I'm sure something will come up organically.
Depending on who's on, I don't know if anyone has tried Tanner's Double Overhand Deadlift
Challenge.
No, I haven't.
I haven't jumped in on that, but that looks like fun.
I did it on my Deadlift accessory, so I did it with RDLs.
10 reps is technically an RDL anyway, I don't care what anybody says.
If you're doing more than three, it's RDLs.
Welcome everybody to episode 111 of the unpaid and underrated podcast. The podcast hosted by crew, for crew, by crew, mocked by crew, and often not recorded properly by crew tonight I have a big Gary on my left oh he's muted so he's
hello hello
oh I was worried I'd have background noise but I'm also here the other big
international League of Joey's has heard in the pre-show. All right, anybody got anything cool they're wearing?
I have the Inez Carraschino
Dominator shirt came in this week from Arnold.
For a while I thought they said the Jobinator and I was so confused.
I was hoping it said the burninator. I've got the Massenomics smoke tee which is a pretty
comfortable t-shirt. It's one of my few like gray instead of black shirts. Is it beefy? I think this one is on the beefy
blank. I can't actually remember which ones are in which blank anymore. Do you
guys remember when Mick Foley did the ravioli, the Chef Boyardee commercials?
Yes! And he was just eating just loads of sodium-laced, heartburn-inducing raviolis.
My first job was at a CVS,
and I was too stupid to pack a lunch,
so I would just grab a shelf-stable Chef Boyardee ravioli
and then a bag of chips or something like that
and eat that in the break room for my lunch.
I mean, I didn't grow up without things,
but like we didn't grow up in a lavish lifestyle.
So I often ate a lot of Chef Boyardee as a kid.
And like to this day, like I look forward,
like we're shopping and it's on sale.
I'm like, I'm stockpiling Chef Boyardee,
but the heartburn, like I'll wake up in the middle
of the night with full on acid reflux
Because the the red sauce they use has so much tannins and stuff in them that I'm just like oh
And then I don't learn my lesson and I do it again like a week later. Yeah
savings you can taste
Over and over and over again. Oh
Geez anybody got anything cool to drink in?
As Joey takes a drink.
I have.
A Waterloo Huckleberry Cobbler.
Co branded with Guy Fieri flavor towel.
Damn, that's cool.
But this because I thought it was just ridiculous
I mean it's flavor town, right? So of course it's delicious. Exactly
All right. No, I don't have anything cool
I'm drinking water and Keith's as usual
All right, should we go over last week's Mastanomics episode?
Yes.
Alright, so mostly machines? Machine based? About machines?
Get to the wallet.
Yeah, the get to the wallet.
Yeah, get to the wallet.
It's been so long now, like a new episode is going to drop as we record so I can barely remember anything. Get to the wallet! But now I'm blanking on what I said something about timestamps, hopefully
It's mostly a timestamp podcast now, yes, it's
50% cottage cheese 25% timestamps. Well, what's your rating there? Joey do you have one?
I'm gonna give it five out of five Huckleberry cobbler
I do remember laughing a lot, especially with all of the Arnold. What is that clicking?
Oh, is that my, that might be my headset.
Yeah.
Well, I'm just interested in how it's doing it because that was so like constant.
Anyway. doing it because that was so like constant anyway yeah they the whole talk
about machine gyms machine home gyms or machines in the home gym or whatever you
want to have everybody that as somebody who has zero machines in there I don't
even have a basic pulley like I don't have anything in there that could be
remotely described as a machine other than myself
I'm gonna go ahead. You have a landmine
Yes
Does that machine it's a simple machine. It's a lever. I mean, it's not a gym machine
There's a simple machine. All right, also basically so am I so
Gonna go ahead and give it a five out of five landmines
Right five to five neon green prime poppins
All right prime I wish I knew more about that I guess I need to be on more pre shows
That's the big push right now is I think we need to break the 36 some odd people for the pre show so we can get the grease on prime fitness.
The interaction with with massonomics.
Well, eventually Jeff needs to get on the pre show. Yeah, I see Ryan in the waiting room. I assume he just decided not to be on this episode.
Does he have to be let out of the waiting room? No, I don't know how he's just joined unmuted on
the this is essentially a party cast. Like I put it out there to everybody and maybe a possible
special guest. So this is essentially a party cast.
But Ryan, thank you for changing your name this time.
There he is.
You're allowed to unmute and contribute, my friend.
Okay.
Now that you have privilege.
Yeah, okay.
Alright, everybody welcome. Big Ryan. This is a Ryan, I think. Yeah. OK. All right. Everybody welcome. Big Ryan.
This is a Ryan, I think.
Hey, right. One of the Ryan's.
Oh, my. I'll never forget that.
Oh, well, you're you're not on video.
Anyway, thanks.
So we were talking about the new meme Randy Randy does anybody
want to give the breakdown so my voice isn't the only one on this podcast all
night I can give the breakdown yeah so Tanner posted a I think it was a reel of one of his double overhand deadlift sets.
I think maybe in this one he switched over to straps towards the end because he was reaching
his limit.
Good old Randall decided that he had nothing better to do than to put someone down for
lifting weights.
He posted a comment along the lines of,
the deadlift isn't a real lift. That's for people that are overweight and have ponytails.
I guess a dig at Tanner's hair and everyone just started piling on and making sarcastic replies. Some people just like call them out directly.
Uh, I, the next day I posted my deadlift video and I said, forgive me, Randall, for,
for I have deadlifted. And then the next, uh, day or maybe a couple of days later, I posted again,
doing some bench and said that that was the penance that Randall
had bestowed upon me for deigning to deadlift.
Yeah, he said something like really like, deadlifts aren't cool. That was my favorite
part. Deadlifts are not cool. It's just for fat people who don't look good. And let me
know when you can bench for
Oh five or something like that.
Yeah. That'll be far more impressive when you can bench four or five.
Yeah. And it's like, but Tanner can,
and yeah, just dummies on the internet.
There's just always dummies on the internet.
So he's become a meme. Yep. Yep. Good for him. I think I've also
adopted Deadlift are not cool as my motto because I love Deadlift. That could be like
the new merch drop. A line of like gym gloves like a tattoo like Deadlift. Cause he did it. Cause every time he typed it, it was in two words.
Yeah.
Dead lifts are not cool.
Dude, Ryan, are you playing video games while you talk to us?
I am.
Yeah. Yeah, I can tell.
Like your hands are in your lap and you're staring at a screen.
With the Metroid Prime going.
Really?
Yeah, that's so cool.
And anybody wants prime fitness?
No, not much.
I was waiting for him to say it because I was like, all right,
that's where Ryan's going with this.
So let's get to the chopper.
Did anybody watch the afternoon YouTube, the 46 minute video?
I've watched it.
I did not.
I can't do long form.
I started watching it.
I got about halfway through, but it's one that I actually
want to pay attention to.
Because normally for the longer stuff,
I'll just put it on in the background while I lift
and stuff.
But with that one, I actually want to see the plates.
And I mean, he's got an impressive collection.
Forty six minutes is like an episode, though.
Like, that's almost a movie.
It's a backlog.
Yeah. But it's like curated stuff.
It's it's it's like he has a museum in his garage, essentially.
And they just kind
of walk the perimeter, walk the floor and the 46 minute one. And then they, I think
it was Thursday or Friday, they released another one of just the plates, like his favorite
plates. And that one's like 35 minutes or something. So it's just two really long videos.
They must've been there for hours.
Yeah. They must have been there for hours. Yeah. He was saying that one of those
plates was like 15 or $20,000. Yeah. Prepare. That's just insane. Yeah. That's a lot of
money for plates. Yeah. Maybe one day when one my Neil Yeah, I was gonna say my Neil
pre related. Try gripsps maybe one day.
Um yeah that's pretty much the Mastinomics related stuff. I know that on the original
episode I had a few things I wanted to talk about and I think one of them was naps. How
do you guys feel about naps? Because god I love a good nap and I can go down for half an hour to
an hour and wake up refreshed and
ready to go. But apparently I'm like, that's not normal for people.
Not for me. If I go, if I go and I nap, uh,
I'll chances are I'll sleep for a half an hour or an hour,
but I'll just feel groggier when I wake up. The,
the one exception is if I'm sick,
then I will just spontaneously go down like fall asleep and asleep and nap, and I'll feel a million times better
when I wake up.
Yeah, I second that.
That's been my experience with naps.
And the funny thing with the aura ring
is it senses when you fall asleep or whatever.
And so the travel to Sioux Falls or wherever,
I fall asleep on the plane, and you wake up and open that
but it's like, Oh, did you nap? Yes or no. And it's like, yes, I did nap. And then it boosts your
like recovery score and stuff like that. And it also does like an annual review of like your
highlights of like what you did in the year or whatever, like how far you walked or like how
you're off your average sleep score or something like that. And the thing that always gets me is like the number of naps you took in the year.
And it's always like two or three. And it's like, I really need to work on that.
Oh man. Mine would be like once a week all the time. If it's my day off,
I'll get home and like we'll do everything in the morning. Right. So I'll have my lift and then
we'll go do our shopping. And by two o'clock, I'm like, Nope, shutting her down. And I'll have my lift and then we'll go do our shopping and by two o'clock I'm like nope shutting her down and I'll just have a full-on lay down. Right? And sometimes
it's half an hour like I said an hour and but I don't wake up groggier like I think
the one on Thursday I woke up saw the time and I knew my son was gonna be home on the
bus and I was just like up and outside within seconds.
So maybe I'm just like, like I said, I'm an anomaly and I just love naps.
If I don't actually fall asleep and I just kind of like sit in a recliner or
even lay down but stay awake the whole time, I usually feel better.
But if I actually fall asleep, and I don't know if it's because I just wake up during like the wrong cycle of sleep or what it is but an actual fall
asleep nap does not do good for me most of the time.
Wow.
Mofo is here.
He was on the episode that we lost so he's heard a lot of this already.
Are you joining us there my friend?
Yeah I'm just getting set up
All right, all right, all right
Cuz right now would be the time where I would have you read the ad but you're not set up yet
Speaking of ads I did want to I mentioned it on Thursday and I'll mention it again today AI ads grind my knurling
Right when they do that stupid voice you know yeah and I
just don't understand like I understand why for algorithm reasons and for the
ease of use reasons but it's like it's so impersonal and it's so ubiquitous I I
just want to start unfollowing every company that makes them right even if they're companies I support, if you do an AI ad.
Now I say this out loud and Tanner's gonna do one just to spite us.
But yeah, I'm unfollowing people that do that on purpose.
It's ridiculous.
I think that voice in general pisses me off, that TikTok voice.
Oh, I know exactly what you're talking about.
Yep. And I think somebody pointed out bells of steel did it.
Yeah. Yes. They have a bunch of ads with that.
Like, why me?
Why? Because you don't have to pay someone like for their time to donate.
They have good social media people, though.
Yeah, you're literally their own voiceovers. Yeah. Get a small microphone and talk directly into your device. donate. They have good social media people though.
Yeah. Get a small microphone and talk directly into your device and you don't need to
do that. Like you already wrote the copy would stop you from just reading it.
But I think it's cause that voice does trigger something in the algorithm to
bring it to people. And, and, you know, the,
I think the biggest money makers on TikTok
are people that just use that. Like they literally just get up and they download some Minecraft
footage and they do like an AI chat, GBT, and they throw it in there with the voice
and those people rake in like thousands of dollars a day.
Well, yeah, cause it's just such low hanging fruit. Like you can produce thousands of those
videos that you just have a page full of those and the
chances of someone clicking on at least one goes up exponentially.
And so you have a bunch of that, like slop content, a lot of eyes on it.
And so that's going to bring in the revenue.
And that's, I think part also why they use that, uh, text to speech voice,
because like they could have their social media person or whatever make like 30 of those ads and
one day and post them, you know, and so that gets a lot of
viewership. And then follow to the effort.
Follow for part two.
A related format that I hate is the the ones that shows like a
random clip from a TV show or a movie. And then instead of having any of the audio from it, they have someone like describing it, but it's always like, a man met a woman in a coffee shop. And it's just like the most inane description ever. And it's clearly just like an AI description. It's
Yeah.
Why?
The one of that I've been getting a lot of joy is the it's like the thumbnail will be a clip from a show or whatever.
And then like the text is like, I couldn't believe this happened.
Like the one simple trick kind of thing.
And then the person's face is like the YouTube thumbnail thing.
And it's like, it took me 30 years to figure out this one scene from King of
the Hill or whatever. And it's like you weren't even 30 years to figure out this one scene from king of the hill or whatever.
And it's like, you weren't even alive when the show was on the air.
A hundred percent.
All right. Aaron, are you here now?
Yes, I'm here.
All right. I believe you have an ad read for us.
Absolutely. So this episode is brought to you by chat gbt.
Just kidding.
All right.
This episode is brought to you by the grip strength challenge that's sweeping the nation.
The massonomics Texas power bar 28 and a half millimeter double overhand no straps, no hook
grip set of 10 deadlifts from the floor challenge.
The fine folks at massonomics want everyone to try this challenge. Even if you think deadlifts are not cool and for ugly and overweight dudes. My advice is to bulk
up on cottage cheese, throw down a horse stall mat, slap some strength kill plates on your Texas
Power Bar, and hold your own in memory of the 29 souls lost in the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.
If you think you can slam a fair amount of weights
in this challenge, post it on Instagram and be sure to tag Massonomics at Massonomics and
Randy at GatsRandy. That's G-A-T-Z-Randy. Randy. Thank you, Randy. Thanks, Randy,
for everything you've given us. I appreciate it, Randall.
You're going to the Hall of Fame with Brian that dude about the quads
that I ripped on for a couple days and Cody.
Man all their names are the same eh Brian, Randy, Cody, Gabe.
Alright so we do have a couple questions submitted by crew to get this going.
All right, all right, all right.
One of them was speculate wildly on what we think the mystery event at the Lift Hard Livizzi
Strongman is going to be.
I do know that I've been asked for some stickers that I have yet to ship out, but I do have
a while to do that because as I was told, Dilf dungeon deserves representation. Actually I showed
somebody a video of me lifting at work the other day and they started dying. They're
like what's the Dilf dungeon? And I was like oh no. Dad I'd like to follow. Yeah yeah yeah
I was like ah it's just a joke. We're anyway, we're building trophy husbands.
So what do you guys think this is gonna be?
Like, is it gonna be a big penis?
Is it gonna be another shield?
I mean, my mind always goes back to a horse stall mat drag.
Just load up 20 horse stall mats
and you gotta move them however you want,
50 feet or something. Do you think it'd be a horse stall mat dead you gotta move them however you want, 50 feet or something.
Do you think it'd be a horse stall mat deadlift?
Where instead of the car they just load up as many of those
and you have to leverage deadlift those?
That would be awesome.
He's gonna be so mad if I'm right.
He's gonna listen to this episode and be like,
son of a bitch, you keep that to yourself.
How about like a refrigerator drag? listen to this episode and be like, son of a bitch, you keep that to yourself.
How about like a refrigerator drag, like a refrigerator full of cottage cheese and La Croix's just covered in crew stickers.
Actually, I'm really enjoying this idea of horse nomads. No offense, Gary.
That's good. That's good.
Well, you know how at the world's... Hold on. Hold on. I'm going
here now. So you know how sometimes at the World's Strongest Man or even the Arnold where you'll do
a deadlift or a squat and then a keg will fall in? What if it's that but horse stall mats?
They keep just like it's elevated horse stall mat lifts until you can't do it anymore.
horse stall mat lifts until like you can't do anymore. That would be amazing.
And I feel like it would be easy to do, but hard to do at the same time.
Yeah, I mean, I've seen like the videos of Brian showing how they build those machines
for like the keg versions.
I have to imagine there would be a little bit of engineering in two to one, even if
it's just more small mats.
Jake on a pickup truck,
he's got two other people to help him pick it up and throw it on.
You have like two platforms going. So you're adding a horse fall to one while they're lifting
on the opposite one and they just have to keep going back and forth. Oh, that would be really
funny. And that's actually three things simultaneously. You got one guy in the middle that is a part of the competition that's, you know,
swinging horse, all mass back and forth.
And then you got two guys that are also like lifting as part of their, you know,
part of the competition.
And then it wants you to a certain point, they like rotate and then you got to
pull them off and then go back and do that again.
I do think the guy swinging the horse, all mass has it the hardest.
Oh, absolutely. Oh, absolutely. I'll deadlift before the guy swinging the horse, all Matt says it the hardest.
Oh, absolutely. Oh, absolutely.
I'll deadlift before I'll lift more horse stall mats.
Using a ratchet strap and rolling it up.
Oh geez.
No, actually I was funny.
Um, I think the one time I was at one of the meets and they sent me and this other guy, also named Joey,
and they're like,
can you just go and grab us some horse stall mats?
And we're like, yeah, sure, no problem.
So him and I are trying the clips
and we're carrying them across the parking lot.
And we're like, that's not working.
So we try rolling it up and carrying it across the parking
and that doesn't work.
And he just goes, I'm done with this.
And he rolls it up and throws it on his shoulder.
And he's like hunched
over and this dude is giant and jacked and he's just, I was like, are you okay?
And he's just like, just get the door, man.
Just get the door.
It was ridiculous how silly that was.
That's why my gym is quarter horse stall mats.
I have the small interlocking ones that are the same thickness, same concept, same material,
but they're easier to move
because they're quarters.
So long as it's the rubber, not the foam tiles, I think you're golden.
Yeah, they are rubber.
It's the same thing, right?
Because most horse stonemats are usually made in Canada, so I just got those, but they cut
them in interlocking puzzle things because I'm not carrying those down to the basement.
F that.
All right. So what do I want to ask next? I should have sent this to you guys.
So you guys could also help me with these. I might do that while you guys talk amongst yourselves for a moment. I was going to add one thought to the mystery.
I was gonna add one thought to the mystery carry. What if it's a giant like goose?
Just a giant silly goose.
That would be fun.
We do have one of those here in...
Oh god, I forgot the name of the city already.
It was on the way home from the left turn of the VZ.
Well, those are just your wild geese that are out there. Yeah, but there's a city. God I forgot the name of the city already. It was on the way home from the left hard to easy
Well, those are just your wild geese that are out there
Yeah, but what there's a city was trying to carry those the city that built a giant statue Steve And I went and saw it. I'll never remember. I'll never remember the name of that
Is it a key size statue of a goose as in like New York's the biggest state?
New York's the biggest state. Well, Joey's going through notes.
I had a question for everyone else that's on.
So has anyone besides Gary ever live streamed their workout to Instagram?
Because I caught one of Gary's live streams maybe a week or so ago.
And was just curious if anyone else has tried this.
No.
I'm pretty boring for that.
So. Well, the beauty is you don't have to be interesting.
You just turn on the camera and go.
Yeah, I feel like it would be a lot of me dancing in between sets
followed by swearing at my phone in between sets.
And I feel like that's not going to attract a huge crowd.
Well, I'm talking to myself and
the appropriate gestures and...
Constantly peeing.
Speaking of that, I'm going to go pee in a minute.
There's a lot of sitting around.
Oops, sorry, what was that? I was just going to say the viewership hasn't been high.
It's usually like one or two guys are in there for maybe like 30 minutes and they log off.
But yeah, it's it's sitting around between sets and I'll turn the camera around to where
they can see my face and I'll just talk to them.
They're chatting or whatever in the in the discussion and I reply and then hit a set
and come back and sit down again. Um, it's definitely not entertaining to most people.
Yeah.
And I don't think that's the allure.
I don't think that's why people are joining.
And you just hear in the background, 30 seconds remain like constantly.
I don't think that would get on everybody's nerves.
The, uh, the one I did Friday, I just had the Nattie Anthem playing the entire
like two hours. As is custom. I was looking for that song to put on like a reel or something
like that. It's not a sound yet. Yeah, it's not a sound in Instagram. No. I'm so bummed.
I had the perfect thing. Could not use it. Oh, yeah, believe me. I looked it's on Apple music
So my kids know it well enough now
Is every time we get in the car? I'll put it on
Yeah, I just had on YouTube
And it's like associated with the rich beyond eight hour arm workout apparently
on an eight hour arm workout apparently.
How is that what it's from? That's cool.
That's the video I had because it was like an eight hour version
or something of that song.
So you could do it along to the workout.
But.
Is that Natty Anthem that old?
I remember watching those
there is his like eight hour video, like a long time ago.
I guess I don't know.
I feel like when they played it after the whole Jujutsu thing,
it's the first time I ever heard the Nanny anthem.
Yeah, that was the first time I heard it.
They gave.
I must have been on the recap,
but they talked about a little bit of the history of it and where it came from,
but I don't remember what video like it was. It was definitely like a YouTube kind
of personality, but I don't remember them saying it was rich piano.
Hmm. Was, did they get that recap? Like while it was playing? Cause there was just like
a good five minutes where I couldn't hear anything that Tommy were saying. I really hope this is a bit because if this is like the rest of the
episode it's gonna be a problem. Yeah they did that multiple times I was like I
can't hear anything you guys are just saying. Yeah they blasted that every time they do it which
is fine and hilarious. I love it. I did send you guys a screenshot there in the Discord,
so if any of these questions spark that you want to ask somebody else in this
call, this is pretty much the equivalent of a party cast because I have no plans,
I have no goals, no friends, no love, no money, no gains. No abs.
No quads.
No calves.
That's actually the most painful one.
No calves.
I have my calves.
Okay.
Um, I do like, I do like the one and I actually think, yeah, you go ahead.
Maybe you'll ask the one I was thinking.
That was an ask one that that was asked during the missing episode.
Because I don't think anyone here was there for that. So it's an FMK.
And we can have, you know, big Brad, big Joey and big Ryan answer it. It's a FMK,
big traps, six pack abs or big biceps? I'll jump in first.
Right away, I'm just killing six pack abs.
That does nothing for me.
It doesn't help any of my lifts.
I don't need that.
I'm going to marry big traps because that's going to help pretty much everything.
It's going to help your squat.
It's going to help your deadlift, maybe not your bench so much.
And then I'll laugh with some big biceps.
I like getting a bicep pump after a good workout.
That was exactly my answer.
That was exactly my answer. That was exactly my answer when you were.
Okay. Yeah. Anybody else want to answer that one? I have a different answer.
I go with very big biceps and then F with some big traps.
Oh, the gun show.
You know, why would you marry over marry them over traps?
What's that?
Oh, I was you marry the biceps over traps just to be different.
Yeah.
I think it
sort of like.
Identifies what.
Strength or physical culture, like background you have,
because it's like the three different tropes, like are you super aesthetic? Are you like a strong man or are you just like a curl bro?
Like which one of these things are you like, which one are you going to marry?
Where the latsk?
Any like, does anybody ever pay attention to their lats, because I do all the time.
I love when I have a pump and I'll just walk out to Morgan
and look at my wingspan.
I think if you have big traps, I don't think you have to have a lats.
Yeah. There's no way you have one without the other.
Yeah. Jason's.
Perhaps you have a big just have a massive back.
I do enjoy having a big back for a little guy.
I once heard that that's what women look for in a man
is how their how their shirt hangs off their back.
I once heard that. I believe that.
Yeah, is is how you know, especially if he says he goes to the gym.
That's usually the first thing I look at is how does his hurt shirt hang off his back?
and I never really understood that until I
Got lots and traps and it's like oh now I see the difference, you know, it's
nice and loose I Will say the one time?
What was that?
Let me confirm that real quick my wife
Let me confirm that real quick with my wife. Oh, there you go.
My wife.
I was just going to say the one time that I feel like my biceps always look the best is when I'm
doing a mixed grip deadlift and that one bicep that's facing forward is just like, all right,
I look pretty strong in that pose.
Yeah, that's always the struggle one too, right?
The one that might pop. Yeah, that's the one you one too, right? Like, yeah, because that's what
my pop. Yeah, that's the one you're gonna pop doing your mix. That's why I hook. What
you say?
Let's shouldn't care. When she met me, when she met me, I was 150 pounds. So wasn't much
to show. So you guys knew each other when you were 13? That's 18 or 18.
Did he have hair then?
I did.
I did have hair then.
All go no show.
He did.
Little black seagulls.
Did you? Kind of. I can see it. Yep. fuck seagulls. Did you?
Kind of.
I can see it.
Yep.
I can see it too.
I want to see that now.
Yeah. I want to see that.
That's going to be the picture for this episode.
Keith aren't even going to be in it.
Just you and that flock of seagulls haircut.
Find a good one.
There was one that somebody asked and
I would actually put this differently. So the question was if me and Keith switched lives for like switched lives, who would last longer?
Okay, so I want to ask you guys that question. If me and Keith switched lives,
that question. If me and Keith switched lives, who would last longer or who would take the other one out?
100%. I would go. Yeah, go for it.
Sorry. I was on the surface level. Like you would assume that Joey would last longer because
going from that dad life to that dink life.
With all that spare time.
I'm so busy.
I know with how passionately you love your kids,
I don't think you could spend that much time away from them.
Yep.
So I think Keith might actually last longer because of that.
I think Keith would actually be good with.
I, he is actually, and like, so is Steph.
They, they put up with, you know, my kids showed up.
It was dinnertime.
My kids are losing their minds and they were great with kids.
I would say you're right. I would miss my kids, but I think Keith would.
Like if there was like a button where it was like, who's going to panic first.
It would be Keith. Oh
Yeah
I think I agree with with Joey on this
With with how Keith feels about change of any kind
Like forget changing lives if he just woke up in a room. He didn't recognize I think he would hit that panic button change. No
It's Not my spreadsheet, yeah. Yeah. What is this Mac book? How do I access my spreadsheets? Yeah, I
Believe that is the overall consensus, but I really liked Aaron's different
yeah, you're right like I hate being away from my kids and
You know everything that takes me away from them does drive me insane.
I just kind of feel like Keith would tap first. Like, the moment he had no... there's no quiet time.
Right? My quiet time is my drive to and from work.
And if I'm lucky, a beer after work because my wife says, go ahead and go out.
Right? That's my quiet time.
He doesn't stand a chance because his immune system just isn't prepared for the onslaught.
The onslaught. Oh my God. Plus my work people are all sick too and I'm just go away.
Like I'll work by myself all day if you just don't be here. Oh my God. Stop being sick around me.
Does anybody have a different answer?
Oh my God, stop being sick around me.
Did anybody have a different answer?
No. No.
How many bluey episodes before Keith loses his mind?
I think Keith could stand to watch some bluey episodes
if I'm being upfront with you.
It's like, I've said it before,
that show is geared towards kids
But it's made for parents it it really is
These guys think Keith and Nate will ever meet in real life
someday I
Think it'll happen by accident
They'll just run into each other at a mall
I think it will happen by accident. They'll just run into each other at a mall.
And like, not, neither of them will recognize each other.
They'll both be recording a video.
And he'll be like, oh look at us, we're at the mall.
And one of us is going to be like, is that Keith in the background of your picture?
That would be perfect.
That would be pretty funny.
Alright, do you guys have anything there that
you guys wanted to do? No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I'm actually a message Kevin for that other game that he did because you've got a few
people that weren't here. Yeah, no, that's a great idea. Somebody did ask, and I know Aaron you had a very good answer for
this too, would you ever go on TRT? Somebody asked me and keep this and I
had said no unless my doctor told me to and then I went off for a very good few
minutes about influencers who are consistently obsessed with tests. And I didn't mention any
names but I'll say it on this one. It's the Andrew Tate followers that are just utterly convinced
that like mayonnaise and ketchup and alcohol are ruining your test. And I had said no, like unless
I was told specifically by a doctor to do it, I wouldn't see a reason to do it. I'm not going to do it because of an influencer. I'm going to do it because of medical reasons.
And that would be my answer.
Right as somebody I think I mentioned,
as a
short balding, bearded, hairy back dude,
I don't have a shortage of tats. My testosterone levels
are fine and I don't and I eat all the things that influencers say you shouldn't eat. So
it's like, nah. Um, but I do think that other people might have different answers.
I mean, I'm not sure where my level is at, but if it was an issue and I do have my spare of issues,
I would definitely consider it.
But not just for the heck of it.
Like, oh, I'm old, I need to be on TRT.
I'm doing okay without it, I guess.
Yeah, I think my answer is similar to Joey's.
If my doctor said it was a really good idea or I had
a health condition pop up that TRT
was a good treatment for, but I'm 43.
I'm a lifetime intermediate.
I'm not expecting to win any world records.
I'm not expecting to push myself past what I can do.
I'm still making progress.
I'm still making progress. I'm still recovering and even if that stops, I don't see any reason
to to go on TRT just because my lifts aren't lifting as good as
they used to. Or cuz I wanna eat cheese. Yeah. I'm not
opposed to it in any means. Like either. It's just like, I can't justify like what the benefit for me would be.
Like, oh, my numbers would go up, but that still doesn't mean anything.
Like I'm not going to become like a world level athlete at that point or anything.
Like nothing dramatically is going to change.
Like the gym numbers will go up and maybe some, uh, body comp changes
or something like that, but outside of that, nothing is really going to change.
And similar to what Joe was saying, like I I'm 40 and, uh, like I'm kind of
approaching the hump or over the hump.
Like it's not going to be like for aesthetic things, I'm not going to
suddenly become an influencer where it like looks matter.
Yep. And I've made it this far in life without like supreme levels of exogenous
hormones in my system. I think I'll be okay. Another 40 years.
And there's this one in particular,
this one shirtless dummy in the grocery store and like I'm not going to sit here
and make fun of somebody for who they are and how they look. But like, you're 19, you're hairless, you don't, let's not even
talk hairline. You don't have a jawline. I'm not listening to you talk to me about test replacement,
like of anything. Like I'm 40. I have a, I'm an adult. I don't need to hear it from somebody like
you. Ah, with all that said, Aaron, do you have a different perspective?
So I do. So I've been on TRT for about a year and a half. I did not go, I did, you know,
I followed the doctor route and stuff like that. Levels weren't low enough for insurance,
but definitely were low enough to like affect daily life, you know, sleep, mood, metabolism, you know, all the fun stuff. So,
you know, tried numerous other things. It wasn't just like, Oh,
I'm just gonna hop on TRT and this is gonna fix everything
that's wrong with me. But tried like other interventions. That's why I have a
CPAP now. You know, my diet's a lot better than it used to be.
Still don't get enough sleep, but there's just not enough time
in the day. I think just like every parent. But yeah,
eventually got on it. And it's definitely improved everything,
or, you know, improving. It's not like he gets it.
It's not world changing.
Very, very low dose, which that's what I've been happy about.
Then I was just like, all right, you're just going to blast this.
And like, no, I don't need to blast anything because I'm going to have
other bad things going on.
And for me, like I, you know, back in like the.
20, almost 20 years ago,
when pro hormones were coming out, I dabbled with those
and those basically what has led down the road
to being like this too.
So I have a reason to be lower.
Yeah, so very different perspectives there.
And it's not like I said, not like some shirtless dummy
in a grocery store told you that you're eating the wrong foods and therefore your test is affected.
Right. You went on it because, you know, it mattered and it helped.
And I think that that's the. That's the approach I look at most of this stuff.
But I also hate the Internet with a passion more than most people, despite being relatively
active on it. I do hate that. Somebody's going to say something there.
I was just asking Aaron, like, have you noticed a difference, like a market difference
before going on and now that he's been on it for about a year?
now that he's been on it for about a year?
Um.
I'll say the biggest difference for me is the body tops
definitely like has improved.
Um, that couple with the CPAP is definitely improved my sleep,
um, the quality of sleep. So even if like I only get six hours of sleep, at least feel better versus like
I used to get like nine hours of sleep sometimes before everything. And
I just, it felt like I was in the time machine. Like just
close my eyes, woke up nine hours later, and I was still
exhausted. So it's not as bad as it used to be. Obviously, there's
still room for improvement. But like, and also, like my daily
calorie intake, it went from it being like barely 2,000, 2,100 calories
a day to, you know, usually around 3,000 now is my requirement and I can maintain or even
lose weight at that point.
So that's been like the biggest thing for me.
That's an hour.
Is it administered?
Is it like a Andra gel or what?
Do you have to go in for like an injection?
How's it?
I think it's a continuous injections.
OK. Keep it simple.
All right. So there we go.
Oh, wait, Ryan, you can say something.
No, no, he's going to stay muted.
He's unmuting.
OK, I'm back.
He's back.
OK, let's run for a second.
Somebody did ask us, what will we do when we run out of people to interview?
I don't I don't remember our answer.
Yeah, like there's 600 crew or something like that right now.
And we're only an episode.
Whatever episode one one one. 1, 1, 1.
Yeah, 1, 1, 1, 700, and 715 or something like that.
And crew are a renewable resource.
That's it.
They're a new crew born every day.
They are a finite resource.
And even then, sometimes I get guests on.
Sometimes we get people who aren't crew,
but are like crew
adjacent or interesting to crew right like I always have that and I've said it before
it's there's not a lot of people we don't get access to right like sometimes I'll just
message Tanner and be like yo I want to talk to this person and Tanner will send them a
message and you know Joey might message you or something like that. There's always room for those fun surprises.
Like when we had Siri or we had Tyler or some of those bigger names.
I did mention before, I'm aiming for Meg Squats, but she won't answer any of my messages,
which is fair because she probably gets a thousand messages.
But like, you know, and she is supporting member, by the way, she is crew.
Oh, well, she is crew.
Oh, well, she should definitely be on.
I know and it's actually a race right now between me and Tanner.
Because I know he wants her on and I kind of want her on ours first.
He was like, you know, she's so funny. And then I was like, well, we got to get her on.
He's like, well, we're going to get her on. And I was like, hmm, I might race you to that, sir.
I want to ask a different version of that question.
So if Tanner and Tommy decided to end the podcast,
but they still kept up with like maybe posting YouTube videos.
Crew was still a thing.
But the Mastanomics podcast ended. up with like maybe posting YouTube videos, crew was still a thing, but the
Masanomics podcast ended.
Do you think you would keep going with unpaid and underrated?
To an extent, I think we could and would, if I'm being honest, um, we just have too
much fun, but it would be just how much are they going to continue the discord?
How much are they going to continue the discord? How much are they going to continue that? Because like the podcast,
if I look at Mastinomics and they'll probably have a different assessment,
and I'm sure Tommy could tell me all about it. The podcast is the content machine.
Like the podcast is where half their inside jokes come from. And those jokes turn into
shirts and horse stall mats
and drink spotters and all of that kind of stuff right
yeah so I think that there would be a limit to what we could do
just based on them selling merch and doing YouTube videos
I don't see a scenario in which the podcast goes away and the rest stays I would see a scenario in which the podcast goes away and the rest stays. I would see a scenario
in which something else goes and the podcast stays. Right? Because the podcast, like I
said, feeds the rest of the universe of massonomics, the, uh, the MCU is I've called it. Um, and,
uh, I think as long as they have a podcast, we'll have a podcast.
I don't think if Unpaid and Underrated ended, I would still podcast.
I think that that would be a very hard leap for me to take is to do anything other than talk to you guys.
Right? I don't see me doing a bro podcast or, you know, anything like that. I've had
people ask me to be on their podcast and I kind of listened to one of their episodes.
I'm like, I'm not going to do that. I don't want to get on your gym bro podcast. Sorry,
man. Cause I'm not one at all. Right? You want to talk to me and sit down and have a
drink and ask me my tips to deadlift
or my tips to squat or like, what do you eat? Like that? Yeah, we'll do that. But I'm not doing that
into a microphone, right? Because this is a performative concept, right? The person I am
talking to you right now, I am the most genuine I can be, but I'm not the same person if you're just
sitting with me drinking a coffee or I could be a fun spin-off so for you and
you to start like a YouTube channel it's like have a drink with Joey and someone
just sits down next to you and starts talking. Yeah, but it would literally just be me going the fuck are you?
Like every episode is just me sitting at the bar by myself having a beer and then somebody walks up with a camera and they're
Like oh, I want to get your opinion on something and me going fuck off
Like that would be the end of that because that's how I am in actual real life
Like I don't enjoy being approached by strangers
in actual real life. Like I don't enjoy being approached by strangers.
Well, there you go.
You just have a series of Instagram reels off of that
and just have the Larry David, the what's this show?
Curb, the Curb closing credit music.
Have you say fuck off?
I think I would subscribe to that Instagram. I think it would take like it I would have to live near everybody
So like that would probably be a better thing to happen at like crew falls a lift hard live easy
Yeah, just can a bunch of them is just how many people can approach me to ask me my opinion about something
Without me telling them to fuck off
something without me telling them to fuck off. It's just like every member of crew coming up with their phone in my face, Joey, tell
me about this.
I really like that answer.
I think one of the biggest pieces of insight you had there was that this podcast is really
a spinoff of the discord.
But I think you're right that it would be hard
to maintain the Discord without the Masanomics podcast.
Yeah, and that's weird to have a podcast
based off of a Discord.
That is kind of weird when you think about it.
But yeah, that's what we are doing here, right?
We were just interviewing
people that join the Discord and want to have fun, and then occasionally bring in strangers.
Okay, no, I'm not answering that one. Rushmore of Massonomics guests. No, I'm not doing that.
Well, Aaron, you're still here. Yep. Okay, Aaron.
If you could run your own business, what would it be?
So I remember that. Yeah, I.
I've had a couple thoughts about that.
Not because I was able to hear this the other day, but I thought
about this in the past.
I actually would like to phone a gym, but I don't want it to be a business, like where it's making money. I want it to be like massonomics where it's self-sustaining. So it's not a matter of like,
I want to run this because, you know,
planning to live off of this or whatever.
Like I want to have a facility that is a decent size, has some badass equipment
and have enough members that it sustains and, you know, pays everything for itself.
You know, covers the rent, which out here is insane.
The insurance, all that stuff, and maybe, you know, a little bit of extra money to pay
for like buying new equipment. I would want to pay for our staff because I'm
not the type to go and clean up after people, so I'd rather pay for like
cleaning crew and stuff like that. Another thing that I thought about and I've actually I did do it a long time ago.
What really matter?
I think I have one around here somewhere, but I actually had a clothing company
back in 2006 to the five,
which is like kind of before it started becoming a thing to do.
Me and my buddies, we had I think four shirt designs, but we were just too broke to keep it going. So, but it's called For the Love. It was based around like art and music though. But yeah, I wouldn't mind bringing back some way that but I don't think it would be like lifting bass
or like that it would just be I think I'd want to go. I like
that the like art route what and whatnot where it's more about
like what the designs are not not fashion because I don't really give a shit about that, but you know,
we're like the designs on the shirts have like, you know,
kind of like an abstract art on them as well. That is the stuff that I used to
do.
You just kind of reminded me of all the lifestyle brands that literally just
sell t-shirts with art on them. And it's like, well,
when every t-shirt is just a t-shirt, it's not fashion or an art or a lifestyle.
Uh, Joey, you're, what was your, Oh wait, are we going to see one?
Yeah. I just happened to have it here. That's pretty cool. Yeah, kind of. So it's actually this is the LA River.
Oh, and then you got a paint.
You got a paint roll at the bottom.
So one of my buddies is one that designed everything.
I was kind of the money guy for a little while.
And then we had this saying on the back. Art is love, love is art.
Very nice.
That was with everything, so.
Well, thank you for that.
I was going to do some rapid fire.
Joey, what was your favorite childhood cartoon?
My favorite is probably He-Man.
I loved He-Man.
I loved He-Man. That was just, that was my jam. Okay, that was a quick answer.
Say rapid fire.
Yeah, Ryan.
What are the top things you're proud of?
My family got two great kids. My wife, my wife.
I'll say that I don't know. Pass.
No, that was a good answer.
Let me think about that a little bit.
We were out last night for karaoke,, um, we met this really nice
guy named Jared and he was just talking about how, you know, hard it is for him to find
a partner and how he wants kids and hasn't found the right person and everything.
And you know, I was there with Morgan and like, even I said, I was like, you like you know what man I did something right
in my life to end up with that woman you know as soon as I find out what it is
I'm gonna thank it because you know everything I've done the man I've become
every person I've interacted with that has shaped me to the person I am I now
have an amazing wife and two kids I love.
And I'm just in such a good position. So that's a really good answer because, you know, those
are things to be proud of because not everybody can get that, do that, and not everybody can
appreciate that. There's lots of people out there that have kids and a wife or a husband
that aren't proud of that. And it it shows so that was a really good answer
Gary Gary Gary something that you have to have on you every time you leave the
house
Don't say penis. I was thinking the obvious one was keys.
Yeah, I guess I need my penis.
I can do that.
Detachable penis.
Some of us get detachable.
Great song.
You get the picture is not your phone, wallet or keys.
Yeah, because my answer was phone.
Because my phone is also my wallet.
Like I'd one of those. If I was traveling and I lost everything except my phone.
I'd be fine. Because I could still pay for everything, still contact people.
But yeah, if you can't pick those three like shit chapstick.
Yes, like my bike that's usually what I was with.
That falls into like the the phone wallet keys kind of thing.
Toe bags, the grocery store glasses.
I can live without these. This is for like distant vision or if I'm like in front of a computer for a long time. Uh...
A skip in your step?
Skip in your step.
Thongyard?
Fire in my pocket?
A positive attitude.
And the friends we made along the way.
Yeah, like a water bottle or something, I guess.
Yeah, so I don't die.
I did mention I didn't want to go all night.
Did you get a hold of Kevin there?
I did.
Okay.
I got some of the stuff.
Are we going to adapt this to everybody or is it still just going to be me?
Because that sounds boring.
No, I'm boring.
No, I, cause he's the ones that you already heard.
So that doesn't make sense.
So I think what we'll do is, um, I'll pick, uh, they're broken down in threes.
Bold of you to assume.
I remember a single thing from Thursday.
But still you might feel like me. You might not remember it.
But as soon as I hear it, I really, yep. Yep. Yeah. I'll be
back in a second then.
All right. I'm trying to think. I also want to make sure that we
ask the ones that would least likely know these ones.
So, all right.
I'm going to start with Gary.
So basically the premise of this game that Kevin had designed, it's going to, it's real
or fake, similar to like two truths and a lie, except I'm going to give features of something and
you have to determine whether or not it's real or fake.
Okay.
And I'll give them to you separately.
All right.
The small rodent is native to forested regions of Asia.
It generates static electricity in its cheek pouches and can shock attackers.
They use tail movements for communication and balance.
This aquatic crustacean can shoot a bubble at 60 miles per hour that stuns
foes and creates a sonic boom louder than a gunshot.
This creature has had armor plates and will roll into a ball to increase his defense.
They always give birth to identical quadruplets.
So which one of those three is fake?
The electric mouse. That's a Pikachu.
Do you know what the other animals are?
I'm guessing an armadillo based on the rolling and then the sea creature.
I think it's a squid like they crack their beak.
I think I know it.
What do you think it is?
Mantis shrimp?
No, it's a shrimp.
It's a pistol shrimp.
Mantis shrimp, they punch.
The pistol strip actually shoots a bubble out.
OK.
So that's like the thing that's given last time.
And we were thrown off by the armadillo last time, too,
because it says that it gives birth
to identical quadruplets.
Yeah, that's a real sound.
Yeah.
All right, let's see.
All right, this one before your Joey.
This bird, the American Joey Joey.
Yeah, OK, perfect.
This bird stands over eight feet tall and is very intelligent.
It has formed a symbiotic relationship with elephants.
This blind rodent lives in underground colonies ruled by a
queen. These creatures are immune to most illnesses and have a
high pain tolerance.
This giant reptile has a venomous bite
and chainmail-like armor.
They frequently take down foes more than twice their size.
Which one do you think is fake?
Well, I'm pretty sure that last one is a Komodo dragon,
but I could be wrong.
The middle one sounded like a mole rat possibly.
And I'm going to say that the first one was Big Bird.
And I'm pretty sure Big Bird isn't a real bird,
even though he's real in my heart.
That is 100% accurate on all fronts.
You guys are actually getting these better than me and Keith.
Yeah.
I'm also asking a little bit different than Kevin did,
because Kevin would ask that to describe the features
and then give him a chance to answer it.
So asking them all together is kind of giving you less time
to even think about it.
Plus, you might think about the other animal, too.
All right. So see.
All right.
You ran this be the last one.
Um, no, you know, but my.
Huh? Oh, you gave it a head shake.
I was like, you don't want to end like.
Right. The small but mighty creature has thick fur and tough but loose skin.
It is immune to most poisons and antagonizes much larger predators for no apparent reason.
A small hairless nocturnal mammal in rural Central America, it preys on livestock by
puncturing the neck and draining blood.
And it has a furry waterproof body, a wide duck-like mouth, sharp
venomous claws and lays eggs.
Which one's real?
Which one's fake?
Obviously the last one's not real.
That's what's making sense.
Okay.
Keith, did they go in the dark too?
Um, what was the second one again?
A small hairless nocturnal mammal in rural Central America.
It preys on livestock by puncturing the neck and draining blood.
OK, I guess the first one.
Not be real personal fake.
Yeah.
All right, so the first one is real and it's a honey badger. Oh
Sorry to interject but
The honey badger was actually the animal that I got
O'Reilly media to put on the book that I published about Hadoop security like ten years ago
Cuz honey honey badger don't give a fuck
Exactly.
Yeah.
Perfect for a security book.
Yep.
The second one is the Chupacabra?
It is.
Oh.
I was thinking like Vampire Bat or something.
No, Vampire Bats have hair.
The Chupacabra does not.
Well, I mean, allegedly.
Does it say hair?
No.
Oh.
We all know the Chupacabra.
Well, the last one. Platypus. the the the
the
the
the
the
the
the
the
the
the
the the Introduced random people to the idea of a platypus, but they're still learning things that they didn't know about the platypus
Right like the bioluminescence was most recently discovered and then like everyone some while I'll just be scrolling and I
Get this one guy and he'll just be like, oh, did you know this about platypus? I'm like, no, nobody knew that
Why do you know that?
You're making it up as you go along
Anyway, the platypus is a made made up animal that just happens to be real.
Yeah. Like one day I've got to meet a platypus.
I think this has to happen.
I need to go out of my way to find and meet a platypus.
And then I have seen one done by its awful, awful.
Their stingers are in their butt.
Aren't they?
They're in their hind legs.
Yeah.
Flippers.
Just.
Their feet, their feet like, like, are kind of like flipper it.
They're like, yeah, I think they're webbed.
They're webbed.
And then they got a little barb like underneath it.
And that's where the venom comes from.
Like Assassin's Creed.
Like these little fuckers are Assassin's Creed.
Yeah, dope, dope.
Yeah, those exist in real life.
All right.
Well, if anybody has anything else, we can wrap it up.
If you guys wanna keep chatting, we can keep chatting,
but I'm out of ideas, I'm exhausted.
I need to go touch my wife's butt, it's gonna be great.
They love that.
That's a thing.
Like if you didn't usually, if you didn't touch their butt, like one day, like I'll
walk by and not touch it.
And she's like, Hey, I know I complain, but why did you do it this time?
Like, why are you acting different?
In honor of all the new gates, I think we should at least touch on this question.
Okay.
If you were in a trial by combat, what member of crew would you have fight for your freedom?
So if you have a tag team champion or a partner of a crew member who's going to be fighting
alongside you, I don't, I think they do.
They have to be current.
I think that one.
I think that's more designed like Game of Thrones, where you're not going to fight.
They're going to fight for you.
OK, for your honor.
Yeah.
All right.
Who wants to answer that?
I forget my last time.
I forget my answer.
I think I said they have to be.
That's if they don't have to be current.
But using the, you know, Rowan gave
because after he's done with Strongman, he's going back to fighting.
Yeah. But you know, that's how I'm going to pick.
It's definitely going to be a win there.
That was the layout.
I actually don't know, because like, I feel like a lot of crew
were just like giant teddy bears, but at the same time, like
bears are very protective protective too. So,
yeah, who knows? I know there's a couple of them that do like BJJ, but I also question how dangerous
actually is BJJ outside of BJJ. I think I know it's, that's not a challenge to anybody to tell
me I'm wrong. I just like, you watch a karate TV show or a karate movie or a karate tournament.
And you're like, yeah, that against anything else isn't effective.
Right.
Um, does any crew do Krav Maga?
I don't think so.
I wonder, cause I feel like that's the most dangerous of the.
Hand-to-hand combats is Krav Maga.
Yeah. And like, okay, so my answer is any crew that does Krav Maga.
Or Tan. I've got, does Tanner count his crew? Does he, does he have a supporting membership? I don't
think he does. Oh, that's a good point. I think we've, We've touched on this before and I want to say Dodds but he's
not feeling good lately but after being picked up and swung around like a ragdoll by him,
it's a scary, scary man. Maybe Keith could analyze somebody to death.
Right, like that would be, please fight for me and just just tell them about
all your bars. Nate is an AI so I assume that he can't actually be killed. Yeah so that
would be a good challenge. I've got an answer that might be a little too serious Goose.
I actually just thought of one too. Go ahead.
Oh, well, mine was going to be, I would pick myself,
because I don't want to see any fellow crew die for me.
Fair point.
Yep, I'll let that one hang there on purpose.
I'm going to say Murph, because she's so LARP adjacent,
that she's got sword combat.
And that's a kind of an honest answer. Like, I think she's the only one I know that's a good answer.
A sword with intent somewhere.
If you're my you're my child, I conduct combat choice.
You get to fight with a sword award.
It has to be a sword award.
Yeah, sword award.
This fucking fly.
I'm going to get this thing.
Got you good you fucker.
Joey you just timed that perfectly to my discord notification sound so it sounds
Nope.
I super trooper reference that one.
All right.
Anybody else have an answer for that?
Maybe big Tyler.
You're just a big beast.
He's a strong dude.
That's a good.
I don't want to face that.
And Gary is going to abstain.
I say
maybe big Toby.
Big blue eyes.
Actually, yeah.
Go ahead, Aaron.
I'm sure if I see you
there, you're going to give up.
Yeah, I was going to bring up the emu too.
He's chased down an emu.
I'm not messing with that guy.
All right, guys.
I guess I got to do the affiliate codes before we go.
Code unpaid at Obsidian, Barbell Plate Snacks Home Gym Con Belt Fed Strength
Freedom Fitness Equipment and the Strength Co apparel
Keep in mind some of those are crew only
Most of those should be crew only except for Obsidian Barbell Rescue and Plate Snacks and Home Gym Con so the rest of those
Should be only crew
We don't necessarily get to kick back on all of them
But all of them have given us this opportunity to help save you guys money and just kind of show support to fellow crew members.
You can find me at joey underscore molesko, M-L-E-C-Z-K-O.
Hey, fun thing, I might have my own affiliate code coming for somebody very soon, And I think if you guys all thought about it hard enough,
you'd know who it is.
I'm just waiting to get the approval of the code.
We will not be advertising them on this podcast.
That will be my own specific one,
because it might interfere with the sister podcast code.
So.
What's that, Jägermeister?
I wish.
I've been bugging them
Just I was I don't even want like a code. Just give me a Jagermeister lifting crew
Aaron figured it out pretty quick
Just give me the Jagermeister lifting crew
Give me a shirt that I can just sell to people and or just like a logo or something
shirt that I can just sell to people and or just like a logo or something.
They've said I can do what I want.
They've told me to go ahead, but I don't want to get into the realm of copyright infringement.
And where do we find you guys start with you, Ryan.
Uh, discord, big underscore Ryan's, um, Instagram is angry monkey.
Joey.
Uh, I'm on discord as Monkey. Joey. I'm on Discord as BigAmericanJoey and on Instagram, it's joey.echeveria.
And if you forget that, it's pronounced exactly how it's spelled.
Is that Spanish, your last name?
It is. It's from the Basque region of Spain.
Yes, that's one of the greatest
things of all the languages I have ever studied and read. Spanish if it's there
you say it. There's no hidden letters, there's no hidden anything, there's a few
accents but like not you know anything wild. If it's there it's exactly as it's
spelled. I love that about Spanish.
English and French, even well, German, not so much. But English and French, like we have so many hidden letters and annoying. Anyway, anyway, Gary.
It's an interesting concept how many languages I have learned and forgotten in my life.
Go ahead.
No hidden letters.
Big Gary on Discord and NPC underscore Gary on Instagram.
My own name has hidden letters.
Aaron, where do we find you?
Yeah, you guys can find me at the no wine seller and then also at KeithHoneycutt73 on
Instagram. Yep. Keith honey cut 73 on Instagram.
Keith here, by the way.
Actually, one funny thing we did is we were sharing the notes with Kevin and Nate for
last week's episode. And so the question I was asking was like, if you could have one hype person
the question I was asking was like if you could have one hype person for any lift who would that be? And Keith changed it to one crew member right so I kind of said no I don't want this limited to
crew because a I don't want anybody's like feelings to be hurt in crew like I don't like the idea of
singling out a crew member for any reason I was was like, but also like, let's go living dead,
famous, not famous. Like who would that be? And then Kevin responded with Kevin, colon,
I have a really good answer from the Lift Hard, Live Easy. And then I responded with Keith here,
by the way, that's a great idea. And you know what? Nobody gave me kudos for that joke.
That's a great idea. And you know what?
Nobody gave me kudos for that joke.
The, those Keith here, by the way, posts got me every single time.
They were just so hilarious.
Well, and you know, Ryan, I got to thank you for that because it was like, it started again,
as I explained, where I just responded to
somebody with something and then they were like, but I thought you loved it. And I was
like, Oh, they think I'm Keith. So I just started to say, and then Keith responded
by saying Keith here. So that's when I just started doing everything with Keith here,
by the way. And then you posted that thing of me, right? With the skeleton me. And it just went from there. That was
the most fun I've had in so long on social media was being Keith here, by the way, where
I very much assumed people realized I was not Keith. But Keith's main concern was obvious.
But his problem was he thought people would think it was him and I was like there's no way man
Dumb shit that I was saying
There isn't everybody went like maybe they saw the first one and went what's Keith doing?
Then they saw the next one and was like, oh, that's Joey like every person would have guessed that but yeah god
I loved doing that. That was so much fun
Said you were taking it over. So I know I said that right away, too.
Like, by the way, I'm taking this over. Yeah.
Anyway, next time, the next time I do with Keith here, by the way,
we get all run up by Keith first, because again, don't want feelings.
All right. And with that, I guess, honk Hong Kong, Hong Kong, Hong Kong.
OK, OK.
Oh, wait, we forgot to say see you next Tuesday.
Ah, three, two, one.
See you next Tuesday.
See you next Tuesday.
See you next Tuesday. Hong Kong.
