker, if we could do one for a barbell
rescue. So I messaged carp and I was like, do you still want to do that?
Um, surprise.
I've already launched it.
So if you just want it, if you just want to help on this one, that would be great.
And he stepped up and, uh, then I tagged in a big Jess here, tagged in
barbell rescue themselves and, and big cam.
Yep.
Um, so carp, uhp Nates somewhere on here.
I don't know if he's Nathan's iPhone 15 pro or not, but he's somebody I'm going to
mute that person.
So, yeah, like we just.
I know went wild on on this one and the submissions were amazing.
They were good. Yeah, I really.
I said to you guys earlier, make sure that I say this, like, thank you everybody for taking this stupid idea I had and just making it fun.
And the submissions were great and they were creative and they were hilarious.
You know, and some 160 pound mediocre lifter from Canada got people all over the continent
to go out and try a cartwheel. Sometimes some of you for the first time. And you know, just
I just got to say thanks guys. It was a lot of fun. I took it really seriously. We had
a whole group chat. We were sharing all the posts. we were rating them as they went. But a few things
changed regarding pricing. Do either of you guys want to talk about that or would you
like me to do that?
Yeah, initially, I think Harp had volunteered to do one barbell rescue brush and I believe
we are now up to three brushes and we'll go and send decent the winner gets to pick their color
the second guy gets to pick the last you know because I think he has three colors with the
you know reach out to carp we'll figure all that out but uh I believe it's three brushes
and a couple other goodies um not 100 sure but yeah carp stepped up for that and I think
big Jess is he wants to kind of cover shipping for us and uh you know we should be good to
go get a nice little care package so the the top three will all be getting an actual prize it won't
just be like here here's the winner and then you know the two runner-ups just
get a you know pat on the back there actually gonna be three barbell rescue
brushes getting shipped out you know across the country possibly across the
world so it's pretty cool stuff appreciate your carp and you know thanks
we had so much I did just count it looks like we had to mine to my you know, thanks so much. I did just count. It looks like we had to my, to my, you know, I'm not big math, but we did have 15 separate, uh, there, the, the, you know, the story highlight had, had a couple, uh, or I think, uh, Angry Monkey posted twice and, uh, I think Dodd was on there twice, but I think it ended up being 15 separate crew.
Um, did submit. So that was kind of cool to see. I personally did not partake
because I didn't trust the old shoulders
and joints and all that.
But you know, maybe if I was like a trampoline park
or something, I would have gave it a go.
So yeah, based on what I understand,
top prize is going to get a bigger prize.
So they're going to get like barbell rescue,
a bottle of oil, possibly a shirt.
Yeah, yeah, that's right.
And then the next two are still going to get a barbell rescue, a bottle of oil, possibly a shirt. And then the runner up, the next two are still going to get a barbell
rescue, but like not as many things.
And then I think we might even have some, some fun stuff for the rest of the people
that submitted. So let's go with some of the runner ups.
I would like to personally nominate myself
because even though I can't win, I think I slayed that. I think that was, I
did 10 cartwheels in my backyard after a heavy squat session. And the only thing that stopped
me at 10 was I got so dizzy. I legit me falling over in that video was me actually falling
over. Like I could not stand anymore. The world was spinning. You gave it your all, Joey. You did a good job. Your cartwheels were very like upright. I think
like the camera angle was at your wife who is recording. Like the side profile, I could see
like you were straight up and down. So you got a really good skill score for me on the cartwheels.
Thank you. Thank you. Um, actually, and what I'd like to do, if you guys don't mind is to throw the, the next couple of
things to you, big Jess, because you were the one who suggests this. And I think you had a
spreadsheet going, which nobody is surprised about. So if you want to talk about, uh, just
compliment some of the high, the runner ups tag us in, obviously we'll all put in some.
Everyone did so well. I was so like overwhelmed and surprised by not just the,
you know, the number of people who wanted to participate in this kooky contest, but
like everyone was so creative with like background, like music and like sound effects, people getting
their kids involved. I loved to see, and I think I said this in the group, like, I have such a hard time getting like any kid to do anything, right? But like the people
that got their kids involved and got them to do cartwheels on demand, and possibly multiple takes,
like kudos to everyone who had their kids. There were some Jefferson deadlifts, there was a lot of
great South Dakota and Mac, Masonomics iconography, you know,
I just kind of attend for everyone.
Everyone did such a great job.
I was so surprised to see how many participants we had.
And I believe, and you know, you guys chime in if I'm wrong,
but I think that no one got hurt.
I don't even, even Ryan Erickson,
I don't know if anyone got sent to the hospital
Someone someone someone landed hard on their ankle
Toby's buddy and that was in the sidewalk which one was that?
He came down what looked to be pretty hard big Dan Balder Dan Mercer and Mercer. Yeah, man Yeah, yeah, he he seemed like he whacked his ankle pretty hard
He seemed to my way,, I hope he's okay.
Dan Mercer, if you're out there listening,
all the best buddy, hope you're okay.
I did love that he was wearing the
ouch everything hurts t-shirt unironically
and then landed and immediately said ow.
Yeah, you know, we'll get to the winners in a second.
So I just want to throw some compliments out
to some of the runner-, if that's OK.
What why are you tagging me and stuff?
I don't know what life is. OK, so better.
Obviously, Cody and Scar.
I love that one.
Oh, it was so adorable.
And Scar was messaging me and she said, just like,
I think I had posted the video of the challenge
at like eight o'clock sitting by the fire and they posted about like eight thirty and Scar
messages me and she's like, Oh, Cody just yelled from downstairs. Come outside. We're
doing a cartwheel. Don't ask questions. So she posted and had no clue why. And I really
love that story. I told me getting his kids involved. Amazing. Amazing.
And they did great. They did great. Yeah, they did. Jake and his little girl.
If you guys remember at the Lyft Hard Live Easy, I became best friends with her.
So I was so happy to see her, her partake in this. Um, yeah, those are the, I mean, everybody's,
everybody stood out in one form or another. Everybody was so creative, but of course they
can only be three winners. Initially there was only one winner and I guess, you know,
things just kind of took off and went amazing. Uh, we want to just do say the runners, the two runners up and then three to one.
I'll go like bottom up maybe.
Or yeah, actually, I was going to let Jess do all of it because sure.
Because like again.
But regardless, who says it, that's the way we should.
I feel that it should be.
Yeah. Do the do the podium tied for fourth and then three to one.
Yeah. And then everybody else.
Thank you. Thank you for submission.
Yes.
And it was so hard.
I mean, we went back and forth for days thinking of who should come in which place
and, and just acknowledging everyone's great success.
Um, so tied for fourth place, honorable mentions, we have, uh, big Chris
Daminger and big Quinn Cunningham who both had a similar idea of doing
the cartwheel to the best of their ability outdoors in what appeared to be very cold
temperatures. Quinn notably wiped out in the snow it looked like with very patriotic garb.
with very patriotic garb. And Big Daminger also did not have quite such a hard landing,
but still look quite cold, and I think he's wearing,
I mean the shorts are very short.
So we appreciate-
Shorts, I think those were, that was underwear,
if I've ever seen underwear,
if anyone knows anything about orange underwear,
that was orange underwear.
There's not much left of the imagination there.
And of course, in Big Keith's favorite color, Blaze Orange.
So thank you to Chris and Quinn.
Those were great submissions.
On to the podium.
All right.
So in third place, we have Big Jake Hyde with a cartwheel directly into a 405 Jefferson deadlift.
I mean, where are you going?
And even like at the top, he's like totally unfazed by this monster deadlift.
And he's talking to the camera about sign up for the lift hard, live easy, classic strongman show.
Great athleticism, great style.
And just the coordination, you know, no, no, it's great job.
You said that took him five attempts. style and just the coordination, you know, no, no, it's great job.
You said that took him five attempts.
I gave him a lot of credit, man.
Um, that looked quite technical.
So great job to big Jake.
Uh, second place, a dark horse in the contest in at the 11th hour, big Nate Moe,
partwheeling all across the beautiful state of South Dakota where is he I can't tell where he's beginning
but he's ending up in a field at twilight with a giant pheasant and I
was previously not familiar with this giant pheasant where did he say it was
in Huron South South Dakota? Maybe.
We'll run with that, sure.
Well, you heard it here first.
Huron South Dakota.
He also did a number of cartwheels, I think 10 or 12 or so in the course of the video.
So great work, Big Nate Moe.
And in first place we have Big Nate Verde, who got teenage children looks like involved,
cartwheeled all over his backyard with great form, and ended up spinning, allegedly, right into the
family car in the driveway. Great filming, great sound effects, you know, and he's wearing a Coach Carp shirt in the video.
So you know, I can't no notes, excellent work.
Yep, that was definitely taking the cake for the silliness factor was him crashing into
the car. Because like he did great cartwheels. And then bam into the car. And it was just
like, it was a good swerve. So yeah, good work on there. Good work to everybody that sent in anything.
And again, thanks for taking my quirky, exhausted idea
and going absolutely ham with it.
Man, everyone just did so good.
I mean, we mentioned Toby, Dads, Andrew Garrison,
another Jefferson deadlift
and multiple kids involved.
I give everyone so many kudos
that these videos were so fun to watch.
I'm so glad that they are memorialized on the internet
for us all to refer to for years to come.
Yeah, I think we mentioned everybody at least.
Kevin also submitted and Big Nick submitted,
I think there's only two people we didn't mention.
So I think we can touch base on everybody that had submitted.
And if you didn't get, you know,
we didn't talk about you or you didn't win anything,
it's not a knock on you.
We had, you know, 15 submissions
and only three people we could, you know, put up there.
So it's, you know, those weren't great odds,
but we appreciate everyone submitting.
That was awesome.
I think it was our second kind of contest we've run, right?
Yep, yep.
The battle for the breaker and the battle for the brush.
We had a decent turnout and we'll see what is in
the cards next year, but this was fun.
So fun.
I cannot wait to see what we do next.
We, I'm just saying we, like I'm part of it now.
You are, this is crew, we are crew.
This is the crew podcast.
We're not letting you off until we can get our
guest on the horn or you know if
that doesn't work out then you know we'll just keep you on and do a long general topics.
I know it's like a surprise for everyone. Big Dan keeps logging in getting muted. Are
you muting him or is he muting himself? No no no. I see him. There he is. We have a guest.
We have a guest. What is going on? What's up, big Dan?
Well, you just missed the announcement of the winner of the cartwheel competition. Oh
Wait there is oh we have our we have our winner. Do you want to say anything Nate?
Yeah, you guys hear me. Okay okay or not at all? We got you. Yeah, I was just
having to be on discord and I saw that this was happening and I was getting
gas from my wife's car and I thought you know I better get on there and just see
what happens. In the chat I put that my shoulder still kind of hurts. It's a lot
of cartwheels for a 240 40 pound Masters lifter, but we made it happen
My my oldest daughter has always been made fun of by her little sister because her little sister does a much
More pristine cartwheel than she does and so I was like girls come on out in the backyard. We're gonna do car wheels
And yeah, and you did great. So
Congratulations
The real the real prize is the friends we make along the way.
Yep. So all the winners, just make sure you reach out to carp
with your address and we'll make sure to get all those out to
you. When I don't know, because I think we're still waiting on
some stuff from Kim. So
possibly. Yep. He's got to figure out if we can get any
shirts, I think. So, all right guys. Yeah, we'll see.
Thanks guys. Nate, Nate, before you go. Yeah. Yeah. Is it Nate green or Nate Verde?
Well, it's green, but to differentiate, I went with Verde. Yeah.
We were speculating. We had a big conversation. I was like, just, just go by the
Instagram and we'll fix it in post
All good guys, all right, see you brother you guys
Right
Thanks, Jess If we do like us, let's try to if we do like a speed round like a five minute or less
Just so we can move on because we're already you know running but alright last week's uh
Yeah, we don't need to do we'll drink under where and unless anybody's got something that's really standing out
Yeah, what do you well? We'll just let Dan do his what are you wearing there bud? I got my lift hard live easy
class cat my
raw power
Masonomic shirt fan favorite and the blue
Lifting department shorts of course my
masonomic slides. Oh wow you went all out. I did. That's what he was doing when he
couldn't get logged in he was right in his closet to try to find that you know
that perfect fit. I was gonna say drippy fit or something like that but I was
like I don't want the kids to make fun of me for not knowing how to say drippy fit or something like that. But I was like, I don't want the kids to make fun of me for not knowing how to say that stupid shit.
I heard Dan loves that when you use Gen Z.
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
It's the best when you're at work and you're just like, oh, yeah. What do they say?
No, it's a litty, titty, sloppy top.
We got a skippity.
You read Ohio this.
I don't think sloppy top is appropriate.
It's not Saturday, is it? Yeah, I don't think children top is appropriate It's not Saturday is it yeah, I don't think children should be saying that
Top me off buddy
You guys get a chance to watch the next week's Mastonomics episode or listen to it that is yes
But you'll have to remind me. I I don't remember
Bad rash
Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna be I was it was Evan Evan ash according to
It was
Yeah, it was a
The way it was received by most the crew was very similar
Well, I people had this similar mindsets on on Zack and his
talking similar mindsets on on Zach and his talking points and how long they took
possibly but you know we don't try to bust balls too hard here so all in all
I did like Tanner had a little recap on his fantasy football so far and was kind
of like talking I mean he deserves talking to up because he did have the
best he still technically does have the best record by far in the league but
yours truly did whoop his ass and you, give him a second loss of the wind
Second loss the season right after him like talking about you know, like in depth the fantasy football and how he'd only lost one game
Etc etc. So I enjoyed that immensely
That was my favorite part of the podcast. So for all that I will go ahead and give it a five out of five victory over Tanner
podcast. So for all that, I will go ahead and give it a five out of five victory over Tanner.
Uh, yeah, I kind of compared it to watching a Robin Williams special where he just kind
of like every tangent that he could find, he found, um, that is to say though, there
was a lot of good information in there. There really was. Yeah. He, I, he was, he wasn't
somebody that like went off about the squirrel
of the lamp in the room. Like he went off about some really cool stuff. So as much as
it was, now that you reminded me of it again, like it was hard to track, but also I have
ADHD. So it was not too hard for me to like, and then follow along with it. I can't uh, like I can, I can talk about how he was talking about the
old lifters and how he found those old plates.
Uh, what were those?
The iron iron iron island.
I, I, yeah, it was an old gym.
Well, and that was dope.
Like he just, he found those and you know, it was, that was really cool.
So, uh, all in all, I'm going to give that five out of five.
The only lines Tommy had the entire podcast.
I broke. That was really good.
What about you, Big Dana? What did you think of the Zach Evanish episode?
I liked it. I do like when people just ramble on
because I have ADHD as well.
So it's kind of fun to give somebody a 30 second question
and then get a 10 minute answer.
And then you realize you still have three more questions
to go through.
But if I had to give it a rating,
I'd probably give it two and a half blue shorts,
two and a half green shorts,
one full five lifting
pairs of lifting department, massonomic shorts.
Well done. You almost gave me a heart attack. Yeah, I was
scared there.
We do appreciate you keeping it to the five out of five as it's
you know, as math ask for it.
That's big math.
Big math. Yep. All right. We had the Donnie Thompson episode, the Donnie Thompson YouTube
gym tour, didn't make a chance to watch that.
No, I did not.
And that annoys me because I specifically was like, I'm really interested in that.
That was a good one.
I was pretty good. Yeah.
I just haven't I haven't had any time that wasn't to watch the Penguin.
Like I've watched the Penguin and wrestling highlights,
and that's all I've watched for the past week and a half. Penguin was wasn't to watch the Penguin. Like I've watched the Penguin and Wrestling Highlights and that's all I've watched for the past week and a half.
Penguin wasn't bad. I definitely think it's the one I've done.
Shut your mouth. No.
No.
No, it's the best comic book series since the Dragon Ball.
No, no, I meant a one I've done as in like it is a mini-series. Because like IMPD has
been telling me it's a mini-series since it came out. Everyone's like, oh, is there going
to be a season two? I'm like, no, it's a mini- a mini series that means it's like eight episodes and then it's gone forever.
No it was marked as a season finale not a series finale so there's going to be
I hope there's a second one because that ending was insane.
I've actually listened to some podcasts on it and they've all been like we
don't know probably not Colin Farrell probably won't want to come back into
another season because he has to sit in a fucking chair for like 12 hours a day
just did his makeup. Yeah wait till he rakes in all the awards.
I think he's going to make in for this and he might change his mind.
And then the only downside is how do you do that entire thing and Batman doesn't show
up?
Like how do you blow up half of the point and Batman is not there?
I mean, I can't make you can't make it the next Batman movie, but I don't even know if
the penguins going to be the antagonist in the next Batman movie
That we might get in a few years and yeah, so we'll see they got a they got to bring him in without making it a Batman
TV show that's all they can do
But yeah, Donnie Thompson has a pretty sweet gym. It was cool to see him
It was kind of it was funny not funny
But you know he had just had a knee surgery and then Tanner was there right before blowing his knee out
So it's just kind of like wait which one of them is on the crutch?
Okay, it's not Tanner yet because it was filmed two months ago.
But yeah, all in all, I really did enjoy it.
I like Donnie's gym.
It's got a lot of old, cool shit in there.
Not necessarily a conjugate guy myself, but I'm a big fan of training with people and
having a bunch of shit on your walls and having as many barbells as you can create in a space.
So nothing wrong with any of that in my book.
And let's see, what's the next one here?
Is that a, is that a play on your name?
Joseph Menick.
Oh, no, I was hoping we'd have more time for this.
If it's a long one, we can push it, yeah.
It's not, but if you just Google that guy's name
and click images, it's Joseph Menchik,
and me and see IK.
So if you have another device and you want to do that,
just take a look at this guy and I want you to know that this is not AI.
And then are you able to pull that off for you on your device?
Yeah. What was it, Joseph?
And me and see I device. Yeah, what was it, Joseph? M.E.N. C.I.K.
Oh, wow.
That's going crazy behind me.
Right.
So the dude with the horse and in his in his, you know,
is his knights of the roundtable attire.
Well, look at his face.
I'm looking at his face.
I'm soon as you say, I don't figure it out, but nothing's jumping out of me right now.
It's a little resembling to someone on this podcast.
That's me, dude.
I got to like put ginger on it and.
I guess.
Well, it's weird because like, it's weird with like, you know, a dark goatee
and hair.
Well, he's got a long beard and he's got the armor on and his mustache is a bit longer,
but like everything, the eyes, the mouth.
I'm like, I'm like using my fingers to like cut off the hair and like get it down to just
like a bald head and the, you know, some facial hair. But facial hair but yeah yeah that was that was sent to me like years ago
and yeah it's just been floating around it came up to the day so I thought I'd
add it to here it's just how wild that he's the he's the last living I do need
to we can we can throw it up on Instagram later with like a side-by-side
face yes face to face if you will, he was like the last living night.
He fought off some German soldiers and stuff in World War
one or two or something.
And somebody tagged me and they're like, dude, is this you?
And that was like before I so that's pretty wild.
How about how about the thing you're wearing?
Yeah, I was going to get to speaking of fighting off soldiers
and whatnot, as you were just saying, the home the home gym was at home gym hub is still in swing.
Uh, lots of crew right now in the, in the elite eight, I believe it is.
Uh, there was a shit ton of us in the sweet 16.
Uh, I thankfully was able to knock off carp.
Um, I am wearing carp shirt tonight in honor of our, my two point victory.
I think I had it like, so it was like, basically we're, we were 50% to 50% based off of like Instagram's like showing, but I did, you know, edge him out
by a couple of points. So I advanced to probably more than likely lose to No Way Jose next week,
but we'll see how that goes. But I guess Carp had sent me a sack segment. I didn't realize it was
a sack segment because it was just, it was just addressed to me and it was just in to me and it looked like junk mail basically because it was literally in an envelope, like a small
envelope just sent like junk. And I was like, what the fuck is this? And it ended up being a
my favorite movie actor there, in my favorite movie on a headband. So we got Will Ferrell in
that stupid Christmas movie that everyone likes on my head and we'll post a picture of it later. And yeah, that's my headband
So appreciate your carp. I guess first first first crew gift. I've gotten a long time. So thanks. Thanks buddy
Sorry, I beat you
And let's see and
Why I'm giving out thanks big thanks to Kevin
he is
went and picked up a 12 inch strongman log for me about
an hour from his house and transported it back and I'll probably pick that up when I'm
driving through Cleveland to go to the Arnold here in a few months. So enjoy using my 12
inch log in your basement for a while, bud.
Yep. Crank that log in the basement there, Kevin.
There's already been some good comments about, you know, think Trond had a really in depth
one that was made me chuckle and then uh
Everyone's giving me a hard time for spending all my spending my paycheck at SPD this week
But when you get an orange drop, it's kind of hard to avoid adding some orange to the you know
The power lifting attire so that that is my general topics for this week
Big big Daniel you got a smasconomic sponsor. Are you want to hit us with big guy?
I do.
Do you suffer from weak strength gains, clean underwear after squat days, or are
you generally curious about the best ways on how not today you said the coach.
If you answered yes to any of these questions, the mass and not
mix is the answers to your prayers.
Mass and omics is not a cult legally.
It is a lifestyle of strong and silly geese
that drink crispy boys while crushing big weights.

Discord members intellectually talk about topics such as corn, how we used to be a proper country
and proper head, headly form. And economics is not responsible for any underdeveloped quads,
has to smell like farts. If you have any erections lasting more than four hours,
that's normal, just take more ejacul aid.
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
Nice, well done.
There's a lot of good zingers in there,
a lot of good harkens.
I always like that.
All right, well, I don't know if we want to let these
lucky loos keep looking around for a minute,
but either way, we got to make sure
we get that guest on the horn
Big Daniel, is that you buddy? Oh, that is a real life. Yeah. Yeah
We decided we'd kick this off with a bang and get you on here
So you want to go and introduce yourself to the listeners?
Well, I'm big Daniel turn ask II live in Moorhead, Minnesota
Yeah, I guess that's kind of it. I've been looking for a while.
Well, where do they?
Well, I meant more like we're we're we're we're
we're going to find you, buddy.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm not really huge on the social media.
I'm usually just on the discord or sometimes
I'll check my Instagram, like coach eight one, two, three.
Perfect, perfect.
Everyone go give him a follow and you know, all right.
So what's your mass enormous origin story when you hear all about it?
So I believe I was watching the.
Move invitational.
No, the rogue strong man.
And Austin, Texas, I believe it was in 22. And I saw Bobby Thompson wearing
a massonomics varsity T and that kind of got me looking into them. I believe in Christmas,
I got my first pair of massonomic shirts and shorts. I didn't know my parents had to do a whole mortgage reversal to afford the shorts, but here we are.
And then I believe I joined, I started listening to the podcast a couple months later.
And then when the Jefferson deadlift mail arrival, the mail thing went in in I thought I signed up for the discord and I
Had a blackmailed tanner into giving me the discord link without proving. I purchased anything
Yeah, no
In this podcast now if you haven't made
Reparations for that. Oh, no. So what happened was I just got super high and forgot to click the except like
so my official start date for the discord is, uh, January 31st.
That's great.
Awesome.
Awesome.
Love to hear it.
So big fan, big fan.
That's good.
And that's why you're here.
Um, let's see what do you, uh, so, uh, you good. That's why you're here. Um, let's see.
What do you, uh, so, uh, you've been around for a little bit here.
So do you have a hall of fame status?
She wanted to tell us about, I do.
I believe I met this will be number six right now.
Okay.
And then I got the true falls coming up one year is coming up in July and
the July or January, and then I got 10 orders.
I got two more.
So I'll have black Friday and then my last one will be the, uh, drink spotter.
So then I still have to post an Instagram picture with another member.
And then after that, I should be at around 11.
So I should be pretty close.
That should be around 11, so I should be pretty close Nice that should be easy enough will be so so as you know as one of the inner circle here
Mastinomics, you know adjacent crew all that we'll go ahead and say when we post your thumbnail for this podcast episode
Next week, I think that's gonna count as a crew picture And if not, we you were at you know, you know
Well, I guess if they've if people want to you know bitch and mo and moan about that, either way, we'll get you something that crew falls
here in a couple weeks.
Oh, 100%. Yeah. Yeah. Like worst case, because I think we have some I'm surprised we didn't
get one at Pounders, because that's when you introduce yourself to me. Yeah, the only other
person there that has a Mastinomics tattoo. Yeah, isn't there six of us?
There is six, I believe six, yes.
It's a very elite group who does not take their body very seriously.
Nope, not at all.
No, not even a little.
My favorite with that is like the guy that got the first one, is he even crew?
I talked to Tanner about it at the Lift Hardlyis classic. I think he said he's out of the
Crew entirely that's just like you've marked your body for life
But like I wouldn't get a Mastanomics tattoo and this guy got one and just like bounced like that's crazy
It is really funny though
Yeah
Me you Dan Mary It is really funny, though. Yeah. Me, you, Dan, Mary, that guy.
Wells.
Didn't one of the younger
thought one of the one of the younger brothers got Andrew.
Maybe I'm not. Maybe I'm wrong.
I don't know.
Was it Big Andrew from Minnesota?
Maybe I couldn't tell you.
I'm going to go with five for now.
I could have swore like and they're like two brothers that are both in the early
20s that are in the crew.
Zach something.
One of them, Zach, I can fuck.
I'm really bad at people's names, but I swear one of them got a tattoo, but I
could be wrong either way.
Someone listen on someone listening will tell us, you know, we'll figure that out next week.
It. All right.
Yeah, so definitely surprised we didn't get a picture.
Not a photo person at all.
Yeah, I think I only have nine posts on Instagram.
I also don't I don't recall taking a lot of pictures,
to be honest with you, I think I had my phone away for as much as I possibly could.
I forced myself to take a lot of pictures with people just because I knew I wanted to
get as many crew pictures as I could. So I just was like, all right, I'm going to just
stand here and everyone just get anyone around me don't want to take a picture with me. I
can come take one. And that was if I didn't do that, I would have like, I like that was
like 80% of the pictures I had from the weekend. So that was kind of what almost what I had
to do.
So Big Dan, if you had, you know, what's one thing that you've seen
your fellow crew wear and that you've missed out on that you didn't get a chance to buy?
I've never seen anyone wear it yet, but the OG grass and I'll make sure
it's probably on my top of my list.
Is that the high bar club or is there one before that?
No, I had not the high bar club, the one before that.
Oh, yeah.
I have the green high bar club.
Yeah, we we we we think we had that conversation before.
There was a second like marijuana theme when it was the yeah.
Hi, Daddy. Yeah. Yeah.
So did you did you mention where you were at yet? No in your little intro I can't remember
That's right. Yep more in Minnesota. I got you. So that's where's that?
Okay, okay. Yeah, I was thinking of if it was Iowa
It was Iowa that people were saying has a southern accent. But yeah, you're in Minnesota.
Okay, so yeah, you feel like yeah, it makes sense that you're
near me. Because you you you have the accent that people
think people and from Fargo have basically, we've had multiple
people. Oh, yeah, yeah, I hear you. We haven't really, we
haven't had it come out as eloquent as when you say it
Wait, so where yeah, how close to Canada are you like like so I'm about
200 miles away from Winnipeg, I think the hell are miles
East blocks What is it? 300. 300. East box.
It's a hundred geese bees.
Is the conversion from kilometer to mile about the same as the conversion from kilo pound a kilo or the other way around?
I don't think it's 2.2.
I don't think it's close.
It's like isn't it isn't isn't a kilometer half ish of a mile?
Or is that more like three quarters?
Like I have a machine that could tell me that.
To Winnipeg, I'm three hours and 45 minutes,
but that's a little bit the borders before that.
So probably three and a half, three hours.
Yeah, it's point six.
So a kilometer is point six of the month.
I got you. I got you. you got you. All right. Well
Big Dan you ready for a little least fun most fun. I guess we could do that. Awesome. I hit you with one here. So oh
We did we get your supporting membership number. Did I miss that?
351 on 351. Okay. Okay. I must have clicked that off
I'm sick. Okay, so least fun most fun
Relatively new game we have here and we give big Dan a you know a
simple little topic and he's gonna kind of use his druthers and go in depth as much as he wants to or as little as
He wants to of this essentially the least fun thing about it and the most fun thing about it. So big Daniel
Being a new homeowner. Oh
about it so big Daniel being a new homeowner oh I believe you uh the house purchased a house approximately a year ago so that first actually tomorrow
tomorrow is the one the one anniversary the one year anniversary from your from
your funeral yeah it's certainly feeling like a tomb so least fun, most fun. Least fun? Oh, Lee. Having so many projects, not necessarily doing the
projects, but having so many projects, and those projects having projects that
have projects for them is kind of just getting everything lined up is kind of
is kind of just getting everything lined up is kind of difficult.
Like I remodeled my floor in the basement
and having to do like polish first and then leveling sand,
waiting 24 hours for the leveling sand to actually dry
before you start to attempt to put the floor in
and then putting the floor in.
And then that takes forever.
Stuff gets chipped and it just, it takes a long time. But after you get done, then it's
the good part of the whole, Oh yeah, I actually did this with my own two hands by myself.
Like I didn't need anybody else to help me with this. This is mine. I made this. It's
super, super awesome to actually get that yeah yeah but that's the
you actually have to pay for it that's another least least favorite at least if you're doing
it yourself it's saved a little bit yeah and then you're building home equity and all that stuff but
oh yeah I like seeing the results right now but these are going to be results for later in my life
and then uh would you say that if what yeah what stands out as the most fun hers is just
most fun is just yeah.
Or just like having a place for myself where I can just sit in my backyard and do
whatever I want without having people.
Like an apartment look in or all that stuff.
Like I actually have my own space, which is just really nice.
And I have a place to park my car in a garage.
Like I don't need much in life.
Like I just want to park my car in a garage and sit outside
just experience life.
Tan your butthole.
Nothing wrong with that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That was bad timing of my statement.
Jesus Christ.
I was like, oh, you set me up for that, I think. Nice.
So is there a home gym in that home you have?
Not yet. That's, I got to get equipment and everything, but no, I'm thinking about doing
actually like a garage in my backyard and like pouring the foundation, then like getting
the eight by 10 or something.
Just raise that up, go out there in the winter, have a heater in their air conditioner for
the summer and just let her rip.
That's right.
Shed.
Yeah, exactly.
Yep.
Yep.
Yep.
Yep.
Where are you working out now?
Right now I'm at Edgar's house of pain over in Fargo.
Oh, a bunch of strong men. You have to work out.
Woof.
Yeah. Well, Fargo is like we're sister cities.
Hmm. So like we're basically connected.
So it's just a 15 minute drive for me.
That's not bad.
But yeah, it's a bunch of stones and powerlifting stuff.
Got the Hussfeld stone, just a bunch of big guys,
strong men, everything you could really ask for
are a little bit tight of the spot, but it's great.
It's my favorite place to train ever.
Nice, and what do you consider yourself,
more of a powerlifter or a strong man,
or you like dabbling in both?
Ah, more powerlifting right now.
I like getting everything perfectly before trying to start something new
Good deal good deal
Is there a story about you stopping over at Tanner's house that we can lift hard live easy on a Thursday?
Yes, I would wanting to say that or for Thursday night or before Thursday
I maybe I think it might be a typo in how he sent it,
but basically just tell me the story you're thinking of.
So I may have accidentally followed him home,
is the one you're thinking of.
That's great.
Yeah, so I just got done taking pictures
at the legendary Street School Plate
billboard along with the Lyftard Easy billboard. And I lift hard easy billboard and I was
driving on a street and I'm stopped at a stop sign and I see a big red Ford F-150
I was like there's not a lot of people I know that order red Ford 150 in
Aberdeen South Dakota and sure enough he pulls out and has a trailer and I'm like
oh that's kind of odd too maybe I I should, maybe just tail this guy,
see what's going on.
I did not know that he was going to his house
and he pulled over and then I pulled over
and I was kind of scared
because I'd never met these guys before
and I was just like, should I like?
What night was it?
Because that guy, so I just tried to interrupt, so was this, give me? What night was it? Because I guess I just tried to interrupt.
Like, so was this what?
Give me the little bit of the setup, I guess.
What what was this Thursday afternoon?
OK, so this would have been before founders.
I got you. OK, OK. Cool, cool.
Yeah, so I.
Popped out, talked to Tanner, he was super.
He was super He was
What's the word?
He was super cool about everything we started chatting and
I did a little quick overrated underrated with him and Tanner
Tanner and Tommy Tommy was there too. Oh man, we uh, yeah
Yeah, that's the story he set me up with. Yeah, that's great. That would have been funny to be flying the wall for that flick that like so you pulled
up behind them all stalkerish kind of not really, but you know what I mean?
And then like you just get out like wave.
Yeah.
Well, when he parked, I drove by and waved and then he I think he kind of waved to and
then I was like, okay, maybe it's okay right now.
I don't want to I know they're super busy right now, but I don't wanna distract him or anything.
I didn't want him to get mad at me for ruining his day.
I don't think Tanner's ever been mad at anybody,
so I think you're good.
Yeah, well yeah.
And I can imagine that weekend,
like leading up to that, they kind of figured
we're all sulking around somewhere in Aberdeen
at some point.
That's just really funny. That is a good story.
So go ahead. So you're you're heading to Crew Falls.
You excited for that?
I am. It's been a while since I've been.
It's been a while.
It's been a while since I've been to Crew Falls.
Been a while.
So how far is Crew Falls from where you're in Minnesota?
That's another three and a half hours, three hours, 45 minutes. Yeah, kind of close enough
to every other big city kind of Winnipeg, Minneapolis.
Well that'll help once you, that'll, I mean, driving three hours for gym equipment would
be a little shitty, but like once you buckle down and say hey, it's gym equipment time
If you are I mean if if if a thousand dollar piece of equipment comes up for 500 that might be worth the six hour
round trip, but you know kind of depends
So are you staying in the fraternity house there in crew falls with all the other meatheads?
Are you in the Airbnb with everybody?
Sure, I might believe it's
C-PAPI C-PAP happy Are you in the Airbnb with everybody? Sure, I might believe it's what is it? See happy see half happy
good old Mathias
Good old blue eyes told me one Kenobi. Oh, yeah, then bile. It's better bile
That's a thing I
Think I'm mad mad mad. Yeah. Yeah, he's gonna put it all together I believe and
That'll be that'll be you guys. I'll have some shenanigans there, but I sure hope so but uh and
Again, so just be fighting over the shower. I'm not gonna be honest
Not gonna lie to you. It's just gonna be everybody fighting over who gets to shower in the morning
It's really only one shower and six dudes? That sounds horrible.
I shower together. I hope there's two baths. Oh gross.
Um, so in the discord there,
you were kind of bragging about how awesome you're going to do it.
This grip challenge here in Tommy's garage. Is there, uh,
you just, you a big grip guy or is that just, you know, eluding to?
You, I've been using my grip for a very long time, so I think I'd be very suited for the
challenge.
What am I saying?
You'd be hard to beat?
Oh, very hard to beat.
Is he beating me off?
Would he be impossible?
Is he cranking the log in the basement too?
Big Kevin over there.
That's good stuff.
Yep.
All right. Big Kevin over there. That's good stuff. Yep.
All right.
So, uh, can I tell you what you'd really want to talk about how much you love the Vikings?
Is that like a real thing?
Really?
That's a yeah, I do love the Vikings.
It came up like four times.
Oh, no.
Yeah, I am pretty big Vikings fan.
They're my home team.
So I always try to show love when I can
That's the only fan chain. I don't have that. I want is a is a Minnesota. I've got the Buffalo
I've got the Toronto Blue Jays the Hamilton Tigercats
Like I've got all of the surrounding ones, but I was like I want a Minnesota one. So it's just the culture
I love going to the stadium and doing the school class.
It's just such a fun environment. It's just, it's harder to sit down and watch a football game there.
You have to be standing up, especially when the team's playing good, which is
kind of what we've been waiting for all these years, knowing I was at the
Buffalo game, the big one where they came back in the last like one minute.
That was, yeah, that was two years ago today. I think yesterday.
Yeah, it was definitely, I was at that game and I left, I don't know if I told
you that story. I left that game cause it was here in Buffalo.
Cause they said you have to be back at the bus at a certain time.
And I was like, well, Buffalo is demolishing Minnesota.
So I had time and then I get back and they hold up the phone and they're like,
look, what just happened?
And Minnesota just demolished them in one minute.
I remember watching that game.
I was at, I was actually at work and we were out in the garden center kind of just on our
phones on forklifts, just watching the games.
And since we were outside, no one else was, it's, it was snow on the ground and everything.
So it was perfect for us.
We could just hide and watch the game.
And then we started cheering and yelling and screaming when we finally won.
Speaking of work, I hear you have a very crew resonating job.
Do you want to tell us where you work?
I am a JD Power a winning team member at my
arms right now hey how about that yeah yep what kind of forklift you driving
you a three-wheeled or a hog oh we got a big old propane and we got
electrics inside so yeah three and fours nice I said if I'd forklift driver, I miss driving a 400%
Now does your does your name tag say Danny boy or Dano?
No, it's just Daniel.
Yep. So you don't you don't you don't like being called Dan
either. It's it's only Daniel.
Daniel is what I was given when I was born. So that's usually what I've been going with.
But yeah, a lot of people love stretching the limits
of how far they can push me with what they wanna call me.
And I am normally a pretty passive person,
but when people call me Danny boy or Danny,
it's like even my family members do it.
And it's just like, oh, I really want to do something,
but it wouldn't be good to do in front of mom right now.
All right. Note to self, because I said Dan a bunch of times when you were trying to log in.
I usually like, if you don't know me, like, I get it. Like, yeah, I'm trying to shorten my name,
but yeah, it's whatever.
Does Dan the man come up a lot? I imagine that would infuriate me.
It's a manual.
Yeah, I mean, you know,
oh, man, I think I'm everything.
Dan, it will be not Daniel with the white bands came out.
That was a nightmare.
Oh, yeah, I can imagine.
First year of college and oh, boy, I did not.
Was not ready for that one.
No, God, no. Chris Dan and Jer, can we call you Chris Dan and Jer?
Oh, that's a good one.
Oh, I'm tired. All right.
OK, smoking pot and making bad decisions, a hobby.
I don't know, Daniel, is smoking pot and making bad decisions a hobby?
I mean, I'm pretty good at it.
So yeah, I'd say so.
Is it a skill or a hobby?
Could be both.
So it looks like you started lifting in high school, right?
And then I was asked to ask you about asking about AC.
Is there a story there?
AC. No, that's just our strength trainer back at the high school.
So he was the one that taught me how to lift
and he did a very good job.
And it actually was the catalyst that made me go to Eggers
cause that's where he works out.
And I was like, well, if I can lift with my
high school mentor, then I think I'd be in a very great place to come out ahead
in the future.
Do you mind if I ask, for some reason, I can't really put an age on you or I can't tell if
you're 25 or 35, Dan.
Daniel?
I'm 27.
27, okay, yep.
And you're just taking David.
Yeah, I've been told I look very old for age
seasoned, seasoned or wise. We'll call it that. Uh, so is that maybe, uh, related to drinking too much at the family function?
You gotta be more specific on which one, but I have, I used to be able to drink a lot of alcohol and not feel hung over.
So I kind of thought that was my superpower at a young age.
Um, I recently realized that's probably not the best way to live my life.
So luckily all that stuff's behind me now, but yeah, I've been known to drink a couple too
many margaritas and maybe pass out a couple of times.
One I remember, but yeah, it has been a thing that's happened.
So when you got the barber chair tattoo.
Yes.
Tell me about that.
Was that alcohol?
Like that's why.
No, so that is actually, uh, this is my grandpa's
Arbor chair. This is where I got all my haircuts. When I was growing up, my grandpa had a, yeah,
my grandpa had a barber chair in his basement and we just go over to grandma and grandpa's
and get a haircut. And I always liked mine short and tight. And I kind of just when he passed away I wanted to get a memorial of them and it
was no it was a very quick decision it was actually getting the picture of the barber
chair was the hardest part but I got it and I the tattoo artist knocked it out of the
park and I love it so much I still don't know give my I give myself haircuts I don't even
go to the barber. I've
actually never paid for a haircut before. Good for you. And that every time I'm paid for a haircut
in the last 20 years, I've literally just cut my hair like three days later because I got so pissed
off how bad a haircut it was. So yeah, I got the Mastronomix.
Mastronomix one in my back.
I got the Hollywood undead,
Dove and Grenade, my grandpa's barber chair.
I got a skull and crossbones,
the Ring Me the Horizon.
And then I got to let's see.
Bear tooth.
And then I got a black sheep is the newest one.
And then Space Ranger below that one.
I like the black sheep for the black.
Yeah, like black sheep of the family, right?
And it's good stuff.
Yeah, it's more of a mindset of what's the point of being normal.
If you can be different. But yeah, I see a family, too. more of a mindset of what's the point of being normal if you can be different
But yeah, I'm actually my family too. What was the the massonomic tattoo on the back? What's the logo or which would you go?
Well, I know this one. I know this one. I think I'm pretty sure I saw it at crew falls. Are you told?
Easy I was just
It's this so for those that obviously can't see because we don't do this on yeah, so it's the
The fuck was that, Joey?
I might have just smashed my entire desk. So it is the skull holding the barbell.
Gosh. From I think the gym T.
Yeah. So there's I believe I got that one right before the left
part of the VZ classic one because I couldn't go because I had to work.
So I think work. Ah,
so I think my
strikes again.
Yeah.
Oh,
you gave your PTO off requests a bit of now for next July.
We already know the next,
we already know the date.
So yeah, I'll be putting that in pretty soon.
Once I get a spot,
definitely going to be,
Oh yeah.
Our lifted event.
So here's the thing. You have a Beartooth tattoo.
I do. Beartooth is one of those bands that's based on the name I really want to love.
Yeah. And I was like, that's such a hardcore awesome name. But then they turned out to
be a little more of the emo screamo side that I
thought I was getting with an badass name like Beartooth. And now I have a buddy that's toured
with them and he was like, no, they are hard and they are heavy, nice guys. So like I obviously,
I gave them a chance. So this is the part of the podcast where we kind of ignore Keith for a few
minutes because let's talk about, let's talk about metal bands.
What's the last concert you went to?
Actually last concert would have been Beartooth when I met them VIP out of
in March 5th or at the sanctuary center.
Yeah.
I love Beartooth.
I think that was my third or fourth.
That would have been my fourth time seeing them.
They always put on a great show.
And the reason why I love them is because,
I mean, they're from Columbus, Ohio.
So they kind of know what the Midwest is about.
And they, when they first came over here,
they just said that we were an amazing crowd
and they talk about us on tour.
And then they came back a second time and they're like,
Oh my gosh, you guys are still like, super great with all your energy and all that stuff. And they
just really know how to like, give back and like make the music feel like it. Music should feel.
They're just real funky and just like they don't, they're in your face, funky and just having
a great time. Like I love being in the mosh pits and just going around and just slamming
into people and just, I wouldn't want to be across from you in a mosh pit. I'll tell you
that. No. Yeah. Well, so the thing is though, like I have zero cardio, so I'm usually on
the edge pushing people in. Yeah. But every once in a while I'll go in for a song, the verse, because I,
you use a lot of cardio when you're in that mod fit.
Have you heard the new, um, Counterparts EP?
I believe I have.
Yeah. Um, so my, my one buddy is the singer's brother, because he's from my hometown.
And he was just like, you got to hear this.
They're done dealing with anything.
They just want to write heavy music.
And I listened to that.
And then I was like, it's has such Dillinger escape plan overtones to it.
Cause I don't know if you know, the singer from counterparts also has a band called
the end with the drummer from Dillinger.
And they must've just like, I don't know what they did on this album.
It is pure math, metal, heavy.
It's incredible. Yeah, big math.
But it was awesome.
And it's like I think it was like 20 minutes long, the entire EP.
And it was just heavy riffs and breakdowns from start to finish.
Oh, it's heavy riffs and just those are just my favorite things in all metal. Like,
did you just get in that groove of just, I have to do this right now if it's your lift and you just
get in that groove and you rip up the barbell and it's just, man, a good riff is good.
Do you get into deathcore at all?
good riff is good. Do you get into deathcore at all? I like to say I love all metal. Like there's going to be songs I'm not going to listen to, but there are a lot of songs that
I do listen to that kind of aren't necessarily the same song to song. So I kind of have like,
I know a lot of metal history and I know like all the bands I should like, but necessarily don't like. But like, I kind of just
stick to like, what, what do I think is good? And I don't really care about like what the metal
alias would say. That's gatekeepers. I have no patience for them. So yeah. So today I was in,
I was doing an RPp10 max attempt and
I'm tired. I worked like 60 hours this week. I don't I didn't want to be in the gym, but I was like no It's it's my deadlift attempt. I'm going to do it no matter what happens. Okay, so juggernaut says you're gonna do 395 for two
That's your that's your projected to rep
max 10 and
I was like I'm not loading all those fucking change
plates. I'm going to go to 405. And if I go, I go if I don't, I don't write like
throw some dirt on me. I had a good run. So as I'm loading the plates, I'm
listening to Lorna Shore. Okay. As heavy. Oh, I'm so amped. I'm so excited.
Yeah. And then I go to reach for the bar and the song
changes to hose ears in a week, which is my wife and I like weddings. But at this point,
I'm chalked up and ready to go. Like, I'm like, I guess I'm lifting to this fucking song on a
ukulele. I got it, I got the lift,
but if you watch the video I put on Instagram,
you can kind of see my face go,
okay, this is what we're doing right now.
All right, yeah.
I have more metal talk.
Obviously I could go all day with metal talk.
I learned this very recently.
I was saying to Jess before we started recording,
wrestling, kung fu movies and metal
history are apparently the things I could go off about for hours. Oh yeah. Yeah. We'll get into
some wrestling of course. And that's the other time we'll kick Keith and go have a break buddy.
All right. That's enough metal talk for now. I want to hear. I want to hear about the slip and slide.
The chocolate melts with the slide.
I just wait. Are there more than one slip and slide stories?
No, there's only one I know about.
So my mom, bless her heart, is a great woman. And if she had, if anyone else had boys like us,
I don't think they would have made it.
But my mom was studying for nursing school at the time.
We, my brother, my younger brother and I were both.
So I was about four, I'd say, maybe three.
And he was about two, or three maybe two and we
were bored because it's the early 2000s there's not a whole lot going on with
everything we don't have cell phones so we have to make our own our own fun we
had a Elmo playpad with alphabet teaching us very important
letters that will be used every day for the rest of our lives. And one of us,
me had an idea that, um, chocolate milk should go on that and we can make a
slipping slide inside our house. Because what Because what else are you going to do in Fargo, North Dakota?
So we had a carpeted floors in the living room.
Not much longer after that.
But yeah, there was a very large chocolate milk stain
and a very angry mother after she found out what we were doing downstairs while she was studying.
And now that you're a homeowner, do you look back and go,
God damn, I've ruined someone's house.
Oh, yeah, it's an everyday occurrence, but the way I was.
It's like, oh, I can't even did that. Yeah.
Yeah, I don't think I I don't think I should have survived my childhood.
I feel the way I treated it.
The one time we were at my buddy's cottage, we used to all go out there.
And it's funny because they've got this.
They were one of the first cottages in the area.
So their cottage is old and wood.
And then you have all these expensive cottages around
because they're on this lake
And it's just this
surrounded in like little RVs
And we're going on the way out there and we stop I think at a target or a Zellers
Zellers is an old Canadian brand
and
We found a $10 slip and slide
And it's 10 feet long
But we are all 25 to 30 year old adults who
are five feet to seven feet tall. And that did not stop us. So we filled that thing with
dish soap and water. When after it. Oh, Daniel, I hit the end of that thing, kept sliding through the gravel and the mud.
So by the end of it, we're all just comparing scars and we've just all got like gravel
and dirt and blood dripping from our chests and arms.
And that's why they say don't try jackass at home.
Trust me.
Yeah, that's probably not a good idea.
So living out there where you do, have you had a chance to train or hang out with any crew I know in big Dave over there in Fargo?
Yeah.
I actually, I haven't met any of the crew over here.
I guess I kind of just keep to myself usually, but, uh, yeah, I met big Dave
at the, uh, at the lift hardly easy to and he
seemed cool yeah I guess I did I knew there's people over here I guess I didn't
really met them at all is this been over there my way off I can't remember I
thought Ben was near for him I might be off he's South Dakota okay yeah I'm not
big map big maps over here but have you know have you been to the barefoot South Dakota. Oh, OK. Yeah, I'm not big.
Big maps over here. But have you ever have you been to the Barefoot Warehouse?
I have not, but I do have shoes.
Yeah, that's that's a good one.
Give them a message and be like, hey, I'm crew.
Can I come over and see what they say?
Actually, that's a really good idea.
Yeah, I know there's nothing there, but there's apparently some historical pair
of shoes there.
Yeah, that you might just get.
And there's your chance for a picture before crew falls.
Exactly. Get it with Shelby and Ryan.
So why can't you keep your car clean?
And I'm going to tell you right now, neither can I.
Oh, my car's fucking my car is embarrassing.
Yeah, well.
I don't like me. I mean, that's basically it.
Like, that's just, it's my car.
What are you going to do about it?
I drive it.
I drive it every day.
I don't usually have passengers.
So when I do have passengers, yeah, sure.
Maybe I have to get a trash bag and clean out the front of my car, but that's
because I never, I never have passengers. So why do I need to clean out the front of my car. But that's because I never I never have passengers.
So why do I need to clean out the front of my car?
Is the front of your car dirty or in the back?
Both, but
I mean, yeah, it's
it's a work in progress like life.
But yeah, I guess it just don't
like doing it.
And I will sometimes. And then it just gets dirty again. So what's the point?
I agree. I pile the passenger seat floor with shit.
And because my kids sit in the back, I don't have anything back there because they'll grab
it and throw it out the window while we're driving. But now that my wife is starting to drive and I've
had to sit in the passenger seat, I've become more aware of how obnoxious it is
There I'm just like what the fuck is oh, it's my fault. Yep. I'm optimistic that I'll keep my next car clean
But this one it's just I don't know. It's my it's my work hard
I did a little it's it's such a like shit's falling apart on it
The back hatch doesn't even lock anymore like it's it's got some issues
So it's hard to take I have pride in the fact that it still runs but i don't necessarily go i need to
like like i haven't cleaned the inside of it maybe i maybe shop vac it once for two years it's about
it okay i think it's time for some fmk yep i got uh so dan i got daniel god damn it stop the fact
if you hadn't said anything i probably would have called you Daniel and I know I know
Alright so big tea I could I can I almost want to do both but I'll give you the choice
so
Vikings or country music
for a topic
Fnk I want to see what you have for the Vikings. Alright, so fuck Mary kill you're obviously familiar
It's a relatively new game that we came up with all by ourselves,
completely original.
So fuck Mary, kill, pick your three.
Um, Randy Moss, Chris Carter, Dante Culpepper, maybe a little bit before
your time, but you probably were.
I even I was very young.
I know that he's also, he's like 15 years younger than us.
So yeah.
So I think if you really wanted to get me, it probably would have been Adrian Peterson.
Well, that's not the only throw it.
Yeah, I know.
So we can we can if if you're not overly familiar, then we'll just go country then.
No. So let's do the else country, I guess.
All right. So fuck.
Fuck. Mary, kill Tim McGraw Toby Keith Alan Jackson
Kill would it be in would it be in bad taste if I killed?
So be Keith right away. No, he's already dead. It's fine. No way, okay
I was I was almost gonna leave him out and trade him with like with with with the
George straight, but I was like I it's it there those Those are like those were I mean, I was told that like late 90s.
So these were these guys were pretty huge in the late 90s.
So okay, Tim McGraw, we don't say.
Tell me who would be a better fuck.
I mean, golly, who would be a better fuck?
That will not be the episode title as much as Nate wants it to be because I'm not putting
that on Facebook for my mother to see.
Sorry I'm going to mute myself that killed me.
That was really good.
Your fucking accent is in clutch.
Oh yeah.
Oh yeah.
Who would I want to fuck a little more.
Well, you know, I got to say
probably marry.
Be marrying Alan Jackson.
OK.
And then.
I probably have to fuck.
That's a tough one. It is a really hard one for me to even if I had to go for it
I'm gonna go
fuck
Tim McGraw
Kill and kill Toby. He's yeah. Yeah, it's a very that's a tough one
Because Toby had some really good bangers, but then he also had like, well, they all had their sellout shitty songs.
Yeah, like aren't good.
But they also all have like 10 songs from like the earlier 90s, probably that are just fucking great.
So it's just a matter of like, do you rate them on how amazing they were at their peak to you?
Because other people might say their fucking sellout country was their peak, which I don't know.
But like, I feel like I peak which I don't know but like I feel like they could
But I know it's not my place, but if I had to answer I think I as much as I love Alan Jackson
I'd probably kill Alan Jackson. I probably that's not a good time. I don't yeah
Yeah, that's not a good time at all, but I think I'd have to cuz like Toby like Toby Keith to me. I
Think I'd have to marry Toby and fuck Tim. Yeah. And I love Alan Jackson.
So, but that's a, that is a hard one.
So I'm glad you, I'm glad you also struggled with that one.
And I couldn't pick Vikings players from your era because I don't think I, I don't think
they had a good enough.
You barely picked country stars from his era.
He's 27.
No, it was zero in the nineties.
The damn, the show notes put underrated things as 90, you know, late nineties.
So late nineties to early 2010s, which these guys were probably on the very end
of that in the nineties, but I don't, I couldn't name you country singers from
the 2010s, so it is what it is.
What do you got for Rushmore?
Ooh, let's go FMK.
Hold on.
Are you another one?
Yeah.
Garth Brooks, Reba McIntyre, Tricia Yearwood.
Oh, boy.
That's a little home.
And you can do the slap,
pickle, tickle or whatever version you're more comfortable with that.
Wasn't that what fucking last week's guest was drinking?
It was the IPA name.
Yeah, so actually, you know, pickled George St.
Reba and.
So Reba, Trisha Garth Brooks.
Ali, what's the official year would have?
I well, she married Garth Brooks, so that's pretty much her claim.
Oh, yeah.
But she does have some decent songs.
Yeah, she does. Probably... I'm gonna have to kill Trisha, marry Garth, and then fuck Reba.
I would marry Reba, fuck her. Fancy is just too... Fancy is too much of a name. Yeah Fancy is.
Like oh geez. That song comes on and I'm just like in tears driving. Yeah
Very very emotional songs who does Reba? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, Reba and Garth both do but like when you've to me when I measure them out
I
Miss music I miss music videos
I know it's like I miss watching like CMT music videos and actually being like the one like good ones actually hit like
Like the Reba McIntyre the one where she has fucking cancer or something and yeah
Like there's so many good not that like I probably should have done Shania instead of Garth. Yeah
I should have kept that but I mean
We are not professionals
Yeah, it's just funny because it's one of those in the notes that. But I mean, we are not professionals.
Yeah, it's just funny because it's one of those in the notes. It says like, I'd like to hear him talk about country music because he has a cowboy hat tattoo.
But oh, yeah, but I've never heard him listen to country music is what once somebody put it.
If he hasn't, he's just he's just he's bullshitting us.
Yeah. Do you ever listen to Rebel Meets Rebel?
Never heard that one.
So that is the guys from Pantera.
With David Allen co-singing.
Hmm, weird.
Oh, it's it's a 50% banger.
That album is heavy metal with David Allen co-singing.
And then there's some really shitty songs.
There's some really shitty songs on that album, but like the ones that are good are bangers.
So I'm going to go with Mount Rushmore.
And obviously I'm going to go with...
What should I do? Let's go Ruthless Aggression Era wrestlers.
Ruthless Aggress- oh.
Yeah, no, that one's a hard one.
But wrestling came up so often that I was like, if anybody's going to be able to do this, it's going to be him. Routeless, the growl. Yeah, I know that one's a hard one.
But wrestling came up so often that I was like, if anybody's going to be able to do this, it's going to be him.
Okay. So this is prime time game. This is a great question.
So you definitely have to have Brock Lesnar.
Correct.
You definitely have to have
Kurt Agel. Really? OK.
I think so. I think so.
I'm just surprised you put him
before anybody else.
No, I just I like wrestling,
like MMA and stuff, too.
So I really was drawn to his
style of wrestling.
And then you got to go
Randy Orton because he's just good.
Okay. And okay. Um, then ruthless aggression. And you got to go, do you start with the guy
that started with this aggression? John Cena? Yeah, you almost have to. He's still,
yeah, he's still the goaded, right? Because with Randy Orton, was he in Ruthless Aggression? Yes. He's a little bit before well
He was he was before but about the time evolution came in right and evolution was not attitude era evolution was
Yep, that kind of mid in between it is a little bit before Randy's time
Then I think no because in Randy Orton at his best
I actually would argue Randy Orton at his best, I actually would argue Randy Orton at
his best was the PG era.
Because yes, yes, I agree with you.
Randy Orton is a ballerina.
And I've always said if you want to learn how to wrestle, you watch Randy.
Yes.
He's just so everything he does is so calculated.
He does not miss a step. And he like he will put, he can put anyone over.
He can do anything with any opponent and he can make you feel like this is the
match that you need to watch.
Yeah.
He was a bit of a Neppo baby coming in.
So everybody kind of like like who poot on him
if you if you like just watch his dropkick alone Jesus like
Easily one of the best of all time. I would I
Would have made arguments for Chris Jericho
Yes, I can see that. Yep. Yep, no matter what he's doing now or whatever weirdness he's on at the moment
But I definitely might have made a good argument for him because I think the y2j era and
Of course, I have to go remember that. Yep. Yeah
That was there was that was such good TV every time he was on because it was like it looks like a
Six month build-up and like yeah, we're like, what does this mean? Yeah, what was the countdown? I
That was like the last time I really watched wrestling was that because that would
have been like high like freshman year high school and like I really watched it past like
that ish era in my life. And I recently went on a Taz kick I started watching all of the Taz.
Yeah Taz is also one of my he's one of my favorites. One of my favorites. Yep. Thank you.
Thank you. Yes.
Yeah.
Are you aware that he had a, uh, he had his own radio show?
Yes.
Yes.
I never got to listen to it.
No, I never got to listen to it.
I'm still not a podcast guy, but now I want to go back and listen to it.
Also like, I don't know how interested in him as a person I am.
Yeah, I get that.
But him as a wrestler, like he
invented the tap out like before him. There was no tapping out in wrestling. You had to
say I quit or get knocked out. And because the Taz mission was so brutal that you couldn't
talk. So they sold it, right? I don't know if that's the work or not, but you had to
tap out. That's all you could do was tap his arm to get out of the hold. He invented that. He brought that in.
And the just like the Bam Bam Bigelow matches, I was watching this like the greatest Taz stuff and they glossed over the Bam Bam Bigelow stuff and I'm like, you can't gloss over that. He dead lifted Bam Bam Bigelow.
Bam Bam didelow.
Bam Bam did not want to take that suplex through the table.
And Taz was like, you're going to fucking take this suplex.
Taz is five foot six.
Yeah, he's not a very big man.
Bam Bam Bigelow is six feet tall and had a hundred pounds on Taz and Taz was like,
then I'm just going to suplex you and threw the man over his head
without him jumping or giving into the move. Like that's wild. And I always get dirty looks.
And I'm like, no, Taz is one of the greatest of all times. He started that, that MMA gimmick.
I think it was you that made the reference in the, yep, that would be in the discord. Yeah.
And you were like, uh, when, if you can't survive, if I let you, and I was like, I know that I threw that in just for you. Yes. He's, I will always go to bat for Taz. Any chance I get.
No, Taz is one of those guys, right? Don't know why, but I just love him. Like it's just odd that you're a five foot six and you're suplexing people and
making it look like they break their neck and just all around beefcake.
He was jacked.
He was, he was five foot six tall and five foot six wide.
Like he was every five, six of that frame.
Yeah.
And he was just so big and so strong.
And his gimmick was so before he got to
WWE because they, they have no, yeah, they kind of, yeah. Well, I guess he had some points that
something stupid, like nobody's allowed to suplex, but me. And they were like, Hmm, you can't really
do that here in WWE. I think that that kind of built his career there, but like that initial
bout that he had with Kurt Angle, those two
should have been some of the biggest rivalries we ever saw.
Yeah. Yeah. Along with like how many matches did he have with Brock Lesnar? The lesson
a lot, was it? No, I actually, I couldn't even name one to be honest.
I think they only had like maybe one. And then I can tell you that's ridiculous considering honestly,
if all the crimes that WWE had,
I think that one has to be highly up there.
Oh, OK. Um, next big crime WWE had.
Putting sting against Triple H at WrestleMania and not the Undertaker.
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's any wrestling fan right now.
Why was just like, oh, so bad. Yeah. Yeah. No, that was a huge,
but I think our taker was on his way out at that point anyway,
because who did undertake her face at that one? It was like, what year was that?
Ah, it was right after COVID. So probably 2022 because they went to Florida.
Oh, that's kind of right when I went out.
Yeah.
Um, I, yeah, probably to kind of, I couldn't get it with all the fans not be in there.
So I TV screens.
Yeah.
No, I think, I think I undertake a wrestle, like a crush match.
So it was after the AJ Styles match then that might have have been the AJ Styles match to be honest with you.
Okay.
Because he had the one with the Fiend and I did not like that one.
The, was it the House of Horrors match?
No, that was John Cena and the Fiend.
Okay.
The Undertaker face, the new face of fear Bray Wyatt, which I still have that shirt.
I have that over there with the lamb on it.
I fought for that shirt for years.
Like that was one of those ones where like I went to eBay and I was like,
I'll pay you no matter how much because I wanted that shirt so bad.
So that no, that was that was the John Cena one with the fiend,
which John Cena wrote.
I don't know if you knew that.
Oh, I did not know that.
Yeah, that was apparently all John Cena.
And it was like, what if I could reset my career?
And that's when the Fiend resetting people's career really kicked off, right?
That's how he reset Finn Balor, he reset AJ Styles, he reset all of those people that
he fought because he brought in that like, I'm going to tear you down to bring you back
to the best version of yourself. I honestly I could probably do a whole episode on the fiend and talk about everything that he
did that was like mental health related and wrestling related and long-term storytelling.
I should probably somebody somebody out there the wrestling podcast get me on.
We have a little serious goose topic here if you want to talk about that at all Daniel
your health issues you've been battling here for a minute I think you've you've posted
a couple times you were in and out of the hospital in the emergency room so anything
you want to update us with or anything you want the crew to know about that?
Yeah so the first week of October I went went to the ER, um, a little bit later, I was diagnosed
with autoimmune hepatitis.
Um, so basically my liver would attack by my immune system without me telling it to.
So, um, I got pretty sick.
Um, I'm on steroids right now. So ideally, we're trying to
get the whatever's happening into remission. And then
eventually, I'll just be taking their medication. And then I
will eventually be off of that. And then it's going to be like
an 18 month process for that. But yeah, it's been kind of difficult
with losing a lot of my strength.
I think I can't even lift a thousand pounds anymore.
Like it's, I did 225 at the gym for about three reps
and about two or three months ago, I was doing 300 for four.
So it's kind of been a toll,
but I'm going to use the
Littred Live Easy Classic 3 and I'm going to be 275 and I'm
going to put up about the same numbers so I am going to use
this as something to push me forward to actually lose that
weight that I've been needing to lose. I'm actually down 25
pounds in about 5 weeks. It's awesome. So it's well yeah but uh
losing it that quick I don't think is yeah true yes but yeah no I get where you come from but
it's a good it's a good kick start. Definitely is so once the muscle comes back in I think I'm just
going to be better than ever but that's just kind of what I'm going through right now it's not a
it's going to be better than ever, but that's just kind of what I'm going through right now. It's not a forever thing right now. So hopefully I just got to kick ass again. And then it's just
what's happening right now and it's going to be over soon. Well, you got all our support and,
you know, our best wishes for you and hopefully that all gets sorted out and, you know, ends up
being something you can kind of manage rather than, you know,
have to struggle.
No, I guess the worst part is though, I can't drink beer anymore or alcohol
because yeah, I mean, yeah, so that's not the worst thing, I guess.
No, it's not.
No, I love water.
Water is my favorite drink.
So it's not the worst thing in the world.
It's just knowing I can't like have a beer with a burger every once in a while.
That's kind of just hurting. But yeah, other than that, like it's
we're going to be OK.
Well, crew crew falls definitely be a test, but I'm assuming the no alcohol is for
health, so you can't really just say, fuck it.
No, yeah, like I will. Yeah.
If we show it, so if any of us So you can't really just say fuck. No. Yeah, like I will. Yeah
So if any of us see big Daniel they're drinking a beer at
Lister at a crew falls we have the right to come up and just smack across the face and tell you what the fuck You're doing something like that. I
Mean, I would say the alternative
Yeah, I think the alternative
Somebody will ask why you're not drinking and then I will be in their way.
That'll be one of those like you do not pressure him.
No, I think I'm five foot frame in the way of just like you leave him alone.
I think it's good that it happened right now because with the rise of THC drinks, like I'm very pro THC.
So, I mean, that's still fine.
I mean, sure, they're nine dollars a can, but it's still a funny one.
Exactly. Here's two fifty a can.
So you need four or five to get the feeling. So.
Yeah, you are the bar cell.
I mean, I know you take one in or whatever, but I didn't know like what the legality of that is.
You're shocked. Yeah.
Minnesota, you can.
I don't know if North Dakota can, but
find out in a couple of weeks.
One way to find out.
We'll probably get into unpaid underrated here in a second.
I just there was one last thing about
something about you being a high school basketball champion specifically.
Yeah.
League is that what am I? What am I missing there? What's the story?
So I wanted to get a girlfriend.
So I thought, what is the best way to win her heart than be the film manager for our high school basketball team?
That makes sense. And our team was the Shanley dynasty.
We only lost two games in the two games in the two years I was there.
And it was a low game pretty much every single time when the 35 to 70,
obviously, because of my amazing work.
Yeah, exactly.
And so, yeah, that's how I ended up getting two class
a champions and North Dakota women's baseball basketball well that's awesome
one thing I'll my little picky nit with that is so you've got all this
experience running a camera but you can't post Instagram you can't you can't
throw up a an Instagram story for the crew to see
No, I guess I just I never
Maybe I will once I get a couple more followers. Oh
I'll start posting more you're guaranteed to get a three I say out of this podcast. We'll get you three new followers
I try I I think I forgot because I remember you telling me in the past you were weren't really active on Instagram
but then I think I took that as you didn't have an Instagram and then I realized you did and
I knew that as soon as I saw it but it was I don't think I actually tagged you any of the stuff leading up to
This so I'll make sure I tag in I do a collab post next week
So is this one of those rare occasions I follow the guest and you don't no I do
I definitely had I do I just he doesn't talk to me on Instagram
He only talks to me on discord
So like usually if anyone talks about discord, I assume they don't have Instagram because I have two or three people I talked to
exclusively on discord or text that don't have Instagram. So alright, uh
Unpaid or underrated relatively new game we came up with all by ourselves. No influence by anyone else. So
Quick little example here would be you know, if you think it's, uh,
overrated, we'll call it unpaid.
And if you think it's underrated, it's underrated.
So big Daniel canoles unpaid or underrated, specifically the one that you
had at the lift hard, live easy, I guess.
Oh, those, um, it was just, yeah, that was just yeah. Yep. That was with you. Yeah, big Jeff and big Chris. Yep. That was
It was all right. I guess I'll say underrated. I was underrated. I think it's probably a little bit.
The chicken parm wouldn't have been as good. Chicken chicken parm was horrible. So I guess I was fishing more for, so he ordered a cannoli for dinner because he had already
eaten and we were just like, oh cool, he's just going to eat a dessert because the only
cannoli I've ever been experienced with is like the dessert cannoli.
And they brought out this like huge calzone looking thing and I was like, huh.
And I think we talked about a little bit of dinner, but it was just still so it was the most confusing experience I've ever had at a
restaurant of like that's a cannoli I didn't understand it is that what you
thought you ordered when you ordered it no I knew what I already it was in the description so I
knew that was going in for that's just funny all right so that was a big Keith
wrong again sometimes there
Unpaid or underrated
15% off rebate sales at Menards
So it's not 15% anymore. It's 11%
11 so that that that that that just goes to date how old big Tanner is and how long it is since he's
The I think there's the 15% bag sale that could be.
Is it a bag or a bag?
Hey, it's a bag.
Just say it's so ambiguous. We can't actually understand which one you're saying.
No, but, um, let's see.
So it's 11% off of, or you get 11% back off your rebate or your receipt.
Um, I actually have a couple lined up right now.
I think I got like a hundred bucks worth of stuff.
I'm going to be getting, um, I'm going to go, even though it would be cheaper
just to have it be on sale rather than waiting six,
eight weeks to get your rebate back and having to fill out a form and having to
send in your receipts. I'm going to go underrated.
Gotcha. Wait. So as an employee, you don't,
you don't just get like an automatic 10% off shit or anything.
So I, so yeah, yep. I do. So I get the 11% to 11% is for everybody.
And then I get an additional 10%, but that comes out of my next paycheck.
Yeah. Out of your.
That's so Zonda.
Yeah, yeah, it's like they give it back.
I think you pay.
Oh, so like the the the price of whatever I purchased will come out of my paycheck.
Oh, so you don't actually pay with.
Yeah, exactly.
You pay if I buy a $500 refrigerator,
that $500 is coming out of that next paycheck.
That's weird.
Yeah, it's yeah.
And that's. Yeah, I don't know.
All right. Well, on let's see,
I'm going to do one more Menards here, So unpaid or underrated the grocery department at Menards
That's overrated very overrated. Um, I wouldn't even call it a group. I would call it a conservative
aisle or
Department yeah, it's some canned food and chips basically. yeah we got the whole male chilies we got.
The whole male dinners the three one minute me one minute meals.
We got big we do hostess bread and then we do have like some lunch meat and stuff but i i forgot to uh load my or cook my lunch so i was
going to get some cottage cheese and we don't sell cottage cheese so that was kind of a nightmare
i had to go to the holiday and they didn't have cottage cheese so it's cottage cheese less for
the day um but yeah that's just uh if you're looking for healthy and nutritious, go somewhere else.
If you need something that, yeah, if you want some beef jerky or a monster, go.
Nice. What is your I don't want to end like like an under 90 seconds or
well, then in a couple of minutes, like does your diet change since this
diagnosis, like of what you're having to consume?
Yeah, so actually I am not supposed to be doing simple carbs. I'm not doing the complex carbs, so wheat, grains, all that stuff. I'm doing a lot more fruits, vegetables. They want me to cut out red meat and I'm not 100. Yeah, that's I'm going to kind of tell them like this.
I will do everything else.
Just kind of let me keep the meat the same.
I'll do all your veggies. I'll do all the fruits.
So, yeah, I'll eat like a whole ass cantaloupe or a bunch of love bananas
if I want just for a snack and then my cottage cheese.
I've been doing I'll miss all that fun stuff
I'm as a doctor
Losing one army as a whole would be tough like I could yeah, I I mean I read me a nice in that I mean
Like the minimum three three three times a week, but usually more than that, but three is probably right where it's at
I couldn't go down to like no red meat
But three is probably right where it's at. I couldn't go down to like no red meat.
I do. I could and it would be easy, but I would hate it.
Like, I know that if I have a big deadlift day, I want to steak dinner.
Like, I want a good frayed.
But I mostly eat chicken and work, to be honest with you.
So I had a lot of fucking chicken.
Yeah. When you're a big Midwest boy, you gotta be you know that red meat you can yep
All right, I guess it's my turn. Yeah, I'll hand it over
Maybe not do all six that are left, but I'm gonna pick my favorite ones unpaid or underrated
Ohio or as I like to call it, Ohio
I
Don't know why I love this state like I've never been there. I've only seen pictures of it.
What?
It's not.
I. But you're not from North Dakota is the thing.
Like from being from North Dakota,
I feel like it's just a little it's.
I don't know. I've just kind of always had
a very strange attraction towards it.
I'm a huge Ohio State fan.
When LeBron went there, I just fell
involved. Um, so I'm going to go underrated and I don't care what anyone else says. I don't know
why, but for whatever reason, Ohio was like my Hawaii. Like I don't, I don't understand it.
Like maybe I'll go there and I'll be like, okay, maybe this is trash. But until I do that, I just want to keep the dream alive.
And you should. But I've been there now twice, maybe three times. And every time I'm just like, this place is different. That's how I'll say it. This place is different. Everything here and everyone here, this is a different place.
So hopefully when you come to the Arnold.
Maybe we'll figure that out together.
Yeah, because I definitely I wasn't planning on going to the Arnold this year.
It was one of those like maybe I will, maybe I won't,
but I think I kind of have to at this time.
Unpaid or underrated getting punched in the balls during Mario Kart.
That's not how you say Mario.
I said Mario.
You did.
Like, like marry my wifey-o.
That's not how you say Mario.
Yeah, Mario, Mario.
What the fuck's the difference?
I bet that Scott Dodd's coming in.
Yeah, it is.
All right, so getting punched in the balls
during Mario Kart.
There you go. That's super underrated.
Underpaid.
I don't know why a human being would do this to a brother and older brother,
much, much less.
So what happened was I was just having a good day
during the summer, just playing Mario Kart on the Wii.
And all of a sudden, my the second oldest runs down.
For I think he pats me to and just swing.
And.
Fifteen.
So I was 15, he used probably 30.
And like, it's all that's old enough to know better.
No, yeah, 100 percent.
But like that's just the household you grew up.
I grew up in like would be a medical miracle if we have children.
I'm not going to lie.
Like, it's just if there's one surviving testicle in our whole family,
that's a win for us.
But so that happened. And I didn't get my revenge
until I left for college. I restrained myself from any below the belt punches until that moment.
And when my brother hugged me goodbye, for when I went to college. I need a bright in the sack and it felt so.
So it is.
Oh, welcome to unpaid and underrated where we relive trauma over and over and over
again.
All right, I'm going to do two more because I think we are getting close to the two
hours.
Yeah, I'm logging off in like 20 minutes or less.
Unpaid or underrated pizza ranch farts.
Those are also.
Going to be underrated because that was
that was the greatest fart I think I have ever had in my entire life.
It had everything.
I am very proud of it. Like, honestly, when I go to heaven, I hope that's in my entire life. It had everything. I am very proud of it. Like honestly, when I go to heaven,
I hope that's in my highlight reel because it had so much force. It was so loud. We were leaving
and I crop dusted an entire balcony almost. And I think honestly, I think it was so powerful. pizza flipped over on the tables like and
every other part I've ever had I have to compare it to that one. And there hasn't been one
that has taught that this was only this had to have been when I was about 15. So about
12 years.
So getting do you think it was because you got punched in the nuts?
It was like, you know, it's a byproduct of that.
And I don't know.
There's a lot of strange things happening down there in our family.
Today, my little girl, I'm trying to get her to lay down for bed.
I let out one just loud.
I go, what was that?
She goes, that was you, Daddy, you went.
She kept just recreated my part.
She's three.
So you had no clue how to do it was great.
All right. No, I'm going to end on that one.
I think you passed on paid underrated.
That was a good.
And that was good.
So, of course, the next one, just because we want to make sure we
get to it before Cinderella here turns into a pumpkin.
Fuck off.
Do you have anything for us?
Okay, get this quick.
Sure.
Thanks.
Keith hit us with the a fit.
Don't take the bat.
Don't take the phone with you.
All right guys.
So obviously this week is the week to you know if you were one of the
runner-ups didn't get any prizes barbell rescue Kim he does sell these barbell
rescue brushes so if you had your heart set on buying one or winning one that
is you know we can't really help you at that but we can't help you out with code
unpaid you know save a little bit money at barbell rescue also you need some
smelling salts you know your training sessions going a little going a little
rough you need a little pick me up
So, you know obviously obsidian ammonia and they've got some of the best-selling smelling salts we've ever had out there
Code unpaid also there works out great plate snacks plate snacks good friends over there
I've actually was I was debating on like looking at some of my arsenal of my gym
I was like, what could I put plate snacks on because he's got some cool stuff
I think if I end up getting a circus dumbbell
I'm gonna get a bunch of logos on that some kind of like end up you big NWC or something
So he can do all kinds of custom stuff like that. He can do your your your weight stacks
If you have a select rise machine

But if you ever want to you know, get some Mastanomics branding on that, you know
weight stack on your $200 plate
lat pull down that probably cost $3,000 back in the day, go ahead
and use code unpaid, save a little money there.

unpaid there, save a little money.
Big Chris over at Belt Fed Strength, he's got a lot of great belts him and his wife
are making and pumping out out there.
They're also doing all kinds, they're still doing all the cleanup down there in the Carolinas,
helping the hurricane victims and stuff.
They're out there every weekend, it looks like, going through people's, literally helping
people dig their lives out of the mud.
So it's kind of surreal to still see a couple months, like they're not out of the woods down there. And then if you want to help out
the new father big grant down there, buy some strength for apparel and save a little bit of
money using code unpaid specifically on the apparel. And that is the affiliates we have.
So go ahead and use them. And then we'll sort of lead us back to Big Dan. He's going to hit
up with a couple couple questions. Joey, remember the left are the easy classic to correct.
Sure.
You remember I asked you why don't you just move to America and you said that because you are aware that other countries exist, correct?
That's something he would say.
So I have created a
quite a country questionnaire and I named it Big Dumb Smelly American, BDSM for
short. Oh, Jesus.
Nice.
All right. BDSM, Joey, how many time zones is trying to have?
Or so they have one.
OK. OK, so that'd be wrong again, Joey.
Hey, how many does Canada have? OK.
Oh, they have no, no, no. Oh, no, because there's more to the right.
Alaska, yeah.
No, it's actually Newfoundland has their own.
Newfoundland has their own half an hour.
Yes. Yeah, Scans got a weird one too.
Yep.
Next.
All right.
Who the fuck cares about China?
China.
Like a billion people.
The Chinese.
With a 1600 square meters of space and seating for 300, this country has the
world's largest KFC.
Ooh.
Algeria.
Azerbaijan.
Wrong again, Joey.
Wait, where?
Azerbaijan.
Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan.
Is that a country or a city?
That's a country in, uh, middle East ish kind of a Georgia.
I don't know.
Perfect.
Perfect.
San.
So we're like Larry wheels keep was posting when he was like exodus.
So the American country where there was, I'm guessing.
Yeah. Right over my Turkey. Okay. I'm guessing. Yeah, right over my Turkey.
Hey, I'm not overly familiar.
Me either. Never heard of it.
Definitely sounded more like a city than a country, though.
Yeah, absolutely.
The Bahamas and this African country are the only two countries
that officially use the in their name.
Oh, shit, I actually do know that.
Um, Nope.
I'm losing it.
The Gambia wrong again, Joey.
Our next one is after helping end conflicts in the late 1990s, this
year in P and country erected a monument of Bill Clinton hmm a European
country elected a thing of Bill Clinton what was the conflict in the late 90s to
Afghanistan Kosovo wrong again Joey fuck is Kosovo I've heard of it I don't know where in Europe apparently
and then the last one you still haven't got one red no I'm not going to there
may have been a little bit of malice when I created these questions oh I can
tell I get there apparently I hurt your American exceptionalism feelings.
There are only eight pilots qualified to land at the Perot airport in this Asian country, making it the world's most dangerous airport in the world.
South Korea.
Bhutan.
Wrong again, Joey.
Well done.
I enjoyed that segment.
That was actually really fun. Cause like we learned things to my friends along the
way.
Yeah. Having to look this up. It was super fun learning other facts about countries too.
You wanted to fuck with me so bad. You went. Yes, I did. So many other countries.
And it was it was. That's why I was my favorite segment.
Well yeah, you would like that. Yeah. Now hit Keith with any questions about anything other than New York.
It's so big. It's the biggest state.
You mofo.
I don't know. I think that was a perfect segment to end on.
Now, what do you do?
You have anything for me?
Yeah, no, I'm not cutting.
I do have a Mount Rushmore of least favorite movie tropes.
Do it.
He just does it.
Oh, oh, duh.
Yeah.
Oh, fuck, dude.
I don't, that's too.
I was thinking, Vesemke.
I look stupid for a minute.
Well, I had to one up you.
I don't.
Oh, fucking, I hate fucking movies
that don't have real endings.
They're the stupidest fucking things in the world.
I don't want an open-ended ending.
I don't, yeah, okay, actually, I'm gonna have fun with this one.
Okay, yeah, like the end of Cast Away, where it's just like,
does he go this way or does he go that way?
Does he go back and try to fucking like have a relationship
or does he fucking just go on with his life?
I just hate movies that make you guess
what the fucking ending is and leave it up for interpretation. are complete waste of times to me along the same vein of
that I fucking loathe when main characters die at the end of the fucking
movie that also pisses me off without end like not not a big fan of Passion of
the Christ didn't see that one come in really bothered him. I don't watch for I won't watch religious movies.
I've never glazed that one.
I don't think I ever will.
Those are definitely my top.
I don't know that I can I need to go past those.
No, I'll fill in the rest.
I'll fill in the rest.
Yeah, time travel bullshit.
Yeah, I absolutely despise time.
So there was a really no, no, you're wrong.
There was this one movie dogs jerking off that beam behind him. Oh there was a really no though. No, you're wrong. There was this one movie
Dodds jerking off that beam behind him. Oh, he's really enjoying that
So there's it's this one movie and Kevin Bacon is in it and it's like supposed to be a horror movie where he's in
a house in the woods
Yeah, and like things are moving around and like he doesn't know what's going on
But blah blah, and then later you find out it was him the whole time.
Yeah, I think I've seen that.
I hate that shit.
Time travel movies that are like period pieces
where like they go back in time and they deal.
That's fine.
But that thing of when it's like.
It was you the whole time and you know, because like you know, I hate that.
That actually I will turn a movie off whether I paid.
I will walk out. If that is the trope turn a movie off whether I paid I will walk out if
That is the trope of the movie. I'll fucking I'll walk out. I hate that stuff
And consummation tropes consummation tropes are the worst thing. So it's when you set up
relationship between two main characters always always always male and female and
All you're doing is waiting for them to have sex.
Big bang theory was based on it. They did it in the X files.
It's just one of those things where they introduced two characters and all you're
doing is just, just, just, just hook up, just hook up. Fuck. Just do it.
Take stop. That is so low brow and low key or not low key.
It's just like bad.
It's so lazy writing and it makes you want it's the idea that they make you want to watch it like these two need to be
together. And throughout the first two seasons, they're not
together with somebody else. And then eventually they're going to
get together. It's just it's lazy writing to me.
And I think it's just drama in general. like that's that's more TV than movies.
I mean, I guess, well, yeah, basically.
But that was good.
Enjoyed that, Daniel.
I enjoyed venting a little bit about my I'm trying to say I sat there,
trying to think of any more that kind of stood out.
I go all day to the rush more.
But the two that I said are definitely my my bigger pet peeves.
The time travel one is very annoying.
I don't know how you I don't know how you donate.
Yeah, it's, yeah, it's just so easy.
Yeah, surprise, it was you, ho!
It depends if it's like,
Your mind is blowing.
No, it's never been done right.
It's never been done right.
Fight Club?
Which one?
Like, yeah.
Fight Club?
I would say I don't love that.
That was not actually the time travel, but the whole like,'t love that that that was not a sure the time travel
But the whole like the mental
Head the whole time because then it was showing you stuff that didn't exist like and it's not a bad movie by any means
It's like one of the most yeah, I don't think it's as good as people think it is
But I also don't I don't know I didn't love the the twist there
All right. Well, what is the best twist of a movie? I?
Know you want to go to bed so bad. I just gotta get up early. Uh,
That's all our questions are better if we ask him in advance. It's so hard to think of like what is the best thing?
I mean the six senses out there
Yeah, I
liked um, what was the one with fucking Christian Bale where and and um
The prestige yes, I don't remember what the twist was but I remember it being like huge
Yeah, yeah, what the end was twins. Yeah
That was a spoiler alert for anybody hasn't seen it yet
If it's more than a year old get over it it. That Leonardo DiCaprio movie where the boat
sank at the end, that was, that fucking blew
my mind. Titanic?
Yeah, that was a joke.
It's
David's, it's funny because we knew they were going to
hit an iceberg and go down.
Movies
that are like historically based
but you don't, so I've watched a couple movies
like, what was the sniper movie
American sniper I didn't know anything about the Chris Chris Kyle
I believe it is like I had no clue who he was or what his story was
so clearly didn't know that like in real life he was fucking murdered and
So I think oh, this is an awesome movie. The movie's almost over sweet
I'm gonna give it like a 9 out of 10 and then he fucking dies at the end
I'm like that one that one
I can't really be as upset that the main character died because it happened in real life
But in general it's like fuck you're sitting here like balling because you didn't know the fucker died
And if you knew he died in advance, it might not have been as dramatic
There was another movie I watched with it was a really shitty Robert Pattinson movie where he ends up dying
He ends up like being in the World Trade Center to like meet his dad on like a fluke thing and he fucking dies in the World Trade
Center and like I didn't know that's what the movie was about and then but
apparently like if it was like based on a book that everyone else knew that
that's what it was about so like like surprises like that were like you
should know it know it if you knew the backstory but you I didn't know the
backstory and I was like fuck this one caught me off guard oh there's another
there's a there was a firefighter movie that came out a few years ago where this whole fucking like
battalion of firefighters just literally just like melted alive and were burned alive.
And I didn't know that either. And only like one guy survived. And it was like a very traumatic
fucking ending of a movie, but it was real. And it's just like when you watch a movie
that you didn't know what was going to happen, even though it was based on facts, but those
make, you know, and then you go down that Wikipedia rabbit
hole to like learn everything about the actual story.
So like, I like, I do like movies that motivate me to go Wikipedia because then I can spend
a fucking hour reading like every article about like this topic.
So and that was our movie segment of the week.
You got as passionate about that as I did about wrestling.
So good. Big, big Daniel brought it out of me. All right, boys, we're ready to bring us in for
a landing. Yeah, let's do it. All right. Uh, big Daniel, where are they going to find you at one
