You got me in West, Tennessee We got coach carp in Middle Tennessee and Chris is holding down East, Tennessee That is the three stars on the flag of Tennessee nice No, that's pretty cool. We'll see no, but no other states showing up like this, huh? That's right. I Wonder if so is uh, what's what's bigger Tennessee or New York? New York is the biggest in the world.

Upstate upstate Tennessee is a lot smaller than upstate New York. That's for sure. Who has the most? I don't think New York's got like four or five. We've got five. I'd have to add I'd have to go through and actually well look at the map, but that's not We'll do big map later. Yeah, that's right Yeah, the only thing bigger than the state of New York is the constant state of panic in which I exist

I'm a dual citizen there as well Well, we probably for for time's sake for I can't do a five-person. What are you drinking? but let's We can do an abbreviated one if anybody sake for I can't do a five-person. What are you drinking? But let's We can do an abbreviated one if anybody has something I'm knocking out a Waterloo blackberry lemonade and it's pretty awesome I'm on vacation. So I have no concept of days time or anything So I'm drinking a beer and I have some Jaeger and I've got some water as a standby because I love my water What but yeah, I'm gonna see if this boy's got a crispy crack Nice oh that is that is that out

That is a diet Mountain Dew because I can handle my diet Mountain Dew at this time of night boys Here we go take that care Sir I Take that Garrett. Thank God. I do like Diet Mountain Dew. I had a Dr. Pepper, but I thought I don't want caffeine this late at night, but you guys, well alright, show me up. Yeah, I just polished off a watermelon dollar store energy drink. You got a lot of leather to do tonight? We just finished putting together 55 tricep straps Jesus. Yeah. Yeah Do you have an affiliate code there Chris I think it's a pioneer fitness is that what it is

Big Matt save your 10. Yeah, big, big Matt Haddon. Friend of the podcast unpaid baby. You know, this is a, this is obviously big Chris from belt fed strength. Uh, code unpaid, I believe you got it. Or crew crew only. Yeah. Yeah. Crew only please. I don't share that code on social

media and I try I discreetly only try to tell crew I've had one of our buddies used it that wasn't crew and I kind of mentioned that last week and I said like one of my friends joined crew but doesn't the podcast he's the one that joined crew because he accidentally used the code and then I was like it was kind of for crew dude because like he was inadvertently told the code by someone and He like did the good like he didn't really I mean he didn't have to join crew But he joined crew basically in spite of himself to be like fuck. I shouldn't use that code So I thought that was pretty good got off the lipstick list for that. Yeah

Right so the next big Section I want to bring up is Keith Explains Shirts. Oh, God. Yeah, this is definitely thing I'm going to go through with every chance I get. So I want to hear what everybody's wearing that I'm going to pick one of your shirts and I'm going to ask Keith to explain what that shirt means. I hate you sir. So I am wearing a Mastinomics powerlifter tee. I believe this is the only t-shirt that I have so

I got to work on that a little bit. I hear there's none paying under a week. I have another product. Well see I'm planning on getting that one after I've been on the show. I thought that was the way you had to go. No, we want people to, we don't, don't, don't let the listeners get confused. We need, we need them, you know, buying it is almost a prerequisite to even being a guest and we kind of just let you slide in, you know, you just, just because you were a, you know, a contest winner. That's the only reason you're, you're, you're able to get on without having a shirt yet. I just, well, Tanner just sent me a text and said, there's only three of the extra large left, so I better hurry up. yet. I disagree. Well, Tanner just sent me a text. Said there's only three of the extra large left,

so I better hurry up. Yeah, I disagree. I think I want the crew manatee to own that shirt. So it's the people that I really know and understand of this podcast. Because then when you see them, you're like, you're crew, but you're also nudge nudge, wink wink crew. 30 second degree.

Yeah, yeah, that's the one. Um, I see a lifting department shirt over on carp. Yeah, that's the, uh, the, the black variety. The blue. Hmm. Hmm. We'll let that slide. Chris, what are you wearing?

I'm living in shame and wearing a, if you can't be happy, at least you can be strong. I'd let them. I'm dead. I have that shirt. Yes. My lover Jenny is, is like one of the weird Instagram friends I made off of social media. Jenny is the best.

Keith, what do you got there? I've got a, uh, in honor of our guest, Nate this week, I, uh, I thought I had a green Masonomic shirt, but I'm not having fit anymore, so I had to have a green power lifting shirt from a meat I spotted and loaded at last summer, uh, you know, but none of them fit anymore. So I had to have a green powerlifting shirt from a meat I spotted and loaded at last summer in honor of Nate Green. Hey. All right. That's very nice.

Then I guess you're going to explain my shirt. Which one are you wearing? All right, I'll stand up and show it, and you have to describe it to the crew. Oh, Dick Joey is wearing a Dodzilla special from the Dodzilla's logo. Can't really make it out. I've seen it before. It's not the sticker logo.

I don't believe it's just, uh, I don't know. It says Dodzilla. Dodzilla is this Masonomics supporting number, number numero uno. So, uh, and I think he had some medium or large shirts, uh, in, in, in surplus. And, uh, he, Joey hook, he hooked Joey up with one last year and I remember giving him hell about it and he was like yeah I only got smalls and mediums so I can't help you Keith. Okay so this is the Dodzilla deadlift dungeon and what's ironic about this shirt there's two things here that are very important to point out he's not deadlifting in this shirt at all. He's doing a log. He's doing a log

and there's a nice bottle of ammonia just leaking poison out at the bottom. Nice. Obsidian ammonia code unpaid. Code unpaid. Oh, I've been going hard on that. All the people asking him for free stuff, I just go to their page and just like throw my promo codes out.

It's been, it's a good troll level that I'm happy for. Yeah, definitely. I think I share that code significantly more than you. So hopefully I'm sending some traffic your way with our code. Oh, yeah. Those monster, whatever that monster one he did, I got so many referrals on that one. If only I could figure out how to cash that in.

Because every time I go to use it, it doesn't work. And I'm just like, help. What I'm going to do is honestly, he lives like an hour away from my work.'m just gonna go there one day and be like Let's be both. Where's my speedboat? Show me some photos. Let's let's do a You know, it would be a cool. It would be a cool collab. Especially be good content for our channel We have a channel. I mean

We have a you know an Instagram YouTube Gym channel, you know where we go to friend's houses and tour their gyms and stuff. Yep. Number one urban podcast. That still cracks me up. That's great. Who was that? That posted that. And as he was like, why doesn't my, why doesn't my car recognize? I think it was a newer. Yeah, it was one of the ones like Bowen. There's there's so many like newer guys that like are constant, like not.

There's so many newer names that are posting regularly, but like my brain hasn't caught up enough to like get them in my head of like, OK, this is crew. This is like one of like the inner circle now that like post regularly. It's just like I still like I'm caught off guard when I see like a name that's like less than six months old or something. And his car called us Urban Podcast. and I've been loving that ever since. Yep. It's because of all the cool slang I drop.

No doubt. No diggity, in fact, to keep it urban. Go ahead, Keith, move on. I'm done. So we can... Let's rate last week's Mastonomics episode it was... what the hell was it? Oh was it the ones where the pick the person that you thought was weak or strong right? Yeah

who you thought was Jacked. Who was Jacked or not. That was all funny they definitely you can almost tell that it was like because it was like their 2019 idea which I thought was kind of funny and they were just now getting into it six, six, six, seven years later. And I don't know how much I don't know how many more people they could have put in or taken out if it was like made today. But it was, it was pretty enjoyable. I think my favorite part was when Tanner was talking about his Edmund Fitzgerald book. And like, Tommy asked him like two specific answers. And it was like his eyes were just like I have no clue out of it like I don't know like I just got done reading that book but I couldn't tell you that answer I just I

just it made me chuckle because I'm definitely the same way like I will you know take something in and then just be like I can't regurgitate that information I have no clue so for all those reasons I'll go ahead and give it a five out of five Edmund Fitzgerald's. Nate, what do you got? Yeah, I like the, uh, the podcast was, uh, I listened to it twice just to make sure that I'd have things to talk about. Now I'm in the place where a Tanner was where I can't really remember what they talked about too much, except for, uh, a couple of the couple of the jacked or not jacked were, uh, off videos or movies that are kind of were past me since the

guys are so much younger than I am because you know I'm old and being my birthday today 46 guys birthday Absolutely So old it is It is the podcast was excellent though. I give it six point nine out of five iPod shuffles you know something about it, it's a high ranking and you know when it got to the part where he was going to talk about supporting the supporting members,

which is the benefit of all of us, right? He couldn't remember anything to do until Keith told him he was on the underrated podcast for last week. So since he didn't have anything available there, I'm going to have to knock off a couple of points. I think that's worth about 1.9 Points so he's gonna get five out of five jacked oiled up saxophone players from the movie lost boys Glad you didn't pull a big Jeff there I'm on screen going five five five Not allowed fucking fucking freaking five every time David. Yeah. Oh there we go. We've already used up our phones.

Oops. Sorry. Sorry everybody. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Definitely enjoyed the episode. Kind of a weird concept. Cause like here we are like seriously just body shaming people and like questioning the... That's true yeah

questioning the the efficacy of Hollywood because yeah Tom Hardy in in Batman looked jacked like he he looked big but I don't think he looked like muscular but he definitely looked like a lifter. Like if you saw Tom Hardy in that one scene with his shirt off, he looked, I just watched last year's World's Strongest Man, like he was built like Tom Stoltman. Like he was just big. But here he was only 195 pounds.

That's like Tom Stoltman's like leg and like to be half of his other leg. It was kind of just like, ah, That's like that's like Tom Stoltman's like a leg and like yeah, I know It was kind of just like Cuz like I Half of the scariness of Bane wasn't his size Right. It was his presence and all that So yeah, it was kind of hard also Chuck Norris is tiny Chuck Norris Chuck Norris weighs less than me By the way, and he's taller than me by a few inches. And he weighs less than me.

So it was really funny to hear that kind of thing because I was just like, yeah. I'm curious how big he was in like the 70s though. Cause like, I remember him from some of the Bruce Lee movies when he was like, or maybe not some, but there was at least one movie. He was like the villain in a Bruce Lee movie when they were like fighting on an island.

There was one movie. Was this the one? The one movie. Yeah. But to besmirch Chuck Norris, and yeah, that was the one. Yeah, the one, the one movie. Yeah. But to besmirch Chuck Norris, I mean, that's a little bit over the line. That's third rail stuff right there. He was, he was like 18 or something in that movie too. Like he was ridiculously young.

So, um, interestingly though, yeah, he's just not big. Um, I think we could have like, we could probably ourselves do a action stars that aren't as big as they seem. Because remember, Jet Li in every movie ever is only like 5 foot 2. Oh, wow. OK. I figured he'd be like 5' 5 or something.

No, he's a tiny fella. So I thought that was really interesting. Also, I have lots to talk about on the Edmund Fitzgerald as well, being from the Great Lakes area myself and enjoying that kind of thing So I'm gonna go ahead and give that a six out of five Henry Cavill abs from The man of steel because we want to talk about guys that are jacked that looked jacked

Henry Cavill is a big dude big dude Now do you have to take one of those points away for the make and she's five out of five are you sure you're not gonna I mean you could always take it away since he made a ginger joke about not having souls how dare you so yeah five out of five no swear words not forget that Bolo Jung was jacked. He was yeah The villain in Bloodsport and lots of other movies next And it was Tong Tong Poe I believe was the kickboxer villain they couldn't remember the name of because I remember like saying that in my head. That's who it is Kid I always thought his name was I think as a child

I always thought his name was like Tom Pole and then like as I got older and watch it again I was like, no, it was definitely not Tom Pole. It's Tong Po. Oh, yeah speaking of that Tanner in the YouTube video because we're gonna get into that I imagine pretty soon. Yeah A Q in Mandarin is pronounced with a sh so it would have been a shing pan not king pan It's a weird thing I learned how to randomly phonetically speak like six languages because of my customer base. So yeah, Q in Mandarin is kind of an S H J sound like a sh and then yeah so it's shing pan not king pan. Anyway, I'm a polyglot. You're American Well speaking of the YouTube video so that that one drop that's the one that dropped today it was a

Big Tanner and Tommy in the the Bastnomics basement gym there going over the new Alibaba dumbbell racks that he finally got both of them set up and everything and kind of walking us through the whole story on All that it was kind of interesting the funny fact was I'm ninety nine point nine percent sure that I was the one that like sent him like the contact information to a buddy of mine that actually had one from that company and Like they had some back-and-forth dialogue. So I was pretty I was like I was like, yeah I guess they're not gonna talk about me, but he said he was like, oh somebody But it was kind of funny So I actually sent the YouTube video to the my buddy that had talked to Tanner months ago and like gave him like the

Run down on it and stuff. So he was like I'll have to watch that later So let's kind of you know full full full circle there of beginning to end of that one But uh, yeah, I always enjoyed seeing the gym in the videos that they put out. So it's good stuff for me. I Specifically like the time-lapse of Moving all the gym stuff around and then Megan came in. Yeah, it was just like it was the meme come to life Tanner moving everything around and then the person is Was it that I mean so I guess in my head I assumed it was Megan Stone, but it was so much better Well, yeah, there's at least two Megan's

But that makes it so much better if it was our Megan. Oh my god. That actually is great. Good good catch Just the time-lapse of him moving And we're like, yep got you. That's really good. That's really All right. What's next buddy? Let's see, so how much did they spend it on Alibaba? Uh, it was like $2400 versus eight grand. He filled up his whole house. It's like enough money on Alibaba to fill up three or four commercial gyms, isn't it?

No, it's just, just, just two racks that would have cost him eight grand from Prime. So, uh, the, the,. So the sister host are out in California currently so they got that going for them. I know they're at one of the David's house as of a couple hours ago in the video. I'm assuming they're going to hit up a handful of crews, gyms out there so that'll be cool to see in the coming months. Hopefully no one has a Paul Floss moment in their video gets delayed, four months. But maybe that is the secret sauce because Paul's video was at least two months late

and he actually had like tens of thousands of views, which is like, whatever the number is, maybe even, I don't know if it's hundreds, he had significantly more views than most of their other content and tours and stuff. So he kind of went a little viral there. So hopefully some of the other boys can have that same success. So, uh, excited to see who else they go to, if they're kind of going to keep

anybody's gyms under wraps on us, or if they're going to just kind of share some stories as the weekend continues. Um, and then I was listening to the Huck Finn podcast last night or the, the let's get stupid podcast that is, and Huck Finn, he's been hitting at it the last couple of weeks that he's going to, you know, he's got a couple of different trips, he's going to go meet Lou N couple weeks that he's gonna you know he's got a couple different trips he's gonna go meet Lou Nutter out in uh where the hell's Lou Nutter at Nebraska I think he was gonna be in Iowa or whatever he was making some trips out west and I know

he said he was talking about staying at Lou Nutter's house and then he was gonna then go to Mastanomics I think Saturday night maybe and then do some content with the boys on Sunday so if that actually, it'd be kind of cool to, you know, see them do a little collab. But knowing Huck's in, it could very easily not happen. It would be even funnier if they weren't there. Well, and he just crashed the gym and just like filmed his own content.

That's maybe happening, like, cause he's talking about, he's talking about, cause they're not, I guess the sisters aren't supposed to get home till late Saturday. And then they were gonna try to do something Sunday, but the Huck's gonna be in Aberdeen potentially like Saturday afternoon or something That's great. So we'll see we'll see I'm not sure if Lou's tagging along or not or if it's just a big boss man But uh, I'm anxious to see if anything actually comes of that. That'd be kind of cool to see I think that'd be hilarious He just shows up to the gym and just starts bench pressing., and and they're not even there that would be really funny

I he's still not confirmed for the Arnold by the way No, he and he'd said that last night too he's like like cuz I had a couple of people asking that in the live chat because they were recording on the YouTube and then like Answering live questions and uh, yeah, it doesn't have a clue. I think he said I'll be So hey, he will be there in person one way or another, but they don't know if they're dropping like 10 grand on a booth to sell 10 grand worth of content, you know, of merch, so to kind of kill yourself for three days

to break even versus just going there and having fun and, you know, not being out anything, so. I had to touch base, you had mentioned the Mastodonimics, or sorry, the World's Strongest Man finals finally hit YouTube, like, so I actually, that popped up in my feed last night and I actually watched the whole thing. I knew, I knew who won and I knew it was either, uh, you know, Moose or Stoltman and I couldn't remember which one it was. So I was just like, I'm just going to enjoy this for what it is. Like, and it kind of made me like, it's the first

time I've actually watched like, like the, not like a bootleg copy and just like seeing like people's individual videos posted on like different streams and shit. So it's the first time I've actually watched like like the Not like a bootleg copy and just like seeing like people's individual videos posted on like different streams and shit So it's the first time in a while I've actually watched like the cbs like production version and it took me back to like Being a 10 year old or a 12 year old stand up to like 11 o'clock midnight Um watching the esp and reruns and shit during summer So it was pretty enjoyable. Um, the most thing the thing that stood out the most to me watching that was when um, And I don't remember if I saw clips of it when it happened, but when um, Shit.

Evan. Jesus Christ, Evan Singleton dropped the fucking- Yeah, dropped that frame on his foot. The toolbox, yeah. I don't know how he didn't hyper extend it and break it. It was the most terrifying thing to have like a thousand pounds on your foot while your foot isic in the wrong fucking direction and then have like people run out and eventually try to pick it up but like it took like like a minute a literal 60 seconds or more for people to actually go out and pick it up so you're just the amount of pain that that fucker had to be in my god all right I'm gonna talk about it without swearing as much as you so I'm gonna the reason I even put it in there honestly I can't recall the last time they uploaded

anything like that. I thought it was really fun because I kept getting it in my feed and I'm going like, I've been watching World's Strongest Man for years and I've never seen within the first year them uploading something like that kind of, what do you call that? Like, just, well sure, just whatever, like a video showing the finals. By the way, it took them till 2025 to figure it out if they've never done it before. But like, come on World's Strongest Man,

like SBD's involved, you know, Rogue's involved, you got all these sponsors and you're still making us wait till like 11 o'clock at night on a Monday to see any of this stuff So it was kind of cool because I had to watch it with my kid and even Orin was just like how much is that? And I was like, you know, they're 865 and he's like I can lift 10 pounds and I was like 865 pounds like that's double what daddy can do and I get was really cool to kind of have that moment that's why I put it in the notes because like I either I don't pay enough

attention or finally they're uploading stuff in a reasonable timeframe. Still unreasonable. I think it was like nine months ago. Yeah, they should, they should be live streaming it, but like, I thought it was kind of neat to be able to watch some world's strongest man with my kids without having to wait till it shows up on ESPN or TSN2. Yeah spoiler alert, we're supposed to wait until Christmas to find out who won. Yeah, Christmas of next year.

Exactly. Alright, well then we beat general topics. It only took us half an hour, we did it. We did it everybody. Yay! Victory. We got through it. Do you want to move on to the ad read or Nate do you have

anything you want to throw in first or guests do you have anything you want to talk about? I'm just gonna say you guys worry about Avery Singleton he's okay now he's he's behind the neck place in like 430 yesterday here in Nashville so I think he's all right now I know that was eight months ago but he's he's doing good. It was scary to watch I'll be honest even I was like I don't remember this happening I don't either. Yeah Seeing somebody screaming pain like that. That was kind of crazy and then like they zoomed it they zoomed on the replay They literally zoomed in and slow-mo'd his foot and I'm just like, oh

Maybe that's why the NFL doesn't show the actual hits on replay anymore because that was terrifying. That's Yeah, let's hide the violence replay anymore because that was terrifying. That's close. Yeah, let's hide the violence. Carp Singleton lives out there somewhere near you, doesn't he? That area? He's somewhere in Nashville. Yeah.

He works out at Jason's gym. Uh, Jason's warehouse, the third plus drink. He's got a gym in the back of the warehouse and they've been doing a lot of throw-man stuff there. Oh, that's cool. Cool. All right, let's move on. Let's get an ad read going.

Uh, for Tanner and Tommy lifting heavy weights is one of the neatest things on the planet. That's why Tommy and Tanner started Mastinomics. Because they want everyone to know how neat lifting is. Instead of just Tanner and Tommy knowing it. How neat is that? That's pretty neat Oh, oh wow Score look at this. This is a Schisler eagle head. You can tell it's a Schisler

blue deep eagle head because the way it is uh And that's something you might hear Toner say on the show if you listen. Oh, wow. Oh, wow Look at look at what we got here. Yeah, these are these are crew more specifically unpaid interns supporting members of Mastinomics a lot of crew or Worker lifters and you can tell they're lifting because they lift things are really heavy Sometimes heavy is death metal a Crew will lift hard all day inside of their iron kingdom. And, and then at the end of the day, they'll, they'll live easy crew style. Ain't that neat?

It's not too often. Do you get this much neatness in one location? That's called massonomics. Nice. That's good stuff. How did I get into tonight? Very nasty. The cops are up talking.

It's the cops are up. It was like a Rick and Morty like. I can tell it was a South... Let me tell you. Go check out Nature Walk. Oh, okay. That was a reference your eyes ruining it what am I Keith? Yeah, you texting people that I'm ruining bits over here destroyed by glitter bomb bit delete that chat yeah Alright, should we well? We're not gonna kick, because they're going to kick everybody except these guys. Is there anybody else?

I guess one, two, three. Someone's got to be. Oh, no, that's just us. OK. I can't. When I count, I can't count myself, apparently. Good deal. All right.

I'm going to I mean, you can ask him, but I'm going to say there's a hundred. Is he still strict on the supporting member doesn't count as an order That's one.

So what's up? I got a new day up. Yeah, I'm proud of you, boy. My only hope is those actually show up on Zoom. If not, there's just going to be a nice, nice head air. Where any background, like coughing or hiccuping or anything, like it just ignores it. So let's hope that worked out.

Let's hope it worked out. Picked up Nate's soundboard. So hopefully it picked up our Nate soundboard. So hopefully. Well, if not, it was the singing of Happy Birthday. I believe that was Barney. And then Soldier Boyz U coming in at a happy birthday to you so that the best the best describing or yeah if it did show up you just explained it for

the Davids which they love when you explain stuff yeah I do actually appreciate when he does because some people's memes and jokes are so niche they're like I mean it's just like a Costco you know shirt like I don't get it you know so when he actually does explain it you know it just makes it so much better for me yeah tune in in about two weeks where we go through all of these jokes and explain them to a thorough amount I think it needs to be a a segment at the Arnold where I mean the Arnold should be easy because like all the shirts I Should recognize but like I don't know like you might have to quiz me and because there might be one that I'm just like, huh I really don't know where it came from only one

Well, I mean, I don't know it all depends on what they bring they got They got a little, they got a small booth this year, so who knows what they're going to bring. So, yeah, going back to the guest, got your hall of fame, got your sporting membership, you came in and you won an unpaid and underrated competition. You won the battle for the barbell brush. Battle for the brush. Thanks big carp coach. Yeah, coach. You got like 30 cartwheels on that one. I lost count somewhere. Yeah, by the time you hit the car. Yeah. I like that. Well, you broke your foot on the car. So like big question like you you kind of came in. You're at one you're

180 180 and you're killing it. So what brought you here? Well six years ago when I turned 40 I started for some reason I was listening to some strength podcast Some things along the lines there and decided instead of getting a Corvette for my midlife crisis I was going to get strong for my midlife crisis and at the time I was paying attention to Barbell logic, I'm still a customer of Barbell Logic. Yes, Chris. That's right. Chris makes fun of me for that. The owner was on, well, Matt Reynolds. He's been on the Mastinomics podcast. He was on with RIP at Starting strength and I started with starting strength. I got the belt and the blue book and RIP had on a couple of long haired guys that seemed like they were having a good time.

Masanomics and I went and listened to an episode of theirs and it was fun. And then I started cherry picking as we, many of us do Listened to Daniel McKim and a couple of others and then I said, you know what? I stare out the windshield a lot for my job So I'm just gonna start this whole podcast over and started at one and listened through to I haven't missed any since then So that's also on my card that I marked off listen to the back log. Nice. Yeah, like a backlog completer I'm a backlog warrior so I got to Northeast South Dakota through Wichita, Texas Very good nice

No, I still pretend. I don't know who my grandpa is Wichita Falls But you know that's a that's a good introduction and Dan McKim's episode is a good one to start with. He's a silly goose all around. So I'm a fan of his actually. I bought his Gains for Senate t-shirt. I didn't know that existed. That's funny.

Yeah. On the back it says creatine for all. That's a good stance to take. So you've been around for a bit. So we have to ask everybody because I'm noticing every once in a while something gets That's a good stance to take So you've been around for a bit So we have to ask everybody because I'm noticing every once in a while something gets brought up and they bring it out of the vault What's the one piece of Mastinomics merch you wish you got? the green Breaking parallel shorts. I'm wearing the green Mastinomics lifting department new shorts

But if they brought back the lime green breaking parallel, I would be one of the first to get them. Those are probably never coming back to be honest. I would imagine that's the case. So if there's anybody out there in crew land that can't fit into their shorts anymore and they have about an extra large or a large and want to offload those, I'm here for it. You're about a year and a half too late. I traded a pair of Lund larges, I think, for a pair You're about a year and a half too late. I traded a pair of LARGEs I think

for a pair of XL deadlifter shorts a couple years ago with a buddy out in Aberdeen. I wouldn't want to get in the way of that. Well I got a little segment here for you Nate. I apparently haven't maybe not been describing this well because some of the listeners and guests don't really get it. So it's called least fun, most fun. I'm gonna give you a topic, and I want you to give me, use your druthers a little bit, and go through and tell me specifically

the least fun thing about this topic, and then the most fun thing about it. It's not an either or, it's kind of tell me the highlight and the low light of this topic. So with you, you kind of already touched on it a little bit. I'm gonna kind of go a little broad with this, because I kind of put it down

with a couple of different items, but essentially starting your lifting journey at 40 slash starting a bucket list of 40 and just kind of how you kind of touched on your midlife crisis, you know, jokingly, and then like getting into lifting. So that whole concept, at least fun, most fun. So if we're gonna just focus on midlife crisis

for a second, one of the things that I had been wanting to do for a really long time that I finally got to do when I turned 40 was jump out of a perfectly good airplane. At the time, though, I was at some of the some of the highest this way, shaking your head. I'm not I'm I'll just I'll keep it to myself. Come on, Chris. This is our Here you're not here just to be I've never known you about your tongue Chris. Oh, you know, it's a new year. I'm trying some new things

Sorry sorry interrupt you Nate no, that's fine I was I was lifting and doing my fives, my three by fives, and my coach had me at, of course, you're PRing every session or so, and my joints hurt so bad, I could barely stand up in the cockpit, well not in the cockpit, in the back of the plane to get out, and the guy that was carrying me was already a little concerned with fact that I my girth was

at 230 and he I think he weighed about as much as jelly yeah I was gonna say Brad Pitt but that's better and so he was he was concerned that I was a little overweight and probably was and I wasn't helping him out much because I was just real stiff and it was hurting me to move around a lot but that was an enjoyable time so the least fun is wondering what I could have done had I started stuck with it from college or had I started it when I was 30 or you know anything along that lines that was the least fun and then the most fun is tracking along at 40 you know, anything along that lines, that was the least fun. And then the most fun is tracking along at 40, uh, you know, getting started, getting stronger.

Uh, my, my girls seeing me get stronger out in the garage, wife, you know, saying, you know, Hey, you're looking good. And those jeans, all that kind of stuff. And a lot of the, and I'll work out sometimes at the gym at their the girls school which has been official because the boys will see me and They aren't I think what they say what she say They're not afraid of you, but they respect how much weight your squat you're squatting and lifting and I'm like, okay, that's good I'm good with that. I'm good with nice. So that's least fun. What did I do it? Right? It's fairly new segment

Yeah, I'll take it. Yeah, I mean relatively new. Yep. Okay, but I yeah I did I didn't But butcher the explanation that time I guess so good deal That that that's a good feeling when you show up to the school because you know, my kids only in kindergarten So obviously I'm not too worried about scaring those kids But the teachers also recognize me and they like, and they're just like, Oh, you're here. Can you help us get this? Like, can you help us move this? I'm just like, yes, yes, I can.

I'm not weak. Anybody who wants to bully my child. I hope you're watching. Are you like a volunteer? Like, I guess I did. A lot of schools are kind of a little more locked down than that. So do you like volunteer at the school through athletics or something? Like, how are you getting access to like the athletic department

that doesn't seem common, I guess? It's a it's a private school. So yeah, the man can afford high end barbell coaching from a strength. Somalia is the private school. My gym is also outfitted with a Titan barbells. And some of them that I went to the Titan, I shouldn't say this. Let's see. How long could I be before I'm, uh, anyway, I went to the Titan

warehouse here in Memphis and you know, dumpster dive for some of it. And uh, you know, I've been getting yard sale plates and all that kind of stuff. So I'm having to pinch my pennies, you know, to, to live this small a weightlifting life. Yeah. Really cutting cost corners on that, uh, dominion strength belt too. I'm going to get a belt from you, Chris. Oh, are you just give me a time. Go ahead.

I'm paid. I wouldn't use that crew only exclusive. You'll burnish your own edges too. Talk dirty to me. You live in Tennessee and you don't have a belt fed belt. That's just, that's that's sacrilegious. To be fair. We don't, we don't really count that side of the state much. had belt that's just that's that sacrilegious to be fair.

We don't really count that side of the state much. Come on, man. All right, all right, all right, all right. Geez, could we could could we maybe do a sex segment? Yes, sir. Is there is there. So what? Is there Let's do a let's do a sex segment Keith I got something for you didn't I send you something I got a I got a whole I got a plethora of boxes That I think you and my wife had a very in-depth dialogue back and forth so she get everything indeed indeed Did she mark one sex segment for you?

I got I got I do have four and I have one that just says specifically sex Segment so we can let's have a look at that. It's my birthday. I'm giving out presents. Yeah, it's it's it's our Burke You know, I mean there is no individual individualization in crew, you know Even though every now and then I do tag someone in a crew meme, but I probably shouldn't but uh, you know We are all we are all one crew. So you should have heard Morgan trying to explain to me today with your post of mostly squat videos his meme and she goes She was like I think Matt's offended. I was like what? He came on and he said like no individual credit he looks like he's mad and I was like no no

He's trying to remind us that we're not supposed to tag him But it's also it's not the worst thing when Matt does share one of our things and we get I mean not that I really want Matt's like Followers that only follow him for memes to then follow us but still like you know getting a higher fall accounts never bad thing So what you get I got a box. I got some paper. She's taking it out I'm gonna open the paper up. So I got two little bags. I got a bit. Oh you got you So is it I got I got these nuts. I have a I have a pepperette these nuts It's not a pepper right meat bites, but Joey likes to calm so I have Joey's would be it would be like pepper

It's cut into smaller pieces. Yeah, so these oh I got to these nuts beats nuts cut into smaller pieces. Yeah, so these, oh, I got two of these Deets nuts. I'm assuming, so that's actually pretty clever. Deets and Watson is the brand. And then their play on words is Deets nuts. So we got Deets nuts, honey maple smoked sausage, original smoked sausage and pepperoni. So that's actually as close to a Joey pepper nuts

as you're ever gonna get and I'd prefer Smoke turkey in there, so I got a nice little variety of some dehydrated protein to consume later Tinson's right consume that away buddy. Yes sir, I will consume Dee's nuts. Good deal, appreciate it. Happy birthday to us. Happy birthday. Can we do a quick explanation of this because this is like insane.

So Big Nate found out he was going to be on the podcast about two months ago. He specifically picked his birthday because I gave him like five different episodes. There was a lot of back and forth and he specifically chose his birthday. And then packages just started showing up to our houses. I thought Carol Stream would take forever. Oh yeah. Yeah. Well they did.

And then some of them weren't marked properly. Some of them were completely unmarked. I just stuff. So eventually I had to like get my wife involved. And I was like, can you just add my wife to Instagram and tell her what you sent so she can label them or something? I so yeah. They go. That's the sack segments. Yeah, we really appreciate it. Every now and then get something but the nate did nothing this big. Yeah nate nates nates big sack that is full of these nuts is a very large investment on his end and we appreciate it. I'm a gift giver it's my love language. Yeah. Well did you want touch base real quick on what you do for a living it looks a little as much as you want to it doesn't matter us. do for a living? It looks a little as much as you want to, it doesn't matter to us. Yeah, sure. I work in the natural gas industry. Our company, we sell products and services to usually it's utility companies, so they're getting gas from

the transmission companies. They're sending it from, you know, it could be New Orleans up to Chicago and they're intercepting it along the way. And then they pull that gas from the trunk line to their systems. And then they distribute the systems out to like, say for instance, your house. Uh, so, um, it's just all, all the points along the way. Well, we take care of regulators and gas meters and we odorize the gas because natural gas is odorless and tasteless and lighter than air. And so I do field service work for the company testing gas meters for their accuracy, loading

the chemical compound mercaptan for the odorizer systems so that if you smell gas you'll know to call the company and let them know that they need to come out here and fix something at your house or look up for something you know in the ground and then also do training for the companies so that their guys can be certified as having known what they're supposed to do in the case of regular maintenance or emergency super duper exciting. I was gonna say like You're really interesting dude with a kind of boring job I

Do what is this what you make it? I mean yesterday I was in well not yesterday Tuesday I was in Bowling Green, Kentucky And I was at the snuggle factory where they make all the detergents So my truck smells beautiful and one of the cool things about the travel that I That I do is I might be out of out of my home base and I go visit carp Or I may be out of my home base and I go visit Chris or I may be just somewhere and I now can go on the And I now can go on the the Mastronomics map and see if there's a oh yeah There you go by they will accept people to come so I get the opportunity in my traveling to go and visit

And find unique gems around the area those areas where I am so that part of it is is actually pretty fun That sounds amazing, and I'm kind of jealous I would love to just randomly visit Chris and Carp. Like that would be amazing. And get paid to do it. I do have a quick work question. What do you odorize it with? Is it sulfur or is it like, what is it that like we have to recognize that smell?

It is a sulfuric compound. It's called a butyl mercaptan. It's a petroleum based chemical and it goes in little drips at a time, they get atomized, it's a liquid and it gets atomized into the gas, the high pressure gas stream as it's flowing out from the base to everybody's houses and whatever. So it's a highly flammable chemical compound.

Is there anyone that can buy the gas? Are there any commercial uses, do you use it where they don't have to get it odorized? So you can, if you're a factory and you're big enough or you're a big enough user, you can tap directly into the trunk line if you get permission from, say TransCanada or TC Energy or Boardwalk Energy, these bigger companies like that that have the transmission. If you tap into theirs, you're going to get unodorized gas, but you are then required to odorize the gas yourself.

So whether as we may fill up an odorizer for a town, we might also fill an odorizer in that town for another factory that's getting it directly mainlined off of the trunk line themselves. So you do by federal law have to odorizeize the gas. Gotcha. One way or another. So I just started eating some of the Deets nuts. I got the the maple honey smoked sausage. It's pretty good. But now I'm even because I think I was kind of I knew it was meat but like I'm trying to figure out what the nuts part is because then nuts isn't in the name. I think it's just because they're smaller bits. Ah, so it's okay.

It is true. It is a, uh, a nut. Yeah. It's a small nut size. Makes sense. This is not a flavor of nuts or custom to, I guess. No, there, uh, I, it's PG 13. So I can't respond to that.

Yeah. He, he prefers a little bit of stale cheese and he's eating his nuts. Um, I was watching the new episode of shorty had the funniest scene ever About like not being able to shower after like oh, yeah. Oh, yeah Great. Just like the the terminology he used for basically having ball butter was like the funniest thing ever It was just like a litany of vulgar Like without saying it was great and still

Still one of the least funny episodes. Yeah, I still think the first the first season had more to it. Yeah All right, um, let's see so you got in so you've been lifting for about six years now Are you still doing the five by five or have you progressed in some other? Training method. Are you on the juggernaut yet is what he's asking. I'm not on the juggernaut yet. I'm still being able to be made fun of by Chris for being a Barber Logic client. Rich boy. Yeah.

Thank you. Yeah. I changed the oil in my own vehicle so I can afford to tell my wife, hey, look, I changed the oil. I saved $100 right there. So, you know, tell my wife, Hey, you know, look, I changed the oil. That's like, I saved a hundred bucks right there. So, you know, okay. So I can spend 4,000 a month. So I can, that's why I can't afford a belt fit bet.

Sure. You've been for it to burn small edges. I'm going to send you a make your own belt kit. You should be spun up enough by now to, uh, to make a, at least a good go at it. Yeah. I'll give it a shot. I'll give it my best shot. So yeah, you start on three by fives. And as your, whatever thing slows down, say your deadlift slows down, you're not going to be able to come back. So you're on Monday lifted 355 and then the, the program says three 60 or three 65 on Wednesday.

If you can't get it, then you start going instead of progressing every two days, you progress every, every other day, every other training session. So you go instead of PR and Monday, Wednesday, Friday, you PR Monday, Friday, and then you PR on Fridays and then you PR every other Friday. So as it slows down and you have to just progress, you make those chat, those small changes in the program to keep you going, keeping getting those PRs as much as you can. So the program is, and Joe, you've read the blue book or you've looked into it.

The program is a cycle of stress recovery and adaptation. Yeah. And so on, on, so on Monday, you're going to squat, bench press and deadlift. And then you're going to come back and hopefully you've rested and recovered. You're going to come back on Wednesday. You're going to squat overhead press and deadlift.

And you're going to raise each of those lifts five pounds. Or in case, if you're deadlifts, you might do 10 pounds. And as it progresses, you can't do 10 pounds. And is it progressive? You can't do that forever. Wish you could, um, but you can't. And so eventually you start going, you know, Monday, adding five pounds on the dead lift. And then Tuesday, you may do a bent over or Wednesday, you may do a bent over row

to still get your traps involved, but you're not doing a dead lift. And then Friday you've given yourself that extra time to rest and recover. And then you go back and try the deadlift again. So you're, you're making small adjustments, uh, just, you know, minimum effective doses to your stress levels to keep you going. So I think my biggest concern here in, and maybe I just misheard you. Are you literally hitting one rep maxes every two weeks? No.

I'm not, I'm a little bit farther into the program than that. Again, I wish I could, but no, I'm not. Right now I'm probably hitting a rep range max, a one or three or five of a new weight that I hadn't done before every three weeks. It's more of a block now. So well again going back to the dogma that the novice linear progression the NLP you're raising the bar every session for a long time or for two or three months, in my case, you know, you're old, you can't do it as long.

You might go three months and you're raising the bar every, every session, every Monday, every Wednesday, every Friday, five pounds, just progressive overload. Yeah, that makes sense. You know, you're doing your three sets of five, um, with your squat for instance. Well, now I'm doing more like Well, let me kind of pull it up here and give you an idea for it So now you are doing see on Monday

Did I did bench press I did press lockouts? And I'm doing am wraps, you know, so what was your, what was your one by three AMRAP last time? Okay, let's do that one again. I mean, go up two and a half pounds, try that AMRAP again. And then on, I'm doing a four day split. So instead of every three day, you know, every other day, I'm, I'm spreading it out a little bit more to get myself more time to recover and all those kind of things. I may only deadlift once a week now instead of every, instead of three times a week, I'm just once a week.

And then I'm progressing along those lines there. Oh man, I went to Juggernaut Strongman and they only have me deadlifting once a week and I changed that. How do you feel about that? I hate it. Like I said deadlift till I'm dead wearing a shirt that Chris is wearing I miss deadlifts so much that I like added deadlifts just at the end of Strongman. Can you just tell Juggernaut you want to?

Yep. And you can just tell Juggernaut like I want to hug my heavy teddy bear and Yeah, so with strong man. I do with the four days. That's you Chris and The fourth day they have you do it you get to pick your own and it's speed strength and endurance and then you can add and Like speed and they're all the same. So like, do you want to axle press for speed? Do you want to, you know, sandbag carry for speed? Do you want to over the bar sandbag for speed?

Like you get to choose those. And then I was like, I just want a deadlift. Like I'm so sick of not deadlifting my deadlift bar with weight on it because you only have me doing it for AMRAPs once a week. I got sick of not deadlifting. But anyway, like I was just saying, it was just kind of weird the way you were explaining it. I was just like, are you literally like

adding PRs every week? Because when I first started lifting, that's what I did and got nowhere. But it's because I didn't have anywhere to start. I was like, well, what can I do today? What can I do today? What can I do right then when I got a program? Yep started actually deadlifting and and and yeah And then you might go someplace, you know again where I'm able to go to cool places and cool gyms You might go to someplace where the guys got a log and he's like, hey try lifting this thing. Yep

Oh, yeah, and then that's lots of fun., so now that I've been axle pressing in the basement, I'm kind of looking at it and going, I actually might have room for a log, but I got to make sure I can make that make sense financially. Um, but we all know I just want, I want a log. I don't have room for farmer's handles. I want farmer's handles. I tell you that I just don't have anywhere to use them. I leave them outside if I'm going to use them and I don't have room for farmer's handles. I want farmer's handles. I tell you that. I just don't have anywhere to use them. I can leave them outside if I'm gonna use them and I don't wanna do that. Just turn a circle. Well, even in my basement, when I do the sandbag carry,

like I'm still kicking stuff out of my way as I walk. Right. Right. So I don't think I have room to carry big heavy handles. I can use my trap bar and like walk in place. There you go. Carry big heavy handles. I use my trap bar and like walk in place Go on to the you know, the frozen driveway and slip down and yeah Just March just March in place in the gym with my Hey, welcome back Keith howdy howdy I had to go get a little mcaltra I got tomorrow off. So I was like I can't I and I killed myself

on deadlifts earlier so like I can I have type two beers in the house I can drink two beers and hopefully not get too hungover. That'll really help the recovery that's what I've learned. So as much as you can and then drink a ton of beer that's that's going well for me. Two's all I need. So did you guys know that there was a giant pyramid in Memphis, Tennessee? Pyramid scheme. No. Yeah. Plenty of those down. Gift curse all your money is car.

Even still here. I don't. There's a giant pyramid. And of course, being Memphis, it's filled with the Bass Pro Shops. And there are other things. Oh, speaking of Memphis, It's filled with the Bass Pro shops. Um, and there are other things. Speaking of Memphis, why don't you guys grab your, uh, grab your Memphis present there, Memphis present. Grab your Memphis present.

There is, uh, there are other things that Memphis is, is known for. And great barbecue. Some of the world's best barbecue of fantastic barbecue festival. Um, also known for a guy that owned a giant Pete and Cadillac and had a beautiful plane lovely career singing songs that some of them were his some of them were borrowed might have been stolen but we won't say that borrowed yeah and so the guys were opening their Memphis present.

I've given them something very nice. They are they are donning their gold rimmed aviator Elvis glasses. And hopefully you guys will be able to see this on on the discord pretty soon. Look at those guys. It's broken. Oh, no. Oh, I'll broken. Oh, no. Oh

Carol stream in one second Here we go Nice you guys look like you're ready to don a jumpsuit covered in There I got a shot Las Vegas Thank you, thank you very much. Yeah All right. Happy birthday to Nate sending me to us To us

Come on, I like the reflection of the ring light. It looks really silly And crisis you see you're watching us unwrap shit I'm a little jealous oh I'm not taking these off hopefully hopefully hopefully he gets you something here's a birthday you know like like a like a belt order you know he performs enough labor when he comes by I'm pretty set for the next seven or eight birthdays I think there you go. How is that? These are wonderful Speaking of Tennessee, how was the how's the recovery of the state going on gentlemen? Yeah, Chris give us an update on

More specifically the work you've been doing out in North Carolina if you would. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's right It's you well, I don't know how much How much you want me to open up but I, uh, I'm liable to get a little angry about it, but we'll, uh, Tell us what you can without getting too angry or too sad personally. See, that's a, that's a Herculean task there. Um, I, it's, it's going well, man. It's we're into the definitely into the rebuild phase deep into it.

Now there's a lot of Appalachian service projects, building a lot of houses and a couple other veterans organizations are coming around, but there's still, I was talking to Randy on the way home a little bit ago, how there's still like a very sad lack of local involvement, involvement, you know, people who weren't affected, who live five minutes away, but can't be bothered to get out of their house to lend a hand. And now they've contracted the, it's just unimaginable how much trash is still left over and just hanging in trees still months later now. And you know, 15 guys could go drink a few beers and cover four or five acres in a day and clean it up real nice. But you know, I can't, I can't get anybody involved to go do it.

So now they're contracting it out to somebody who's going to charge the state, you know, thousands of dollars a day to pay somebody $10 an hour to go do it. And I don't know. It's, but we're, we're definitely far, far farther along than we were. It's, it's coming together. Hey, Chris, give us a couple of, uh, if we were so inclined to, you know, offer, offer, open up our pocketbooks, open up our belt fed wallets and give some money to some of those organizations. Where can we do that?

Well, the first would be beltfedstrength.com. I think that's probably the best place to really, really get into the Helene victims. No, don't give me a damn dime. You have to buy bar oil and chainsaw blades. I've had so many people just leave. I don't think I'll ever run through this amount of bar oil that I've got now. Folks will come by and help and they'll buy their $40 gallon bar oil brand name stuff and use six ounces of it.

Like, hey man, I'm not going to use this again. You can have it. I'm not going to turn it down. I've got a pantry full of borough and gas mix and But I will interrupt you real quick. So speaking of borrow code unpaid at barbell rescue Kim also also offers bar oil not the kind you can use our channel But it is the kind you can use in your barbell. So code unpaid at barbell rescue for some borrow Oh, oh nice car carps holding up a bottle for us. Hey carp. What's it smell like three and one?

odorless I had a whole conversation with Kim at home Jim It is a it is a food grade essentially odorless oil Sounds like somebody needs to add some that what was it butyl mercaptan to? You don't need to add that Chris Chris, I interrupted you, man. Give us those, give us those places. Now, I would say far and above the rest, Appalachian Service Project is probably going to be the most efficacious. There's a ton of, I get kind of conflicted trying to figure out who

to recommend, but the two that I know that are on the ground doing stuff are Operation Allies Refuge, OAR Foundation. It's a little veterans organization by some younger veterans than I, and Appalachian Service Project. So if anybody's inclined to throw a few dollars their way, that's probably where it's going to get put to the most use. Nice. Appreciate all that.

We appreciate y'all even thinking about us. No, yeah. Yeah. I was for some reason I was like, I knew it was the Carolinas. But for some reason I was just like, I resonate. You are the one person I think of the most down there. And I'm like, oh, it's got to be Tennessee. But like, no, I was definitely wrong there, obviously. So good deal. Big Nate circle back to you here. Absolutely. So how did you get into singing? Is this something you did in like choir as a kid or I have heard multiple people have commented on your singing voice and you know different occasions hearing you sing and this that and the other. So what's your experience been like with that? Well, I grew up singing and I'm going to go to church on Sunday and Wednesday in the south and grew up singing and then I never really did it never really sang in high school. I was a band nerd marching band performer Then when I got to college my sister was in the choir at the college where I went and I joined the choir and gave me a lot of great opportunities there.

I actually got to sing for the older Bush. Is that H or W? That's H. And then I sang for George H. Bush for one Christmas concert. Singing took me in a lot of places around the world that I probably wouldn't have been able to go to. Otherwise we took a tour to Romania and I took a tour that went through Rome and a couple other places, Italy and a couple other spots in Paris and that kind of thing. So it gave me, afforded me a lot of opportunities to travel. And then I still, still sing almost every Sunday here at the local congregation.

Yeah, so that's the singing. That's the majority of the singing that I do. A couple little ditties here and there for the kids. That's the biggest part of it for me. I heard you have a you've done a pretty good version of unchained melody No unchained melody Maybe in your younger years. There was a there was a story

I don't know if there's a story that goes along with that or not. I've missed where it was actually in the notes I just remember reading that earlier. I Used to do a little bit of an Aaron Neville which I kind of enjoys like that's that Voice of a man that's on some serenading in his time. Do you don't do karaoke or anything like that? Yeah, I'll do some karaoke. Okay. Yeah, I One time Speaking of a contest that I've won Sit down for this one fellas. I one time won second place

That's right second place at a karaoke sing-off at a hotel in Hawaii Oh dope and the second place prize was Buffet breakfast the next morning That's right. Okay prize is important. But what song did you sing to win? my go-to karaoke song which is I'll be I'll be by who? Edwin McCain It was taking me a second to get there. You know my old brain Edwin McCain. I'll be

That's what I sang the lady that won. She's saying black velvet You know, that's a guaranteed banger for sure. Yeah all the all 12 people that were voting said that she beat me out That's just how it went Think that's the only thing I've won from singing besides you know the hearts and the hearts and souls of so many you know you got me and the friends we made along the way it's absolutely the friends we sang for along the way should we do them at Rushmore should we yeah you you kick you I'll let you pick first and if there's a good one left I'll take it we're gonna skip one of our normal segments this week just for you know, one reason or another but yeah

Hey, what you wearing? What you wearing there carp? Oh Belt here You the champion of Tennessee that's what I call it but I do really I do like my belt fed shrink belt I've never seen one of these. Never seen one of these. No, don't think it's just a beaut. The champion of Tennessee, that's what I call it. I do really. I do like my belt fed shrink belt. So if you ever see me not using it, Chris, it's because it doesn't work great specifically for when I

would. No, no, I love it for it. I'm laughing because Chris just gave me his arms crossed. It's my power of apologizing for not using it. It's my power lifting bell of choice when I do some of my strongman stuff, when I when I'm doing over when I when I'm doing clean and presses, you're not you can't have the lever in front and Chris is in the inside of his belt. It's a lot more tacky than my pioneer belt. So I can I can twist my pioneer belt really easily once I latch it or even before. Whereas I've

have Chris's on it kind of sticks to my shirt. So I can't use it for I can't easily use it as for strongman's have you ever noticed why the fuck? Why the crap is he still wearing his belt bed or his pioneer belt? That's why it's not for lack of an So I heard too. I got two observations. This is what I heard My pioneer belt is better and there is some whining in the cellar That's that's what I got that. Hey, I say like look man. I wear the same uses all day every day too. It's just like part of what we do.

I wear the same belt for like eight years and it was a big. It was a big change to implement a new belt in my routine. So the fact that I use it for three quarter of my lifts or you know, you've got one that is yeah. You hate change. I do so it was more the fact that I use it for any, any of my lifting after having the same style belt for almost a decade is a good,

a testament to Chris and Randy's company. I definitely, I understand, you know, when Randy and I got together, I had a hard time letting go of my last girlfriend and she let her hang around for six or seven years before I finally got rid of her. She understood, you know, it's kind of if you find an understanding woman and understanding belt maker. Yeah, I upgraded my phone about a year ago and yeah, I just left that other one around

for as long as I could too. Yeah. It's very important that you just kill you never move on and upgrade to the past. Yes, it's very important. So I have a Mount Rushmore and I think this one is actually really funny because I want to hear about this. The top four ways to embarrass your teen daughters. That's what I was going to say. Oh, my gosh. Good deal. When I contest.

I'm taking notes because I have a daughter. She's a three nager. She's a nightmare right nowager. She's a nightmare So like I'm taking notes man Short shorts is a good one. I got those in public. Oh, oh, yeah public. Yeah. Yeah. Sorry you're not in public How how short is short You know a little shorter than the Mastinomics that you know, that we're currently donning. Yeah, buddy.

I mean, hey, Joey, you could go Silky's. I actually have never worn those in public and that's not on purpose. It's just, uh, public, depending on their age Mount Rushmore would be public affection. Oh, yeah. Yeah, my son hates that. Yeah, he's five Shouting at their friends across the parking lot. It's a good one Like like good shouting like hey buddy as opposed to you son of a gun? No, like by name. Oh yeah.

Hey Brandy! Hey Brandy! Brandy! That would actually be pretty embarrassing. Stop it, dad. Dad, shut up! Shut up, dad! But that's your friend. That's your friend. I want to say hi.

I always like to hear that Um, hey another belt head plug there if you are a little husky, he puts a few extra in there for you Yeah He told me that specifically. Yeah mine

Yeah, I could definitely go either direction on mine. I'm kind of right in the middle of it right now, which is good Nate I want one more story at least for you before we move on to another game. I want to know about your, you had a foot slash a leg or foot, leg or ankle breaking while basically either doing a video for or imitating Jackass, one of the two. So there's a whole story there and it was submitted a few different ways, but I think it's the same story. So tell me that So this story begins in college We had gotten some shopping carts from the local grocery store This would have been a set the mood so you would have been like two thousands in the early 2000 like

2099 probably 46 and had to be 2000 Yeah, the gold and we were there was a little decline grass Hill that had a curb right up here and we were of course running each other across the the way there the road and you Hit the curb and slide down the grass did that over and over again tons of fun There was one scene where one of the guys on the show was on a lifeguard stand and he jumped off the lifeguard stand and belly flopped into the sand. And I thought I can do that one. And so I'm standing on a rail, not to the flat ground but to an incline and I yelled,

hey guys, watch this. I believe the exact words were, hey, Stefano, a friend of mine in college there, hey guys, watch this. I believe my, I believe the exact words were, Hey, Stefano, a friend of mine in college there, Hey guys, watch this. And I jumped off of the ledge and it was six to eight feet high. So not, not that big a deal. And I was going for the belly flop and changed my mind and put my feet down. And I put one leg down and, uh, thought I turned my ankle just real bad. Like I thought I just sprained it real bad.

And I walked on it. I walked back up the hill and I sat down and took the shoe and the and the took the shoe and the sock off. Well when I pulled my sock off my foot kind of flopped over. Oh sort of the wrong way. Like a way that it had never gone that far before. And I thought that's probably not good but you know it was that night and I thought I just sprained it bad and so you know we went back to the apartment and I got a trash can and filled it full of ice and water and just submerged my foot in that until I couldn't feel it anymore and then you know went to bed got up through the night in an amount of pain and then the next day called the

parents and said I'm gonna go to the hospital. And then I went to the hospital and they did an x-ray. And they said, yep, you got yourself a spiral fracture there, friend. Oh. On the fibula. And if you're not familiar with a spiral fracture, think of, this is how the doctor described it to me.

He said, you've opened a can of biscuits before haven't you? Yes, I have he said well, that's what your bone did it broke in a spiral up the up the bone there so ain't good plate and a few screws and You know sometime in a cast on some crutches. So that's my biggest broken bone only broken bone really That's my Brick biggest broken bone only broken bone really That's my first real injury in life. I waited until I was almost out of college to get it. I

Think I lied because there's about two or three other stories here that don't won't really fit in unpaid or underrated And I kind of want to hear him. So I'm just gonna I'm gonna follow up with the broken bones so how did you not get any broken bones when you went barrel diving off of a tractor trailer that got jackknifed? There was a whole story of you riding in the back of a truck with some bed frames or something. Yeah. So, um, I grew up going to a summer camp with a guy that was right at my age.

So we grew up together, his dad owned the camp. That was his family's land. And, uh, so I was working there during the summer I think it was between my junior and senior year of high school and we were loading up some bed frames these heavy steel bed frames we were moving them from one spot to another and we being dumb and lazy dumb and lazy just put them on the end of the trailer, right? So we had all these steel bed frames on the end of the trailer, which is a terrible place to put it Which if you've ever seen that

That treadmill with a car on it when they you know Tap the back end of it and they show you where you put the different weights if you haven't seen that the riveting content Go look that up on YouTube If you put the weight on the back of a trailer it makes the connection of the trailer and the truck fairly unstable because you've put a lot of weight lifting up on the tongue of that vehicle and we're sitting over the wheels of a dual axle trailer of a trailer open trailer like a hayride trailers to what they used it for during the camp they had all the weight on the end of it and

me and another guy were sitting across each other from each other all over the wheels and then our my buddy that was the camp owner kid he was driving he was sixteen and a half and I was seventeen. And we started going down a hill. Well when we started going down a hill, that's when physics really started taking place and the trailer started pushing the truck. Well the old suburban, old Chevy suburban, those giant mirrors on the side, right? And I'm looking at him and he's looking at me with these giant deer in the headlight eyes because he doesn't know what's happening. We don't know what's happening other than we're thinking, alright, cut it out dude.

His name was Brent. Alright, it is Brent. He's still with us. Love you buddy. I'm looking at Brent and I'm thinking, I don't know what you're doing but cut it out. This isn't funny. And he's looking at me like, I don't know what's happening. It's not funny for me either. If you'll imagine the truck goes one way as the trailer is pushing it and the trailer goes in the jackknife direction in the other way, and then it corrects itself and goes back and forth, you know, see sawing back and forth across the lanes. Terrifying. So at one point, I am airborne because I have been ejected. Don't know why, but I hugged my knees up to my chest.

So I've made myself into a tiny little ball. I got thrown off one direction. The guy sitting across the trailer from me got thrown off the next time the trailer went and went his direction. So I finally have rolled a couple times. I'm just sitting there gathering myself, seeing if I'm broken or perhaps in another dimension. Do all the, you know, kind of self check. I think I'm okay. I go to stand up. I've realized I don't have my shoes on anymore. They were ejected at some point as I was rolling. I've realized I don't have my shoes on anymore. They were ejected at some point as I was rolling.

Dr. Sox on? He did. So I was sitting there, I'm sitting up, and remember, I got thrown off first, and the other guy got thrown off next. I sit up and look across the road and he's sitting directly across from me. So I rolled, I rolled. He landed. So when we went to the hospital, they're in this little town of Alabama, Lionville, Alabama, and they looked at me and they said,

yeah we're gonna clean you up. And they looked at the other guy and they said, yeah let's go to x-ray. So I were back at camp later on and I'm roadrashed from head to stern and he walked he comes in hobbling and he says the other guy that landed he says man Nathan you look really rough like I got all this road rash on me he's like you look really rough I said I may look bad Rodney but I walked in here I'm'm not on crutches broke his hip Geez the teenage like oh, so I got road rash. He got a broken hip But he got I bet you guys gave him help for that too down after they have to the after the initial You know shock wore off like, you know, it's like something happens old people breaking the dang hips. That's right. That's pretty brutal

So to overcome the physics in that case what you do kids is you for it? You don't think that's what you're supposed to do But when you gun it now the now the truck has control the trailer again instead of the trailer pushing your truck So I hope you never find yourself in that situation But if you do, you know haul in bunk bed frames on a dirt road back in Alabama You got a gun and get uphill and then slow down in 1995. Yeah. If I end up in that exact scenario, that's good advice. Thank you. You welcome. Try to remember that. We are educational podcast. Um, I probably the last thing there's, I mean, several stories that I could actually get into that all kind of tickle my fancy,

but the one I guess is, uh, essentially you you have you're pretty good at imitations it specifically said some teachers so from your youth but so outside of that because it won't really you know I guess if there's a story there go with it but if I guess are there any celebrity imitations you do or any impressions are a thing what do you what do you give me your route brush more of impressions you can do or just just just run with the impression impression topic segment here Oh, I mean you guys heard my spot on Elvis earlier We had Rick from Rick and Morty earlier on

Anybody else well that the teacher was our he was that like life science earth science and taught us about plants and His name was his name was mr Henry and he liked to teach us about you know different kind of plants that we might find out in the forest and one of the plants that he Talked about that we liked the most was milkweed. So you find you some of that milkweed. If you get a cut or scrape on your arm, you put that milkweed on there

and it feel a lot better. So that was Mr. Henry. That's probably the one that was being referenced about teachers that, uh, yeah, that I could, uh, yeah. And then, and then my Aaron Neville course, pretty good, that's pretty good. Yeah, that was pretty good, yeah.

I got a little bit of a Hank Hill that I think I do pretty good. It's not very far of a stretch, honestly. But see, he was in the propane business, where I'm in the natural gas business. That's two different industries. see he he was in the propane business rhyming the natural gas business has two different industries they're adjacent to each other

they are adjacent but i tell you what oh bobby he gets himself into a lot of trouble not doing what the old man tells him to do okay well speaking of that then basically someone had suggested you had a group of friends and you were either the older one or just basically at one point you were looked at as like the slightly older, early to early teens and you know, they were basically the

parents said hey you should look up to this guy, he's the example. But then after countless encounters of you hurting yourself or doing you know maybe not the smartest thing in the world They eventually just said he's a good guy. Maybe don't take his advice on stuff. Yeah, this is not a friend group. This is family I was early married and so apparently if you're married then you're an adult I'm not sure about that, but I heard that too I would say inaccurate because I know how young I was when I got married and I didn't grow up for about 10 years after that.

Yeah, take the cut, take the cousins down to the to the creek and you guys have fun. Well, there was a rope swing and I love rope swings and I went off the rope swing and I was attempting a front flip and it was a little too close to the water and the water was a little too shallow. So I came up out of the water with some scratches on my head. It was no big deal, but we know that if you get a scratch in water, what happens? It's just, it's all over the place. And so you're at a Creek.

I mean, what do you can't really clean yourself up? So you just have to go back. So then it's like, all right, everybody we're, we're leaving. I've, you know, I've hurt myself. And so then we're walking back to camp and I've got the, you know, the grandkids and the cousins in tow and they're like, Oh, what happened? And I'm like, it's just some scratches. It's no big deal. And then it's like, you know, well, you're clearly too irresponsible to be considered an adult. And I'm kind of thinking, I could have told you that she didn't ask all right um well we'll

probably move into unpaid or underrated unless you wanted to you wanted to hijack it's present time grab the one marked food fellas food now I will comment like I don't know how Morgan wrapped Joey's gifts or just does you know made them hidden but mine are all like in random other boxes and bags I think hopefully they're kind of funny they're easy to get home they are for sure it's just this one hasn't been opened so we have to knife this okay. Well that by you know Joy and I know you're not biggest candy guy Yeah, I got you some I got you some candy. I thought you might enjoy and it has a bit of a tie-in to Memphis cause

When you think Hershey, of course you think Pennsylvania you think Hershey, of course you think Pennsylvania. You think chocolate. But they don't make chocolate in Memphis. There is a Hershey manufacturing facility in Memphis, Tennessee, where they make those little duo mints. Like it's one flavor on one side and one flavor on the other side. Just little chalky mint candies. They also make Twizzlers, which by the way, a Twizzler right off the

manufacturing line is some excellent, excellent candy. Warm Twizzler. Very, very good. Well, I am mad about this at all. I'm loving mine. So you're familiar with this, Joey? Yes, I am. All right, Joey, tell us what you have So I got me some good and planning. It's a good and plenty. We have them up here under a different name But they are black licorice candy wrapped in In a hard candy shell And yeah huge fan of those huge fan of those so in the manufacturing process Basically, they have those giant cement mixers the ones that tumble. They throw the licorice jelly beans in there and then they douse them with sugar and then later on they douse them with another harder coating and then

beeswax to keep them separated. Joey, the red coloring on those, are you familiar with what they use to make that little red pinkish coating on there? Well, I'm kind of hoping that it's Beatles but it might be boats Coconil bugs. Yeah. Yeah, buddy. No bugs the you mash them up and they turn little red powder and there you go We have a version of these up here. Yeah, I forget what they're called, but they're not the same at all Now I don't know if on the back of that box it says made in Memphis, Tennessee But I know that I've seen them being made in Memphis, Tennessee. I'm already halfway through this box Keith did you get anything? Yeah, you must have been talking to Big Jen

It is yum yum sauce it is a a two pack large amount of yummy. I'm sauce. I will probably not be able to consume all this before it expires, but I will at least get through one bottle. I bet. Yeah, I have to actually meal prep chicken tomorrow, so I will be a little gluttonous and probably eat some yummy. I've never saw. I think I think I had steak when I was in Sioux Falls with the yum yum sauce So I'm assuming chicken would be just as good as a dipper or using that as a dipping sauce So it says it's it says it's yum yum. Yeah, Japanese steak chicken and shrimp sauce So I'm will definitely eat some eat some unhealthy chicken with this tomorrow Appreciate it. I think my favorite part about this is there was no bag Like the box itself it it just opened right into the box with us tomorrow. Appreciate it. I think my favorite part about this is there was no bag. Like the box itself, it just opened right into the box. Whereas most scenarios like there's a, it's a sealed bag inside the box. That's some movie theater access right there. Oh yeah. So don't eat all of these right now. Yep. Right. Joey, that was the most difficult

thing to find to send to you because Food across the border is apparently impossible. Yes, it's hard. I went to Amazon and I'm checking out and they're like, yeah You can't ship this and like why what's the big deal and then finally recurred to me? Oh, it's Canada So then I had to find some place that had to find a candy shop and then find the Those at that candy shop and then have them send them to you up in the we have a version of a white North I've got damn if I can remember with their name pardon my language, but Like we have a version of these and they come in like multicolored they look like the sprinkles they're not but these are the top

Tier version of these right like the original version of these Excellent say I'm looking I don't see it here. Sorry, I can't help you out there. It just says good and plenty, good and plenty, good and plenty. But we extremely appreciate it, Nate. You've definitely put more effort into crew gifts than probably the majority of our past crew combined. So I personally thank you immensely for all that. So, and we even, I know I have one more left at the end at some point, so I'm even excited about that one. Good stuff. Good, good stuff. I mean, is there anything else in the show notes,

Joey, before we move on to unpaid or? No, let's move on. I mean, I could definitely ask more stuff, but I'm pretty happy. I think we're tracking a good time to move on. So. I'm just gonna eat these candies. I'm not even gonna listen to anything in my garden does a does Chris or carp want to explain the

rules of unpaid or underrated to our guests and to the any new listeners we have do you guys want to give a rundown of unpaid or underrated I'm gonna give carp that distinction and honor since I've ran my mouth quite a bit today and unmute yourself there carp and let And let's hear it buddy. How do we play unpaid or underrated? Okay. Uh, just Joey have to do it. Carps carps audio is not working.

Do you remember how we play Chris? Oh yeah. So unpaid, uh, would be something you would say if someone give you, uh, an option of whether or not to own a belt fed strength belt or not that would be Definitely unpaid to go without owning such a wonderful piece of fitness equipment sorry In

Underrated obviously would probably be if you did own a belt fed belt the quality and the quality craftsmanship Local Tennessee resident to you has two of those belts that's underrated That's that's that's 200% more than when then big Nick no, they've had yeah I'm not big math over here But like is it just 100% or is it 200% like I think nothing can be 200% right? So it you could have one or a thousand more and it's still just a hundred percent more, right? That's always something I've wondered about statistics as well that very thing What are you basing the percentage off of you know, is it yeah, I get what they would be a hundred percent more

But I'm 200% also applause. Yeah, that's a tricky one. So we'll see if big, someday we'll get big math on and big math will explain to us all these questions we've had for big math over the last two years. All right, so big Nate unpaid or underrated, anyone that didn't get that, so unpaid, we'll just say-

Barely new segment. just say yeah yeah it is a new segment relatively new segment unpaid it's not so great underrated pretty great so specifically for you hand-picked specifically for big Nate Green I want to hear your opinion unpaid or underrated snowballs and if they have any negative effects in story and it in incidents that you might have had as a youth with snowballs and damage they caused? Yeah, no, I'm with you. I was watching some videos from the recent snowfall

of some children joyfully throwing snowballs at the plate glass window in their house. And it just smashes on the window and it makes that fun little splatter. And then they turned and started throwing snowballs at At dad's car and they were splattered and I was like you guys got to stop doing that. Don't do that because my dad bought a

1972 Buick Riviera Fresh off the lot back in the day. Emerald green, boat-tailed beauty with a 455 cubic inch horsepower motor in it. I learned to drive on that car and when I was a youth I threw snowballs at the driver's side window and the first two were pretty fun. The third one was pretty cool and apparently in the fourth one I picked up a rock in the snowball so then dad had a broken window in the car while it was snow on the ground and he wasn't very happy about it I can't imagine you know no as I understand understand his frustration how old were you ballpark old enough to know better I know. Yeah, I know that's like that's the worst stuff

I have like I have like a list of stuff in my head where I was like if I could have like a time machine and Like like not not not big stuff like but like little things like like just slight things where I could just tell myself to like Don't do that stupid thing as like a tenure a 10 to 15 year old That's where I was like maybe somewhere lately different somewhere between 8 and 12, you know 15 year old. That's what I was going to say. Life might be slightly different. Somewhere between 8 and 12. You know, something like that. Probably around 80. Yeah, because then it's just like that. As a 46-year-old, you probably still think about it and kick yourself in the butt over it too. I have some of those moments where I was just like, God, why didn't someone tell me to just not be stupid as a kid? Just don't do really, really stupid

stuff. Life would potentially turn out slightly different for the better. You just wouldn't have these like nagging anxiety things where you're like oh god for sure like I gave I gave my loved one so much like frustration and it was my fault good deal all right I'm glad that's over with yes yeah I mean you uh Tennessee doesn't get up to what do you guys get like an inch of snow a year or something that's right and it's gone it comes on Sunday and it leaves on Tuesday. There you go. All right. Unpaid or underrated let's go with the boomerangs and the story that might go along with that. Not sure why you know why do grandparents give the gifts that they

give. We often ask ourselves. Drum sets. It's always a drum set one one year. My grandparents gave me a wooden boomerang painted black white lettering on it that said ninja and then there were some there were some there were some Letters of some sort afterwards. I just assumed said ninja also and There was a open field across the road from our house and when I received this gift I was oh man I don't again. Yeah, so many years ago It was probably I was probably again like seven or eight something like that and I've got this boomerang I don't even know anybody from Australia But I have this boomerang and I'm throwing it and it you know

It goes and it hits the ground and I I walk down to the end of the field and I grab it and I throw it the other way. Goes down to the end of the road over and over again. Never does the thing where it comes back and hits a small animal or something like that. Never does that. So I put it away in the closet and don't think about it again. And then a couple years later, mom and dad are like, you need to clean out your closet. I'm like, okay. And I go in there and I'm and off the boomerang. I forgot about this thing, right?

I probably had mess with this thing in two or three years. So take it across the field throw it same thing Doesn't do anything go get it throw it back. It hits the ground. Nothing Okay, I'm done with this one last time. Here I go one more throw I don't know if it was the wind or the way I turned my wrist or how I flipped my my thumb but that thing just as pretty as it could go just started turning and turning and it went across the sky so beautiful and such a nice arc and then that thing started coming right back and I had and it had never come back before so of course instinctually I just closed my eyes and grit my teeth and it smashes me right in the eye

Right on the eye It didn't hit my eye, but hit right up right above it. Oh I'm a tough kid been bad So bad, but dang yeah I mean, I'm a tough kid and I just picked the thing up and I'll walk back across the road to to the house and knock on the door and Hey mom, you know, I'm bleeding, this thing hit me. And of course mother goes into her mother and she grabs me up and we have a, a cousin that lives up the road because it's Alabama.

We've got a cousin that lives up the road and she's a nurse. And so mom is like, I'm going to take you up there and see what we need to do. And then maybe we'll go to the hospital from there or maybe she'll rub dirt on it. You know, I don't know. It's the one cousin that you didn't negatively influence as a, you know, slightly older cousin. That's correct. That's correct. Yeah. So we go to her house again. I'm fine. I mean, mom's got a towel against my eye catching the blood But I'm not over. I'm not overreacting. I'm just I'm cool cool calm and collected kid

So we're in there. That's not that's called shock make Nate. That's called Tomato potato whatever We're there I'm listening to them I'm listening to the adults talk I feel this warm stuff on my face but you know blood or whatever the lady says stitches and when I hear stitches I know that means needles and when I hear needles I lose it I don't like needles I haven't like needles when I was little just hated them and it was just tears and snot and blood and

Hit in the face with a boomerang and it's like that's cool, but then you say needles I've done Nope, that's and the best part is you hit yourself in the face There's nobody else to blame but you so now and it's it's a self-inflicted wounds we gather along the way. Yep So did you give us did I did unpaid around oh that oh, yeah Boomerangs Yes, but underrated And needles needles unpaid. All right. Yep. Okay, I'll take that how has sites slight sidebar here. How is having a Crippling fear of needles affected you as a 46 year old man

Cuz like you've had to get in a couple shots over your life You had a drug blood drawn for this that and the other Do you have to take like a whole vacation day to like get your blood drawn because you're in like a panic attack Modes the rest of the day like what what's the how does that go? So when I was when I was little I was very allergic to wasp and The devil's flying needles. Yeah and if I got stung by one it would eventually it would immediately mean I had to get a shot of adrenaline and

That was a needle that was always in the car And so if I got stung by I I would just lose it, go crazy. At some point, again, I don't know, seven, eight, nine, I had this very conscious thought where I said, you know, the fact that you carry on and go crazy probably makes this worse. So don't do that. And then the next time I got stung by a wasp I was like, okay

Calm down go get your EpiPen smash it against your leg take the Benadryl take a nap see how it goes and Since that time the needles haven't bothered me much. I mean in college I gave myself allergy shots and I gave myself allergy shots and Phobia yeah, that's good. Good deal. Okay, so I'll hit my last one up probably here unpaid or underrated the 1998 classic that has been orange-glazed a 9 out of 10, which is extremely high rating the movie Armageddon And or you know, I guess anything goes along with Armageddon. It might have been a first

date movie possibly for you So the the guy that threw me off the trailer His first date first drive-in His first his first drive-in experience was also my first drive-in experience and Brent and I when we got to the drive-in there were two options I don't remember what the other one was but we decided as high school bros That we would watch Armageddon which is about as sappy as how to lose ten things and eight Guys or whatever it was a good movie as well

You were you were like six seven years old or so you watch it as a 17 18 year old I watched it. Yeah, 12 year old as a 12 year old. It was freaking awesome. And like well, I mean, it's a great movie It's also a love story. Yeah I mean the sacrifice at the end spoiler alert was like I vividly remember crying as like a child watching that movie It's like oh my god no don't die Bruce Willis don't die a great date movie not for not a bro date though probably not a great bro date when I read the notes I didn't realize it was your buddy because like the way we copy and paste it in it doesn't show me who submitted what so it just said our first date

was watching Armageddon so I assumed it was your wife, not your best friend. So that was the slight awkwardness there. So yeah, I hope that's true. Armageddon. I hope that's true. Yes, sir. My wife will tell me, how could you forget? I'm like, oh, sorry. Long time ago.

So end of the day, unpaid or underrated. Oh, underrated. Great movie. Great movie. Love it. I agree. Cool. What you got, Joey? All right. And or, sorry, Chris and Carp, if you want to think of an unpaid or underrated for Nate before we wrap up, you've got about five, 10 minutes to think of something to ask him after Joey gets his three done.

Unpaid or underrated, backspotters in squat. Unpopular opinion unnecessary it's a danger to the spotter and the lifter mm-hmm if you spot the weights or if you use mechanical spotters and you fail the squat appropriately which is forward slowly you know you you shouldn't have put something on your bar that you couldn't have handled now if you get down in the hole you can't get quite out of the hole well the spotters are there to catch you the mechanical spotters and or the people spotting the weights because if

you dump a spot on a person this is hearkening back to a couple weeks ago if you dump a spot on a person and they have to search her the 500 pounds that you just dumped on them. Yeah. Straight to jail. Straight. Yeah. Straight to jail.

I agree. Straight to jail. So, or the guy just knocks you off balance and you catch the 500 pounds on your neck, which is also we've seen to be, to be bad. So spot the weights, use your mechanical spotters, use your blocks, right? Ray Williams has got those giant money safes that he squats with or whatever, or use your sputting straps or whatever you need to do. Yeah.

Don't, don't put the guy in back squats or the ladies in the back squat in such a dangerous position, but you know, all fed seem to use them and everybody loves them and but Overrated agreed come wait completely unpaid. Sorry Yeah, I've never heard of that. I don't know what overrated is. I Mistakenly say it like every other week, but I just don't know what it means. It's only unpaid All right, sir unpaid or underrated bro posals okay let me ask me start by asking this question any of you guys

real real real talk here did any of you guys at mid ice during the hockey game ask your girlfriend to marry you? No, that wouldn't be ridiculous. Anybody? Ridiculous. Okay. The broposal is just that we're in front of, depending on which stadium you're at. It could be 105. If you're, you know, over there with, with Chris, you're in front of

105,000 people of your closest friends and you get down on one knee and ask your girlfriend to marry you. Like bro, well I'm a big football fan. Yeah, well she's probably not. And even if she is, I can't imagine that little girl when she was six, when she was thinking about one day being married to her Prince Charming, thought, you know, maybe one day he'll ask me in the most public way ever. And then what am I supposed to do?

Say no. So you've trapped this poor girl in front of a hundred thousand people or in front of the drunk guys at the, you know, the D one hockey team that's down at the local ice rink, you know, for what? So. Fellas, let it just be the two of you or let it be some small, you know, I've heard of guy that'll have the, the ladies, a classroom, ask him, you know, Hey kids, help me do this thing.

You know, help play it out. These different roles. That's sweet. That's part of her life in a, but to ask her in front of the giant stadium come on dude come on give her the chance to say no it's looking bad right yeah yep yeah so okay oh so bro-posal that's what a proposal is yeah that is that is completely unpaid now what are your stories how'd you propose your girlfriend? Uh, she proposed to me.

And then you guys ran to the courthouse, right? No, God, no. I said, no. I said, uh, we were at a Halloween party. She said, I think I should marry you. And I was like, no, you're drunk. Go away. And she held that on me for years, for years. Good for her. Yep. As she should. And yeah, I don't disagree. And then eventually I said, after dealing with my dad

and my uncle dying and how hard it was to deal with all the insurance, I was like, I mean, for me personally, I don't care about the government or anything getting involved in my love life. But seeing how hard it was for me to be the last living person in my family to still make the claims of I have to bury these people, I have to do this, I have to do that. I was like fuck let's let's sorry let's do it we'll just do it that way if something happens to me there's no arguments there's no recourse the government can't fight you on but yeah

she was actually the one that proposed to me and she'll never let me live that down we have a fun game we like to play. Yep. What you got Keith? Uh, we were she was in Stephanie was in East Lansing, Michigan on a college internship before her senior year of college. Or maybe she had one semester left, I think actually either way. So we were both 21. And I went out and spent the weekend with her. And I just, you know, I always knew it was, in my heart I knew it was the time to do it and might not have been, I wasn't overly prepared

or anything, so it was just kind of pop the question as we were like just having a weekend together and didn't have a ring in the moment. So I remember I tied up, it was just so corny, I tied a paper towel around her finger into a bow and then we went and bought a ring like an hour later and it was literally like the last couple hundred dollars I had in my savings account was I

was literally like poor I was living check to check and like you know my soul of my parents I didn't know I was too stupid and young to know that I probably should have waited a little longer and been a little more stable myself but I was you know it was like literally a child in love so you know but that's just never made and you know, geez night 18. I don't know whatever since it's 2006 2008 2008 so Whatever that is. I don't know. We got together in 2006. We got engaged 2007. We got married in 2009 or 2008 So yeah, whatever long ago that was and very happy. But yeah, I wouldn't necessarily do it in public

I think my one of my siblings did propose in public but I think it was more of a they already knew they were gonna get married kind of thing and it was like It wasn't like a surprise at that point. It was just more of a, we're both diehard fans of this college football team. And like, it'll be a cool memory for us to kind of like, I think she, she was probably partially in on it anyway, more so than it being a complete shock. But yeah, when you see the videos of people getting the, uh, the shock proposals and like, how many times do you think they're like, when the girl like does like the, the, the, does like the definitely a negative it's like I see it have the shit you see on Instagram

is fake anyway but like there's definitely some of the videos we've seen are legitimately girls or women in like super awkward positions where they're like are you gaslighting me do I have to say yes like no I'm gonna say no because we've been together for three months and this is freaking awkward no thank you but yeah definitely not wouldn, wouldn't be on my bingo cards to propose that way. I had a trail of those little tea light candles leading from the front door to the bedroom of the apartment complex where I lived at the time. So the tea light trail led to the room

and then it was a tea light heart of these little know little candles and there was the rose petals around and the little box in the middle of the heart and I opened the box and she was crying and I'm crying and She says are you gonna ask me something And I'm thinking like oh what is all this I'm gonna ask you so I mean, mean, what do you think all this was? Hey, you wanna go to Chili's? You don't know. So, I started it and she had to prod me along

to the finish line, so. Now, as Big Jen would say, I would have pegged you as a guy that would have probably put the ring in a snowball and threw it at her or maybe attached it to the boomerang and threw it at her and saw what happened. Good stuff. through it at her or maybe attach it to the boomerang and threw it at her and you know saw what happened good stuff last one unpaid or underrated food talk is big here on unpaid underrated why do you hate Muffaletta and what is that I

don't know what that is I guess what I want to hear I want to hear the description of Muffaletta is this like muffin topic. I don't know what the hell I love a Muffaletta Oh, yeah. No, I love a Muffaletta. Okay Yeah Muffaletta is Some you know some sort of bread. It's a sandwich So you've got your bread and you've got your your ham I think is the predominant meat in the Muffuletta a good salt cured ham with some Swiss cheese

and then on the top is a What's it called the olive olives and onion and it's pickled. What's it called? It's essentially a relish Yeah, yeah, it's a relish made of different materials Yeah, I can't why I can't think of what's called. There's a place here in Memphis that makes a fantastic mufflet It's a little Italian pizza place, but they great mufflet Jardin air Jardin air so what it's called Jardin air the stuff that you put on top anyway

I heard as a ham sandwich is all I can picture. It's fantastic now. There's you're not painting a picture for me that I understand It's fantastic now. They're so you're not painting a picture for me that I understand They're supposed to be a famous one in Louisiana and we were down there not too long in New Orleans We're down there not too long ago in October of last year Their bread is a lot spongier. I didn't like it quite as well as the one here here in Memphis, but yeah, it's a great oily ham Sandwiches fantastic. Okay, I've let it Well, hopefully I wanted my box, you know, my last box and I'm really hoping that's what's in there.

Yeah. All right. Uh, Chris or carp, do you have anything you want to hit him with that you, uh, you know, sorry to put you on the spot, but if you have anything for him, hit him up with a, uh, unpaid or underrated for, uh, big Nate. Uh, I would say unpaid or underrated for Big Nate? I would say unpaid or underrated pants belts. Pants belts, especially dress pants belts from an East Tennessee Leveeir

are the most fantastic belts on the planet. Completely underrated. Everyone should have three. You own one of those? Hand burnished or no? Oh, hand burnished by the arthritic hands of a grandmother. Well, carp just stole mine. Oh no.

We'll take it. Well, we'll get big Chris credit for that one then don't buy Chris's belts No, don't buy Chris's dress belts We all know Chris hates making dress belts, but do you actually own one of his dress belts or is this I do? Okay. Well, why didn't oh, yeah what we posted he made me make it last three hours about okay. Okay I mean, so I I rescind like 12% of my critique towards you for not owning a

unpaid belt fed belt because technically you own a belt fed belt it's just one you wear on your pants not on your waist or your belly button. I've got a dress belt that he made me make myself I've got a blue jeans belt work belt that he made me make myself and I have straps for lifting straps that he made me make myself. Well that makes it like significantly better that you actually support your friends. Code unpaid. Good deal. Or don't use code unpaid because Chris has got bills to pay too. So really, you know, if they're the real friends

you make along the way or when you don't use your discount codes on your friends, you know, companies. It's all about family. All right. And putting them to work. about family all right all right last box am i up this is the box marked or where do you want to go so the last one um i figured out it's a company called goodies made by the wonka company up here like there that's the umbrella they come in so yeah nice good I had to give the candies I had to give

the box to bargain because I was like I'm gonna keep eating these can you take these away please so what's the next one the unique box the last box all right Keith's Keith's has a story I'm opening it up all right Keith is opening his my daughter for Christmas this year got a scented candle that scented candle was pepperoni pizza it was horrible and so they gave me the idea that gave me the idea Keith needs a candle that is chicken parm flavored smell stop guess what you can't find chicken parm candle so so here's the train of thought I can't find chicken parm flavored smell stop guess what you can't find chicken parm candle so so here's the train of thought I can't find chicken parm candle

perhaps I can find cat urine scented candle oh no oh awesome couldn't couldn't find that either now you could find the candle you could find the candle that when it melted it left a cat skeleton and I didn't think that that would be real nice no he'd like that at all I didn't think he would like this I didn't go but then I found some cat themed socks Joey has his fun socks now kid Keith has his fun socks from crew Keith do you have them open enough to know what they say oh okay so they are everyone it's a lot of contention that big Keith likes is his daily driver socks No, okay, so

You know it's a black socks and have white sticky riding on the bottom. So you don't lose your grip. I want right now As the cat is on my lap. What do they say? It says one specific one says I can't get up right now And the other one says the cat is on my lap. What do they say? It says one specific one says I can't get up right now And the other one says the cat is on my lap. I Dig it. It could also be double entendre but moving on I Thought it was gonna be a left and right themed sock because it did say right on one of them and I was like Oh, is this even like a deeper level? But then when I look and choose, oh, it doesn't say left on one of them and I was like oh is this even like a deeper level but then when I look and choose oh it doesn't say left on it anywhere so yeah but the right one could be on the right foot yeah I will probably honestly historically have to to wear that good deal thank you date for sure this summer I found out about something unique a little bit of uh

psychological warfare if you will Joey if you would would please introduce us to your gift and tell us why your wife hates me. Actually my kid also is very pissed about this. So you sent me the thing that she would not buy me for Christmas. You sent me an Aztec death whistle. What's a death Aztec death whistle. What's a death Aztec death whistle, you might ask? Geez, I wish I could explain it. It is the it's here. And this thing is terrifying.

It essentially is the sound of somebody dying. And I blow it all the time just to mess with the whole family. How would this have been used? I don't know. I know that the instructions that came with the box said, sneak up on your friends and stay away from them when you blow it because it's so loud. And I had actually put this on my Christmas list,

thinking, she's not going to buy this. And she said, no, I'm not gonna buy that because, uh, it essentially triggers the same, like brain waves as dying. So, so just imagine you are in the jungles wherever the Aztecs lived and, uh, you were fighting with a competing clan. I guess what you call I don't mean any offense but that's what army yeah someone is coming after you you you know that somebody is coming after you with some ruthless hand-to-hand combat or maybe some ritual sacrifice and night is falling you know war is at hand and you hear this blood-curling

scream of a female in your ears. Not one but hundreds and thousands of them just coming to attack you and the psychological part of the warfare that it would have on you is what my understanding of the Aztec whistle is. So I will do a bit of a blow Into the microphone. I don't know if zoom will allow it And it'll wait. I want to allow it But yeah, it's Yeah, zoom muted it now nothing yeah, okay

Yeah, so zoom you you can go just look up Aztec death whistle Yeah, so inclined and a YouTube will share it with you. It's terrifying and bad. Yeah combined with my scary masks My son is just like Every time I blow it he goes dad. You're making me feel like I'm dying And I was like, you buddy. Yeah, I love you, too but absolutely Dilf Dungeon, I mean, I'm enthrall with this thing. I keep blowing it all the time

I'm probably getting shit for you right now, but Yeah, great gift absolutely. Thank you That's that's the end of my gifts guys. Happy birthday crew. Thank you, sir. Appreciate that. Yeah. Happy birthday to you, I guess Yeah, happy birthday to you, I guess. So we're pushing two hours here. Do you have a game? I do. I put some time into it. You guys want to play?

Hell yeah. All right. We had big math earlier. Now we're having big map, big map. And this is, I don't know exactly what to call this. I don't know if we should call this facilitating support for certified facilities. Has sort of a terrible ring to it. Or supporting our supporting members. I don't know which one of those might be better than the other, but these are observations that I've made from the certified training facilities map that has been posted on the massonomics.com website. So if you're traveling somewhere out of town and you want to see if there's a certified

training facility nearby and they receive the crew members as guests, then go check it out at massanomics.com. Here are some observations. This one is for Keith. Keith, which of these gems are the farthest north according to the lines of latitude? So according to these, Joey, Keith, this is your question joey. I have first a trivia question for you What is the smallest? Farthest north most remote

coldest So the small smallest farthest north most remote coldest and newest capital city in canada Well, it's not a Cali. It is a Cali. Yeah, it is. It is a Cali. It Cali with Nunavut, everybody. So Big Macs has the shed in a Cali Nunavut. Big Kim has frozen strong out in Eagle River, Alaska. And that right carp. Big Matt, big Matt has home gym 2.0 electric boogaloo in Halton, Netherlands. So Keith, which of those is the farthest north big max, big Kim or big Matt. I need to look at it.

No, you don't really. No, no, no. I'm just trying to like play it out. And I'm trying to druthers my head here. Like, I know Alaska is the father's know Alaska But also that one in Canada is extremely north Oh, and then there's the Netherlands to where the heck is the Netherlands? I don't even know where the other side of the globe I don't even I literally don't even know what continent the Netherlands is and like I like no clue

It's gotta be Europe, so I don't other than that. I don't know It's gotta be the the northern Canadian one is big max's the shed in Nunavut, Antarctica almost isn't it? I don't know joey. Yeah, it's pretty close to anarnaca. Yeah, so there are no roads into illiquid Oh, wow, I say that right boat. I think I said right first. I callow it Callow it there are no roads in you have to fly in big fan of economics there right here Joey. Yep. What is the farthest south according to latitude?

Big Mason's bananas barbell club in Cape Coral, Florida Big Zach rock pile in Honolulu, Hawaii Big Mark's Bayou barbell in Fort Lauderdale, Florida or Big Nick's powerhouse lab in Kennedy, Texas in Fort Lauderdale, Florida or Big Nick's Powerhouse Lab in Kennedy, Texas, which is the farthest south. Big Mason, Big Zach, Big Mark or Big Nick. It's gotta be Texas. Gotta be Texas, except it's the nicest certified training facility to visit in Honolulu, Hawaii. Nice! Oh, okay.

The farthest south current CTF is in the rock pile. Go see Big Zach. Crew is welcome. So the first certified training facility across the pond is Big Bear Roms, shed of iron and heavy metal in Roldova, Denmark. And Big Adams shares the same line of latitude with him at Santa's workshop in Gillum, Manitoba. That is line 55 and 56. All of that was for the joke that I screwed up. All right, Joey. All right, Joey, let's play Whose Line Is It Anyway? Okay.

You share a line of longitude with some other gems. So whose line is it anyway? You share a line of longitude with some other gyms, so whose line is it anyway? Big Joey's has the Dilfe Dungeon in Hamilton, Ontario, and that is on the line of longitude 79.93 degrees. Big Travis, so what would be the next line down, or following the line of longitude that you're on who do we go to next we go to big Travis at the lift hard strength club in get this Keith I know this one I know this one Preston County Kingwood specifically West Virginia

nope was I wrong no you're right go ahead of the why can I the lift hard strength club right hard strength club on seven nine point seven three degrees nice and then that's like the main highway through oh how about that coincidence Then we have Big Seth. Anyone? Big Seth? Uh, not familiar. Big Seth is it the meat locker in Pinehurst, North Carolina? Whose line is it anyway? Joey? Yours? Big Travis's or Big Seth's?

It's the friends we make along the way. What's the question here? Is it big? the question you share you share the same line of logic That's all that's pretty cool. Just you just share it You know that is like I wouldn't have like pegged him for well Yeah, big jet so if you leave your house Joey North Carolina And we're Joey and I just drive south if you leave your house And you fly on the wings of a Canadian goose straight down the longitudinal line, you're going to hit those two gyms.

All right. I guess that makes it. Yeah. Because New York must be a lot further. Whichever one is the most silly. Yeah. And New York is the biggest state. What up?

It's not funny anymore. Says you. Except his segment is going to be like everything about how big New York is and pick on me. All right. Here's the good news This is the last one Either way if you get into your way back machine circa 1959 the American flag has the American flag has only 48 stars and the center of the US was in anyone

Center of the contiguous us. Did I say that word right? Anyway, the center? Kansas. So the center of the 48, the lower 48, is Kansas, specifically Lebanon, Kansas, a mere 200 miles away from Big Matt's International House of Power in Topeka, Kansas. Now, after 1959 of January, when America conquered Alaska and Hawaii or how are you, whatever we did, bought, stole, who wants Alaska anyway? Eh, I do. Rich, just rich with oil. Anyway, the Geographic Center of America moved because you added those two far away states.

Where did it move to riveting big map talk? Where did it move to? It'd be at least two or three states over. So whatever two states over from that is, I don't know. Over and up. I, Iowa Midwest. Correct. Carp.

It moved to Western Southwest, South Dakota, specifically bell foosh, South Dakota. I was a good guest, which is only a short, less than one hour trip away from big Chris at Chris's gym LLC doing business as The Bar in Rapid City, South Dakota. Big shout out to Rapid City, South Dakota and just BT Dubs. I mean I know Tanner calls it the way he calls it, the way we told him to put it in and and we're not big grammar as well as big math and big math but on the website Chris's which is you know showing ownership of Chris it's Chris apostrophe s personal which it should just be Chris apostrophe but what do I know I

was taught English in Alabama so yeah yeah that good old plural possesses but in this Yeah, yeah that good old plural possesses but in this big map, of course is not big English All right. That was my game nice As we pick on Tanner one more time real quick I was I saw a a Texas power bar Infomercial essentially like a targeted ad and it was a the guy was like a gym owner that had a bunch of Texas power bars And he said Sarah like three times and every time he said it He said Sarah coat properly and I wanted to clip it he said it, he said, Sarah, go properly. And I wanted to clip it and send it to Tanner just to be like,

say it this way. Damn it. So what other podcasts do you guys consume that's not fitness, fitness, really related or political or religious? I do some Cleveland Brown stuff I do I guess home gym stuff is kind of part of the fitness world generally count I do a lot of like big TV shows that are like super in-depth that have like

really intense episodes they'll do like breakdowns of that episode and with I wouldn't ever listen to that unless I had hours and hours of ability to drive and just sit there and do nothing so like Gilmore Girls or what are we talking about like silo and severance and Game of Thrones like stuff that's like huge massive worlds and it's like gotcha like I will just listen to people like basically break down the episode and explain stuff. I probably listen to that too much. There's a couple of ones where they will review 80s movies and give you their feedback on it. It's actually really funny. The one I think I might have talked

about before is Shat the Movies. They'll talk about a movie for an hour and then they'll rate it at the end. The rating is a 0 to a 5 scale with how many times you have to wipe your ass to get the shit off of it. And if you have to wipe it five times, it's the worst movie ever. If you have to wipe it zero times, it's the best movie ever. So then it's just a really funny rating scale of wiping poop off of your butt

of how good or bad the movie was. So just, I should probably listen to more stuff that's actually educational or something, but I don't care. Whatever, like I go- That sounds pretty educational to me. I don't. Whatever. Like I go. Sounds pretty educational. I don't really. Yeah. I mean, I like, I like what I like and it's like TV and movies and

lifting and home gym stuff. So like those are the podcasts that I listened to in depth. Joey. I don't. I literally listen to massonomics and sometimes unpaid, underrated, maybe Norse fitness. And sometimes unpaid and underrated, maybe Norse fitness. Um, if I had to, there's like 99% invisible.

Um, everything is alive. Um, which are actually, I think the same people, uh, and they're just like educational shit. So, uh, but I don't listen to podcasts outside of mass and homics right now. I need to get through the backlog so I can get my jacket in March two times speed Yep, 1.5 right now. I know carpsters out of windshield a lot. Is he still around? I

Don't know. I was gonna have him do the reds to bring us out. But let's see if he's uh What are the? mostly just Like fitness type stuff or review I do like kind of a pack of me show. It's always live now The one that's not on TV because it has all the menace the other stuff in it, you know And then like I like it catch a lot of two bears one cave with Tom Segura. So like that I think it's pretty funny. He has my eyes though. See if you got power through the ads Does anyone do the the rich eyes and show like I don't watch that but like he I catch a lot of his stuff

on my social media where it's like a 90-second clip of like an interview he did and like I would like watch a lot of that and then I went to go like I went and looked at the podcast to see if it was like a lot of people but it seemed like it was mostly Him talking sports and occasionally it was a guest. So like, I wouldn't want to like necessarily subscribe to that, but there's definitely like, like I'm taking the very small sample size that I've seen, like I will pretty much watch anytime a rich eyes in like, uh, interview clip shows up in my feed somewhere.

Cause it's almost always someone like that I recognize and it's like a, it a unique story. Chris. I listened to a lot of Lex Friedman. Um, it, it can get kind of boring, but you know, I'm stuck here tapping on dead animal skin all day long. So I got to have something in the background that and the Duncan Trussell family hour.

Who's that? Duncan Trussell family hour. He's a comedian. He's from Asheville. So he's close to here, but he's, uh, uh, if, if you've ever been to Asheville, North Carolina, you know, it's a certain type of folks that live there. Um, and it ain't the regular mountain folk we're used to around here. And he's, uh, he's definitely, uh, the epitome of Asheville.

It's, it's some pretty hilarious stuff. Um, our, our company, one of our company employees was at our office today. This is office is not our office. He's from Ashland and he had a sticker on his, and this is just to give you an idea for what Chris is talking about. He has a sticker on his laptop that says, build back weirder. Yep. Yep.

So I'm not making a, I'm not making a judgment on, on the, my fellow employee, but that just to give you an idea. the I was walking down the sidewalk with Randy and it wasn't, you know, it wasn't crazy late at night, probably like nine 30. So you wouldn't expect the, uh, the level of weirdness to have been ratcheted up to the level that it was in many places, but no, at nine o'clock at night on a Saturday in Nashville, Asheville, um, there's a guy, this is like 2000, probably two, there's a guy standing in a dress leaned half up on one hip against the back of a car just Urinating into his dress. That's acting as a funnel Going down into the gutter and another gentleman

Hysterically laughing while eating a sandwich watching him do it It's a about four four or five steps down the road. Another woman comes, another person comes walking along with a sandwich board sign that says, celebrate your womb. And, uh, that was just the first in a cavalcade of weirdness. So that's, Ash feels pretty, pretty weird. Now, did you get confirmation of the sandwich was a Muffalata Muff letter it was it was pretty large and as far as I know letters are usually large sandwiches that so there's a good chance it could have been nice have a relish on there good stuff if you are look if you are looking for a podcast, I have, I cannot recommend enough a podcast

named an army of normal folks, an army of normal folks. It is a guy here in Memphis. He's in, uh, he's in North Memphis. He has a lumber company when he was also the coach for an inner city football team that went undefeated. And, um, the thing, the thing that he says is if you're going over, you know, if you're driving over a part of town or you're driving by a part of town that you hope you wouldn't get a flat tire in and you look over and you

think somebody ought to do something here. He said you need to reach up and grab that rearview mirror and turn it about five degrees towards you and look yourself in the mirror and say I ought to do something here. And he interviews people who have just found something, found a need in town. One of them that comes to mind is he there's a most of them a lot of them are 501c3s or those types of Most of them, a lot of them are 501c3s or those types of charities. A guy found out from his school that one of the kids at the school was sleeping on a pile of clean clothes. They would sleep on the clothes, wear the clothes, get the clothes washed, sleep on

the clothes again. And he said, there's not going to be a kid in my town that doesn't sleep in a bed. And so he made a bed for this kid and he said, you know, it wasn't that hard. You just go down and get a couple of supplies to the hardware store and you build a, you build a bed for a kid, but that kid had never slept on a bed before. And he said it was, he said, and how does, how well does a good night's sleep transfer to that kid the next day on how much they can learn, how much they can care for somebody else because they just slept in a

bed and that charity is called In Heavenly Peace. And it's just week after week, story after story of people who just said, the old veteran next door that can't walk outside anymore and mow his grass, I can go mow his grass. And then that leads to him mowing grasses and not in that town, but every town across the state, you know, one state over and over again, he'd done all these things. It's just, it's feel good. Like it makes you feel good.

Me, it makes me cry quite often. And then to me also, and it doesn't have to do this for anybody else But like you you're like I could give I could give $15 to that I could give ten bucks to this so you know I could give $25 to that I could go drop off this Half gallon of bar oil to that dude's house so he can make his beard look luscious You know all these things that you can that we can do just small little things that any of us can do.

If we'll just open our eyes and look around and see how we can make just the smallest little change. And he says that he doesn't think or he knows that fancy people in fancy places saying fancy things about the troubles in our countries aren't gonna fix anything it's gonna be an army of normal folks that band together and do just a little thing for the person next door to me that's gonna make the biggest difference in in this country so army of normal folks can't recommend it enough there you go deal sounds like my kind of dude, yep.
