Good evening everybody and welcome to episode 6669 of the unpaid and underrated podcast. The podcast for crew by crew, featuring crew, memed by the rest of the crew. And, you know, the only thing shown on the walls at the Mastanomics Waco compound down there in us, western northeast South Dakota. I am up there down there. I mean, yeah, up there from us down there from. Well, that's the bit there. They're north of everybody. And Canada is there. Canada south of them, obviously. Yeah, we flew like in a straight line. You and I to pretty much to go to Sioux Falls like At least we were able to go through Chicago and didn't have to fucking go to like Atlanta

or something like that. I always had that passion too. Anyway I'm Big Joey and that's Big Keith. Howdy howdy. You're welcomed by Big Kim. Howdy. Yeah you might want to say hi there. Oh hello folks.

That's a big, big Kim from Barbell Rescue for anyone listening. Yo, that old brand, that old thing. All right. So let's start. What are you drinking? Thought I saw some bourbon over there. Oh, cheers. Yeah, just got a little bullet. This actually just happens to be neat today. Usually I throw in the big ice cube, but we got that. Then also, if I need to worry about hydrating, I get a little black berry lemonade, waterloo. I'm sure one of the Davis doesn't like it because he doesn't like fun. You know, he's not a fan of the waterloo, apparently. But we like the waterloo in this David household. Yeah, I jumped on it quick.

I am out of any can in the house, so I just got some plain old water. No, I can't say that it is a day was liquid IV infused water, which is funny because when I drink that at work a lot and my my my coworkers are always like, what the hell is in your drink? You know it either have an orange Gatorade orange Mio or liquid IV So like I never drink clear water at work and everyone's always like what the fuck are you consuming? That's how they say it too. They they say what are you consuming? I'm not the one that comes up with that All right. What about you? Joy? What are you drinking over there?

Having a Keith Literally do an episode by myself. I think I just talked to myself. That's what I was thinking. I was like, do I need to say anything here? Like, I know I've got the old Nova Scotia Keith and the

Nova Scotia glass. I got over here a couple of those. You know, like it was one of those fun things that you know, like it was one of those fun things that you know we always joke about influencer this influencer that whether we are we not and seeing the amount of people at the crew falls drinking those 0% Guinness's and all of them saying well ever since Joey brought him up on the podcast we've I've been drinking these and that's like And that's probably the most influencer I've ever felt.

That's pretty cool. Yeah, but then I realized I stopped drinking them. Ha ha ha. So now, every time I'm thinking, I could have a beer, I think, no, go have one of those. So those guys influenced me back. That's funny. To drink less beer.

So it was actually a pretty funny circle there, that I'm not an influencer. And yeah, you are.. No I'm not. And then it was like yeah. I feel like you've had a fair amount of ebb and flow on consuming alcohol and not consuming alcohol and it's like one month you do one month you don't and it's just like and you'll state it as unlike it's a fact that you don't drink any more. And then like two weeks later you're drinking and I'm like okay. I never said I don't drink. I'm saying I'm cutting back okay. I never said I don't drink I'm saying cutting back and I have been and then well Of course, it's a water. Yeah, and then something like crew falls will hit and I'll be like no

No, I'm cutting back and then I'll end up in Sioux Falls, South Dakota drinking for six hours with everybody I only have oh follow up on that. I had I think I put it on Instagram But I was the modello. I can't remember if I touched that I'm at that last week or not But I put it on Instagram. I think everyone thought I was gonna like modello. It was It wasn't pissed. I don't know like it was it was better than it wasn't pissed but like I don't know man, I had I had three beers that weekend and it was I Don't know it was it worse but better or worse because I had one the the brewery I just took whatever like number one or number a the guy just said it was like a light lager

So I maybe Modelo was I don't know did you brewery beer was worse than the Modelo and then McAulter was dope did you put a little lime in the Modelo never unless Tommy had some behind the chalk I didn't think I didn't have access to one okay you had it at Tommy's now so Modelo is a obviously a Mexican beer or a Mexican style beer and they are best served with a little bitterness of lime. What you wearing over there, Kim? Well I got the Sonomics stand hoodie and my lift shorts that just dropped and yeah and then you know just a shout out to my hometown

and Hutchinson Kansas football hat. Nice is that your first experience with that style shorts or do you have any of the lifting department ones? I bought the OD the team department once when those came out and then once I got those I was like I see what everybody's talking about now. So anyway, as soon as these lift ones dropped, I bought them. And then I might have three days ago bought the blue ones. I have both of them right here. I've got the black ones and the blue.

Joey, I think you mentioned the blue ones and I was like. I need more lifting shorts anyway, nothing fits, so hey, I need blue as well. Nice. I'm rocking the barbell rescue shirt that was mailed out by Kim himself, I believe, while he was in the lower 48 this year. If I recall. Right. I don't even have one of those I've got the chicken bake shirt on cuz I'm going through some stuff with work so I have yet to try chicken bake I don't even know if they have those here at and a lot up here in Alaska my wife does all that. I mean, they're worth trying.

Just like the Arnold try it once. Yeah, yeah, indeed. Indeed. It's on the list. I just got to if I ever go there, I need to just divert straight to the food court. Yeah. Straight to the calf. Get that chicken bake. Make sure you got some hot sauce in your in your best nomics fanny pack. that's what I did

Noted yeah, I cut one in half and I took a couple bites and then I was just like now This is missing something then I went wait a minute. I have Taco Bell fire sauce in my bag Hold it out dipped it in. Yeah, I was golden All right That's the kind of tips I need to know I Want to do a quick story and then we can get into the right in last week's episode So today I was so tired. I was laying in bed. My wife was talking to me from the other room I I don't even remember the setup exactly but I said something to her and I and I chuckled to myself because I thought it

Was funny and I actually like said the sentence and then said lol out loud like I was fucking Like Like I was fucking We both been working like crazy so like I literally don't haven't been seeing her as much so it's you know with on What's app or like, you know, we've been communicating on like four different fucking platforms and what's text and shit. And yeah I just I said my like my sentence or two sentence like story I told her and then it was a funny story and then I said lol at the end and I was like are you I So not only did you say lol out loud like a weirdo you said it to your own story Yeah, probably you didn't say it. You didn't even say it to somebody else.

I don't even remember the context other than that. I really don't remember the context. But yeah, I thought that was funny. I'm sure I'm not the first person to do that, but probably the first crew. Because I'm always the first we were to kill for stupid shit that I do. It's like that guy in the Chappelle show that when he was trying to battle rap Dave Chappelle, and then he dropped the the line and then he went Oh to his own line

Yeah, that's what you just did Well like Kelso does that on that 70s show when he yells burn afterwards So it's kind of like that but not really yeah Because lol is just literally just it was the dumbest thing and it was I laughed so hard like after the fact that we both Laughed. Did you lol? Yeah, apparently yeah It's just literally just it was the dumbest thing and it was I laughed so hard like after the fact that we both laughed Did you lol? Yeah, apparently? Yeah Maybe it was a maybe it was a literal lol an lol

This is why he can't do episodes on his all right. What was uh? I'm so confused on the episode. Oh damn it Yeah, yeah, you froze in there, buddy You were All right, well I definitely think Sorry, what we're gonna do next we're gonna rate the episode or we're gonna go into predictions Let's rate the episode didn't we already read the episode Did we rate did we rate?

We did it on the one who recorded earlier this week. Yep Yeah, so fuck you Tommy and Tanner. We're not gonna rate your episode this week. That's kind of will will preemptively I know well actually we'll never hear it and Tanner. I think it's funny So I'll give you instead of that I've been Consuming content from the crew falls based on them everybody's Yeah, you're right it does and It like makes my skin crawl It's weird. Would you say I've been?

consuming it? And hello. And today I was like watching some videos with my kid and he's only five. But he now knows Keith, Tommy and Tanner separately from everybody else. Yeah. So I was just like, Oh, who's this? Do you know who this is? And then Tommy came on. He went Keith. And I went, No. And he was like, Oh, no, you're right. That's Tommy. And I'm like, Yeah, buddy. And then you appeared. And he's like, that's Keith. And I was like, Well, you better know who Keith is. His head is everywhere in my house. Oh, yeah, I think I made like a one second appearance like falling off the pullout bar Like Tommy used so many of the misses like he must I just must not have been recording as much or it's just the Funnier some because it would be like completed lift completed lift and then like like ten people like not picking up an object Yeah, the back of my head appears in a lot of videos from this There was one cut where like someone was standing off to the side

and then like the very next frame, they were the one on the pull up bar. So it kind of I can't remember who it was. It was just really funny that it went from like it was like boom, boom, boom, boom. Yeah. And then last thing on the fill in the spot for the rate, the episode you guys obviously have clued into the Paul Foss and Mathias Cash meme. It's been a good one. Yes. Yeah. Yeah, that's a really good template. So I want to congratulate everybody for as far as they took those. That's been really fun. Okay, so it's this time of the year. I actually completely forgot we did this. I think I remembered like a few months ago and then didn't put the effort in to go find them.

But Joey and I did some predictions in December, I think it was December 26th on the episode with Carp of 2023, we made three predictions going into 2024. So we're just gonna go over those real quick and then we're gonna make four or five predictions for 2025 and then we can get the guest on the horn. Why don't we get Kim involved in this? Okay. So we've got three things where one year ago this date we tried to guess what would happen. Okay so I want to see who you think ended up being right.

Does this make sense? Okay so So, for 2024, will we produce more podcast runtime than massonomics? Keith says yes, I said no. Who was right? Podcast only. No YouTube or anything. Podcast only. I'm gonna go Joey. No it was Keith we beat them by minutes yep we edge those boys out all weekend we edge them all weekend yeah

no way cuz I thought to myself yeah a year ago I don't want to do that that sounds tedious I did I was going back to the spreadsheet, though. We had a run there where we were like 245, 230, like 215. There was like three months of like nothing under two and a half hours. And I think we we had the one three hour episode. And then we just like losing listeners. Dramatic. Yeah. For losing fucking host, I feel like I was I was fucking losing my goddamn mind. So cutting it to that two hours has been wonderful. Losing listeners dramatic

Cutting it to that two hours has been wonderful So we might not beat him like that's not gonna be part of next year's prediction or anything But like in all honesty like I don't think we will or if we do it's gonna be like by seconds Not probably the hour we probably beat him out a couple hours this year. So yeah But yeah, that was that was number one We probably beat him a couple hours this year. So, but yeah, that was number one. You guys are on the grind. Yep, so the second prediction that we made, Kim, was that we would have,

what was it? It was over, under, yeah, of five non-interview episodes. So as a podcast producing the episode, basically had five round table episodes or five episodes with someone else on, which essentially ended up all being roundtable episodes Some that Joey and I were both on some that one of us would be on I think I'm like We had any that either of us weren't on but uh

Basically like random like this we had some recap episodes and some you know some themed list episodes So did we have more or less than five? Keith said no, we wouldn't. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I said yes, we would man, um Serene when I jumped in on all this I'm gonna have to say under I can only think of a couple that I've listened to that. I think we're roundtable so under five It's it was right at six. It took me a while. I had to,

I actually spent about 10 minutes going through my spreadsheet and like going through and like, okay, that one didn't have a guess, that one did, da da da da da. And yeah, it was six from like starting the start of the year up until as of last week, basically. So when this comes out, yeah, when this comes out, the sixth one would have already just came out too. So it should end up being six, possibly seven for the year, but definitely over the five. It's a good thing I don't have the soundboard right now. Wrong again. Wrong again, Keith.

Wrong again, Joey. Just me and you going back and forth with that annoying thing. Gobble, gobble, gobble. Gobble, gobble. Whack, blub, blub. Wrong again. Wrong again. Joey. David. forth with that annoying thing. Gobble, gobble, gobble. Gobble, gobble. Whack, blub, blub. Long drive.

Going. To David's. That was actually really close. Like I couldn't do it, but that was good. I always, it every time he did it and then he did it into the ground, which made it even funnier. We don't know how to tell jokes without beating them to death. Oh, yeah. By the way, for the Davids.

All right. The last one, and this one is probably pretty obvious. Masanomics will hit 475 supporting members in 2024. Keith says yes. And I distinctly remember saying, well, just to make it even, I'm going to say no. And at the time we were like 375. Yeah I wasn't committed to that answer but who do you think was right? Yeah we're over.

We are over we hit the road to 600. Yeah good. Five. Yeah. No we hit 500 didn't we? Oh yeah okay the road to six yes you're right. Yeah yeah. We are on the road to six.

That's what the road two means Keith. I heard you heard. We're not there yet. So. That's where I was at. Yeah, we are on the road to say what the road to means key So that's where I was at that's good history so that was where it was that a year ago, yeah So 360 I have 372 but that would have been that episode released on the 26 was probably recorded on like I don't know minus seven days. So 21 so we did it we did it crew. Yep. So more or less just under yeah just under one year they've gained over a hundred crew. I mean so they have actually probably gained almost a hundred and fifty crew, a hundred and twenty five crew

because at least that many had left and we had actually we got Tanner to kind of open the books a little bit and like give us a breakdown of the top ten, twelve, thirteen crew because there was some of the guys that knew they were really high up. And outside of like two names, maybe three names in the top 12, you would never heard of anybody. Like they're just, I think they're just people that the credit cards just haven't expired yet possibly,

or they're just the most extreme lurker that's ever happened. Good for them. But either way, you know, they're still there. All right, so Keith and Kim, you're also welcome to be a part of this. Why don't you hit me with your next predictions? Because I see a couple here, but they don't make any sense to me. So go ahead. Did I not? I don't know. You added a couple, but they're kind of like here and there. There's one about

crew that's not about the podcast. So go ahead. crew that's not about the podcast. So go ahead. So let's go in 2025. Keith and Nate will meet in person for the first time. I say yes. Okay. I'm gonna, I'm gonna hope I do. So I'm going to say, I guess I have to say, well, to be contrary. Now I'm going to, I don't be contrary and say yes. No, I do need to, I do need to make it. Basically the trick would be, I believe in you Keith. Yeah. Well, the trick's going to be like, if yes. No, I do need I do need to make it basically the trick would believe in you Keith Yeah, well the trick is gonna be like if I end up doing the Arnold and I only go for Friday and go home

And Nate's only there Saturday again But you miss so much man. You miss so much at the anxiety But no stay behind the counter you stay at the best comics booth Yeah, your your role and this is I'm gonna put this out there now cuz and You know, I still have to kind of reach out to Tanner One of us just sits behind with an unpaid and underrated banner Mm-hmm and shirt our Sole job is to have mass anomics comm slash join opened up on a pad

tablet or computer and People that come by and go I've been following you guys for a long time. And then we go, okay, join the crew. Like we want you on our podcast. We only interview crew, like get on. And that's our job. That's literally our job, is to get supporting members. And we can have some other people helping us.

And that's literally it. Like me and you alternate, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, just sitting there. And that's our role. That keeps you you from the crowd that keeps me out of trouble Keeps me away from huck Finn And like that I don't think that's a bad idea I came up with that last year because I got guys there the whole time going. Oh, yeah, I know you I They talk about you all the time and I'm like then join crew so you can be on Well, you know, maybe maybe but if I jammed a tablet in their face

And I was like put your credit card here like we would get supporting members right there Really need to get Andy Pandy up there saying there's only three spots left guys and he could fucking sell that line. Yeah Alright the next prediction. I'm gonna we're gonna go with here is in 2025 Over under six episodes that Nate will be on. So will Nate be on six episodes? So basically above or below six episodes. Kim, what do you think?

Nate's our producer. You should know Nate, yeah. Yeah, because he got rave reviews on the Thanksgiving one, if I remember right. He did really well. Yeah, Nate's always good. So yeah, bring him back. Will Nate be on Six?

Six is, so basically if you base it off of, we did six non-interviews this year and I think he was on exact, did he miss any of them? He might not have been on a couple of those. I'd actually have to research that. I don't know how many episodes Nate was on this year. Does his voice count? Yeah, well, but he came out, he came, he did come on. I'd actually really have to look into that because he guest interviewed a couple people with us. So fuck, we're gonna, god

damn it. I tried to make this really easy so I could like just get all the answers for next year. Because like everyone had really funny submissions, but it would all require a shit ton of work of like who I have to log every time Joey said he was sick on the episode. I'm not fucking doing that because I don't have Do that it's coming right now I guess now it's like actually I'm gonna Nate Nate if we're gonna go with you have to keep track how many times you're on The episode and then tell me next December, so I'm gonna go that Nate's not on six episodes I'm gonna say I hope so.

Because Nate is, I think I've said it before, he's a chaotic, very funny, he has an energy that doesn't come from, you know. I don't know where he gets it. And it's just, he's so frenetic and so funny, I genuinely hope he's on more episodes. I know he prefers to kind of not have to do them as often, but if we could support him and get him on a few more,

I think. Nate's naturally high on life, I feel. Yep. I think that's a good way to describe Nate. I think the way to bust out two of these is we coordinate a lifting session at the no wine cellar Let's do it and record a podcast in person. That's it. I'm putting it out there.

He has to bring the tech here. Actually, put that on there. Put that on there. Put that on there. In 2025, The in-person episode. In 2025, there will be an in-person episode with at least two or the three of us. Well, yeah, because anything else would just be a There will be an in-person episode with at least two of the three of us Well, yeah, cuz anything else. Yes, just be a We're all within two hours of each other like three hours of each other. We should make that happen. I think that'd be cool Okay, so that'll be but it Kim's like Kim's like I'm getting the inside scoop right now like he's got the you know like I'm gonna say we're thinking just like when you guys talk about oh we're only within two

or three hours of each other I'm going you're not in two or three hours of our countries anything I can't even fly three hours and get to Seattle but for for clarity on that one I will say we as much as I want it to happen, I think we're all busy, so busy. I don't know if it will. I will go no, but an optimistic yes. And then the last one here we'll go with, you and you will publish at least one three-hour episode in 2025. No. No, is Mike. I, god damn it, better not. So that's kind of a wash. But still, we better not. I did go back and look. It looked like one of the day. But unless my unless my math was wrong, I only saw one three hour episode. There was a few like high two fifty pluses. But British David was the only one that cracked the three hundred or the three hour.

And it was right at three hours. I'm not going to say who it is, but there's somebody we can get on that I can almost promise We would do two and a half to three hours with yeah But The odds of getting that person on or slim, you know, yeah, and I think you know who I'm talking about I'll tell you later. I'll tell you later. I want to leave that out there. I want to leave that out in the ether because I want people to try and guess who I'm thinking of.

Big Matt probably. I owe him another episode for sure. You're so sick. You schedule an episode with him and I can take a week off and take a nap. Just me and Matt. Oh, that would be psychotic. You guys just. Oh, that would be psychotic. You guys just...

Oh, I have ideas now. But Matt needs a new job so he can actually like talk more and be like more hair down. All right. Kim, do you have a big Kim? Sorry, do you have a Mastinomics ad read for us moving into the next part of this episode? Yeah, yeah. If you love lifting, cracking jokes and wearing apparel that's as bold as your deadlift, the Mastinomics is the place for you. The Mastinomics community is all about strength, silliness, and embracing the absurdity. Because why not have fun when you're getting stronger? For just $3 a month, you can get access to exclusive crew content, fabulous apparel, and a community of like-minded blifters join

Messanomics family where jokes are layered like onions and lifting and drinking is all we know Lifting and drinking is all I know I forgot about that when we did a recap episode There was one funny thing that kept happening is we'd go somewhere for like lunch or something and Tanner just wouldn't join anybody and then we would literally just get a message that goes Lifted and drinking is all I know. Where are you guys? He did that like three or four times That's and that was really good because he would just show up and drink and not eat. It was really funny Good dude good dude. All right How many we got we got? Oh my god. We have some look you lose. We got Ryan's and carb Hey guys, you guys can stick around. I don't care

Let's get our guest on the hard big Kim. Is that you buddy? Yo, I'm here. Well, welcome welcome to the unpaid and underrated podcast We always like to kick it off with just what proctor to Mastinomics? How'd you find us? Why'd you join crew? Tell me your origin story. Yeah, this one's a weird one. So I had no clue who Mastinomics was like three years ago. And then when I got on Instagram for the first time in 2021

when I launched the barbell rescue page. I kept on seeing this Massenomics thing come across and I was like, I don't even know what this is. Anyway, I just saw the Lyft t-shirt and the little logo and I was like, that's not even what I'm about or who I am or what are they? Are they just an apparel company? Okay cool. And anyway fast forward as things kind of go along. I meet Keith at Home Gym Con and I kind of meet some other crew and I'm like maybe this is more than just more than just an apparel thing.

Anyway and now fast forward to January of this year, I thought, oh well, I started a new gym. I went to, I started going to a local gym and I walked into it and it was kind of like on the power lifting strong man side of the house and versus the CrossFit where I kind of came from. And I walked into that gym and I said, I think I just walked into my Instagram store. Like if my Instagram,

what places is it there were, that was the best line ever. Like, like I was like, where did I just teleport to? What is there was a massonomics banners everywhere. And I was like, who are you? Where, what is anyway? Um, I talked to that. I was like, maybe I need to look into, maybe I need to dive a little deeper into this. I listened to a few of the podcasts initially. This was early in the year before Home Gym Con. Anyway, I listened to it and I was like, man, like I said earlier I said earlier, like I'm from Kansas originally.

I've never been to South Dakota for some reason, but anyway, I was like, man, I feel like I am at home listening to these Yahoo's talk and I love it. And so I started listening and then I met him at home gym con and then I just kind of kept on putting off, you know, actually supporting and I'm like, listen, I've probably like August. Well, it must have been August because that's when I finally signed up and I said, I've listened to enough of their content.

I get enough joy out of it. I asked where I need to be. And so I signed up and the 24th of August and I've been diving in ever since trying to get caught up on all the jokes I don't think like the who's who of like who's I don't know who this person is all of them did David so whatever I don't know who's who and anyway, so that's where I kind of I've jumped into was so I I feel like I might be like one of the I

Don't know. I've only got I don't get four belts for months under my belt. I think if my math is right the It was a slow a slow fade and then now it's a deep dive into the Mastinomics world Nice and I do see you're you're on that You mean you're not like some of the guys to kind of join up and just never comment on discord and a lot of the Newer guys and they might just lurk or just don't open as like you you you comment semi-regularly on stuff So you're not a complete, you know novice over there That's right. I'm not just lurking about no I don't know if you remember this but we had a DM conversation the I mean, again, I didn't want to be on Instagram, let alone the Discord. What is that?

I hear my oldest son talk about Discord, but anyway, yeah. Now I just sit at the, when I'm just relaxing, I'm catching up on the Discord and I'm laughing and then people are like, what are you doing over there? I'm like, this guy's joke is hilarious. You might need a four-minute setup to explain why it's funny. That's what makes it even better. That's part of it. So today on the discord there was a conversation about like the Ferrari and the Lamborghini posters from your childhood. And I know my twin brother and I, we had the Lamborghini poster. Yeah, my brother's going to the ends.

I sent my dad a text this morning, I was like, hey, do we still have that Lamborghini poster? And he's like, what? And then I had to try to explain it to him. I'm like, I'm in this text group. It is easier to say a group chat than like, to explain Discord and like, Massanada, it's so much say a group chat than like explaining discord and like mass and I just so much like I I did explain like this weekend is like I just went and you

know, lifted and drank with like 40 of my buddies and like the guys he's like I wasn't gonna go in any deeper than that with the guy I was talking to. Yeah. Oh, I explain it. I spent probably half an hour of my time this week explaining and finding out the people don't know what the Iditarot is. Like legitimately, yeah. And then they're like, and I, one of them was like, Oh, I know what that is. I just didn't know that it was called that.

And then I was like, did you learn about it in school? Cause I did. It's still a thing even. I don't even, like, is it a thing? I don't know. Yeah, absolutely. Okay. Absolutely.

Absolutely. It's a big, uh, well here, one, I'm going to backtrack to the discord thing when I jumped on there. the looked at me and she goes, you're one of them? Like you're a Discord or something? I'm like, yeah, yeah, I am, but only on these two channels. But anyway. It's the most convenient group chat you can be in too, because you can just, well, outside of, until today, you could fucking have all the goddamn alerts off, and now this like, getting fucking alerts for thumbs up

is the dumbest fucking thing ever. Discord should just literally burn down. I don't get any alerts, yeah, I don't get any alerts. No, my phone is shut off. Yeah. Uh, that's the only couple of alerts I get. Yeah. Yeah.

No, I don't need discord where it's there would be. That would be insane. Yeah. I think, I think Joey, you said it in the discord today about the about no alerts being like peace. Yeah. Yeah, I was like bingo. Yeah, no alerts, texts and phone calls everything else.

How dare you? Yeah. How dare you send a notification to my phone? Well, well, now now now now that you've been so inviting cam on for social media, where where they where they gonna find you out on Instagram, go ahead and give us your your Well, now that you've been so inviting Kim on for social media, where are they going to find you at on Instagram? Go ahead and give us your IGs, your Discord, your website, all that jazz. Oh, goodness.

Where are they going to find Mr. Kim? Yeah. All right. So there's, I feel like I'm going to be like new Keith here. I got like four. Oh, stop it. Yeah, this is, it's obnoxious really. Just the one crew you want to find you, I guess.

Yeah. So Barbell Rescue one, of course. But then now the personal one is just reason. K.A. So F.R.I. E.S. E.N. K.A. That's kind of like just my personal. That's the one I've had for the longest. And then since I joined Mastanomics and the crew, I started a weightlifting one. the I don't even know how many. There's a lot to see if I got to go find it. But it's kind of this weird.

I started. Juggernaut and I was running solid for like five weeks. I got through the first block and then I don't know if you guys have ever had vertigo. I got a case of vertigo for the first time in my life and it knocked me down for a good three or four weeks where I was just it was wackadoodle. But anyway, so that way you're like dizzy and like the whole world spinning, right?

Dizzy, lightheaded. I felt like I was just walking around drunk and. Were you on crew falls that weekend? I was nauseous. I don't think. Let's be honest, I had a few people asking me if I was just drunk. Yeah, that's scary like it was this normal Everyday life that's that's kind of self out Yeah for the most part and then

God life is good. I couldn't I couldn't imagine putting fucking for a couple hundred pounds on your back or anything like that with that feeling My is a really die Yeah, I didn't even I didn't even I didn't go to work in my part-time gig because I was like this is this is far from safe but but anyway that lifting one or I need to get back into this called reason fitness just F R E E Z N underscore fitness but again I haven't posted on that for since I had that episode and Now it's like I was in the zone

it's one of those where you're like in the zone for a while and then you get out and you're just like shit, I got to start over and So that's where I'm kind of sitting right now. But anyway Nice, that's just excuses, right? And then you got a website you probably want people to go look at sometimes. Oh Yeah, I have this little website called barbara rescue..com. There you go we'll get into that a little bit later I'm sure but yeah yeah yeah out there. All right and then you had mentioned from Kansas originally and in Alaska now what is a was that all

military travel that kind of made that happen or? It sure is. Yeah, we moved to Alaska in August of 2014 and we've been here ever since my wife and I were born and raised in Kansas and after we said we can't stay here for the rest of our life, we got to get out. And anyway, so I joined the Air Force in May of 2001 and spent the next 20 years bouncing around in the military. Got here and we said, we love it. Alaska is fantastic. And our kids were older and all this other stuff. So we didn't, I was kind of done.

We were kind of done moving. Moving about. So yeah, there was also a lot of surprising. There's a lot of job opportunities up here that kind of stuck to my wife and I. And we decided to ride those out. And then again, the kids were older. And so we decided to stay. It was it's pretty homey here.

It's it's like a Midwest Kansas feel. But with mountains. Nice. What part of Alaska did you guys settle in, give or take? So the town is Eagle River, but we're just we're like essentially a suburb of Anchorage. Okay. So kind of like the South Central. Yeah. You ever been a you ever what is that deadliest catch like films in that like off the bay there a lot don't they? Yeah, they do. So that is like

Hours and hours away from here. Um, I don't even know what the plane ride is. You have to take like multiple like little Little hops all the way down there, you know, it it could be 800 miles away for all I know Okay for some reason I thought maybe they just use anchorages like a baseline of like showing. Yeah, there's probably, there might be some that kind of, maybe that poured out of here, but I couldn't tell you that. Gotcha, gotcha.

I couldn't even tell you the last time I watched that. It's weird. Yeah, it's been a few years since I've, I want to say consume, but I'm not going to, I'm gonna try to stop saying it. The idea here is that I think Alaska is bigger than New York. That one I'll give you. That's one I'll give you off the top of my head.

I meant to look that up to see how many New Yorks would fit in the last 10 buttons. That would be a good one. I forgot. What's the over-under? I don't know, eight, 10? Who knows? That joke never died, will it? Nope never died no no never going away my friend

I should have been on my to-do list and I forgot it damn it anyway yeah so that's I think one time we had an earthquake way down there and where that is kind of like filmed if you will and somebody was like oh gosh did you feel that earthquake and like that's like that's 800 miles away we have to have an the You will have the picture as well I Didn't know if that was a technicality because I wasn't crew yet with that picture being on social media with Keith or even the video with the with Tommy during the interview at Jim Cunn, but I didn't know if I needed I didn't know if I needed to be crew yet

So what is the one that you have then besides this one this is beater that's the spirit spotters Yeah, yeah, that was that's where I dipped my toe in I said I need one of these or two what yeah, and then But yeah, so then but there's a few others that will probably come. I'm well on my way to 10 orders I Was looking earlier and I said like I said, I got here I joined in August I Didn't realize this but I have made an order once a month every month That's how they get you. This is bad. Especially when you're in an empty closet.

My wife's going to start asking questions. A lot of questions. But I was like, oh, yeah. Does your shipping have to go through Carol's stream? Nope, he's frozen now. I see that. I'm glad. I was like, is it me again or is it somebody else?

No, no. This time it's not. So Kim and I got a picture together and I'm trying to think if he was at home gym, no he was at home gym, I have a picture with Kim at home gym con one which is actually a good story we'll get into. If he doesn't unfreeze I guess I can just tell it. So everyone knows I hate change, obviously. Change is the worst thing in the world. I'm like, I have a medical, like, I think I have some, I'm sure if I like took enough tests,

I could be like, like, you know, literally said I have this disorder or that disorder or some extent of change really is, it's not just like, I don't like change. It's like fucking affects my brain chemistry for the day. So I already had a million different fucking barbell cleaning brushes. Why would I need a different one?

I tried it out a little bit there and was like, I don't know, cause a couple of people had it sitting there. And I was like, I mean, it's decent. It looks cool, but I wasn't like gonna jump right on it. And then Kim, the man, I was just talking to him and he basically sold me on it. Just shooting the shit with him for probably 20 minutes from Jim Conn and next thing I know, I'm handing over cash

and taking home a brush. We talked about oil before the... I had like a preview of the oil, probably ended up close to a year before it actually became hit on a shelf and it was very, very cool. I said, it takes a lot for me to kind of like, you know, try something new and, you know, just that 20 minute conversation and seeing the product in person that did it for me. And that was my first experience with Kim there almost fuck a year and a half, a year, 18 months, I don't know, whatever March of 2023 is there big, big, big calendar guy.

But before you had froze up there, Kim, I think you I think you did we ask you your supporting membership number or what was the question we asked him, Joey? Oh, just his Hall of Fame status. Oh, yeah, we were. Yeah, what was the one that you do have? Was it? Oh, no, it was the it was the drink spotter. Okay. Then I think I'm good on that one. All right. So you're so you're which one? You got the OG and the light?

No, no, I'm sorry. I said I have the light in the Excel. But you don't have an OG. I do not have an OG. I there. They're OK. The magnetic ones are like tenfold better. I feel I do. Yeah.

I do for functionality. For functionality. If I wanted to hit, if I, yep, sorry. I'm embarrassed to say like my gym is garbage. So I don't have a whole lot of rig space, if you will. And so the OG drinks spider would take up a lot of space on my rack or what do are. I call it. So you are a home gym guy, but you're also a commercial gym guy. No, for the most.

Well, I'm all over the damn place. This is a I don't know what kind of answer you want. But but currently the truth. Damn it. I want the truth. Apparently you can't. You can't handle the LOL. Right. LOL. So there it was back in 2016. I started my home gym. No.

No, that's... And I set it up as a CrossFit gym. Because I was... Yeah, sorry. You're definitely Mr. CrossFit back in the day. Yeah, I was... You know, before I... At that time, man, when I was getting ready to retire from military, I thought that was going to be it.

I was coaching CrossFit and I thought I was going to open up a gym or buy a gym, the local, one of the local gyms. And I thought that was the route I was going to go, but it didn't pan out, which is probably for the best. And anyway, so my gym was kind of set up that way. I mean, it was wall to wall, horse stall mats. I had my one fold up rig,

or rig that went against the wall, just cause you know, I like to try to park my truck in the garage when it's 20 below. And anyway, so, yeah, so that's kind of what I had. It's very basic, just a barbell, some bumper plates, few dumbbells and a box and away you go.

But it was enough to make me vomit at that time. And then now I'm just trying to shift gears a little bit and just work on getting strong because I am far from it. I don't know. I thought your cartwheel was pretty impressive. Well thanks, thanks. I hadn't done one of those in a while, and I don't know who mentioned about having a sore shoulder, or about how their shoulder wouldn't hold up.

Maybe that was big carp. But yeah, that next day my shoulder was a little sore. I was like, damn fat ass. Well that's the true test of strength, according to Jeff Sessner. You need to stop. That was like, damn fat ass. No, that's the true test of strength according to Jeff says. That's right. That's right. I have more on that. But I would like to hear, because we don't get a lot of like the new crew people. So you've obviously you've listened to us for a while. You've seen us all post our pictures and everything like that. You've only been ordering now listened to us for a while. You've seen us all post our pictures and everything like that.

You've only been ordering now for about four months or so. What's the one thing that you see us all wearing that you go, ah, I wish I hadn't missed out on that? What's the one piece of clothing that you wish you had? Well, I know I could find it at a different unnamed company, but the Lyft, the Lyft t-shirt, the Miller Lite. The Weekend Warrior, I call it. the the weekend warrior

mm-hmm I would probably bribe somebody for that one, but I don't see well if you The lift hard live easy there's a solid chance they'll have him for sale There's a usually well they usually so that's one they can't sell on the website But they can do a sneaky man I really wouldn't even say they do a sneaky link for crew because they pretty much take them to physical They take them to the lift hard and they take them to the Arnold and they pretty much out I think so Physical they take them to the lift hard and they take them to the Arnold and they pretty much out I think so It's just yeah, it's it's the buddy light when I don't think we'll ever get back even no even on a sneaky Oh gotcha. Yeah

Do you know what your uh, you know are how high in the 400 your supporting membership numbers? Oh, yeah, absolutely I am 453 it's not bad. I am 453. That's not bad. I'm out there. So your goal, I guess, will be to get into the 300s at some point, or I guess, I mean, that wouldn't be great for us, but I mean,

it's the only way you can go. It's true, it's true. Everyone that wants to get a bigger number, the people in front of them gotta go down. Yeah, that's all right. It's all right All right, so we'll definitely get into a lot of your business story and all that I guess we can so we can do as much I'm gonna do least fun most fun here So relatively new segment the one I'm gonna ask you here for least fun most fun

You just tell me you can elaborate as little or as much as you want on any of the topics and kind of go off And any tantrums you want kind of like I do so least fun most fun being a small business owner. Most fun I'm gonna say just all the people that I've got to meet along the way like and just to see the reach that you can garner and One of the craziest things and is so like my boys They're well now they're 25 and 20, but when they were in high school and before and they were always gaming and And they would talk about their friends Through their gaming their games and the internet and whatnot and they would just talk

about their friends and like listen guys these are not your friends these are just some you don't have no clue who they are and anyway and fast forward I start this I start this whole gig and then now I'm like when I go to home gym con, I'm like, I'm gonna go see all my internet friends. Yeah, absolutely. Like, and, but seriously, there's still like, meeting people from everywhere, talking to people from everywhere, whether it's every state in the, you know, in the US or just countries.

It is, that is the most exciting thing, just, you know, to be able to start something and see how far it can go. When in reality you're just taking a chance just to see what would happen. And so that's pretty wild. The least fun of it is not making a paycheck out of it. Uh, like, like, like it is slow going at times and just the, uh, the ups and downs and, and where you're at and, you know, eight months ago, I was, I was talking to my wife going, I don't know how much longer this is going to last. talking to my wife going, I don't know how much longer this is going to last. I'm going to have to put a timeline on it and say, well, it was a good run.

We had a good time. Anyway, so just those ups and downs, man, they can be soul crushing attempts. I imagine, what do you have? four you have basically the barbell rescue and then you sell like three different color inserts They're like the replacement inserts. So in every every time you order you got a what what what what kind of quantity? Do you have to order stuff in like like 500 give or take? No, my man So yeah, like minimum order quantities overall has to be 3,000 units But then I have to do but then you're sitting on like 30 grand a fucking inventory for until it's gone so like it can yeah, it's and

I've been told that they have been like the my manufacturer has been more than accommodating as far as moqs go. And, um, and so like, he's been good. Uh, he's been good to me, but he was even nice enough to do like a half order recently and, um, and I fully expected him to just jack up the price per unit and, uh, but he was actually, I don't even think it changed. It might've dropped a few pennies each so yeah that's yeah it's a few thousand and then each color has to be maybe this is too much I don't care it's like 500 for each color. I was just laughing because what's a penny? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know. It's a lot time thousands.

No, no. In Canada, we don't we actually don't deal in pen. Everything is rounded up or down. If it's not debit or credit, if it's cash, it just gets rounded up to five cents. Yeah, we don't. It's one of the biggest culture shocks of going to America as you get handed pennies. One of the biggest. shocks of going to America as you get handed pennies

One of the biggest and you're just like the fuck is this like I haven't had these in a decade This is worth one point three pennies in Canada, like what am I gonna do? Well, thanks for the insight, because obviously, I mean, we've already alluded to it. We know, you know, what you do, who you are, you are barbell rescue. And give me a second here to inflate your tires. Great product. It was one of those ones that I wasn't even on my radar until we

got the code unpaid. It was on my radar, but like not something to buy. And then out of nowhere, I'm just he's like, Oh, no, we've got a code for this. And I was just like, OK, cool. And then I'm looking at my stupid straight barbell rush. And I'm just like, yeah. And I was just like, well, now I kind of want that one. Right. And you've probably seen it like I'm a big proponent. If I see one, I'm tagging you, I'm tagging that one. Right. And you've probably seen it. Like I'm a big proponent.

If I see one, I'm tagging you. I'm tagging the person. Like I, I, I'm all over social media. If I even see somebody using one, I'm just like, I know what that is. Right. I'm tagging you. You did that recently and it was great. Yeah. I was, uh, Shelby, I think, uh, see Shelby. Yeah. Uh, but even like I was at a meat and they had this, uh, so the meat I was at, they just changed gyms. I'll give you the insight to this one. And the new gym, they were using the straight barbell brush, but I knew for a fact, I've been to this gym before, there's a barbell brush somewhere. Barbell rescue. Yeah. There's a

barbell rescue somewhere in this, in the old gym. So I'm seeing these guys struggle to like, shh, I go running over. I'm like, no, we're not doing that. Like if I'm here, you guys are using a barbell rescue. So I went and found the barbell rescue and brought it over to make sure it was on the live stream because it was the meet that Mitchell Hooper was at. Oh yeah. Yeah. And in my head, I was just like, there's no way we're using anything but a

barbell rescue with Mitch Hooper in the room. Right. So, you know, like I it's such a how didn't anybody before you like how didn't anybody think of this before this? And, you know, I've got one. I tell all my friends to use it. All my gym owner friends, when I just get one use code, unpaid, like, like he will save you at least five bucks on it. Right. Which is mostly the shipping, to be honest with you. Yes. So tell us a little bit, if you don't mind how that came to be in your head, how you were looking at whatever was going on and went, there has to be a better way. And thus we have this. Yeah. Well, first, like, like to hear that story, like, that's even, even, you know, two and a half, three years later, like that's still like, it's mind boggling to me to hear

those kinds of like comments about things and man, yeah, it hits me right in the feels. Yeah, so like how it all started, again, I was coaching CrossFit at the time. And I was when I kind of realized that like owning a gym was not going to be kind of in my favor. And I kind of realized that like owning a gym was not going to be kind of in my in my favor. For whatever reason, I started looking at like, okay, well, I've met a lot of gym owner friends, like a lot of gym owners traveling from the military and such, and a lot of them

have become friends. And I would always ping them questions about owning a gym and what it was like, blah, blah, blah. And then I thought, well, maybe there's like, it was just this random, like, how can I, maybe I can help them out. Like, how can I help these gym owners like run their business? Because I already had this like, like, ember burning, you know, of like, I want to be a small business owner. And when my wife joined, like, started selling real estate when we moved up here, I thought, well, maybe I'll do something. I'll help her do something.

But then it was like, okay, well, how can I help these gym owners run their business better? It became like, well, what's the shittiest job for a gym owner? For whatever reason, barbell maintenance came up. I had honestly never, ever cleaned reason barbell maintenance came up. I had honestly never ever cleaned a barbell in my life. I had zero clue what's going on and you know and like they say that sometimes it takes an outsider to kind of find an intuitive way. And anyway, it was like one day I'm like looking at videos on YouTube on how to clean barbells. And it was like, why the hell are we using a flat brush

on a round object? Like this is very inefficient. And in a way I went, I started Googling brushes, cylindrical brushes, round brushes, whatever adjective you could figure out. And I started Googling. I was like nope nope nope nope nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing I came up I saw I found

a like a flexible brush for ropes but it was kind of a weird shape and I was like well that's not what I have in mind but I bought a couple of them I cut them all up into a bunch of little pieces and then I found a water bottle in the house. And I had this idea of what I wanted. And anyway, I cut up this water bottle. I put in these little flexible brushes. And I said, I need an insert because I need customers to come back.

And I put a bunch of duct tape around it, kind of made this little C-clamp thing. And I tried to, like at the Home Gym Con, I've had the original prototype there. And then I tried to show it off every once in a while on Instagram. I'm just going to see where it came from but anyway I showed it to a couple buddies of mine that were gym owners and I said I think you might be onto something and I looked at my wife and I said I think I got to go after this. And away I went. And every day that I would search Google for like a year

straight, I was waiting for my dreams to be crushed. And I was just going to fold up shop as soon as I saw anything remotely close. And somehow there was nothing remotely close. And I just kept on. And then it was like on the grind like let's go I wasn't since I was still active duty I it was still kind of a hobby at that point but it was kind of this logo I'll just see how it works and it's all

kind of fallen into my favor I guess amazing and I'll get a benefit from it well yeah it definitely is like now we all have this incredible barbel bush. And it's in, I know it's in Canada and the US. Is it international as well? People are ordering from other continents. Do you ship overseas? Yeah, it's international for sure. Hell yeah.

So the very first international company that I had buy from like a wholesale kind of ordeal was actually a company out of Sweden. And they at that point when I when they reached out, I was like, what is happening? Like this is this is insane. Like that. Not possible. But anyway, since then, I mean, especially, well, I will back up and say in October, I had a good run on Instagram with some reels and such that kind of took off and it gave me a lot of international exposure.

So I just closed a deal with a company in Costa Rica. I closed a deal with a company in Australia. I do have one in the UK that's been there for a little while. The Jim company, he's been selling the brushes for probably a year, working on one in Portugal. I always want to say Denmark, but it's not Denmark, because I'm a big geography guy like Keith. How many New Yorks been into it? Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's, it's close. It's north.

Anyway, so trying to get my footprint in in Europe but there's a few others pending out there it's awesome yeah South Korea a couple in Australia I talked to somebody in Greece oh Croatia was somebody like this company had a Croatia reached out and I'm like I have never been on Google Translate so much in my life until six years ago. You had mentioned all 50 states earlier, I think it was in conversation. Do you think you've sold a brush to all 50 states? Has anyone ever checked all your order invite?

That'd be a cool thing to check if you have it. I think I have and I feel like it was, I feel like it was Wyoming that was like one of the last to go. But I remember looking it up probably last year sometime. But yeah, and I feel like I even made a post about it. It was like, I kind of called out those couple states that were still lacking. But I feel like I feel like it was Wyoming and then somewhere up in the northeast, like in New Hampshire or Vermont or something like that. Yeah, those are those are small space states compared to New York, which is Wyoming is compared to New York. Yeah, New Hampshire.

Dick cheese. I think I think we'll give you the benefit that you meant population, correct? All right. Wyoming population. I wasn't talking about Wyoming. I just have another two goddamn northeast states. I'm teasing. Those are maritime states. No, that's incredible. So then you went into the oil, right? Like most of us are using seafoam or 3-in-1.

But now we have like this oil from you. What is? No, just like I've that's I've my conversation with Kim year one at home, I was just so memorable because I was like, I loathe the smell like 3- in one oil, also because I have it in my gyms in the basement. So if I use three in one down there, my whole house will smell like three in one for a literal day. Same thing with like WD-40, like I can't,

I don't wanna use those. I've never used WD-40 once in my gym, because of that reason, like it smells so bad. Yeah. Three in one's right up there with it. Yeah, that conversation we had about being in the basement, for me, that had never really entered my mind for whatever reason.

For me, okay, three and one, I'm not gonna say don't use it. It's cheap, it's easy, you can find it. But yeah, the PMs, that's where it's at. Whereas the stuff that I found about the original manufacturer and started digging into it, and I was like, this is what you need. Non-toxic, odor, green, it fits all of those matches

as far as a premium product. And that's where I set the brush at as the premium product and that's kind of where I sit the brush at is the premium product and they all got to go together to some extent. I'm tight with my money and I'm not going to just blow it on cheap stuff. So I want the best that's out there. So that's kind of where I try to put Barbell Rescue with all of the products that go along with it. And then just-

I will give- Go ahead. A quick story. I was going to piggyback it on yours about getting the Barbell Rescue brush at the Power of the Meet you were at. Similar to Arnold 2023, I think. Big Grant was having the deadlift competition and his bar was completely covered in chalk and he needed a deadlift, a barbell brush. He had no barbell brush. There was nothing that he could borrow from someone and I was like, my buddy Kim's right over there. Actually, you weren't there, but I think, who was it? Was Bear still selling it? Yeah. Someone,

another company had some of Kim's brushes there for sale. And so he went over and bought one of the brushes. And then, you know, I don't know if Grant still has it or if it's, you know, whatever, you know, if someone went home with it. But I definitely like that brush saved the day that day. Yeah, I remember Sean telling that telling me that story. And yeah, I've never I don't know whatever happened to it. But yeah, that was kind of a swat.

We need a brush. Yeah. Yep. I directed him in the right place, I've never I don't know whatever happened to it. But yeah, that was kind of this while we need a brush Yep. Yep. I directed him in the right place I think and just around that out now the barbell brush is obviously good for chalk dead skin But it also helps with the oil application which I have learned Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, it gets it into all the crevices crevices crevasses I'm gonna go crevasses to bother the Davids and Maybe it's a crevices the the crevices. Yeah So many people's fucking bus said that to me this weekend

Funny thing is like I don't remember what I say and I don't remember what the real one is anymore So I'm just like half the time. I don't get it It just glazed over my head because I'm like, huh, and I'm like, oh it is it's not Reese's. It's Reese You're I don't I don't maybe that's right. I don't know But yes, good good good Harkin Kim. We know you listen. That's good stuff So yeah, anyway, Code Unpaid, you were awesome to give us, I think, one of our first between you and one other one.

I think you were the first one to give us a code. And I do think we've seen some success with that code. Because I know even Tanner puts it out there. Whenever they talk about the barbel brush, Tanner's like, don't forget to use Code Unpaid. And that's millions of listeners, right? So Yeah, yeah, that's pretty good codes that we have. It's definitely the most Chi

Lucrative might not be the right word, but it's definitely the most most widely your behalf Well, no, but I mean, okay Kim Kim's percentage is significantly more generous to the people using it, you know, to his affiliates than anyone else that we have affiliates with. We'll get that speedboat. Yeah, someday. Hell yeah.

We can put the speedboat out there. Yeah, I think Tanner threw it out there just on Monday's episode with the gifts. So yeah, that's always awesome. And yeah, you guys have been so good to me. Like, there's no reason to not give what I mean, I could give more I wish. No, no. But yeah, you guys are awesome.

I mean, let's let's not take away from you also being a part of the cartwheel challenge, which was not. Yeah, it was not planned. Someone just added them to the group chat. And I was like, Oh, that's cool. It was either me or Nate, Somebody was just like, well, we should probably just get Kim involved. And then Kim was like, well, I'm going to up the ante and give more prizes. And we were just like, OK, like, we're not going to complain about it.

But remember, I went into that with no prizes. I was just like, I'm going to put the challenge out there and I'll figure out the prize later And then you guys went crazy When I got added to that texture, but I had no clue what the hell was happening. I was like What did it what what happened here? Okay, let's go yeah sometimes with the crew that's how you got to be cuz that's how I

Came up with the challenge, that's how you got to be because that's how I came up with the challenge No prize in mind and then I remembered carp said he wanted to do a barbell prize Yeah, I'll go rescue prize because he had a couple left over from one of your big sales And then yeah, it just went from there and like you were amazing back to us. So always amazing thrilled to have you as a partner on unpaid and underrated and therefore By proxy the Mastronomics podcast because obviously Tanner appreciates you as well. So that's enough business talk. Yeah. Yeah. Let's start learning about Nurse Kim here. Yeah. Yeah. All right. So is that what brought you to Alaska? Because you are a nurse. that what brought you to Alaska? Cause you are a nurse.

I am a nurse. I've been a nurse for since 2012. Uh, no, with 2009 is when I became a nurse. Are you a registered nurse, registered nurse practitioner? Like what level of nursing do you use? Yes. Uh, registered nurse, um, to be, uh, an officer in the military, you had to have a four year degree. So I got the bachelor's in nursing or BSN if I wanna be official. Yeah, so that was, I graduated in 2009 from an itty bitty nursing school in Oklahoma.

And yeah, when I got my, I had no clue that I would ever be a nurse. That was never ever, ever on the Kim. When you graduate, you're graduating from high school. Where are you going to be when you grow up? You're going to be a nurse. Hell no. Like that's not going to happen. So wait, so you were a cheerleader in high school. I cheered one year in high school. But hell no to being a nurse. Like let me. That's good. That's a good point. I feel like the pipeline is, is small. Yes. Yeah. So that's weird. It doesn't make any sense.

I actually, I don't like how you, actually I had considered nursing for quite some time as well Until somebody till somebody had a seizure in front of me and I was the only person to react with Composure and then went no, I'm never doing that again Never do that. Yeah. Nope. Yeah. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope Yeah nursing came about because well, I guess how much backstory you want the the the the the

the the the the the the the the the our smoke alarm going off. Yeah. Yeah. So take care of that. That's that's no, no, it's

important. No, it just means we're cooking. We have this. We bought our house and there's this smoke alarm that is like right next to the kitchen. And anyway, so anytime you open the oven, all that heat just I'm sure it's got to be a direct line to the the smoke alarm and anyway, so it's and I I'll tell you I have one too There's one the kitchen is right next so the kitchen goes into the bathroom in the the three bedrooms And there's one directly in the hallway there, but because of the way that the draft works through the house Where all the air intake goes and then the fan in the bathroom. Any heat, any smoke. Yeah, this thing panics. Like if you're

cooking bacon in the oven, it's going off. Like it's going off no matter what. No, it's, um, uh, you know, like you remember like on Mary Poppins before, you know, like the, the hour is going to strike and they Look the captain shoots the cannons and then all the everything shakes are over the house. Do you remember that Mary Poppins? I'm gonna say yes just so the story continues Anyway, so anytime we get ready to open the oven and we're cooking, we're like, man, the battle stations and so it's usually somebody standing with a pillow or. Yeah, you got the flyers. You got the flyers. Yeah.

Just move the smoke alarm like three feet down the hall. Yeah. Well, what are we, big construction? Yeah. For the longest time, I took it out and I just zip tied the wires kind of off and but then I thought, man, that's maybe not so safe. Oh, it's a hardwired. Yeah, it's hardwired.

OK, yes, you can't really move that. Yeah, I'd rather it go off when it shouldn't than not go off when it should. Yeah, exactly. Exactly, exactly. So anyway, what was? So nursing. So nursing nursing back to that. Um, so when I, uh, I was already married, I grew up in a, uh, in a

Mennonite church, so like a conscience objector, um, the pacifist kind of church and, um, anyway, so for me wanting to join the military, it was kind of church. And anyway, so for me wanting to join the military was kind of a big deal. And anyway, I kind of like one, I lessened it by saying, hey, I'm going to join the medical world. And, and then two, I had already, because I was already, I was 22, 23 before I enlisted. And anyway, and so I already had some friends that were coming back that were in the army or the Marines and they were either grouts or bomb loaders or something like that. And I'm like, well, that's not going to carry you over to the civilian world whenever you get out.

And so anyway, so I decided, so I decided to do something on the medical world. And I was kind of looking at that when I was in college anyway, after I had already been through like seven other majors. And anyway, so like once I finally decided I was going to join the Air Force, I was like, okay, I'm going to put every medical job on the list and we'll see what happens. And then the Air Force gave me surgery to be a surgery tech and then I spent five years as a surgery tech and then decided to apply for a commissioning program slash nursing school

and it was just kind of, it just kind of fell into place and so here I am, a nurse working in surgery, pretty great. That is pretty dope. Yeah, so I just tell everybody I just hang out in surgery and see all the blood and guts all day. Yeah, I just hand him the, what do you call it? Scalpel when he needs it. I just do the scalpel and the clamps.

As that type of nurse, do you have to do, like are you any like pre and post op stuff or are you literally just a scrub nurse in the clamps. Is that type of nurse, do you have to do, like are you any like pre and post op stuff or are you literally just a scrub nurse in the room and then you get to go home after surgery? Just strictly in the room. That sounds amazing, so you don't have to fucking have any, I mean you have to have like, can't be an asshole but you don't have a bedside man

or you don't have to deal with annoying fucking people. Keith really just wants to know how many catheters in penises. No. He doesn't listen, I don't think he annoying. He really just wants to know how many catheters in penis. No. Only he's listening long enough to get that joke. Countless. I have not heard the joke but countless. There is.

There's not too much I haven't seen. No no no I'm just saying like. I just gave Keith. I think that sounds like the best. I think that sounds like the best. Like if I had to be a nurse that would be the nurse that would want to be, I don't want to deal with like, not customers, but patients. You don't have to deal with talking patients and rude patients and just the general public.

And when you do talk to them, they're not going to remember you for too long because anesthesia is right behind you with the meds. Come back from 10. That sounds awesome. Yeah. Yeah. So no, it's pretty good. But there's a lot of people that do not like it. anesthesia right behind you with the meds. Come back from 10. That sounds awesome. Yeah, so no, it's pretty good. But there's a lot of people that do not like it. It's just a completely different atmosphere

than say like floor nursing or clinic nursing or anything like that. It's a... And the hours are kind of decent too, right? You're not doing, I mean, are you doing surgeries at midnight or? I guess you're for your own call to surgeries, but like... Yeah, sure, it depends.

So right now I just work part-time at a surgery center. So it's no joke, you know, so, you know Surgeries 730 to 330 for the most part. So we show up at 7 But anyway, so that's kind of You know the bread and butter for a surgery center But you know when you're talking the big hospitals or trauma, you know, level one centers and such like that, now you're having 24 hour operations. You are, you're a man for that. Or like, even the hospital I was at, you know, before I retired here on base, you know, it was a normal, you know, seven to, you know, seven to three, seven to three 30. And, uh, but then he just had after hours and so on call. And so that kind of all depends.

Um, it's yeah, it's really dependent on where you're at. One day, um, they had somebody from the air force on mass in omics and they brought up the phrase, the chair force. Now I- Rob and then Andrew Hines. Yeah, I said that to somebody here in the RCAF and they got offended. How do you feel about the phrase the chair force? I'm not fit at all. Like whatever, like bring it.

He got pretty mad. You gotta be really strong to be a pilot. And I was like, yeah, but how many of you were actually pilots? And he was just like, you know what, dude? That's a valid question. Like how many really are? He was like, you know what? Shut up. And I was like, yeah, that's fair. That's a fair question. No, like I had a brother-in-law that was in the Marines, a brother-in-law that was in the Army, and a couple of cousins, airport, you cousins, this is on the other side, this is the Mennonite side obviously, but on the other side of the family was all military.

That's where I got the idea. But anyway, I saw how they worked, my army and marine brother-in-laws, I was like, I don't want that life. I'm not doing that. No, I mean, obviously, depending on what kind of job you got, you know, like Kurt doing EOD and such like that, you know, it's going to be a different, completely different world than being Air Force medical. And even then, I mean, there's opportunities to be like, sauce, Tostita, I think, isn't surgical like a. there's, there's opportunities to be like, um, sauce, fast tea, I think isn't surgical like a, was that sauce or a, that's a blank in here. Um, like a surgical operations team,

like a special operations, uh, surgical team. And so, I mean, there's options to do things like that, but, um, but yeah, for the most part, cheer force away, like chair, cheer force away. There cheer force away. There's our title. Yeah. Oh yeah. Okay. How was, uh, how, how was lifting it in Afghanistan when you were deployed?

I'm sorry. Probably hot as shit. Well, I, I will say I got lucky in it. I got up. I got lucky in Afghanistan where both times I went was during the winter. And in where and we were in we're in Kabul or not Kabul, North Kabul and Bagram. And anyway, so we got we got lots of snow.

And so it was it was fine. Like, you know, when they talk about being hot in the desert in Afghanistan, I'm like, that's not where I'm at. And so yeah, I was lifting with a beanie and you know, a hoodie on inside the tent. Should we do and should we move that like it's been an hour and a half here? Should we go? Yeah, let's go to FMK because we're gonna end up going way wrong. Oh goodness. Alright Kim I got a FMK here for you so we're gonna go a little country music bands so not artists so I had to cherry pick my three that three that would resonate with you I think here so FMK we're gonna go Brooks and Dunn, Alabama and Sawyer Brown FMK

mmm well I'll tell you right off the bat Alabama Sawyer Brown I am killing Brooks and Dunn I do not care for them like any of the songs? they got some they're okay but man like I just don't I don't get it which one has you know he would never wear a hat the right? Anyway, so like that one. OK, so killing killing Brooks and done pretty quick. Alabama and sorry, Brown, Alabama and sorry, Brown.

And probably going to. Hmm. And Mary there. Yeah, that's joyous as the. What's that? Mer Mary, was it Mary the one that you get basically get every night and then you know the the F is for kind of the one and done? The one and done, you know, I probably do F is probably Alabama But Sawyer Brown man, I can listen to them You like Sawyer Brown? I don't love that. That makes me happy. That's it.

Man, I can I remember some of the first times I listen to them and they like they'll bring you to tears There's a few songs that will just punch you right into ducks I feel like they haven't done anything memorable in 25 years And I think Tanner even now and that a couple weeks like I mean the last like six months or so on them But I was like listening to cuz listen to him a little bit tonight I was like, I'm gonna add that to the to the topic Yeah, the last one tonight. I was like, I'm gonna add that to the topic. Yeah, the last one that I remember was like this,

some sort of temple, I don't know if it had like, there was some Christian and New Tones to it, but there was a few songs on there, that was the last one that I remember, but gosh, that's been, yeah, ages ago. I definitely, I personally have at least three or four other songs on my country playlist, so it's a... Absolutely, absolutely.

Good deal. Well, that's, that's, that's, that's the FMK this week. You got, you got a Rushmore forum, Joey? I do, and I have one, but then I have some other questions about music. So I want to go with the Mount Rushmore of Western TV shows. Western? I hear you like Western. Yeah, I do.

I love I love cowboy movies. I love cowboy TV shows. You're the one that found the clip of me, right? Was that you that posted the clip of me? I swear to God, that's fucking my doppelganger. If I ever saw one that was God, what do you? Oh, that was a wider documentary thing that I was... That's wild.

You know, like mini-series that I was watching. That was hilarious. And I think, yeah. Gosh, that was great. Alright. Sorry to... Alright, so... Do we know how Mount Rushmore works? Like your top four that you would count?

Yeah! Okay. Yeah, top four. Well yeah, okay. Yeah tough war Well gun smoke is going on there Probably first thing to go like I mean that like 20 plus seasons Anyway, so I'm going gun smoke and of course, it's Kansas is Dodge City. Why not? TV show man who else can I put on that i'm gonna blink i'm thinking of all i'm thinking about is movies and miniseries right now

oh miniseries do you want to do movies and miniseries like do you want to include like just well i could yeah let's just do it to make your life a little easier just like western so let's go westerns broad yeah so um i just started watching it again. Um, and I don't watch too many movies or series is theories, series eyes. It's a greasy, greasy, greasy, um, multiple times, but I just started watching hell on wheels on Netflix. Really? I think it's I think it's now on the Hulu. But anyway, that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that t that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that

that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that We'll throw a movie in there. I got it through, um, you know, usually on the Western world, you're either like a, uh, a John Wayne or an Eastwood fan. And I'm more on the John Wayne side of the house. And, uh, I love the shootest. It's like one of his last movies, if I remember right.

And he actually dies in the movie spoiler alert. Um, but, uh, it has ron howard in it ron howard's a little kid way to be young as shit or or younger one i was like um like an open but uh i like i love that one for some reason i have no clue because he's not even like a big uh you know a gunslinger at that point it's like this old washed up uh i won't say washed up but just an old, old time cowboy at the end of his life. In my opinion, from the ones I've watched, I'm not going to pretend to be an expert. Those are the best ones.

Yeah. Those are the best ones. Yeah. And then, uh, you know, I'll go back to my childhood. Um, and this is not, maybe this will give me some flack, but I'm saying that I'm not a real fan, but back to the future too when he when he goes back to the west. I absolutely love that one. Like, okay, no, that's fair. There's a third one. That's the third one. Was it? Kate? Yes, 100% 1 million gun smoke. Helen Helen wheels. Shootist. No, no, it was back to the future three. I'm saying not how many you've mentioned. It was back to the future.

He went to the West. Yeah. Three that he went. Yeah. Oh, that was the that was the one I was saying is that I wasn't telling you you only have three Mount Rushmore's. I was telling you that you play. Yeah, it's really embarrassing not knowing your Michael J on me three. Yeah. Yeah. Thank you. It's really embarrassing not knowing you're Michael J. Fox movies Yeah Tombstones right up there too cuz yeah doing like deadwood game skin that meat wagon I'm gonna be honest. I've yet to see that one and I don't know why I have Westerns. It's like I don't even want to run. I mean, it's modern. Yeah. Twenty years old now.

Nobody was elsewhere. And jurors fucking great. But also, if you don't like super like swearing and coarse and gory, like you might not like deadwood. If you like, it's like homey like shit from the 50s. Like stick with that, I guess. You know, I I enjoy a classic wholesome style. It's not that. Because you gotta worry about some westerns where it's like it starts turning a little sci-fi-y

and that's no. Cowboys and aliens. I want like authentic. I want authentic as it can be. Obviously I realize that Back to the Future is a little different there. But for the most part, I like realism. The last one I watched, I just want to see both of you two. Old Henry. I think it's on my watch list. I haven't seen it. No. Okay. It's that's that, it's that one. It's that one guy. God, I wish I could remember his name. He's awesome in everything. Can let me get his name. It's Tim Blake Nelson. Um, so Tim Blake Nelson, he was in on my radar

from Oh Brother, Where Art Thou? He was in that one that He played Buster Scruggs. He was in Buster Scruggs. He was Buster Scruggs I think But in this one he plays just some guy who wants to retire and he's living on his land and Just this guy that's been shot shows up and And it turns out he's Billy the Kid. Like the end, I'm gonna give you the spoiler. But I mean, if you watch half the movie, you'll know.

But he's Billy the Kid after he escapes the police and retires and all that. That movie, even with that spoiler, that was an incredible Western. Yeah, I do, I had to look it up. But yeah, I do remember seeing I have watched that. Yeah, I enjoyed that. That was yeah, that was one of those that, you know, as I like search Westerns on Netflix or whatever else, and, and you start watching, you're like, Okay, yeah, I can watch this one. Yeah, that one was definitely when I

watched. And then just like, if you want to give me a quick it doesn't have to be quick and we still have some time here I hear you like like we focus mostly on country but I hear you like all genres of music so what are your Mount Rushmore songs right now from different genres like if you can give me your like I like this hip hop, I like this metal, like this country. Like what are your like top songs that like you're going but each one from a different genre? Oh gosh, shit. That's tough because I find myself in rabbit holes for like like years at a time. You know, obviously country throws is in there.

And then in country is kind of its own little ordeal anyway, as far as like, you know, Keith's 90s country, though, which is actually my wife's her favorite, you know, some of the newer stuff, obviously classic 70s, 80s, 50s, 40s. But anyway, so obviously country is going to go on there. Jazz, I have to throw on there because I played jazz band. You played the flute.

I was in college. People won't know that. I played the flute in fifth and sixth grade. That's where I got my start. So did my wife. So yeah, that's fair. Yeah, I was forced into it. I hated my band teacher for that, but that's an old scar that

Until again, we relive trauma here. That's what we do Yeah, thank you Fifth grade about this. I'm like no, I want to play the saxophone. We have too many saxophones Yeah, neither say seventh grade as soon as he needed some different instruments. I ran away from the flute as fast as possible. But jazz is always on there because I've always loved the big band kind of era. And then, you know, metal is on there, man, early, late 90s, early 2000s. I've been in my fair share of mosh pits. So and in that

regard, we're talking on the Pantera side of the house, still one of the best concerts that was a rowdy rowdy concert. And so that's, was that the three that was three and then even I got to throw some classical in there because um And we're talking. Um, like vovaldi Yeah, probably my favorite Chakovsky, Chakovsky goes hard Yeah Yep, all right. Yeah All right, that's me from Mount Rushmore

Yeah, I got two or three. The funny or embarrassing stories. I at least two of them I want to touch on. So what was the overall record for losing streak at your Kansas high school football team? So bad. I'm going to guess. I'm going to I'm going to I'm going to guess. Oh man.

So to be that relevant. Oh, it's got to be like four years straight or three years straight, right? Where what are we talking? Where how many seasons with no victories? So it was the total was 26 games and This is We won three years the the

the the the the the the the the in the local news when they bring up about how what hutch football used

to be like we always come up it's the longest losing streak and I'm like made the paper again 30 years later. Nailed it. We were horrendous and we scored my senior year we scored a whopping 18 points. No, 20 points. We scored three touchdowns. We didn't have a kicker, so we couldn't score an extra point. And then we had one safety.

That's wild. So I guess you guys just weren't good at playbooks and you probably weren't good at maps either because it looks like you got lost hunting once Lifting was not on the I'm not on our docket. I guess yeah. Yeah You know, I pride myself in land nav, but I got the lost the shit out of here on one of my first like big hunting Excursions and

I had gone on a couple small I never hunted until I moved up here And I thought man, this is what I want. I want to give this a try. I had been with a couple friends on some like very low maintenance if you will and Anyway, I put in for this moose. No is caribou hunt and I got a tag and it was to this unit that a buddy of mine who grew up hunting and had been hunting in Alaska for like 10 plus years had never been. And anyway, we, I decided to take my 14 year old son with me and it's those three of us and we go four wheeling that we you know we park our trailer and whatnot and then we hop on the four of us and we go four wheeling that we you know, we park our trailer and whatnot And then we hop on the four-wheeler and we go out and we're riding around all freaking day long and

We finally see this like group of manos seven eight caribou and we're like man, we got to get something because we're only out here for a couple days and So we go after this and it's like one of those, like a false, all these like false ridge lines, you're like, Oh, it's just one more original. Oh, it's just one more ridge line. Well, we just kept on going. It's like 30.

Yeah. And, uh, we finally get close to this. Uh, we finally get close to this group and it's like, we make our plan. They're like, okay, I'm going to go around to the right. this group and it's like we make our plan. They're like, okay, I'm going to go around to the right. And anyway, so I down this caribou and it was not impressive. It was nothing to write home to mom about, but anyway, it was a down caribou.

And so my buddy and my son were like, okay, well by that time we had already hiked in, I don't know, an hour, 45 minutes to an hour. We had already hiked away from our four-wheelers to kind of catch up with these guys, with these caribous. Anyway, he's like, well, my buddy goes, I'm going to start, and my buddy, he's like 10 years older than me, he goes, I'm going to start quartering the animal.

If you can go back and go get the bags and whatnot and bring a four-wheeler like okay yeah sure not a problem and so I go hiking out back to the four wheelers and also know these clouds move in and every point of reference every point of reference is gone and I'm like oh shit this. And anyway, I finally, I get to where I think the four wheeler should be and there is nothing in sight. And I'm like, okay, I'm gonna go back to some land nav skills that I learned in the military when I was doing some training with the army. And I'm like, I had to drift left. And so, all right, I'm gonna go right.

And I go about a quarter of a mile and there's the four wheelers. And I'm like, perfect, right where they needed to be. And then I tried to hop on the four wheelers and go around. And there was too much side hill. And I about rolled the four wheeler. And at that time, I hadn't really ever ridden a four wheeler just a couple of times. So I was way out of my comfort. I was really out of my comfort zone at this point. And I was like, well, I'm just gonna take this bag and I'll just hike back. And anyway, sorry.

Of course I like I'm side hill. So then I tried to like walk up this hill and I am gassed at this point. This bag, I don't know what the hell my buddy had in it. It was like 80 pounds. It wasn't 80 pounds, but it was heavier. And it wasn't a backpack. It was like 80 pounds. It wasn't 80 pounds, but it was heavier. It wasn't a backpack. It was like a DeWalt tool bag. So you're just like, trying to go up this hill. And I get to this

point, I'm like, I'm doing this like heave ho. And they're like, this is stupid. F the bag, I'm done. I'm just going to go get them. I got like a a couple game bags and I'm just gonna go find them and then I'm walking back and I'm like I Have no clue where they're at. And so I'm walking. I'm watching. I know I'm walking south and I know they're like in this general direction as I hold my arms out and And I just start walking and I'm going, shit, I am about ready to be a statistic. This is everything that the military has told me not to be. And I have about this dumb ass newbie to Alaska decided he's going to go

hunting and get lost. And so I'm just walking. The wind is blowing in my face. So every time I try to yell for my son or my buddy is they're not hearing nothing and then I feel like I've been out there forever and then out in the distance I see this little silhouette of my son and I'm like oh that's him I get up to him and I'm just like oh god thank you I'm so happy to see you in youth 14 right

and his first comment is where's the bag the the he goes, where's the bag? I'm like, fuck you and your bag. I'm just happy to see somebody. And anyway, it took us like, it probably took us two or three hours to finally get back to our camp. We were like, we got back to a campsite and we asked these guys where we're like where we're at. And they're like, oh, you got to go like 15 miles, like go back to the road and go another fit. We were, we were all over the damn place. And since that day I have never gone anywhere without any sort of GPS and or trusting anybody else. I have, I have control issues ever since then. Like I will have GP, I will have every form

of communication that I can get. Oh was like, that was the stupidest thing I think you could put. But then, but then Alaskans, you start talking to them and it's like, oh yeah, I did that once. Oh yeah, like, oh, it's just like a rite of passage. You just have to have a near-death experience to be out here, okay? I guess this is normal.

Well, to follow up on that, we're talking about, you know, different types of communication. I hear you like to sing your songs sometimes in random thoughts at the office with your wife. She basically put it as, while we were stationed in Alaska together, we would random thoughts in the office with pitch in. I'm assuming that might not have been your wife. I'm guessing.

I don't know. Someone else is stationed with her. I'm not sure. not have been your wife. I'm guessing. I don't know. I'm not sure. Is that a story? Well, just in general. So like. OK, so if I could sum up my last duty station duty

as far as duty, try to retire. Like if you could blend like like parks and rec with the office, but in a military or world, like we lived it. And so like, yeah, you would walk by somebody would say something, somebody would break out in the song, and you just continue and the song would go on and everybody would start chiming in.

You're just like, this is glorious. Like, how did i get here like this has got to be the epitome of all places yeah i think we have a great if i know who sent that um i think we have a great picture of us doing a uh like a titanic boat scene i think i I was, I think he, yeah, I think I was, I was Big Spoon. Nice. Unlike Big Matt, who was the little spoon with his wife, begrudgingly won't admit, but she told us, um, I know we're running up against the wall here, but I don't get it in the notes very often, but here it is. It says you got a poop story. So you got a Colorado poop story?

I was waiting for that. We can keep it under five minutes if you can, because we got to get it unpaid and underrated. We'll see. When I first heard you guys talk about poop story, I was like, god, do I have a poop story? You got a good one. I do.

Hey. All right, let's see. Do what you got to do. All right, so it's 2001. I'm in the Air Force Academy 2001 I'm in the Air Force Academy I just joined the Air Force that was my first duty station was at the Academy I had a cousin who was a cadet at the time and so they they needed to sponsor you know you had to go get them off of the Academy grounds and whatnot and anyway we take him out the dinner we're driving back we drop him off at the Academy, well, you know, at his dorms. And then, and then we live on base, but it's kind of this mountainous area. And everything is like all these like separate, like you got the Academy, you have the hospital, you have housing areas, and everything is very spread out and windy. And we had gone out to eat at someplace that was like probably 20 or 30 minutes away,

but when we went to drop them off, like my gut was not in a good place. And I was like, I don't think I'm gonna make it back to the house. Like, I know we're only like five miles away, but this is not good. And I will blame like maybe some immaturity in my age. And I will blame maybe some immaturity in my age. Maybe it was just the backup of gases in my body and I couldn't think straight.

But I said, there's all these little scenic lookouts along the mountain drive. And I said, Laura, I'm going to pull over to one of these outlets. I'm just going to pee a little bit. Maybe I can offload some pressure, something, but this has got to end and or like, or I'm going to shit my pants in the truck and this is not going to get anyway. So I go, we pull off to this little scenic outlook. I go trotting out into the trees and then I'm standing up. You know, it's in the summer, it's nice out then I'm standing up like you know it's in the summer it's nice out and I'm standing there you know just having a nice outdoorsy pee and then all of a sudden all hell broke loose and shit went flying out of my shorts like like right on my foot that was like this

amazing oh dear god and she looks at me and I'm just like shaking my head like this is not oh the I got that demon out of me. And so then I start walking back to the Explorer and I go, I gotta sit down. Like, oh no. So anyway, I grab this jacket. I grab my little starter jacket and I'm just like, and just slowly just sit in it and I'm like, God. Anyway. That's why we can't find any starter jackets nowadays is because you show them yours. And just, you know, like slowly just sit in it. And I'm like, God, anyway.

And so that that's why we can't find any starter jackets nowadays is because you yeah, yeah, it was that Charlotte Warner's never looked so brown. Yeah. And so in the car, it's me, it's my wife, and it's my three year old, maybe four year old son at most in the backseat. I just quit shitting himself. Yeah. And that's where we think the story ends. And fast forward like six months, we're driving along. Like I have family in town and we're showing them the Academy grounds and taking them on the Yall Scenics. And all of a sudden we round this corner. And out of nowhere, my son in the background just goes, hey dad,

any points? Hey dad, isn't that where you pooped your pants? And then the whole family like caravan is like, what? Gage, that was supposed to be our secret. And now everybody that's hysterical knows that it's like, dad, thanks kid. I appreciate you. Yeah, it's, it's like a jar of olives. A like once that first olive comes out, all the other ones are coming out. Like you didn't have a chance. Yeah. That makes sense. In retrospect, it was the dumbest thought process I think I've ever had. But at the time I was like, I can do this. This is okay. No, not a chance, not a chance.

I haven't had one of those in a while. So I think that'll wrap up our main portion of the interview and we can segue in here to a little unpaid or underrated. Anyone listening for the first time, similar to overrated or underrated, we just substitute unpaid in there. So I'm hit you here Kim so use your druthers you know as little as much as you want unpaid or underrated the movie mystery Alaska just have you seen that hockey movie for the Russell Crowe from the early 2000s if not I can substitute it with something else I guess you know

I have not seen it good movie my favorite Alaska movie. Yeah One of my favorite sports movies also, so let's yeah Bypass that what is it? It's called mystery Alaska, so it's basically there are a bunch of You know it's in a very small Alaska. I think the town is actually called mystery I don't even know if it's a real town or versus took it I think it's all a complete you know made-up area called Mystery, I don't even know if it's a real town or if it's a, I think it's all a complete made up area. But a very small town and they just like,

they have like a local team that just plays against each other, but I think they just more or less practice on like, you know, a frozen lake. And it's like an honor to be on the team and everything. And there's a lot of like, a lot of natives on the team and some like, you know, the white guys too and whatnot. But they end up getting a team together. They end up getting an exhibition

against like the New York Rangers. So then it's like a whole buildup of like this team versus the New York Rangers. And Russell Crowe was like an aging sheriff who's like not fast enough to play anymore, but he won't let go. And there's an older, I think Burt Reynolds is like the dad and the coach or something maybe.

And there's some like, you know, some, some, some, some, one of the guys is fucking with the other guy's wife. So then there's some teenagers. And I think like, there's just, it's a really good, it is one of my favorite sports movies of all time. And I'm surprised I haven't heard of it. Like that's, I think it was like, oh, it was, if I had to guess it's like 99 to 01.

So you would have been, know busy shitting your pants Yeah, yeah That was I was I was a newlywed shooting my pants Pass on that one, but since I spent enough time on it, we might not even get a third one there So uh unpaid or underrated bowling. I know you're a big bowling guy. What do you think about that? Oh, I love it. Uh underrated like I have hit my old man prime and it is it's where it's at like You know, you're actually in a league it looked like from what I think you texted me last night saying you were you're about to go

because Kim Kim didn't do a great job of getting his people to send me notes and I had to cut a badge room kind of Yeah, you know the last minute and He was like well, I'm about to go to my bowling league So I'll make sure I send some text out before I get too drunk. I was like, alright buddy. Yeah. Yeah That's what that's why I had the bowling league That's why I had to find a new group of friends because all my other ones are assholes when they don't respond So I think these, these crew guys

seem pretty good. Uh, yeah. Uh, yeah. The, uh, bowling, um, what started out as just a little, like, yeah, let's try it out. And, uh, and next thing I know I've been on this while it's it's more of a beer league kind of ordeal but it's far from sanctioned but yeah you don't miss a week in the winter bowling and drinking is about all I know. That is that is where it's at. And we even so this is a people into it. So side segue here it'll show my ignorance of Alaska. Is it the entire

country that goes dark or just certain parts? And are you in one of those parts that like gets the, you know, the six weeks of darkness, whatever? Is Alaska a country? Yeah. Well, that's what I was going to say first. The state. Yeah. The United States. Well, I'm not the only one that misspoke today. You missed your fucking Back to the Future 2, and Joey said some shit. Joey meant to say Barbell Rescue brush.

And he said Barbell Rescue. Buddy, it's not an attack. Like, relax. The competition, I know. I know. It's not an attack. The fuck was my question? Oh, yeah, like.

Yeah, you're asking the thing I was gonna ask about unpaid and underrated oh No, it's not on there. It's not there anywhere the bullshit. I Actually put yeah unpaid or underrated constant night. Oh Well, there you go. I can guy It's okay. Yeah, it's a it Is yeah Fucking guy. It's okay. Yeah Yeah That's what gotta be with my favorite quotes when you first brought that up I was like God, that's how I feel running this

We are not professionals you would like that do you listen to grants podcast the okay podcast it seemed like it'd be up your alley What's very it's very You know, I have it military theme, but he's just you know, a lot of I don't know I think it would be up your alley No, I listen to outside of these two part of mass dynamics in this but I guess I Listen to a lot of like against the odd there's a one called the against the odds and American historyers. And it's kind of like about like, you know, just crazy stories like, you know,

the Exxon Valdez crashing and oil and oil rigs blowing up and people getting lost, because I have some experience with that in the backcountry. And that was kind of like grizzly bear maulings, because I figured I need to know how to do that at some point. But what do I do when I get attacked? But the darkness, unpaid, it's a grind. It's a grind every year. And it's like, that's the one thing that you kind of like, I start counting down the days to when winter solstice will be so that I know that it's in theory is getting brighter outside so right now it's like I think sunsets around 3 p.m. And then Sunrise is

around like 10 a.m. So whatever that math is you know, that's kind of like that I would say from Florida Florida For PM is probably when it's really getting really dark and you're like damn it's dark again But anyway, so yeah, we got probably a good 18 ish 18 to 20 hours of darkness. I mean if you go farther north than it's even worse, you know, there's there's that one

Yeah, that was kind of I was curious about yeah there's the one village that you know, the Sun went down a couple weeks ago and they won't see it again until I Actually, I think it's I think it's January February temporary. Maybe even March, but I can't remember I've never been up there so I can't tell All right, I'll do the last one real quick and hand it over to second, I stole his, but my first one was a bust. So unpaid or underrated, selling t-shirts and banners

or having t-shirts and banners because you don't really sell them very often. So having people ask for merch. Yeah, gosh, I feel like that's a strict and I can't I was really gonna ride the line on that one. I guess I can't shit. Um, yes, I'm gonna say underrated because I want to sell more of them. But then I also know I'm not an apparel company. No, it was pulling. It was like, I felt like it was pulling teeth

to get anything from you. And then it's like, hey, here's a t-shirt and here's a banner, appreciate all your hard work, et cetera. And I think we, did we trade shirts? Is that how this came about? I think we did, didn't we? Something on those lines. I mean, I got your t-shirt sitting right over there.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Jim, one of the NWC shirts and then I got this. Yeah, you. I believe that what happens. Good stuff. A mutual agreement. Yeah, Joey, I needed to I need your t shirt. Where's your t shirt? You got a t shirt? No, I don't actually. Maybe at some point, the Dilf Dungeon will make a t shirt. I just don't know if I don't know if it's gonna be like a run or if it'll just I'll get one done on my own with the logo. You can do like a silhouette bald beard gag kind of thing.

Nobody's done that before. Yeah, never ever. Just one me doing one with a mustache Yeah, what I'll do is I'll add a skull with a beard because like that's really original Don't forget the Hawk wings, yeah the Hawkins Nobody's done that before Okay, I guess it's my turn then probably not Okay, I'm paid or underrated. Let's start with an easy one. Island Malts. How do you feel about your Islae Scotches? Gosh, those are, uh, I kind of, gosh, I kind of got to go unpaid. Like there's, I can't

do too much smoky. I don't want to taste dirt. Like I want some gosh, that's a, you have no thanks. I want to like him, but I just can't. I try him every once in a while thinking, Oh my, maybe I've lost my loss and taste buds. Now I'll like it. No, I was still like taste. Did I just take a bite of dirt? No, I don't want that. Yeah, that Laphroa gets you and you're just like, dirt. Yeah. My wife bought me one. It wasn't, I'm going to mispronounce it. R bag. Yep. I'm sure there's an accent in there. I'm sure there's an accent in there somewhere.

We would call that our bag yet. Yeah. And yeah, my wife was so happy that she bought it for my birthday. And I took a drink out of it. I was like, I'm going to need to cut. I need to cut this with about eight ounces of eight to one horrible. That actually, that's how I'd like my scotch that way. But I mean, that's, that's me, right? Like I like those, I like earthy flavors.

Um, but now I can see, I can watch people take a sip and go, you like this too much. Yeah. The, yeah. Um, what is it? Gosh. Darmor down more. Yeah. The Dalmore. Yep. Yeah. I know what that one of there's. Yeah. I have one of of their yeah, I have one of their 12 years now to a couple weeks ago and that was really that was really delicious. And it paired well with M&Ms of all things. It was weird. I wasn't expecting it. Scotch and chocolate is top tier. Like that's a good pairing. Yeah, it's phenomenal. Unpaid or under straight bushing straight brushes for barbells Straight bushes what's a bus we'll never know I love I love the 70s Want to say a crew mercantil or something the other day yeah my ass as I got a new merch oh

Yeah Yeah them the other day. Yeah, my ass. I was like a new merch. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Straight brushes. They are overrated and they are bullshit. Yeah, they are. Stop wasting your time. Yeah, you have better things to do. Like lift and drink. Actually, at Los Campionos, I don't think I saw somebody using the straight brush and I was just like, What is happening right now? I don't think I saw somebody using the straight brush and I was just like This is a real gym and you don't have a bar

All right, let's go with my last one unpaid or underrated into the wild Which is that movie about that dummy? So this is a this is an aka It's a book in a way dummies trying to survive in Alaska because they think they're smart Which I think was really funny based on your story from earlier Yeah, like and like you I started to type that and then before I realized you had a type So then I just delete because I was gonna add the same thing before I realized you had a type, so then I just delete, because I was gonna add the same thing. Does Kim count in that category?

No, because he's still alive. There was a time period, he thought he might not be. I questioned whether I was going to statistic over there. Do you know the story of Into the Wild? Yeah, I feel like it's been a while So so this so this idiot Chris McCandless I'm gonna try to not sway your opinion here

He's a city boy. He's from I think Seattle or something and he decides I'm just done with humanity I don't like. I'm gonna go live in the wild of Alaska. And he's got no training. He's got, he didn't even bring a map. He didn't even bring a map. And he died. He obviously died. And I hear that this is a common occurrence that people in Alaska get really pissed about,

just that these dummies come out here and die constantly. Yeah, there. Um, I have, I had to look it up. I have not seen, you know, what's crazy is when we moved up here, I stopped watching all Alaska shows or any Alaska movies, like it was like, okay, I'm done all these bites anyway, into the walk. I know I've heard of it. Yeah.

I have not seen it. It's got a good sound. I will have a good soundtrack. I will say that, um, but yeah, there's people that I was there. I just want to live off the grid I just want to live off the grid and you're like You better be ready. Like you know, Alaska don't give a shit about you It will kill you. You know, it kills a lot of people And that that's kind of what I was wondering like does that happen as often as we hear it does? Yeah, I mean, you know, like the planes crash, the little, you know, yep, single engine kind of stuff. You always hear about those. You hear about bear attacks. Those

happened one year. It was crazy crazy it was like bears were eating everybody and everybody episode title yeah yeah you know like yeah it happens hunters getting lost never just being seen again there was one actually like a couple years ago and it was like he was you know 200 feet from camp and they never saw him again and so anyway yeah it happens and it don't and it was like he was you know 200 feet from camp and they never saw him again and so anyway yeah it happens and it don't care people drowning in the rivers where they go out fishing and hunting and whatnot and the river takes him under I almost I won't say I almost ended up one but there was kind of a

I was out of my comfort zone per se on this boat But but yeah, so it can happen it can happen quick, but um anyway, so I don't know what I say that Maybe that it's underrated because you don't want to you don't want to fuck around You better be ready. You better have a you better have a plan in place he He was struggling for food Obviously because he stars starved to death. Well, he starved to death because he ate a berry that caused his digestion system to reject food. He did shoot it.

Yeah, so he ended up just sick of these berries. Yeah, because he thought they were the wrong berries and then couldn't get help because where he wanted to cross the river had flooded. But what people they left out of the movie is because he didn't bring a map there was actually a bridge over the river a mile away. Ocean yeah so he just because he was so unprepared and so convinced he was going to fight nature and all that. He ended up dying for that reason. And it's one of those ones where this movie glorifies this behavior of, oh, you're a misanthrope, you don't like people, I'm going to move out to Alaska and live off the grid.

But like, dude, bring a map, like do anything. And yeah, he died out there. And the movie would like glorifying that. And then I started reading more into the guy. And I was just like, no, that guy was stupid. Even like I live in. I live in the country. And like the moment I hear coyotes, I go in the house

because I know like nature doesn't fuck around. Pardon my language. Yeah, not at all. Not not at freaking all. Not at all. So, you know, well, I think you passed unpaid and underrated, Not at all. Not at freaking all. Oh, not at all. So. Nope. Well, I think you passed unpaid and underrated, which I think when Keith comes back would

give us a chance that if you have anything for us, so if you have anything for us, start with what you have for me. All right. Well, I was going to ask, I was going to ask you and Keith simply if You didn't have power lifting or in Keith's case now strong manned what fitness What would you do for fitness if you couldn't do those two? I will start probably nothing To be honest with you, I, yeah, you know, you go back to some of the older episodes here, I actually hated fitness.

I, my middle school and high school teachers really, really bummed me out about any idea of physical wellbeing or physical fitness. I had a job in my early, let's say mid 20s that kept me in shape. I was, um, I was actually working for what you would call, uh, like a, an outdoor supply company. So you would get an order of 70 canoes and kayaks and they got to get on that truck in the next hour. Okay. Right. Best shape I was ever in. Like I was just in such good shape. But like the idea of going to the gym and working out never appealed to

me. So then somebody once challenged me to a obstacle course. He was like, I do this mud run every year, come with me. So I joined a gym, saw the personal trainer. Like it was like, you get five free sessions. And I'm like, all right, show me what to do. And he put me on like the suicide bike. He put me on just stuff that I was just like, I hate all of this. Like, this is not what I wanna do.

And eventually my friend, big Steve, former podcast guest and a good friend of mine introduced me to dead lifting. And then I was like, this is the greatest thing I've ever done. So that's when I started dead lifting. And I do think that like, if I didn't have strong man powerlifting or just strength training in general, I'm not sure I would keep up at all if I got to be up front yeah because like I don't I don't like cardio I'm not doing CrossFit any day of the week right like I would legitimately

if if somebody said to me you can't squat you can't SBD anymore you can't squat bench deadlift and you can't carry rocks or sandbags anymore. What are you going to do? I would go, well, I'm going to get fat out of shape because those are the things I'd like to. Yeah. Yeah. Since the beginning of all the rock conversation that I've run into, I'm like, there are a

lot of rocks floating around here that and the thing about rocks like somebody brought some rocks down to the Los Campionos and they were sharp and nobody could really lift them because I think like Trond got cut I got yeah like they were just sharp rocks but sometimes you're just driving and you're like or even if you see a log across a ditch and you're just like that I could move that log, right? Like and even if you can't the idea of trying Same with the rocks is so interesting. Like yeah, what if I could even stand up holding that rock now?

I don't want to shoulder it. I don't want overhead press it. That's a big rock I wonder if I could hug it and stand and yeah, that's that's the rock talk that that I'm into is just like That's a pretty round rock that I could lift Yeah, I Do appreciate the when we're out? For wheeling or we'll call it razor-red and whatnot with ATV UTV And yeah a tree is in the way or something. You're like, I wonder if I can move that. Yeah, don't worry about it.

I'll get it out of the way. I at least gotta try before I just chop it up. I don't know if you've gone this far back, but it's one of those times where my dad, who I live with, used to kind of like mock the gym, right? Like you're not really doing anything. You're just going there to like talk to people and be social. And I was like, you have no clue what I do here. And we were, we were cutting a tree down in the backyard and we cut down that tree and we cut

down a second tree. No, no, no. It was all the same tree. So we cut down the top branch. It fell. Then we cut down the main tree and it fell and then we needed to somehow move the main tree off of the small tree like right and Okay, I'll go get the chains you go get your tractor blah blah blah blah blah And then I went now we're not doing any of that and I just used one of them to move the other one And yeah, never once made fun of my gym going. I was like we're not doing any of that I'm just gonna do it and that was where it ended and yeah I just I honestly don't think if if somebody told me I couldn't do strength training ever I don't know what I would do. I

wouldn't suddenly get into cardio I wouldn't suddenly get into cardio. I wouldn't suddenly get in the crossfit I would just be like well, I'm fat now. I Got some downed trees in my in my backyard that need to be moved Hey, you know what? Yeah, I'll book some time in January fly me out. I will I will come and move some trees We might have some snow to give you some cardio to go along with that. I love snow. I did. We we this has got to be the worst winter we're currently having. Like I can see the ground. It is depressing. Yeah,

it's like 3540 degrees. I'm like, it's's all fog All I have is fog In the middle of December, I can't see the neighbors yard So Keith the question was if you couldn't do strongman or powerlifting, what would you do? For like a strength sport or just life exercise, let's just call it exercise in general life. Exercise, let's just call it exercise in general. I mean, I guess just the gym bro bodybuilding shit. I mean, that's just going to the gym and just kind of doing shoulders and biceps and triceps and the leg. You know, I don't know. Like I, I did powerlifting for 10 years almost and or like seven or eight

years and now I've been strong, d for a year, and it's been great as far as an alternative. I don't know, what else do people like? I guess just chasing the pump. I never really, I only did that for like a year or two, and it was like just, you know. You wouldn't go after triathlons or CrossFit? No, no, that all sounds horrendous. Olympic weightlifting would be cool to try for like a minute because it's very technical but also and it would just, you know, it's all like, you know, it seems like it's just all overhead and quads I guess but that would be, that would be the closest thing I guess. Yeah, because I'm not doing, I'm definitely not doing burpees. I mean

Olympic weightlifting, I think it still takes a massive toll on your body but that would be maybe the closest thing to that kind of chase or I guess really go into the you know Following up on the crew falls just like grip and arm wrestling is a huge thing Like I got a buddy that's really into it here and he like he goes down to Pennsylvania regularly and does like grip competitions And he does pretty good at he's like, you know, he's a he's like a rock climber dude And then I think they do yeah, they do like a weekly arm wrestling thing They'll do it on the pier because there's like a pier with like tables They can do it on and the in the you know, the good weather and then in the winter they like, you know

Someone has one in their garage they go to and they get like, you know handful of guys together to do that So I guess something like that where I still get the camaraderie, um, cause that's like half the reason I do this shit. That's a good point. I said I would do nothing, but I think I would like, if I was granted the luxury of the same amount of time and energy, I would probably get back into parkour. Like I, I, yeah, I could see me doing ninja warrior Like if I was granted the luxury of like you have that you have the time to go and train the conditioning train the strength

Do that? Yeah, I used to love that kind of thing But also at the same time ninja warrior is insane and I don't I don't like cardio Yeah, but like the idea of being able to like fly off of things and land on your feet And stuff like that. I used to do that like when I was younger, but also I'm 40 tomorrow So like I don't wanna like I don't really want to do that kind of thing anymore But if it was like you can't do the things you like What are you gonna do? Yeah. Yeah, maybe now that Keith brings up Olympic and arm wrestling all that I forgot other things exist. I might get, yeah, I might get back into parkour. Yeah. I like

the grip strength. That's been pretty fascinating. Kind of learned over the last couple of years and kind of see what people do. But yeah, the, uh, the parkour makes complete sense. Like that would roll right into any sort of grip strength. Yep. Yeah, that's awesome. All right, Keith, I got one last one specifically for you. Uh, unpaid or underrated toenail clipping. It's the most disgusting thing. I can do my, so that would be unpaid. Like, like my wife and I get into like, like, like we don't, we fight a lot, but

like that is the start of several of them is, like her just starting to clip her nails. And I'm like, you know, I'm leaving in like 10 minutes, just wait 10 minutes. I just gotta get the one and I'm like, it nauseates me like the sound of anyone clipping their nails. When I see it on TV, I like I like I almost vomit like I have to mute it or do the whole plug my ears and then put my hand over my eyes to just cover up that clip. I don't know what

it is about it. I wouldn't say it's been that way my whole life, but definitely the last as long as I can remember. So maybe not as a kid, but I guess as a kid, I don't really know people clipping nails next to me. And honestly, the worst part man, like this is just like the me and you opposite thing. My toenails grow at such an insane rate because my wife makes fun of me all the time. She's like, you have to clip your nails

at twice the rate other people do because they just turn into claws within like three days Yeah, no, I hate it. You're like three weeks for that clip of my nails. Oh, I hate it. I they're not that long Yeah, I'll go five days and then I'll look down and be like how did you get that long? And then I've got to go after them and file them Yeah, wait till you're old and got to have so you got to pay somebody to clip your toes when you're like 80. Oh, I love going to pedicures. Yeah.

Don't threaten me with a good time. I've only had two and they've been bullshit. They they're lame. Oh yeah. Alaska doesn't have good pedicures. I've done one here and I went on vacation and we were in Hawaii and I was like, that was the first one was in Hawaii And I expected I don't know I don't know what I expected

Same thing like I'm like there's not a lot of good massage. I haven't found a good lot of good massage therapists I think I've I've had a handful of pedicures And it's like unless you're getting a really good calf massage and a foot rub out of it It's if all they're doing is just kind of washing your feet like that's not what a pedicure is to me No, no, I need I need to be for me for for me it's the filing off of all the dead skin. Yeah. I love that because I get a lot I wear barefoot shoes I'm on my feet eight to ten hours a day at my job and then like you go in there and they're just like we're gonna need the razors and they'll bring out a razor and like shave off the calluses and the dead skin. Like that's, that's the promise stone isn't enough.

No golf for what I get through. No, God, no. I got a, I got like a, one of those like raspy things that I use like once every couple of months in the shower, just well, it's supposed to do it dry. So I do it like I do it in the shower cause it makes a big mess, but it's only my right foot, my right foot's bigger than my left foot. So I have like almost no like, like corns or anything on my left foot. My right foot's got the whole inner,

the whole insole, or the inside of my arch, I guess. So, yeah. But fucking take your Nintendo clippings and shove them up your ass. All right. That was good. Was that it, Big Kim? Yeah, that's all I had.

That's all I had. That's it. Yeah, good episode. All right. So I guess... Yeah, I'll let you do all the outro because I don't have any of that up right now. Oh, really? Ooh, I get you.

I stole your See You Next Tuesday a couple weeks ago. I'd like to do that part. I felt bad for taking that from you that one day. I thought about that for like two days. I guess I meant the affiliates because I don't have them in front of me. Affiliate links. Let's go with Obsidian first of all.

I've been getting a ton of referrals on that one. He released the White Monster one. And follow up on that. Is it actually scented like anything? Or is it? It's scented like White Monster. OK, I didn't know if the guy just puts like anything or is it it's sense of like white monster? Okay, I didn't know if the guy just like puts labels on it and it's just more no No, if he actually like tries to make them scented like what they're smelling if he releases a scent it's a scent

Okay, so he released that and within like I was at crew Falls I had like three referrals for I think in two days three in one day Yeah, code unpaid or lift bearded at that one, it's all the same code for me. Of course, Kim gave us the wonderful code barbellrescueunpaid, save 10%. So it's essentially a $5 discount off of a barbellrescue brush.

So you're certainly not to order one if you don't already have one. We've got plate snacks We got home gym con belt fed strength and the strength co the strength co is only the apparel Which is still amazing because you know, big grant does not like discounts and belt fed strength Those guys giving us any kind of discount You know, they're a home-based business as well. So, you know, they're cutting into theirs just to give us, we don't get anything from them, but we get the recognition of, hey, we're crew.

They're the belts we wore along the way. Yeah, the true, the true kickback is the friends we made along the way. Indeed. All right, Big Kim, I just want to give us out where where's the best place to follow you? Best place where I live my life is Barbell Rescue 1. And then also Freezin' K and Freezin' Fitness. It's all in my Discord bio, I believe. Oh, nice.

Smart man. I don't have to. So I don't have to spell big scants through that one. And I was like, that's smart. I don't have to so I don't have to spell big scants through that one. I was like that's smart I'm sure it's a little man old man has some wisdom in him. He really does I Know you so you were you were you said you were in your early 20s in 2001 So what are you like 45 46 where yet? I? Just turned 47. Okay damn good man. Yeah. Yeah, definitely in the

In the grandpa at that. Yeah. Oh, yeah, not a lot of time. Yeah, you are there any She's got to be a handful of crew grandparents, right? It's gonna be a couple I Would think I was trying to figure out I've been trying to figure that one out kind of from day one about who was Who all the old crusties were? But I was surprised on that. I've been surprised on how old the group is in general like like it's I think it's skews towards 30s and 40s right like I know there's outliers on each side the mean motorboat but Definitely skews towards the 30s and 40s
