Turn up my headphones. Turn me up. Turn me up. Turn me up.
Hey everybody. Welcome to episode AD of the Unpaid and Underrated podcast. The podcast for
Crew by Crew taking place a few days before crew falls. I am joined by
Big girthy banana down there
Hello hello and big Andy from bremi strong right got that right?
Alright
So every people I do my homework. Oh
I'm Joey. There you go.
It's not about me.
I forget.
I forget to introduce myself every time I do the intro.
So good, man.
Back.
People know you.
By now, I think somebody does.
I've only been recognized in public once.
Really? Yeah, yeah.
And it's my buddy Mitch.
He's probably listening right now.
He's a chef down in Hamilton.
He didn't know who I was at first, but he saw the Mastinomics gear and came over and
introduced himself.
And I was like, Oh yeah, I'm Big Joey.
I do unpaid underrated.
And he was just like, Oh, and he's an avid listener.
So yeah, yeah, it's really cool at the Arnold.
I get recognized all the time but big big celebrity for three days
Lifting world. Yeah, there's one niche little area of the world
Alright, I already commented on it. But what are you wearing? I
got the
the classic flipped hard live, classic original T that I got broken hearted that I couldn't
get the first year and then same thing second year. So yeah, I have all of the apparel just
haven't been there yet.
Yeah, we, uh, we, we must be, you know, uh, twin it up, twin it up over here. That's the
shirt I'm wearing, buddy. I was like, I'm wearing the OG,
the OG Lift Hard Live Easy Classic as well.
Yeah, and a shocking, honestly, was not planned.
I actually have that on,
the Lift Hard Live Easy 2, underneath this one.
Oh, nice.
Nice.
That's good stuff.
Almost the trifecta, but we'll take it.
Yeah, I got my lift hoodie on over it it because my wife has decided part of saving money is
freezing daddy.
So I'm just cold all the time.
Well, Keith, I don't know if you remember, but we have been twinning a couple of times.
I've tagged you on Instagram just randomly wearing the hoodie or something.
Ah, nice.
What are you drinking?
One of these bits is bound to happen. What are you drinking over there? I heard you got some beers I
Got some Sam Adams winter lager and then fucking love Sam Adams winter lager. I got a La Croix Razz cranberry
the furlens I
Had a giant okay. It's not the one that I thought it was I thought it was the Oktoberfest when I bought it
But that's what what do you want him?
Oktoberfest was good, but I recall when I was a bartender. We had the the winter ale on tap
That was it was amazing. Yeah, it's not bad at all
I pretty much down an entire glass of water right before doing this so
I'm finishing off this beer and then I'm probably gonna have 16 pee breaks. Yeah
So I got I got to call out one of the Davids here the the American David
He gave a sparkling water. Yeah
He gave a Waterloo cherry limeade a 1.5 or 1.25 out of 5 is a few minutes ago and that you know that kind of
Didn't sit well with me. So that's what I'm drinking tonight in
And that, uh, you know, that kind of sit didn't sit well with me. So that's what I'm drinking tonight in spite of, you know, one, one of the
Davids and I wouldn't say it's a five out of five, you know, it might not be
the best water Lou, but it's still pretty damn good.
Any, any, any water Lou's pretty much better than most other drinks out there.
So I don't know what he's smoking to give that rating, but, uh, I don't know.
We definitely did disagree with you tonight, David.
Oh man.
When Nate posted the thing from the David's toothpaste.
And he was like, Oh, great.
I can't wait to explain all my jokes to this thing all weekend.
Oh, my God. I belly laughed like I feel on like Morgan was like,
what can be that funny?
That was good. That was a good joke.
Mm hmm. It was a deep cut.
I've got a beer. Good.
Got my keats. In recognition of big old scants.
I started drinking it out of a glass again.
It's I found it upset.
The gentleman should.
Yeah, I just found it upset my stomach a little less like I didn't get so bloated so quick.
Hmm.
So I thought you had one of those Jaeger Meister freezer coolers behind you at first. I was like, okay
I should put that on my Christmas list Morgan asked me for a Christmas list
But I like I don't want anything
Like she's her and all of you guys and my friends are sending me to crew Falls in a few days
Like there's no better gift for my birthday and Christmas. So I put on just wild shit.
I was like, I want barefoot boots. I want an Aztec death whistle. I want like, Masonomics
gift cards, just dumb shit. I don't know. I don't know what she thinks she's going to
get me. Um, but I should have put on a Jaeger fridge. I want to, when I build the gym fully
in the basement, if I come into like some good money, I'm going to get one of those down there.
You had a kegerator and a Jager Meister freezer. Yeah, you
have to leave.
Yeah, I drink an uncanny amount of Yeager. My liver is probably
black.
Oh, speaking of black, we had the Black Friday drop last week.
We kind of missed the episode. Well, this should be the first episode since that hit.
So anybody pick anything up?
That was the, they had several new items on that.
And they had the mystery crew item, which I did.
I wasn't upright.
I did end up, you know, being vindicated on my,
my guests of the,
the lift shorts one. Yeah, you nailed that.
And so I picked up two pairs of those and super excited.
What about you guys?
Did you get anything?
two pairs of those and super excited. What about you guys? You get anything? I did. I bought the crew only shorts myself and then every year for Christmas my aunt is just
like I know Mastanomics Black Friday drop is or whatever drop whenever is the time frame and she's
like just pick some stuff out. So I know that.
Tanner's probably like Jackie for Brimmy, like one is.
Now he gets it.
He reads those things like intently, like if Mary reads a thousand books
a year, Tanner reads a thousand order comments a year.
Yeah, I bet.
That's that's a good like I want it like who will know.
Yeah, he has to get we have to have to get more orders than she
reads books.
I don't know, dude.
I heard she reads a lot of books, but I'm not putting money on that one.
Yeah.
Because he said she read like a hundred books a month or 50, 50, like, like
multiple books a day, it seemed like three or four books a day.
It was, yeah.
Yeah, no, that's, that's unc uncanny that would be a good toss-ups I guess I will get
big we'll get big math on that and get back to you the answer at some point in
the future crew send that one out to the scientists no I was gonna say something
there yeah I got the shorts I'm just gonna pick them up from Tanner
Canada Post is on strike so nothing's making it up to yeah yeah I was like
nah I said if I order something can you just bring it to crew
falls? And he said, no problem, which is dope. Yep. Awesome. Great customer service.
I'm stoked for crew falls. That's why we're recording this early. It didn't really affect
the fans or anything, but like, you know, if we mentioned or anything, it's just because Joey and
I got to leave like, like, like, like, like 40. There's's there's 40 loyal listeners out there.
Cart might be podcast that is friends with a podcast that has millions of listeners.
Yeah. And we get mentioned once a week. So that's pretty cool. Yeah. Speaking of that,
did you guys listen? Oh, yeah. Did you listen last week?
Yeah. The pros and cons.
The pros and cons of the home gym. Yeah, I was it was an in depth one. I think I listened to the first half live and then had to, you know, wait till Sunday to finish it up.
As far as specifics, man, I agreed and disagree. I'm trying, I need to like start taking notes because like every now and then there is things I'm like, God damn it, I really disagree with that. Or like, let's that up and then it's just like, you know 90% of the time I'm you know, not in a position to actually like stop and make a note or anything
But uh, you know, I can't get enough home gym talk
So, you know, I always give I always give a any any home gym talk episode five out of five
crew fall airplane rides
Any any episode that they talk about Keith is his favorite episode.
That is true.
Very, very true.
There was one thing I was, I was thinking and, um, and I'll, oh yeah, I'll get back
to that in a second.
One thing I was thinking is when they were talking about the social aspects of a
home gym and how some people might miss the regular gym. And I don't think they talked enough about the people that don't fucking want other people around.
And that's the people like me where like I, I went in today for that squat session and it was a 25 minute workout.
And it was a jug, I did every movement Juggernaut did, did every rest period. The only thing I did was skip warmups. And I'm moving into trying to be a little more raw.
So like, I'm not fighting with belts and sleeves and shit.
So 25 minutes and like, you could not do that
at a commercial gym.
No, no.
You just wait 25 minutes to get an open rack.
Yeah, like you wouldn't get in there,
get your squats done, get your accessories done
and get up and shower and be down
in half an hour,
45 minutes, right?
So for me, the pro of a home gym is there's nobody around
and I like it that way.
Now, at like Saturday, when I'm lifting with friends,
that's great, but that's like a treat.
That's not how I want my training.
Yeah.
There was also something Tanner said,
and I put it in discord where he said,
don't, don't bring up your one exception to the rule. I, that is, I never realized it,
but when he said that sentence, he formulated and crystallized my hatred for when people
do that. It is, it makes me so mad and at work it happens a lot, right? Because
I like, I don't want to get too far into the weeds of my work, but it'll be like, Oh no,
I've traveled over there and I know that this network doesn't have service. And they'll
go, well, I was fine. And it's like, dude, like I'm trying to save you from like the
hardship of having to come back and return all this. Like just listen to me. I'm trying to save you from like the hardship of having to come back and return all this like
Just listen to me. I'm telling you there's no network there or you know, you're training somebody and you're like
Oh when you do this this happens
So try and do it this way and they're like well works for me last week
And I'm like shut up like I'm the manager 11 years been doing this
Yeah, yeah
it's actually apparently one of those things that just
Drives me utterly insane and like you can see me get red in the face when people do it. So thank you Tanner for putting into sentence my severe hatred for people that
do that. So with that, I'm going to give that a five out of five, uh, new lift shorts. That's a good one. Nice. Keith. Yeah. Um, I thought it was like, like
y'all said, home gym stuff that is right up my alley. So I loved every minute of it. They
did a, uh, a lot of line writing, a lot of, a lot of pros were cons, a lot of cons or
pros. Um, but I didn't, I felt the same way and I feel the same way you do like having a session with my boys is one of my favorite
things in here, just getting a bunch of people and left in, but nine times out of 10, it's
so much easier just to get in here, get the work done, go.
But yeah, no, and it's also really funny hearing Tommy talk about this home gym.
Like it's just stopping right now.
Like it's just going and now. Like it's just,
it keeps going and going. And I'm like, man,
that that second stall is going to be full.
I will give Tommy a little bit of shit.
He made it sound like he wasn't anti-home gym. Like,
I think I talked to him multiple times about trying to persuade him to do a
home gym. Like ever since he moved to Sioux falls and it was just like no, I'm not I'm not I'm not a home gym guy
I'm not a home gym guys like you were you were emphatically an anti home gym guy for well over you know well
I mean, I guess he wouldn't have to be home gym guy and you know Aberdeen but from the time he moved to Sioux Falls
He was there for almost two years
I think or at least a year before he'd you know pulled the trigger so like you were very much an anti home gym guy
Tommy's but we're glad you came around.
He was an anti home gym guy until he had to go to commercial
gyms.
Yeah, that's what I was gonna say because he wasn't anti home
gym. He just didn't realize that massonomics gym wasn't home.
Yeah, so that it just kind of once he got to a real commercial
gym and fought all that then he he was like, yeah No, I yeah, F that noise. I would what's your rating Andy? Oh
I five out of five
Tanner's handwritten notes
That's a first I think
Well, we can build on the home gym a little bit more
So when he can congratulate big Jess
She was crew number 10 to make it to the no wine cellar this last weekend.
Her and Matt came over for a little Thanksgiving, uh, lift. I try to,
I get to get together every year. Uh,
it was first time Jess had been able to come as she was trying to come, I think,
uh, you know, on my birthday in the summer and, uh, her kid got sick or no,
her, her babysitter was her sister and her sister went into labor.
So she had to like, you know, kind of,
that's the opposite of her kid was sick
Yeah, I mean her sister got
Well her kid was involved because he
care
Yeah
But I thought that was cool
and then she like it sent me down the weeds once she had signed it to like I like I
Went through my whole spreadsheet of like who's signed my banner and like oh, that's this is literally like including myself
You know cuz fuck you guys I conclude myself on the banner and shit like that
Like there have been ten crew that have trained at my house
And I think that's pretty cool
And I think currently I would I would say up and I mean I'm probably gonna hold the record right up until we're all at
Tommy's house playing with his golden peepee
So but you know, so that was pretty cool
Yeah
I've got a little bit of a quick game that I want I want
Andy we got a question for you. So, you know a little bit about Joey and I so I want you to guess
Who has more piercings Joey or Keith
Who I have to say Joey?
And I think that would be the general consensus of what everybody would think
But unless he lied on his story Joey has no piercings and I've had an earring that I haven't worn in 20 years
Yeah, are you counting that?
Wait, I could okay. So I haven't worn it regularly in 20 years, but I definitely put one in
Oh, you're going by I have a hole from when my mom decided when I was like five that it was the cool thing for kids
And then it got infected and I'd never worn it since and everyone so long my wife has to squeeze garbage out of it
I thought Joey used to have this you didn't have this never
Not not a piercings guy. Oh, I'm thinking of Jonathan. Yeah, that's old him. Yeah, I mean they're similar
I say I rocked a piercing from like
I'd say I rocked a piercing from like 10 to 19 or 10 like I was young like I was like third or fourth grade and I got my ear pierced and I think I stopped wearing it probably
a year or two out of high school.
My wife didn't, my wife Stephanie did not like it.
She was, she was not a fan so that probably contributed to just like not putting the effort
into it anymore and uh.
I don't know if that counts then because like I have a place where a piercing was but I wouldn't
be able to repierce it anytime soon. I could I could. What kind of bearing did you have in there though?
Me?
No, Keith.
I would I would wear I kind of you know, just a plain like you know, fake diamond, like a small, like a small diamond, uh, the small ball, like the small silver ball or, uh, the hoop I did, I did the hoop a lot.
Then this would have been like, I don't know, like mid nineties to early, early
two thousands.
So I didn't know if you were early adopter of like the hanging cross
and the broccoli hair.
No, it definitely didn't have any broccoli here.
I don't think I had, I don't think I ever had a cross.
I think I had a, I think I had actually, my mom had like an old peace sign earring that like was that she had in like a keepsake drawer or something
And I think she gave it to me when I got my ear pierced and I wore it a couple times
But I think that was almost more of like a like a Halloween costume
I think I wore as a more going does it like a 70s dude one day
Yeah, I think the the Lost Boys definitely ruined a lot of our ears
nearly 90s.
All right. Do you want to do one of yours? Because then I can finish off with mine.
Yeah, I'll touch the.
So I'll do both of them real quick.
So the the another little recap on the home gym hub.
A bunch of us made it into a secondary round.
Well, a bunch of it was me and carp and I think it was just me and carp, but we made it into an additional round, which
is kind of like, I don't know, he, he, I think it's most infamous home gyms, which I don't
know where they get the kids, where he's where, where, where the guys getting his numbers
from because they have like the rock and stuff on there, which I actually went ahead to head
to the rock and I beat him, but they haven't come out with a poll yet to say that, but
I know I beat him, which in no world should I beat the rock in anything if the rock was ever if the rock acknowledged the tag and put it in a story?
Obviously, I wouldn't win but you know, the kids got like 2,000 followers
So, you know, it's basically like half of those like, you know out of all his followers
I think a lot of them like your people that I correspond with so, of course, they're gonna vote for the guy
They know so I thought that was still kind of cool though. I think carps going up against Joe Rogan this week
So that'll be that'll be a funny one. But I imagine Carp will win honestly. But so yeah, that poll's actively going. So if anyone sees the crew on that, go vote for them.
And then one other thing. Joey, did you get a chance to listen to Thanksgiving episode at all?
Yeah. And I think I said, like, I wish I had been on that episode because I was in the car I was in my car screaming. I was like no that's wrong!
Hey like I was oh yeah I definitely had a lot of opinions on that but that's
also the fun of listening to you guys right listening to my friends. Did um
did you specifically remember when Scant said that you were possibly wrong with
you had you had you had you had volunteer was it tortierre the the meat pie yeah and that you guys have it on like holiday stuff
and scan says it's 100% not a holiday thing is there anything you want to
address with that well it's just that that's when my wife makes it got the
only time I ever get it and I go out and I buy her fancy game meats like we'll do
venison or elk or like we'll we'll make like a good meat pie but we only do it on holidays and bring it to the family events so for me
tortierre tortierre is a holiday event
gotcha and that was it I was just like yeah I get that like other people it
might not be it's actually probably a decent breakfast thing because if you put
cranberry sauce on it it's top tier right yeah no, I don't know. Yeah, it's honestly and skates described it
perfectly. It's like a gravy lists savory meat pie. Like it's amazing when she makes it. And
it's got like sometimes she put like roasted chestnuts or squash or something in it. Right?
Because somebody who doesn't eat sweets. That's ideal for me. Right? Yeah. See that.
All right. Is that it?
So all you wanted to ask about that?
Did you want to rate last week's episode since you didn't get a chance you weren't on it did so it was one of the
Few episodes you've actually like listened to not being a host or oh, it was incredible contributor
You know from a personal perspective I
Think I said it to you guys in the discord
It was really cool to listen to you guys and kind of feel like I just know you guys, which is a wild thing that we've done here with the crew is like I could say I could feel myself just smiling and being like, yeah, these are my friends.
Like these are people I know and I talk to regularly and I've hung out with right like I might only see you guys once or twice a year, but that felt so good to listen to you guys on my podcast,
which, sorry, our podcast, and be like, it's awesome.
I didn't have to be there, and you guys handled it,
and it was great.
It was a great episode.
And Nate, I know you're listening.
You're pretty good at hosting.
Yeah, he's so self-deprecating, but it's like, no.
Yeah, but you're funny.
Get over it.
You're chaotic, you're hilarious, you've got,
you're not the king of segues like Keith,
or the troll king like me,
but like, you know, you've got your aspects
and you're amazing.
So you should probably do this a little more often too.
And he was a much better on-screen presence
because he had the druthers background
and not the flaming emoji, you know,
not the... his usual background is actual moving flames and it's just so fucking
distracting and I can't focus on what he's sick. So it's like I almost have to
like take his screen off the my computer when it's up there. So I was very happy
that he changed his background that episode. And we're gonna work on getting
me that soundboard
I think that would be oh god. He did that live. He hit when he hit me with fucking wrong again Keith and then the
Like I fucking laugh my every time that disturbed turkey hit I laughed my ass off
Yeah, and it was one of those you'd think it would you'd think you'd get tired of it, but no I did not
You'd think it would you'd think you'd get tired of it, but no I did not
I could definitely do some like future tier like I was very because I've watched some like tier YouTube stuff And it's just like this fucking dumb
You don't even know like like you don't know what you're talking about enough to rate this stuff
But since it was like food like everyone I mean yeah
Yeah, it was just so much more easier to like, everyone has valid, like everyone
had valid opinions and like knowledge on stuff.
So keep an eye out in the future,
see what else we do with, you know,
obviously we'd love our interviews,
but every few months it's nice to do something different.
Yeah, and doing this 52 weeks a year.
Yeah, no thanks.
It takes toll.
I'm surprised you even got on that episode,
cause like, you were bragging about how you wanted a break.
And then you still got on that episode.
Yeah, I almost rather double duty just to get the week off,
because we did the Tuesday, Thursday,
and I didn't have it recorded in like 11 days or something.
It's been awesome.
So all right.
So I have something that is essentially the the opposite of
supporting our supporting members
So as you guys know on December 1st when again began and
for those of you who don't know the rules of when mcgeddon despite me explaining them every year and
Talking about in discord
So when mcgeddon is you have to avoid listening to
Last Christmas by Wham from December 1st to December 24th. You lose the moment you realize
what song it is and then you're supposed to post on social media and say you got whammed.
I don't know the history of it. I've heard there's some problems with it, but like, shut up, it's a fun game.
So every week, I want to acknowledge our fallen brothers and sisters.
For those who have gone to Wham-Halla and have been Wham-mageddon'd,
I do believe on December 2nd,
Big Ryan Erickson injured Ryan, he went. He only lasted two days.
So Skull Brother and those of you that get hit, tag me, tell me and
we will honor your memory here. An unpaid and underrated.
That's like an impossible task. I don't understand how.
I know. It's like, so obviously like I'm I know it's like.
So obviously, like I'm playing like it's a fun game and I'm playing up the concept.
But today, Morgan texted me and she's like, I think we need to go to the mall.
And in my head, I was just like, oh, no, that's where they get you.
Like if it's going to I have the luck of working with somewhere where we don't play Christmas music.
Right. And but as soon as she's
like, Oh, let's go to the mall. I was like, Oh no, no, no, no. Like I'm putting in my
headphones. Like I'm either I'm dropping you off and not coming. Uh, yeah. It's going to
get you. Uh, covers don't count. It has to be the original version. Cause I know there's
a really good rock cover out there that that's kind of worked its way into the zeitge there whatever we call it for Christmas didn't Jimmy world cover that actually who I think it is to be honest and
We literally talk about Jimmy. Yeah in the discord today. Yeah
So yeah, and then like even today like I'm scroll
I was just doom-scrolling because I've been working 10-hour shifts for like seven days straight
So I finally had some time to just do nothing.
And the whole time I'm scrolling and I was going, I'm going to get whammed on my own phone.
And then I come into the kitchen and I hear Morgan go, Hey Siri, play Christmas music.
And I was like, I froze. And she's like, by Michael Buble.
I was like, Oh, thank God.
I was like, did you just try and wham sass and me?
Did you just try and like, like, get me before it even starts?
Like, that's not fair. You can't do that to your friends.
So anyway, yeah.
Oh, yeah, divorce immediately.
So they go when I get in our first our first
installment of this fairly
soldier are fairly new segment crew. Yeah. The fallen soldiers
of when I'm again. Rest in peace. Ryan's always in pieces.
He's already been as fitting that it's him. All right, Andy. I
think that's more or less our general topics unless you just you say anything on the the old Instagram this week that we needed to talk about anything any lifting news or crew news that we missed.
I'm.
Hello.
I think you're pretty much covered everything I mean I because I'm just catching up with.
I feel like I like I guy there's any what was frustrating to just a minute ago like the discord had like I was I was up to date all of it you know pretty much most of the best I could and like right right when I'm like getting ready to like you know kind of do like the final touches on the show notes and everything just make sure I'm like you know everything kind of.
Give it a one last glaze over and then like like I'm tagged in like twelve things fucking every goddamn channel has new comments and posts and like son of a bitch so yeah it's like this is so very active
but uh yeah this is the time where we kind of hand it over to you and let you hit us with a little
masonomic sponsor read if you got something ready for the uh for the for the crew sure all right
Sure. Alright.
Do you believe Red Robin is real?
Do you think 14 eggs can be any meal?
Is lifting and drinking all you know?
If you have answered yes to any of these questions, the Masanomics podcast is for you.
For the small fee of $3 per month, you can join the Discord and become a crew member.
This is where you can finally understand those inside jokes. Hurry up
There's only three spots left
Massenomics the lifting podcast about nothing
Nice well done
Well done. Well, I think I'm sure carps here probably one of the Ryan's
You know, there's definitely a few other people in here so we get rid of all those guys and
We can get that guess on the horn.
So the, the, the, the, the big Andy, is that you buddy?
That's me.
Hey, welcome to the unpaid and underrated podcast.
How we doing tonight?
I'm doing well.
How are you?
Wonderful.
Wonderful.
So let's just dive right in.
So want to hear your Mastanomics origin story.
So how'd you find them?
When'd you join crew?
Where's your backlog kind of journey going? Just give me all that
So I'm trying I can't remember the exact timeline of when I started listening it was pretty early
I think it was like 2018 2019 something like that
But I found them
One of my buddies had sent me an Instagram
One of my buddies had sent me an Instagram post that had one of their stickers on something and we were like, that's a cool sticker.
I ended up finding them and I ordered, I think I ordered the shorts and without even knowing
like about the podcast or anything really.
And then, um, yeah, I listened to the podcast and then I went on a deep dive. I pretty much listened to the entire, you know, backlog. But yeah, I just, I went deep into it. And then I joined the discord in March of 22. So, yeah.
And funny story about that is I actually fell for the three spots left thing.
I really did.
I was like, there's only three spots.
I was like, maybe I should do it.
And then I joined.
I was like, Oh my gosh, that's
well, I mean, it, it, it was a plausible guess, you know, cause I mean, they are,
they were, they were the first to make this paywall thing.
Yeah. They were the first company to have content behind it.
So like you probably think that there will be a cap cause like, you know,
could, could the server handle, you know, an unlimited amount.
Like, I don't know.
That's really exactly what I thought. I was like, I mean,
what is there like 20 people on here?
And then I got on and there was like 70 people like this? And I got on there's like 70 people
That's great, but yeah, and then I
Don't know. I just
Those guys have been awesome. They when I started doing bremi stuff because I think yeah
I was I was listening to massonomics and buying massonomics before I started bremi
and I mean I was building equipment, but I didn't have the name brimmy.
And, uh, they always helped me out.
Uh, you know, they did some advertising for me and built some stuff for them.
It just always been awesome.
Yeah.
They have some hooks from you.
I know of.
Yep.
Right.
I think it's a hooks and, uh, yeah, actually both of them. I wasn't even thinking about that until right now.
But yeah, no, that was that was in my notes. Yeah, because you would have sent the OG pair
to Tanner and Mastanomics Gym and then you got the custom red ones for Tommy.
Yep. Do you guys remember Don't Mess with the Zohan?
Yes. Yeah. So it was the hairdresser.
Yeah, it was easily one of the best Adam Sandler movies and
It's they have the one story is just called going out of business
Like that's just the name of the store to try and get people to come in and think that all the prices are slashed
That's essentially what the three spots left thing is it murders me
spots left thing is it murders me.
Got you. That's really good.
That's correct.
Mip.
Uh, all right.
So just so everyone knows who we're talking to, do you want to hit us with
your, you know, your Instagram handles and you know, if you, if your discord is
anything different or you know, what, what's your business name and, you know,
and where, where you're from, if you want to, if you want to talk to your
fee, um, well, I'm Andy Downs and bring me products and I'm in Chesapeake, Virginia
My shop is professional welding. That's in Norfolk, Virginia, but that's where I run bring me through and
I'm bring me strong on Instagram or my personal is Andy Pandy with two A's but
And then my website is
Bring me products calm. I just make But, and then my website is bremiproducts.com.
I just make everything gym equipment.
About 90% of my work is just custom orders.
People just hit me up for the most random things.
But yeah, and I'm in Virginia,
Chesapeake, Virginia if I didn't say that.
But I'm like, I'm 15 minutes away from the Carolina line.
So I'm really southern Virginia.
Is Virginia as big as New York?
Fuck off.
Oh, that's actually a good one.
Virginia is, I don't know.
I mean, I grew up in West Virginia.
I'm not letting it go away, man.
Not letting it go away.
Someone can Google that.
But I would bet Virginia's.
Virginia's pretty big.
That'd be close.
I think I would say New York might edge it out by like a couple percent.
So is it, so there's a Virginia and a West Virginia.
Yes.
There's no East Virginia.
No, there's no relation to the West Virginia and Virginia too.
It's like, it's two different states.
Oh, of course.
Like South Dakota, North Dakota, that makes sense.
Then what is north of the other?
Yeah.
But like, wouldn't one be South Virginia
and the other be West Virginia or something?
Interesting.
You're going to start the argument
that is Virginia Southern and everybody here is like, yeah.
Yeah.
From the South, but.
Well, you're south of West Virginia.
North of North Carolina.
But Americans, American geography is fun.
Yeah, it's I'm not good at it.
Are you on the Hall of Fame at all?
Well, no, this is at least number one.
So I was just looking at it because I haven't marked it off.
But I have quite I have a couple of questionable ones, too, like
being on a mass and
my voice on the Masonics podcast.
No, they played a clip of me from another
another podcast.
They OK.
So I wonder that I think that you should have to ask that.
Did they introduce you?
No, no, they just said that's the Ghandi on the, the garage dim radio podcast.
And then, um, you know, just stuff like that.
I think you got an argument there that that counts.
They said your name and your voice was there.
Yeah, I still got, I got like six or seven that I need to get before I'm getting on this there that that counts they said your name and your voice was there yeah I
still got like six or seven that I need to get before I'm getting on this Hall
of Fame's but I did sign up for the lift our live easy three so nice that's how
to live easy yeah that'll check a quite a few off of there. But yeah, I gotta get, the Arnold's a tough one.
But I do wanna do Crew Falls next year too, so.
I would argue that Arnold is the most fun one.
Today I had some people just asking me about Joey Swole,
and then I introduced Huck Finn Barbell,
and they were like, well we don't know who that is,
and I got to describe how like, well once a year, me and Huck Finn Barbell and they were like, well, we don't know who that is. And I got to describe how like, well, once a year, me and Huck Finn Barbell get together and act like complete menaces at the Arnold.
Yeah, I'm normally like a pretty calm and reserved dude, but when me and him get together, it's just loud and drinking and.
I think you kind of have to with him.
Oh, absolutely. And I can, I can, when I have to match his energy, obviously
not his strength or physique, but that energy he has, I can, I can get up there with them.
And yeah, so it was just like, all I could think is like, God, I love the Arnold. It's
just like a lawless land of people acting stupid.
It's, it's one of those ones I want to do. And, uh, I'm trying to recruit my boys and, and go to a few different things.
Three easy.
That was the big one.
I was just like, man, cause I, like I said, I skipped the last two years and I was
like, I just have to do it.
I was talking to my wife.
I just did a power lifting means she was like, just sign up for, to do it. I was talking to my wife. I just did a powerlifting means She was like just sign up for just do it. Mm-hmm
No, I attended one I
Competed at one and I don't think I'll be at the next one
But you know just becomes too pricey to travel across the continent constantly so though
What's your supporting membership number and then we'll kind of get into the crazy stuff.
One, two, five.
Nice.
I think you beat big Matt, mostly squat videos.
I think I did.
Yeah.
I heard him on here.
I was listening to the backlog and I heard him
and I think he said like 140 or something.
I was like, damn.
Yeah.
And now he's like 400 because he led his credit card lapse.
Come on. Yeah. Yeah. Come on, Matt.
I owe Matt another episode, if I'm being honest, because I was
dying, dying during his episode.
And I think I could have had more.
I just I just listened to that one and I was like, damn, you
sound miserable, dude.
Oh, man. Yeah. I had like a I ended up going to the emergency
the next day because I had a sinus infection.
Yeah, like I literally felt like my head
was gonna pop out of my skull.
So, speaking of Big Matt, I think,
I don't know if it's the same Big Matt,
but he was wondering what got you into welding.
That is just my family, my family business, my dad.
There's pictures of me
sitting on top of the welder and diapers and he's welding right
next to me. So he, he worked for another welding company for like
12 years before he started our family business, which was pro
welding, professional welding. And I was going to college, I
was going to be an English teacher. And I got going to college, I was going to be an English teacher and I got two years
in and realized that's not what I want to do.
And then I switched to art and did two years of that.
And I was like, this is not what I want to do either.
So I was like, why don't I just go work for the family?
And they did not want me to work there at first but and now I'm just kind of running
the show so that's convenient yeah cool man it's very cool well we got a lot of stuff here going
you're you know um uh so I believe because Keith is just logging in I will cover him for
Keith is just logging in, I will cover him for.
I got you.
Background is that.
It's the, I was, I don't even know.
It looks like it was the, the page for, uh, the meme account for my gym. Then I'm not sure why it's on my phone zoom.
Cause you're the meme page.
I'm really not.
I add admin reveal.
I loathe that meme page.
It makes it so much harder for me to tag my own fucking gems.
I got in.
Reveal.
I do.
I do appreciate the banter and the joke, but it makes my life so much harder on
Instagram.
Where does the nickname 80 cents come from?
Is that just a.
Oh God.
I knew that was coming.
Yeah.
So like I said, my initials, A.D.
and then people called me 80 and that turned into 80 cent
because in my high school period, 50 cent was really popular.
So. And I would occasionally have a couple of beers and start rapping, so.
No, I actually rapped for the first time in in a long time a couple of weeks ago. So
There's always that one guy at the party and he just goes up in your ear and he starts rapping
Oh, I was at karaoke. So it doesn't count. Oh, that's even better
Yeah, it was a pretty big crowd and this other lady wrapped and I was like, well no, I want to wrap
Actually in the video I posted today, I used Glorilla because I knew we were interviewing you today.
Very nice.
Like this is a this is for you, I guess, in some weird way.
So least fun, most fun.
I'm going to do that for Keith because he's kind of I got it.
I'm here.
Oh, OK.
I can't see you.
I'm just no, I'm I'm basically on my phone and I need to be able to look at the show
notes because my computer is completely frozen.
So I'm going to just be audio probably.
So, the game.
You had a damn new laptop.
Yeah, well, that's financially something
that someone should have done
instead of buying a bunch of orange fucking SPD equipment.
Probably, but that's okay.
The big Andy, I'm gonna hit you here.
Relatively new game we have here,
at least fun, most fun.
I'm gonna give you a general topic and you kind of just go through it and give me the least fun, most fun. I'm gonna give you a, you know, a general topic and you kind of just go through it
and give me the least fun and most fun thing about it.
So least fun, most fun doing your first power lifting me.
Oh, OK.
Um, least fun is.
Getting red lights for sure.
I just I did not know what I was getting into.
I went into a, a very strict meat that was very serious and I was expecting like some
lift hard, live easy vibes and it was not that at all.
It was not.
It was, it was USA right?
Yeah. and it was not that at all. It was not it was it was USAPL right? Yeah USAPL and it actually
Big Matt put me on to he told me about the guy Sabre that runs a meeting
He was like it's a great meet and it was it was so professional. It was awesome, but
there's just so many more rules that I didn't understand like
backing out I missed my first two squats because I backed out.
And when they gave me the squat command, I moved my feet again and they told me
to reread or bill, I didn't know that.
So, um, most fun is getting a total and having genuinely like the nicest people to like just help you with whatever.
Like everybody there when I was like, yeah, it's my first meet there.
Just like, come here.
Right.
Well, and also, you know, Ray Ray Williams helped me.
So that was so, that was surreal, man.
Money time, right?
It's money time, Ray Williams, right?
Yeah.
He saw me. He saw that I was struggling. He was like, dude,
since your first meeting, I was like, yeah, he was like, come on.
And he was the one giving me commands and telling me what to do. So
that's incredible. Yeah. It was awesome, man.
I think if you, if I had, um, some advice,
do one more before the lift hard, live easy,
because you'll never do another one after the Littard, live easy.
Cause they will never be as good.
But I'm pretty much, I'm pretty much retired now because like I've done so many here, I've
done two feds here and then did the lift hard, live easy.
And then I was like, it can be like this.
It doesn't have to be like that.
And it's as much as I, and
again, like even I don't want to put anything off of the ones I've done here. They even
reached out and asked me to volunteer at their meet this weekend when I'm in crew falls because
I love it there. I love the crew. I love the team, but like, it's just so different to
go to the lift, hardly easy and have all your friends and, and like,
there's no influencers and there's, it's just so different. You're just like,
it'll never be the same again. Yeah.
Watching the recap videos, watching the live stream. Cause I watched both of the live streams
and just being in the discord and talking to everyone while it's going on. I was like,
I had the worst from like, yeah,
maybe I should have done this.
Good. That's our goal.
We're the biggest marketing team as an omics has
all the unpaid interns.
Yep. Well, I'm sad I won't see you there, but, you know, maybe
one of the crew falls or the Arnold.
Yeah, for sure.
Arnold's in March.
It's not too far from you.
What is it?
15, 16 hours?
Yeah, it can't be that far.
Oh, wow.
So speaking of Virginia, did I know you had just mentioned Big Matt?
If I, you know, if I already, if it was already covered, you know, just ignore it. Have you met up with any of the crew or are you so far in the south that you're not even like close
to Murph or Matt? No, I, I saw when I was at the meet, I saw two cars with masonomic stickers and
I was like, sweet, like there's going to be crew in here. And then at the crew at the meet, there was
no one. But, and I thought big Matt might be there because he's like
he said he was like, I've done a bunch of Sabres meats and he
like he really got me to do that meat. And but no, I haven't met
with any other the only other crew members. There's a another
powerlifting gym over here, Southside Barbell and I see that
Masonomic was always reposting them.
And I was like, that's like four minutes from my shop,
but I've never met many of these people.
So. I don't know.
Yeah, well, maybe this podcast will help
find some more local crew that you didn't realize were there.
Possibly that's not, you know, it's it's that is crazy, though.
People have a mass nomic sticker on the truck or something.
And then like, they weren't recognizable because I don't know how many people
that like have that kind of branding on their vehicle that aren't as deep as we
are.
Well, they were both, they were two cars side by side and they had to
lift vinyl sticker.
I was like, that's like the OG one too.
So that would infuriate me.
That like, if I saw that and went into the building and was like looking around being like, okay, like,
who is it? Who is it? Who is it? Like that would bother me. I would go around to everybody and go,
is that your car? Is that your car? Is that your car? Like, yeah.
And that's the shirt, the sweatshirt that I had on was the massonomic sweatshirt. So I was like,
somebody is going to see this too. Somebody's got to see this. And I was, cause I was trying
to check off another one of my Hall of Fame list.
Of course.
Yeah. And you know what?
That's probably normies.
They just saw it and were like, oh, this is cool.
They were like, yeah, they bought the sticker first.
And then that's where it starts.
The cloud makeup starts.
So I know I heard a little bit about your business and all that and you know how you
got into the welding.
As someone who's getting into the strongman lately, what kind of strongman equipment have
you built in the past or is that something you guys, I know you're more power lifting
specific or are you doing some strongman equipment as well?
I want to.
When I first started training, like when this is like seven years ago, we were just
doing all of the weirdest stuff. Like we would have strongman days, we would have, but I
didn't, I didn't know what any of it was. So like the first thing, while the first thing
I built was a squat rack for my buddy. Uh, he lives two houses down. And then the next
thing he was like, can you build farmer hand or farmer handles? And I was like, yeah. And they sent
me a picture of them. So we were doing that like every week. And
then we got, you know, the big heavy sled pulls, we were doing
the rope sled pulls and stuff. And I was kind of doing strong
man stuff without knowing it. But, uh, yeah, the, uh, I have a really cool idea for some, uh, farmers
handles that I want to do too.
I wish I want to get some new strongman stuff.
Tom.
That's the spirit.
Jacobs are boring.
Let's do farmers handles and logs.
I'm debating on bringing my farmers handles handles downstairs. I've realized that if
I clear my benches out of the way and walk all the way from like basically one wall of
the house to the other wall of the house and into the laundry room, it's about 30 ish feet.
Like I mean, it was more like 36 but when you account like having to start where you're
at and like do the turn, I just call it kind of 30. So I just don't have a one I like you know I don't I'm gonna get like 20 feet with
them I have to sit them down and then turn around with them so yeah that's the
part that sucks is send them down but have you do you think you're ever gonna
make it to home gym Khan or you since you're more of a custom one-off stuff
like it's kind of you don't really have as much to display kind of you don't
like inventory to kind of take down a display I do I have stuff that I want to take like I
I'm getting ready to launch these the spotter arms and I was really it's just it's so hard with my regular business
to put time aside to do all that because
Yeah, I mean it's ideal. I've talked to Jake Tone and he sent me emails and he's like, I hate to keep hassling you.
And I'm like, man, I'm reading them.
And I, you know, he loves to bombard people, but you know, it's, it's his job.
He's got a, you know, that's his baby.
He's got to try to get as many vendors as he can.
So it makes sense.
Yeah.
And I would, I, I plan to, I won't probably won't this year, but I plan to once I get
the spider arm thing rolling.
And I just I want to have my goal by the end into this year is to have my website kind
of drawn down to a few more of the items that I do, like other stuff and then just kind
of next few things.
If you put it, if you had to put either, you know, either a percentage or like
do it in like hours a week, like how much is Brimmy versus your, your, your, your
actual business?
Like, I mean your other business, like, are you like 80 hours at your business
and 20 hours at Brimmy or like, is it like 80, 20, 70? Like, like how, how, how ever you want to equate it.
So we kind of understand how much effort you're putting into both.
Yeah, it's, I'd say it's probably about, about 80, 20, but the, the
differences is that with my regular workload, I I'm there doing that
planning there, I'm physically doing that planning there. I'm physically doing that.
And then I get home and bring me conversations
because I don't know if y'all know this,
but people love talking about home gym stuff.
I love that.
Yeah, I know one guy.
I get custom requests literally every day
and there are some of them come out and they work out. But sometimes it's just like, you
know, you have a four day conversation about a product
that you never make. Yeah, that's frustrating. But yeah,
now I and Brammy is that's that's my my passion project. And
now I'm trying to make that work. It would be awesome to
make it my full time gig, but there's so many
good people doing this stuff right now.
Like I love where it's at.
It's smaller and you know, I get to make really cool custom stuff
that people are happy with.
It's if it stays that way, it stays that way.
If it gets bigger, that's cool too.
That's it's a good mindset to have.
You're not like putting all your eggs in the one basket and then like kind of going off fuck. So
it's a you know, enjoy it and then you know, if you stop enjoying it walk away, I guess.
Speaking of baskets, are you still in the noon ball there?
Nice segue. Yeah, I'm learning from the best buddy. That was a good one.
I was supposed to be playing like literally right before this podcast is when I play and I went out there and they didn't have enough people tonight.
So I came home and cracked a beer.
But yeah, I play it.
We play my dad and my brother and his son.
So we have three generations of us out there playing basketball together.
How old's your dad?
He just turned 70.
Not too long.
Yeah.
That's a good for him. He's like legit playing pickup
ball. You're not just like kind of like, he's not just like
hanging at the fucking three point line waiting for someone
to pass him the ball. He's playing defense and shit as a
seven year old basketball man. It's and it's awesome. He's
just he's a beast man. He is the toughest dude that has ever
lived. So and he will never sell I mean, real quick, funny story on the side, like not funny, but he, uh,
he's got one of those e-bikes and he calls ass on it and he doesn't pay attention.
But, uh, he literally just hit a curve like two weeks ago and fell on his shoulder.
And he was out there playing ball the next day. Like,
dude, take a rest, man.
You're 70.
You can't be flipping over the handlebars with an E-bike.
Yeah, rest when you're 70.
That's when it gets ya.
Yeah, he's wild, man.
Yep, my dad's still going.
He's out there every day doing the backyard work,
doing the landscaping work.
That's good, man.
When you stop, that's when problems happen.
Exactly.
So when did you stop rollerblading?
Well, I don't know.
Do you have a definitive date
when you stop doing something?
That's one of those things that I wish
that I could still do, but no,
that falling down hurts really bad.
I used to love rollerblading.
So like you're you're it was my favorite.
I couldn't skate backwards.
That was the only thing I never picked up.
Yeah, I was doing jumps and twirls and ramps, but going backwards,
like if I had to like maintain the momentum now, I couldn't figure that shit out.
Yeah, I mean, I love rollerblading.
I love everything.
I love, you know, roller hockey. I love everything. I love roller hockey.
I love aggressive skating.
I loved all that stuff, dude.
But yeah, I mean, I was lifting still.
So it was probably like four or five years ago.
I fell really hard.
I hit a rail and I fell really, really hard.
And I was like, yeah, I don't know
if I wanna do this like that anymore.
So.
No, I don't blame you. I'm going 20 years ago. Like I stopped in my 20s.
Imagine falling down really hard right now. I'm going to agree.
Nah, that's not horrible.
No, it's not. I'm sure it'll happen.
Yeah, just have a couple more pints and
Yeah, just have a couple more pints and
so big Andy, who do you think has a more extensive shoe collection? You were a big Tanner.
Ooh, I hear you both like the, uh, you know, snazzy old basketball shoes.
Big shoe guys.
Yeah.
I didn't, I didn't know you had a,
I don't know how big of a collection is. He might literally own two pairs of shoes.
I just feel like he talks about them a lot or they have, Hey, they've had
episodes where they go in depth about like, you know, like early nineties
basketball shoes and stuff.
Yeah.
And they, they both shock me.
Like when they talk about that stuff and they know like the specific models
or like players of it, I was like, I didn't take them as like shoe or they're talking about like the starter
jackets and all that stuff the other week.
And I was like, think either one of y'all would really be into this stuff.
But I got a pretty good shoe collection, but I don't have anything like crazy expensive.
I just buy a lot of shoes and it's gotten worse with lifting too, because now there's
so many.
We need to squat shoes.
You need flats.
You need fucking a general purpose.
If you have to go to commercial gym or something, you don't really want to,
you know, be the guy that's, I don't know.
I still, I take barefoot and squat shoes with me pretty much
any gym I go to at this point.
That's how I am too.
But, and then like, I'm still trying to run some too.
I want to stay somewhat active and running shoes are crazy expensive.
So yeah, that sucks. Lifters and running shoes are just that's what kills me. And those are
my favorites. So I actually wore running shoes for the first time in like two years the other
day because I was on my feet for 12 hours. Just foot prisons. No foot prisons. Never again. Going back to barefoot. Even
if I have to get barefoot shoes that have a little extra padding.
That sounds like an oxymoron, doesn't it?
You know, because you can still get the wide toe box.
I gotcha.
Why you would just have, because I have a pair that's not barefoot, like we're on
barefoot, you know, like our friend. Yeah.
But and they actually don't have a discount code with.
Yes. Yeah.
That was so bad.
And it has a little bit of like rubbery padding at the bottom
just to make them a little more comfortable.
I got you. Yeah.
Yeah, I'm definitely a little wide.
I wear the tolos about 90 percent of the time.
That's because basement Brandon put me on to those.
Okay.
Um, so you decided to build a motorcycle one day.
Why?
Yeah.
The mini bike.
Uh, yeah, that thing is ratchet, man.
That, that was one of those when I used to just have all the time in the world to tinker.
And I had a pressure washer motor and I decided to build a motorcycle frame and put it on
there and the rest is history.
It's dangerous.
That was one of those things where you and your friends are dumb and you have beers and
you get run.
So it's a, it's still in the shed.
I still got it back there, but the wife, she doesn't like it. She wants me to sell it.
It's the loudest thing you will ever hear, man.
It's just, it's insanely loud.
And like everybody in the neighborhood comes outside when I turn it off.
That's funny.
That's always, that was deep dive in your Facebook there a little bit
and you and Instagram, I saw like multiple still images of like, uh, just
like, uh, motorcycle frames or I guess custom, like pedal bike frames.
Uh, it looks like you, you've done some, some, some many a custom, uh, you
know, low riding bikes and whatnot.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah.
Back in the day, that was, uh, we, everybody used to get beach cruisers
cause you know, we're 30 minutes from the ocean front, so you would just
get your beach cruiser and go park and ride the boardwalk or we always have
like free concerts on the beach and stuff down here.
So you park at a buddy's house and ride your bike down there.
And everybody had something weird.
It was always usually it was spider webs and stuff back then I got a, I had one
that had like a big diamond in it and all sorts of stuff.
So it was cool.
That was fun.
I used to love building those.
Nice.
Um, it looks like you're the literal like 69th crew
member that played bass in their youth. I think we've I think
we've had at least a literal like the 69 isn't accurate, but
it's been over 10. I feel at least someone can correct me.
But we've had many a bass player on the podcast. So I guess you
still play any instruments you still or you know, or was that
just more of a young man's game? No, I still got one out there. I don't pick it up as much, man. I
started taking acoustic lessons when and later in life. I mean, that was probably five years ago.
And I still pick it up and play occasionally. But I really suck, man. It's like so different from bass.
I was I was pretty good at bass, but
I always did percussion and bass in high school.
And I was way better at those things and acoustic.
I just don't understand.
I know I'm really fat hands, but.
I don't know, man, it's just a different thing.
It's it's way harder than both those
I've never been the the musical type. So I can't relate all that much, but I definitely uh, you know, we've had a lot of
musical, you know
Inspired, you know people that have done that either as a hobby or pretty in depth
We've got a read of many accrues, you know
Been in bands like you like more in depth and just like your high school band, too
There's been a lot of guys that like, you know, we're in bands into their like 20s and 30s. I feel
There's a lot of bass players in powerlifting period
Well, it's like you know, like the old ad like isn't the bass players like always kind of like playing second fiddle
So, you know that just seems like the guy that would like be the gym
bro, like, you know, the, the, the, the lead singer and the guitarist is the one
getting all the girls and like not getting rejected. So they don't have that
like internal drive to go to the gym and like, you know, fill that broken heart
void with, with, with weight training. So I mean, I think there might be some
correlation there.
Yeah. We just. Yeah, we just
We got 50,000 bass players in the powerlifting world
late singers So with your with your fat fingers as you have yourself proclaimed
here it says that you can sew or are we talking like, you know threaded needle or you just sewing machine because I
Don't know who that I'll put that out there
I can you just saw in machine because I don't know who that put that out there.
I can, um, I can so yeah, I mean, that's what it says.
I have said things before.
Um, I burned my jeans a lot. I get holes in everything from welding.
So I saw everything.
Uh, yeah. I'm guessing that's what they're talking about got some raggedy pants on that were.
I mean you're you catch yourself on fire all day long do you know what are you supposed to do do not wear like have you not even got just some nice fire retardant pants anything know those were super expensive, but I figured you do that for a living.
You'd buy like two or three pairs of those and you're good for the week.
Did you say something about a laptop and you bought SBD stuff instead?
I might've needed new pants, but I probably bought a barbara.
That's I can, I can relate to that.
Obviously.
As my computer is still having a seizure
in the fucking corner, I just wanted to restart
and it's just dying over there.
Buddy, you look, talking to you right now
is like talking to my girlfriend in my teens.
Like you're laying on your bed
with your hand over your head, the blurry camera.
It's the best.
I had to turn my video, turn my video off.
I didn't realize it was on video.
That's frustrating. I just, I'm not, turn my video off. I didn't realize it was on video. That's frustrating.
I just, I'm not gonna sit at my desk.
Like I can't look at my laptop,
so I'm not gonna sit in the chair.
Like there's no point.
You need to update your MySpace, man.
I literally know, I was updating my goddamn computer
since like fucking 5.30 this afternoon.
And it's like, I don't know why it's fucking,
I don't know, I'm very annoyed.
Very, very annoyed.
So who do you think eats more eggs?
You retainer.
I don't know.
That's I know he eats a lot, but, dude, I eat a whole lot of eggs.
I eat.
I know we buy.
At least 54 eggs a week.
Holy, that's a lot. Yeah, I, cause every, I do meal prep
every Sunday and I cook 30 that's for my breakfast during the week. But then I also just cook
eggs randomly. Yep. Because my son will eat egg sandwiches on and my wife, she hardwails on but it's a superfood.
It really is.
I did I know.
I actually haven't talked to you guys since.
Have you ever heard of heard of Freak?
Mm hmm.
Mm hmm. OK.
So I learned about this through an anti influencer influencer guy.
It's essentially quinoa,
except it doesn't taste like sand, right?
So it's a bit thicker.
It's like a young green wheat.
But I was looking at the macros,
I threw it up in Discord.
It's got something like 14 grams of protein per quarter cup.
It's got, yeah, the manganese is illegally insane. Like I was looking at these macros
and I turned to my wife and I was like, I want this like that is the true superfood
for me. Yeah. Yeah. So we went and found that we made that last week. Yeah. It's from the
it's from the Middle East. It's grown in Egypt and and and like Palestine and those areas up there.
And yeah, you make it like rice,
but it tastes a little earthier and a little better,
but the macros are incredible.
Hell yeah.
Did you listen to the Thanksgiving episode?
I listened to about a quarter of it.
All right, so did you get to the deviled eggs part?
I believe so. Where do get to the deviled eggs part? I believe so.
Where do you fall on deviled eggs?
I, are you mean scants level where no plate left behind or
no, man, that's a different thing. I would say, yeah. I mean,
I'm probably where you and scants are, but I don't know.
Deviled eggs is just a whole different food to me, man.
My wife tried to make ones and she put crunchy mustard, you know, like that mustard that
has like full mustard seeds.
Oh no.
Yeah.
And she brought it to me.
She's like, here, try this.
And I took a bite and I, you know, I love the girl, but I gagged like, what did you
put in this?
And she's like, I didn't have regular mustard.
And I was like, but we got on the subject of deep fried deviled eggs.
Maybe that I've never seen them anywhere,
but one restaurant here in my city, yeah, they take the egg
part and they deep fry it with a batter.
And then they add the cold yolk, slice of bacon,
and some chives.
I would, it's so good.
It's the best version of eggs I think I've ever had.
I'm in for that.
All right. Keith is still here.
Nope. All right. All right. All right. All right.
So F.M.K.
I'm here. OK. Sorry. I know I get out of F. K. I'm here.
Okay. Do you?
Sorry.
I know I get out of it.
Okay.
Uh, so I want to do the, uh, the one up.
Shit.
Here it is.
Uh,
make sure Andy's still here.
Everybody's internet sucks.
You guys need that Canadian internet.
Give me one.
Where's the fuck you gonna go?
Okay.
Andy, you there, buddy?
Nope. Okay. So no Andy. are you there, buddy? Nope.
Okay.
So no Andy.
So let's, so he's back now.
Oh, sorry.
Go.
Hey buddy.
We were going to hit you with a little FMK.
Okay.
All right.
So another relatively new game that we came up with all by ourselves here.
So fuck Mary kill a big Andy.
We're going to go with Peggy Hill.
Marge Simpson, Lois Griffin.
That's the one I was going to go with too. That's a good call.
Yeah, I know you like the rush more more than FMK. So I saw that you just weren't here. Yeah, yep. Yeah. Right here.
Oh, we're definitely Mary and Peggy Hill. Yeah. She would
definitely hold it down. Um, if I have to go Lois, I think
loose Lois,
large man margins, she was, she was maybe on board for Mary to
Yeah.
She was maybe on board for Mary too. Yeah.
I think that's what I would have to do though.
Mary.
Oh yeah.
Mary.
Man, that's tough.
It is tough.
I've since I saw that this afternoon, I was like, oh man, that is a, I don't know what
I would do with that.
I mean, I wouldn't marry Lois though.
I was about to bring up a good argument because she's a Peter Schmidt.
Why wouldn't you marry into the richest family in Rhode Island?
But she's not faithful, man. That's true.
I don't think I've ever, I don't think I've seen Family Guy past like the first like three seasons,
honestly. God damn it. It's been a while since I've watched Family Guy. I used to own like,
I did, I did own like in like, you know,
the early 2000s the first like three season or five maybe five seasons, but definitely not nothing past like 2007.
I fall asleep to Family Guy and it makes my wife very mad.
Is it still getting episodes? I have no clue.
Yeah.
Oh wow.
It's like, it's.
I feel like everybody back then had that box set with like the first seven seasons.
Yeah, I don't like that.
Every dude around our age had that box that and it just played all time.
All right. Good answers. Good answers.
Do you want to do Mount Rushmore?
Do you want to go to another?
No, it's a really a fact.
Well, because Mount Rushmore is going to bore Keith again.
I'm good. Because it's about wrestling.
Again, after being there's like seven. Oh, no, I have my idea. I read all of these and I was like,
I know the one I want to do. And the thing about it is like,
obviously the crossover between strength athletes and wrestling is going to be
like a flat circle. There's a lot of us that are into it, have been into it.
Some of us are lifters because of it, right? Like, it's got to be there. So
one of the challenges is finding different questions to ask. I might have asked this
already, but I think we're gonna ask you the same one. I'm going to go the Mount Rushmore
of attitude era heels. Ooh, that's tough because there's so many that are kind of heels that aren't really
heels.
Is the rock considered a heel in that era?
Yeah, like for sure.
Yeah.
Well then obviously the rock.
When he first like left the nation.
Yeah.
Right. That was that was rock. That was heel rock with the thousand dollar shirts.
Yeah, but also wasn't stone cold originally a heel around that time era, but he no I would say he started as an attempt at a heel as the ringmaster. Yeah. And then the moment the Austin three 16 says, I just whooped your ass that launched him
into stardom.
And then he became a, he couldn't be a heel if he tried.
Oh, well, man, what about, uh, it's gold dust to heal then.
Oh, fuck it.
People I'd say gold dust would be on there, man.
Cause that was like the one that.
You know, you wanted him in the matches, but everybody hates people
hate it because he made you uncomfortable.
Yeah.
And that was like the first guy that was doing all that stuff, but he was,
oh my God, he was like the ultimate.
There's a sound argument that he actually started the attitude era because he did that before the Austin 316 thing. Yeah. So like a lot of people say Austin started it, but if you
really look at what he was doing where he was like being just really homosexual and making people
uncomfortable and like androgynous like just ruining every promo to like he would just jump in and
ruin a promo for somebody to.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That, that the original gold dust, I would give you that one too.
Um, what other heels, man?
Oh, there's one you're missing.
This one you're missing so hard.
Who?
Trip.
Triple H is the greatest heel of that era.
When he married Stephanie McMahon, like it was the cerebral assassin, not the game.
He was a heel, but he was also like leading the entire thing.
So he had charge of creative, but at the same time, like he was, he was fun to hate everything he did to test.
And he did lead it with Stephanie McMahon.
Like that dude was such a piece of shit.
So long.
Yeah.
But everything DX was just like, yeah, not do wrong.
That's when he stopped being a heel.
Yeah.
He went from the cerebral assassin, the game to Triple H.
He wasn't Hunter Hershelmsley anymore. He was Triple H.
That's where everything gets blurry with me because like that, I don't know, that time period, it's just like, I don't even remember hating Triple H.
I don't remember. I don't even remember hating Goldust. I was just always laughing so hard.
Oh yeah.
It's like he would just come and ruin a promo, dude.
He would come and just do something so insane that everybody would be like,
what is this? Is wrestling like what is like?
What he would do like the rubbing his body.
Oh God. Yeah.
And just randomly kissing a dude.
Oh yeah. When he kissed him or no, he gave on that Johnson CPR and I met Johnson lost his mind.
Oh, yeah. Yeah. All the gold makeup all over his face.
And then for I mean, I probably have to say Vince.
I mean, oh, yeah. Yeah. Because he was like, man.
Yeah, he was the leader of everything. So, I mean, of all yeah, because he was like, man, yeah, he was the leader of everything.
So I mean, of all the heels and God, I do, I do remember hating him.
I just wanted people to get in the ring and kill him up until he was unveiled as the,
the mastermind of the ministry. Yeah. At that point he jumped the shark and people stopped caring. People were just like, oh, stupid. It was me, Austin. Nobody cares, man.
So that's a pretty solid Mount Rushmore, I'd say. Yeah. I think you had gold dust, rock,
gold dust, vents and trip. Yeah. Oh, I gave you a trip, so if you want to put it on, that's awesome.
But if you got another one. Yeah, I'll leave him on man.
He was a good one. I just I hated Hunter Hearst Hemsley.
Yep. He he he drug Stephanie McMahon.
Got her married at like that's heel shit.
Dude, all that stuff back then is just so insane.
That Ben's McMahon documentary is just like, yeah, diabolical thing you can watch.
I don't you know, I'll be honest, I think they were soft on them.
Really? Yeah, I think they can shit all over on you would say no.
I think they were a little soft on him, to be honest. And because I read all the reviews about how it was the worst takedown of Vince McMahon.
And then I was like, no, actually, they were kind of nice to him.
Like, they still kind of solidified his legacy.
Yeah. Talked about, you know, how important he was.
Then they talked about the shitty stuff he did.
And then at the end, they were still like but by
The way he is still Vincent fucking Kay McMahon
They filmed it like up until because the allegations were still going on like when they finish it, right? Yeah
Yeah, that's about the time where he was like, I don't want to interview anymore when those when that one came out the big one
Horrible it was all stuff everybody kind of already talked about.
Yeah.
And then the testimony came out about like, no, it really happened.
All right.
That's what I had.
Oh, somebody asked me if you this is really funny because this is poignant to me.
Do you do you have a Mount Rushmore of influencers?
Me?
Yeah, somebody put it in here and I'm just like, I'm interested to hear that
because I fucking hate influencers.
Oh man, the home gym influencers?
Yeah, let's go home gym influencers that are diet influencers.
They're also the worst.
Well, then we got to throw a big Keith on there.
I'm not up there.
No, I'm not.
Clearly, he's an influencer.
Look at what you made Tanner do.
He bought all those York plates because of you.
He used, he used your code for his barbell brushes, man.
Like that's influencer shame.
I still get a few of those every now and then.
I still put, yeah, I, I just totally realized too. I have a banner that I try to order from plate snacks for y'all and I never place the order.
I just got an email for it.
So I got to go back and do that.
I love how you so like, I don't know if his black Friday deal is still going on.
So you just the, well, I guess now you can use code unpaid because I don't, I don't know if he allowed stacking of discounts.
So you missed out on the 25% off and you have to settle for 10. He might still, I don't know if you, that's
really funny though. I'm not sure. Uh, I don't know if he has like a cyber week deal or not,
or it was just, you know, last week, look at you just influencing away, dude. Yep.
There's actually, there was a shirt I really wanted for tonight and I was hoping it would get here for crew falls
But it essentially said it doesn't essentially it says I might be a piece of shit, but at least I'm not a social media influencer
So I'm hoping it arrives in time to wear next weekend nice. Yeah
Well, then I guess yeah basement Brandon's gotta go on there
He's good, dude. Yeah, well then I guess, yeah. Basement Brandon's got to go on there. He's good, dude.
Yeah, he's good, dude.
Um, what it's, uh, on the okay.
Podcast.
Oh, they always say good dude.
We're after the guest goes off.
Dude.
Hilarious.
All right.
Um, you gotta put a coupon there.
Do I?
Yeah.
There's feelings on that one.
Oh, yeah.
I've seen Keith on many a post on that one.
I've relented some of my aggressive.
Yeah.
He's OK, man.
I've got my individual things with him, too, but.
It is what it is.
Yeah.
Who cares, is. Yeah. And who cares? Right?
Yeah. Fourth was my fourth.
Who can be a fourth?
Hmm.
You got good luck.
You got Adam, you got.
I know I was.
It was either going to be between Glock or Carp.
Yeah. I was going to say Carp up there. Yeah, I'd have to put Glock on there, man. I've actually taken a be between Glock or carp. Yeah. I was gonna say Clark up there.
Yeah. I'd have to put Glock on there, man.
I've actually taken a lot of Glock's advice and it's really cool seeing them.
The progress he's made his for sure.
Yeah.
Razy now.
Like it just, I feel so bad that like his construction costs so much more money
and was like so much more time consuming than they expected because he lived on a fucking boulder and then he got like, you know
the one thing I will bust his balls about was like the end on one of their videos it might have even just been in the
you know in the patreon they were kind of given their their contractors a hard time because they
Got an initial quote to do all the drywall with like they the guys didn't know there was all that gym equipment in there
So when they came to come to the drywall with like they the guys didn't know there was all that gym equipment in there. So when
they came to come to the drywall, it was fucking full of
equipment, like the quote, like doubled or tripled or
something, because they would have had to fucking like work
around all this shit. And he didn't seem to understand that.
I was like, Well, I mean, I kind of understand that, like, you're
making the job significantly more challenging than what it
would be. So like, you can't just roll scaffolding around
now. And now you got to like work around all this fucking
huge obstacles, like it should be more money
Maybe not to the extent of what they you know did the bid at but I don't know
I guess I remember getting a kick out of that
Yeah, no, and also you're hanging drywall over pieces of equipment that are five and six thousand dollars a piece like you don't I
Understood that one when I was watching I was like, yeah, they're probably right. Yeah.
But yeah, I didn't know any of that, by the way. I didn't know any of that. I have no clue what you guys are talking about.
I have no I have no clue what's happening right now.
That's not been influenced enough.
No, I'm definitely not being influenced enough. That's a very true statement most of my days. Well, yeah, I put Glock on there. So Keith Brandon, who Glock, there you go.
I don't, I don't, I don't belong in that sentence, but I'll take it. Thank you. You've got more
followers than me. Yeah. My gym does. I, you edge me out on my personal, but my gym edges you out.
I think a couple possibly, which is funny that my gym is more
fucking followers than my personal.
Your, your Mount Rushmore would be, have to be the, the Keith face.
Is it?
Hold on.
Wait, wait, wait.
Yeah.
Oh, did you see the one I kind of like, I usually don't like feed into it too much because it's kind of weird having my face on shit
But like when David put my face as the Christmas tree topper. I about like I about pissed myself laughing so hard
I loved it and I would love for other crew to do that. Yeah
It's just for the picture and then take it down. I think that'd be great to see I was like, hey
Can I make a Keith head ornament and she she honestly said no period. Like there was no,
and I was like, I'm fucking good. Like, like it's gonna happen.
There's like three behind you. So you can just, there's one behind me. There's this one here.
There's two in my gym. You just put a paper clip through one of those and hang it up.
Attached to a piece of steel or magnet or something. Yeah, there's two in my gym. You just put a paper clip through one of those and hang it up. You'll be fine. Attached to a piece of steel or a magnet or something.
Yeah, absolutely.
Oh, that's like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I forgot to bring this up.
This is the one year anniversary of the Keith's head picture.
Coming up this weekend.
It will be, yeah.
Yeah, absolutely.
It was at the last Crew Falls that you took that stupid picture up your nose.
And I was just like, and I was like,
why am I looking up your nose for this picture?
Cause I'm allowed to be in it because I'm an excellent one of the Davids.
I think the first person to put your face on another photo and it hasn't ended
like, and he's even still got Tanner. Like I think he's done a reorder.
Oh, he had to like, there's no way he's got a whole stack of them.
No, he only had a hundred to begin with. And I know he's given a hundred out.
I've seen fucking pictures of a hundred and he had a whole fucking stack in the
video. They all, he posted the video on discord of like trying to get his
daughter to take it to school or something for like show and tell her
something like that. And she was like like no, I don't know Keith. I don't know. I don't know Keith. It's just like oh my god
This is such a it says such a mind of its own. It's wild. Oh, yeah that went crazy with that one picture of the dollar store
Tell me
Somebody's like why is that baby look so mad and they put your head over?
Why is that baby look so mad and then put your head over the baby? Like that was hilarious.
That was good.
It was really good.
And then like, you know,
when my lap pulled on has stickers like everywhere.
So I think I,
you have to, you have to come to these, you know, well, I actually don't,
I'm not the keeper of the Keith head sticker. That's a Tanner thing,
but if you need a unpaid underrated, well, we'll, we'll get you some stickers,
mailed out for unpaid underrated shortly. We have big Jeff on that.
Just check that was part of my my Friday order to order the unpaid underrated shirt. Yeah.
Hey, nice. Appreciate that. And I'm always so glad when they do the Black Friday sale.
Like every time they do a discount shirt and ours isn't included in the discount, I get very, very happy because like, it's going to be a sad day when there's like
two left in a couple of years. And they're just like, all right, this
podcast is over, something happened, Joey and Keith broke up and we got to get
rid of these shirts. We're gonna put them on like seven dollars. And I'm
gonna like see our shirt on like $7 clearance. I'm gonna be like,
motherfucker. So every time I ever time I still see it at full price, it makes
me happy.
So every time I still see it at full price, it makes me happy. Yeah.
I agree.
It's a cool shirt.
And it looks like it fits a lot.
Like everyone who wears it, it looks like it fits them great.
So I was like, that was what sold me.
I mean, it's the same blank.
So I mean, it should.
They're all the same blank.
They're all the same blank.
You're right.
All right.
Should we move into the underrated?
Yeah, I think I've, I've throw enough stuff in unpaid.
We both got something to pick from and you got a couple in there. So, uh,
all right. Uh, big Andy, are you familiar with unpaid or underrated?
You need to explain the rules to you.
I don't think I could figure it out. All right. So, you know,
just if, if your family or friends are listening for the first time,
similar to overrated or underrated where you kind of, you know, pick, pick one or the other. This is, So, you know, just if your family or friends are listening for the first time, similar to overrated or underrated, where you kind of, you know, pick, pick one or the other. This is a, you know, just substitute unpaid for overrated. So anything you think overrated will call unpaid and anything that's underrated will still be underrated. So big Andy, I want to know your opinion unpaid or underrated taking half court shots at high school in high school. And if there's any funny stories that correspond to that.
Oh my God. i know exactly who's done this um yeah that's definitely underrated um
it's a horrible story i uh it's better than the other story we got submitted that i'm not gonna
ask about so yeah and i was worried about that with a lot of my friends, man. But, um,
yeah, no story for that one. I, uh, in high school, we were doing,
well, I think it was $1 bet. We were betting a dollar on who would hit the
half course shot first. And, uh, I mean, we were launching and just getting
further and further back. And like the whole there's like six classes in the gym,
and I just launched it and this girl was in the doors
right behind it, which is a terrible spot.
And I hit her in the face.
And no, no, no.
And I was friends with her.
But it was one of those things where like the record stopped and
like everybody was looking when this happened. It followed me. I was the biggest asshole of all time.
But yeah, it killed her. It was, it took her head off.
Yeah. Once again, welcome to Unpaid and Underrated, where we make you relive past
trauma over and over and over again
What lucky I didn't know that was on there
Well, it was better than the the other story that I saw probably but like damn it
So are we gonna so that sounds like it's unpaid
For the final rating are we gonna go underrated I
Think I'm gonna do underrated because making a half core shot is the best thing ever.
Nice.
Have you ever actually ever made one or just this story?
Yeah, I know I've made a bunch of them but.
Okay.
I knew that that was tied to that story.
Yes sir.
All right.
Unpaid or underrated. So I'm asking this
because I'm guessing, are you a Celtics fan? Yes. Okay. So a
West Virginia alum, Joe Missoula, your head coach, what
do you think unpaid or underrated? I think he's in his
second year now, third year, second year.
Yeah, he is underrated, man, that he makes me laugh so hard.
And I don't know if I'm sure it's just a show
the way that he acts, but his,
just every interview is gold.
He's just like, yeah, whatever.
Yeah, did you see it?
Yeah, it was good.
Very Bill Belichick style.
But yeah, I'd say he's underrated.
That's awesome.
Yeah, I've loved to see his success as like, so he's roughly my age.
I'll be a little, he's a little younger even, but he was playing like, like I grew up in
a college town and he was like one of the players on that team for several years.
I think he ended up being like a six year player between a red shirt and a medical red
shirt.
So, you know, I'm sure I cross pass with him at some point, you know, when I'm in a bars
downtown at one point.
Uh, that's awesome.
Yeah.
All right.
Untied or underrated.
What do you think about the Dodge Magnum?
Oh my God.
I'd say for everybody else that's ever owned it besides me, I'd say it's unpaid,
but, uh, mine was underrated. I, I don't
know how I acquired this thing. Well, I know how I had sold a
truck. And I was walking outside of my parents house and there
was a Dodge Magnum on 26 inch rims and like fully decked out.
And it said like $5,000 in the window.
And I was like, how?
And this was back when it was like a brand new
Dodge Magnum station wagon.
And I was just like, I was my now wife.
Then I was like, this is a crazy car,
but like that's a steal.
And I went and talked to the guy. He's like, yeah. You
know, my mom just died. We're moving out of state. I got to
get rid of it. And I was like, all right. So I had me a dub
down, touch man with TVs and everything. It was it was
something to be seen.
It looked like a her.
Everybody called it the hearse.
It was a big black black tinted windows with 26 inch chrome wheels.
And I'm I was having it.
But it was horrible.
I could imagine talking like like if you got 10, you were happy.
Yeah, yeah.
We were I think it had a V8 in it.
Yeah. Yeah.
I mean, it was it was a dumb purchase, but I think I sold it for like 13 or $14,000.
That was an investment.
Yeah, it was a came up.
So I was definitely not unpaid on that.
I was underrated.
Nice.
A lot of investment talk this week.
Yeah.
All right.
I'm going to I'm going to pass the baton over to Joey.
All right.
Easy unpaid or underrated mismatch stall mats.
Oh my gosh, man.
I saw that on Instagram.
I was like, I gotta ask about that.
I know the one.
So when I started, all they had was the diamond
Wait like I was telling you about Tommy how it's hilarious that he thinks he's stopping and he just keeps buying more stall man
Everybody everybody thinks they're done. Yeah, I'm done. I don't need anything else
yeah, and then you get eight more stall match, but you have some diamond and some smooth and
Yeah, if you see half my videos, I wish I could,
probably could, but I could just turn the camera around.
I have one stall mat that's diamond right in the middle of all this.
That would actually infuriate me. Yeah.
So I flip it upside down or something. I'd be so fucking mad at that.
Yeah. I'm just waiting. And then the tractor supply up here never has a smooth one.
So your best bet and like for the advice is like the only,
the only way I've been able to like end up pairing up
matching stall mats,
cause like the tractor supply is no use anymore.
And without restarting altogether, it's just marketplace.
Like you have to just get lucky enough to find
the right design when someone's selling marketplace stall mats.
So just start looking at stall mats like,
like regularly on marketplace and keep your fingers crossed.
Yeah. And I was, I was doing that, but I was becoming that guy.
That's like, if somebody has listened like bumper plates and that ground,
I'm like, are you selling the stall mats? I've done that. Yep. I did that a lot.
Like why the hell are you asking about that? No, I'm selling the stall math? I've done that. I did that a lot. Like, why the hell are you asking about that? No, I'm selling the weights. That's good stuff. One of these Yeah, unpaid makes me that sucks.
Unpaid or underrated Dead Island.
Dude, very underrated. That I played it. It's so good. The new one is just incredible, man. I I've played it through this. I've never played a video. Well, I played the last of us. I played that through twice. I played this dead on. I think this is my fourth playthrough.
Are you playing VR?
No, it's just PS five. But they just did a big story update. So it's like, it
came back out and really completely redone. So now my son
won't let me play VR. That's his I bought it for him. And he's
like, damn it. Drain the battery and don't put on the charger.
It was like, yeah, that's fair. Yeah, I can see that being
bothersome to a child. But at the same time, I paid for that
out of the way.
My wife definitely makes fun of me when I'm playing the VR too.
But like every zombie game on that is definitely scary. I don't care what anybody says.
It's like, you know, you just they come around and you feel a vibration and.
What's your what's your favorite zombie game?
I've all like the artists.
No, just in general.
If it's not Dead Island, I'd probably say there's a really weird one called Days Gone.
There were years. I don't know.
I've played that, I think.
Yeah, you're like a messed out biker.
And it was like open world, like Grand Theft Auto.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I played that.
Yeah, that one was super fun.
It had when it first came out, I had a bunch of bugs and nobody really wanted.
It got terrible ratings because of that.
But the preview for that, because there was like there was like a YouTube
like, you know, like like a walk, not a walkthrough, but like a teaser.
And the teaser made the game look fucking amazing.
Like it was going to be better than, you know, last of us.
And then when you get it, it's like, Oh, it's not as good.
Yeah.
And then they fixed it.
That's the thing is I bought it after, like they fixed all the bugs
and it was a lot better.
Gotcha.
The last of us is always, I mean, you know, it's that one's just incredible,
but I don't even classify that as zombie sometimes.
Me either.
Uh, resident evil is not on there.
Oh yeah.
I mean, if we're going back, like, dude, if you go back to like the original
resident evil, I played that for hours and hours and hours.
Yeah.
I, I'm resident evil too.
I must've played for way too much.
Um, they're releasing, uh, the legacy of Kane.
Oh, really?
Soul Reaver.
That's coming out as a remake.
And I was like, that was one of my favorite games of all time on PS1.
And I can't wait.
Yeah, I'm going to buy that.
I don't care what happens.
Did you ever see Resident Evil The Village?
I played that, yeah.
That was really... Evil, the village and played that. Yeah, that was a really it was not Resident Evil.
Ask, but it was it was really scary.
No, I don't know.
I don't know that one.
Resident Evil five was scary as shit.
Yeah, I don't think I during COVID.
So like the whole world kind of.
Yeah, I actually I don't even think I finished that game
because it was just too hard and I got annoyed.
And those are a lot of those Resident Evil games are crazy. I don't even think I finished that game because it was just too hard and I got that annoyed.
A lot of those Resident Evil games are crazy hard. Yep. All right. Unpaid or underrated, this is my last one. Lil Jon.
Man, Lil Jon is, he's underrated.
Yeah.
It's the kings of Croc. That was like our, our, you know, every high school
dance or anything after that was all little John and the East side boys.
You just can't listen to one of those songs and not be really happy. That's why I was really
shocked when I saw Tommy went to see him. It was just him. This is just him.
But I thought the same thing.
I was like, he's not going to come out rap.
He doesn't really say much.
But. Yeah, no, he's definitely underrated.
That's like the ultimate hype of music.
Yep. Yeah, I've gotten into some trill lately.
Right. I brought up glow really earlier.
That song is a remake of
white me down. White me down is an incredible song like that. That
gets me amped. Like if I'm like, I'm ready to go to work, I'm
ready to go to the gym. Like I'm listening to white me down right
now. That's my amp song.
Anything boozy is is definitely
not you had to wipe yourself down last week after you sneaked on your junk. Correct. song. Anything boozy is definitely up there.
You had to wipe yourself down last week after you sneaked on your junk.
Correct.
All right. That does it. I think you won unpaid and underrated.
You did it. You passed.
We can hear it.
Yeah, we can hear the episode.
All right. Do you have anything for us?
No, I just love that you guys are doing this.
It's very cool.
Um, it's awesome to have more to listen to. Massonomics was y'all do a really good job and the, the work doesn't go on
notice because I know a lot of this stuff does take a lot of hard work.
So it's very cool.
It's very cool.
What y'all do, bringing everybody together. And I hope that, you know, I get to
see everybody at a lift hard, live easy, classic three.
I think they make a mistake if they don't go with lift hard,
live three easy, three easy. That's why I genuinely think
that's a mistake. And Tanner, I know you're gonna listen, just
just putting it out there. We've had live three easy. Let's do
it. I don't is it I don't know. I don't love it. Is it
Get it. Is it is it just that it's a play on words? Yeah, it's literally the word three
Get it I just like things
Everything just be like, you know, the third live easy one. My first is he to the third is he three just to keep it simple
Why do you hate fun?
I see.
Or see five, see six.
I like organization and consistency more than, than anarchy, I guess.
It's more likely to push Tanner to three easy now. That's it's possible that's the next year drop this is
three easy on the front we're gonna launch the new slides they're gonna be three z's
my my my goal though for next year is i want i want lift heart or sorry i want uh i want crew
falls to get so big that we basically force them to have to make a shirt for it like like if there's
like at least like i mean if we have 50 60 people are there this year and
Next year's potentially a hundred because I mean doesn't they really only need to sell a hundred shirts to like justify an order
Yeah
But also like I don't know if crew falls could handle a hundred because I give them they'd be so unreal
It'd be so much harder to realistically like do food and like gathering to be like, you're booking restaurants at that. That's what I'm like,
I'm concerned with even like the 40 or 50 we're going to have or whatever it ends up being. So,
but I think enough people are going to kind of miss, uh, like, you know, the, the, the,
the pizza and shit that like, I think it's going to be staggered enough that really it's just
Saturday. Uh, it's just, you know, we're going to see if the Los Campionos can handle all of this
like at one time.
So it's just going to be a great weekend.
They could also still have the winter me the cool beans classic.
I threw that in the discord.
No, I will.
It's bad enough to try to get to fucking Sioux falls in the first week of December, get into
fucking Aberdeen even later into the year.
No, thank you. Oren even later into the year. No, thank you.
Or later, later into the winter that is.
They could do crew falls and then a week later had the cool beans classic.
So it's just a week's worth of massive.
I ain't got that much PTO
or Keith just hosts it.
I would love to do that.
Gets a federation into his basement.
Higher lifting. I'd probably go to that. Unsanctioned. I just. I would love to do that. Gets a federation into his basement. Powerlifting.
I'd probably go to that.
Unsanctioned.
I just, I would, if we can get the crew organized enough, I could easily get
enough, you know, 10, 10, 15 people down here.
Be great.
Last week of October, first week of November, Keith hosts a big unsanctioned
meet in his basement.
There's a huge chance I'm showing up.
It's the cool beans classic.
I would be there. No, you heard it here he committed that's closer to that's closer for me than
North Dakota or South Dakota yeah we're probably I'd at least say eight to eight ten hours away
probably all right yeah you want to hit him with the affiliates there yeah yeah let's see if I can
mess this up this week so go go use our FabEdit.
All right.
Don't forget to use our codes at all of these places.
Obsidian Ammonia, Barbell Rescue, Plate Snacks,
