Starting point is 00:00:00 Howdy, howdy, Big Keith here just giving you guys a little quick update before the your episode starts Joey and Nate and I were tasked with picking a runner-up for the unpaid runner the the Masanomics drink spotter contest for the red the coveted red drink spotter so the sister host already picked their winners a couple days ago so you know you guys should already know who won that and uh like I said Joey Nate and I were tasked with the privilege to go through all the, uh, people that didn't get a prize from the sister podcast and, uh, pick our favorite one. Uh, you know, we all put our heads together and we conferred, uh, we had a lot
Starting point is 00:00:34 of back and forth, uh, but at the end of the day, uh, there was pretty much fair continuity. Uh, we all had a, a number one in our hearts and, hearts and we're going to go ahead and give the, uh, the last spot to big Megan, the quarter horse Johnson. Uh, her, her video with using the drink spotter and Mastinomics gym to hold her cane was priceless. I think it was one of the first ones I saw.
Starting point is 00:00:58 I laughed my ass off hysterically and kind of knew in my heart from day one that like very few were going to top that. at the end of the day my top three two of them won other prizes from massonomics and you know the third one my the third one on my list was uh big megan so uh you know that is our uh submission there tanner for uh the the fourth uh you know spot in the uh winter circle and as far as a prize suggestion for her there might not necessarily be a prize for her, but I think it would be hysterical to get some kind of visually impaired work ahead, some kind of sign for the gym that's kind of in her honor for being visually impaired
Starting point is 00:01:37 and still working out, or the blind girl can do it, why can't you, something to that extent, I think it'd be great, but that's more of a Jim present for tanner than a present for her. So uh, Whatever whatever you think she deserves tanner, but that is who we picked and uh now we're gonna hand it over and uh, Let your mystery podcast begin All right, welcome back to episode 95 of the unpaid and under a podcast, a podcast by crew or crew. So we're taking over today. I'm big Jen and with me, I have big Ryan. You're not saying anything, right? Big. And big spicy pizza, big Daniel.
Starting point is 00:02:35 I am suited and nervous. Why are you nervous? I don't know. Just pre podcast. You know, I mean, I have them, too, I have them too, so I'll give it to you. All right, we're taking this rough and ready crew, taking us on a different journey than we're used to. We're going to collaborate on some things. So just to set it up, we are going to do an episode that really is focused on comments
Starting point is 00:03:08 and ratings. So we're very familiar with the Mastinomics podcast and Unpaid and Underrated about comments that are making fun of us, ratings that are horrible, ratings that are great. You know, we hear them every week, whether it's about water, whatever it is. So we're going to run through some topics that are crew and masonomics adjacent. And we're just going to hear what the people have to say. So these are some of the some of those things are very controversial. We'll run through it and we'll see how it goes. So first off, is anybody drinking anything today
Starting point is 00:03:46 that you wanna talk about? I got a blood orange margarita THC cocktail from Giggly. It is from my second job where I sell CBD and I am gonna go with the flow tonight. All right, that sounds good. Sounds good. What about you, Hannah? I have Nectar of the Gods themselves, the white monster. Oh, damn.
Starting point is 00:04:12 I love it. Mopho, what do you have? I got a Gary Starburst sparkling ice. Ooh, nice. Ryan? I got the rest of my Dr. Pepper strawberries and cream. And as a backup, I've got the high V pample mousse grapefruit. Oh, hi.
Starting point is 00:04:32 He has a brand. Oh, yeah. Shout out. Try that. HIV. I'm sticking to plain old H2O. Can't can't do the sparkling hotters. No you can't do the sparkling waters. Nope, can't do it.
Starting point is 00:04:47 All right, so speaking of sparkling waters, we're gonna kick this off with one of the oldest, oldest massonomics bits is pulling out a LaCroix from the oven, a piping hot LaCroix. So we're going to run through some, I pulled together some comments and reviews of La Croix, but I took it one step further and picked essentially the most polarizing flavor that La Croix has, and that is the limoncello. I know that we are split about 50-50 in the discord that people love it, and some people hate it. So we want to hear what, what does the world have to say
Starting point is 00:05:34 about Lurquoise limoncello? Just, okay, so set it up a little bit, Lurquoise. What I pulled from, we have over 22,000 reviews, and Lurquoise has 4.6 out of 5 stars. So we're going to kick it off with those people that absolutely love Limoncello. So let's hear what they have to say. Alright Princess Petite, she's rating it 5 stars and the title is So about L'Oroy. Lemon cello is probably the best flavor. I've been avoiding sugary drinks and artificial sweeteners, parentheses, which started to cause me itching and rashes. So I'm not quite sure.
Starting point is 00:06:19 That's a problem right there. I'm sure it was the artificial sweeteners that was causing the itching. Yeah, it had to be, right. She has no other problems. How is she using it? Does it rank or is it a booty bump? Exactly. All right. So she said, so I've been trying many different fruit essence. I don't know why she quotes everything in parentheses, everything, but it just makes me laugh. Water brands of the Lurkoi Sparkling Water flavors. Here is her take on the order. Rated by taste. Limoncello number one. Coconut number two. She says it tastes like coconut water if you like that. Mango, peach pear, watermelon, and pample mousse.
Starting point is 00:07:05 So out of those, I know for sure you guys do not like the coconut and you do not like the limoncello. So I don't know if we can trust Princess Petite. It's first three are pretty sus. I've had mango. Am I the only one here that likes the limoncello one? I just go on a limb. I don't, I don't have it. It has its moments.
Starting point is 00:07:28 I thought it was good. I don't place anything when I drink any of those. So. Yeah. I'm missing. I'm too used to my diet doctor or diet do. So, and it's like, there's nothing I'm drinking, drinking nothing I might as well drink water and I have hearing loss so I don't hear the person all right okay thank you princess petite um all right Dave Dave seems to me like he's a fancy guy because his review has emojis and fun things and Dave has given it five stars and his title is Bubbly Bliss with a Hint of Italy. He has a little lemon emoji and some sparklies with his emoji.
Starting point is 00:08:18 Here we go. Lacroix Sparkling Water Lemon Cello flavor is my new go-to drink. This stuff is a game changer in the sparkling water limoncello flavor is my new go-to drink. This stuff is a game changer in the sparkling water world. If you're like me and love a good fizzy drink but want to keep it healthy, this is it. The limoncello flavor is a delightful twist. It's like a splash of Italian summer in every sip. And by the way, this is really long. But you obviously can tell like this that Dave has gone to Italy and really wanted to make sure everybody to he's gone to Italy and has had the limoncello. Dave clearly works for La Croix and he pitched the limoncello flavor ideas.
Starting point is 00:09:00 So proud of it. The more reviews he gets, the better his bonus is. Yeah. I've been to Italy like Dave. And I think if Italian people actually add limoncello, they'd spit at her feet. I'd wager that Dave references Italy in every review he writes on everything. Probably right. Oh my gosh. Let me tell you about the Firestone tires that I just bought. They are not like the Pirelli's over in Italy where I spent the summer. All right. Okay. Compared to other sparkling waters out there, La Coy Limoncello stands
Starting point is 00:09:42 out. It's not just lemony. It's got this smooth creamy undertone that makes it feel like a treat. Most other brands I've tried are either too bland or way too sour. This one hits the perfect balance, refreshing without being overpowering. Also I love LaCroix, zero calories, zero sweeteners and zero sodium. Some other brands need an artificial flavors and sugars, but not Lurkoy, it's guilt free and perfect for staying hydrated through the day. So if you're looking for something to jazz up
Starting point is 00:10:16 your hydration routine, give Lurkoy Lemon Chelo a try. Trust me, you'll be hooked up in the first step. Here's to bubbly goodness. I can tell Dave is like that person that when you get into the office, right first thing in the morning, you're just like, oh my God, fuck off, Dave. I don't wanna talk to you right now.
Starting point is 00:10:32 When you get into the LaCroix office, because Dave definitely works for LaCroix. He's the guy that starts off a morning lecture going, good morning, you can do better than that. Good morning. Oh my God. For sure, yes. lecture going, good morning, you can do better than that. Good morning. It's just it's not the lectures that do that. That is very common in the military.
Starting point is 00:10:55 It is. Yeah, we get the happy Tuesday. Happy Wednesday. Happy Thursday. I'm like, if I have to hear that one more day is fucking happy, like I can't even handle it. Just stop, please. No happy help day. No, no, there is no that's that's too perverse. We get a chain of gifts in the work group chat every week for hump day.
Starting point is 00:11:22 And it's just as funny every time. It's hilarious. All right, a couple more good ones here. So Lynx gives it five stars. The title is I recommend has a light lemon cream flavor. I recommend nice flavor and refreshing. Can't go wrong with this. Le Croix lemon space cello, seltzer waters. So like a fruit flavored instrument is what he recommends though. That's great links. Are we sure that he recommends it?
Starting point is 00:11:55 We're not quite sure. And Cheryl. Oh Cheryl. she's my favorite here. So Cheryl gives it five stars. My favorite flavor. This is my favorite LaCroix flavor. It is refreshing just as is or mixed with cranberry and vodka for a delightful cocktail with a lemony twist. It also tastes delicious with a bit of lemon shell-o, the actual lemon shell-o. And she signs off. Cheryl. Aw, thanks Cheryl. the actual limoncello and she signs off, Cheryl. Oh, thanks Cheryl. I love it. All right, okay. Now let's hear from the people that just maybe
Starting point is 00:12:34 don't really think that limoncello is all that and a bag of chips. So we're gonna start out with Brent. Brent's not happy. He has given it one star. And I'm going to read it as is. The title is Damage and Missy. I think he meant missing, but we'll say we're going to read it. Damage and Missy. The package arrived. The box had clearly been damaged and packed back together. Two cans were missing from one box and filled in with packing
Starting point is 00:13:07 material. Evidence of a leak as well. Not worth the hassle of returning. Humans are literally the worst. Is that wrong there? Is this specifically a review on that flavor and he's like this fucking sucks because it came to me in a shitty box. That's what it feels like. Did you even take it? Because you gave us a limoncello flavor and didn't even tell us how the limoncello was. So weird. Yeah, those one star reviews are like that. I feel like he should be more mad at UPS or FedEx for shipping him a box like that. Why not just go to a store and actually pick it up instead of getting it shipped to you? Maybe, maybe Brent is shy and he doesn't like human interaction because humans are literally the worst. So obviously he doesn't want to go to the store. You know, my, uh, heavy grapefruit. Package fell apart in the parking lot and I lost two cans from that,
Starting point is 00:14:10 but that's all drank it. So you should write a review about it. Worst product ever. It tastes like standard pea gravel. You guys totally reminded me of one time I was walking into Hy-Vee which is our local grocery store, local to Mid-West I should say. This guy was walking out with a six pack of beer. He was like a glass bottles and it was the cardboard container.
Starting point is 00:14:41 He took one step out of the store and all six bottles fall through. I don't know. Container and his face of dejection was just like, like, uh, all six of them broke. He's like, what are you going to do? I literally happened to be at target, but I was in the store and I was carrying them out. They dropped and I just stood there and looked defeated. And then when the clerks came up to me and they're like, are you okay? I was like, no, I need something to clean this up.
Starting point is 00:15:18 They're like, no, we'll clean it up. Go grab another case. I was like, awesome. So I like, like cradled it the whole way down. That's so that's just so heartbreaking, especially when you just all you want is a nice cool drink. They're just gone. All right. Okay, moving on. One star tastes like bad cake. This tastes horrible. I mistakenly thought this was a sparkling water with a dash of lemon juice. In reality, it is a lemon cake without sugar tasting sparkling water. By far the worst taste of any such product I have tried. They did not like it.
Starting point is 00:15:58 Um, all right. Renee has one star. No flavor, no sugar, no sweetness. I am sorry. I don't first of all, I love when people say they're sorry, like they're actually apologizing to LaCroix as a business. I'm sorry, but I didn't like this taste at all. It tastes like club soda with a small dash of lemon, which, okay, I'm sorry, but I feel like that's what all sparkling water is. Like it is a club soda with a dash of something. So I don't get it. But she says, and I mean, it was not what I expected. If you're looking for carbonated soda with no flavor,
Starting point is 00:16:36 no sugar, no sweet, that's a fall at all. You'll love this. Why are they mad about no sugar? Isn't it advertised as a zero sugar beverage? So, Sibene missed the marketing memo. Yeah, maybe she can't read. She needs her sugar. That's why it is. I think so.
Starting point is 00:16:56 Congratulations, you got exactly what you bought. Yeah, thank you. All right, Meg. Actually, okay, actually I don't know if that's supposed to be meh or Meg because it's in the HG. I think it's supposed to be meh, we'll say. You missed the mark. This flavor, limoncello, is a little bit of lemon mixed with vanilla. Very off-putting for me. Taste is relative.
Starting point is 00:17:22 So you may find it yeelish. My kiddo. Oh my god, can we just go on a tangent for a second? Like I absolutely hate when people say kiddo or kiddos like don't do that. It's stupid. Okay, kiddo. Okay, you're gonna my dog when you do that. Okay, well, you can call me kiddo as as ironically but when people are saying like, Oh, look at my kiddos and I like I want to vomit right now. Okay, my kiddo said it tastes better once you keep drinking it. I guess anything could be okay if you force yourself to keep consuming it.
Starting point is 00:18:02 For me I will not purchase again. That just seems like she's put this fear of God into their kid that if you didn't like something, it doesn't matter. You can have it. You have to finish it. You have to finish it. Bad mom.
Starting point is 00:18:17 That's right, the flavor comes to build up. Not so bad when you got 20 of them. The flavor builds up the faster you drink it. So yeah, maybe, maybe. That poor kiddo. I'm so sad for him. All right. All right.
Starting point is 00:18:36 Avoid lemon cello. Again, another lemon space musical instrument. Well, the lemon fellow does not taste good.. Too bad I cannot return it. Pause. I drank one. What? Oh my God. Okay. Just a couple more here. So lemon cello tastes like diet cream. Boo. That's the title. Lemon chiller tastes like diet cream. Cider. I think they meant soda, but almost cider. Disappointing. No lemon taste at all. Don't bother. Do I dare ask what diet cream is? You don't want to know.
Starting point is 00:19:21 I don't think I do. You don't want to. Oh my god. Thank you, Suzanne. All right. So Joe, Joe is pretty funny. This is a girl, Joe, I think. So, all right. Um, last one on the limoncello. An Abomination Unto the Lord is the title of this one. Want to know what lemon flavored marshmallow piece tastes like? I didn't, but I found out. It's
Starting point is 00:19:51 hard to say that this is the worst look variety because I haven't tried them all. But if you enjoy actual limoncello, do not buy the soft drink. Even if you've never had actual limoncello, do not buy the soft drink. even if you've never had actual lemon fellow, do not soft drink in a straight up terrible. I like it. I think some of the crew would totally agree with, uh, with Joe. For sure. Did they say it's just like a lemon peep?
Starting point is 00:20:15 Uh, a lemon flavored marshmallow peep. I actually like that. That what? No, to eat it. What? No. To be fair, I thought you were going to say lemon flavored piss. That's what I thought. That's what I thought it was at first. It's not piss.
Starting point is 00:20:36 It's not piss. It's protocol. It's protocol. Alright, and then I had one that actually was for Pamplemousse and the only reason I grabbed it is because it just made me chuckle. There's there's one line in it that says. They actually mean there, but they wrote they cans have never leaked. They are made, but sturdy aluminum.
Starting point is 00:20:59 And it just, I'm like, obviously aluminum matters. So I'm wondering if it was like airplane grade aluminum, just like our drink spotter. Yeah. Love it. It's what you want when you drive for cans in the parking lot. So yeah. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:21:15 All right, so that's that wraps up Limoncello. I'm going to pass it over to Ryan for an ad read. All right. Do you have a cushy desk job? Do you have soft, me and cured hands? Do you hate the feel of calluses but still want to lift weights? Have you ever tried wearing gloves
Starting point is 00:21:36 with aggressive knurling and your Texas Powerbar just eats right through them? Well, you could try grinding off the knurling, but you don't have an expensive messy grinder. Or you could try a new product, Joey's Fingerless Specialty Lifting Gloves. These gloves are constructed of durable, ethically sourced, synthetic vegan leather, guaranteed to keep your hands soft and supple. Our gloves, other gloves have a breaking period,
Starting point is 00:21:58 but they're stiff and uncomfortable and could even pinch. Not with Joey's Fingerless Specialty Lifting Gloves. They're ready to go right out of the box. So don't grind your knurling, get better gloves. Joey's Fingerless Specialty Lifting Gloves is available soon at Mastinomics.com. Use code unpaid. Love it. Well done. I like, I like that they're they're vegan. Yes. Got vegan leather. It's all the rage. So soft. Okay. All right. Okay. So we finished up our sparkling water or quenched and now we need to go on a trip. Let's say, you know, something pops up around, I don't know, July 19th time frame, something like that. And we need to take a trip to Aberdeen, South Dakota in the great western northeast South Dakota plains. Let's, but we don't know, we don't know what it's like there. And we want to hear from the locals.
Starting point is 00:23:00 So let's, let's hear from the locals. and we're going to start off with those locals that that love it and then we'll get into the ones that might not love it so much. So on the site that I grabbed these reviews Aberdeen has an overall grade of a B plus so I mean that's not bad. There's still room for improvement but it's still pretty good compared to other other towns. So we'll go with that All right, we're gonna we're gonna kick it off here. Unfortunately this website For town reviews does not have names. We don't know who these people are which The local that's unfortunate. It would have been wonderful to see if I knew who these people were reviewing the town. I love it. Maybe Cheryl.
Starting point is 00:23:48 Exactly, they should have done it Cheryl and signed off. Okay, we are going to start off with those people that just love Aberdeen. Or maybe they don't, let's hear about it. Alright, so this first review, five stars. Aberdeen is a great community, but there are things that need to change tremendously. Public schools need to be better. Five stars. That sounds like the most not five star review. This place was absolutely terrible, but you know what? It's all right. It's just the public school systems.
Starting point is 00:24:31 All right, okay. You want to keep graduating with a fifth grade education? Go to Aberdeen. Five stars. Okay, five stars. I like Aberdeen because it is a small town community and you know lots of people. One of the only things I would like to see changed the activities to do in town. I read it just like they wrote it. Those poor people. But again, another five stars.
Starting point is 00:25:00 However, they're not five star quality. These seem like a three or a four in my book. I don't know. I don't know about you guys. There's Storybook Land, there's Brock the Rock. Yeah, Taco John's. Storybook Land. The Zoo. Bernard's.
Starting point is 00:25:18 I'm not sure who goes to a small town looking for an abundance of activities, but. Right, right. Okay, all right. This person, I'm gonna give them a benefit of that because I do think that they're a student and I don't believe that English is their first language, so it's a little bit harder to write,
Starting point is 00:25:40 but they have a good review. Five stars, I have only lived in Aberdeen for four months but I live here. I am a student at Northern State University and everyone is super nice. I had also explore and this place is small but beautiful and comfortable. Since I live in a dorm I see many diversity and Aberdeen has a lot. I mean I like that they have diversity that's good. On the campus and that's it. As soon as you step foot off that campus you know what to expect. They have a cocktail jar on it. That's pretty ethnic. They have a Roma, they have a Roma Roma Italian restaurant too. I mean, I mean, I think that would be right. Just like Anthony said, the Mexican culture is growing.
Starting point is 00:26:42 So there's some even if it's a small person so there's some. Even if it's a small percent, it's growing. Do they have taco trucks though? Ooh, I don't know. Small, vast, or resident, local. Wilson, those are home in abundance. Okay, oh, here's a good one. Okay, so Five Stars, Aberdeen, South Dakota is an amazing place to grow up and raise children.
Starting point is 00:27:06 It's home to so many different parks that are top of the line for different ages. Storybook Land is a featured great place for family outings of all sorts. Overall, close knit, well-rounded community. See? Look at them. They have things to do. Just spell perspective. Okay, this one. Five stars. Have seen police around are very friendly and respectful and always willing to talk. Cool. That's Bikayden's wife.
Starting point is 00:27:38 Yeah. I enjoy the city of Aberdeen. People are friendly and easy to get along with. Alright, just a couple more good ones here. I feel safe in this area. There is very low crime rate. Sometimes these are really hard to read when the punctuation and stuff is so bad. There is a very low crime rate. We see police driving around on average twice a day. We don't hear H E R E about many bad things happening. I think Aberdeen has the most police in the state. I swear we go back there for six hours and we run into nine police officers in one stretch of the road going from Walmart to
Starting point is 00:28:26 Grayson's parents. Oh good. Then you're going to have some good comments for some of us. Isn't there only that one road? Yeah, the road that goes through Aberdeen. Okay, last good one here. So Aberdeen, South Dakota is an amazing place to live if you're interested in having plenty of opportunities while living in a safe and welcoming community.
Starting point is 00:28:50 The neighborhood that I personally live in is full of young families with little children running around, which is such a beautify site. First of all, I don't like young, I'm going to sound like a most horrible person, but I also don't like young kids running around. I get out of my way. Yeah, I won. It just shows how the town is growing and how loving each of the families are to welcome new lives into the world.
Starting point is 00:29:19 I never have to worry about having to look over my shoulder when walking down the street. I don't know where she was before, but thank God she moved to Aberdeen. Or to be scared that anytime someone could go crazy and harm wives. Like, shit just got real. I think living in this town has such a high standard for where I would like to live in the future and I am not quite sure that I could for where I would like to live in the future. And I am not quite sure that I could possibly find a better place than I am at. Wow, where was she? You should respond back to that and figure out
Starting point is 00:29:54 where she was at before. Are you OK? All right, OK. So we gave Averdeen a chance. We heard about those folks that love Aberdeen. So let's hear some from some people that maybe don't think it's so fancy. All right. I grew up in Aberdeen and don't recommend it to anyone. Bars are about the only place to go and they are just drinking hole. The area lakes are dirty, golf courses are just boring, shopping is pretty much limited, and pain stores, restaurants are fast food or chain.
Starting point is 00:30:31 It is bitter cold in the winter, mosquitoes take over in the summer, which we all know from experience. I have gone back to visit several times and I am always happy to leave. I don't know how the average person can afford to live there because good jobs are very limited. One positive though, the only good thing I can say about the town is that it is really easy to ride your bike because it's completely flat. So okay, thank you for giving at least a teeny bit of optimist in your review. I love it. He's, um, whoever that was is not wrong.
Starting point is 00:31:13 No comments. That's about, uh, that's about what it is. Sometimes they have to shut the lakes down because they're manmade lakes. So it's just pretty much still water and they get disgusting in the summer when it's really hot. That even happens like in our area for like actual lakes that it gets kind of disgusting. So I can't even imagine a man-made lake. They're icky.
Starting point is 00:31:38 There's three man-made lakes around Aberdeen and they're all terrible. That's horrible. I'm just going to say we don't have that problem in Minnesota. Oh yeah? They got plantar weights up there. They got like a slogan about that or something? Yeah, I can't remember how many. It's probably a really huge number. I think it's like a hundred.
Starting point is 00:32:00 Yeah, something like that. It's not a single one of them is 10,000. Not even one of them is shitty like after she that's funny. All right. Okay. This person safe ish but boring. College is great. But what after job selection is awful unless you like fast food for $9 an hour.
Starting point is 00:32:23 My major is limited because of lacking opportunity. People are something here. I think their attitude is hasty because there is literally nothing to do as a long-term resident. Shopping sucks, overall town maintenance is awful. Met is huge these days, it's awful. Don't move here. There are other places with more opportunities
Starting point is 00:32:47 for your children and yourself somewhere else. By the way, these are all exclamation points. They are screaming. I have lived in several other places and travel out of Aberdeen at least twice a month. I can't wait to get out of here. They did not like it. And apparently all these cops aren't handling the meth problem. They show up after the houses explode. Oh, got it. They don't want to risk life and limb. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:33:15 There's only one thing to say about that review and say it louder for the people in the back. All right, okay. Weather is very bipolar. It can be warm one day and cold the next. Yep, it's the Midwest. The winters are very cold with a significant amount of snow and the summers are extremely humid and filled with mosquitoes. So we have season, apparently. Thank you reviewer for letting that's all the good season and mosquitoes. We all know. All right. Not a great town. Not a great town far as there. And I'm going to be this one verbatim and then we'll talk about it.
Starting point is 00:34:02 Okay. verbatim and then we'll talk about it. Okay. Not a great town far as their T H R E E R E employment. They don't want to hire people, but they have every job on Indeed, which makes no sense if you're not with an apostrophe, you're, you're not going to hire. Take it down. Okay. No punctuation. All the wrong words. I'm, I'm kind of concerned for this person and I feel bad that they can't get a job because they actually want a word, but unfortunately you didn't even make it through this one sentence without ever grammar and they need someone to proofread that resume that they're thrown up on.
Starting point is 00:34:42 Indeed. I think. That's not an Aberdeen. approve read that resume that they're thrown up on indeed I think. I believe that. A second opinion. That's not on Aberdeen. Oh. They might have the same issue elsewhere. Exactly. Poor, but they have a personal vendetta with Aberdeen, yes. Oh gosh, okay.
Starting point is 00:35:01 Okay, I was an army brat. I moved to Aberdeen in January of 1993. We first drove down Sixth Avenue. Is that the one? That's the road in Aberdeen. Yep. All right. Pick Sixth and that Main Street or something. Okay.
Starting point is 00:35:20 I thought I had been time warp to 1972. I don't know why that grants me. I'm the Mida was still open. And I don't know if you guys know what the Mida is, but it's like a like a knockoff version of if you've heard of Kmart or obviously a Walmart, it's just like, it's like the bargain version of that. But like two chairs below that. And it's funny, like they ended up a lot of them closing and there would be these ones in these random small towns.
Starting point is 00:35:51 That's funny. But they still have fun. Another, the lower tier than Kmart. There is, there's actually, um, it was called Pomida and one called Alco. I don't know, Ryan, if you heard of either of those in Iowa. I think I've heard of Pomida. I don't know Ryan, if you heard of either of those in Iowa. I think I've heard of Pomida. I don't know if I've ever been to one. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:09 You're from the big city though. I'm from the big city. Big city boy. All right. So this guy keeps saying I had a full ride scholarship to DU gifted school. Was I was seven. I think he means when I was seven, but I wasn't smart enough for Aberdeen gifted. Like, come on. Obviously. I won more things than everyone
Starting point is 00:36:35 in my high school class. We were an open income family, small town, didn't have money like the old town masters, but more to steal than the low paid workers. No low wages, corrupt cops, lots of expensive drugs. Back then it was cheap and relatively safe, only excuse to live there by now with increased housing costs terrible. That person, oh my goodness. the the the the
Starting point is 00:37:21 the Because they can't get jobs. That's true. That's so true. Okay, just a couple more. Let's round it out with a couple of good ones. All right. This town is evil and ever since people are paranoid, unfriendly, cold and avoidant, and do not like getting to know anyone new. So if you move there, you'll be rejected because you're not one of them. Most drivers are on drugs and make roads unsafe. They drive the wrong way down one way street. I just like, I don't know. The schools and the schools and university are also
Starting point is 00:38:00 full of evil beings and our point. I think that's me because that person from above that gave it a good review. They seem full of evil beings and are poorly managed. Businesses in Aberdeen are old, gloomy, and haunted. I mean, that is pretty accurate, potentially. Some people are nice, but I'm going to give them that. There's nothing to look forward to every day except cloudy, depressing weather, freezing to death and shuffling. Oh, that person. I want to hear what the his definition of evil is.
Starting point is 00:38:38 What are they doing? Where is he going? I wish I could. I wish we could like have conversations with some of these people. Like, what were you thinking? Were you mad? Like, were you having a bad day? Love it.
Starting point is 00:38:53 I'll give them the buildings are probably haunted, but every, every business filled with evil beings. I would like some extra information about that. There are some very nice five stars. There are, there are, I don't like it. They're generalizing. All right, last one. And I'm going to read over made them again, or want I see for other reviews.
Starting point is 00:39:18 I don't think people tell the real truth here. I think they mean for what from what what? Maybe I don't know. This entire state, including North Dakota. Oh, no. Specifically, the East Side for most, for the most part is probably the worst area to live in the United States. I lived in other areas in the country when I was younger and came here for school and stayed when I meet my wife and regret it, regret it every bit of it. From the college here to the business, to the people and culture, it is just horrible. Especially his poor wife. Oh my gosh. Especially the weather is a nightmare. Soon. My wife and I can retire and leave this mid West crap hole. Like, okay.
Starting point is 00:40:11 Yeah. He seems like a gym. I don't think he's going to be missed. I don't either. If you hate that much, what's keeping you there? Exactly. Like why not leave? Send him to Alabama. Or West Virginia. They're back.
Starting point is 00:40:35 All right, OK. Maybe the ghosts are keeping him there. As our resident local and those that have been there, which is all of us, I mean, some of the stuff is pretty damn accurate. I like it. I think some of the people, maybe that were giving it really good reviews, obviously, don't have interactions with some of the other things that were said in the bad reviews. So I guess the place is what it is regardless. So it's not going to keep me from coming this, this July.
Starting point is 00:41:07 I'll be back. It would be interesting to see how old some of those reviews are because the, the face of Sixth Avenue has been revamped. They made a lot of the buildings less scary and old looking. The college has been updated, yada, yada. It's not so terrible. Yeah. Some of them, yada yada. It's not so terrible. Yeah, some of them, it kind of varies.
Starting point is 00:41:27 Some of them are kind of old. So it goes from anywhere from 2016 up to 2023. So there could be a couple of fresh reviews. Maybe we all, after our visit this summer, we need to hop into niche.com and leave a nice Aberdeen review. Notice how none of the negative reviews mentioned anything about the gyms in Aberdeen They must be pretty good
Starting point is 00:41:57 Right or obviously I've not been to lift hard the music classic in any capacity the music classic in any capacity. That's right, did you not see the sign? All right, okay, so I am going to pass it over to Ryan again for another ad read. All right, I'm gonna hit you with some history here. In the early 1960s, a man started attending horse shows, not that kind of show. He noticed the horse has barely had any protection from the hard concrete and their hose are quite noisy. The best half time were sheets of cardboard and plastic. The man knew there must be a better way. Fast forward to the 1980s,
Starting point is 00:42:35 the man was finally able to address the known issues. After much trial and error, he developed a textured sheet of vulcanized rubber, three quarter inch thick, size four feet by six feet. His invention was a hit. Horses were happier. The crowd enjoyed them as well as the horses were no longer making so much noise. That man's name was Matthew Horstall. And he invented the vulcanized rubber Horstall mat. With the success of the mats for horses, he wanted to expand into
Starting point is 00:43:04 other markets and was sure wasn't sure how. One night while brainstorming, his thoughts were disrupted yet again by his noisy neighbor, making all kinds of clunky mellow sounds. Not only having had enough, he stormed to his neighbor's garage to find out just what was going on. He came to find out his neighbor had quite the home gym and was deadlifting in bits of cardboard. The idea struck him, why not use the horse stall mats as a lifting platform? A new fitness revolution was born. Proud to carry on the Matthew Horstall vulcanized rubber horse stall mat tradition, Mastinomics is proud to offer their own rendition of the Matthew Horstall vulcanized rubber horse stall mat. Available in any color as long as it's black with multiple

These Matthew Horstall Volcanage Rover Horstall mats are sure to add to your home gym or commercial gym aesthetic not only improving your look at the gym but also minimizing noise and wear in your equipment only slightly assented. These mats are bound to please. Coming to massnomics.com use code unpaid I love it can't wait to get some of those you know I'm actually in the market for I need one at least one more just one is not gonna match then no rules match them. No rules. It's okay. It won't be touching the other one. I just I just need one. Okay. It's upside down.
Starting point is 00:44:31 That'd be fine. Mine are all upside down. I don't get why people have pattern upside. I don't well how do you know if it's upside down or not? Well because the horses you want the patterns and you can clean it out easy. Well, because the horses you want the patterns and you can clean it out easy. But I use the flat side up because I want a flat surface. So I do it. So that's that's not the right side. That's not how Keith does it. I have no idea.
Starting point is 00:44:59 I guess I'm complaining. I guess I have bridges. Bridges for her pleasure on the bottom. And then like, what do you call it? Like when you do drywall and you knock it down, it's pretty smooth. But there's still something. Or something. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:20 That cool. While I was on a bike on there now, I'm literally looking at a wall. I can't think. that cool. While I'm on a bike on there now, I'm literally looking at a wall. Like, I guess it's my video. This is actually Okay. All right. All right. Moving on. Okay. Here's our first one that we can we can tell Keith about. So this one I see you know, chicken farm. We're going to talk about
Starting point is 00:45:54 chicken farm reviews. And I had a little bit of help, had some secret help. I had a mole, her name is Stephanie, married to the one and only Keith Honeycutt, Big Keith. So she knows all about his food habits. And she gave me an idea to review the place where she loves chicken farm. And we're going to compare that then to the place where Keith likes to get his chicken. And so I'm going to kick it off with where Stephanie loves Chicken Farm. She told me that she tried to keep to come here and have it and he did not enjoy the Chicken Farm. And I'm not even kidding. These are all five star reviews.
Starting point is 00:46:40 And you're going to get the gist of it very quickly. Why Mama G's is what we're gonna talk about. Why Mama G's has 4.6 stars out of almost 1,700. So let's get started with Stephanie's favorite Mama G's. All right, Dawn says, five stars, much smaller than anticipated, but for what they lack in floor space, they more than make up for in service and quality
Starting point is 00:47:06 may have been the best chicken parm I have ever had. I can't wait to go back and try everything else on the menu. Already, already starting off good. I'm sold. Sign me up. Marie says first, my apologies. Would like to have taken a few photos of the food, but it looked and smelled so good that I dove into it and was done eating, not being able to pull myself away.
Starting point is 00:47:35 We ordered those lasagna and chicken parm with red sauce and homemade spaghetti noodles with Alfredo sauce. Everything tasted great. The food came quickly, the service was top notch. We felt catered to. The visit began with a quick bite but turned into the beginning of a beautiful date night. Our plates were only $14 per. So good parm and a good price. I like it. All right, Jade says, I have been here numerous times and have never had a bad experience. Staff is beyond kind. Food is absolutely delicious with generous portions. I'm very picky about
Starting point is 00:48:12 red sauce, but they do it right every time. The Alfredo is to die for and the homemade pasta choices are out of this world. I recently had my birthday dinner here with my friends and they all absolutely raved about their food. They got everything from seafood to chicken parm. Will not be disappointed by Mamaji's. Very easy location to get to as well. I recommend making a reservation. They're usually pretty busy, especially on the weekends. I like this little Italian restaurant in Des Mo Des Moines, um, which is still like an hour away from me, but like, like Harlow said, or whoever the first person was done,
Starting point is 00:48:52 um, the space is like, if you see it from the outside is like the diviest of dive bars is what you think it would be. But come five o'clock and even before like 430 to 445, you better have your ass in that parking lot, like ready to go in because you're not going to get a seat for this Italian restaurant. And I, I can envision Mama G's being the same, like the same square footage, the same food, like the same atmosphere. I love it. What about you guys? We've lived in Sioux Falls for four and four years now. And I don't think we've gone to a single Italian restaurant the entire time.
Starting point is 00:49:36 We got the old off garden, you know, so we've got a couple of Italian places, but one of them just closed down. Last time I was there, I got lettuce and lemonade. So there might've been underlying circumstances for why it got closed. I love that lettuce lemonade. That's good. I got a good friend, I think it was Dave from the Limoncello review.
Starting point is 00:50:03 I've been to Sicily, so I kind of ruined Italian food. Yeah, I mean, it's something California, there is like our B tier food is still better than probably what a lot of the great Italian food. Like I'm thinking of like there's a couple couple places in Syracuse, New York, one's called Vences and one's called Possibilities. Both of them amazing. I doubt we're going to be able to get Keith to go there.
Starting point is 00:50:37 He's not far from Syracuse. He works out there sometimes. Well, we'll see if we can change his opinion. State's pretty big. Do you think he can make it out there? I'm not too sure. It's not that far from it. Because I can make it out there for work.
Starting point is 00:50:48 I don't know. He's going to stretch it out though. It's going to be pretty big. All right. All right. Jordan says, absolutely delicious food. Charming waiter Stefano, fresh salads and huge portions of the main course. We had chicken parm.
Starting point is 00:50:59 We had chicken parm. We had chicken parm. We had chicken parm. We had chicken parm. We had chicken parm. We had chicken parm. We had chicken parm. We had chicken parm. We had chicken parm. We had chicken parm. All right, Jordan says, absolutely delicious food, charming waiter Stefano, fresh salads and huge portions of the main course. We had chicken parm with a choice of pasta, so good.
Starting point is 00:51:12 We took home what we couldn't even finish and they have the best bologna ice cream ever. All right, just a few more. All right, great staff, the food was excellent. I had the soup and chicken parm with gnocchi and my mate had chicken parm with angel hair pasta. The red sauce was fantastic. One of the best we've ever had. Sorry, grandma. We also ordered dessert. The cannoli and tiramisu both were excellent. Wait, you had a cannoli, didn't you? What is it? Cannoli or canelo?
Starting point is 00:51:49 Yeah, they actually have the cannoli, but what do you have? Oh my god, it's slipping my mind. The canna... Yeah, cannellini. Cannellini, yep. Yes, thank you. Cannoli and cannellini. Cannellini. Cannellini. Both are delicious. Cannellini. They're both spelled about the same.
Starting point is 00:52:12 All right. Just a couple more. Okay. Check my wife to celebrate her birthday and we had a great time. Here's why. Number one, our server Noel was awesome, friendly, funny, and very attentive to our needs. The food, Chicken Parm, is my favorite and they did not disappoint. My wife had the chicken French and it was huge and delicious. The fresh bread brought to our table is excellent, saved room for dessert. It was great. If you want authentic Italian foods in that warm, cozy atmosphere. This is your place. All right. Last one for Stephanie's recommendation. So Robert says, wow, this place is a gem. We have driven past this former friendlies building a million times.
Starting point is 00:52:55 It's friendly. Friendlies is like a East coast. Like I can't think what it is, but it must be like an RIO and like a Hardee's or a, and W or something goes out of business. And then they fill it in with like a Mexican restaurant. You can tell what building used to be a pizza hut. Yeah, we definitely have an old Hardee's that is a bank now. And you can kind of still tell it's a Hardee's.
Starting point is 00:53:20 We have a Benegans that's now a Mexican place. I love it. Benegans is a real place. I love it. But we have a real place. It used to be. I've only heard about on the South Park. You're not missing a whole lot. I know. We have a hurry that used to be there is now a gay bar, so.
Starting point is 00:53:40 Let's go. Hey, are you holding bars. Do they keep the name? No. Okay, all right. So we should try that place and never did until tonight. Really good and authentic food. We ordered chicken French, chicken parm, kids ravioli, mozzarella sticks. Portions were a little big.
Starting point is 00:54:05 I don't know why people would complain about that. So we are set for tomorrow's lunch though. Food tasted amazing. Servers sat us down, quickly got us our drinks and food quickly. Rave, absolutely rave reviews. Homemade, you can tell it's homemade pasta. We heard that multiple times.
Starting point is 00:54:25 We heard chicken parm and every single, every single reveal. He did not like it. Never doubted Stephanie for a second. Not for a second. All right, so. I'm pretty, I'm pretty slow at Mama G's. I know, I can't. Check this place out.
Starting point is 00:54:42 I'm gonna book a plane ticket right now. Okay, so we do know, so I'm gonna cut, give a little bit of slack, because we know that he's switched to strongman and he doesn't eat chicken parm as much as he used to, and so we're just digging this hole for him where, you know, he's kind of left the chicken parm world but we still gotta but we still got it. We still got to dig. But when he does power lifting, his favorite place to get chicken farm is a place called Mount Hope Family Diner. And we're, first off I'm going to say not a single review about
Starting point is 00:55:27 And we're first I'm going to say not a single review about chicken farm anyway. So that makes me laugh. So not even Keith has given it a good review of the chicken farm. Oregon, Keith. Come on, man. Yeah, I'm kind of suspicious about being a diner. Now, family diner. OK, let's get into a few of these. These are I'm not laying are all one star reviews.
Starting point is 00:55:57 I'm just going to run through some of these. I guess not a single one attracts. It definitely tracks. Okay, Candy says, I wish I could give it a zero. The food was absolutely disgusting. My haddock was undercooked, still slimy, in a fried shell it fell out of. Okay, I didn't get my eggs, grits, pancakes, basically a whole second meal. The service was terrible.
Starting point is 00:56:26 And when I spoke to Pete, he claimed he was the owner, then spoke to John and he said he was the owner. After spending $50.90 on that mess, I was told to take my business elsewhere and don't call and complain I'm not a customer anymore and argued down about what I did in different. Sorry receive But oh boy candy. So we got Pete we got John are both apparently the owners and We got some I hope more people are mentioned that also claim to be the owner later on in these reviews Franchisee LLC sort of situation?
Starting point is 00:57:07 Peermid scheme. Yes. I like how they ordered haddock, but also then eggs and grits and pancakes. What's going on here? That's a weird combo there. Is that like a combo on their menu? Just everything? That's the number five. weird combo there. Is that like a combo on their menu? Just everything?
Starting point is 00:57:25 That's the number five. I'm not a family diner. That is the number five. What did you expect ordering that? I don't like, yeah. Diner. Ordered a diner food. Had it because I even a common fish to eat at a diner. I feel like it's the most bland fish ever. OK, Amber says the diner has the worst food I have ever paid for. The waitress that served us got my order wrong and didn't smile. What or apologize for the mistake.
Starting point is 00:58:01 I will never go back and suggest you don't waste your money there. OK, the next ones are all pretty quick. So we'll run through them quickly. This one's called Let's Have Fun. The cups were filthy. So was the cell wear and the over easy eggs got me sick. Okay, that's a one starserve and let's have fun. Steven says, order a turkey dinner and it was horrible. The stuffing was mushy, didn't even taste like, that should be a diner staple. You should be able to do a turkey dinner
Starting point is 00:58:38 with stuffing in a diner. But just like soap top or something? Maybe. Yeah, how do you mess that up? It was mushy, so it must have had too much. So that had actually used to put in there. The slimy had it. OK.
Starting point is 00:59:01 OK. Anna says definitely not going back to that place, period. Never. Matt says better diners out there. I love how it's like short and concise and you just know like get it. Tiffany said food was horrible. He says, people make you feel uncomfortable there. It's Keith. He's lurking in one of the booths. It's like I wear two shoes. I would have enjoyed my meal but there was a large man wearing orange everywhere. Yeah. All by the lunch man saying, show
Starting point is 00:59:46 boot. I added extra slime to the headache. OK, OK, Catherine says food would serve to us cold. I like it. Joe says the food was OK. Just missed the mark. Oh gosh. Okay.
Starting point is 01:00:10 Now we're getting to just a few longer ones, but they're definitely worth the read. So Patricia says, It was terrible. My food was cold. The home fries were big, big hunk of potato that were basically raw. I scrambled eggs were scrambled to death. That they didn't even look like a I asked if they had turkey sausage, though, waited, said no. But I looked up at the board after my order was in and seen that they had chicken sausage. was in and seen that they had chicken sausage. But you think she offered that, uh, insured instead?
Starting point is 01:00:50 Question mark. Well, it's not a turkey. Absolutely not. Not a good way. That's your turkey. You'll not be eating there again. Negative one star too much scrambled in my eggs. My scrambled eggs are scrambled to death. Poor Patricia.
Starting point is 01:01:10 All right. I think this is Monapa. It's spelled like Monica, but with a P and so it's either a typo or it's actually Monapa. Okay. Monapa says went with with my sister and niece. You can tell I'm from Aberdeen, Moffat, I can't do ethnic names.
Starting point is 01:01:41 Okay. Went with my sister and niece. There was a few tables when we entered the establishment and the service was slow. Our server looked confused. She brought out the wrong soup for my sister. I had the meatloaf with mash and broccoli. I received the meatloaf and mash with one lettuce and a slice of orange. Not sure why I got the lettuce and orange. I wasn't making a sandwich. What? Get it. I had to ask for the broccoli. Food was mediocre. I had the
Starting point is 01:02:18 Manhattan clam chowder that had no clam. I am in this business and that's service we received. I would be embarrassed. Okay, one lettuce. First of all, okay, who makes the sandwich with meatloaf, mash, and broccoli, and lettuce, and an orange? I'm not making a sandwich. Or your first thought of making a sandwich is one lettuce and an orange like the description of one lettuce is funny to me. I think it's the sandwich. I don't think you were putting orange on my sandwich. And I'm wishing it has a rind so are you putting an orange on your sandwich or the rind? I don't get it like whatever. The rind is one of the bread slices. You're right. Okay. So no, no one no one lettuce. All right, two more. Steve says horrible experience. Where is the zero
Starting point is 01:03:18 stars option? I ordered from Uber Eats and the portions were extremely small cap letters., exclamation mark. It's not like it was gourmet or a meal special enough to be served in a baby amount. And then parentheses, $13 for three little stuff, Poxa shells. Honestly, the serving kind of sounds like it should be, reviewing it, it should be this.
Starting point is 01:03:41 He got three shells for $13. I also found a hair on the food and I'm pretty sure someone spit in one of the plates I ordered. He or she must not have been happy having to work this early in the day. Moral of the story, I wouldn't have preferred McDonald's any day over the meal I had. Oh gosh. That's incredible. How do you think you're a spit? Keith would be breaking down the dollar per shell ratio for a dish like that.
Starting point is 01:04:13 For sure. So do you think the spit was actually the haddock slime? Could be. Oh my. Seems to be the same here. Maybe it was some diet cream. Diet CIDA. Some opinions on some of those reviews. This is I spent a little bit of time working as a server in. And I mean, I actually I think I'm going to defend Keith a little bit here. Because one,
Starting point is 01:04:41 they didn't review chicken parm at all to like you go into a diner. Like what do you expect? Just ordered diner food and beat it. I mean, just get breakfast really. He probably goes there because it's consistent. It might not even be the best chicken parm, but it's probably just consistently the same every single way. And, you know, Keith likes things the same way every single time.
Starting point is 01:05:01 So that's probably why he goes there. Cause it, you know, sets them up like, all right, I'm going to go to my meet. I need everything to be exactly the same every single time. So that's probably why he goes there. Because it, you know, sets him up like, all right, I'm going to go to my meet. I need everything to be exactly the same every single time. But some of those reviews like sounded to me more like a customer issue than a restaurant issue. Look at you. You're so you're so different. I mean, it is so sweet. You're right.
Starting point is 01:05:21 And so. That chicken part is not the top Italian. So like my mom, she's definitely sounds better because there's going to be better options. But chicken part is consistent. It's always good. But there's way better Italian food. Oh, that's true.
Starting point is 01:05:37 OK, as a as a bonus. I OK, I do want to give him credit. You're right. Like he's he's changed a lot since he started the podcast I, okay, I do want to give Keith some credit. You're right. Like he's, he's changed a lot since he started the podcast and since we've been able to converse with him and make him a better person. He lives young and thought of all the things like he's definitely growing as a human. So this is definitely just for fun.
Starting point is 01:05:59 But I have, I have peer reviews of the Roma restaurant that he went to at Aberdeen that he just wanted to call out. And again, I don't know if I can try. Although he did the first year, he had reviews a second, he did not. So these reviews he might now agree with. So okay, Josh, these are just quick. Josh says, ordered spaghetti and meatballs got two small frozen meatballs that tasted like spaghetti and soup. Save your money and go
Starting point is 01:06:31 somewhere else. That says spaghetti is beat out this Italian. Don't waste your time or money. All right. It makes me laugh that maybe the first year Keith just had good parm, but it sounds to me like, and I read multiple reviews of Roman, a lot of them are like, it seems like it comes out of a pan, seems like it was reheated, like all the things, like nothing was fresh. So it just makes me laugh. Every time I got a salad from there, it was substantially wet. One lettuce. All of the lettuces were very wet. They never heard of a salad dryer.
Starting point is 01:07:21 I was there on the fateful day that Keith had that second chicken farm, but I thought it was all right. Like I didn't have any issue with the. Did you accidentally get a meal from a dog? I honestly couldn't remember. It might have been no, I think it was chicken. What was that big difference? Did you actually taste it?
Starting point is 01:07:44 No I didn't. I had the the cannoli. Oh, that's right. The cannoli. Oh, goodness. No, they can only and alone. Okay. Um, all right. That is all for Mama G's and Mount Hope. If I love you, don't be mad. I do agree with you, though.
Starting point is 01:08:11 You're right. Although someone did say slimy eggs or the eggs nader sick, so you couldn't even trust the diner food there up here. Okay, so I'm gonna throw it over to Big Ryan for another ad read. I was doing some searching for chicken parm places and came across this one. It's currently in New York. Never head out for a nice Italian meal, only be disappointed.
Starting point is 01:08:41 Have you traveled across the Midwest to find a good parm? Only be let down with a flavorless oily mess and undercooked noodles we have to that's why honey cuts we decided to make the best chicken parm around and that's what we've been doing for over 69 years we start with premium tender chicken breast add our signature secret seasoning breading and fry it to golden perfection place on your choice of pasta and top with our always fresh house made classic red sauce, Alfredo, pesto or barbecue. Barbecue, that sounds not so good, but sure delight and satisfy even the most asserting chicken parm aficionado.
Starting point is 01:09:18 Put the best chicken parm around. Come to Honeycuts. We know parm. Stop in now and try our new eggplant parm. Okay, it's somewhere in New York State. I love it sounds delicious. Who are the chefs? Yeah, good question. New York State's pretty big. I might get lost going to it. That was a risk. That's so true. But now I don't know if I can.
Starting point is 01:09:45 I don't sound as good as Mama G's, though. Yeah, I agree. It's especially a barbecue. Not really what I think of on a chicken farm. Pushing boundaries, it sounds like. They're innovative over there. Yeah, they're doing what's it? What's it called when you mix two together?
Starting point is 01:10:04 Fusion. Fusion. Oh my gosh. Yeah, they're doing a what's it what's it called when you mix two together? Most fusion I'm not a fan of Okay, all right, so I'm gonna move on to our sponsors So we obviously have some sponsors that help support not only the Mosaic Mastodonics podcast, but the Unpaid and Underrated podcast. And our sponsors, as dear as they are, and as much as we love them, they also get very, very bad reviews. In some cases.
Starting point is 01:10:40 Hands down, they have very, very high ratings. So our sponsors are absolutely amazing. And they help us keep the lights on, they help keep the podcasts running and let them do what they need to do so that we can be entertained week after week. And so we love them to death, but they are definitely not immune to bad comments or bad reviews. So in this case, for sponsors, we're just gonna go, since we have so many supporting sponsors,
Starting point is 01:11:08 we're gonna run through just a couple bad reviews for each one. So like about one or two for each of our sponsors and call them out. All right, we're gonna start with Texas Power Bars. So the first one cracks me up. So it's from Thomas. And he says, he says, Fantastic bar. I have the 29 millimeter Texas Power Bar and decided to purchase the 27 millimeter deadlift bar since I am moving to the USPA where they use the deadlift bar. The bar is beautiful
Starting point is 01:11:42 and the knurling is very aggressive. The bar provides nice flex on its lap pull. This bar is going to lead the deadlift PRs. Next up is going to be the monster squat bar. One star. I think he was confused. He thought he was rating it number one. I think so too. Poor guy. Poor job this. Yeah, I think he thought number one. I think so too. Goodness, poor guy. Poor job this. Yeah, I think he thought number one. Poor guy. Um, okay.
Starting point is 01:12:13 But really, ironically enough, this one, not a good review and it's from a key. I don't know if it's our key, but we'll see. Um, okay. Key says title of the title of the review is rough on hands. When I ordered the bar, no one discussed the different levels of early. The neural was too deep and rough on the hand. When I tried to return the bar for a more moderate nearly, I was told that that was not possible. I'm very disappointed. It was a very expensive bar and that seemed like a reasonable request. That cracks me up. I think they could have used some of Joey's gloves.
Starting point is 01:12:57 That being the weather, good work. I feel like Hegel grinder sales are gonna go up in my nerds now. Okay. Thank you, Texas Power Bars. We love you. All right. Drink Co. Okay.
Starting point is 01:13:18 I kind of regret getting these plates over bumper plates. These do look better, but bumper plates are just so much easier to handle that it makes it worth it. Furthermore, who the F is further? Furthermore, henceforth. There we can come to the conclusion. Okay, furthermore, these have narrow holes which are useful for plate security on the floor, but it makes it a PETA.
Starting point is 01:14:01 Pain in the ass is what I learned PETA is. I'm gonna go out on the lens and say, I didn't know what PETA is. I'm like, what the heck is what I learned. Pita is, I'm going to go out on the limb and say, I didn't know what pita was. I'm like, what the heck is a pita? Why is he using it on his bar? The piece of bread. Did you think it would help lift the bar? That's in place of gloves.
Starting point is 01:14:19 No, you don't need chalk, you just use pitas. Yeah. And then you eat the homeless afterwards. Dual purpose. OK, but it makes it a pain in the ass to put them on and take them off. That was the biggest. But of friction, I don't know what he's trying to say there with me working out. I wouldn't want I wouldn't want to work out due to the hassle of putting
Starting point is 01:14:47 the plates on and taking them off was harder than the lifts than Phelps. Ah ha. Excuse me. Sounds like a skill issue. I'm sorry, but a 45 pound strength go plate is way easier to handle than a 45 pound bumper plate. I can grip both but you get that lift. He coded smooth yet rugged easy to grip. And how much slop does he buy on his like in his bowl? Don't watch that play floppy. That's the the
Starting point is 01:15:30 the the the the Because if you're struggling to put them on and take them off, I mean, that's your workout right there and then you're done. Is this the first time he worked out where he was surprised he was going to have to put them on and then also take them off? Maybe second, because he did know that there's a difference between a bumper play and like an actual play. Just a second. Anyway, we love ourselves.
Starting point is 01:16:02 That's true. All right. Okay. So, Shrinko, we love you. That's true. All right. Okay. So shrink how we love you. Um, build pass formula. Um, I've used plenty of pre-workout. I don't know why I'm stupid shit like this. Christ me. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:16:17 But I've used plenty of free space work space outs. I'm just plenty of pre-work outs before including the original DAC-3D. Two scoops of this stuff left me lying flat on my back on the basement floor with my heart feeling like it was going to explode. Panting unable to sleep that night, I titrated down to a little under half a scoop and that checked all the boxes.
Starting point is 01:16:47 Loved it after that. Doesn't really taste like a rocket pop, but hey, it's sweet and it tastes about as good as the rest on the market. Just be careful how you dose it. So gave it a bad review, but actually kind of like came around and animated it, I guess. I don't know. So as someone that I would use Jack 3D before it became illegal, I call BS on that. Like there is nothing that puts you on your ass like Jack 3D. And I've taken I've taken the full blitz. And I like those best formula.
Starting point is 01:17:23 I don't use free workouts anymore. I just bought it just to see how I liked it. It's a very tame pre workout compared to some of the ones that are out there. How many milligrams of caffeine do you know? I think it's 325, which is an higher side for caffeine. But not the tingly. Yeah, it's not. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:17:45 It was like, they don't like, I do. They don't have a lot of nonsense inside there. So like, it's like I said, it's a pretty tame pre-workout. Like it's, it's just no BS in there. And I call BS on that guy's review. Well, to counter, I think like at most I get like 200 milligrams of caffeine a day. So I would probably flip out if I had anything that was 325 in one shot. That's two scoops.
Starting point is 01:18:14 So you can do one scoop. I would definitely have to do one scoop or less. I can't be like Hannah and drink a monster at like 730. Okay, but don't pass the word. We got your reveal. We love you. Barefoot shoes. So Joseph says, these are okay. Quality is okay. Okay. Insoles a bit off. They are like slippers. Simple to the point. Not great, not bad.
Starting point is 01:18:53 Okay. I got big mofo with the shoe down here. Perfect shoe. Well, we'll post some pictures for barefoot shoes. Give you a real screenshot. No, we prefer photos of screens here and not actual screenshots. Hold on.
Starting point is 01:19:14 Okay, but thank you, barefoot shoes. We love you. Okay, juggernaut AI. Okay, this is a little bit long. It's a couple paragraphs, but we have to hear it. Okay. The problem with all these so-called AI programs is that in reality, they're very basic programs sprinkled with a bit of auto regulation. Literally that's it. Anyone saying it worked for them is saying they basically... Gosh. Anyone saying it worked for them is saying they basically... Gosh, anyone saying it worked for them is saying that
Starting point is 01:19:45 basically block periodization worked, which yeah, it does for a lot of people. But there's nothing specific about the AI programs that is actually much more interesting than that. That's what frustrates me personally. The amount of customization is actually really low when you think about it. It gives the appearance of a lot, but not really. As you said, you can swap exercises like hack, swap, and leg curl, but there is not intelligence, quote unquote, involved when you do more quad versus hamstrings. Now what? It doesn't at all affect the rest of the program.
Starting point is 01:20:26 Also, it does 10 bias heavily to volume, which I feel like will work for those with easy gain capacity, but actually for many, they need more nuance. I just feel like this guy, I don't know. Sounds like he should just hire a trainer then. Yeah. Triple the money for less results. He's yucking, he's yucking people's yum, I guess.
Starting point is 01:20:54 I mean, I guess the way I look at it, yeah, all those things work and it's a cheap way to get a program in and have some sort of nuance in each workout, I guess. I did use Jorgenat and I didn't mind it. And you're right, it's much cheaper than a coach. But it's also much easier than looking at a spreadsheet or like a static page and trying to like make that, that work. So I don't know. Yeah. make that that work. So, I don't know. Yeah, I've used it off and on since 2018 when it was in beta.
Starting point is 01:21:28 And it's so people are judging like it's not like, yeah, no shit. No, I really I know it's all if this then that statements. Yeah. But it's a lot of them. Right. But it's a lot of them. Right. Okay. Anyway, Juggernaut AI, we love you. You're doing good things.
Starting point is 01:21:51 Barbell Rescue, this one's a short one. And I'm going to read it again, as I said, not with the money. Didn't do anything to claim the prize. I'm going to go out and online and think that he said means not worth the money. I've seen it in action. I think it actually does clean your bar but you can have some practice with the movement of stroking his bar. That might be. I can't see who this is. I wish I could see their name. Okay, but yes. Barbell Rescue, thank you. We love you.
Starting point is 01:22:31 Freedom fitness equipment. So this equipment is all sporting goods store or equivalent in terms of quality. It's also all Chinese rebrands or knockoffs. Avoid this overpriced garbage. Don't pay premium for subpar equipment. Look at the new used gym store instead, which must be local in North Carolina, I guess. Way better selection than people there. His deal, quote unquote, packages are absolute trash. Very poor quality racks with 300 pound benches in them run. I purchased light from Ashton when he had blue hair in his backyard. Don't let him fool you into thinking
Starting point is 01:23:15 this isn't for his company. I tried to purchase more at another date, but saw the quality and bluff. And Ashton, Ashton shows up, he has a comeback, so the business owner has a reply. Hello, this person has never shopped with us. This may be a review for another store? This may be in retaliation to the comment this person posted harassing our business on social media. It seems they are going around and trying to give bad reviews we blocked their account for violation of community guidance guidelines.
Starting point is 01:23:50 We sell commercial grade new and used equipment that is very high quality. I like that. I like when the business owners come in like, like, no, no, not gonna let you do this. Maybe that's what happened at the diner. They were fake customers giving bad reviews just to slander and make Keith look bad. That could be. That could be. So we have to give Keith a minute if I have a doubt. Thank you, Freedom Fitness Equipment. Belt Pet Strength, that's one of, I picked that up specifically for them. So it's short and sweet. Why would someone get this over a part pioneer belt that has better
Starting point is 01:24:28 adjustability question mark? Okay, but the beef is there that he doesn't like pioneer at all. I love that someone specifically called out that why wouldn't you get why would you get those over pioneer? So I love it. We love you about that. I will get a belt that belt at some point. I never need a new one. I know they look so cool, but I'm, I have two already and I both, there's just some things I want to spend money on. That's my belt's three.
Starting point is 01:25:03 My belts keep shrinking. So I'm gonna have to get a new one here soon yes you know the committee or something strike last year than a group so like a fitted again weird so nice next this one's kind of funny. Never arrived. I would love to update my rating, but this gift was never received by my friend. That's all they wrote. And then LightSnacks Mark replies, Hi Morgan, we reached out to you and asked you to confirm your friend's
Starting point is 01:25:41 address. The tracking showed as delivered within the expected timeframe. Can you email us back and let us know your customer's address? Make sure that you entered it correctly and it was delivered to the correct address. Thanks, Mark. That happens a lot. Don't you feel like though that. The friends bought it for them and the other friend didn't like it, and so they're just like, and so this order money and they just tell their friend. I like it.
Starting point is 01:26:21 Stuff was missing. It does come to say yes. Or you just do what I did. I got some stuff shipped to my sister-in-law's house and I put the wrong address in because I looked up on my ways to see what the last address was and I didn't realize it. So the stuff I sent there ended up going to a gas station. Oh no. That's on me. I put the wrong address in.
Starting point is 01:26:40 Wait, did you get it back or is it gone? Yeah, I'm just curious, like was the gas station nice enough? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I put the wrong address in. Wait, then did you get it back or is it gone? Yeah, I'm just curious, like, was the gas station nice enough to like tell you? Oh, I couldn't I couldn't even get a hold of anybody there. And there's in Arizona. So, oh,
Starting point is 01:26:57 they got your gift and they shut down and ran. Well, fortunately, it wasn't a gift. They were taking care of my rabbit. So I ordered like food and stuff like that for them. Does that mean you have a rabbit's foot? They're still attached. But yes. Wait, how many rabbits do you have? Two. So eight feet.
Starting point is 01:27:24 What are the names? I have a male lion head that's named Speedy. And then a female holland lop named Daisy. Speedy and Daisy. I don't know what you just said other than their rabbit. I think he's making it up. The lion has like super long fur to where you can't see his eyes or anything like that. And then the hall and she has like the long floppy ears.
Starting point is 01:27:54 Okay. We, we must see pictures of these sometime. They missed an opportunity not calling them Hall and hop. There you go. I don't name him. Okay. Home Gen Con. I kind of find a lot of reviews on Home Gen Con obviously, which is coming up. So make sure you use the code. I saw a couple on a video of explaining about Home Gym Con, was I grabbed a comment and it was, ah, nice, the annual sex toy expo. Been looking forward to this. Like, why?
Starting point is 01:28:34 Why you just make stuff like that? Different kind of gyms. Different gyms, different functions. Actually, actually, I don't know about another podcast, I listen, I know there's no other podcasts, but on the other one, they actually did talk about the, there is a sex toy. I don't know what you call it. Sex toy expo. Conventions. Conventions. Yeah. And the reviews about it, we're talking about how it's just a bunch of just old people looking around and like the back of the Ramada convention space.
Starting point is 01:29:14 Nice. Sure, there's an expo for everything. I'm sure you're probably right. And then there was another comment that I don't know why, but it just said, it's not a conference unless that guy who walks around stiff-shouldering people there. And it just grabs me up because you can picture that. There's always some asshole that has to get somewhere faster than you in any crowded space all the time.
Starting point is 01:29:38 Well, no, they're actually talking about the specific, he makes videos doing that. He goes to the Olympia and and the Arnold and he's like I would say he's a middle-aged like white out-of-shape man And then he just walks around like puffed up and then he will bump into them And they just stare them down for a second and they walk away And it's all like everybody's in on it God, oh my God, I think I've seen it. I feel like Joey right now because I know.
Starting point is 01:30:08 Wait, who's that? I swear that the old lady that also goes to conventions, what's her like? Have you seen her? Yeah. I feel like she. Oh, yeah. OK, probably. And butchering. I was going to the guys at the Olympians. Do you work your legs out?
Starting point is 01:30:27 Yeah, you can't tell. Yeah. Yeah, well, sure. All right. Thank you, home gen con. Last one here is obsidian ammonia. Michael gave it one star. It's ammonia is the title.
Starting point is 01:30:37 Ammonia is very toxic to the brain. I thought I was buying a compound of salt. I thought I was buying a compound of salt. I thought I was buying a compound of salt. I thought I was buying a compound of salt. I thought I was buying a compound of salt. I thought I was buying a compound of salt. I thought I was buying a compound of salt. I thought I was buying a compound of salt. I thought I was buying a compound of salt. Ammonia is very toxic to the brain. I thought
Starting point is 01:30:47 I was buying a compound compound of salt. If you want this horrific smell by I have no idea how to pronounce this word by a lot of blood S M a aka hair bleach. So they did not like the smell, which it literally is obsidian ammonia. He bought ammonia and complained that it was ammonia and gave it one star. I don't understand. How is hair bleach any better? That sounds worse. Right. I don't know. Also, who's ever bought smelling salts because they smell good? Isn't that not the point? I don't get it. You know this pepper I bought smells like pepper.
Starting point is 01:31:30 That makes me angry. Okay. But sponsors, that is the end of our sponsors. We love you. Moffat, I don't want to put you on the spot, but speaking of sponsors, do you have our sponsors and the code affiliate code? or unpaid generated
Starting point is 01:31:52 Your Alright, so we have Vivian willonia barbell rescue plate snack home gym con Belt-fed strength freedom fitness equipment and the strength to apparel. At all these places you can use code unpaid to save roughly 10% and even that elsewhere you can try to use unpaid to see what happens. I like it. I love it.
Starting point is 01:32:17 Thank you sponsors. All right, we're going to move on to our favorite, our OG, Masanomics. And we're gonna, I've done a hodgepodge of things for Mathonomics. So I've grabbed comments from YouTube and comments from Instagram, all kinds of things, comments on videos, it doesn't matter. We love them. We love the comments. And obviously, Tanner and Tommy have made it their mission to if someone makes a comment, that comment will live on forever in some sort of meme or whatever it is. And they just flip it and they have such a good attitude.
Starting point is 01:32:59 So I love that. I actually prefer when someone doesn't understand and they come and like leave a horrible comment or a horrible review because it just gives a squatter or future jokes and I love it. So, um, I'm going to start off just a couple of one good one that I thought was so cute and all it is simply, I like how they talk. I do love how they talk. I love it. Some people actually love Mastanomics and don't get me wrong, they have absolutely almost what? 600 reviews on some of the podcast platforms and they're almost all five stars.
Starting point is 01:33:39 It is hard to find negative reviews. It is much easier to find negative comments of those people that just are not on the joke. So, right, we're going to start off with... So as I'm scrolling through, obviously, you guys are familiar with... I can't remember her name, but she has the US, at least, record for the biggest boobs. And you have seen a picture of Tanner the biggest boobs and you have seen a picture of Tanner interviewing a fed woman with largest boobs and another woman saw the video and she also maybe struggles or doesn't struggle with having large breasts and she felt the need that she needed to comment and let the world know. So I'm going to read, I think her name is, I don't know, PJ Pugga Pillar fan, 2750,
Starting point is 01:34:34 is what we're going with. Pugga Pillar? Okay, I have truly struggled my entire life to find bronze that fit me good. I am 42K. First of all, I'm so tiny. I'm going to put it out there. I'm so tiny that I didn't even know there was a K. You can't have them, that letter.
Starting point is 01:34:57 Yeah, like I didn't know the alphabet went that high for this product. Probably fit one side of that, Jen. There's 26 letters. I didn't know the alphabet went that high for this product. You could probably fit it one side of that, Jen. There's 26 letters. Okay, thank you. I realized that. Not for Jen, however. There is only one letter for Jen. She barely fixed that one. Okay.
Starting point is 01:35:25 All right. I am 42K. Not, and then she goes to caps. Not by choice. I wear two bras when I ride horses. I'm not, I'm not fat. I'm not too fat. I'm 5'4", 200 pounds.
Starting point is 01:35:43 Okay. Probably 50 pounds over, honestly. I'm not too fat. Just buy four 200 pounds. Okay, probably 50 pounds over honestly. Not too fat. Just big boob. That's a lot of boobs. She's a big boob. Gigantic boobs. Did she mention if she's single or not? Not yet. Poor lady. I got unwanted wanted. I think she means unwanted attention since age 10,
Starting point is 01:36:11 not fun people. So, okay, that kind of gives me the creep that hopefully whoever was giving your attention were not people. Men. I mean, that just, I don't like it. I don't want you to know. It's such a lighthearted video for her to dump that on us. I know. Like, let me tell you about my horrific past and my abuse. It's just horrible. There's a podcast for that and it's called unpaid and underrated.
Starting point is 01:36:41 Yes. Get her on the show. Call her up. You want to turn the host up, Big Spicy? And we'll get names and addresses of those names that we'll make sure to take care of. I just wanted folks to not see just my boobs. I am a real person. Thank goodness mine only weigh four pounds each, not 50 pounds.
Starting point is 01:37:03 God bless anyways. God doesn't make mistakes. Four pounds and 42 K. Like, I don't understand that. Where are you weighing that? Your scale in the kitchen or like, at the grocery store, those hanging ones, you just flop it in there and just see what it says. I don't have one at home, so I had to go to Walmart. and the the
Starting point is 01:37:33 the the the the the the the Yeah, I can't fathom. Four pounds is nothing. Is she missing a decimal point? Maybe. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:37:50 What are we, Big Math? We're not Big Math over here. Okay, I feel bad. We gotta figure out a way to measure. See if she's lying. I wonder what the algorithm was for that video. I just assumed that it just got shared, or it just started going crazy or something.
Starting point is 01:38:09 I forgot to look how many reviews it had, but whatever. She does not seem like a Masanomics fan to be in the realm of watching Masanomics videos. OK. These are just a couple of ones where in relation to Dr. Mike Isriatel doing where Tommy and Tanner were asking them about the chicken bake and the pizza from Costco
Starting point is 01:38:38 and how much protein each of those things had. And these were just some, she's a couple of comments that caught my eye. So this one's pissed and he says, sources my peeps nutrition next says the calories are 313 fat is 13 grams carbs are 35 and protein is 13, but sounds an F ton more realistic for a slice of pizza. And there's a lot of this emoji, like with your question mark. I guess I did a pizza for ants. Yes. I don't understand the pizza. Yeah, it's like, like one slice is like half a pizza damn near.
Starting point is 01:39:21 They're big. Yeah. They got like a normal medium like slice of pizza is about like 300 calories. Yeah. So where is his Costco sets? Like 18 inch pizzas. Yeah, I think a regular large is like 15. Yeah. Yeah, he's probably thinking of the frozen ones. I got not the food court ones. Maybe maybe. But then again, like if you're going to be so adamant to have a shitty like comment like that, you better make sure you know what you're where we got the pizza from and like, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:39:57 But if you check yourself before you wreck yourself, don't question the gains, just eat the pizza, get big. Yeah. Not health foods pizza. Get big. Yeah. Not health foods, pizza. Okay. And there was another guy that says, well, that's completely BS. Each one is 35 grams of protein. Fucking numbers aren't even remotely close to 4,100 grams. So he's pissed.
Starting point is 01:40:19 It also seems like that one's towards the chicken bake. And he's absolutely relating it to maybe the frozen one, which are much smaller. I don't know. Yeah. And they have less protein now. Exactly. So I feel like they even watch the video. Or did they just like see the title? Like, what did they do? I don't know. Did you read the article? Right. Okay, so here's just a couple for
Starting point is 01:40:48 drinks butter. A good one though. The first one is good. And it says, this is such a stupid product. I need it. I love it. Okay. And then this guy, this was this a comment up off of whatever post or something. And he says, everyone fanboying because Masanomics brand has built a good reputation and is respected. Released by any big box store and everyone would hate it till no end. Power of brand and consumer need for identity. I'm like.
Starting point is 01:41:19 Fuck them for being good and respectable dudes. Yeah. I hate them. They have a good reputation. I hate when people sell quality items at respectable prices. He's like, he is like we used to be a proper country guy for sure. Like, he's mad. Yeah. Gosh, that one cracked me up we we all fanboying over
Starting point is 01:41:51 here okay this one says i've literally never thought twice about picking my drink up off the floor if this if it wasn't november i'd have thought this was a good april fools day chug If this if it wasn't November, I'd have thought this was a good April Fools Day joke. I don't know again. You don't have to buy it. Why are you making comments? Who doesn't even know what he's missing out on? Exactly. Oh, I wasn't told initially. But it's worth it, right?
Starting point is 01:42:20 And I have one of each. Yes, I've had people come to the gym that don't understand anything and have said, this thing is awesome. I can put my drink right here. I love it. Yeah. They don't know anything about meth. Okay, this one is seems like a waste of money and feel TBH, TBH, TBH, TBH.
Starting point is 01:42:42 TBH. Okay. Again, you don't have to buy it. And last one for drink sputter. If you're in the gym working out with a blender bottle, you're either a newbie or a tool. These are useless. Okay, first of all, most of that comment had nothing to do
Starting point is 01:42:59 with a drink sputter and it had everything to do with a blender bottle. I don't understand why he's to do with a blender bottle. I don't understand why he's so mad about someone else at his local gym that lifts more than him has a blender bottle. Like who cares about your vessel that gets your drink into your body? Who cares? Like whatever. People are gonna be mad about super things. My G-Spotter XL has a hydroplastic in it. Who are those? Poser.
Starting point is 01:43:31 You're fancy. Okay. Here's just a couple that I thought were funny about. Obviously, and actually this is funny that's coming up because I grabbed these a few weeks ago and both podcasts have talked about timestamps and how Tanner and Tommy talked too much in the podcast beforehand before they get to either the guests or the topic. And so I have just a couple that struck me so funny. Okay, this one is in relation to the very recent video, or I'm sorry, podcast where they talk about the used versus foreign versus local products. And this guy came out of nowhere and said, oh, in caps and exclamation points, oh, MFG, I came for a
Starting point is 01:44:26 main topic and was expecting it first and all the BS second, but had to wait for a minute. This is why I don't like or listen to podcasts. Okay, guy, calm down. Got him. Got him. Got him. What's awesome is the fact that Tater addresses that. He's a very specific comment too. I love it. And he actually pinned this one, so I love it.
Starting point is 01:44:56 And he says something like, oh shoot, I forgot what his reply comment was. It was hilarious. So it's like, I love that he's always so nice. He says, say a lot of people in the back. Oh yeah. He's so condescending. So great. I love it.
Starting point is 01:45:14 I love someone jumping into a podcast 400 episodes in and being upset at the flow of how the podcast goes. But also it's like, like, like they said on the most recent podcasts, like I think he talked, they talked about this one too. And it's, this is the similar format for a lot of podcasts. So people just bullshitting. So I don't understand. And also guess what, you didn't have to listen. And also guess what? You could have fast forwarded and found what you needed and wanted instead of listening to 54 minutes. Obviously, because they listened for 54 minutes. You can push forward.
Starting point is 01:45:56 Yeah, I get it. Can I feel like you might be in on the joke and just not submitting it? I don't know. Maybe. I think I left a pretty solid comment on the last video about timestamps. So I put, I want timestamps so I can listen to the podcast episode out of sequence. I do have one about pot. So this one, you can tell a mass dynamics person hopped in on this one. So it makes me, it makes me giggle.
Starting point is 01:46:24 Okay. a Mastinomics person hopped in on this one. So it makes me giggle. Okay, so this was when Mitchell Hooper was on the podcast and some random guy obviously wanted to hear Mitch Hooper. And so in the comments, he's put 2929 is when Hooper gets on. And then Mastinomics replies, no timestamps in the jungle. And then another Mastinomics person writes, I remember my first Mastinomics podcast. And then the last person write, what's the timestamp of when he gets off? Asking the real hard-hitting questions.
Starting point is 01:47:01 Right. It struck me so funny. Like, we don don't care about Mitch and we just want the... And that's typically how crew is. We want to hear the beginning and we want to hear the end. Yeah, that's okay, fine. That's sure. But here, Tanner and Tommy, I love it. I did try to figure out today who that person was. So if you are listening to the unpaid for a podcast and you are DJ Eric.
Starting point is 01:47:30 Oh, that's me. No, it's not. That is. Is it really? Yeah. I remember. Oh, I. I told so much stuff.
Starting point is 01:47:41 I asked multiple people and I just blacked out and started commenting on best of public stuff. DJ ARIC. Yes, that's me. I'm so pissed that you didn't answer me today. I'm sorry. You do it on purpose. I must have missed that. No, no. That so that screen name was back to the AOL days. the the the
Starting point is 01:48:17 the the So Tanner doesn't know who that is. They're like, well, this person definitely is crew. Keith didn't know who it was. And they're like, I think it's crew. And then Keith went off on a rant about, this is why I'm so pissed that people don't have the same username across all our platforms.
Starting point is 01:48:37 Just made me, like even that, me just got the simple question of Keith got him going. It was hilarious. Even that, me just got the question of, he got him going. It was hilarious. There's this little thing called anonymity. Okay, just a couple more here. These are Instagram comments off of certain memes that just struck me funny. So the first meme is the one where the wife's like, are you really going to drink beer all day after you spent three and a half hours in the gym? And then obviously, like he's showing like, yeah, we're going to do that.
Starting point is 01:49:10 But then some guy writes, you guys wonder why your gains are non existent, cut the alcohol and find out how quick things work. Like, okay, it's a meme. We fun, like dude, calm down. And also I'm gonna guess that Tanner and Tommy have as many games as whoever this person was. They didn't go check it out, but I'm gonna guess they do. And the next one is, this was the brokeback mountain meme and it says, and so it's like when they see each other for the first time and they they run and they give each other like a loving hug and so Tamara writes or the meme is when you see another dude in the gym also using that pad around the bar for some time. It's funny anyway. But then there's two perfect comments, like
Starting point is 01:50:10 literally right in a row. The person says, I am not a wimp. I just have a small neck. This person right below that says, you have a small something else too. Because you have a small something else too. Perfect. I just can't fathom, even on high bar, like, how are you putting a bar on your neck? Like even on high bar, you're not putting it on your neck. So I mean, like Hannah, you're not a big person. I'm not a big person. And I have never thought, damn, my neck is too small for this.
Starting point is 01:50:43 I need to put the pad on it. Like what? You're doing it wrong. Somebody is not a F1 driver. No. OK, but on the same, same meme, another guy writes, this proves that these stupid rules like not using a barbed head and not wearing gloves is all to prove you to When you probably be better in by a mild cold and then someone comments back gay Old default
Starting point is 01:51:19 Try meeting some of these things this that poor guy reading some of these things. That poor guy. Honestly, I don't make fun of people in the gym, but he literally had to write that comment, like go and call himself out. I don't know, using love. He had tears in his eyes writing that comment. He felt like Tanner wrote that meme specifically for him and he needed to say no this is rude. I need to write something about it. How dare you this was targeting just to me. Exactly. You and your small necks. The last thing here I wrote down, I tried to do a lot rush more of my favorite Mastinomics comments that kind of have been just the founding father comments of Mastinomics.
Starting point is 01:52:19 And I want to kind of hear your guys's too, but I'll read the ones that I think should maybe be up there. Obviously the plain ones that kind of started it off. So I'm good with the plain ones. All you're doing is slapping a logo on it and charging more for it. So yes, obviously, like commerce works. You put your brand on it and you upcharge worth, obviously. And then Brian, I think Brian should be on there and I love that there's two comments. So the one is after the first meme with the Taylor Swift.
Starting point is 01:52:55 It says unfollowed. Thanks for making that so easy. And then he ends up coming, Brian comes back and as soon as he comes back, everybody wants him to post another meme. So he posts another Taylor's stretch meme and then poor Brian says this is ridiculous, unfollowed. So like within a very short time frame, poor Brian has unfollowed Mousenomics twice. Or Brian has unfollowed Mousenomics twice. And then one of the more recent ones is the miss in Mexico. I think that is hilarious. That guy, the old guy that went off on a rant about
Starting point is 01:53:34 if you are missing Mexico is so bad to just get on a plane that Trump can provide and take you back to your country. Like that guy is most certainly, we used to be a proper country guy and he needs to let everybody know. And then I, so I personally kind of liked the John Q. I don't know if you guys remember John Q and this one was on, so it was a top 10 best strength training podcast. Um, what do you call it? YouTube video.
Starting point is 01:54:12 And it's literally the not the, um, thumbnail is Tanner wearing the dark side shirt, so it has, has the rainbow and it has the plate and this guy got absolutely pissed that Tanner was wearing apparently wearing a rainbow on a shirt. So I'm going to read that comment just because I thought it was funny. And he's, he's mad. I just watched that movie. Don Q.
Starting point is 01:54:35 Or five. I still don't understand what that has anything to do with it. But anyway, I just watched that movie. John Q before John Q is going to sacrifice some health and thought to save his son, he tells him to make as much money as he can, even if he has to sell out every once in a while. Nevertheless, I am unsubscribing because of the t-shirt and will in no way support anything Massenomics does in the future. In fact, if the power to impede your success ever comes my way, I will act on that power.
Starting point is 01:55:09 Holy shit, he's pissed about something he doesn't even understand. It's a video. It's a prism. They sold out. They went, well, appealing to the Rainbow Mafia just to get cash. In the hell. appealing to the Rainbow Mafia just to get cash. And I have to get a small neck. It's a headache at a Pink Floyd fan. They're going to be Floyd. I love wearing that shirt intentionally, hoping that someone will be that way.
Starting point is 01:55:39 I went cuddling for some he saw he's like, let's have a rainbow. I was like, you ever heard of dark side of the moon? Is it? Oh, I get it, he's like, what's up with the rainbows? Like you ever heard of dark side of the moon? Is it all I get it? It's like that or something else was like, well, what does it matter to feel something else? Exactly. Also, even just like scientifically, like it's the prism.
Starting point is 01:55:56 You shine a light through it and it just does that. Yeah. And also, is it? OK, I'm going to really put myself out here. I don't know a lot about things that I don't want to make me mad because I don't know a lot about religion. But is that the rainbow like significant and. Yeah, it is for Catholics. It's symbolized in the covenant that God made with Noah.
Starting point is 01:56:24 Somebody went to 12 years of Catholic school. Exactly. Okay, thank you, Spicy. So what if he's wearing that rainbow for Jesus? That could be very possible. I don't know. Maybe the guy's mad about that. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:56:42 Anyway, those are some of my my favorites. Is there any that have stuck out with you guys that maybe I didn't catch or that you can think of that have been just I think big game has to be up there with proper penalty form and how he's gonna out to out out roll Mitchell Hooper. That's so true, which, which obviously we're all on the UNU podcast and we're all crew. But if you somehow happen to podcast and you don't listen to Mastonomics, you need to support them in the end of the discord because that's where some of these very niche things come into play. And poor Gabe, you're right. Or Gabe, that was hilarious.
Starting point is 01:57:32 I know I love it so much. All he wants to do is fight and lift. Yup. This is all he knows. The best part is just the general, like unawareness of people that are outside of crew commenting on things on Instagram, because they're obviously gotten to a point where they're big enough that they're being like sponsored or recommended to like pages, you know?
Starting point is 01:57:57 So it's coming across people's feeds that have no idea what's going on and they're commenting and have no, it makes it tickles my heart that they have no idea what they're doing for all of us that they don't understand like all of these people that are liking and commenting like know each other and talk to each other and like we're all in on the joke so they say something insane and it just is is is wonderful for us and they'll never know like Brian will truly never know how much joy he brought every single one of us during that like couple of week timeframe. It's so true. Brian knows. Mr. Brian is still in the conspiracy camp. That is true. Tanner does still talk to Brian. Which I think is funny. Or is that because Tanner is Brian? He's engagement farming
Starting point is 01:58:52 Either way, I love it But okay So let's say something is you're scrolling Instagram or tick tock or whatever and something is sponsored to you or you know that you think Obviously they think you might like. Okay, some of them I actually do think are funny and I'll go look at their page and I'll start to like watch a few videos and like these are funny like I could get into this like at what point on Mastinomics do you go? How do you get into it and make like such a horrible comment without like looking at the page even when you go to just their page, you can see 25 hilarious memes
Starting point is 01:59:29 without even opening one up. And then not getting that it's comedy. Incredibly unserious, yeah. Yes, I don't understand. Why aren't you doing a little bit of homework? I just don't get it. Anyway. Okay guys, we have,
Starting point is 01:59:49 speaking of Mastinomics, we have a wonderful, we thank you so much Mastinomics for supporting Unpaid and Underrated and allowing us to get together. So Ryan is going to read our last sponsor read. All right. Can you feel that? Oh shit.
Starting point is 02:00:10 But what? You know what that sound means. It's time for the big sister podcast ad read. Of course I'm talking about Mastinomics. You a silly goose who loves lifting living easy? Do you love so many inside jokes that the math stop math thing? Did you not have

I'm totally niche, not bear parity shirts to the best and most expensive shorts around as long as you aren't okay with plain ones. Are you concerned about drink safety? Well,
Starting point is 02:01:03 you should be. Masanomics sure is. They offer an extensive line of over three different drink spotters looking for a certified gym to train in.
