And welcome back to episode six oh five of the unpaid underrated podcast. We are a podcast for crew by crew. I'm one of your hosts, big Keith joined as always by big joy as always. And we have three special guests crew this week for a nice little, uh, crew falls recap episode. So we got Mr. Big Trond. Yeah.

We got Brad the pad. Yo, and we got big Kurt, not, not Kurt locker. This is a new Kurt. And, uh, essentially we'll just, uh, kind of go through the, uh, crew falls weekend. We all just got back from, you know, talk about a little bit, you know, what you do, how much funds you have, etc, etc. But first, as always, I mean, I had a blast, but let's get through Nate's favorite part, you know, let's do the round robin. What are you

drinking over there, Joey? Back to my Canadian beer. Thank you. Love you guys in South Dakota, but I missed my Canadian beers. I'll tell you that. And I'm, uh, I'm drinking a nice little Mick ultra. I, uh, wasn't going to drink tonight, but I burned the shit out of my finger when I was grilling steak tonight. And I was like, okay, well, this will help a little bit, I guess. What about you, Brad? What you got, buddy? Uh, I drank enough beers over the weekend, so it's just water for me, my guys. I've had so much water today. Like I could drown a fish. Like I woke up this morning and

I was just like, ah. How about you Tron? What you got buddy? I got the old Guinness Zero. I as well, Frank enough Guinness this weekend that I can take a few days off. Smart, smart, smart. Kurt, what you got, buddy? Yeah, I got a polar seltzer water. And again, because of this weekend's activities, that's the way to go tonight. Oh, I see.

Some of us don't drink all the time. I see how it is. Some of us are in control of our addictions. I get it. Just rubbing that in today. Episode 605 was that for Grayson's big lift there. That already pulled. Yeah, buddy.

Yeah. Wow. Good stuff. That like like what 195 or something or maybe a little less. That's pretty impressive. So I think it is over three times body weight. And that's crazy. Good for him. No chalk, no belt, no belt.

No, no belt. He did it beltless. Yeah, no, not a belt. Oh, he did it beltless? Yeah. I think his torso is so small too, that like, unless he got like, he'd have to get like a two inch. No, I'm, no, legitimately, like,

he'd have to get like, I mean, he'd probably have good luck if he had like a two inch or a three inch belt, but a four inch belt would probably like, just get in the way of his fricking pecs and his quads. Yeah. Yeah. He says he never pulls with a belt. Oh, there you go.

Belts overrated warmens up warming up overrated. Well, we are wearing shirts tonight. So Kurt, what are you wearing? I got the new gym tee. This was waiting for me when I got back from Crew Falls. So as much as it sucked that the weekend was over, at least I had that. Nice, nice. You know, you could have just got Tanner to deliver that.

Yeah. I mean, we told Matt that he should have done that but for some reason he just decided not to big Brad the pad what you got I am back in the freshly laundered camo massonomics hoodie that I was wearing over the weekend it's still warm I was going to say you wash your coats. Oh, yeah. Once a season. It's got to have the travel stank on it. That's fair. That's fair.

I'm rocking the old Lyft sweatshirt. Yeah, I had that on all weekend. I saw a lot of guys wearing that this whole weekend, too, so. Excuse me. Rocking the unpaid and underrated shirt. And I just wanted to, I was rocking the new lift shorts earlier. I just want to touch base on those.

They were great. I did downsize to the large that I'm an extra large. Great decision. I was afraid to be a little too snug. Frickin perfect. So literally like, you know, I'm 250 plus and an extra large is perfect. So they are crazy, you know, I'm 250 plus and an extra large is perfect. So they are crazy, you know big

If you are ordering those shorts order a size down, I think that's a that's a generally good rule Yep On right now too, and I'm gonna be training in the tomorrow morning as well. Nice. They're excellent I've got three pairs of them and just mortgage just like you have enough shorts. It's like no I don't have enough of these These are the best shorts. It's like, no, I don't have enough of these. These are the best shorts. Yeah, that's been it. I'm still wearing the I may be a piece of shit,

but at least I'm not a social media influencer shirt. As you made like three Instagram posts today. Just the one, but still, I've always wanted this shirt. And it is Jim Boxey, so it's it's uh, I love I've always wanted this shirt and It is Jim boxy. So it's like super comfortable and it'll fit no, whether five a pump or not So I'm really happy to and it was like 40 or 45 percent off with Black Friday He's got another one. I like that says If you've heard anything bad about me believe that shit and leave me the fuck alone. And I really like like as much as uh, you know, Jordy's controversial. He's he's really good at misanthropy because he really speaks to me on his t-shirts. The problem with these though is like

they scream don't talk to me, but then everybody just wants to talk to you about them. Yeah. Yeah. Speaking of stuff that talked to me with uh, I know I got a chance to talk to you about them. Yeah, and have a conversation and start. Yeah. Speaking of stuff that talked to me, I know I got a chance to listen to Tanner's episode on Do You Even Live Bro Today? It was great, I think they recorded it last week, so there was a lot of stuff kind of like, you know, pre-eluting to Crew Falls and everything,

but it was essentially, you know, Masonomic Adjacent, you know, it was, because I already, I know the two guys that host the podcast, Kyle and, Jesus was because I already I know the two guys that host the podcast Kyle and Jesus I know them so well So it's like, you know, literally just like listening to like, you know So it was like listening back to one of our episodes or to one of mass omics episodes It was just like, you know, you knew everybody on the episode you've met him in person hung out with him

So it was really good got a lot of you know, you knew everybody on the episode. You've met him in person, hung out with him. So it was really good. Got a lot of, you know, some of the Mastodonics lore we talked about this weekend was actually something he talked about on the episode. So that was cool to kind of hear. Just all in all, it was a really good episode. I loathe listening to like, you know, books or podcasts when I'm trying to train, but I really wanted to finish that episode. And it was also like, it was back, my back was up against the wall. Like if I don't train now, my wife, you know, I'm going to basically be training into dinner time. So I was like, I got to train now. So I guess I got to just listen to an hour and a half of the episode

while I'm training, you know, so I think I ended up taking like the majority of my top sets, listening to Tanner and the guys talk. So I found that odd, but yeah, it didn't turn me off too much. So I guess I know how Jen can do it, but it's like, I definitely, I don't't want to do it every session so but it was a good episode if you haven't caught it yet to do so. And check out our real because Keith was kind enough to grab a video and send that over to me and I was like no I'm gonna post that of Tanner essentially saying what I was saying all weekend about how like how cool it is that he gets to you know what like I'll be really honest with you and I know Tanner you're gonna be listening the way he kind of started was that like it started out as a bit of a joke a podcast about a podcast and then it formed into this no we interview the people that support massonomics. So Tanner, from his perspective, like from our perspective, I said it at the Los Campionos, nobody in this room is a stranger. I've interviewed 98%

of the people walking around lifting right now. And I know why he's not lifting. I know why he's not drinking. I know why she's, you know, over on that machine and not the other machine, because we spent two hours with you in the past couple of months. Well, from Tanner's perspective, he gets to hear about the people that just give him money, that love his company so much, that we signed on to be a part of it. And from his perspective,

like I never considered it from the Tanner perspective, that like, that must be so cool for him, is that, you know, we get to know each each other but he gets to know us as one of the owners of the company you know and that was really cool so give that real alike in a share well I try and fix my chair and not fall over and die potential episode title the Tanner perspective the Tanner perspective like that all right well one of the week prepared anyone for a Mastanomic sponsor read so we might just have for a massonomic sponsor read

So we might just have to make this whole episode sponsor read and sorry for that boys So yeah, I guess we'll go ahead and get her guest on the horn and here they are We got big trawn big brad to pad and big Kurt. Hey boys, how we doing? Doing well. Well good. So let's uh, I mean I got a whole little punch list here We don't really have to go and order anything. So, I mean, just we can kind of go through the whole weekend chronologically. So Brad actually can kick it off with us because he had a little, uh, snafu with his travel plans and got to Sioux falls a day early.

So what, what did you do Thursday, bud? Uh, Thursday, I mostly stressed over my lost bag, all of my clothes, all of my lifting stuff. So that's what I did most of the day. I did wander over to Remedy Brewing in the evening there just to check it out, had a couple beers and got some takeout dinner. Took that back and I just, I watched the Lions game back in the hotel room and just waited for everybody else to show up. So I didn't do too much.

I'm a little jealous of that. You know, like these, you take these trips and we'll talk more about mine, but like, I kind of wish I had the day before and the day after like you and I had the day after to just like no we're just relaxed we're just chilled we're just enjoying our times in Sioux Falls thanks to Trond and Daniel and Gary I guess we're gonna call him yeah but I honestly don't know his name other than Gary as far as Gary, but he's going to be Gary. Yeah. But I honestly don't know his name other than Gary.

As far as I'm concerned, he's Gary. He's one of the brads. He is one of the brads, yeah. I do. I am a little jealous of that. I think that if I had like my choice of travel, I would do what you did without losing my bag. And I would arrive a day early and just be like chilled because we're

getting we're getting into my traveling in a minute but if it weren't for the lost bag it was a real nice little Thursday let me tell you it was very pleasant and were you able to take care of taking advantage of Kruber getting getting a ride a little bit from the airport that night or is you yeah yeah my my guy Grayson came and got me. He patiently waited outside for probably 45 minutes while I tried to figure out where my bag was. We were supposed to get some pancheros for lunch, some giant burritos, but we did not have time,

so he had to get back to work. Yeah, he was still working and he took his lunch break to come get me. That was nice of him not leaving your ass there and being like, I gotta go buddy. Well that's what I told him, like man you gotta go, like I'll just, you know, I'll get a Lyft or an Uber or whatever, but nope, he stood by and he got me where I need to go. What about you, Kurt? You flew in also, didn't you? Yeah, so I got to meet Big Joey first and foremost before I even got to Sioux Falls

just because of that interesting connecting situation that he had going there. I guess I'll let him tell that a little bit more than me though. But I got there on Friday after a pretty good layover in Chicago. But it was an interesting travel day because I had to make a couple changes on the fly. I found out I had to take an Uber to the airport on Friday morning at 4 a.m. because I had to lend my car out. And then after that, again, I'll let Joey tell the situation with the flight. That's his story to tell. But I had to hold up a flight. And then when I got to Sioux Falls, Matthias and I were going to rent a car just so that we would have another option all throughout the weekend, only to find out that Enterprise

didn't hold the reservation for him. Oh wow. So then we were stuck. That's wild. They didn't have any other rental. Like I've been to Sioux Falls multiple times. There's a lot of, there seems like there's more cars and there are people that want to rent them. I understand what a reservation means. I don't think you do. That's why I didn't hear that. Just left with Grayson at that point. So Mathias and I were just kind of stuck there, you know, at the curb. But fortunately that that's when Tron was getting into town.

Good man. Pick us up. And then AF came as well. So I mean we had options for how we were going to get to Tommy's from there. And then it was right into the grip challenge from there. So I definitely didn't have any time to catch my breath right into the fire which was awesome. The only way to do it. Perfect. Yeah I had a pretty early wake-up call Friday. I want to say I left my house. I got up at like 4, 45, 430, something like that, at the airport by 530, on a plane by 630, Chicago, met Hogan in Chicago, then we were back, we both, you know, we rode out and we landed in Sioux falls by like a 10 45, 10 30 or something.

And I think we had just missed miss scans. Cause scans had posted a video drinking at the bar downstairs at like, like literally like 17 minutes prior and I called and texted him when we got there and he was completely, you know, didn't answer. I think it was mostly something with the, you know, the, the postal service people must've got a hold of his phone and said, no, you can't use this.

Uh, cause he wouldn't answer anything. But big, big, big Paul picked us up and we had like two hours to kill before pizza ranch. So he Paul gave us a nice little tour of Sioux Falls. We drove through the falls, just kind of did a couple of laps around the area and we were like, oh, let's go check out the shim that was just featured on the,

the mass on YouTube video, like the day prior. So it was really surreal to be at Paul's house, checking out the same gym that Tanner just featured on the, the mass on YouTube video, like the day prior. Uh, so it was really surreal to be at Paul's house, checking out the same gym that Tanner and Tommy had, uh, toured, you know, the video came out the day before, but I think they've, you know, actually recorded it like three months in advance prior to, so that was just really fun. Uh, then we headed over to the pizza ranch.

Uh, and then, you know, that was, you know, that's when we caught up with a lot of other guys, I think Brad was a pizza ranch, Tron. Yeah, it was just me and Brad were the only ones in this crew that were at Pizza Ranch. So we can touch base on that. You go now real quick and then we can get to Joey's travel and Tron's pick up.

So Pizza Ranch, not the best, not the worst. It's kind of like Cece's. The best part about it, the cactus bread was good, which it was basically just dessert pizza. I don't know what the topping, I don't know what flavor. It wasn't like apple, but it was basically just dessert pizza. I don't know what the topping, I don't know what flavor it was. It wasn't like apple, but it was just like, it was whatever, like a plain ish, like not a extravagant flavor, but it was really good. Um, they had a little cookies that were pretty decent, like a little cookie

tray thing, but the, the cheese sticks were good. The pizza was okay. I liked the salad bar. I always like a salad bar. That's got like potato salad, macaroni salad and stuff. So you can kind of get a little bit of extra bang for your buck with that. Um, I think some of the boys put a hurting on the cottage cheese.

There wasn't any cottage cheese consumed. And I did try a couple of pieces of that. I think I had one piece of the fried chicken that like every time I've heard Tanner, Tommy, or anyone else ever talk about pizza ranch, they always talk about the fried chicken. It was okay, but goddamn, it was greasy. It was so greasy.

Like it was, it was dripping with grease. Um, but goddamn it was greasy. It was so greasy. Like it was, it was dripping with grease. Um, but that was fun. I think there was, there was three or four, there was 20 plus of us at pizza ranch. And then, uh, we kind of all moseyed over to, uh, to Tommy's. So uh, I guess Joey or Tron can jump in, I guess, however, if it kind of fits in the story. I'm going to be pretty long. Yeah, I was going to say I'll jump in because mine's pretty short. I live here in South Dakota. I'm two hours straight west on the interstate. So my trip was just driving over.

I swung down to Dimmick, South Dakota to pick up some cheese curds for everybody to sample. Got some Bloody Mary cheese curds to share at Tommy's. And then I came through and as I was literally driving past the airport, that's when I started seeing Mathias and Kurt asking for a ride and they said, I can do it. And then Af was already on the way. So by the time I pulled up,

Af was pulling in right behind me. And so I figured if he already drove all the way over, I'd let him pick the guys up and take them to their Airbnb, their crew BNB. And then, yeah, then I went and checked in at the hotel and hightailed it over to Tommy's walked in and immediately got hit in the face with the dynamometer and some rippers. There was there was no rest in between until we got caught up. So it was, yeah, I did like the first three events back to back immediately. So but yeah, that was, that was my travel in.

So that's a really good thing to bring up is for those of you who might not know, especially for Kurt and Brad, where were you? Was everybody traveling from? Trond, we got you, you're two hours west. Keith, where were you traveling from? Rochester, New York. Kurt. And I'm right outside of Philadelphia, Bucks County. Brad. I hail from Holland, Michigan, which is right on the west side of the state, right on the lake. Yep. And I'm coming from Ontario, Canada. So yeah, my trip is a bit, what do you call it, storied.

Okay, so I knew booking it that the 45 minute layover was gonna scare me, right? Because of the last time I flew down there and layovers were just ridiculous. So when I got there, they're like, oh, there's a 20 minute delay. And I was like, okay 20 minute delay That should still get me there. The gates are right next to each other. That shouldn't be a problem and

Kurt starts messaging me about I think a week before and I'll be honest Kurt. I have to be upfront. I actually didn't know who you were at the time Because you know, yeah, you were so Like are you gonna be at are you gonna be at Crew Falls? And I was just like, again, you'll probably have already learned your crew. So I just innately trusted you. And I'm like, yeah, this is my flight. This is when we land, blah, blah, blah, blah. Right? So right as my flight is getting delayed, I'm messaging Kurt going, I might miss our flight, man. Cause like I was meeting you. I didn't know I was meeting Matthias too. Yeah, I didn't know he'd be there either.

In Chicago, and we were all flying to Sioux Falls together. And I was like, I got to be honest, man, I think I'm going to miss this flight. So as we're getting in the air, just before I turn off my phone, I was just like, I think I messaged you like, I'll let you know as soon as I land. Yeah. So as soon as I get a signal my phone's on right like I just I don't mess with the airplane mode when they're like It has to be an airplane mode. No, it doesn't so I was like I Messaged you and my app starts updating telling me they've changed my flight to 9 p.m

That's an eight hour layover. So I messaged Kurt, I was like, I missed it man, they already booked my flight. And Kurt goes, no, we're still here, run. And I'm like, and at that point I had already gone to the gate attendant, she moved me up to the plane. So she moved me up to the front of the plane so I could get off first. Because she's like, we can't promise they're going to do the thing where they say, if you have a connecting flight, please get off first.

So I don't have an overhead bag. I only have my under the seat bag. And I go, as I'm trying to stand up, this guy stands in front of me to get his bag down. I'm like, Oh, hey, man, my connecting flights like literally about to leave. I got to go. He goes, yeah, me too. And I went, yeah, you're smaller than me. He wasn't, but I actually like shoved the guy over and like ran past him because like he was just beat up. Like I was, I don't need anything, man. Just let me pass to you for a second. And he was like, no. And I was like, well then move. So I bolt and there is Kurt and Matthias. I'm going to say this in the most legal terms I can, delaying the flight, telling this gate attendant who I am, where I'm coming from, that I'm

landing right now. I come running up. Oh no, that comes into play there, Keith. I come running up. I'm out of breath. I'm dodging people. It's like an Assassin's Creed episode. Like, I'm just like, like in between people. And I get up out of breath and she's like, all right, you're Joseph. And I'm like, yeah. And Kurt Mathias, like, you made it. And I was like, only if they didn't sell my seat. She goes, no, we did.

We sold your seat already. And I could feel it. I was like, oh, I was like, do I seriously have to stand here for eight hours right now? And she goes, no, I got you another seat Fucking elated. I was elated. I was like seriously. She's like, well if you don't want it, I was like no No, like if you weren't employed right now, I'd hug you. I'm so happy. Thank you Like if you weren't on the job right now, I'd be so thrilled to hug you and Matthias turns me goes yeah, you know how you spell your name

at the end of every episode of Unpaid and Underrated? That's how I knew to spell your name to tell them who you were. He's like, I sang your song, the MOECZKO. And he was like, I did it in your cadence. I did it in the way that you do it. He's like, because you do that every week, I was able to translate who you are

and to get you that seat, which is amazing weekend. I did. Cause then my seat was right next to Mathias. So we had, you know, as much as we were like chatting at the same time, I'm out of breath. I'm exhausted. Um, so sorry if I wasn't too entertaining there, Mathias, but you know, that was really fun. And then, yeah. So then we land and jump in the car with Grayson. And I'm like, are you guys sure you don't want me to wait? And the guy's like, no, no, no, my car's here. And then I'm off to Tommy's to jump into the gym. And yeah, overwhelmingly just people in the gym.

And then, Keith, if you want to go now to the next subject. Yeah, so just questions, do your stuff there. Literally where we're at was Tommy's gym. We'd all seen it on YouTube It was really cool to see in person or if anything stuck out to anyone specifically as far as the gym itself You know that lap pull down looked pretty sweet I'm glad that he's kind of expanded the stall mats You know is he his heater looked nice and brand new in the corner that he'd been talking about He said he listening back to the episode that came out after we were already

there, uh, he talked about how he was in there scrubbing his floors and stuff. So that was kind of cool hearing them talk on the, on the sister podcast on yesterday to slash today's episode of how he was basically prepping the garage. And then we kind of saw that firsthand, but I'm hearing about it and delayed. So, uh, you know, opening up his home to us like that was awesome. You know, appreciate him and his wife letting us in there. I think, I think like at least 30 of us definitely peed in the downstairs bathroom, you know, opening up his home to us like that was awesome. You know, appreciate him and his wife letting us in there. I think like at least 30 of us definitely peed in the downstairs bathroom. You know, very, very nice of him to let us do that.

So I have officially peed in both the sister host's bathroom and outside of Chris Mark's house, who doesn't really count because he's local. I might be the first host to have peed in a guest house because I definitely took a pee at Paul Foss's house. Oh, I was going to say I peed at a guest house because I definitely took a pee at Paul Foss's house. Oh, I was gonna say I peed at your house. Oh yeah, that's adjacent. I think my kids peed at your house. That might be a trap.

Yeah, there you go. But yeah, the Tommy's Gym was great and then we kind of got into the grip, the grip comp. It was five events that none of us really knew what it was other than, you know, we knew it was going to be a grip contest. So I try to recreate it here real quick. It was the Dino monitor, whatever the hell, I can't pronounce that word, but you were just Dino Mammometer. Yeah. Somebody gives you a numerical rating of your grip strength in kilos. Yeah, it was sometimes sometimes sometimes two people go ahead of me and they're all at like 120 or 130 and then I go and I'm at 52 and I'm like, I guess I'm weak today.

Like, I don't know how else to explain this. That was pretty. Yeah. Oh, kilos. Yeah. Yeah. And then Big Spicy Pizza Daniel goes and he goes, that's not right. And then they measure it.

They're like, oh, it was in kilos. He comes up to me and he goes, I think yours was in kilos. That makes sense. I have a four like I have a four plate comfortable deadlift like no warm-up I'm pretty sure my grip is better than 50 It was the the Rolling Thunder yeah that thing was Genies the the gripers themselves those Grippers themselves, those were hard. Those are not fun. Blobs and then the hang off the eggplant and the peach.

I believe that was all five. I underperformed what I wanted to do on pretty much most of them. The blob I was pretty annoyed about because the rest of it was all implemented, never touched before-ish. They're frustrating. They've done the Grippers but Grippers are different from one brand to the next. But the blob, I got the half 60 and you know, almost got the half 70. I just, you know, I was like, I was smoked at that point,

but I have got the half 70 at home, which, you know, whatever that doesn't count there, but it was, but all in all, that was a blast. How did everyone do or did anyone have any expectations going in or underperform or overperform or anything like that? I think the sneaky one was the hang. That was significantly harder than I expected it to be.

So especially with a couple of the guys going early hanging on there for like a minute, that just makes that even more insane because I was struggle busing and I'm significantly less fat than I was struggle bussing and I'm significantly less fat than I was previously. Yeah, I'm fat like you were previously and it was very hard. I was very happy to get 17 seconds because I think I beat like three people or something. I was like, sweet, I didn't come in last. As soon as Hogan hit a minute and a half, I was like, the moment this becomes hard,

I'm dropping. I wasn't going to be sitting there struggling. I was just like, no, it's already hard. I don't going to be sitting there struggling. I was just like, no, it's already hard. I don't want to do it. And I think I made like 26 seconds. Karen, how'd you do? The blobs were really frustrating. And I guess if there was a little bit more time and I had more wherewithal, I wish I would have went after the 60 again. Was the 60 the third one?

The first one. The first one? The first one. It was a half 60, a half 70, a half 80, half 90. I thought the 30 was the first one for Just it was a half 60, half 70, a half 80, half 90. I thought the 30 was the first one for some reason. Well so it was 30 pounds but it was half of a 60 so that's where it got confusing for a lot of people because a blob is half of a dumbbell. Some people call it the true weight and some people call it half of a blank you know. Yeah so I did get the half 60 and I feel like I could have got the half

70 but there were so many people doing so many different things I didn't want to keep going after it when and they were super they were super cold and super like Humid and wet so like that didn't help That was one of the things Tom. We did mention. He said he checked the humidity when they Started everything and it was like it was like 40% It was like 30 or 40% at the start and then when we started we pulled out the blobs you check and it was over 80 and so that's when he opened the open the doors up and they wiped down the blobs and coated them in chalk all over his nice freshly cleaned floor

that we then cover in a thick layer of chalk. I almost ate it on that floor like twice. It was very slippery. You were the only one. Yeah. I finally was like, Tommy, you got to just cover this whole place in stalemats. And he was just like, oh.

Yeah, I did that. I didn't even get a single blob up. And again, I wasn't there to win any prizes. I'm the host of Unpaid and Underrated. I feel like me winning prizes is kind of out of pocket anyway Yeah, so we really hurt him. I was just there to like have fun and and and shoot the shit and everything like that So I definitely underperformed with what I think I could have done, but I also wasn't there like try Either so like I'm not disappointed in myself

Try either so like I'm not disappointed in myself. Yeah, so that's that's the goal. Does anybody else want to talk about Tommy's actually? There's one more thing I'm disappointed in as a newbie. I there was so much that I learned this weekend and I didn't know the origin of Brad the pad. So I really wish you know what's the Lyft Hard Live Easy recap? With all of that happening, I was just like, OK, he's into it and everything like that, and everybody else is into it. But I can't find out about that later. Are they calling him a pad because he's a pussy

and he wears pads? I don't get it. Why is it every time he goes out to do something, we throw the belt of steel pad on him? That's great. So when did you learn the origin of that? Did you figure it out by the sticker? I think that wasn't until Saturday night.

I think Tanner might have been the one that like he just got thrown into that responsibility. And we actually didn't have anyone said like they were about to start going when like carrying the shield. It was like the grill. It was the females were up first. I think it was Tyler's wife. And I was like, there's no fucking buddy with a pad. That's going to hit the ground really really hard and then someone finally went and got a pad and Brad just kind of handed it To it to him. I believe Yeah, Jake it was not it was not a strong Yeah, and I was gonna say and once we all saw how hard it was

None of us volunteered to take that responsibility away from from Brad None of us volunteered to take that responsibility away from Brad. That's how I achieved living meme status. I'm just a living meme. And then the meme was, I think everybody was sitting in the hotel lobby, and wasn't it British David while he was sitting right next to you? He created the the brand the pad And and and then there was no stopping it after that All right Kurt just a quick question when did you join crew

Back in August. So yeah, I had been watching the content for a while But I finally did the right thing and became a contributing member back in August. OK. OK. No, that makes sense. Yeah, that would have been after the Lift Hard, Live Easy. OK. Yeah.

So you have some knowledge of what we're going to do here and some not. So then after that, there was no plan. So we just all kind of. Yeah, I think we ended up going to, what did we do? We went to Reign. We went to Monks. Monks, yeah. Well, first first you guys all got to experience

Yeah, that's on our that's our unpaid underrated Let's not push that right now. Okay, but we got to explode. Yeah, I'll add some other things there, too Feel free anything we can delete them as we talk about But essentially I was like, I've been flying all day. I'm hungry. This place is loud. I want to leave. And then I just stood in a circle, I think with Trond, Hannah and Grayson. And like, we're just like, where do we go?

And I think we established, yeah, I think we just established everybody go back to the hotel and figured out from there. But then Trond was like, well, as we were driving, I think you just established everybody go back to the hotel and figured out from there But then Trond was like well as we were driving I think you said monks is right there and I was like that's yeah, just fucking like it's us It's a four minute walk from everybody's hotel. So we ended up there We'll get more into monks later because I think that's in our unpaid underrated Right doesn't have to be I just know I mean it was it was okay It was it was okay

Like it wasn't the the service at monks is probably gonna be an unpaid over at. Oh, yeah I'm there and I might have gone the other way, but now that I remember that I got a whole story for that Yeah, okay, so remember the service is always my fault You have had I had no problems with her service. I just get up and went and get my own shit. Like I was a bartender. I just walk up and go, I asked for water. You didn't bring it. Can I just have my water, please? Like, oh, I wish we were able to get someone that stayed in the crew

Airbnb on the episode, but just with scheduling and whatnot. I had the couple of people I had talked to just weren't able to make it. So I heard some horror stories. We all saw the pictures. I think the only one that made out on the deal was was Matt Sumbling, who probably Oh, fucking told everybody it was it was a lot nicer than it was. And you know, he was he somehow ended up being the only asshole to get his own bedroom, I believe. And everyone else was either sharing a room or literally sleeping on a pullout couch or sleeping on a pullout futon, or it was more of a chair that turned into

a futon, but it wasn't fucking flat. And then AFS let someone borrow a little air mattress and a sleeping bag. And that might've been actually the best bed of the fucking house, which is wild, but they all only paid 25 bucks a night. But so eight grown men, fucking one bathroom, what the f- like, no, like I don't care, like I think I spent $300 to stay at the Hilton and I would do that again in a heartbeat for two nights. That was so fucking convenient.

And I didn't have to worry about getting a ride anywhere, uh, as far as the downtown after hour shit. So yeah, did anyone get any specifics other than that? Uh, was it anybody get any horror stories told to them in confidence or anything? Because it just seemed horrible. Horrible sleeping arrangement, horrible living arrangement that I could never do. Yeah, I think most of them just didn't want to bring it up. You know, it was so traumatic for all of them. If they were, yeah, if they were out of the house, they just wanted to pretend that they didn't have to go back and stay there

So although it was three c-pap machines to that was yeah Tripping breakers or something We also spent three weeks going like yeah, that's gonna be awful like leading up to it on the unpaid At least expected it to be like three or four rooms that all had like double beds, not like some asshole sleeping on a fucking floor basically. Yeah, yeah. Well, I think like Toby's bed was literally a padded lawn chair. Like the threefold lawn chair when he was like breaking it down and showing how he laid

it out. It was literally just a lawn chair with like a couch cushion on it. And then there was no extra bedding either. So like no one had like other than like the two beds. I think Mathias did find some, some disgusting pillows in the basement on the last night. But like, they, they, they found all the bedding. It was unwashed in the basement in a pile. It was just on the floor.

That's what you get for 25 bucks a night apparently. Oh yeah. Weird thing as a Canadian. So we have, we're at Monks. We're all, we've all eaten at this point. We're all getting ready to like settle in and have fun and in walks the Minnesota Minner, the Minnesota Minner. So the lifters, the Department of Minnesota Safety Lifting on them. I'm never going to get it right. And at this point it's a bit, and, um, they're like, Oh, we were going to go to Texas Broadhouse, but there's a shooter. And I'm like, I was like, guys, I've been in America for a day. We wanted to give you the full American. So I texted my wife and I'm like, LOL, active shooter down the street.

And she's like, she lost her mind. Yeah, I wouldn't have. That's not a smart thing to text your wife when you're home alone with your kids and probably doesn't want to be a widow, but LOL, active shooter is the correct text. I waited till the next day to relay that message. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was definitely one of those.

I was then later I had to tell her like no we have a rule now nobody walks anywhere alone like like we had to do that after Lou Lou had was it Lou or Tron had some horror stories about something going on. I think that was Lou. Lou yeah like lose lose girlfriend L. I think one of her brother was in Sioux Falls and got jumped outside remedy or something like that. And so we were just like, all right, nobody walks alone. And then I walked everywhere alone. So that settles up that I think that first day.

Basically all Friday and then to Saturday. We all woke up, you know, I think we ever got us everyone got to sleep in about seven or so and no I didn't I was up And fuck somehow my phone was and do not disturb but Stephanie still texted me and ended up being like 530 530 I'm like motherfucker. So same my days my day started at 530 But original pancake house. I was able to I think at least a few people Several of the people that were there was the first time there. I had been building it up for you know, you know pretty highly the people that were there was the first time there. I had been building it up for, you know, pretty highly. We somehow amazingly got our table. We literally had to wait for like two seconds and we ended up getting like a huge area and we ended up giving some of it away because we didn't know how people were going to show up and then we ended up needing more. So a couple of people had to like

sit on the other. Everyone was still in a very general vicinity, but it was great service there. Our waiter was a seriously diet It was funny because we were like why isn't Bryce here and I think me and you at the same time when that is Like I think we both said it Here because I was sitting next to Matthias and I was trying to get a picture of Bryce and Diet Bryce together. I could have just asked the guy and he would have gladly done it, but I was just like, didn't wanna have that asked because I just, you know, discreetly took it,

which wasn't very discreet. And then I happened to be like looking at it, why he was handing me my bill later. So, and Matthias was like, you know, Dan, well, he just saw that picture. I was like, no. So I gave him a nice 25% tip, I think, just for that. But my food was great. Conversation was great. Everybody else So I gave him a nice 25% tip, I think, just for that.

But my food was great. Conversation was great. Everybody else, I don't think anyone, hopefully no one had any complaints about a pancake house. No, that was the meal I was most excited for because I haven't had pancakes in six months. And that meal lived up to the hype. I had the Western omelet and washed it down with some pancakes.

I was living the dream. It was very reasonable too. I mean, it was even with all the add-ons, I was still like 25 bucks and it would have been a lot less if I didn't get potatoes. Yeah, I had the just bacon and eggs and I added a side of avocado and yeah, I don't think I paid more than 25 bucks. And I will say it, cause we were the first ones there,

me and Trond and Brad. Dr. Hogan. Oh, Dr. Hogan. Yeah, we were the first ones there. We walked in and they're like, how many? And we went, 40. 30, 40? Yeah.

And I'll tell you, they didn't flinch. Nope. They didn't't flinch. Nope. They didn't butt that night. Nope. They were just like, do you have a reservation? And we went maybe, and we gave her Tanner and Tommy's name and they said, no, it's under some Carly girl. We're like, well, sure, we'll be Carly.

And they just like, no, give me a minute. And they like did it. Like they did it, did it. Yeah, it was pretty dope. That was top tier service. And I think next year, Tommy, Tanner, if it. Yeah, it was pretty dope. That was that was top tier service. And I think next year, Tommy Tanner, if you're listening, might want to book in advance on that one. I think they they try I think it has to be like the morning. I

don't I don't think they do like, hey, Friday night call ahead. I think it's just like, someone has to show up first thing in the morning, or they have to call that morning. Because I know, I think I remember talking about it last year. But I obviously they didn't put any reservations in this year. But it is what it is I obviously they didn't put any reservations in the sugar It is what it is. Well, we didn't need you and it was yeah, it was good. It was fast A lot less busy than it was last year. So yeah

Well, I mean like if we had been there like 15 minutes later, like that's when the crowds Started coming in. So like like we got just in time We got our tables and then as everybody just came in I was up there looking and there was people sitting there waiting and yeah and you know there was there was a delay so we timed it perfect yeah good work crew yeah and then uh we we all had to pack up in the cars and drive all the way across town to go to the gym it was all about all of about I don't even I mean we technically left the strip mall but I only had to cross one road and I think we were there in 90 seconds or less.

If it wasn't just like such a congested busy parking lot, it would have been a, a, a, probably would have been a 90 second walk to an all honesty. So that was super convenient for us. Then we got to who can actually pronounce it because I keep butchering it. It's going to be on us. Oh, there we go. Yeah. I see.

I have you, I have you written Los Campionos. There we go. Yeah, I see. I have you. I have you written Los Campesinos. So maybe that's why you can't pronounce it because you wrote Campesinos. I Googled it and it was like the first thing that came up. What I tried to butchery Google and I was like, that's gotta be it. I think we established later. It's just Latin or Spanish for the champions. Yeah, I'll go first because I do want to talk a little bit about what I did there. I did not go to train. I did not have any set training.

I turned juggernaut pretty much off for a week and was like, I just want to try all the stuff I can't do at home. So I hit 120 pound log press, which I've literally never done before. I think I could have gone to one 30, but everybody wanted to jump to one 50 and I could not get that one 50. I also like, that 150. Yeah. But also like I weigh 160. So overhead pressing more than my body weight doesn't seem, I'm not sad about it. Um, then I got to try the Yoke, which was amazing and probably one of my

fastest rising reels I've ever put out there, um, that I did the three 80. I got it about the 15 feet, not the 30 feet. The 270 I ran. I ran that 30 feet and back, and that was easy for me. Did definitely bruise one of the vertebrae on my back doing it. Yeah, I can't put a yoke on my back, that seems scary. I don't have a lot of complaints about that, because it was cool to do.

I did try lifting that super sharp rock, which I think Trond will talk about more in a minute. Yeah, I can't wait for that. Oh, he brought that in, he put it down, I was like, I'm gonna lifting that super sharp rock, which I think Trond will talk about more in a minute. Yeah, I can't wait for that. Oh, he brought that in. He put it down and I was like, I'm going to lift that. And I think, I think, yeah, Colty, I think it was Hogan was like, careful, look at that thing. That thing had the sharpest edges I've ever seen on a rock.

And it was only like 120 or something like that. But I was like, well, I'll stand. 160. 160, I was like, yeah, I'll stand up with it at least. And I did. And what else did I get to 160 I was like I'll stand up with it at least and I did and What else did I get to I got to play with that circus dumbbell with that circus dumbbell was way out of my way out of My range for like a heavy empty. I mean it was fairly heavy for being empty But yeah going in cold to a circus dumbbell at 80 pounds like that's

That's pretty big. I Want to say the pendulum squat and the other the other squat machine that they had there, those things are incredible. Those burned my thighs empty. I was like, oh, I can't wait to add weight to these. But then I was like, no, I want to do the yoke. I'm not going to burn out my thighs this quick. I did not do any deadlifting, which shocked him to most people.

But yeah, that was my time at Los Campionos. I don't want to hear about everybody else's. Brad, what did you do, buddy? Well, kind of much like Joey, I kind of tried all the things I can't do at home. I have a barbell and a squat rack at home, so I kind of stood away from that. They had some really, really rad machines

that I just had to give a whirl. That pendulum squat was really, really cool. Absolutely shredded my hamstrings. My hamstrings are still sore. Now, there was two of them. So there was the one that goes on your shoulders and you squat. That's the one. We have one of them was the Rogers athletics and then the other was the arsenal, I think. Right? Yeah. The arsenal squat, that one. I love that thing thing I love both of them, but I love that Arsenal squad

Yeah, so I played around with that for quite a while and then I spent some time over just digging with the machines I don't get to play with those very often. So I was having a lot of fun. Just getting a good old classic pump on and exploring trying some new things and then Say Hannah told me that there was a, they had a posing room in there. So I had to go check that out. Got into a pose down with Keith and Joey. So that was, that was the highlight of my day.

Well, yeah, me and you were in there. We're just like, we've got our stringers or our tank tops. And we're just like, and then Keith walks in and goes, shirts off or tarps off or whatever he said. He just rips his shirt off. And we're like, all right, we'll do that too. Hell yeah. Why not? Kurt, how was your, how was your time at Los Campionos? So Saturday is the day where I can actually like train at a reasonable pace where I'm

not training at five in the morning. So it was really nice to be able to take my time over three hours and just hit all the lifts I wanted to do, which was just the big three, you know, nothing too adventurous in that regard. But also, I'm still meeting everybody at that point. So I got to talk to Big Nate for a while, which was pretty cool. Saturday was actually the day that I really got to talk to Tommy for the first time because he had so much going on Gary night or no who those big night why my date mo oh okay I call him I call him mo but yeah yeah and yeah like I'm saying it is the first time I got to talk to Tommy because he was so busy on Friday night and everything so yeah that was that was pretty cool using all those York deep dish plates that they have that I don't normally get to lift with, which was pretty cool. And by the time I got to deadlifting, deadlifting was the

last thing that I did. That was after the the Mastanomics boys choir. I think most people were probably like ready to go at that point. I got a few good sets in, but I had to cut that down a little bit. That just goes to show if all I was doing was squatting, benching, and deadlifting over that much time, it shows how much time I had to meet everybody, talk with everybody, and still get a really good lift in. I had a really, really good gym too. So awesome experience. There was a young kid there too.

I don't know if you saw him training on the Smith machine. From what I understand, he just started a high school athletics or middle school athletics and he was there to train. And I was just like, the whole time I was just like, that's the coolest. Like that's what you want to see in a gym. There's just some kid there

Maybe 14 15 and he's just benching and squatting on the Smith machine. That was awesome to watch So that's a good vibe for that gym, right? Trond I think you have the most stories Yeah, so, uh Let's see What did I do? It's hard to remember No, so I had I also didn't didn't didn't have anything planned yeah I just wanted to go on and try out like machines and stuff like that so I messed around with the Okay, he's frozen. We'll give him a second.

No, he's back. He's here. Maybe. I mean, South Dakota just got Wi-Fi, so it could be sketchy. Oh, I learned that. Yo 605 is a little behind. Beck, you guys got me? Yeah, buddy. All right. Yep. You guys hear me now? Dakota just got wifi so it could be sketchy. Oh, I learned that. 605 is a little behind.

Beth, you guys got me? Yeah, buddy. All right, yep. You guys hear me now? Yeah, so start from Circus Dumbbell if you can. All right, so Circus Dumbbell, did that for the first time, that was fun. And then I did,

and I'm just, going dead again, son of a bitch. That was one of my biggest mistakes. He just does not want me to tell this story. Nah, you're good. We can hear you. We don't need to see you, so keep going. Oh, okay.

All right. You guys keep freezing, so then I stop talking. All right. I'll just tell the story and then retell it as many times I need to. So I did the circus dumbbell. That was fun. Did an overfilled sandbag. That was fun. And then Colton brought in the rocks and picked up the rock and had a, you know, lapped it really easy, brought it to my chest and I was going to shoulder it and it felt so good. I had an intrusive thought, man, this feels so good, I could probably just press this.

And before I even recognized the intrusive thought, I started to try to press it overhead. And ended up dropping the rock on my head a little bit. Got a nice little sliver cut above my eyebrow. It took out a couple of chunks of hair. A lot of hair. Yeah, a lot of hair. A small animal's worth of hair got pulled out of my scalp.

Some of it was pulled, some of it was just sliced by the rock. And then the great thing was, like I went to the bathroom and applied direct pressure to stop the bleeding I came back and Colton came and found me and he goes Oh did the rocket you too and he showed me his hands and the rock just from loading it that morning had sliced like Three of his fingers and he had them all taped up. Oh, yeah, he was all taped up I thought he was doing that for like like he had no that was from loading that rock into the back of his truck Yeah, it got me a bit too. I was able to shred it off with some deadlift bars, but it got me a bit too.

Now, yeah, that rock is a menace. I hope I don't know if they can file that down or chip that down or something, but. Yeah, I think you could just take it, take a hammer to some of those edges and you ought to be able to scuff it up and smooth it out a little bit. Nice. Does anyone want to tell the story of the the Mastinomics choir, because that was like. Ridiculous. I'll tell my lifting story first before we can end with that.

Who the fuck are you? I'm fucking big. So I'm at that time, I was a week. I was a week out from my strongman show, and I basically needed to get, you know, a little bit of heavy lifting still in. So Colton had told me they had a circus dumbbell that only weighed 80 pounds. I was like, well, that's great because that's like top end of where I could start to warm up and I'm shooting for 115 on my comp coming up.

So I had worked up to like 107, you can call it 105, but the axle was 80 or the, the circus dumbbell was 81 and they had some thick ass collars. So that's 82 to me. And, uh, so I'll take that as 107 pounds fully locked out for a two pound PR. So I was ecstatic to hit that. I, you know, watching the video back, it actually looked fucking great other than it was rolling around on my shirt. Cause it was, it was, it was, I feel like it was a freshly painted circus dumbbell, so it was really slick, so it didn't wanna like sit on my shoulder worth of shit. So I was struggling with that, but then the press

was beautiful when I watched it back. Big shout out to Angry Monkey Ryan, he got a great front end video, appreciate that bud. And that was really the only thing I had in mind that whole weekend was just I wanted to hit a heavy, I wanted to hit a heavy circus dumbbell, and I't want to end on a bad note. So I took my little PR and, you know, just kind of fucked around for another hour after that. Did the, jumped in the posing room at least twice, I think. So my shirt ain't never been off that much in a

long time. Uh, the, my favorite machine they had there was the Arsenal strength side lat row, or sorry, side lat raise. And it was was wild too because like me, Joey and uh Ryan DeFeo used it so we're talking like five five to six five all in like a matter of like like two minutes and it would like it we all found like the perfect handle kind of feel for it and got I got a disgustingly burning lats after that so I thought it was a great machine very impressed with that running lats after that. So I thought it was a great machine. Very impressed with that. The gym is itself had a lot of cool shit. I don't know. Whoever wants to tell the stained group picture photo or Creed jump in. Yeah, her too.

Sean, what did we do buddy with the group photo? Yeah, you have the best storytelling here. As he's frozen. Gosh darn it. Brad, what happened with Creed in the group photo? Well, as we were all gathering around for our big group photo there, it was perfect timing that a little ditty from Creed called Hire happened to come through those speakers. happened to come through those speakers. And we just inadvertently, like a Disney film, broke out and song together as the Mastinomics Boys Choir.

Well, and ladies choir, because there were one, two ladies, two ladies. And we just belted it out and it was beautiful. It still brings a tear to my eye thinking about it. Me too. This is ridiculous. I had just assumed that it was beautiful. It still brings a tear to my eye thinking about it. Me too. That guy is ridiculous. I had just assumed that it was a request. I was like, there's no way that things lined up that.

I don't know, but like someone definitely cranked it up. Cause that was the loudest the music had been that whole day. So there was something, a little insight there. So, um, Tanner goes, let's get a group photo. So I'm now going to try and recruit people. Right? So I'm running around making sure everybody that's wearing a massomic shirt is in there. And as soon as we all started gathering, that's when the song started. And that's when I was like, is this on purpose?

And then I think somebody was like, go turn that up, right? Like I think that that was one of those like, I think it was right when we all started gathering the song started. So that as we all posed, that's when the chorus kicked in. And I think somebody clicked in that like, okay, this is going to be funny. But no, it was not on purpose. It was not like somebody was like, put this song on during this because I was with Tanner and Tommy while they were gathering everybody, but it was just perfectly timed. I had asked them, I just assumed that they told them, hey, when we start gathering, play this song.

Nope. And that's not what happened at all. And it was, I think as we were all gathering, a few guys started like humming and singing very, you know, singing low and then more of us started joining in and then So he's gonna say as I think that the gym people here eyes Staff they saw him hurt and then they started cranking it up for us. And then right at the end there, you just hear me go fucking ridiculous and that got like a huge laugh from the crowd. Like there's no way that that was real, but it was and that was really funny. And then I know last year you guys did Costco, but I think for this time there was no plans for lunch.

Yeah, no Tommy Tanner didn't have anything set up and I didn't want to go to Costco. I didn't want to fly across. No, I didn't want to go to Costco. That was not... That wouldn't have been fun. I spent a lot of time in Costco's in the past four weeks. I wasn't thrilled to go to another one. I will, one last gym story before we jump on lunch was I had ran out, I knew that Tanner had brought Brad's pads to Tommy's because I had ran out I knew that Tanner had brought Brad's pads to Tommy's because I saw him in his truck that morning I think when he was loading the grips I saw him the night before when he was loading up the grip stuff so I was like okay cool because Colton had told me that Los Campionos only had one pair of shitty pads and I know

there's a bunch of people doing strongman stuff it's like well that's not gonna work we need more more more drop pads than that so I ran out to Tanner's truck and I was thankful it was unlocked because he was recording the YouTube video so I wasn't gonna ask him for his keys or anything while he was like fucking literally interviewing the gym owner so his truck was unlocked so I grabbed the pads out of the back, went in, used them and I was literally again in Jen's car ready to go to lunch and I was like fuck I didn't bring Tanner's pads out and so I had to run back in and grab them because they were like basically like put away with

the other pads like like like they were like they were like, they were the gyms and they would have been fucking gone until the next time someone went to Sioux falls. So I ran back and threw him in Tanner's truck and he didn't even know they were gone. Uh, he, cause I was talking about it later that night and I told him that I took them out and put them back in.

He was like, yeah, I saw them in there. And I was like, Oh, those, those look like mine, but I don't remember bringing them in. And when I opened my truck to leave, they were in my truck again. So I figured, you know, I don't know. So I did get a kick out of that. And then that kind of took us right to lunch where there

was a lot of staff, some of the people wanted to go to the hotel and change and get cleaned up. But a lot of us, I at least I was in the group that was more like, well, it's already like one o'clock. If I go to the hotel, I'm not going to get back out to like two or three. I do have one sticks. Before you get that far. I have one story from the gym parking lot that I think Trond is going to want to be a part of.

Yeah. Okay. So Trond pops his trunk and he's got eight of these bells of steel stringers that he wants. He got for a dollar each or something crazy like that. And he's like, does anybody want one of these? And everybody's like, does anybody want one of these? And everybody's like, I don't even know what they are. I don't know what I'd do with them. And he's like, buddy, they're a dollar, take them. So I think we got Bryce to take one.

I think, Paul took one. Matt took one. Sunling, yeah. And then we're right next to Tanner's truck as you're loading in the pads. Yeah. And I just turned in Toronto and I go,

just throw one in Tanner's truck. Like what's the worst that would happen? Yeah. Troll Joey comes out and just throw one in. What's he gonna do? So that was pretty funny. Tanner was like, what the hell is this? Where'd this come from?

And he hasn't given it back yet. So, so it's his now. What to do with it. So. Yeah. Tried my first. given it back yet. So, so it's his now what to do with it. So yeah, tried my first I was, I was selling those pretty year. Next year. Yeah, that's probably what's gonna happen is I'm gonna come up in July and he's gonna stick in the back of my truck.

Suddenly, there'll be 10 of those back in your truck. Nobody knows what to do with them. I didn't I couldn't I don't I don't need this. Yeah. I think you guys all went to sushi and none of us wanted anything to do with sushi There's 20 of us there. So Not everybody went for sushi though, yeah No, yeah, we'd had like there was seven or eight people at a bocce and like ten people at our table I think so

But it was cool. It was a great food. I've never I've never had yum yum sauce before at least to my knowledge It's the greatest fucking tasting thing in the world. What is I got? I got that Keith. I got not just a clever name take a botch and like I just had a basically had a big place plate of rice left when I was done with all the meat and veggies and I just dumped the rest of the rice in the sauce and kind of mix it up. And I

was like, Oh, this is the best thing ever. But yeah, I've got a lot of good conversations. Talked to Gary a good bit, who I'd never really talked to before. And just, you know, fucking big angry monkey there. Whatever the fuck he ordered, it came out on this like- Did you guys see it? Sex on the beach.

It came out on like a raft. It was like a flute. Like it would literally look like something out of like a jungle. It was the weirdest, like most decorative, like platter plate. It was very a flute. It literally looked like something out of a jungle. It was the weirdest, most decorative platter plate. It was very interesting looking. But it was great food. And I know, Joey, you guys went back to the hotel,

got cleaned up, and then ended up going out and pretty much consuming from 2, 3 o'clock until the end of the night. Yeah. Which I didn't want to be a part of. Now, we ended up in a place called Blarney Stone, which, again, would there last year. Would 100% recommend. Yeah, they were good to us.

The service was great. They didn't flinch when we told them, like, yeah, there might be 20 of us coming. And yeah, I think about 20 of us were there by the end of lunch. Had some wings, had some chislik, had some cheese steaks, mealoo. Now, was your chislek actually, because there was some debate on that. Like, like Jen got chislek later that night and it was just beef tips, essentially. Yeah.

But one of the locals was saying that chislek specifically needs to be lamb, I believe. I mean, back when lambs existed in South Dakota, yes, chislek was, was sheep. John, I think you're the think you're the expert on that. Yeah, it's just for some reason, there's just not a lot of sheep ranchers or shepherds or whatever you want to call them in South Dakota. So it's hard for them to source lamb at restaurants. So I think they're gonna just get beef,

which is nothing wrong with that. No, no, it was delicious. Absolutely. My wings were pretty good. Probably the best presented wings. The guy asked me if I wanted ranch and I was like, I don't need ranch for these hot wings, but I didn't realize there was vegetables on the side

because sometimes you don't get vegetables. So I ended up getting ranch. Sunling razzed me pretty hard for not getting ranch in the Midwest. You told him no and then you asked him to bring it up later. I know and he was always causing trouble. It's a nice story I've heard you cause trouble with the waiters. The kid was just like I thought it was weird you said no and I was like I know I'm sorry can I please have that ranch?

And then Tanner showed up with, um, with his box of, Oh, this old thing. And then, uh, yeah, everybody kind of headed to remedy directly after that. We got a really funny picture. Um, yeah, that was all thanks to Brad. Brad, do you want to give that story? Yeah, they had this little, I don't know, tin sold lit up. It looked like, I don't know, maybe like an ornament or an arch. Or something. Yeah, and I saw that and we had just seen the Cessnys Christmas photo. Oh, that's what I was going to say.

Yeah, Tanner and I saw that as we were walking over to the Blarney and I just thought that was hilarious and I thought we needed to seize this opportunity to one up the Cessnys and I don't know if we did or not but I think it's pretty hilarious. I love it. I'm getting it made into a Christmas ornament. That was a good group photo for sure you guys that'll be a good one to have. Yeah that was a lot of fun. And then, yeah, I think we all hit remedies up. I was gonna, cause we ended up with like the people that did the sushi. We ended up almost having like too much of a break. Uh, cause it was like, I got back to the hotel at like two 30 and we didn't like

get to remedies till like five 45 or something. So probably, cause Tanner and I were on the same floor and we just almost, almost every single time that one of it, like I saw Tanner like six times in the hotel. So it was like, oh, uh, he was like, yeah, I'm, I don't know that I want to hang out at, or I don't know that I want to be in the room until six o'clock. So I, you know, I might check discord around four and I was like, yeah, I probably will too. And then when, when he didn't see me respond or anything around four o'clock,

when he was heading over, he kind of knew that I was just laying in bed pretty comfortable and I sure was, I had not got dressed or packed or anything at that point and I was like, all right, I'm to, I guess I need to get up and start packing because I didn't want to have to deal with that later that night or in the morning. So, uh, yeah, we headed over to remedies. Like Jen, me, Jen, bunch of guy, I think Brad and a bunch of other people walk over remedies around five 30, five 45.

Once we saw you guys were moseying over there and, uh, we had that big room in the back, we were able to take over, uh, $5 wells for everybody or not wells, but I've had drafts and you know, it's just a good time there. I think we were, we only had the room from six to eight, but like they didn't kick us out and we ended up being there to like nine, nine 30, which is the best.

Um, cause I didn't want to go to bar hopping with the other, with all the young kids, but we ended up going bar hopping a little later, but, uh, a lot, a lot went down at remedies, but I'll let everyone else tell their stories for I got, I got at least one I want to get into a little bit. I'll go. Um, cause I left, I think 7 15, 7 30.

I was overstimulated. I was done. I was so tired. And as much as I was like, I know I'm not going to see some of these people in person for a year or two. I have regrets on that, but at the same time I was just done. I came back to the hotel room and called my wife and was like, I'm very happy I came, but oh my god I'm tired. Right? Because I'm just like, I'm in

performance mode the entire time I'm there and I just got tired. I just got tired. I went to bed, I think nine o'clock, I was out, just out. We did have one good comedic opportunity though. I hope you remember it when we were outside the bathroom, right as we got there. It was me, you, and I can't remember who else it was, but some other guy was standing there with us. He noticed that you had something that said, massonomics. And he was just like, Oh, massonomics. What is that? And again, it's killing me that I can't think of who else

it was. But then he notices a second person also wearing Yeah, he's like, Oh, okay, you too. Then he notices I have the sand hoodie on this. So he sees like, you know, massonomics since forever down my sleeve. And he goes, Wait a minute, what is going on? There's a cult. I said, Well, that's actually what we're here to talk to you about. And he goes, wait a minute, what is going on? I said, well, that's actually what we're here to talk to you about. So those guys are going to build on that.

I was going to build on that story real quick. Cause there's another very adjacent story. Hogan at pizza kitchen was wearing his you and you shirt and a guy comes up to him and says, Hey, what, what university is that from? And's like no no it's not a university you know it's my buddy's podcast or something like that and he's like oh no no what university is it from he wouldn't take like no for an answer and then he's like sort of telling him about his favorite university or something just stupid and it was just the greatest interaction so sorry this Hogan would tell it better than I did so ask him. Those guys ended up being um when I went order my first beer, they called me over to their table and they're just like are you really from Canada?

I'm like, yeah, and they were just like They're not listening to this they were dicks they were absolute dicks and they were just like well How can you speak English if you're from Canada? They were just like the most like Ignorant Americans. I think I've heard. I don't know if they were playing a bit or anything, but they were just like, your English is pretty good for somebody from Canada. Like they were just mean and they were like, say something Canadian in this microphone, we're content creators.

And I got I wish I got I wish I had been wearing my anti influencer shirt because I fucking hate content creators. And so I just hit him with some. Our content creators. You're a content creator. So I started hitting him in it. So like the hands me the mic. You're one of those self-hating content creators.

I absolutely am. And they're like, say something Canadian. So I just hit him with some like letter Kenny, like fucking get your fingers out of your ass, but like whatever. Like I just hit him with some letter Kenny stuff. And they were this is the best. Well, we're going to post this is going to be so cool. And I was like, bud, like whatever. Like I just hit him with some letter candy stuff. And they were like, this is the best. We're all we're gonna post this. This is gonna be so cool.

And I was like, buddy, I'm from like three hours north of you, like calm down. Yeah, I definitely, those guys ended up being a bit out of pocket for me. Yeah, and that's just when I went and pretty much hid behind Hannah for most of the night. Like I was just, Oh, Hannah's great. I was just like, I'm overstimulated, but I don't want to leave yet.

Can you help? And she was just like, got you. And she bounced for me a little bit, which is great. She inadvertently burped in my face like four times that night. And I never do you think I got her back. Well, either way, I got her back with the most brutal fucking burp on purpose. And she almost fucking puked and it was great Payback Concentrated chicken parm right back

It was brutal like her face was just so disgusting. I was yep Hannah might have had the coolest shirt this week. Yeah, breaking parallel shirt was really cool. Yeah Yeah, a lot of us have those shorts. I'm too many of us has seems like not as many have the shirt Well because the shorts were those limited edition. Yeah, you know, I don't even remember the show cuz the shirt was like way way old school Maybe and that's what got Austin on it, right? Yeah, just make the shorts And then yeah, I don't have anything to say about the rest of Saturday night. You guys take it. Kurt, you want to stick remedies first, I guess. There was a pretty bizarre

bathroom scene. If everybody remembers that. Yeah, the one I'm well, there's two. Are you talking about the the the noise one or the picture one? I'm talking about the noise one. Okay, you tell the noise one and I got a picture one which is we'll fucking trump that one No matter how bad it is. It's really fucking weird what I do a permission from everyone involved to tell it Just just for my own sake. I think I'm gonna keep But like if I went in to use the bathroom and there was a guy in the stall and I don't know what the hell He was doing but he was yelling really loudly and on him. Everyone heard it over the course of a

half hour. I assume everybody at the bar heard it too, with how loud he was being but it sounded like he was in some kind of distress or pain based what was going on and then he started trying to get my attention. Excuse me sir, excuse me sir, excuse me sir and I was not, sir, and I was not at all. And eventually I need to know the time, please, what is the time? What time is it? And I'm like, I don't 730. Well, you know, whatever. And then I left got out of there as fast as I could. I come to find out like 20 minutes later. Apparently he

was still in there and pulling the same routine with a couple other crew members too. And I overheard them telling the story. I was like, wait, that same guy is still in there. pulling the same routine with a couple other crew members too and I overheard them telling the story I was like wait that same guy is still in there they're like how long ago were you in there I'm like at least 20 minutes ago they're like yeah something's going on I gave him the time at 8 o'clock so he was still in there at that time so you guys met the white rabbit because he was very late for the very important date and you ignored it. Late.

Do you know where he would have taken you if you had given him your attention? Pound town. Pound town. So he didn't ask me what time it was, but I did get the, I described it to a couple people who agreed, it sounded like Dan Bell having a heart attack on the toilet kind of thing. Like it was just the most like loud grunting, like constipated grunts. And I got out of there as quick as I could. So that was, that was, that was a bathroom story. Number two, number one that, you know, well, technically number two, I guess. But so in

back to the story, number one. Oh, wow. So there, do you guys remember there was briefly we saw a security guard running past the doors outside at one point and a lot of people kind of like was like, oh, what's going on? There's like one of the local security guards is running, assumingly searching for someone. So there was a security guard outside, running around looking for someone.

So I had that in the back of my head from earlier. So I go take a piss. I think this was, this was, this would have been pre, you know, guy asking for the time. And there's the security guard up against the door kind of waiting to get in the bathroom. There's two you obviously there was someone and you know on the on the john and someone taking a leak. And the security guard was just standing outside I assumed he was just waiting in line take a piss. And he was extremely agitated. He was not a police officer. He was security guard.

Seemed really pissed off was looking at his phone phone, saying, motherfucker, it's this time, I'm so late for this, I'm so late for that, I got so much to do, blah, blah, blah, whatever. Just seemed like he was coked out of his fucking mind, like nervous, like irritated, just really fucking weird vibe. Antony comes out of the bathroom, big Antony. The security guard runs in, takes his phone over the stall is has the camera on and is either

Using the camera as like a spy cam to see who's in there or take a picture I can't really tell because the door was open I kind of observed the whole thing But it wasn't it was so like out of it out of body experiences like did he just take a picture of him or take? A video either way his phone was used to look who was on the John and the guy just ran out So yeah, I you know end of this day He's probably looking for a suspect of some sort or someone he was trying to chase down,

but like, that's not fucking legal or PC and any fucking rhyme or reason. Like you don't fucking look at someone's dick while they're taking a shit. That's the weirdest fucking thing in the world. Like that's exactly what fucking happened. Like, and so come out. So I went and talked to Anthony right after this happened

because he was basically just leaving because I didn't know who was in the stall taking a dump and I kind of told Anthony the thing he's like, yeah I saw that I saw him run in there I didn't know what happened and I told him and he was like kind of well That's really fucked up And then as we were talking one of our other friends Mo had come out of the John because that's who was on that was who? Was on the John so then I feel obligated

I gotta tell Mo what the fuck happened and he was was like, like Mo literally someone just took a picture you've taken a shit and the security guard. And he was like, what the fuck? Obviously as anybody would be, he was actually less annoyed I think than I would have been. I would have fucking called 911 immediately and fucking I saw the guy would have fucking decked him cause that's just fucking weird.

Cause he has no fucking right to do this. He's not a cop. If he was a cop, it'd be one thing. He's not a fucking cop. He's a fucking rent a cop security guard. Inappropriate, not do this. Not a cop. If it was a cop, it'd be one thing. He's not a fucking cop. He's a fucking rent-a-cop security guard. Inappropriate. Not fucking legal. Really fucking weird.

Predator fucking, like, pedo fucking vibe. What? Yeah, well, that's what he looked. He looked like the fucking guy that Chris Hansen would fucking tell to take his... Dude, just go with the story. It all plays into it. His fucking vibe was more of... Was gross.

His vibe was gross. Yeah. So we tell, like, the owner of the bar, he didn't really seem to care. He was kind of like, yeah, I can kind of look into it if you want, but it was more like, are you going to push this? Cause I don't give a fuck kind of like attitude, you know, and that was it. I gave, I gave him all my personal number. So if he had to, like he wanted me to like, you know, basically be a witness of anything.

And that was just fucking weird. And then like half hour later go into the bathroom and that's when I hear a damn bell on the toilet and I was even weirder. So it was just a very weird fucking bathroom experience at remedies. Very odd. And that was my bathroom. Well, that's welcome to Sioux falls. Apparently. I wonder if it was the security guard on the toilet that you guys all heard. That was all like, if he was that agitated he was like I had to poop I had to poop.

He did? Oh wow. Because he was like I'm telling you the guy was like worried about the time. I've got to poop I've got to poop at this time and there's somebody in there this is fucking ridiculous who's in there taking up time while I need to be pooping. That would be wild but I never I definitely never saw the guy after that. Because he was on the shitter. Screaming at you guys.

I definitely would have had an altercation with him so that's a good point though I don't know. Right cuz he was on the shit. I've been like hey screaming at you guys With him so that's a good point though. I don't know I didn't take a picture of him because I think that's fucking weird So I couldn't tell you it was on the toilet. Well, you had to wait till he's on the toilet to take the picture Yeah, well, no, that's I'm saying if it was him nonetheless. So yeah remedies With three new Hall of Fame jacket level Winners so Big Jen got hers and she was- She got two. Mathias's jacket, which was hysterical and like no one knew until like the pictures

were already taken and they had redo all that. It was great. So then it was a big spoiler, you know, the, the upset of the year, Mathias did get his Hall of Fame jacket. We didn't know it was completely out of left field. We didn't know it was coming. And then I believe it was the first master completer.

We got big scans that hit all 15 or 16. 16. Yeah, so fantasy. That's 15 for the jacket and 16 to be the master completer. So he must've hit two that weekend or already been at 15 and then through falls got him 16. But either way good for him. And that was great to see all those guys.

And then we were, like I said, we were camping out at Remedy's well an hour, hour and a half had passed when we were supposed to get kicked out. And then the Minnesota Department of Lifter Safety, I got that right, I believe. Nice. You know, they're a bunch of fucking 20 to 23 year olds.

So they were antsy to start bar hopping. So I think they were gonna go to some fucking cowboy bar or something and then they got talked into going to lucky. And then they were, they left at lucky's probably 20 minutes before the rest of us kind of eventually left. So I think a lot of us were just trying to camp out at the remedies until we essentially we got closed. Um, cause remedies closed at 10, I believe.

So I don't know, around nine 30 or so, I think we all ended up. All was in like the 80% of us, 90% of us that were still there Took the fucking journey from remedies to lucky Which I feel like it's four minutes. It's for No, it's there were people I'm just telling me there were people that like cut off from our party and we're already there I'm like finishing up their first beer by the time Bryce's drunk ass got us there Bryce and Tommy were leading the way I believe. And we went, I don't know, maybe it was the most direct route, but it was not a four minute walk. It was a 15 minute walk. For reference, Keith, from my window, I can see Lucky out of the hotel and Remedies.

Even once you cross the water, it was still at least 10 minutes from the water because it was like stoplight stoplight stoplight Okay, so he took it. Yeah. Yeah, there's there's a footbridge behind We did the hotel and even with that it was still cuz Jen and I came back The driving bridge because that's the way the GPS wanted it. Yeah, but the foot we took the footbridge But I don't know we went down It just seemed like it was a very long trip So me and Brad found lucky's the next morning and it's like literally like from Our hotel room you can see the lucky's sign down the back alley

but uh, I don't I don't did you guys I saw I was at lucky's until 11 give or take and there was probably there was probably still 20 of us. I think maybe 30 of us guy 25 was probably started there and when i left. I don't know why i was definitely one of the there was wasn't we had a whole lot of people peel off from that initial group that went over i don't think i accept the the whole minnesota department of safety they disappear but i didn't see them at luckies to begin with i think they were playing pool and then they are already another bar before we were even done with the first beer because that's just what the kids do, I guess. I don't think I talked to them at all with Luckies. Yeah, I don't know. I know I saw Kurt.

Kurt was nice and hydrated. Toasted. Absolutely. Absolutely. After a strenuous workout like that, you gotta replace those fluids. Yeah. I just did what I had to do.

And I talked to Brad a lot, talked to Toby a lot, talked to Tanner and Tommy and Ryan DeFay. I talked to a good bit of people. We do gotta give our good friend, Big Paul, some shit. Paul did not make it out to any of the Saturday night events. I know he, I heard he had some family in town and you know, had to prioritize that. But as always, there was definitely some

Shit talking in your direction Paul just some good ball busting that you didn't make it out So just be aware of that, but it was all from all from love He had the funniest line of the weekend to me What was that? when I Forget who was going to the blob and everybody like I like that We all started kind of chirping each other. Like you can't lift that. Like what's wrong with you? And I think he said,

why don't you try somebody else's best? Yeah. I can't wait to use that in real life. Cause you almost have to like stop and think about it for a few seconds to be like, what did that mean? Oh, you fucking you're a dick. It's diabolical. That's really good.

Yeah, your best isn't cutting it. Try somebody else's best. It's very really witty chirp. I like that. It's very it's very good. So I think he did have my favorite line of the entire weekend as much as there were several of them. You got somebody while they were doing the hang and now I can't remember.

Oh, I did. I made somebody laugh that they fell. You got them to immediately drop. It's fucked up, man. As soon as you said it. And I don't even remember what it was. I don't remember what it was. I remember it happening,

but I don't remember what I said. The hang made for some good pictures. I took like at least a dozen pictures with the Keith head as like, that's just what I have to do now, that's just the bit. But I got the one with you in the background and it looks like it was done with the fucking app. It was art.

And it was perfect. I was so happy when I saw it. And then I got a couple of Tanner just making the most phallic faces that made a couple good memes. Actually, it might have been Tanner because he was staring off into somebody's soul like when he was up there like it was he was undertaker levels of evil like he was just like

And he had to have the most awkward kind of stance because he didn't want to land on it He wanted to be able to like of course basically on his legs and Earl on his feet not his fucking Rebuilt, you rebuilt ACLs. Yep. God damn it. Now, Kirk brings up a good point. What was it that I said? I made somebody laugh that they fell and I don't remember what it was. Or like, look, I can see something or I'm sorry, I can't think of it, but immediately got everybody to start laughing. Hopefully it's on camera somewhere.

Because I know, I knew there was one line I said that just like, everybody went silent, I said something, and then that person dropped. And I was like, oh no, I ruined their chances. But at the same time, it was very funny. Just not funny enough for me to remember, apparently. I figure we can get Brad and Tron's take on Lucky's and just the whole Saturday night.

And I'm curious how late you guys stayed. Because I tapped out at 11. Me and Jen walked back to the hotel and called her tonight. Based off Discord, everyone else was gone within the next hour and a half, I think. Because there were people saying they were home by 12, 31 o'clock. So I don't think I missed too much. Yeah, I think Tanner went to bail around. maybe it was probably around quarter to 12 or so.

Yeah, I thought he would get a, I thought he would join me and Jen, cause he was hurting. Yeah. Him walking to Lucky's, my God, I had never, like he would, he had a little bit, he had a slight limp the whole weekend. And when we left remedies, so call it like 9, 10,

9.30 on Saturday after being on his feet for 2048, basically 48 hours, you could, he was dragging his fucking bad leg. Like it was, it was a bad walk. I felt bad for the guy. Yeah. So yeah, when he, he said he was heading out, I took that as my assign that that was probably wise because I'm pretty sure I was passed out asleep by quarter after 12 probably. So, but, uh, and I think that's when a lot of the people left. I think I think Lou walked back with us and I think a lot of people left just before midnight or so.

So, but yeah, yeah, I was I was hurting. I was ready to go pass out. It was a long two days. Trond went to work. Yeah, yeah, I was a unpaid bouncer for a little bit there. Something about you checking IDs. Yeah, so I got two stories from Lucky's. Okay, the first one was when people were still there

and I was up at the bar and me and Bryce were getting a drink. We were gonna get a drink and then go off to the patio and me, Bryce and Matt were gonna smoke a cigar. were gonna get a drink and then go off to the patio and me, Bryce and Matt, we're gonna smoke a cigar. And there was a couple of ladies at the bar and she starts talking to me. She goes, hey, is there like a convention in town or something?

And I go, what do you mean convention? She's like, is there like a men's beautiful hair convention or something? Because I have never seen so many men with just luxurious, lovely hair in one place in my life. And me and Bryce kind of looked around and we were like, well, yeah, we kind of- There was like seven of us.

There was like seven of you guys that had long flowing hair that night. Yeah, I mean, you had like Tommy and Tanner and Bryce and me, and then you had the Minnesota, you know, safety lifting crew. There was a few of those guys had some flow. You had Lou, you had, you know, so yeah, there was a lot of large guys with very large hair and the girls noticed and were very intrigued as to what the heck we were.

And so me and Bryce told them, you know, we were in a hair club for men. So then we- Bryce said it was in a beat too. Yeah. And then we went out to the back patio there. And this, by that time we were probably out there. It was probably right when everybody else started heading out and leaving. And so we were out back.

We had lit up our cigars. We were just standing there smoking and our cigars started burning out a little bit. And my lighter ran out of fluid. And so I was checking my pockets looking for another lighter and all of a sudden a couple came up to me and just showed me their ID. And I looked up and I almost said, oh, I don't work here. But then I had an idea and I looked at the ID and I go, what's your birthday? All right. And you? What's your middle name? All right great. They either have a lighter,

no okay go ahead go in. Then a line formed up and so I just started checking IDs. There's a fucking bouncer right inside too so that's the best part they all got double dipped. double dipped. And by the girls had a lighter in her purse. She gave me the lighter. We lit up our cigars again. I gave her lighter or standing behind her. I said you guys are all good. Just go in. And the great thing was the bouncer was sitting on a stool in front of a full length glass door and watched all of this happen and then rechecked every single one of them. And he didn't say anything to us. But I mean obviously when you're you know when I'm standing in between you know Big Matt and Big Bryce. Yeah that's 700 pounds of fucking. Yeah, that's 700 pounds of guys.

So you got two and a half giant men. And of course, they immediately just went to me to start checking IDs. But yeah, then we finished our cigars. The bouncer did poke his head out and said, hey guys, it's gonna be last call here, so if you wanna drink, better get in there. And at that point

I went in use the bathroom and then Bryce was still there when I left he was I think that was a point of pride for him. He couldn't walk out the door Yeah, Bryce likes to close the place down. That's for sure. I think he's got one of the he's probably got definitely top three, if not the record of, you know, crew shutting down bars between Lyft hard and crew falls. Well, then, yeah. So then I wake up at one in the morning. Because obviously I went to bed at like fucking nine. There was a lot of there was a lot of pictures and chats by then. I know.

And I was just like, well, I was like, well, if they're still out, maybe I'll. And then, no, I'm not going to do that. I watched a movie. Yeah. And then Sunday morning, most of you guys had left. And we went to go to the Blarney, Brad and I, because I think we thought we were the last ones left.

And Blarney didn't open until 10. Here I am thinking I'm going to go and get a nice Irish breakfast, which consists of sausage, eggs, beans, haggis, whatever they had. And they're closed. So we ended up at Josiah and Yeah Yeah, yeah This is gonna be like a little bit of a praise for Sioux Falls versus Aberdeen customer service that place was dope absolutely incredible Mm-hmm. I need up there avocado toast and eggs and and had a really good healthy breakfast No, we went and saw the we went saw the falls

Big spicy pizza. Yeah. They met us there. Who was it that took the picture from the other? Was that Ryan that took a picture from the other side of the falls or something? Somebody posted a picture, zoomed in on two or three of you guys from the other side.

Oh, yeah. Where I look like I'm wearing a turban because it's like he's taking a picture from a potato. Like, I'd be fucking like 300 yards. Yeah, I think that was Gary. Gary. Gary. Yeah, I think that was Gary Yeah, he is definitely Gary I will never call him anything He told me where that comes from you guys want to hear that yeah, I remember I heard it

Yeah, he was waiting in a lot. Yeah, you can tell but somebody actually just asked him if his name was Gary Let's go. He was waiting in line at a restaurant It was like yeah They had a Gary and like a party for Gary, and like he was just the next person up, and they were like, are you Gary? And his daughter just got really, like what the fuck does that even mean?

So then like now, but then he named himself Gary at the Discord, I don't know if you can get that because there was already other Brads, or he was just like, eh, Gary works, but he's Gary. He's Gary on all his social media too, so it's like, I'm not gonna- You're Gary from now on forever, buddy. I'm not gonna see you be named Gary on three different social media platforms and then call you fucking Brad

Yeah, so travel home That's Sunday Sunday. I had a The the hotel I'd actually they didn't run a shuttle that early for me I I needed a six I wanted a 630 pickup, and for some reason, they scheduled me a six pickup, which really sucked because that ate into my morning. But I didn't want to have them reschedule it because I figured they'd fuck it up

because they actually scheduled a Lyft app, like an actual Lyft driver to come pick me up and just pay for it themselves, which was great. That's just what they do. That's what they did for me and Brad. Oh, okay. Then yeah, they must have closed the shuttle down then because I definitely did a shuttle last year

So that makes sense them. It's got to be cheaper to not I think trying I actually talking about that It's gotta be cheaper to just pay a few hundred hours and lift then like have someone on call and like keep a bus We're up and running and pay taxes and fees and all that shit on it insurance Got to the airport. I got super lucky on my flights home the first flight It was a there was a three seater on one side and it wasn't up, no one had sitting, no one had bought the middle seat. So I actually had a little bit of leg room and like shoulder room.

And then on my second flight, I was sitting next to a young lady and she kept sniffling like she was fucking sick. And I was just like, hey, it was annoying because it was kind of like Dave Tate fucking sniffle. And then I'm like, are you annoying or are you sick? Either way it is fucking annoying, but I don't wanna get sick.

And then right before we took off the flight attendant was like, sir, are you are you annoying are you sick either way it is fucking annoying? But I don't want to get sick and then right before we took off the the flight attendant was like sir Are you a couple and it's like no no no we're not traveling together He's like would you like to take the exit row and there was like so I got the exit row and there was no one Beside me it was fucking awesome So I had great flight wait I got great flights on the way home, and I think I was at my house by like 1 32 o'clock It's fucking awesome, So I enjoyed getting home. Where was your connection out of?

I flew into and out of Chicago. Was it O'Hare? O'Hare. Okay, okay. Yeah, me too. Yeah, and I had, I'm fucking, I'm like a master at O'Hare now. It's fucking, and it's always,

I always just bang on to be in a 20 minute walk no matter what, if I have to go fucking under the airport or not, because from Rochester to O'Hare, I had to go to the other terminal underneath the whole fucking runway and on the way back I didn't have to go under the runway but I would couldn't have been any farther I was like all the way at one end and then all the way at the other end so it was still a 20-minute walk it just wasn't

under the turn under the runway and I bear I had like 17 or no I got to my turn I had a really short layover on my flight home. I was kind of worried about that, but I think I got there and within like five minutes they were boarding. So I was very lucky not to miss anything that day. We actually, when we landed in No Hair, and I have a little more to tell, but you know, big ups to Brad because I was like, I got an hour, man, let's grab something to eat. And he's like, now let's go find your gate first.

And then we started walking, we found a McDonald's, I haven't eaten all day. And I was like, let's get a McDonald's and walk to my gate. And we get to my gate. And it says loading to Toronto in 14 minutes. And I was like, can I get on that flight? So I go up to the gate attendant, and I'm like, I'm on the next flight. Can I get on this one? And she's like, no, this one's to Toronto. And I'm like, no, no, no, I know.

But like, if I get Toronto faster, I'll take it. And I show her my boarding pass and she just swipes my phone. She goes, you fucking dummy. You're on this flight. Did you like screenshot your boarding pass from like three days ago? No, Apple Wallet. I just added to Apple Wallet. Yeah, but because of all the time changes screwed with me, right? So she's like, no, you're boarding in like nine minutes and I was just like, oh

So yeah, if it wasn't for Brad and Talking me out of sitting down and having something to eat. I definitely would have missed that flight I'm sure calm the pad for nothing. He saves the day. He did. He did save my day. O'Hare is familiar territory for me. I could tell. I literally was sitting at the gate after you left the same place I was two weeks ago when we returned from Jamaica.

I sat in the same chair at the same gate. How was your trip home? Keith, I wish I had an experience like yours, or I wish I had that quick of a turnaround. Sunday morning was really rough. So I think I left. You were with Mathias with the 430 departure bullshit, weren't you?

Yeah, yeah. My flight was at five. So when I left Lucky's, I wanna say at like 11, around there on Saturday night, there was definitely some booze for leaving as early as I did. I'm like, fellas, my flight's in like six hours. Like I gotta try to at least get some.

That'll happen no matter what, man. If you're one of the first to leave, I could have stayed there till fucking one minute before everybody else left and I still would have got shit. So just expect that and don't take it personally. I still do a little bit, but it's still just we're gonna bust your balls no matter what. Uber wasn't an option for me. I tried to schedule an Uber the day before and the app is basically like you got to be fucking kidding me. We're not coming to get you that early. And so yeah

my alarm went off at 3 and the Sioux Falls taxi service came and got me at 315, but they were actually early. They showed up at 308. So I was still absolutely getting the cobwebs out and then trying to get my wherewithal. And I get that call, yeah, we're outside, yeah, you know, I just had to grab everything and hope that I had everything packed from last night,

which fortunately I did. And then I was at Sioux Falls by probably like 4.15 or so, which was more than enough time to get through security and then still catch the flight. It's taking an hour to get to the airport. What'd I say, 4.15, I'm sorry, wrong time. I was there in like 20 minutes. Sorry.

Yeah, but the airport had not been till four though. So I was actually, were you able to get in? Cause I know that was a big thing with, that was a big issue with Mathias. Cause he's his his goal was to just stay up all night and yeah And I'm like dude like they're they close like this is like a one terminal like fucking like three Like there's not a lot of like they sure gonna close at like midnight not open up to like four or five And he's like no no no, and it's you might want to call him So he called him at remedies and he's like fuck you're right yeah they're not international they're not open

24 sevens i was definitely there before four and had no problem oh that's nice of them yeah yeah i guess we're gonna schedule you that early right um and then i got to i got to o'hare how long is that flight you know i slept the whole time so i couldn't i couldn't tell you how long both my flights were under an hour and a half. It's an hour, yeah. Yeah. An hour and 10 minutes, I think that one is. And then I had a four and a half hour layover before I flew back to Philly after that.

Yeah. That is the downside of like, I think you said like you got pretty cheap flights, but with the cheap flights usually come shitty layovers and really early departures. That's why I rather, like I paid a little bit more or probably a lot more, but you'd be all very, very quick layovers and very like reasonable departures. No regrets on my part though. Absolutely. It's awesome man. Who's glad to have you sick. Yeah. The three of us, uh, we went to the breakfast and I said, uh,

Sean, do you mind showing me the falls? Like, would you take me over there? So we spent probably me, Spicy Pizza, Daniel, big Daniel, big Gary, and Prad, and Tron, and I'll just stood at the falls for probably an hour and a half, just talking. Just straight up just talking. And like, we got like personal, we got, we won't get into it here, we got political,

we got like, it was really good connecting with you guys I do appreciate that like that's a level that we don't usually get into in the in the discord crew but like we got into that personal level and That was that was pretty amazing and then me and Brad I still had like two hours. We sat in my room I had to drink those beers. I had two beers sitting in the fridge I was like I got to drink these and they I had two beers sitting in the fridge and I was like, I gotta drink these and they went down. But then it was like, when'd you buy beer? Like we were, we were at a remedy or a bar. You bought beers to take home? Well, no, I bought, because when I left remedy, I was not done. I was

just done with being social until I got back to the room. You bought a couple cans to take. Yeah. Yeah. Cause I was like, I'm going to just do some time alone and talk to my wife and talk about the kids and everything like that. And then I just ended up not. So yeah, I had to drink those beers. Yeah, and the rest of the day went pretty good. I upgraded to first class.

So I remember when we were sitting at Blarney's, I get this thing going like, do you want to upgrade to first class for 40 bucks? And I was like, is that a good deal? And everybody at the table was like, yeah, yes, take it. So I go to the attendant and I'm like, is that still on the table? And she's like, actually it is. Or he was, and he's like, yeah, actually it is. So he takes my credit card and he upgrades me. I'll never do that again. That was a waste of my time and money.

That was not worth it at all. They wouldn't even let me pee. And that's, that's the thing. I know I posted the story saying like how stupid That was a waste of my time and money. That was not worth it at all. They wouldn't even let me pee. Wow. And that's the thing. I know I posted the story saying how stupid that was, but I was the second person on the plane. And I'm like, oh, can I just use the bathroom? And he's like, you have to wait. You're going to block people.

I think that's why. Because you would be blocking everyone getting on the plane. No, I was literally, I'm two seats from the bathroom. And I'm like, can I just use the bathroom? You have to wait till we're in the air. And then I was like, waste of money. Like, if I was at the back of the plane, I just use the bathroom? You have to wait till we're in the air. And then I was like, waste of money. Like if I was at the back of the plane, I could use the bathroom.

Just saying. So I don't think I would do that again. And then yeah, just landed and went home. So that's my trip home. Trond, you obviously just drove home. Yep, yeah, I just drove home. Had to make some returns at local stores and that kind of stuff.

All that fun, fun jazz. My wife sent me with, you know, a bag of stuff to return and, and, uh, so yeah, I had to run a couple errands and then, uh, yeah, then it was just dry against, uh, good, uh, cool breeze. All right. The wind, the whole way home. Normally, this is the time where we would ask the guests to ask us questions. But I think what I'm going to do instead is give us a.

I would like everybody to take 30 seconds to just kind of personally reflect on how much fun they had. Thank anybody they want to thank or anything like that, because I think we are winding down right now. I know I have my people in mind. But if you guys all want to take 30 seconds to just throw it out there, talk about just whatever you want to say, like your personal feelings. Take 30 seconds. Brad, why don't you go first? Yeah, I think most people know that Allison sent me out there kind of to save my soul. It's been a tough year. So getting to hang out with

the boys and the crew and my friends at Lyft was just a lot of fun. I appreciated the enthusiasm for the Brad the Pad stickers. I'm glad everybody enjoyed those. It's fun becoming part of the lore of the crew. And yeah, I just had a great time. It's so fun talking to nobody's a stranger. Some of us we may not know well. I didn't know big Kurt until Friday. Nobody did, bud. Yep.

And now I know him really, really well. And I hope he felt welcomed. And it was just a great time. And I just know him really, really well and I hope he felt welcomed and it was just a great time and I just appreciate all of you guys. So. Kurt, do you want to go next? Absolutely. So admittedly, I was nervous as hell when I got there on Friday and my friends around here, family around here, they're like, you don't know anyone and you're going out there. I was just like, yeah, but I think it's gonna be okay. But nevertheless, you get in a social situation with 40 guys and two girls who you've never met, you know, it's gonna be a little nerve wracking. There was absolutely no reason to be nervous. Everybody was so welcoming, you know, nobody was standoffish, you know, nobody was rude, nobody, you know, kept to themselves. Everybody was really, really welcoming. It was such a great decision to come out.

And I can actually kind of like summarize it down here as to why it was such a good decision or how good of a decision it was. I was on the fence, you guys know about coming out for the Lift Hard, Live Easy in July. But I emailed Dave today and he said, you're in luck, two spots just opened up and I grabbed one of them. So I'll be there for the lift hard, live easy.

Yeah, buddy. If you're listening to this and you're still on the fence about lift hard, there's a 50% chance you can get a spot and know about it within the next couple of months because 90 fucking lifters, there's going to be a couple of people drop off every month, pretty much going into the meat from here on out, I'd say. So get to get on the list, even if you're thinking about it. It's the worst case you got to do is, Oh, sorry, Dave, I can't, I can't make it after all whenever text you and says, Hey, can you make it? So definitely do that.

So I'm glad to hear that Kurt. It'd be good to see you again. Uh, Keith, do you want to do your 30 seconds there? Yeah, same as similar to Brad, you know, I wouldn't have been there without my wife. I wasn't probably going to go this year just cause you know, funds are a little bit tighter this year around the Honeycutt house than they were last year. And she was just like, she literally said, is the only reason you're not going money? And I was like, yeah. And she's like, just fucking go then. She's like, just do it, stop being a pussy and just go. So, you know, she motivated me for that. We did that. Paul and Jen

for the rides all weekend. Moe hooked me up with a little crew gift of some lifting straps and a very nice personalized note that was a very meaningful and just Tommy for opening up in his house like that. You know, I, I, as someone who opens my house to, you know, maybe not that many people, but you know, damn near sometimes it's a chore. Uh, Tommy's house is massive and fucking it is, it is

exponentially larger than mine. So he had the room and, you know, I had the ability to have a spare bathroom right there without having people actually go into like his personal space. So that was clutch. But just all in all, it was great to see everybody. And you know, let's see everybody here in July. As I've mentioned before, this was actually crowdfunded.

I wasn't going to come. I turned 40 in six days. And my wife said, I really want to send you somewhere. And she wanted me to go see the Northern Lights. And I said, well, you know what, for my 40th birthday, get a notch on my Hall of Fame card. What if you could send me to the Lift Hard, Live Easy? And she said, well, I don't have enough for that.

I'm sorry, yeah, thank you, somebody at Coupe Falls. And she said, I don't have enough for that. And I said, well, all of the people in my life would love to give me a present for my birthday why don't you ask them for help so she started to go fund me and actually this is like the closest to a sponsored athlete I'll ever feel you guys all raised money you know somebody gave six dollars and nine cents and then from there everybody just started giving sixty nine dollars and it got way past it somebody gave $6.09 and then from there, everybody just started giving $69. And it got way past it.

Somebody gave 200, somebody gave 69, 69, 69, 69, 69, and I got here. So big out to my wife, like honestly, like that was the coolest thing. I turned 40 in a few days and, you know, this being probably my last trip to South Dakota was definitely worth it. I do wanna thank Big Jen as well. I walked into Tommy's and she immediately

had a birthday present for me. And she got me some socks from my favorite wrestler that, it's a bit emotional because my old, I have a lot of fiend stuff. I have tattoos of Bray Wyatt and Jen found the wherewithal to go and source out these things I couldn't find anymore. And my other pair of socks have a hole in them that I can't repair.

So I'm hanging onto them, but I can't wear them. And she replaced those for me. And I, you know, I can't, I cannot thank big Jen enough. I want to thank big Hannah, big Grayson, Trond, honestly, man, like you made the weekend incredible, leading me around Sioux falls, keeping me up to date on pretty much everything. Like huge, the Brad hanging out with me on Sunday, Kurt coming out early, and just all the people that just like accepted me and made me feel comfortable and welcome. I don't think I can ever repay that.

And that's why we do what we do. Trond? Did you freeze right when I called you up? Nope. Okay, am I back now? Yep. All right. All right. So, yeah, I came out because I wanted to get rid of a bunch of bells of steel stringers. No, you know, last year, my first Mastinomics event was was True Falls. So I was in the same boat as Big Curt was. I didn't really know how to feel about it. You know, should I go and hang out with a bunch of guys I've never met before? Anything like that. And again, one of the best decisions I've made was just driving over there, getting a hotel room and hanging out. And like I said, was just like running into a bunch of friends, old friends that you never knew you had. And that's how all the all the crew feels like you come walking into the room. And you got, you know, four or five people saying hi, saying, hey, and you start putting faces to names and figuring out who who's who's who in the discord. And then it's just instantly, you are, you know, slapping each other on the back and you're lifting stupid,

heavy stuff or dropping stuff on your head and having a great time. And so, yeah, anybody that is ever thinking, is it worth it? It's worth it. It's worth coming out to once. It's worth getting to hang out with all these guys face to face at least one time. And so yeah, I'm just amazed at how far a lot of you guys all come. For me, it's a two hour drive. I'm not sacrificing nearly as much time or effort as a lot of people that make it.

And that just kind of goes to show how important it is to people and how impactful it can be. So, uh, yeah, I, uh, as, as long as I'm, uh, able to drive two hours, I'll, I'll, I'll always be here for December, uh, to remember. Um, and, uh, yeah, I hope to see a bunch of more new people next year. So, and of course, Tanner, Tommy, thank you for bringing us all together. You know, you guys built this brand, built this Crew Falls, built the Littard Livesey. It's now the envy of the lifting world. There's people that aren't even in crew that are like jealous and they want to come and they want to see what we're about and see what we are.

And that's huge.'s that's picking up steam yeah that's definitely pretty incredible if there's nothing else Keith you've got a checklist there yeah let's do I want to do one page or you know you don't want to do one page or you know let's do it we got a few minutes no so I want to do at least like let's at least the four that I just assigned to people so yeah just pick somebody and ask them no I've literally it's on the spreadsheet. So Uh, I've already what's a spreadsheet? Yeah fucking google docs. I misspoke. So what's a google docs unpaid or underrated? Uh big curt, you're not familiar with this yet. So we're gonna let big brad kick it off here I got one specifically for him. So big brad unpaid or underrated cheese curds

Cheese curds are underrated. Cheese curds are delicious. Hell yeah. I hadn't had cheese in six months, man. Those cheese curds were delicious. I had cheese curds at remedy too. They had Nashville hot cheese curds. Those are also exquisite. Were they deep fried or just?

Yeah. Yeah, they were fried. Deep fried. Deep fried cheese curds are top tier man yeah yep but then the the ones that tromba man those uh the bloody mary cheese curds yeah buddy yep cheese curds underrated always love it uh all right big trond unpaid or underrated the service at monks the service at Monks. Well, they did get paid, but they were definitely unpaid.

You know, there was like maybe 10 other people that weren't crew in the bar that night. And like Joey pointed out, there was like four or five servers and like another bartender. And like I ordered like a second Guinness and I I waited like 10 15 minutes and she just never came back She took Keith's card and never brought it back My credit card for 10 minutes before she brought it back So so yeah, definitely unpaid. I mean the beer was good. The food was okay. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it was okay Yeah, but definitely it was one of those. I think when we all walked in, she was like, Oh no. And that was the only place that happened

all weekend. Everybody else was like, no, bring us all of this business please. And I think she was a bit overwhelmed and you know, I had some sympathy for her. So that's why I've started helping her. It's just wild, but like, yeah. Yeah. I see it. All right. All right, Keith, no, no, no, you're next. You're next, guy.

I'm going to hit two of you with this one, uh, unpaid or underrated Tiger meat. Tiger meat. I'm going to have to go unpaid. It didn't taste bad. I had Tron's. It basically tasted like a raw steak with a bunch of McCormick's, you know Flavoring to it is a little chewy. Obviously, um, I could see me I mean in the I haven't had a club cracker and forever was just aren't you know

We buy like Ritz crackers for soup every now and then so the club cracker was a Yeah, but I'm not sorry not Ritz. Uh, the fucking the square ones with all the fuck saltines Yeah, saltines are the only cracker. I think I've only had a saltine cracker for the last several years, but nonetheless I Don't know if it's a tiger meat or the chicken but something wasn't sitting well with me that next morning And what came out of me looked like the tiger meat in the picture from Nate's fucking recap Video and sitting on the top of the John. I was like that ain't right I've night then I had and I was like right before we lifted to so thank God I didn't carry over to the to the gym

But taste it. Okay ish I don't know if that's what would torture my stomach the next day or not But for the for the unknown mystery of what did that to me? I have to go unpaid. I Actually really liked it It didn't do anything worse to me than everything else does Hey Kurt unpaid or underrated luckies. Unpaid. Yeah.

It, it, if I'm being totally honest, I didn't want to leave remedies from when we did. Uh, I was enjoying the conversation. I was enjoying the, uh, you know, the, the menu, let's say, um, I had the TV that had the Penn State and Oregon game on. But like you guys just said, I think that the crowd that was there at that point made it clear that they wanted to kind of try out some other kinds of establishments. And it was more about doing what everybody else wanted to do

and just being part of the gang. I am gonna go unpaid though. I wasn't really feeling lucky too much. Agreed. Hey Keith. Yeah, buddy. Unpaid or underrated the chicken parm at remedies. The chicken parm sandwich.

I think I gave it a lot higher rating on Jen's video. And because it was like after that first bite and the first bite was misleading. It was pretty decent for the first bite. But as I got into it, it just get, I don't know. It was not good. I definitely would give it an unpaid rating, especially after seeing the kitchen a little bit later when I was kind of in the back of the bar. Um, I could just see it was just like, cause you could just see they were just pouring chips out of a fucking Walmart bag and like the case. So it was just microwave trash and it was really not great food. Um, and then I was really kind of annoyed too, because if they

described it as like a Philly cheesesteak, uh, ish adjacent, I would have ordered it, but there was some like pulled beef or something or other. Yeah. Just in like seven people. Yeah. It looked just like a fucking chopped up Philly cheesesteak. And I was like, God damn it.

I would have fucking eaten the hell out of that. Um, but very unpaid. Uh, but like I said, I think I definitely was given it a different rating after the first bite, but it just, it didn didn't I don't know. It wasn't great. You mean your chicken parm? Yeah, seven. The bit was every fucking buddy there asked me if I knew there was a chicken parm sandwich on the menu. Yeah. And then I think the room got it. You know, and then I think then everyone started doing it sarcastically and I was just like, yeah, yeah, go fuck yourself. Yeah, you can avoid that

Mm-hmm. All right. I'll hit you with one Unpaid or underrated the pepper rats at Tommy's And who brought who brought those so Jen I think Jim brought a variety cuz I had a couple different ones Yeah, I had the one The the spicy one spicy ish one. I didn't have the cheese one, spicy-ish one. I didn't have the cheese one. I'll never eat pepperats with cheese in them. That's ridiculous.

But then I ended up buying some pepperats at the airport that are like game meats. So they had like pheasant and antelope and all that. Those are amazing. My kids even like those. It's really funny that my kids, if I just hand them meat and go, this has rabbit, they're like, mmm, rabbit. Like it's really funny. But the ones at Tommy's, no, those are unpaid. Putting blue cheese or cheese curds or whatever it was in them,

in pepperettes, no. Hard pass every time. All right. I will do the last two and just kind of shoot them off. So Brad and Tron, you're both going to get one. Keep it under a minute. Just so we can wrap this up. So unpaid or underrated Trond, the exclusive crew fall sticker. Oh, yeah, I forgot about that until I found it. And I was like, oh, shit, there it is.

I did the same thing. I found it in my, you know, in my fanny pack. And I was like like what is this? Yes, because I was like emptying out stickers at the end of the night and Well at the end of that night. I wasn't seeing too straight It took until somebody posted in the discord what it was and then I was like, oh now I can see it It's it's more of like a clear sticker with the book. Because like the sticker that Tanner handed you,

you can't really tell what it is. But then when Jake put it on his slap pull down or whatever, it was like, oh, that makes more sense. Yeah, so it's a clear decal to put on stuff. So definitely, definitely underrated. Perfect. All right, Brad, and to finish us out here, unpaid or underrated.

I hope you saw this when we were walking to Lucky's cars with Christmas lights all over them. I don't know if you, if you didn't see it, I don't know if anybody else I'll answer it. If you didn't, um, I don't, yeah, I don't think I heard it. Wait, no, I didn't see him. I think. Yeah. Doesn't that, I, uh, I have an opinion about it. I'm curious to see you or hear anybody else's. I mean, it's probably unpaid, but, you know, I, I can appreciate the effort and their enthusiasm for the season.

Yeah, I think maybe if it was just a random family car just driving around, but it was like, I don't know if Sioux Falls have this underground racing where everyone thinks they're in fucking fast and the furious. Cause during the walk, there were like seven cars that anytime there was a fucking, uh, red light turning green, the assholes were just peeling out. And I was like, it's a very heavily populated area with a bunch of drunk people,

fucking Jaywalking, you're going to fucking hit someone. And then like, right after that, I was already kind of annoyed at the drivers. And then I see like two or three cars in a row, just fucking all blinged out with Christmas lights all over them and I'm like I've never fucking seen that and that might be one of the weirder things I've seen in my life so I would say unpaid but maybe if I hadn't seen it after a bunch of douchebags drag racing I might have been underrated but I don't know but yeah that is the crew falls recap episode I'm gonna hit you with
