Big Tom, ErnHGPT here. Before we get started, I wanted to note that we had a slight hiccup during recording this week. Due to this hiccup, some of the audio may sound a little different from normal. Apologies in advance. Now to the show. Hong Kong. Anyway, let's get busy with this podcast. Let's see what Blurblurblur puts in the episode this week. He's gonna literally miss it all And welcome back to episode. It's a MacBook. It's not a phone. It is I'm gonna get a MacBook one of these days It's just not this week. I was pricing them out yesterday. It's episode 5 to 5 not one it is an episode

Oh, yeah, good call. I gotta cut that whole fucking thing. God damn it Nate I'm gonna just mulligan that whole thing That's going in for sure dare you get the episode right It's just well usually I I don't screwing it up. I know, I know. It's just, well usually I, I don't know. It's just bald right in my face. I didn't even have, I tried to mess you up and it didn't work. No, I did it myself. Yep, sure did.

So, nonetheless, this is episode 525 of the Unpaid Underrated Podcast, a podcast by crew for crew. I'm one of your hosts, Big Keith, joined as always here by Big Joey. Uh-huh. And this week we have a special guest crew, Big Samantha Scardino, or Big Scar as we know her. Hey guys. Howdy, howdy. I know, we've just been dominating the conversation

for the past 15 minutes, sorry Scar. You're good. Are you, is it actually, is it still your last name? Did you guys, I know you've been, you're engaged. I did not change my last name. Okay, perfect. That's gotta be a lot easier for just being in like your profession then, right? So it's like, you don't wanna like

be like Mrs. you know, Hoffman, right? Mrs. Birdwatcher to you guys. Yeah. That would be... I remember as a kid, like growing up, like you'd had like the same teacher or like you'd look back and like your teacher who, you know, she did get married and took the other person's name.

It's like, oh, that's not her name anymore. It's just that old processing, processing that sometimes. I mean, but also this isn't like the exchange of property anymore. We don't have to do that. Right. We don't have to like change names. And also my last name is every vowel in the alphabet or every consonant. And my wife's last name is a very pleasant French room.

It's just all vowels. And she was like, yeah, I don't want your nightmare of a last name where every consonant is in a row. So she's like, I'll just keep mine. We're not going to hyphenate it. Cause then that's like I said before that that's even worse. That's the quick brown fox Jumped over the dog. It's everything so she opted out of it But also welcome scar. Sorry. Yeah

Do you got anything you're drinking over there this week's Sam? Yeah, I have the ice brand They're really good, and I have the ice brand. They're really good. And I'm the slowest drinker on the planet. So I need something with a cap so I can. Yeah. The amount of the amount of soda cans that I dump out the next morning that are like a quarter full or half full that Stephanie left on the end table. It's like an all pal. I'll pound like a stale when sometimes it's just like then it's like a quarter full or a half full that Stephanie left on the end table. It's like, and I'll, I'll, I'll pound like a stale when sometimes, but it's just like, then it's like a stale sparkling water is literally just

like water, water, water. Yeah. I feel like it has no flavor at all. Like it's musty flavored water. Yeah. It's just like, and sometimes I was like, Oh, that wasn't the best idea. That's called, that's called wife water. Yeah. Like that's a thing. Like just like wives leave water everywhere. I'm bad with like water bottle, water bottles like I'm looking at. It's a broom, but it could be worse. I've just got a waterloo this week. Nothing special.

Yeah, I got nothing special. I got 24 hours of work in the next two days, so I'm not doing anything great. Um, I'm wearing the my favorite Mastodon mix adjacent shirt the old unpaid and underrated tee it's a good one I love how it fits. Scars got on a what do we got on over there is that the is that the nice rack shirt? Yeah the nice rack shirt that I got from the lift hard live easy last year. I love that. Does that get a lot of comments in the gym and when you're wearing it?

I did because I wore it for St. Patrick's Day because it's green and I did wear it to a workout. And one of the coaches kind of like definitely like I saw him do a double take and was like, nice. Yeah, it's like. It's nice. Do you remember to wear a mastodon make sure this week to Joey? No, I don't blame you Sometimes I did not have one until like five minutes ago. No

The past two days have been hell I'm literally wearing the shirt that I took off yesterday because it was too hot To put on a sleeveless shirt and then I was just raging in the back seat and I was just like oh shirt So yeah, it's a it's no I'm gonna get into it people will whine I will I got a quick little story so I was driving in Rochester today and there was a guy in like a pickup truck with the whole back of his windshield rear rear real whatever the back what the hell rear windshield yeah I guess for some reason I think there's another word but none nonetheless

It was all a Cleveland Browns logo on it and stuff So I was like, oh I had like a little kindred spirit moment right up until the motherfucker Did any legal lane change and I was just like this fucking guy. I hope he wrecks like fuck that guy. I Was so like oh cool Go Browns and it was just like I can't support you in any way shape or form because For no reason you're like just zigging in and out of traffic cutting people off with no turn signals like God So you were friends until you weren't basically I was just I definitely it basically told me that like I Hate shitty drivers more than I love the Browns, I guess

At least in that moment because it has at no point was I like well, though he could be the best Browns I guess at least in that moment because it has at no point was I like well they'll he could be the best Browns fan in the world that's not a redeeming quality for what you just did did I put the front squats thing in there did you know it was definitely not me I don't do so I did because I I thought I put it in there and then when I read it today, I was like, did I do that? But, um, yeah. Did I do that? This week, I did my first like actual Olympic, uh, rack position on the front squat. God, my fingers still hurt because before I've always done just like the shoulders, uh,

you know, the elbows cross the arms cross whatever. And you know, it's fine. But like, if you don't want to hire reps, the bar just starts sliding down. You're in that like, whatever. And you know, it's fine. But like, if you don't want to hire reps, the bar just starts sliding down and you're in that like, zerg, zerg tree and it towards the end. So actually be able to do the Olympics. It was interesting. I've I don't know if I'm just getting more mobile with like strongman shit more overhead press stuff. Or was just like, I could have always done it and just never did. Because I know I

tried it a couple times, just, you know, think the bar just literally fell out or my hands hurt. So, you know, that was an experience. So I will have to probably start doing a lot more front squats in my future with some medical stuff I got going on. Um, I did get, I think I talked about it briefly in the past. I got my CT scan last week or something, and then I saw I had a follow up to the doctor today and they were basically like, so good news is no cancer, no fucking tumor, no nothing inside, nothing visible in the in the the the ct scan that's like

you know to be worried about that's like gonna cause any kind of you know negative issues other than just like i have a lump on my neck now um and it's just they think it's just from the the trauma from like barbell back squatting for you know 10 years basically um they don't really know why it popped up and why it hasn't spread and why it hasn't gone away but they did recommend just but not putting any pressure on the back for an extended period of time and see if that does it You know, I've done a couple months here and there of not squatting with anything in my back But then I kind of recently, you know, I found that as long as I don't put anything on it I can still do an SS well I could still do an SS be on it with no issue

At least no pain in the moment that is and then I can low bar right underneath of it. But they were like, even doing that might be agitating enough to not let it heal. Cause I think it's just like a buildup scar tissue, essentially, or a buildup trauma area that just hasn't had a chance to heal. But I don't know, it's been two years. I think if it was going to heal, it would have healed by now. But I might run like a full six month block or something and just only do front squats and circles I still haven't committed to that yet but I've floated the idea out to my coach so

we'll see but yeah I'm not dying you guys are stuck with me so it's just you're stuck with a little bit more me because I got this fucking you know half a tangerine sized lump on my c7 that's just I'd had Stephanie take some pictures of it the other day and I was just like fuck that really is not great looking but Not much I can do about it. Maybe it's good eyes. Yeah, that's I was like There's that family guy episode where he has that thing on the shoulder and they cut it open and it's another version of him That talks like this

And he's just so excited to see the world. Wow, like he's the opposite like maybe it's the opposite of you Maybe that's the evil Keith that likes purple Could be I wonder I I will um, I want the crude I don't actually I would say like it'd be funny to have like a contest to name it But I really don't want to like it's fun Like I can I'm okay with it, but I really don't want to be like poked at too much with it But I should I should name the thing like I just don't want to be like poked at too much with it. But I should, I should name the thing. Like, I just don't know.

Cause we named when Stephanie had her tumor. Well, I don't know. It's not a tumor, but Stephanie had a tumor and we did name it. Yeah. Oh my God. My buddy, my buddy who's actually a doctor, like he's a legitimate, like, you know, he's a, you know, a legit doctor. I sent him like the CT, uh, the radiologist report.

So he kind of give me some feedback, Just the over text and his response was like in Arnold voice. It's not a tumor But not enough about me you got something there Joey Sure Geez, I had to like two or three things on here. Yeah, we got we got plenty of general We had any we had no general topics like a half hour ago and yeah, and actually helped me throw a couple in there. But just like obvious stuff that I forgot about. Yeah. Yeah, I'll do two of them. I want to be the first to welcome big Stephanie honey

cut to the crew. You know, it's about time you join crew, especially now that I see she's doing some lifting and I'm very proud of her for that. I know that on the wives episode, we talked about some barriers she was going through. So, Hey, welcome. We love you. Always have.

Um, it's not often we say the better half and mean it, but she is damn near perfect. She is very funny. Um, yeah. Uh, I added one of these, the Brita filter. So w you know, we live with my dad and he's been using Brita filters because we live in the country and we are on not well water, but on like the one where you fill up the pitcher. Yeah, the Brita jug.

Yeah. Okay. And he's been using the same jugs for years. So we've just been cleaning them and replacing the filters and cleaning them and replacing the filters. And finally, I saw that buying a new one with filters at Costco was actually cheaper than buying new filters. And this one's 10 glasses instead of six. And then I was like, I'm in,

let's do that. So I brought it home, put it on the counter. And then I went about my day and the middle of the night I got up to use it and the thing has a light on it. Okay. I've never seen a Brita filter jug with a light. And can I tell you I had a legitimate, we used to be a proper country moment where I saw that light light up and then I yelled in my head, the hell is that? Not everything needs lights needs lights nowadays can we just have filters and another battery you got to change now yeah right it was just in like and that's what my dad said he was just like they're just trying to make you buy more filters by artificially declining it when it goes red

they tell you to buy a new one but in my head I got I legitimately had like a not everything needs lights what are we going with this? So I thought that was a pretty funny. We used to be a proper country moment. We also used to be a proper country when we only had like five or six discord channels. And now I think we have like six to nine, if actually it's probably more like a dozen.

There's so many in there. There's a lot. There's so many discord channels. And like, I get it. They're all relevant. You know, I just uh you know change change no change change bad so it's just like that acclamation time period of like all right this is how this is the order of things and it's just but it makes it so much harder to keep

up on stuff like uh when Stephanie joined the discord she didn't realize it wasn't just like a big group chat thing like she thought like so she had no concept of like the channels and stuff. And she was like, wait, there's more like, what the fuck is all this? And then I was just just turn off all your alerts except when you're tagged and then just look at it every now and then. But yeah, so many channels. I had I had I had a legitimate like. Moment like when I was like, now I have to learn this.

It's fine. But now I have to learn this. It's fine. But now I have to learn this. But then I remembered we're not going to use any of the channels like they're supposed to be used. Like we're gonna we're gonna mess everything up. So go ahead, name all your channels Tanner, name them whatever you want. I really the one it does irk me when people put the most random shit in like because he did the supporting your supporting members channel Literally to make it easier for him to give people fucking credit on the podcast on the fly because it's not his job to keep A secondary document and just fucking log every time every week

So having just being able to scroll through like 20 comments to pull out the 15 that are actually relevant Versus having to scroll through a hundred comments to pull out the three that are relevant. Like I get eliminating all the YouTube shit from that page. But I also get just how he complained and he was just like, can you guys keep this to what it's supposed to be? And we all just were like, no. And then I think I said, like I thought this was for those of us that missed the Facebook group where we could just post dumb shit in this chat group. I thought this was for those of us that missed the Facebook group where we could just post dumb shit in this chat group.

I thought that was pretty funny. Just completely hijacking it. Uh, big thanks to, uh, David Hunter, big David Hunter, one of the David's, one of the Davids for his, uh, I think it's David Hunter. Like, you know, I still can't really tell them apart half the time, but, uh, it's basically the only David left because the other David's again, you know, we get a, we get a good comment from him once a month and that's about all we can get from the other David.

Yeah, but he's going through some of the stuff. Let him, let him sort that out. Then he'll come back. But yeah, another AI country song that does not sound like the other ones, but at least this one took pot shots at us. And that's important. I had to listen to it a couple of times and there was some like, there was like levels But at least this one took pot shots at us. And that's important. They were some good jabs. I had to listen to it a couple of times. And there was some like, there was like levels of jabs. And I didn't take anything offensive. I laughed at most of them.

Oh, they were all funny. But at first, I was like, did he call me a keyboard warrior in that song? A little bit. What was it? Tough online, but not in person or something. Yeah. And I was like, but I'm neither.

I'm sure I'm busy. Yeah. No, no, no. He got us both. It was actually really good. Did you get a chance to hear that one, Sam? I have not, no. But I'm very much looking forward to it.

Yeah. It's on the YouTube. Stories periodically. Um, we got to get blur, blur, blurred, actually like link it somewhere on our blog post. Uh, it's common. He's working on so many. He's so busy. He is the busy. He out of like, I do feel that he is legitimately busy because yeah, like three kids helps

runs his wife you know helps with the part-time florist yeah but that and he manages like 17 websites and then does like 30 other things for friends when they ask and then has to help us out one over here so yeah Nate is legitimately busy I will give him credit for that you want to do, rate the episode, new drop, and then two more little randos? Yes, let's do that. So last week's episode, I dropped the ball on that one.

I haven't written anything down on that one. Powerlifting myths. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So that was, the funniest thing about that one really for me was just that Tanner legitimately did not post the link in the channel It had to have been and there's still some some debate on where it was posted because everyone's giving me a hard time saying It was there and I'm like it was never Legitimately ever posted in the podcast. It had to be somewhere embedded in the invite

Never saw it literally sat there for a fucking hour waiting for a link thinking it was just running late I felt like such an asshole and then when sunday around, like I think I had some snarky comment about how no one heard this before. And then Anthony was like, what are you talking about? Like, I listen to the whole thing. And then I thought he was gaslighting me. So then there was some back and forth. And he was busting my chops.

And it was just really funny all the way around. But yeah, last last night's episode was definitely posted in the link and got to listen to all that. But yeah, the powerlifting myth. It's good episode. Always enjoy the boys shooting the breeze. And I will go ahead and give it a five out of five missing links. I am muted. So that was not a helpful comment. Sam, what do you got?

Yeah, I liked it. I mean, I compete in powerlifting. So I've heard a lot of those. I think one of the ones that they did not talk about and granted, they're not women in powerlifting. But one of the biggest myths that I hear for female lifters is don't lift too much or you'll get bulky. Mm hmm. And I just want to be like, bitch, I'm trying. It's hard. Yeah bitch, I'm trying. It's like it's hard. Even I hear that. And it's just like,

um, like I want to get strong, but I don't want to get big. And I'm just like, pick one. Thank you. Don't you don't get to do both. Well, I don't want to get bulky. You won't trust me. I love just the like, OK, well, like, how how about like let's let's lift a little bit And then when you're at a position where you're happy then you just stop you can just stop then Mm-hmm, and we all know that that's never gonna happen

I know like like I just want to do this one deadlift Get to this weight and then I'll stop like that's where I want to end. No, no, you won't That's that's why they make point seven five plates and one point two five plates and different fields and pivoting to strong man and pivoting to this that and the other and you know, picking up rocks and all that shit. So yeah, it's a fitness is a never ending journey. Yeah, but I really liked the episode. I'm glad that they finally had the Fairlifes that I know and love. Oh, yeah, yeah, the good Costco ones.

The good, because when we were talking about it on the previous one, that was like the Fairlife like chocolate milk, and I was like, wait, that's not the right one. Yeah, nope, not at all. These ones are like the ones that are- The gas station one is like 22 grams. Like, oh, that's not enough.

No, it's like, it's a cult within, like it's its own little cult. Because when you see them, you're like, oh, that's not enough. No. It's like, it's a cult within, like, its own little cult. Because when you see them, you're like, oh, yes, thank God. And I'll have them in the classroom and see another student. And we'll kind of have like a moment of like, yeah, you know. We got the goods. So I will give that five out of five Fair Life cult classics. Nice.

You know, I actually could probably also go on a whole episode about powerlifting myths. I don't. I found myself yelling in the car again, you know, Sumo is not cheating because the sport isn't how you deadlift. It's get the weight up, locked out and put back down. Uh, but I would never sumo. You know what I mean? Like it's like good for you for doing it. You figured out that I'm never going to do it.

It's things like that. I could go off for hours. Do you have to be fat to be a powerlifter? No. Does it help? Probably like things like that, that like I could do that for a long time. Um, the ax body spray stuff. Oh, yeah, for sure.

For sure. Remember that that was big and everybody was talking about how great their commercials were. No, the commercials were shite. They are so terrible. So yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and give that one a five out of five bod body sprays ripped ripped abs, ripped abs. Hey, I got one.

No, go ahead, go ahead, go ahead. Well, I just I just I have like a like a less than two minute story topic, I guess. It's just so does everyone like as a kid, obviously watch commercials because we had cable TV, all that. And then when we didn't have cable and got on streaming. Remember that like five, the 10 year era before commercials came back into streaming and it was just like, I didn't watch a commercial for like 10 years straight

on anything, cause all I had was streaming. Like that's when I say we used to be a proper country, it was that fucking small little chunk of time where I had zero ads in my entire fucking life. And now I'm just bombarded with ads everywhere and I'm not paying more subscriptions just to fucking eliminate an ad Just have a product that's good enough to like not I don't know

You're not wrong because I had that thought today watching YouTube when I got bombarded with a one minute of commercials and you know, I work in telecommunications and You know, I've done some study on on this type of stuff and you know, they call Millennials the the cord cutting Generation that's what they call us. The cable cutting generation is All of us cut cables so that we could stream but then somebody figured that out and As soon as they started losing money on cable, they started pushing those ads into streaming So all of all the people that are like, oh, I don't pay for cable, it's too expensive. Well, how much do you spend on streaming unless you're illegally

pirating, which I don't have the time or patience to illegally stream things. I get it. I understand pirating is what it is for some people, but ain't nobody got time for that. If I want to watch something, I want to watch something I want to watch it and I want to go find it make sure it's not a shaky cam You guys remember shaky cam bootlegs? Yeah, just some guy with his camcorder Sometimes still have those if you yeah, there's very few movies that I want to watch so bad that I'll watch that version Yeah, because I don't go to the theater or I'll wait three months for it to come out But now it's like, you know

you pay for this subscription, that subscription, that subscription, and now YouTube wants a subscription and everybody like and a lot of them, you still get ads. Mm hmm. Right. So, no, I'm with you on that one. We used to be a proper freaking country. I feel like I like I mean, yes, in a ideal world, there wouldn't be ads, but I feel like I'd be so much more content with ads if they were ads

like how we had when we were kids, because I want an ad for a super soaker or a nerf gun, not a new antidepressant. Absolutely. And, you know, those commercials make me want to take antidepressants, but like not the ones that they're showing. I don't know. There's just yes, that's a very, very good point. Like I miss fun thing. Nineties and early two thousands commercials. That's an American thing.

Oh yeah. Yeah. Um, I, I get a lot of, well, commercials for antidepressants and drugs and like that, that like meme where it's like, um, people dancing in the background and like doing yoga and it's like, could cause death and dysentery and blah, blah, blah. That's strictly you guys. Oh, cause that's good. The different healthcare systems. I'm assuming they can push it because we have to buy it.

Whereas you guys get, which a lot of it's covered up here. Yeah. So we don't get that specifically. I get a lot of AI ads, which I've ranted about on this podcast before, where it's that annoying, like Samuel L. Jackson voice and It's just some shitty health product, which is probably an MLM Yeah, we get those more than anything up here and then randomly like a lot of Google pixel ads But that might be a YouTube specific thing because I think Google owns YouTube

Hmm, but it's so funny. It's all the same thing. Knowing my job, people walk in and they've never heard of Google in their life. And they're just like, I've heard this is really good. And I'm like, yeah, I bet you have. I'm not saying it's not like I, I love the Google pixel, but it's like, you've been an iPhone user for the past 25 years or however long you've been an iPhone user and you're walking in thinking, I might switch to this new thing. It's not organic. I know it's not organic sorry anyway that's enough work talk that's twice I brought it up now I might be in

a funk um do you wanna new job yeah you want to the drop and then maybe pocket the other stuff for next week just so we can I don't care we can still I don't know how long it I don't know if that that segments gonna be a long one or not one of those a game and the other one is Yeah Somebody like somebody said that we didn't there was no Hong Kong class week No, did I did they did Tom do something wrong what Hong Kong? Hmm Yeah, I'm not sure yeah, I don't think I've ever heard of a I don't think I've ever heard this podcast say

honk honk. So I mean, I've listened to it. I was back every episode. I've never heard it. Yeah, me either. I did. So I don't know what you guys are talking about. There is nothing missing. Relax. It's weird. Yeah, I mean, yeah, that's very strange to get the blur blur on that. But I don't really know what they're talking about The new drop is dope It's same actually I had to give them some money and I do appreciate the new drink spotter I wanted to say I owned one of every drink spotter So I literally put my order in and then I was like fuck I didn't order the drink spotter I don't want to be the guy that like bugs him and does another or like

So if I want one up get it in July at this point like I'm not gonna I Hate the idea of being like oh Tanner. I did two orders Can you combine them and refund me and like just you know? Sorry for wasting your time like I get people do that it you know if it's a mistake or so It also not the 30 seconds of work it takes him Yeah, I don't know I just I don I just, I don't want to bug him. You weren't bugging him enough as is, so. You do.

But yeah, I got the home gym nerd shirt and I got, I did break down and finally buy the horse stall mat things. I was this close. I literally don't know what I'm gonna do with them. That's why I didn't. I was gonna put one next to my cast. I think I'm gonna screw one to the wall in the gym or something.

Like, I don't know. Like I have no function I have no function. They'll use for it as a, as an actual coaster. Use it as a deadlift jack. It's actually not a whole, it's going to rub off the font and then you just fucking, but I don't know. Um, I am not really sure what I'm gonna do, but it was just like, it was like 18 bucks is like, I couldn't afford not to at that point at that price point.

I, for some reason I thought they were more expensive when they first came out so I just chose to goes to show how much I pay attention sometimes but uh I'm just hoping I get I'm just hoping I get the new job that I'm aiming for because then I get to drive a forklift and that magnetized drink spotter would be yeah perfect in a forklift for forklift certified and safe But yeah, definitely looking forward is that stuff coming in the mail next week. Oh Yeah, I look forward to getting mine in two months

Next one's a next one's a quick game If you don't mind, yeah, no cool So I was just doom scrolling a little bit and I follow a couple like wildlife experts and I thought scar you might be You know birdwatcher adjacent. Maybe this would be fun for you what's the scariest animal you can think of and I don't mean like I Don't mean like Terrifying I'm never gonna see one Like what is a thing that like you know that if you came across and there's a chance you would come across Would genuinely bother you And, that if you came across and there's a chance you would come across would genuinely bother you?

And I'll give you mine. Do you do you have one already? Well, I had an answer, but then you're saying like that I might. I've I've seen it like at the zoo and we have a zoo really close to us that has them. And I've seen them on leashes and they freak me out. And they're not like what you would. It's the Komodo dragons. Oh, yeah. Yeah, it would be scary as fuck because they're faster like what you would think. It's the Komodo dragons. Oh yeah.

That would be scary as fuck. Because they're faster than they think. Like then you think they would be. They can climb trees, they can swim and they don't like attack you. They just bite you and then sit there and wait for you to die. Yeah, they just watch you.

They're like, poison. They got the venom. Terrifying. Yeah. Close the thing to a dragon or a dinosaur we'll oversee. So mine, this actually comes from seeing, um, this guy he's called J prehistoric something and he was holding what had to have been a four foot snapping turtle. And this thing's head was the size of an NFL football.

And those exist here. There could be one, there could be one in the backfield right now just sitting there waiting. Oh, they would take, yeah. Like that would murder you like those things. And then like it's hands were like baseball gloves. And like, I'm not very easily disturbed by animals. Like I've confronted most of the wildlife in our area, but I was just like, damn it. If I came across that, I would squeal like a little girl. That would terrify me and be like, nobody go near it. I would immediately become that type of person if I ran across

a snapping turtle that big. I've seen lions and tigers and Komodo dragons and those things at the zoo where I'm just like, well, and Komodo dragons and those things at the zoo where I'm just like, well, those things, if you respect their space, they respect yours, blah, blah, blah, blah. Coyotes the same thing, right? Coyotes are a little scary, but like, they're not really going to attack an adult male or an adult human at all. But a snapping turtle doesn't give a shit.

Like you get close to it. It's just like, I'm eating whatever's by me. And like, it would take you out. So that's actually what led to that question, is that giant snapping turtle, the size of my kid. Yeah, so I actually saw the question earlier and I was just like, nothing really came to mind. So I did some Googling and it's just like,

I was gonna pick something from the Google. And there was just like, there's so many different options, but like, I think it would, it did go back to kind just like, I was going to pick something from the Google. And there was just like, there's so many different options, but like, I think it would, they go back to kind of like, dude, like pissed off dogs and angry, aggressive dogs. Like I deal with that a lot at work. Like I'm not as like, I just, I have a healthy respect for an angry dog of like, and I've been bitten multiple times by dogs throughout my life.

So I was just like, don't love pissed off, angry dogs with shitty owners. And I there's a fucking millions of those. So that's scary. Um, like the problem, I think the problem with a pissed off dog, like if I had to be upfront with you. Is you could, I could scar, you could probably take a pissed off dog, but now you're the person that has to hurt a dog. Yeah. And I think that like, it's also the P like when people are like running from

goose is or just angry swans or something. Like they're not scary. They don't really hurt, but like you don't want to be the guy to punch a dog in the face, right? Like I carry a pocket knife. Am I going to be the guy that pulls a knife on a dog because the owner was shitty? I think that's kind of what leads to that fear, right? Like, am I going to be the one to punch a goose in the face? Am I going to be the one

to grab a swan by the neck and twist it until it goes away? Like, no, I'm not. I'm going to run away screaming because like, I don't want to be that guy. So I actually, I'm not. I'm going to run away screaming because I don't want to be that guy. So actually, I can really understand that. I think there's levels to that. I think there's levels to that fear. That and then, I don't know, snakes in general. I think Stephanie is deathly afraid of snakes. And I think that I've gotten some osmosis from her on that. I used to never, I mean, I've killed some snakes that has just grown in West Virginia with black snakes everywhere like once you come under your land you're like oh what the fuck and we had cat outside cats and stuff so we were always kind of somewhat protective of it but uh I don't know I don't I don't

love snakes I had someone I was in someone's home the other day and like oh do you want to see my snake and I'm good no thank you like do not want to see your snake was that code for penis no it was she like see the aquarium in the back of the or the H whatever in the back but One last thing on this so like during my during my googling Do you know what the? So I basically I was kind of somewhat shocked of what the most dangerous slash Animal that leads to the most dangerous slash

animal that leads to the most fatalities in the world. We were surrounded by him at Tanner's backyard for the last two years. Oh, Skeeters. Yeah. It was like a million fucking dead deaths a year or something. Or maybe it was a hundred. It's a big discrepancy. It's a lot.

I was like, oh, well, that's a lot. So thanks Tanner for putting us all at risk. He did everything he could. He sprayed the backyard could I know the back I know it's the running true. It's Running jokes, man. It was the lawns between the hotel and B dubs that really did us in yeah Literally any time you walked outside like I think I got just getting out of the car going into the to a restaurant I got fucking bit like I'm like, yeah fuck like I wasn't I literally wasn't outside for anything

It's like a walk walking into Walmart to buy bug spray and it got bit. Anyway, that was my fun little game for a general topics. I think, yeah, I think we rounded that out and we will hand it over to scar. If she has a massomic sponsor, she wants to hit him with. Yes. Yes. So I just have to preface that I did write it as an Elizabethan sonnet, which is in iambic pentameter. I just need you guys to understand how impressive that is. I don't know what any of that means, but we're proud of you. I do. And I'm excited. Go.

I don't know what any of that means, but we're proud of you. I do, and I'm excited. Go. Alright. Hear ye all, now ye lifters bold and keen, To tales from land where barbells do abound, In Aberdeen where horse-doll mats are seen, And brutes discuss, well, nothing so profound. Gather thy druthers, discourse big and just, With sparkling waters clutched in calloused hands,

Proclaim, lift hard, live easy such as best. Prepare thy cottage cheese best in the lands. Let Brad the pad thy patron saint become while chicken bake fuels gains that none could dream. To Jefferson dead lifts thy foes succumb whilst butt rock plays and silly goose all scream. We used to be of proper land they cry. Get strong, stay strong, and lift till thou dost die. Join Masonomic's crew today. Nice.

Great. Great. Yeah. No, that was really fun. Brad the Bad, our patron saint. Alright. Do we have any lucky lose? Maybe.

No, no, no. We won't say. Oh, I know. Good for him. That's cool. That's that's good support. That's that's that's crew supporting crew. So he's driving home right now.

Big Sam, is that you? We're going to get you on the horn if that's OK. Welcome. Yeah. Yeah. You'll be better. Yeah. We're going to pretend like you weren't here the whole time. Now she's here. That was you go. OK, so let's let's let's let's finally break this down. We're we're going gonna go from the general topics

where you're just another crew member, and then we're gonna transition you into the guest. But like they do on Mastinomics, we're gonna pretend like you weren't here the whole time. And you're not the first to not get it, and I think that, you know what? That explanation is there now for everybody. Big Scar, scars are you?

Yes. Hi, how's it going? Hey, welcome. You're live on unpaid and underrated. We're going to jump right into recording with you. We're going to win on a miss any gold. I knew I forgot something earlier. God damn it.

So man, whatever. We finally got it. We finally got the joke explained for the David. Yeah. Yeah. David. I love that it's only one now. Even though you got six others. I like how I said the joke and then you also explained it afterwards. That's another layer to that joke. Good work.

We got to do it. If we anything worth doing is worth doing twice. We are not professionals. So Samantha Scardino, we've been alternating between Sam and Scar. Do you have a preference? For here, I think Scar is probably the easiest. Yeah. When I met you at the Live Hard, Live Easy, you introduced yourself as Samantha and then said, but call me Scar.

And that stuck. Right. Like that was well, because especially like so few people call me Samantha. I'll always introduce myself as Samantha, not Sam, but people kind of automatically go to Sam, but especially at this last part, lift, hard, live, easy. Big Sam was Cody's rival. That's going to be confusing. And yeah, Scardino is my last name, Scar for short. And that's kind of just been an easy nickname and a little more unique, I guess.

Yeah, no, it is very original for sure. I don't think I've known any other Scars. Well, we'll hit you with the biggest one. Other than, well, I mean, it should. Okay, so what brought you to the biggest one other than well, I mean it should. Okay, so what brought you to Mastodon mix all together? How are you introduced? You know, why are you here? All that.

So I married into it. Now, Cody, how was that funeral? Oh, it was honestly the most perfect day ever. But yeah, so big Cody and I are married and have been together for quite some time before we got married. So I've known about Massonomics. I've heard the podcasts and unpaid and underrated on like long trips and stuff that we would do where we would listen to it.

And it was kind of just like a, well, I'm driving, so we're going to listen to this. And so I would pick up or, you know, he has his headphones in walking around the house and just hear him giggle. And then he'll like come and explain it to me, be like, okay, so chicken bakes or, you know, whatever. And so I got in on a lot of that. And then I know Cody has won a couple of competitions and I either filmed or helped or directed or whatever,

pretty much all of those helped in some way and all of those. So yeah, it's been there and I've kind of just been adjacent for a while. And then after the last lift hard, love easy, I became an actual member, an actual chip. Nice. Did the influence of just being at Lyft Hard Live Easy be like, I probably really should

join this after competing and realizing, hey, these people aren't so bad that sway you a little bit to finally spend the $3? You have big money. No, it that $3. You have big money. No, it wasn't. It wasn't that I think I got in my head because I knew everyone is going to be super nice and from what I had heard and like everyone is that such a supportive community.

And I love that. I think I was in my head about it being too overwhelming. So you're talking about your wife and like with the discord and stuff. And that was more of my like, oh, my I don't have time for it it. Like I won't do anything on there and they're going to all hate me because of that. And Cody's like, you can just not. It's fine. There's 600 people and maybe 50 of them post right now. I would say like 20 of us post regularly and like like if you want to go to 180 post semi regular

right like there are those of us that are perpetually on to on discord and there's some that are sometimes and then there's 500 that are there going the hell are they talking about which is fair which is fair like I said week, they don't get it and they're not wrong Go ahead, we're gonna find you at scar on the old Instagrams Where do you want people to follow you out if you do? Yeah underscores or Instagram is scar underscore lifts l i f t s So discord is big scar. lifts L I F T s

So this cord is big scar. Yeah, I think so probably So you guys you and Cody are out there in California Is that where you've always been or is that a you transplant or California? No, we're coming I actually are both like pretty much in the same town that we grew up in and are both like pretty much in the same town that we grew up in. And we both kind of like moved away for a while and then ended up coming back. I love it here. It's Southern California, but it's not LA at all.

LA. Yeah. Like I can look out and see the Santa Monica mountains from my back window here. And I love that. And it's been about sunny and 75 all day. It rained here today. What is, is there any piece of Mastinomics merch that you've seen us wearing, see us post that you wish you had? I think one of the biggest ones, and this is not like I don't believe it was actually sold. I don't know if she made it or not, but at the lift hard, love easy to Jen was wearing like overalls. And that was the cutest thing I've ever seen.

And I instantly wanted those really, really bad. But I do think I don't think that that was like, like, I think that was just like, especially made that like she made something. So that's really cool. And then I do steal Cody's shirts sometimes, because there's certain ones that are just really soft that I like. Like the huge life one is like a really soft material. I don't wear that one enough. I'm gonna go find it. That's one of my favorites too. Yeah. It's somewhere in between the athletic fit

and the comfort fit, I think. It's like right in between those. Yeah, it's just like a thinner kind of material. It is a different cut. It's not the, you know, that athletic cut that like, you know, they used to always sell and it's definitely not a comfort. It's kind of a weird, it fits me somewhat awkwardly. So I don't love it

But yes, it is soft, but I just I don't like when you're shaped like I am. There's very few clothes that is flattering Dude, what's your Hall of Fame status? Do you have one? Do you know it? I Have five status do you have one do you know it I have five points I guess I don't know what we call points five checks five checks I guess yeah are we five or are we six year five it's exciting anything more than one is awesome that's how I do it so I'll hit my year in August are you you good? And supporting membership number. I am four or five nine. Thanks.

Oh, she did find the card and I know I've been pretty sure. Yeah. You want to see her. So that's the, that's the it's all here, right? In my notes. Yeah. That's the gold card you've got or the, have the first block.

Yeah. Okay. No, I have the, no, I don't think, I think think with a black one, I don't think we were even at like. 300 tops, probably. Those are like the black ones are like three or four or three years old, I think. It doesn't have a date on it. I laminated it, but it doesn't have a date on it. Are you sure it's not in the it's like it's like because I swear,

like some some of the digits on there are twenty, twenty two and twenty twenty four or something, maybe. Let's see. Cody's like six, like cuz I swear like some some of the digits on there are 2022 and 2024 or something Maybe let's see Cody's. Oh, yeah, six nine and his is So it must be before that. Yeah, the gold one is okay. So the first on the credit card is the year So the first the black one is 2022. Yeah, but then it's like 426 nine and then Yeah, yeah. Okay. Yeah So have you guys made your public gym there? You and Cody both train at Ode Haugen's Gym.

The hall, right? Is it the hall? What is it? What's the name of it again? The training hall, yeah. Training hall, OK. So have you talked him into making that a certified training facility yet?

It is, in fact, a certified training facility. Yeah, it is. In fact, oh, hell yeah. How did how did that how did that conversation go? Because does Ode actually like still manage like the day to day? Or does he have like another like someone that's not 80 help him kind of run it? Did you guys just walk in with a flag and be like, this goes up now? Almost. So there is the joke. We love Ode, but he's A, an old man, and B, he's Nordic. English is a second language and whatnot. So he has a very thick accent and like old

man accent. So we joke that he speaks Odish and you kind of just like learn it. It's like being in New York and like speaking subway conductor Like you just you kind of pick up on it. So I believe Cody was like, hey, like can we do this and this is like Like taking that as yes, okay So Cody actually like I had to bring in his own like it would use like like He had to apply it to the wall himself somehow too. It wasn't just like here Can you put this up for us? It was like, well, just put it up on the wall somewhere. Yeah, there's flags and stuff hanging all around the gym. And so we found a good spot where it's like in a squat rack.

So sometimes it'll be like behind our videos and stuff, which I like. That's actually really good. Yeah, I kind of need to like, I wish I could like rearrange all my stuff, but some of the stuff's like just been there forever. And I like some of the, it's really hard to get shit to stick to basement wall sometimes. So like if I have if I have ones that are stuck, like I don't want to move stuff because that's just going to rip all the paint off behind the on the concrete and it's just it's not worth it. But I don't know. Mine shows up in a lot of the videos, but not as much as I'd like it, I guess. But that is a really good story. I enjoyed that. He was just like, Oh, we're just gonna put it up.

I guess but that is a really good story. I enjoyed that he was just like oh, we're just gonna put it up. I Love it. Um, so before you got on this episode We obviously sent you a questionnaire and you had a handful of people fill it out for us other than Cody Who would have already known how did you explain? You know what you needed them to do and just like Mastinomics and unpaid and underrated and why you were getting interviewed. Did you have any funny conversations with people with that? It wasn't too bad because Cody and I obviously have a lot of similar friends, so I think he had a good chunk of them fill it out for him too. So they were a little like, oh yeah, okay, like this thing.

But I did have one of my friends from college where I was like, oh, yeah, OK, like this thing. But I did have one of my friends from college where I was like, hey, like, I'm going to be on this thing. And she's like, done. Got it. Like she was just so into it. And it's one of the reasons I love her, where she like doesn't ask questions and is just like, yes, absolutely. That's awesome. One of our upcoming guests had a little something like that, too.

He so big Jake's going to be on podcast the next month or so, I think maybe the next couple of weeks, I'm not sure. He already DM me back and already had like five or six people submit even though I just sent him the questionnaire like a couple of days ago. He's like, yeah, one of my friends literally subscribed and listened to like three episodes before he submitted the questionnaire.

I'm like, that's wild. Like no clue who we are. I don't think he said he's described, but regardless, like you probably subscribe if you listen to two or three episodes. Pretty awesome. But I just thought that was great. And that's cool that your friend was so, you know, just on it. All right. I'm going to hit us with our first game here. So a little segment, if you're not familiar with it, it's going to

be least fun, most fun for you. So I'm gonna give you a one topic. And you can talk and expand as little or as much as you want to explain essentially the least fun and the most fun thing about it. So I'm going to hit you with being a teacher. What do you consider the least fun thing about it? And then what's apathetic. Um, where like you're just trying so hard to like make sure that they're like, like, no, no, no, like, this is important. Like you, you should know this. It's not just for a grade and whatnot. And they're just, like I can deal with like not getting it. It's really hard to deal with. They didn't do anything because they just don't like they're just there's nothing there.

Um, what's that's definitely what grade do you teach? Sorry, just so we can get a better I teach ninth and 12th. Oh, oh, those are the most apathetic years. Yeah. Most fun is the kids who are into it, and especially one of the classes that I teach is a Harry Potter class. And so a lot of times the kids that are in that class, there's a little bit more of a buy-in. And so we're able to do still the same standards and whatnot, but do it in a way that is usually like a little bit more buy-in and just like absolute ridiculousness. And every now and then you get kids that say, like, they're so accidentally funny. And I appreciate that. And I also appreciate that, like, especially

for English, it's something different every single day. Like I don't go in, like even if I'm teaching the same curriculum each year, every single class period is going to be different every single year. They're going to interpret it differently. Um, and so I really appreciate that kind of change. Very good. Uh, the accidental funny thing. So, um, I was telling you that I, the shirt I'm wearing, I literally just just took this took another shirt off to put this one on or vice versa. Right. And I threw this one in the back seat.

The one I put on was my Huck Finn wrong again shirt. OK, so I put it on for his episode tomorrow of him talking shit about Tanner again. Yeah, I put it on and my wife goes, ha ha, wrong again. Yeah, I put it on and my wife goes, haha, wrong again. My three year old unprompted yells wrong again, Joey. She's three. That was a good video. And I was like, excuse you. But like, she's just repeating what she's heard so many times. She doesn't know how funny that is.

But like, did you hear it from your kid and you're just like, excuse you little girl. So I said, can you say that again? But by that point, she's in performance mode because she's three. So she did it completely different. But the first time unprompted wrong again, Joey. I'm like, that's great. How dare you? First of all, second of all, that was really funny. Good work. Who do you think you are? Yeah. Speaking of kids being hilarious accidentally. Here's a new one I started. I don't know how many you've listened to from the past, like four or five weeks. Uh, you're about to go for a big lift, whatever lift it is. Pick your favorite lift. Who is the hype person that you wish dead, alive, past, present anybody? Yes, I put a lot of thought into this because I was like, I had like my

my real person in the gym answer. Yeah. And so there's a we call him Skippy. And I love hearing Skippy like he lives in Australia right now. But like he was one of my favorite people to like hype up. But in a fictional world, I want Jeffrey Chaucer specifically from a night's tale, the movie. I want him to hype me up.

Which character? A night's tale. No, I have. I'm just trying to remember who the announcer, the announcer guy, the ones that yeah, yeah, yeah, like the. Yes. Yeah. He's like he spent a year in silence just to better understand. That's a good answer. That's a very unique answer.

I want him. You know what? You're the first person to actually put good thought into this too, so that's great. And you know what? Those are the answers I'm looking for. Yeah. So I'm telling you, as this evolves,

that's gonna get better. Thank you Scar for taking that leap and jumping in to make it like, yeah, that's definitely the direction I want this to go. Yeah, it's just gonna get traction now that more people will hear about it. So that was our, you know, another bus. Both explaining it there, David. Good for you. All right. I got a couple of questions from the Instagram

because everyone gets mad because I never actually ask them because 90 percent of me that scants is old, but I had I had a couple of good ones this week. So, well, the couple of them. Oh, you're right. Like that's a couple of good ones will week. So well, the couple good ones will follow. So true. No, you're right. A couple good ones will come after mofos here. So big mofo, Southern Californian neighbor there to you. Wanted to know if you're a brainwashed into Cody's birds aren't real conspiracy.

I've heard that a few times. I'm not going to question what makes someone so happy. Birds just make people happy and it makes my husband extremely happy. So, they're not. It's like telling a little kid not to play with their imaginary friends. I think I read that wrong too. So I'm glad you heard it the right way. And I think I said aren't real and it was clearly are real. So if I butchered that for the audience, it was definitely are real.

All right. Do you remember? I don't know if you were even paying attention. We were all sitting on the patio at the, uh, the American and everybody was talking and then a bird started chirping really loud. You guys pulled out the app and both me and Cody made eye contact. Like, what is that? And we both pulled out the app. Like, like it was really, it was really funny. I'll always remember that moment because everybody was talking so seriously and both me and Cody were like, what was that? Go ahead, Keith. I got a good one here from, I don't think,

I think it's supposed to be one of your personal friends, World's Mattiest Strongman. I'm not sure if you know. Okay. So they wanted to know instead of the hardest, what's the easiest thing about being a female strength athlete? And I thought this was actually a very good question. Maybe the best question ever submitted via Instagram. So yeah, what's the easiest thing about being a female strength athlete? Every now and then, I would say it like, not for overhead, but especially deadlifts, they tend to

go real light on the deadlifts because they have no idea and I'm referring primarily to strongman. The directors have no idea what an appropriate weight is. So for deadlifts, I can get like 20 to something reps on a deadlift. So that's pretty lovely. Reps on a deadlift. So that's that's pretty lovely nice I'll get a little strongman talk later on to when we talk talk about your What you're how you're thinking the lift hard is gonna go for you, but last one from Instagram Andrew Garrison basically was asking

He saw something on your story or Instagram recently about how you have students that like to always pack up early and you made them do some squat, hold a squat. Yeah, just tell us that story. Yeah. Every now and then, you know, the kids start packing up early. And like, I'm not like one of those sticklers. It's like, I don't just miss you or like the bell doesn't just miss you. I just miss you. Like, it's not like that. But like these kids were packing up real early. And so I've kind of joked with them before. And I was like, you guys like you still like two minutes left. Like that's a long time. And so I was like, you're going to realize just how long a time that is. So if you guys want to pack up early, then we're going to hold a squat

for that amount of time. So with all they tried to like put their backpacks down I was like, no, no, no, you packed up, you have to hold it. They had their backpacks on and are in a squat and I'm like, get down lower, like you can do it. And they're like, you know, some of them are like fully like in the zone in their mind. Some of them are having to totally cheat. Some of them can't do it at all. And they're like, what has happened? I was like, we still have 45 more seconds. And they're like, no. And I was like, yeah, this is what happens when you pack up early. And I'm doing it with them, of course. Which is kind of just, yeah, it was pretty funny. And they got a good like, I definitely have enough of a rapport, had enough of a rapport with that class that I know that I can get away with that kind of stuff. And that they'll like giggle through it.

I got a quick follow up on that. Basically, are you more jacked than any of the coaches and the athletic instructors at the school? It's the history teacher, isn't it? There's a history in the math teacher. There's a lot of teachers that are coaches and stuff. I would say I probably have the most knowledge in the weight room. But there are a few, there's two female PE teachers that are very strong in their own way. Like one of them is like a yoga swimmer. And like during lunchtime, she goes into the pool and like swims laps and stuff. And she's kind of badass in her own way. That's completely different. But

yeah, with weights, it is kind of cool being the teacher that lifts because I'll have students that are not mine at all. And they'll just come in and it'll be like a female who's like, how do I get started? And just ask questions. I've had students come in and be like creatine So, yeah, that's that's pretty cool that they at least trust me enough to come in or I must look at least relatively jacked Enough that like they're like, okay. Yeah Believe that's awesome Any chance you get to steer kids in the right direction is commendable to me Yeah Alright funny nicknames. No, I'm not doing any of that Any chance you get to steer kids in the right direction is commendable to me Yeah Alright funny nicknames. Nah, I'm not doing any of that

I'm not reading that essay What do you got there Keith anything so What got you so, you know, we're obviously, you know strong man power-living Background on some CrossFit just walk us through your whole fitness journey, if you want real quick. That'd be a lot of people like, you know, hearing and hearing and talking about that. Just because, you know, we are athletic adjacent over here.

The number one urban podcast. Yeah, so I was a very competitive soccer player and then I tore my ACL and then I worked my ass off to rehab and then I tore my other ACL. Oh man, who are you? Yeah, I like to joke like the OCD just kind of kicked in and it had to be symmetrical. Oh no, I shouldn't laugh at that. No, I shouldn't make that joke. I shouldn't make that joke.

But yeah, it, so true though. So yeah, I tore both ACLs and kind of was just sad. And I had wanted to get a little more into strength training. Cause I was like, there's no way that I'm 18 years old and like, this is my life now, like I can't do anything. I went on a snowboarding trip and was like, this is the most miserable thing to ever exist. And I didn't want to be that. Um, and so then I was supposed to start strength training with a guy and then he ended up, he was in the military and he ended up moving away and

I was like, dang it. And then, um, I don't know, maybe a couple months later, I started dating Cody and he's like, I could show you. And it ended up being really great. Although I like to joke that, like, I missed out on the, like, do she figure it out phase because I had Cody, like, there to, like, be like, oh, I already made all those mistakes. I got you. Let's just start where it gets good. So I started lifting. I started enjoying it. He was so like, I don't want to pressure you, but like, it's a fine line. Yeah, no, it was it was great. And we've been able to be like,

okay, coach hat versus, you know, boyfriend, husband hat. And so yeah, I started lifting, tested out some maxes was like, dang like, dang, I'm really strong. And then about a year into lifting did my first powerlifting competition. And then maybe two years later, we started working out at the hall. And when you're there, it's just people are doing some cool stuff. And so you're like, what's a yoke? And so then you kind of start playing around with stuff. I got a little into strong man there and grip there and mosque wrestling there.

And then yeah, kind of was hitting a little bit of a funk, just feeling unmotivated with stuff. And so then I started doing CrossFit as well. So now I kind of go back and forth between the training hall and the CrossFit gym, CrossFit 1000. And that's been great. A lot of variety there. What kind of time?

So how, if you don't mind, how old are you? 33, I just turned 33. Oh, okay, so then Jesus, so you were talking to, she's basically, you got into training when you met Cody essentially, so was there a gap? Because you said you tore your both ACLs when you were about 18, or, well, I guess your first one was 18. So I was trying to figure out like what that timeline looked like and how long.

Yeah, pretty much just college. I was just a little cardio bunny. OK, yeah. Gotcha. So that's awesome. So I know that Moss means more. What is Russian? OK, Yes, what's more wrestling? Sport from like a small like it's it's originated in from like a small like it's it's originated in

Like this small Russian country like our culture moss means stick. So you have your feet up on the board There's a stick you either have the outside grip or the okay. I've seen it and then okay right over the stick So it's like horizontal judo or tug of war Yeah, but but hard just a lot more a lot more angles and stuff like war. Yeah. But harder. Just a lot more angles and stuff like that. Yeah. Look at me using the wrong language here. No, it's like

good guess. So you did Strongman with the lift hard last year, right? Or did you do powerlifting? No, I did strongman last year. What are you doing this year then? I'm doing powerlifting this year. Okay were you trying to get on strongman or did you want to do powerlifting? No, I wanted to do powerlifting. Nice nice. Yeah, it's a little easier to train for definitely. Yeah well the the strongman I only did because I couldn't get into the powerlifting because I was also

adjacent or crew adjacent at the time and they just you know can always use more female strongmen and so I had to go up against Lacey and Megan and they were amazing. Yeah, it was a stacked class for sure. So you're definitely coming back this year. That's good. How was, I wanted to mostly hear about you, but I did want to, the funny thing is, when Cody went to go sign up, he missed, you know, his weight class was sold out for Strongman. So he's competing in the 220 and above. Or is it 270? Well, yeah, it's like 221 to 270 is his class right now. And Cody's

like 210 or maybe, well how big is Cody right now? He is a fluffy 215 right now. I didn't think he was even at the lowest threshold, so that's great. I mean, we'll see. Hopefully he has even been busting his ass to hit those with that extra. Because obviously anyone So that's great. I mean, we'll see hopefully he you know He's even busting his ass to hit those with that, you know It actually because obviously anyone that's not familiar in strongman when it's by weight classes, you know Outside of novice, which is you know, just you know a little more entry level for people that only done like 10 10 strongman shows or so

You know strongman is basically like you've two or three to four weight classes give or take depending on the director Obviously the lighter guys will have to list lift lighter weights But you like that's not just you don't get to pick your weights I could do in powerlifting you literally have to go and pick up the 500 pound implement or you get a zero So Cody's gonna have to pick up some really big weights against some fucking guys that are 50 pounds bigger than him. So Good luck to you, sir Yeah or 50 pounds bigger than him. So good luck to you, sir. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, he's been he's been trying. He's been training. I've mostly seen he's been trying. That's my favorite.

I would say the trying hasn't been like for his training. The trying has just been like with the implements at our to set up. But yeah, the I've just been seeing him kind of practice with Axel and so that's coming along. He's usually had a pretty good overhead because he has some Olympic training stuff where you can get under the bar really well. Do you guys train to get like, so I know you go to the same gym and now you're doing more CrossFit stuff, but when you guys do train, do you kind of both just go in and do your

own thing? Because you might not be in the same split? Or are you like adamant you like let's let's work in together. Let's train together kind of thing. Um, we end up working out a lot together. It might not be because the whole we don't really need to share stuff. It might be that like, he's in front of my squat rack or something. But for the most part, yeah, we'll go in together, especially on weekends or things like that.

And he's been doing CrossFit with me as well. So there are still many games. That's why he's only 215. He's lost all his gains. So he's he's yeah. Yeah, I'm going to go ahead and redirect this away from the person that's not on the. I know. And I was about. I want to talk about what is bookbinding.

Oh, Cody just got me this for my birthday. So I'm really excited for it. I am not a crafty person by nature, but I'm hoping that I can't mess this one up too bad. Basically, it's like, you know, you go to Barnes and Noble and you get your book and the book is what it is. Book binding is where you can take the cover off or whatever and make a new cover that's pretty. So being able to like, like, like, say you got like a paperback or something, like from Goodwill, you'd like rip the cover off of that, create like a cardboard, like hard front to it and then you can use like pretty leather and, and gold filigree and,

and you know, all kinds of really, I've seen some really cool, I've gone down a rabbit hole of some crazy Instagram and TikToks of some really cool ones. Have you done one yet or is this still all a hypothetical I need to get to it project? I literally just got the kit maybe like three or four days ago as a birthday present.

And today is my first day of summer break. So I've been in survival mode of finals the past couple of days. So that has not been on my register at all. But soon, and I will hopefully, hopefully, like I said, not mess it up too bad and can make something cute. It is shocking that that came up so many times

considering it's so new. What is huffing cats? You're going to be smelling cats, I'd imagine, right? Yeah, it's just like, hold on, I'm trying to see if I can grab one of them. But it's like, you know, you come home and you pick them up and it's just like, you just like, nope.

Yeah, right? I definitely do that. Nope, don't get it. Appreciate it, but don't, nope. Yeah. Nope. Don't get it. Appreciate it, but don't get it. Yeah. Definitely. Definitely do that from time to time. It is.

That is a very calming anti stress. That sounds like you're not allergic to cats. Well, no, I wouldn't have to have them if I was. I did. You just deal with it. Yeah. I love you little dangerous carnivore. I will put up with this for a while.

Yes, who's the little vicious killing machine? Yeah. If I died, you would eat me, wouldn't you? Yes, you would. I would hope so. They're gonna be good. I love this one. You basically had an ongoing bucket list since you were a kid. That's wild.

What's on it? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Okay. What's on it? And what have you checked off? Yeah. I mean, I've checked off stuff like buying a house and getting married and gone skydiving, certain places I wanted to travel to. Yeah, every like New Year's Eve, I kind of go through it and see like, what have I done this year that I can cross off? That's one of them was working. I went to a summer camp growing up and I was a third generation there. And so I will like as a kid, I knew I wanted to

go back and work there. And so being able to go back and work at that camp and I was able to cross that one. You've been skydiving and that didn't show up on the notes. Are you our first skydiver? Cody's gone skydiving. I imagine. Did we talk about it? I don't know. There's I mean, I've only been like the one day like I'm not like a skydiver. Like I'm not. That's not like a hobby of mine. I don't I don't listen to free falling constantly.

My dad and I had talked about it when I was younger and we said that we would go for his 50th birthday. And so we went. All right. So that takes out the bucket list thing. All right. All right. All right. All right. What's well, what's what's the next thing you want to do off your bucket list? Or what's the most realistic one you think that's like one that's coming up that Cody and I, we bought our tickets is to go to New Zealand. Oh, dope. So we bought our tickets for New Zealand, and that's

that's a big one as far as like travel. Who can you do the Bluey tour and send me photos? Bluey, I did not realize there was a plan for it. Everyone always talks about like Lord of the Rings. Oh, which is also not like huge on our. Like, that's not why.

No, also. But is Bluey New Zealand or is it Australia? I'm pretty sure it's Australia. But I don't know. OK. All you have to do is go to a hammer barn, take a selfie and send it to me. I'll be excited.

We'll do. All right. Yeah, just I just want one hammer barn. That's all. Go ahead. The itinerary. Millennial Music Monday, is that where you make your students listen to the music of your youth? Yes. Nice.

So I have a playlist that's like 250 songs long. I just go to a randomizer, it chooses a song, I play a song for them and then pause it, and they have to finish the lyrics. If they finish the lyrics, then they get a brownie. So I have brownie points in my class,

and if they fill up the tray with brownies, then I bake brownies and bring them in for the class. Oh, nice. So that's one of the ways that they can. So it would be, you know, something like Mr. Brightside or something like that. And I would pause it like right before where it would, you know, goes into like jealousy. And so like you pause it and they have to to finish the lyric because like otherwise they would just like shazam it and be like, excuse me, it is Monday. You're right. OK. What do you what do you got, Keith? Anything under hobby? Someone put Marshall's is that the store?

Liz, I was like, you just like going to Marshall's and someone put that as a hobby. That's great. I think I might have put that as a hobby. Yes. Going to Marshall's and like because in in our like little shopping centers, Marshall's and Home Goods are right next to each other and they're the same same same company, same credit card. And so yes, just perusing through there and like spending way too long. Marshall's or TJ Maxx. It's very easy to do. Yes, and like I've so Cody has now started to play the game of

take a shot of whiskey before we go. So he'll take a shot and then go to Home Goods with me and then he's much happier and we've started playing some of the games of like, guess how much the price is or like, you know, you see like the obscure thing where it's like a big, like frog meditating with a cowboy hat. And you like go up and be like, excuse me, I'm looking for like an amphibian that like, you know, is like a little bit country but a little bit like, you know, like basically like Willie Nelson in frog form.

And you're like, oh, yes, right here. So we'll play that game. That's wild. Um, so I hear you're you are you a movie buff? And do you like ranking movies and or having a list of the best movies of some something along along those lines? Uh, yeah. So I wouldn't say like a movie buff because that makes it sound like my favorite movie is Godfather. But like, it's more along the lines of like understanding what a perfect movie is. And so we've had like this conversation with multiple people about what is a perfect movie. And like, we're not talking about a cinematic masterpiece because that's completely different. Right? That's like your Schindler's List and things like that Schindler's List is not a

perfect movie beautiful and will make you cry and stuff but like a perfect movie needs to have great character development great visual great soundtrack make you feel an array of emotions. So laugh cry, you know think but also good rewatchability So it's Batman Begins But it begins is a pretty good choice. Yeah, like I think if that's the description Is it my favorite Batman movie? No, but like I think I would put that in there with that with that description So we talked about a night's tale earlier and night's perfect movie except for the stupid school We talked about a night's tale earlier and night's perfect movie except for the stupid Anyway, yep. That's the part where they suddenly are in medieval times and know the Queen song

It ruins the whole movie for the David Bowie song. No, it's great Yeah, you got me on that movie was full of like rock and roll songs and stuff and yeah Like the fact that they're doing yeah, the we will rock you at the beginning and stuff and it's part of it. Like, I love it. I know, but for me it takes me out of the experience. It ruins the effective response. So I couldn't do that for that. But I love the movie. For some reason, all I can think about is just like, mmm, he took me out and nobody's dying of plague. Have you seen Spider-Man into the Spider-Verse? Mm hmm. Of course, I have.

That is a perfect movie. Agreed. Yep. I love that movie. It's it's funny. The soundtrack, like the song when he leaps off the building, that's my walkout song. Like that is one of my favorite. I'm going to hit a PR right now. Songs. It's visually stunning, both that and the sequel,

where I literally verbally said, whoa. Yeah. Having Nicolas Cage, Spider-Man Noir. Yeah. John Mulaney as the pig. Yeah. Yeah. Very, very good. Keith, what would be your ideal

glaze rated movie that fits all of those structures? Get back glaze rated like I don't know movie that fits all of those structures? Get back to me. I don't know. So maybe to help you, because there's that's a 10 out of 10 movie, but there's also seven out of seven movies. Oh, we were we were going to get into that. So like, yeah, explain that one. Yeah, segue to that. So a seven out of seven movie and I did not come up with this.

This was like some random person on Instagram, but Cody and I have adopted it. So seven out of seven movie is like it's not a perfect movie, but it's perfect for what it is. Oh, OK, I got you. So like it's like a good bad. It's a good, mediocre move. Elf is a seven out of seven. Sure. I don't think I've ever watched it like a like a good chick flick.

Might not be like a, you know, it it's not gonna be a 10 out of 10 But it's a 7 out of 7. Mmm. I like that logic. No, I don't need to sway my My my I am BD glaze ratings because like I'm instilled in what I write stuff But I do like that logic if it's like it's a really good and it's John in its will There's a cat cat. There's an orange cat. What's that one's name? This is Jolene. Oh, don't take my man. Yeah, because she is Auburn here. It's still your man.

That's exactly it. That's what's slappy chair. That actually has to do with Jolene, and she's in it right now. I know it's not great for the podcast, but just to show you guys. So she just sits in the chair and she just loves like, Oh, but slaps. Yeah, it's just slaps. My mom would have already free and like, if you stop, she'll like, yeah, what is this? What is this?

I same, like bite at you. And yeah, that's cute. I'll be mad at you for stopping. Yeah, she was a good sloppy chair. Glad I asked what that was. How many cats do you guys have? We have two. So that one. And then you guys saw on the last time with the podcast,

Dixie was just kind of chilling on my lap. She's a lot more floppy. You know, like, yeah, that makes sense, describing a cat as floppy. Yeah, Jolene goes into nuggy form. She tenses up. And Dixie will kind of flop. Katta's floppy. Yeah, Jolene goes into Nuggy form like she tenses up and Dixie will kind of like flop. But they're both named after powerful like country kind of. Stuff.

I just highlighted a word, Keith. And I'm interested to hear how you say it. I didn't. Patagogy. Post. Patagog... I don't do Patagogy. Patagogy.

I don't know. Oh. I was like Patagonia? Like no. Patagogy. You teach this? I don't know. Teach me what this word is.

Uh, Patagogy is basically like when talking about don't know. Teach me what this word is. A pedagogy is basically like when talking about a teacher like a teachers pedagogy is basically like their. Their style, their ethics, their like way of. So what is your like? Your form of. Gotcha. You see, you had mentioned earlier that you literally teach a Harry Potter class. So is this like, do you, are you in a public school or is this more of a private school?

Because I like, like what, what Harry and just like, that's the, that's just like an elective of, you know, is it because it's through? It's not an elective. Nope, it's their senior year English class. That's wild. Mythology, metaphor, and symbolism. I mean, I guess I had a whole, my senior year, literally I think we spent fucking like 80% of it

talking about Beowulf. So I mean, this would be more relevant than fucking. It would. It's the same, because I've taught both regular English 12 and the Harry Potter class in the same year. And a lot of times, it's the the same assignment it's just with completely different texts that are happen to be more fun and there's a continuity to it. How much of it is replaceable with Star Wars? I would need to read it but I could probably teach

the exact same thing like again it's it's... Have you ever heard the argument? Of course that's well that's pedagogy. Well, I mean, all of it is. It does. But have you ever heard that comparison that Star Wars and Harry Potter are the same story? Yep. Same thing with Stranger Things. Yep. Yeah.

You got the orphan, the uncle, the wizard that are and we start the year going over the archetypes where you have the hero and their first essay is on the hero's journey. And yeah, it all kind of relates, but the skills are, you know, it's so much deeper than just that because they're still doing the English skills, you know? So like book three, we have a mock trial and we use California law to put Sirius Black on trial. And they like have to research the laws and make their arguments and- Cause that was my next question.

Cause in university, that's what I would do in cultural studies. You would get like your fiction, which would be like, um, the beyond the Saragasso sea, and then you would get like the, um, the structure. And then you would have to take those two and combine them. Right. So you would get like your bell hooks. Okay.

How does bell hooks go along with this? So that's so cool. They're doing that in grade 12 in California. Yeah. I didn't get that till second year university. Right. And so the same thing where like I noticed I did not write an essay that didn't have a prompt until college. So much of it is like, okay, like, you know, the book one essay, like, how does Harry go through the Harry's like go through the hero's journey? And so you just rephrase the thesis and you're like, Harry goes through the hero's journey by blank, blank and blank. Like, I was so used to that.

And then I got to college with the like, write about something. I'm like, what do you mean? And they're like, I can do that. So yeah, book six is right about something. And so you get really cool essays that are, you know, everything from like how a mother's love transforms the morality of a person to like the importance of friendship versus followers to like the importance of a name and what a name means to like, you know, blood status and like all kinds. It's really, really kind of cool.

Yeah. And that's dope. Yeah. One of those things again, like in university, go ahead and write something and you're like, I can just do that. Yeah, you're allowed and I ended up published because of that. So that's really fun. Yeah, I'm a bit of a nerd. I just don't bring it up here a lot. Yeah. So you had mentioned you guys live near a zoo. What animals have you stolen from the zoo? Yes, I highlighted that. I'm interested in that story. And was it a Komodo dragon?

No, those even behind the glass. I'm like, I'm like, he can he knows he can smell me. Like I I'm so freaked out by them. So we do live near a zoo. It's the Moorpark Zoo. It's actually a really cool. I don't know why you guys would, but if you ever come out to like come out to Southern California to visit, there's like a big.

Tanner Tommy did. Why shouldn't we? We'll take, we'll take this on the road. Yeah, but they didn't even come to like us. Sons of bitches. But they, there's the LA Zoo, which obviously huge zoo and whatnot. And there's also the Moorpark Zoo, which is a really cool zoo. Cause if you want to go into animal training, they're one of like two programs in the nation that teaches exotic animal training and stuff

so they have like tigers and Whatever monkey stuff, but I did steal something from the LA Zoo We went to brew at the zoo, which was like they closed the like park down for like Whatever and you have alcohol and you walk around and like park down for like whatever and you have alcohol and you walk around and So as we're leaving may have been a little on the tipsy side but as they're leaving they had like a little spot for you to like take photos and they had like prop animals and So I took a snow leopard like this big and I start like walking out with it.

And Cody's like, you can't do that. And I was like, I'm holding it here. I'm not hiding it. If they want to stop me, they will. And so I'm like walking out, holding it. No one stopped me. And so Stuart lives with us now. Stuart like it.

This is my now. Yes. The cats don't like him very much. Tell me about Grandma. about grandma at the wedding. It was a perfect day. The one almost miss happen. I think that's why it's like it's so great is because it didn't quite happen. So Cody and I standing up, we're getting married. It's all outdoors. And we had a falcon

deliver our rings. And so the falcon flies up. Our friend Nicole catches it, gets the rings. Yay. And she's about to fly the falcon back to the person who's going to catch him at the end of the aisle. Cody's grandma showed up late. Oh no. And walked in just kind of like, I wonder where it could be. Like not paying attention at all. And is about to go directly into the, like in line of where this Falcon is about to hit

her like right in the face. And I love it because you can see photos of like our bridal party like, like you can see it on their face as well because all the guests can't see it because they're all facing forward. But the bridal party standing up there can all see it. And we're all just like, and our wedding coordinator had coordinator had to like, basically, like kind of like tackle her and pull her out of the way program. So as we like, yay, we got married and we walked back down the aisle. She's like, comes, you know, brings us drinks and is like, hey guys, like, yay. That was beautiful.

Sorry, I had to tackle grandma. And we're like, no, it was fine. It was great. Um, so yeah, shout out to Kay, it was fine. It was great. So, yeah, shout out to Kaylin, our coordinator. She was amazing and shut out the grandma getting tackled. Yeah, she was not happy. She was like, I am the grants like I am the grandmother of the groom. And she's like, I don't care.

You're about to have feathers all up in. What is the charge eating a meal a succulent Chinese meal? Okay cat in the bathroom we've already covered Ponytail squat fail. I feel like I know where this story is going, but I'd love to hear it. Yeah Yeah I I had you know, they Say for girls to make sure that you have your hair in like a bun or like a hood over it. And I am I've fallen victim to that where I ditched a squat and

it pulled me down by my ponytail. And did we did. Did we ever see a video that I can't remember if it's something I don't think so. I don't have a video. I did have actually a video of it. I never posted it but I did post afterwards some pictures because one of the things that like, you know, kind of silver lining in it was instantly after that I had like at the training hall I had one guy running over taking my belt off one guy running over taking my belt off, one guy running over checking like, you know, vitals, one guy running and grabbing ice. Like it was, it was so quick of like, okay, here, like, how are you doing? What, you know, blah, blah, like they made me go to the, um, like urgent care to make sure I didn't have a concussion. No, I did. No, I did not. Um, the problem is, is like, sometimes your body will go into what's called vasovagal syndrome,

which is like where your body just kind of shuts down. So like it happens to me after I get shots where like I just kind of like faint a little. And so like that was kind of starting to happen where I was like really lightheaded and I was like, no, I'm fine. Like it didn't. I didn't hit my head or anything like that. Like I'm totally fine. And they're like, you're not you're not like welcome back here until you go and get checked. So you have fainted goat syndrome kind of just mostly with like needles.

And it's not even like it's not even like the look of them. It's the feeling when they go like into the skin. Yeah. Is it weird that I watch? No, I get that. I think that's helpful for some people. We're the nurse. I'll tell you that. Yeah, because I'm like, no, I'm watching. And they're like, just always watch them where I'm like, hey,

hasn't it doesn't happen every time, but just every once in a while. And they're like, OK, and they'll go like get like a pillow on a table in front. So Stephanie passes out, has passed out regularly getting her well multiple times in her life she's passed out and then also like when she gets her blood drawn it's somewhat common. Depending on where you get your you know the phlegm bottom of the stuff like they a lot of times they'll have a bed like if you ask for a different room like you can they'll like actually lay you down and like she's been doing that for the last several years with like no issues versus sitting in the chair. So something to keep in mind if you haven't had that opportunity. I think one of the funniest things ever is Morgan getting a tattoo after her first kid.

And she's had several tattoos before she gave birth and then got a tattoo and got sick. And as she's getting sick, she yells, I had a baby and I can't handle a tattoo. She was so mad at herself. I definitely so I have one like little little baby tattoo. And I told the guy to where I was like, Hey, like I've had this before. And he's like, okay. So he did like dot dot dot. And he was like, let's wait like good. Okay. Let's continue. You know, and he was, he was so great. Um, the worst was, uh, after my first ACL tear, I was like, Oh, well I'm not playing soccer

for a little bit. So I'm going to go get my ears pierced. Um, and pass. Um bit so I'm gonna go get my ears pierced and pass out. So I passed out in Claire's and the head of the fire department showed up with a stretcher and the next day at school I got asked if I was trying to rob Claire. Okay. Because I just saw the security be like people walk around and then they saw me like sitting on a bench What's up with your little toenail is he anything someone wanted us and someone wanted us to know about your little toenail and you know It's obviously there's a story that was so unexpected. There's not a story. It's just really It's obviously there's a story that was so unexpected. There's not a story. It's just really small Okay, so it is it is a little little toenail. It's like it's my like pinky toenail, but it's basically like non-existent So the question was basically when you go is your nails done? So they have to get out like an extra small brush there for you a toothpick. Oh my god

Yeah, they laugh and it's just on one foot. Or is it no both? Yeah, they're just those are just both super really small. Sorry, that was just not I was like, it's a weird fact about like what what would be brought up? That was it's the you know, we always like to try to break people at least once too. So that's a good one. Move on to some game? I just I gotta figure out the the sneaking a keg into a winery story and then yes we'll definitely go FMK and rush one. Oh yeah that's a good one.

That is a good one. It was the first of our friend group to have a baby and so it was the gender reveal party and they bought a keg for the gender reveal party and not a lot of people were drinking. On the girl's side, she was the first, on the guy's side, he was like the last. So like all of the guys are like, have, you know, they're like four kids and are done. And so we had this whole keg. So we're doing like keg stands and whatnot in the park. And then we're like, shoot, like we still have so much.

So we went to, it's called Stonehouse. It's like a outdoor, like kind of winery sort of thing out here. And so we go to Stonehouse, kegs in the truck and we're sitting in this outside section. And you know, we got our wine and everything. We're like, I think we can time it. We we're like we can go get the keg and bring it back so a couple of the guys went got the keg bring it into the back of like the winery

in this like little corner and so we're we're sitting there filling it up as we're going but there's still just so much left um because, cause like no one drink any at the, at the gender reveal. So we're just making friends and like being as creepy as possible where we're like seeing people be like, Hey, you like beer follow me. And so bringing them to the back of this winery, but we can't call it like call too much attention to ourselves. So, but we're also not letting them just pour a beer and walk away. We're making them do keg stands.

Of course, they're doing keg stands, but like we're we're cheering them on, but we can't cheer too loud. So we'd be like, can I say I think the best part of that is, hey, hey, do you like beer? We just came from a gender reveal and nobody drank this beer. I think the best part of that is hey, hey, you like beer? We just came from a gender reveal and nobody drank this beer. Yeah, you want in on it like, but everyone was like, yeah, okay, it's definitely just beer. We brought this to a gender reveal about a baby and nobody drank this.

What's also great is because you got like the like, you know, 21, 22 year old bros who are like, you know, they don't want to be drinking the wine there, but they're just there because that's where everyone is. But then there's also next to it, there's like a club that opens up a little later. So you got like it is very much like a kuguri kind of place. So you got the like 50 something year old women in like leopard print that are like, oh, do a keg stand. I'm still fun. And you're like, okay, cool. Let's go. Debbie. Oh,

okay. I thought I heard a good title in there. There's been a bunch that I've left. I think it was leftover cake from a gender reveal. I think that's really funny. Macy will be pleased. Also, can I just say that the kid that came out of that has one of like, like he's gotta be cool because his name is B****, right? That's unique. Like that's, I don't know if that's a- I feel like B**** has gotten really high

on the like baby list names. Yeah, but B**** like that kid's gonna be a demon hunter. Like that's his he's the only option in life player something yeah yeah is that name gonna get him made fun of or is it gonna be like cool like that's what i always worry about for the first little bit he'll get made fun of names like yeah but then he'll get into anime and realize he's the coolest guy in the world well i think we hit a lot of good highlights here. Probably roll into a little, we got a couple games, if that's alright with you, Scar. Yeah, sounds good.

So, are you familiar with FMK? Yes. So, we're going to give you a few topics here, and you just kind of rank them for us. So, had a few good ones submitted. I think I'm going to go with, I think I'm going to pick this one. So, FMK, we're going to go withman, Tacky, Lizards, and Butter. Don't know what any of these three have to do with each other. I don't know your opinions on them.

It was a good submitted one and I just want to hear. They all help. They all help on Axles. No, they all are things that I like can't touch. Okay, like I... Oh, wow. This is gonna be a tough one for you. Yes, I hate...

There's a video that Cody took at the Lyft Hardlovesie last year where I was trying to hype myself up to get the tacky. And I couldn't do it. It's like watching like someone try to like jump off of a cliff like where they're like, yeah, like I just couldn't quite do it. And same thing there was I was house sitting for my parents and they have two cats and the cats had brought in a lizard and the lizard was still alive and I could not for the life of me get the like courage to grab it and throw it out so there's like I don't know an hour or so like segment of me like putting pillows in a row to try and lead him outside and

Oh, it was it was bad Okay Tacky lizard buzzers. Yeah, I'm killing the... So butter's butter. Butter is the same kind of thing where it's just like if it gets on you, it's so oily that even when you wash your hands, like it still feels like it's on you. And I just don't like it.

So you can't touch butter, but will you so you don't eat butter either then? No, like that's that's fine. I just like like I can I can put like butter on toast or something but if I see someone like oh I'll... Where do you see when do you see people I mean I guess if you're like in an old timey place and they're churning butter at like uh renaissance fairs other like where else are you I don't know no just like I guess just yeah just too much is this one you think I can go to a if you don't think you can FMK? No, it's fine. I'm going to kill the lizard for sure.

That one was definitely the hardest. I can eventually like touch tacky or touch butter, but I could not get myself to touch the lizard. So I'm going to kill the lizard. I guess I will marry butter because it's probably the most useful in my life. And so then tacky. The worst tacky like getting like getting tacky office so much more I mean, I guess putting putting tacky on is hard to if it's like, like, it's not the exact. But it's worse when it's like when it's, I don't know,

you can almost never have the perfect tacky. It's either like soupy or just basically, it's almost too liquidy already, or it's just fucking, can't even break it apart. So like, I've seen people like, they'll go microwave it for like 10 seconds and then bring it back out. I don't know, I have not mastered the art

of getting the right tacky texture and then the humidity and the heat plays a role in it, too So that's like, uh, yeah Uh, no, that's good answer. I didn't realize it was gonna be that traumatizing for you But uh, I don't know who do you think did you you didn't submit that did you that was probably a big no That would have been Cody because he made fun of me for the lizard thing Can you can you butter up a lizard to get the tacky off? Oh, God.

A butter. Yeah, like I'm trying to think of like the worst way to combine all three of those. So it'd be like, oh, I can't get this tacky off. Using using butter. I'm sorry. Yeah. While a buttered lizard, like you would take the lizard butter on its belly and use it to wipe it off. Yep. A buttered lizard like you would take the lizard butter on its belly and use it to wipe it off Yep, the buttered lizard. That's actually a good title. It's not bad

Reliving trauma here. That's what we do Geez guess I'm gonna Mount Rushmore this. Mount Rushmore. Hey, what are your top tier sitcoms? Mount Rushmore, sitcoms, Alien Face optional. What? Oh, so there's a running joke that Mount Rushmore has an Alien Face built into the side. Oh, sorry. I was thinking you were talking about a sitcom called Alien Face.

And I was like, I heard of that one. OK. Yeah. Let's write it. I'm going to go. I mean, the office is classic, and that's a good like kind of comfort show. Parks and Rec, if you ignore the first season. I do love Parks and Rec. Kind of throwing it back a little bit and go Scrubs. Oh, wow. One of my like, not that old, damn it.

Yeah, no, but I think it did. But like, it was like around the same time. And it's like the kids know the office. They don't know Scrubs and they should. Scrubs was really good. Yeah. Yeah.

I've had like a surgeon tell me like at the time and like the mid 2000s that like Scrubs was the most accurate like at you know, at least in his you know profession or whatever just like they just have to have the levity or they'll go fucking crazy. Yeah, it's it's funny. It's got some gems in there. I quote it. I would think I see something about getting rebooted maybe or a spin off

or something. I might be completely wrong, but I feel like every show is almost got a reboot. I got to I'll have to fact check that because I don't I know they're bringing back Malcolm in the middle. What? Yeah, I did see that. Yeah, because the youngest one

doesn't like the biggest article about that was like the one that played Dewey, like he's just not an actor anymore youngest one doesn't like, I think the biggest article about that was like, the one that played Dewey, like he's just not an actor anymore and he doesn't want to be involved in it at all. So they actually recast him with someone that looks like what you would think Dewey would have grown up to look like. Yeah. So yeah, Office, Parks and Rec, Scrubs.

And I feel like there's probably another one, but I'm just I'm blanking right now. So I'm going to go with that one. I don't think I've watched a single episode. There's some good lines. And yeah, there's definitely ones that I quote quite often. Yeah, it's I think it's it's worth some some some watch I will Have a quick like something relevant to sitcoms

So like I don't know if I just I if I knew this or not And it just shows how ignorant I am about certain things but someone was talking about I was listening to the Podcast or radio station or something this morning and instead of saying sitcoms, they said situational comedy. I was like, fuck, that's what that means. That's that. It just like, it's just my, like I'm 40 years old, I'm almost 40 and like, I don't think I ever knew

that sitcom meant situational. That's like me with coconuts last week. I was like, yeah. Like, of course it is, of course it is. Yeah, obviously. Looking back now, it's like, oh yeah, I've known that forever. But like in the moment, like I paused while driving and I was like fuck

Forty years old and just learned the thing I should have known this whole time. It's so wait, you know Good to know. Yeah, I get really I get really annoyed when that's like that three camera sitcom I think I lose patience with those really quickly Big bang theory is one of them like where it's just literally just that you can tell what it is, but based on the shots is just three cameras. Um, that's kind of why I don't like parks and rec and, and the office because of the, we've talked about this before on this podcast. I don't like the weird, why are you filming a documentary things? And that's just my OCD.

Like I need to know, not OCD, whatever you call it, anxiety, whatever. Like I need to know why you're doing this the whole time. Yeah. Um, but definitely, yeah, I definitely agree with all of those. What's your, do you have an alien face? Do you have a fifth one that like you would include? I'm trying to think of like, what's your seven out of seven sitcom? Mm hmm.

And do we have to start including that in our ratings on the podcast now? I do love the idea of like a seven out of seven for stuff. I'm trying to think because some of the shows that I'm like thinking of where I'm trying to go through, they're not sitcoms, technically. Which one? The first one that came to my mind of a perfect show is Avatar The Last Airbender, but that's not... Not at all! The cartoon or the show? Yeah.

Okay. Well, Netflix did a reboot, a live-action reboot. Oh, now. Yeah, I got halfway through it and was like, no, I'm not watching this. Yeah. Netflix did a reboot, a live action reboot. Oh, no. Yeah, I got halfway through it and was like, no, I'm not watching this. Yeah. And then like Gilmore Girls is another one of my like comfort. Like I just kind of watch it fairly often. But the other one that came to mind, but I haven't.

Oh, Ted Lasso. Oh, hell yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I knew I was forgetting a good one. Yes. Good. Ted lasso has one of my emotional support couples Like they're they're not real but like I know that if they were angry whisper angry whisper guy and annoying British lady No, just like if they were to break up like emotional support like oh, yeah, it's Creek. Dang it. I'm like support like, oh, yeah, it's Creek. Dang it. I'm like, I know.

Where it's like, I know they don't actually exist, but if they were to like break up, I would be devastated. Who is that? So the Roy Roy. Yeah, thank you. Yeah. Roy and Keely, I do love the green whisper guy. I know. I think they do. Yes. But no, but the the assistant and his wife. Oh, they're such a lovely couple.

And I think they're like actually married in real life. But he like has like he's just like, oh, it's my wife. And like, they're just so. Oh, she's well, she's off screen and she's not an on screen character. I don't believe I think she is very nice. Yeah, I got you. But like, holy shit, a giant spider just showed up next to my computer is it a terrifying animal no I want to poke it I don't but I also like do your thing bro

let's move on unpaid and underrated. I will tell you, Keith, most of the ones on the bottom are, I think, underrated. So if you're going to cycle through those, that's how I sorted those. I might even just pull out some ones from just other stuff. But I'll circle to them. All right, so unpaid or underrated, game we like to play here.

We created it, et cetera. No one else did anything like it. So if you think something is overrated, go ahead and call it unpaid. If you think it's underrated, it's underrated. So the first one I'm going to hit you with, it's near and dear to me, cheesecake, unpaid or underrated. That's unpaid. Oh, no. I don't think cheese belongs in dessert. It's not, it doesn't, it's not cheesy.

It's not, there's no cheese flavor whatsoever. You find if I had some like weird cheesecakes, there's a million different flavors. Exactly. You tried it. But I've had so many times where they're like, oh, but this one. And I'm always, I will never.

It's always bad. But I also will be that person that'll be like, you know what, maybe it is this one and I'm always I'm always there. But I also will be that person. I'll be like, you know what? Maybe it is this one and I will try it. I. The only time that it's ever been like, oh, this is good. It was like a cheesecake pudding thing. And or like, like it was like a Jell-O mix kind of thing. And it had like a graham cracker crust,

almost like little cupcakes with like strawberries on top that was that was bomb. Right. Unpaid or underrated theme parties. Underrated. I love a good theme party. We tend to throw a lot like pretty much everything that we do my friends Go in wholehearted and I appreciate that so much about them. So even our Christmas parties will be themed So this past year was Christmas in July in December The previous year was a Kirk Smith. so it was Costco themed. Yeah, I love a good theme. My 30th birthday was Derby 30.

So they had to like dress like the Kentucky Derby. I've thrown some good parties in the past. I love a good theme. I love when people commit to a good. Now, the only negative I would see to that is like, I don't want to be having all these fucking wardrobes in my house and I don't want to be storing all this shit that might come be relevant in five years for another party. And I don't know, are you just buying, are people just buying like the $30 Amazon things and just throwing them away for costumes? Or are they just getting really creative with stuff they already have?

I think that that's part of it. And I would say a lot of times I we try to have themes that like you don't need to like have a costume for Um, or like you can work with stuff Now do I have friends that like will go out and buy stuff? Absolutely because I did for my bachelorette. It was millennial movie masquerade So you had to dress as someone from like a millennial movie? Um like iconic movie And so did I have one of my friends get like the full outfit from Pretty Woman and like the full outfit from the Lizzie McGuire movie? Like, yes.

But could you also just like one of my friends had a white t-shirt and cut holes in the like boobs and was like, I'm Regina George and killed it. And that was great. So yeah, I think like the Kirkland Christmas one was more just like you wear comfy clothes. You don't necessarily dress like a Costco. I don't even really know what you do. They're slightly too big. I got a medium, but it fits like a large. Yeah. All right. Unpaid or underrated?

Pink Starburst. Underrated. Pink Starburst are the, I do a little analogy with my students. And we heard. On Valentine's Day, I give all of them pink Starburst. And the analogy is that like, imagine, okay, so like you're a kid and you went trick or treating for Halloween and you open up the little two pack of Starburst, right? And

like, what's the best case scenario? It's two pinks. And you're like, yes, got two pinks. Now the other case is that you open it and you get two yellows And you're like, yes, got two pinks. Now, the other case is that you open it and you get two yellows and you're like, so you throw it back in the pillowcase and you eat all the good candy first. And then you kind of like go to the yellow when like there's nothing else really good. And so I tell them, never let anyone treat you like a yellow Starburst. You are a pink Starburst. And so pink Starburst, both the most delicious and just a good metaphor. I think, yeah, I know that they can buy it and had a Starburst in forever, but that's a fair like, I don't know, is that like a common like, like the historically people

consider the pink Starburst the best flavor? It's not just like a Oscar opinion. I think red is the most popular. Yeah, I would say I don't I don't like cherry in general. One around Valentine's Day, you can buy the like pink, like all pink flavored ones. But I do have to because I teach high schoolers to like you get those like obnoxious kids like I like the yellow ones and you're like well shut up that's not part of the metaphor. So I always have to preface it of like hey guys like I'm going to give you guys like

an analogy here and I need you to go with it and if you disagree that's fine keep that to yourself but like shut up okay. You will enjoy this and like it. I like your Patagonia's over there. Patagonia's. Yeah. I do like it how you've referenced some of your teaching skills. I'd dig it. All right. Unpaid or underrated? I'm going to do four. So I'm going to do a couple here. Pepperoni. For the most part, that's unpepperoni. It's usually so greasy and not cooked well. There is one pizza place near us where I do like their pepperoni on their pizza, but most

of the time I'm going to pick it off. It's like bacon when you go to a fast food restaurant where it's just sad and it doesn't belong there. Mm, for the shitty bacon. I had the perfect breakfast sandwich the other day where it actually came with so much bacon and it was fresh and good and it made it so disappointing for the occasional time I do get a fast food

breakfast sandwich, it's just like this is trash all right so piggybacking off the pepperoni pizza I guess let's go pineapple unpaid or underrated it doesn't have to be in correlation with pizza but it's just no I like that you said piggybacking there it was about bacon and pepperoni either either answer is going to be underrated pineapple is, both on pizza and off. I agree. Like, I'm not going to go to like Italy and be like, can I get a pineapple? Like, that's that's a different thing. But if I'm at Papa John's, like, absolutely pineapple can be on pizza.

But yeah, pineapple by itself as one of my favorite foods just in general And for a very long period of my life I had we used to call it an on-deck pineapple where we had one cut up in the fridge and one Like on the counter ready to be cut up. Yeah, I have a one follow up before I hand off the range of Joey Do you own a pineapple corer? No, it's like the cool so like I don't know. Yeah, I've seen the they're they're so convenient actually I think it even it doesn't just cord it also

There's probably a better term for it, but it cores it and peels it you literally just like ram it in it And then yeah, it's the greatest thing ever like I've seen them. I have not I do not have one I just big big Cody it sounds like you got a, you know, you got a good stocking stuffer idea. Does that thing where you hit the pineapple and then like break them off in little pieces actually work? Has anybody tried that?

I have never tried that. I just... I know like the leaf trick. Yeah. Where you like pull the leaves. And then I will never forget being in Hawaii as a little kid and this like old Hawaiian woman showing how to like choose. And it was the sound that you flick here should be sound the same when you flick a pineapple.

Geez, I didn't know that. I yeah, but that's how I pick my I don't buy enough pineapple, I guess. It's been a while because I don't buy enough pineapple. I guess It's been a while cuz Cody doesn't eat fruit. So like Cody's neat fruit. Not really. He'll eat watermelon. So I have watermelon cut up. I Love watermelon. All right unpaid or underrated Murder podcast murder podcast paid I can't get into them

I know they're really big with the girlies and like so many of my friends are so into them. And I just, I tried one and it just started talking. It was for the Zodiac killer. Cause I was like, okay, I've heard of this. Like that should be interesting. And it just started talking about like how people now were married because they went to Zodiac Killer meetups. And I was like, okay, we're glorifying this psychopath who killed, I can't, I can't get into it. I saw this one thing and it was somebody telling a story about how their, their mother was

killed by a serial killer and Somebody started talking about how much they love murder podcasts and this person said hey Kind of don't love this subject. My mom was killed by a serial killer and the person was like, oh that must be so interesting Why don't you get on one of those podcasts and like the person just like shut down? Yeah. And it's, it's just like, it's, you know, I'm not going to, I'm not here to. It can anybody's yam or whatever. Yeah. Yeah. That word.

But at the same time, I'm just like, I, like, I watch documentaries. I don't mind, right. I'm watching the time and all killers right now. I'm and that kind of stuff, But you know, there's, you can't normalize that in your life. Like there's an aspect to it that it's creating sociopathy, I guess. Like you can't be so numb to that concept. Right? So yeah, I'm with you on that. I guess that's where I'm going with that. I will stick with my like fairy smut audiobooks and be. Yeah, I will stick with my supernatural

stuff where ghosts exist and scare you in the dark because itrated chat gbt. Chat gbt is under. Yeah. How many essays have you got from chat gbt? Well, a lot. Oh, good. So. There are some really great teacher a.i. tools and that can help where like I show my kids

be like at the beginning of the year of like, hey, this is what I use. And that pretty much stops it. Cause it, there's a thing where I can see a play by play of their, of their writing. Very good. So it will show me if there's big copy and paste. And then it also will analyze the writing

where it'd be like, this writing pattern was a little weird where like all of a sudden there was like a bunch of stuff or there wasn't a whole lot and then there, you know, whatever. So it'll analyze that and that's kind of helpful. But I show them how we can utilize, because I show them we do a prompt with ChatGBT,

and so we talk about what is a good prompt to be able to put in there? What would you type in there? And then they realize, okay, now let's score using the rubric, and they're like, oh, this is, this is, at first they're like, that's so good, and I'm like, okay, but did it answer the prompt? And they're like, oh, no, it didn't. And I was like, yeah, it said a'm like, okay, but like, did it answer the prompt? And they're like, oh no, it didn't.

And I was like, yeah, it said a lot of fluffy words, but it didn't actually answer the prompt. Like this is a D paper at best. And that's if you got it past me to like, you know, whatever. I was like, now what we can do is, hey, chat GPT, proofread this. Or hey, chat GPT, help me, you know, transition from this to this better.

Like how would you do that or whatnot? So being able to utilize it as a tool, I think of it as like the same ways we should think about calculators now, where it's like if you had a calculator on a test, you're not gonna automatically get all of your answers correct, but it helps. Chat GPT is not gonna do the thinking for you,

but it can help you. So I think it's just another tool that a lot of teachers get really scared of. And it just needs to be taught properly with them. So I use it in my classroom quite a bit. I love that answer. Teaching them how to use it, because they're going to use it in their real life and like whatever their jobs are going to be. They're going to be using it.

They might be podcast hosts one day just sitting there on chat, GVT for the entire podcast, getting answers, unpaid or underrated, halara. Underrated. I don't know how much you guys know about this. Maybe your wives do. It's just I took a quick I took a quick chat, chat, GVT of it. Any girlies that are in any sort of like fitness and like don't like wearing like you know real pants Hilarious amazing where it's like those athletic dresses that have like this shirt like shorts underneath But they also have a bunch of other stuff and it's just become like one of my favorite brands that actually just fits really well So any of the girlies listening out there if you haven't you've gotten like the Instagram ads for it and you're like,

Oh my God, I keep seeing this. It is actually a good product. Okay, I guess my last one unpaid or underrated the Dixie chicks. Dixie chicks are. So one of our cats is named Dixie. And it's not just because like we're like huge Dixie chicks fans, which I know they go by the Chicks now. Yeah, I was going to say, do you acknowledge that they shortened it from Dixie to Chicks? Yes. We just named Dixie before that.

But the reason for it is because the Dixie Chicks, and I'm just going to refer to them as that for this. The Dixie Chicks are the most punk rock band to exist. Because they were a country band that decided to say F you to the government because they did not support a war. They got death threats from like their major fan base. And instead of being like, oh, I'm so sorry, they wrote a banger of a song called Not Ready to Make Nice. And it's so good and they just kind of doubled down and we're like no and I Love that for them. Have you ever heard the theory?

And I hope somebody could prove me wrong about this The person that helped them right Earl has to die Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So apparently Earl exists in this fictional town of that writer who has written a bunch of different songs for other country people and everything he has ever written exists in this fictional town in his head. And Earl is actually a mechanic from another song that he wrote. And I'm sure we

could chat GPT this and figure this out really quickly. Um, but yeah, so if you look up that I've heard this, but I love, I'm going to like make a note for, I will take a dive down that everything's kind of like Disney Pixar, like how apparently like Pixar is all within the same universe. It's, it's one of those things Pixar, like how apparently like Pixar is all in the same universe. It's it's one of those things where I was just doom scrolling and I got this video and it was like this dude is the same dude from another song and it was written by this guy because he writes everything about this fictional town and all of his songs come from this fictional town. and all of his songs come from this fictional town. Um, love that. Are we looking it up? Are we going to do that right now? I was gonna die.

It's good. Yes, this is making for bad podcasting. But I'm suddenly into it. Yeah, I'm super fascinated by it. I mean, when teaching my students about how to write a thesis, I do bring up, like, basically conspiracy theories that people have, but like it needs to be ones. And it's usually more about like movies and TV shows. So this would be a really cool one.

So his name is Dennis Lindy. Okay. Um, he wrote burning love for Elvis. He wrote the top, the neck. Okay. So he wrote long, long he wrote, Long, Long Texas Road, The Love She Found in Me, Walking a Broken Heart. So John Deere Green, he wrote a bunch of these. Colin Baton Rouge, he wrote. Oh, and that has my name in it. So. So yeah, I guess the thing is, like everything he wrote had to do with that. If I'm wrong... I don't care. I like it. Let's get into it.

All right. Well, I think you passed on Payton Underrated. Indeed, indeed. I mean, it's your turn then. Do you have anything for us? I have a few. One is really short, but this is just a fun one. How many chugas before choo-choo?

I don't know what that means. Five? Like how many, if you were to impersonate a train, how many chugas? Chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug. Chooch, seven. I go seven. I would say eight. Yeah, like. I would say eight.

Yeah, like five. Well, yeah, I'm going seven. Well, is it the chugga is one or chugga chugga is one? Anytime you say chugga is one. Okay. Chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga ch was thinking like to me chug a chug. It is one so That's hard right my brain It's counting it doesn't I can't compute so if I said Well, what did I say? Did I say four initially so then it would be eight in my

Yeah Or eight is like the yeah, that would have to that chugging. Why is mine seven chugging? or eight is like the yeah that would have like a little planner and so like when I have my planner for my students because I teach three different classes and so it's all like all of the freshman honors is blue. All of the Harry Potter is purple. All of like sophomores are green or whatever. And so we've had the discussion about what color is each subject. So if you had to assign a color for like the core subjects in school. So I always start with like math and English

because I think those are kind of core words. Yeah, but I feel like you're a therapist asking me this question. So I always start with like math and English because I think those are kind of core words. Yeah, but I feel like you're a therapist asking me this question. Oh, I'm sorry. No, there is a correct answer, but... Because like math is red, English is blue, history is purple. What else is there? I mean, you got science and. Language or like science is also purple. Yeah, I'm so far removed from an education system. I don't know, but I use that.

I use the concept at work all the time on my spreadsheets and in my personal life of like all in its logical things for me, like anything that's like, uh, something that still needs to be addressed as yellow, anything that's like permanently done is red, or permanently done in a negative manner would be red. Anything permanently done in a positive manner is green kind of thing. So like I've got like, it says essentially, yes. But as far as I, I have no concept of how that would colors coordinate with, with topics of.

And that's why I said it feels like you're a therapist asking it because I'm associating my emotions to the colors, right? Which is kind of an interesting, yeah. So I agree with you. I think that math is red and English is blue. Cody is the opposite. I would say history is yellow. Science is green unless it's chemistry.

Chemistry could be green. Yeah. Because there's a lot of like problem solving, right? But it's funny how we do kind of, there is sort of a sociological aspect to it because we do associate certain things. Like if I were to say like what color is a triangle, a good majority of people would say the same color. So I'm going to write it down. What color would you say a triangle?

Green. Green. I was going to say. Didn't work out. Just curious. No, because like there would be a lot of silently judging. No, no, no, no. But it's just it, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, Um, squat is red and that lifts our purple. Apparently I like purple.

Yeah. I don't know. I don't colors and I, I don't. The unique question, but I don't have an answer for it. I don't think. No, but I don't have an answer for it. I don't think no, I think you're mathematically inclined so I don't think you would have the the association of color to emotion to to experience That's what we love about you

I will like argue about it, but there is no right or wrong answer It's more of just like yeah, where where do you associate or how does that associate to whatever? Which I always... Well I think with me, putting colors with gym stuff would always be skewed because I'm Mr. Orange. Everything is orange and black. So I'm not going to pull out a random pink or a purple or a red or something. Cause I don't, those colors don't exist in my space. So it's hard for me.

Right. So what if you had it, like you're talking about a spreadsheet, like what if you like were had a spreadsheet and you were like, So I do have some colors, but I don't necessarily, I just have more like, I don't know, like, or basically my favorite color would be like highlighted specifically for PR so like on my literal spreadsheet of like my best lifts or whatever like the the highest one is like I do have it in an orange or uh but yeah I try to I do like I do prefer a spreadsheet to be somewhat cleaner and when I can be and I when I we use a communal spreadsheet Sometimes on sheets at work sometimes I just had sometimes like four times

But uh, there's one kid that doesn't he just I hate when people fucking highlight the entire line on a spreadsheet The lazy way rather and it's only like a two column line And then it's like so then if we delete that and then it's still stuck with like the whole line highlighted past the spreadsheet and I'm like you're so fucking lazy just take the extra second and only highlight like the two columns don't just push the one button and then like don't clean it up after yourself it's sorry that was a little rant valid if I felt a wee I feel so and then if we have time I I have one more question. Yeah, fire away.

And I thought of this one as we were talking because we're talking about the zoo and when you're talking about the dog and could take a dog. That's another conversation that we've had is what do you think is the biggest. Oh, we've had this on here before. Yeah, I think I said coyote. I am fairly certain I could take one or two coyotes.

If it's my safety at risk. One or two fits my kid's safety at risk. Maybe more. Yeah. Like it's, it's the like out of a hundred fights, you win at least 51 of those. Yeah. Yeah. It would probably win every, it would probably be a coyote

I'm not gonna sit here and say I could take a bear cuz I'm not you know, not one of those Jim bros But I'm fairly certain I could take a coyote or three Yeah, I would I would hope I could I could I could Win prevail over an animal that weighs less than 100 pounds or 150, maybe 125 pounds, anything under 125 pounds, I would hope I had a good shot of just, cause no matter what it is almost, I would imagine that like just the fact that I weigh twice as much of it, I could literally just lay on it and fucking break its neck at some sort of, if I had to, like if my life was in desperate fuck, like I'm not going to, I don't have no desire to

hurt and you're killing animal, but if the hypothetical situation is you're in an arena if you don't do this you fucking it your your wife dies If you don't kill this animal, so I'm gonna fucking kill everything you put in front of me, but realistically anything Half my body weight. I'll fucking destroy Up to like there's some scrappy ones that are small like a like a honey badger or something like yeah They're kind of small, but like I don't know I Don't think me. I don't think me and a 90 pound Wolverine are going Head-to-head like I think that was a hard question take me the fuck out Yeah, but a coyote because they're just dumb feral dogs

Right like pretty quiddity. Yeah. Yeah, but if they circled me and it was just me and you know, I'm tired of and sleeping whatever like I might I might get taken out by coyotes. Right. If I'm outside and when 51. Yeah. A couple coyotes circle my daughter. Well, you're gonna have a lot of dead coyotes on your hand because that's like your your brain would siphon that differently right? Right. My mind is just it's hard for my mind to work with that too because it's like okay well like if the question was basically the biggest animal then it's like well you I just picked the biggest you know docile animal versus you know obviously a small aggressive animal so it's kind of like I don't know it's oh those like think tank questions always throw me off cuz it's like well if this then that and my man Like there's not a perfect answer for anything so it's like and then you know I don't know, but I hope I never have to kill anything

I love that like if this was like a bro podcast like a bear or I could take a bear Like no the fuck you got into an argument with a girl that was like a kangaroo. We're like, no, no. She's like, no, like you guys don't understand. We're like, no, like you're just wrong. Like they would in no scenario. It's a zero out of 100 chance. Like, yeah, you get you get ringed by the kangaroo every time.

There's maybe a chance you could make a baby date. The 40-pound kangaroo. No, even even those 200 pound kangaroos, there's a chance you could intimidate the 40-pound kangaroo. No, even those 200-pound kangaroos, there's a chance you could intimidate. Maybe if I got a sneak attack on it, around its neck, before it realized I'm there. I don't know. Yeah. I've seen videos of dudes that just walk up and they slap it and the kangaroo's like, oh, you're a thing?

My bad. But like if that dude was meek, let's say, and that kangaroo was like, no, I'm going to take you out, bro. No, you weren't taking out that kangaroo. Like you got lucky with the intimidation factor on that one. So I guess if we're talking like full on fight, I'm still going to say coyote. But it's again, that's a realistic version of one I have to deal with. Yeah. Right. When my girl's outside and I'm on the deck, I'm watching for coyotes. Like that's a realistic thing I've had to think about. I'm not watching out for. Mount lions or bald eagles or anything that could take out my three year old.

I'm watching out for the one thing that potentially might. And that's why we keep a, an ax or a machete very close at all times. All right. I think we did it. Or do you have to do what you definitely say? That's that's all the questions that. That's awesome. Well, we appreciate this was a blast. Anything else you have?

You have nothing else you want to cover? Or any any any any any call outs in the power lifting you want to make? Anybody in your weight class that you think you're gonna just dominate, destroy? Or is you get it? Have you got a pretty, uh, I don't know. I don't think Dave does the, I don't know how much he's the roster he's put out as far as like who's in what weight class yet or not. No, I haven't really. Um, and I think I might, uh, depends on, cause really and I think I might Depends on because I think I might be not in the weight class that I read anyway, okay, so Twist on that what kind of numbers you're looking to hit just so anyone listening can kind of get like a gauge on

You know your strength level anything over like an 800 Impressive. Something total. I did the competition with Big Andrew a couple of months ago in San Diego area and that'll be. Or you know that was you did something more recent. Yeah that's right. Yeah, so I would I would love to just kind of like be able to compare those numbers and hit similar if not better numbers. Yeah, so I would say like above 830 would be a really good day. That'd be awesome. That would be awesome. We can't wait to see it. be awesome. We can't wait to see it. All right.

I'm just I'm just I'm just so busy. I'm so busy all the time everybody Oh, no, I got a. I got a thing about that. It's not even it's more of a I don't know. I think it comes back to the change thing. If you want, I can talk about it in the episode or I can just say when Tommy was talking about

how budget is so subjective and how like you can't really use that word in my head. I was like, so is busy. Yeah, that's true. Like Keith might be busy, but he's not as busy. Yeah, he's not as busy as Joey with two kids and I'm not as busy as Tanner with four kids and so on and so on and other people with more like things going on. It's like a Spongebob quote. Like, are you busy or are you busy?

Busy? Yeah. And I was like, everybody just accepts Tommy saying like, like budget is subjective, but everybody rips on Keith for saying he's so busy. Like that kind of wasn't fair. But I'm not going to like come to your defense. That's not on brand for me. I have a lot of free time, but I also get overwhelmed extremely easily. Come to your defense But I also get overwhelmed extremely easily

so me me living in a Pateous a state of panic and overwhelm and anxiety and like having to come down from that that time doesn't exist like yeah, like if I wasn't productive during that time and I'm just zoning out because of my mental health like that time doesn't Exist towards being productive. So in my mind that didn't exist So that's just still adding on to the workday kind of thing. So no, I get it Like I said, I'm not coming out in your defense in public Cody do you want to jump in? Oh, yeah, he's in the car with Wow, he's still driving still driving areas. Yeah There's big Mikey my co-worker that was forced to listen to the whole thing

sorry mickey and now he has to rate it on a scale of seven out of seven there's seven out of seven so is is the massnomics 10 out of 10 and we're seven out of seven and we're 7 out of 7? Is that fair? I'm not familiar with that. It's the other way around. Oh, that's true. We do. Get the balloons. That's true.

I do as far as following that logic because even when they do the interviews, it's very surface level interviews because they want to keep it to like an hour interview and then save the other hour to shoot the shit so like we yeah you know like we've had some serious goose moments on here and they're mostly silly goose and that's the seven out of seven all right it's really that's a fair assessment i dig that uh not to not to knock on the sisters too hard but yeah i anytime someone wants to give us credit i love it what's meant to, and that's why we're all here. Yeah, we're all perfect in our own way. We're just slightly more perfect than they are.

I will say one thing, just you were talking about the Hong Kongs. I tend to listen to my audio stuff at a kind of faster pace. And the other day was the first time that I heard the theme song at like the pace that it's like at one time speed. And I was like, what the heck? It's like what I normally hear it is like... Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do It like gets you all pumped up and stuff. And then I heard it. I was like, no, like that's wrong because I'd only ever heard it go so fast. I really love when I listen to Mastanomics, I listen to it at one point five.

So you hear that. And it's just so and I'm just like, I know the song and saying what the the the one crazy bitch that they do all the time. Oh, yeah. Yeah. It's so funny hearing that so fast. It sucks. You're like, that's how the song goes. Where the the one that's great is one week because that's already so fast. Yeah. The it's been one week like that song is already so fast.

So hearing it at. Yeah, I think I'm. Depending on on my mood between 1.4 and 1.5. Yeah I'm usually at 1.5 for Mastnomics and I don't listen to our podcast so. I listen to the intro and the outro typically. Yeah I'm not gonna listen to my own voice for two hours. I want to hear what Nate actually kept in and what he didn't. Like sometimes he'll like put a lot of work into like keeping some of the post and pre-show and other times just like nothing. Like fucker, I know we talked about something good. Wrong again, Keith.

Honk honk.
