Has anybody seen the, oh my God, Keith riding the horse cock? Seen it? I shouldn't have gotten it in the Discord. Where's that? Where's that? In the how to get strong training. This is good. Oh man.

All right. Oh, we got, that's probably enough something or another we can put in the pre-show. Shout out topaid and underrated podcast. It is episode 112. And if you didn't know, this is a podcast. It's by crew. It's for crew. Sometimes, occasionally, on the rare occasion, we're mocked by the crew, but not very often, but every once in a while maybe. Uh, and you might've noticed that I said, we're it's by crew and you might say. Big Nate. What's that mean?

Also it's big Nate here, by the way, big Keith here, by the way, and big Joey here, by the way, all within one vessel. It's like the Trinity of unpaid and underrated. Um, but the bike crew is very important this week because we have a gaggle of silly geese with us tonight. Joey and Keith, they're off gallivanting in the streets of Kentucky, I think, concerned about whether or not to pack pants. And so tonight, or this morning, whenever you're listening all over the world, uh, you'll have a different crew.

Uh, we've got one big Chris. Tell them, tell them hello. Big Chris. Hey guys. Big Chris. We've got a, we got a big Jen. Hey guys. Big Jen here.

For the, uh, I don't know, like 200th time we have a big Matt. What's going on guys? And we also have big Katie here as well. Hey guys, two chips and this cookie. Yeah, this is a loaded cookie tonight, a loaded cookie. It's like one of those monster cookies. We've got M&Ms and all of the things because Matt's a white rapper if you didn't know.

We'll just dive right into this. All of the important questions here. You might be saying, what are we doing today? We don't know. None of us have prepared. Keith and Joey gave us the login. We're just going by the seat of our pants, so bear with us. We've got questions Keith said I'm supposed to ask. First question. Did anyone pack pants for tonight?

Yeah, sure. Matt, I think this is a no pants party. No pants. All right. No pants party tonight. Okay, no pants. Listeners, never mind, what are you, what's everyone drinking? What do we got? Don't go first. I've got the summer berry from the fine water or water source. It's a fantastic seltzer. Big Jen, what are we drinking over there?

I got an Arnold Palmer half and half. Oh, you can't see it. In the Lift Hard Live Easy Cousy. I went for a red, white, and blue theme tonight, so I tried to wear and use as much red, white, and blue as I could. Yeah, the age-old, the Fourth of July's coming up here, so it's good that you're in costume, in the spirit.

Big Chris, do you have a drink named after you or a sandwich named after you for tonight? Something big and special. I do have a polar black cherry, but I also have a beer in my silly and strong Hawk. Coozy. Hawk Oh, I thought you said Hulk. And I was like, did they do a Marvel collab? I didn't know we could. They had that kind of money. I didn't know that was a goose. Yeah. Who would have thought?

Wonder if that goose packed pants. Big Matt, what kind of fancy smanche beer are you drinking over there? How did you know? So as I left this double IPA off my Masonics horse on that coaster, it is a recall a joint theory out here. And it is a easy double IPA called Sacrifice of the Damned. And it is absolutely fantastic.

After that, is it all I get to. We got a draft. I have a nice passion fruit, HD Trader, sparkling water, which is absolutely delicious. And it's a lot cheaper than the bootleg. Man. And Matt, do you also by chance have a Samsung dryer around? How would you know?

Ah. Can you cut that out in posts? I sure can't. It'll just be there forever. Matt, are you are you moving around a picnic basket? No, that's my cool. I keep down here to put my dress on. Like you just had a basket, like a nice little wicker basket.

How's my. Oh, OK. I see. I love my article. My walk cooler. I was like, you know what? Those are it would be legendary if you just had a nice wicker basket that you kept everything in maybe I will you need one what's everyone wearing tonight we already went over the the nether regions our house upstairs doing I'll go. I'm wearing natural for life because it is the most red, white and blue I can get. Perfect. And America is natural for life or something like that.

Yeah. Why not? Yeah. I have the weight is the number heavy is the feeling. The old school one, sure. Because after a barbecue you feel really heavy. That's why. I went for the nice summer color lifting department shirt in whatever the mint or island reef Dude, they're just making up colors at this point. They're just random word noun generator and with no sense of anything.

None of that makes any sense. I can't keep track. I can't even see color. Matt, what are you wearing? So seeing as though we are just over three weeks away, classic guy decided to break out first meat shirt from the first LeFar LeZee Classic. Wow.

And yeah, man, looking forward to heading to the west and northeast South Dakota and seeing all you folks. It's gonna be a good time. I can't wait. Sounds exciting. I'd love to be invited someday. I'm gonna meet you one day. Yeah, if you were real. Oh yeah, if I was real. Tom's gonna do a great job tonight. I was gonna say, I'm shocked Tom's letting you do this. Yeah, you'd be surprised what Tom would let me do. And then myself, I again, I said this in the pre-show

that may or may not make it. I had to constantly remind myself that I was doing a podcast tonight. And I just so happened to put on Masanomics related apparel this morning. So lucky me. I'm wearing a blast from the past. Matt had this on Instagram. I saw it recently. The Discord crew branded lift evil Masanomics collab shirt, the first crew exclusive piece of merch out that exists is a very exciting thing. I actually believe I can't even get that on the spreadsheet.

I don't know. We have to we have to verify that. That is his. Oh, no, he does have a shirt spreadsheet. I was thinking of his his Venn diagram, Venn diagram. But that's a different thing, charts and graphs. Yeah, we're gonna have to reach out to our charts and graphs department and figure that out.

Yeah. Is that staffed? Do we still have a budget for that? I think we actually tripled the budget from last year. Oh, that's good, that's good. Definitely tripled. Definitely tripled, yeah. Oh, we tripled.

We should have prepared a nice little roll call for Keith because he said he missed the roll call on the OK podcast last week. Was that in the show? Maybe that was not in the show. I think it was in the show. It wasn't? No, it was in the show.

Yeah. Okay. Joey's shaking his head no, but everyone else was, you're muted, Joey, suck it. I don't know how to get you unmuted, I don't know how to do this thing. Hey, look. How about that, there you go. Joey showed up.

I was like, I'm not even here, what are you talking about? You did. It looks like you're ready to host the podcast. Yeah. I'm just here to watch my baby for a few minutes, yeah. Make sure we get to bed all nice, we tuck us podcast. Yeah. I'm just here to watch my baby for a few minutes. Yeah. Yeah. Make sure we get to bed all nice. Can we tuck us in?

Actually, our charts and graphs department is going to be, unfortunately, sorry, guys, filled by AI soon. Ah, shoot. Yeah. Hey, I got a job. Yeah, it's much cheaper and easier, but we get to keep Nate. Yeah, hey, look at that. Bringing me back.

Appreciate that. Anyway, now I just wanted to jump in, say hi, give a bit of a listen. Not my episode, not my rodeo, not my clowns, but I just wanted to say hi, I love all of you, thank you so much for filling in today. I'll stick around for a few minutes, but ultimately, yeah, this is your episode.

Will you, will you? Jen looks so mad, she's just like, this fucking guy showed up I just want to know if you'll lay in bed and listen to the entire episode like Keith did that one time Should do the beds right there. Yeah, just like this is a very long cord just lay there the whole time Yeah, and I want you I don't I want your mic directly in front of your face Not that you'll ever use it, but I just want Just want it there mine's actually plugged in though. So it's it's probably worth more. Yeah, that's true You also have to take pictures yourself under the covers. Yep. Yep Matt what microphone are you using you sound so far away?

She probably put a little close on my face about that. How about that? How, how about that? How about that? How about that? How about that? All right, I'll go back on mute and just listen in. You better. If I find something funny to say, I won't say it. Bye! And that was a word from our sponsor, Joey. Use code Joey where all codes are accepted

for beards off your order or something like that. Liftbearded. Lift Joey, lift Dilf. That's his tagline if you didn't know. Anyway, we have another important segment that we have to hit before we do anything else so Keith doesn't shoot me in my sleep. For legal purposes, that is a joke. What did we think about last week's episode? There was a digital resistance? Huh? A rise maybe? A fall? How did we feel?

I think the episode was fantastic. That being said, I think that the price that these companies are charging for these things is like comically offensive. Like I can understand like not even a thousand, especially when you start talking about, oh, what's this going to replace? Nothing. They came to the conclusion like, yeah, like you're still going to have your cable tower. You can do all these things. Like, yeah, it'd be a cool little thing to have, but for $2,200 or whatever it is $2,400, whatever it was, like, it's like, do you actually expect people to pay for this? And I understand people who are influenced soon, sphere going to be getting them showing them off. But I don't understand how everybody can say like, yeah,

you know, $2,000 for this thing that has very limited use. And I kind of get the same thing with the total. I'm almost offended that people are actually selling these things. Dude, when they said, uh, that the tonal was like $700 a year on the subscription after I was like $4,800 or whatever it was like, that's crazy. But I also, I also love everyone that crapped on the tonal is like vultras incredible it's like it's not the same thing not the same thing it's all just magnets when you think about it, yeah They just made it a lot smaller Yeah, dude, we could probably get some people really fired up if we start calling the the vulture the tiny tonal

we can Yeah, that'll be our we'll take that to the the home gym Facebook group or whatever What if anyone packed a vulture tried to fly with it home gym con? As long as I didn't pack pants, they probably would. Yeah, you'd have room. People have it in his cargo pants. I'd love I'd love for someone to have just like a little sling, like a little bag

and just pull a Vultra out. Just not only does it fit under the bed, this one fits under the pillow. Yes. Yes. You could use it as the bed, this one fits under the pillow. Yes, yes, yes, yes. You could use it as a pillow. It's like the perfect size. Could snuggle up next to it. The podcast episode was good. The guys are always good,

but the best part about this week was when Big Choby right, put in the discord that I'm gonna get rid of all my rocks. I'm gonna get it all on my plates, all my barbells. Hey guys, come over so I can all hang around and pull this little string around. The best. We're going to get rid of all my rocks. Yeah. I think anybody else got some thoughts on this week's episode?

There's never any small amount of puke talk I won't take. But I'll give it a 5 out of 5 overpriced totals. Yeah. Underpriced, honestly. The volt, you mean the tiny total or the regular total? The tiny total. Yeah. Honestly, it's a deal at that point. You can't afford not to. Yeah, the puke talk was really interesting because Tanner has a lot of children and I

didn't puke for many years and then I had children and I've puked a lot and I'm just really proud of Tanner being able to get through all of that because I'd probably never puke the rest of my life if I didn't have these little children that, that make us puke is really like the key solution there. It definitely made me think back to when I actually was my last time. It's been about nine years. Lucky Doc. It's just, yeah, man, we could do, we- That one was drinking induced. Yeah. We've got some puke stories just as well as poop stories, but we don't have time to get into that.

Oh, I definitely do. Nah, we'll save that for another time. We've got, we've got food to discuss. Katie, you got any thoughts you need to get off your head, out of your head, off your chest, out of your heart? Well, they say that Vulture resistance is like 200 pounds. Yeah. There's a cat, there's a cat, there's a cat. Big Pepper making another appearance on Unpaid and Underrated because it's right around dinner time. I got 200 pounds of resistance off the Facebook marketplace for 180 bucks a couple weeks ago. So I did enjoy the discussion in the episode. So I'll give it five out of five weight GPTs. I haven't used that yet. It's good. It's good. If it is AI, do you think it could get the weights wrong then? I've heard large language models aren't good at math.

I'd be a little nervous to use one of these in all honesty. Only if it hates you. Oh. All right, I'm out. Thank you guys. I'm sorry to interrupt. Bye. Bye.

Joey's got to get all his jokes out. I don't have any. Jokes are funny. I don't do those. That's gotta get all his jokes out. I don't have any. Jokes are funny, I don't do those. That's not, that's not true. Bye guys. Bye. Wait, if AI is gonna become self-aware, it would have its own vested interest

in keeping humanity weak for the eventual takeover. So I think they'd probably end up, absolutely, they'd fuck up the weights intentionally just to keep us weak so that way we can't get strong. Yeah, no reason. What if it makes the weights too heavy so you hurt yourself? Little column A, little column B. Start declining, it would start declining the weights to weaken them. And then it would skyrocket them and just destroy

everyone. In all honesty, if you're using these technology systems, you're supporting a world in which robots take over and you die. Agreed. And so if you want to stand against the robotic resistance, you need to buy Strength Co-Plates. Yeah, we're all basically Kyle Reese. If you have Strength Co. plates, you're basically Kyle Reese. Yeah, I've always said that. I'll never stop saying that. I've heard you say that many times. I've always said that. Whoever Kyle is. Excuse me?

Excuse me? Huh? What? Who? GlazeSearch.com. Use code Joey for 10% off your search. So you can search movies like Terminator and find out who Kyle Reese is. Yeah, maybe. Probably not. Give it a 7 out of 10 because you... I'm not going to rip on Keith. I'm going to wait until I see him in person. One interesting thing I noticed, I was looking at the

podcast page for the podcast of this week, the episode 481, is Digital Resistance, the Future of Home Gyms, and the thumbnail they have on the episode has a different episode number. So, what a wild world. Just gonna call them out now. They need to get their stuff straight. Tommy, if you ever listen to this, you're screwed up. Episode 479 in the thumbnail, episode 481 in the title. What are we doing? Let's be professionals. Come on. They don't have a time to take care of them. Who messes up episode numbers, guys? Seriously.

Rookie move. Rookie move. Alright. We got one last question that we have to get to. Keith wants to know if anyone is packing pants for home gym con. And I wanna know, is anyone packing pants for the Lyft Hard Live Easy Classic? It's coming up soon.

It's a few weeks away. Are we gonna pack pants, everyone? That's a hot topic of discussion. Well, maybe the painter doesn't get his yard sprayed. Okay. Well, I was gonna say, I was going to pack even shorter shorts for this occasion, but you do bring up a good point about the mosquitoes. You got to watch out for the skeeters. Yeah, you got to watch out for them.

Pick you up and take you away in the west, northeast, south. You don't want to get stolen. No, you don't want to get stolen. And they've been extremely bad this year, even where I'm at. So I can't even imagine how bad it's going to be up there. Have any of you guys tried the bucket with the non toxic little doughnuts that supposedly kill all the larvae? Have you guys done any of that?

No, I haven't done that. I try it. It's been surprisingly effective. I don't know if that's just because, well, no, we've been rain like a mother effort. the They're in donut shape. Oh, okay. Like you put in the toilet or in the urinals. Yeah. Okay. You put in urinal cakes in your yard? Like water, like you get from the toilet. Yeah. Huh. Matt uses Dunkin' Donuts to get rid of mosquitoes. This is crazy.

I'm sorry. It's torus shaped, all right? What? There you go. Torus? Oh, God. Yeah, it's torus. Torus? It's a torus. All right. What? Taurus. Oh, God. Yes, Taurus. Taurus like the Taurus the Ford Hmm turtle. No It's a Taurus like a like a shape like a Taurus I

Think like the zodiac sign. Yeah Ford Taurus No, Ford Taurus. Taurus, yeah, Ford Taurus, huh. I don't know where you find... You put a Ford Taurus in the bucket and it kills all the mosquitoes. I don't understand how you find urinal cakes

that are shaped like Ford Taurus's, but good for you. I'm glad that you did that, Matt. I hope Tanner gets some of those for the summer. I think Matt should just pack singlets for the entire weekend. Yeah, that would be great. If you had a different, that's like some Jujy Mufu stuff

where you have just a different singlet for like every phase of the day. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm so down for that. It's not giving me ideas. I'm so down for that. I already have outfit ideas from previous conversations that I've had with people and I can't,

although I've already got like. There's already things in motion. There's already things in motion. There's already things in motion. Oh, a torta shape like a donut. Yes. Well then just say donut you idiot. Well I did and then you guys accused me of putting Boston cream in my water bucket in my backyard.

Man, I gotta get some different podcast hosts. All right. I'm a host. I'm a guest. Well, I don't know what any of this is. I think we're all guests. Joey was here and he left, so now it's just the inmates running the asylum. All right. We've got a...

I guess we have to do an ad read for Mastinomics. I didn't plan anything because also I just forgot we were doing this and I don't even know what we're doing. But I just want to let you know that today's episode is brought to you by Massenomics. You might say, Nathan, big Nate, Tom, what's Massenomics? And I'd say, I have no clue. I was thinking about that. It's really everything and nothing all at the same time.

It's a podcast. It's a lifestyle. It's a brand. In three weeks, you might have seen a billboard in your local town. Maybe you haven't. If you live in Aberdeen, you have. If you don't, maybe you've seen it online. But there's a special event coming up soon and we'd love to see you there.

If you have the opportunity to hop on a plane, a car, a horse even, maybe a motorcycle, a little little street bike, like our good friend Gary likes to ride, or our friend Matt, if you wanna hop on a big old cargo bike and ride across the ocean. Other Matt. Other Matt, yeah not this Matt.

This Matt rides donuts or whatever. Get 80 miles to the ocean. Other Matt. Other Matt. Yeah, not this Matt. This Matt rides donuts or whatever. Get 80 miles a gallon of this hug. Yeah. If you'd be so kind, join us out in Aberdeen, South Dakota for the Lift Hard, Live Easy, where the lifting will be hard, the living will be easy, and we'll never know what Matt's going to wear. So thank you for Mastinomics for hosting a whole event that Keith could create a podcast for so that he could know the people that he was going to meet at the event. Thank you,

Mastinomics. And I don't have a soundboard tonight, so... I was looking forward to the half. We don't have any horns. We don't have any disturbed turkeys. I've really failed everyone. But what we do have is we have a draft. If you've made it this far and you're like, you're still listening and you're still like, man, I was waiting for this title topic.

Are they going to interview somebody? Are they going interview somebody? Are they gonna fight to the death? Well, let me tell you, what we're gonna do is we're going to have a draft. And you might say, what's a draft? Well, we're not having any sort of draft. We're having a snake draft.

You might say, is it venomous? Absolutely not. It's completely safe. You get bit by this thing, you'll be fine. You'll be walking the next day. But what you will be is having the time of your life enjoying this draft. And what you might say, what are we drafting?

The World War III is coming. Is it related to war? And I'd say, no, don't worry too much. This is a non-violent draft, non-war related. It is in celebration. This episode will come out the Tuesday before the 4th of July. And 4th of July means cookouts.

It means barbecue. It means hanging with the friends and the family and doing stuff. We don't want to discuss future picks, but there's a lot of opportunities to do things on the 4th of July. And we want to talk about those things. And so today we're going to be drafting the best cookout slash barbecue. And there might be discussion on what a cookout is and what a barbecue is. And I don't think we have time for that.

That's that's an episode Keith can come on and he can tell us what the right answer is because he's from West Virginia and I'm sure he has the correct opinion. But we're going to draft the best cookout, the best barbecue. And we have five categories for our lovely guests, including myself as lovely to choose from. The categories are, everyone will choose one protein, one side, one drink, one dessert, and one miscellaneous. That can include anything. It doesn't have to be out of the other categories.

It can be anything that you think might need to be included to have a great thing. So if you think maybe an extra protein, you can go for it. If you think maybe a blimp, it's all you. Whatever you think you need, you need. So we're going to go through. I've got a wheel. We're going to pick the order. And then we'll dive right in. And everyone, keep notes at home because you're going to have to vote

on your favorite little draft here. Who picked the best lineup? And the winner is going to get to choose an outfit for Matt to wear at the Lyft Hard Lavizzi Classic weekend. So make sure you pick a, don't pick Matt to win because you don't want him to pick the outfit. All right. Let's, let's find out who's picking their position first. Our good friend, the wheel says, big Jen, you are first to pick your position. You want to pick first, you want to pick second, third, fourth, fifth. I will go third, third, a great, a great

choice. A great choice. All. Spin that wheel. I really should have done something. Is there a wheel? There's a wheel, I promise. Um. Super duper promise. Alright. I am next up. There is a wheel.

Uh. Ha ha. Shocker. I'm gonna pick fourth. I'm going to, I'm going to pick fourth. I'm going to pick fourth because I'm afraid to go early because I feel like I'm not as qualified as some others on this, uh, this board. Um, all right. Next up big Katie. What's it going to be?

I picked last last. Last. All right. All right, it's between Let's go, Damies. Let's go. Let's see. Big Matt, you get to choose. I will yield first position to Mr. Damager.

Ooh, what a gentleman. Strategic. Chris. I will yield first position to Mr. Damager. Ooh, what a gentleman. Strategic. Chris. I'm going first, huh? And Matt. Alright, so our draft order is Chris, Matt, Jen, Nathan, Katie.

And then after the first round we will snake back. Katie will have a second pick immediately and we'll, we will snake back and forth until we have made 25 selections to create a lineup of the perfect cookout, the best cookout, the most wonderful cookout. All right, Chris, your time starts now. This is the first pick of the draft. Huge moment. So honestly, the most important thing has to be the protein. Because without that, you're not gonna have a hook out or a barbecue. So, I have my drillers about a brisket, but I'm not gonna go into that.

So we're gonna do, I'm gonna keep it simple and go nice big pork shoulder for some pulled pork. Old pork. Good pick. Pork. Shoulder. Any choice on preference on druthers on the just, you know, it's not necessarily part of your pick, but preparation. What's the rub we doing? We doing, we doing a binder.

Tell me about your rubs there, Chris. Oh, you're just going to dry rub it and then throw it in the smoker for a while. This way, you don't have to really worry about it when you can get all your other stuff done. So you can set up while that's on the smoker. Don't want to study, just pull the thing out and then shred it up and you're good to go. Like I said, we'll go for a skip because as Matt knows, you don't know it's going to be done on time. I have a fix for that. Look at the night before.

You're going to take that for number one. You're going to start the night before. So you're eating it with buns or are you just putting a pile of meat on your plate? Probably have a bunch of different buns and cheeses out there and then you can put cheese and sliders and regular buns and everybody would just make them themselves and put them out there. Do a nice big like, yeah, whatever else. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

That thing. I've never had cheese on Shredded Corn ever. You've never? Never. Yeah, I've never had cheese on shredding. Of course, ever. Yeah, never. Never. Yeah. I from Wisconsin. No. Yeah, that's a hard no. It's always. I put pickles on a pulled pork sandwich.

Pickles and pork is fine. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's a regular pulled pork. I do broccoli Robinson provolone. Hmm. Interesting. There's always cheese. My family does pork. There's always cheese sitting out.

I'm not saying the first like second day, I'll make a whole part quesadilla, but not day. The leftover options. Yes. That's a whole nother draft. Yeah. Yeah. What is the best thing to give you the best next day?

That's the second poll. Whose food makes, whose draft makes the best leftovers. Who leads to the best second day? All right, Matt, second pick of the draft. Left, I thought I was giving you brisket, but you gave it to me. Yeah.

So I've been very fortunate. The whole reason I got into doing this whole thing was because I went to my wife's friend's house and her husband was getting popular enough on Instagram to the point where companies were sending him free stuff, barbecue, and she's like, why don't you have this as one of your hobbies? Okay. And so I started doing a show thereafter and trying to figure out risky ever since. And I think I finally got what works for me in my setup. And Chris said the key is doing it the night before

sucks going to bed at like four o'clock in the morning at three o'clock in the morning whatever it is but basically finish it you put it in a hot hold and by the time everybody comes over three o'clock whatever it's been basically in a hot hole for like 12 hours um I used to do you know try out different binders and rubs and things like that but just good old salt, pepper, garlic, doing the dry brine the night before, put it in the fridge, getting it nice and getting that skin nice and the outside real nice. And just, I have a just little setup in my Weber kettle and I just do half, you know, brisket basically. Put some charcoal in there, some hardwood and then I kind of smoke it that way.

And I've been trying to convince the Mrs. that I should get an actual smoker. But she's like, no, this is good. And we're not going to make more than 15 pounds of brisket in a little time. So that's what you think. You never know how much you need. I guess start inviting some more people over, have more leftovers. Yeah, second day. Yeah, brisket's definitely gonna be especially, you know, it sucks when you first kind of do the first couple times because people are trying to be nice like, yeah this is really good, this isn't dry at all. And you totally know

what you're doing. And then you actually start after a while. He. He had a little more fish and that actually starts to taste really good. So that's a risk. Risk it off the board. Taken. What a what a first couple of rounds. This is crazy. This is crazy.

Need a wild card up in here. All right, Jen, get a pic next. All right. So I'm going to take us a different route because I think there's a lot of proteins that are good, so I struggled with the side dishes. So I want to get my side dish in the bank. Wait, we go out of order? Yeah. Oh shit.

Oh, oh no. That doesn't understand how drafts work whatsoever. You always have to draft a quarterback. No. All right. I'm sorry. This draft strategy is blown. Oh, I ruined everything.

Man. Damn it. alone. Oh, I ruined everything. Man. Damn it. All those paper notes didn't help him at all. When Matt said he didn't prepare whatsoever, he wasn't wrong. All right. So I struggled with the side dishes. I mean, I love side dishes, but I think I'm going to go ahead and pick sweet corn. And because I'm from Iowa, you gotta have Iowa sweet corn. If you

guys haven't had it, you're missing out. But it's even the best when you're at a barbecue, you have the butter on the cob. And like the butter's like rolling down your forearms. That's the best. That's the kind of sweet corn I'm talking about. Roast it, not boil. You could have it either way. It kind of tastes the same if you do it in the husk on the grill as boiled kind of the same but we do it in the grill on the husk in the husk. Put the butter then in between the kernels in the husk.

Oh no, after you peel it. Who put the butter then in between the kernels and the husk. Oh, no, no. After you peel it. After you peel it. Then you use that little. We'll put the butter in before. At what point do you rub it on your arms? I'm confused. Don't you guys have that little curvy thing that like rubs the butter on after you're

done? I don't know what you're talking about. I got a couple curvy things. I have more. How did you know that it curves? You put those sticky things in the end and like... I know what you're talking about. I got a couple of things. More. How did you know that it curves? Sticky things in the end and like. Oh, also, how do you guys eat your corn?

You go typewriter or do you know? So around. Yeah, I turn it rotate it. I roll it to. Typewriter feels wrong. Have you guys ever boiled the corn and then threw it in a cooler so that it could sit there all day? No. And we do cooler corn. So you just, you kind of boil it, get it ready and then you take it, dump it in a cooler, put it outside and you just open the cooler and grab one out and it stays hot

all day. Man, I might just do that every morning. I might just keep one of them. Like Matt has his cooler of drinks, I might just keep a cooler of corn next to my desk while I'm working. I think that'd be incredible to have in an office is just, oh, this is my corn cooler. He just- You refer to HR real fast.

Just- It's too much, but it's scary. Why does he have so much corn? It just keeps eating it. I'm bringing out the corn cooler at work next week, that's for sure. There's one thing I know. Hey, it's 4th of July everyone, gather around the corn cooler. Let's have our weekly, our daily stand-up meeting. He go bobbing for corn instead of apples.

Yes, yes. Yeah, there's so many options. That's too Midwest. That's too Midwest. That's too much. Nothing that could get us in trouble. Man. The sweet corn. Good first pick, Jen. I also, fourth round.

I'm really between a couple things. I think the miscellaneous category is so open, I can probably wait on that one. But the side dishes, I feel like I have the ultimate side dish that can't be beaten. It's similar to sweet corn, but it's even better. And my side dish is the side hot dog. Because no one ever just is like, all I want is a hot dog, but everyone always is like, oh, hot dogs?

Yeah, I want one of those. And I feel like it's the greatest side dish because it's like, you go back, you're like, I'm still a little hungry. I don't know if I want to commit to a whole pulled pork slider or a whole thing, but man, that hot dog looks awesome. Here in Akron, Ohio, we got a local meat place, Duma's used to work there. It's a meat cutter for a while.

They have, we call them Duma dogs. Suckers are a quarter pound, just like the big old snappy crunch of a hot dog. Gigantic dogs, dude. No curves, straight as an arrow, just beefy sons of guns. But yeah, side hot dog, easily. Side hot dog. The best side dish. Which I'm really like, what can I make Jen the most mad about not picking as a side dish for her to be morally opposed to mine. But I think side hot dog is where it's at.

I argue you because it's pretty true. You always get one. Yeah. It sounds like with a bun or without a bun. Because you see a hot dog and you're like, I can't pass that up. It's fantastic. But you're like, I don't want to only... No one's only eating hot dogs unless you're like six.

So it's a no brainer. My son's girlfriend freaking loves hot dogs. That's good. Like every summer we'll just say, hey, it's hot dog night while I'm girl. It's hot dog night. That's all you eat. You just, just hot dogs for the whole family?

Yeah. Like a pack of buns and a pack of hot dogs and go sit by the man So it's just a joke joke in our family with her Wow. Have you shown her the the hot dogs to go song? I Have not I don't even know that I know it. There's a some kids going viral He made a parody of, I'm going to say it wrong, but that's our nature in Unpaid and Underrated. Chapel Rowan, Chapel Rowan, whatever it is, Her Hot to Go. Some kid wrote a song called Hot Dogs to Go. And the chorus is like H-O-T-D-O-G-S, hot dogs are the stinkin' best. Kids love it. My children just walk around the house singing about how hot dogs are the stinkin' best and it's pretty funny.

So it might be her new favorite song by chance. But. All right, I'll check it out. Side hot dog, pick number four on the draft, big Katie. Coming around to the curve on the snake. Not to be confused with the curve for Jen's corn. What's it going to be? So I'm going to take the two meats.

As much as I like smoking meats in the summer, sometimes you just got to fire up the charcoal grill, throw a couple of brats on there, but you might need a couple of Polish sausages, a couple of Italians, some hot dogs. So I'm going to take tube of meats. Tubed meats. That's what she said. That's it. As your protein, that's a great choice. A lot of variety. Yep. Sometimes you need a hot Hungarian on there. Yep. Sometimes you're at a baseball game in a parking lot, you got a charcoal grill, and then the tube meats go racing after the sixth inning if you're in Milwaukee. Man, I feel like tube meats should almost be illegal, but I'll allow it because it's

so brilliant. I'll let it slide. Tubed meats. I'll let it because it's so brilliant. I'll let it slide. Tubed meats. I'll let it slide. Because I only have one of the two meats left. Ha ha ha. Tube meat.

Tube meat. He's thinking he'll let the tube meat slide. That just doesn't sound. It sounds great. You can eat 13, Jen. Come on. Sounds great. I'd love a sliding tube meat.

So to go with my two meats, I'm gonna eat some beans. So I got baked beans. Oh. Baked. Good choice. I didn't even have baked beans on the list, Katie. Beans and weenies, Jen, beans and weenies. Didn't even think about it.

Franklin Beans. Man, I lost it. I do love good beanie weenie. Yeah, you love a good tubed bean. That's what I always say. It's naughty. I'm not even trying to be naughty. I really do like to eat weenies. This week on Unfaith and Underrated, dick jokes. Yeah, Keith's gonna love this episode.

It was completely different. My poor, poor LLM, my son's girlfriend, I'm worried about hot dogs. When you say, oh we have hot dogs, my son's girlfriend loves hot dogs, like you need to talk to your son. the Man, the baked beans and tubed meats. Pick five, pick six. Man, that's tough. Any details on the baked bean choice? Is there a go-to choice there? It's got to have bacon. You got to be able to find that little treasure of bacon preserved in the sugary sauce somewhere in the baked beans. If you're getting real fancy, you maybe have smoked a pork shoulder recently, that can go in the beans. Little meat in the beans never hurts anyone. I've always said that. Now, I'm not a baked beans guy personally.

What's the rule there? I feel like Jen probably has a hard stance on how you're allowed to make baked beans, but is that a from the can or is that always homemade? I'm going to ride the line. They can start from a can, but you have to add things like you have to add like. Catch up mustard, barbecue sauce, brown sugar, like all the things, bacon or whatever. Okay. But your base, your base can be a can.

So nobody got time to like boil beans. Make pressure cookers for Jen? Can you go get the goddamn pressure cooker out? That could be a bomb, you never know. So you got to be careful with those things. That's true. Kate, if you have a recipe, I'll try it. But I'm also lazy.

I'm like the semi-homemade cook. Oh no, we do a lot of times like if we're cooking brats, no, it's out of a can straight. Sometimes it's bushes, sometimes it's another brand. Only every once in a while do the beans come from scratch around here. All right. That's where I was curious because around these parts, I only ever see just a can of bushes that gets heated up. So I didn't know if there was an upper echelon of like, this is the baked bean way. I wanted to clarify that for the listeners at home as to what they're getting with their baked bean pick. There's no artisanal bushes, basically.

Yeah. Do they make a double IPA but this can is $16 really putting in here yeah but it's raised by indigenous yeah that's great I guess I always think of that little piece of fat though that's in like the baked beans. That's gross. You don't eat it, but it provides flavor for the rest of the beans. Okay, well. You gotta flavor all the beans, Jen.

Is it really? Because it's just a little thing. Hey. Is it doing anything? Hey. There it goes again, Jen. I'm just asking for it at this point. All right. Pick number seven on the board.

It comes back to me, and I got to be honest, I was not prepared at all to immediately come back around. But I guess this is how that works. I got to think cookout. Proteins are going to start moving quick. I'm getting nervous. It's a toss up for me as to what the right answer here is. But I really feel like you can't go wrong at a cookout. You got a lot of people coming. How are you gonna keep up? How are you gonna make sure everyone gets fed? How are you gonna make sure everything's done on time?

That's an important part, right? I think the number one protein option for a cookout, you wanna have a great cookout, you cook some burgers. You get burgers, so many varieties. You can throw cheese on there. You cannot throw cheese on there. You can get pickles. You can get anything. You can go crazy. You can, if you want to be fancy, you can do little smash burger situations on like a little griddle situation. You can do them on a grill. You can cook them in the oven if you're a freak. There's an infinite number of options at the hamburger. Talking about a cookout and a barbecue and you're going to do them in the oven?

Hey, listen, some people don't have grills. I spent a year without a grill because I'm cheap. I was cooking burgers inside and that was terrible. Hey, not in the oven. I heard that your dad is pretty good at cooking stuff outside. Yes. And he's crafty enough to do that. So you should be able to. I should have used a trash can to cook my hamburgers. You're right, Jen.

Such a mistake. Yeah, hamburgers. I mean, I love a burger. And you know what goes great with a hamburger? You're sitting on a plate. You're like, I got this great burger. You just throw a hot dog on there. You don't even need a bun.

You're like, I feel bad about having a second bun. You just eat it straight. You just suck it all down. Like you don't even have to chew it. You don't even have to chew it. You don't even have to chew it. You don't even have to chew it. You don throw a hot dog on it. You don't even need a bun. You're like, I feel bad about having a second bun. You just need it straight. You just suck it all down. Like you don't even have to, uh, to chew it. You don't even have to cook it. Yeah. Yeah. They're yeah. Right. That's exactly it. My, my favorite of the two meats, obviously, um, and the tube meat family. Well, yeah. Hamb, can't beat it. Can't beat it.

Well, shoot. Hey, Jen, you gotta be quick. No, that's alright. So now I have a... so my protein is safe, right? So I should move on. Yeah, there is only one protein left. Oh dear, okay. Or one spot left, so yeah.

Draft strategy at this point. Yeah, so I gotta go for One spot left. So yeah, the draft strategy at this point. Yeah. So I got to go for something else then. So, all right. I think I'm going to do the dessert and this is tough because I think there's some good ones. But I think I'll be safe with this one. I don't think you guys would want this. That's a great way to pick a draft. I don't think anyone's going to want this. This is my pick. No, sorry. Maybe I should have said, I don't think you guys might have it on your list, but it's really good.

So I'm going to go with homemade ice cream and talk about the story. So I think we're all of the age where we remember like the tub outside that has like the crank. Yes. Well, my grandpa had an aqua green one, aqua, almost like Katie's shirt, sea foam green. And I remember him like it literally

had the crank. Like he had to use his arm to crank it. And he put eggs and sugar and whatever. And it was the best ice cream ever. And then when I got older, then I took over, but I got an automatic. I didn't have to do the cranking anymore, but still did it outside, still did it with the rock salt. That's what I'm talking about. Man. You guys familiar?

I have a very vivid memory of sitting on my grandparents' porch in Indiana, watching a thunderstorm roll in, cranking ice cream on the porch and then one of the trees like behind the house across the street got hit by lightning and we got to see the fire department come. Oh yeah ice cream was good. That's crazy. It is crazy, but the ice cream was good. Yeah. It's an awesome opportunity. Now, I'm going to, as the drafts, whatever I am, master, the master drafter, draft master, I will say, with that pick, ice cream of the dairy sort is off the table.

Yeah. I mean, we've all in agreement. I'm just. Yeah, it can be taken away. Yes. Yeah, I guess. Yeah. So but we will specify for the draft homemade ice cream.

I've had it once in my life. It was awesome. It's a great visual as well. It's a, you can't, you can't beat homemade baked beans, homemade ice cream. It's all, it's all great. Until you get the little bit of fat in your homemade ice cream.

What's it there for? Flavor or something? It's more a little bit of fat in your homemade ice cream. Yeah. I hate when you get that. All right, man. Now I want some ice cream. Me too. Matt. What's it going to be now?

Now, Matt, you do understand how this works, correct? I think so. OK, I think I got it. OK, Matt's going to break just another protein. 95%. I can't do that. No, you can do whatever you want. Matt, you know what? Do whatever you want. So I'm actually going to move over to sides and I'm going to go with mac and cheese, but not just any mac and cheese. I'm going to go with the Costco mac and cheesy.

Okay. It is absolutely delicious. It's easy to do. Throw it in the oven for like 45 minutes and you got the perfect side. Yeah, you get your fatty. Thick side to go with your fatty, thick brisket. And that way, everybody wants to go to bed 15 minutes later. Wishes. Did you mention the lasagna you get from Costco? Take and bake lasagna? Was that what she said?

No. No. It's the mac and cheese, my guy. It's delicious. My mistake. You don't have it? No, this is a call back to Joey. You don't smoke it, not even for a little bit.

Dude, my brother, I was gonna say that. My brother smoked mac and cheese for Mother's Day this year. And it was the best. I ate so much mac and cheese. It was the best mac and cheese I've ever had in my life. Like we had, we had steak, Hasselback, potatoes and smoked mac and cheese. And it was like the greatest day of my life.

I like just sat and ate potatoes and mac and cheese for hours on end. So my wife is a big cheese person and I'm holding the smoked cheese thing in my back pocket from when she's like really mad at me. And I'm just like waiting to do that. Like babe, by the way, you know, this Havarti chased this over here.

And then she'll love me again. Oh, you haven't done it yet? No, I haven't done it. I'm holding it in my back pocket. Oh, man. Here's the thing. They turn out amazing. If I just give my wife all of my awesomeness at once,

then she's not gonna appreciate it. She can't handle it. I have to meter it out like every once in a while. And you get a whole something in your back pocket to when she's like, you did something like, oh, by the way, I did this to me. So I'm really old and smoke cheese. Have you done at least cream cheese or not even that?

We're working. All right, all right. So there's a couple of things you can have in your back pocket. She might be listening to us. She's gonna get all your secrets, Matt. I'll make sure she doesn't listen to this episode. She's gonna keep blocking her IP address. He's gonna keep blocking her IP address.

I'll block her IP. Oh, God. I don't even eat cheddar cheese and I've made a smoked mac and cheese. I'm told it was good. I have no idea. It's great. It's my favorite thing. All right. Mac and cheese off the board,

preferably Costco, not smoked because we're saving that in case our wife gets mad at us. No, no, no, not if. When? Yeah, there it if. When, yeah. There it is. That's it. Big Chris, pick number 10. Going for a drink. We're going beer. Ah.

Damn it. The whole thing. All of the beers. All of the beers. I did specify my beer. I said like, I said lawnmower beer. So like, because if you need one that you can like, you won't make you full. You can drink a bunch of them. That's what I was gonna say. Keep it light. Some lower lights, some force lights, things like that. Something you can just mow the lawn in when it's hot, that's a good choice.

Yeah. Like a nice hazy double IPA, right? Matt. Nice and light. Yeah. Nice and light. Something you can't see through. Or a Rasputin stout, like just something real light.

Like motor oil basically. Yeah. Yeah. Keep it going. Beer off the board. Huge take. Huge take a whole category. A whole category. Man, you'd hate to see that go.

Now we're on the the corn curve right now. What's what's pick number 11 there, Chris? So I'm going to explain this one, but it's broccoli salad for a side. Yeah. Oh, we know. Yeah, you know. Tell us how you make it. I get I have to make this every time we have a side. Yeah. Oh, we know. Yeah, you know. Tell us how you make it. I get, I have to make this every time we have barbecue. And it is had two heads of broccoli, bacon, cheddar cheese. There's, you put mayo, vinegar and sugar together and mix it all up. That's the sauce. And then I put craisins in it and it's awesome.

It is a good side. I love that side. Can't go wrong. I mean, you can by not picking up a hot dog. Side hot dog. Side hot dog, pocket dog for later, whatever you're feeling. There's a picture of me. I'll have to find it for maybe the thumbnail or something. I'm pretty sure there's, there've been many things, but when I was- We've seen it, mate. We saw your hot dog.

No, not that picture. Easy. Jen, you need to- Just a young boy. Jen, you need to take a breath, okay? You're coming on a little too strong tonight. Just take a breather, take a lap. There's a picture of me with just a hot dog

in like my pocket, my shirt pocket. At work one time, yeah. I love, man, hot dogs are great. Did I say there's bacon in there? Did I say that? Bacon and the broccoli. It has to have bacon in it. Yeah, there is bacon.

Craisels. I never put craisels, we always put raisins, but I'll have to try the broccoli has to have bacon in it. Yeah, there is bacon. Craisels. I don't put craisins. We always put raisins, but I'll try the craisins next time. Craisins is a little twist. It's good. Spicy. Katie, did you have a rafi reference there earlier? Did you say rocky or broccoli?

No, rafi. Oh. I don't know. No, Rafi. Oh. I don't know. OK, that's it. I don't know, but it's possible. Pocket dog. I did say pocket dog. Yeah, it's not from Rafi from the league. I probably is.

That's probably where I got it from. Yeah, I just don't know. Was there a pocket dog? I don't remember. Yeah, they're all shit. Oh, remember. Yeah, he was taking a shit. He was pulling out of his pocket and he was offering him up to his brother-in-law. He was like, here! What are you doing? Rafi, man.

I believe it was a bit of a running gag, too. It happened a couple times. Yes, when they're in the library, when they first had Dirty Randy. Yep. The historian over here. Mostly just pop culture references and by that I mean TV shows. I wonder if Keith Heather puts hot dogs in his cargo pants. Dude. You know he has. I gotta check in on the discord I need to know if people are packing pants or not.

Need to figure out. Said mostly shorts. Mostly sports. All right, Matt's back to you after beers off the board. You've got drink dessert miscellaneous you can choose from for dessert. Can I do more? You can do a dessert beer. I'll allow it. Well, actually, I have something better than that. OK. But I do more beer? You can do a dessert beer. I'll allow it.

Well, actually I have something better than that. Okay. But I was more joking, but I mean, that's a good thing too. But I'm actually gonna go with cigars. What? That's great. Doesn't that have to be a food?

Do we stay at it to be a food? I think that's a great choice. I love the- Miscellaneous too. What's that? Is that it can be miscellaneous to a it could fit as a side dish, honestly, at this point. Maybe play it really. I mean, that's why you don't ask about the rules and the rules.

Meaning. Yeah, that's exactly it. It's legal. Yeah. It's a two. So yeah,. Also, it's a tube. So yeah, does this is a guard account as a tube to meet? I'm not sure. It depends on how you smoke it.

I like things so far. Is a is a cigar technically vegetarian because it's a leaf. Technically, it couldn't go under protein, I guess. Well, unless you got some nice little chunks of beef pork fat in there I was smoking a cigar and I get a bit of pork fat in there there for the flavor man's flavor yeah there you go yeah like a swisher so that it smells like dessert. Damn it. Of course, I just. Sweet.

Oh, come on. Are we teenagers smoking in the back of a convenience store? We're not smoking swisher sweets. Knock it off. Listen, with the jokes Jen's making, we might be teenagers. I don't know anymore. I know. Immature humor.

Oh, man, cigars for pick number 12 on desserts. You didn't see it coming. Didn't have it on my board. I wasn't prepared for that. Man, are you 2025 bingo? Yeah, yeah. Wasn't on the. Wasn't on my big.

All right, Jen, pick number 13. Where's it going to land? This is tough because I thought we'd have a lot more in common. Now it's like me just picking out my favorite name because nothing's been taken. I think I'm going to go with miscellaneous, I think. Because I think I have enough good drinks. I'm safe there. This is really tough. So I'm going to be boring and I'm going to pick just sitting around

the fire pit or the bonfire. Or on fire, fire pit. That's not boring. Yes. That can be a lot of fun. I had that too. I think that's good choices, but that's the one I'm going with. That's classic.

Pairs well with side hot dog for later. Yes. Side hot dog. You got a stick and reheated over the fire. They're over Matt's cigar. You get a nice smoky flavor. You can pull out your uncooked side hot dog and cook it. You know, I keep a back in my back pocket.

Just jam a stick in it. This is giving me so many ideas for the future. Side dog. I feel like our honorable mention list is going to be really big. Well create a second draft. The worst cookout options. Firepit, bonfire, great option. What's our take on the solo stove? I got one, I love it. I have a smokeless one but it's not solo. I like it.

Good deal. I have a baby one but I never use it. I have a smokeless one, but it's not so low. I like it. Good deal. I have a baby one, but I never use it. Like the really small one, like the tabletop one? Yeah. But we always are using the big fire pit. Are you for real like the one that's like three inches tall? Don't they have one that's like, I don't know. It's like a, it looks like a gallon,

say a gallon milk, kind of that size. What, what's the... Is that just for cooking marshmallows inside or something? Well, if we have it in... It's smokeless, Matt, it's fine. No, that's not how it works. That's not how fireworks. What?

Feel free to try it. Just get your family out. OK, all right. Noted. It's like the smoke alarm doesn't go off, but the other alarm, the CO2 alarm goes off when I do it. I don't. Yeah, I don't know. What am I a doctor? Yes. I think science over here.

Yeah. AI, we make mistakes sometimes. So I didn't have any Taurus donuts for my backyard, so we have to use the real fire pit with the smoke. Like, keep the bugs away. Oh, added benefit! Yeah. Added benefit. When's the proper time, Jen, to start a fire? Do you have to wait for it to get dark? Do you start it immediately? Let it run the whole time? I feel like you should start it earlier.

What's that mean? That way you get a nice base of coals like before dark time, okay Get a nice base and then you can brush your side weenies and your your marshmallows whatever you're doing It's good answer your beanie weenies my beanie weenies All right, I guess it comes back around to me with pick number 14. A lot riding on this I feel like. The ice cream pick, man, really threw my game off. I had some great things lined up. I'm sitting in dessert, I'm between two. This is really tough.

But I feel like there's lore around this. It's an important thing in history. It's a staple of the region I'm from in the US, which is the Midwest. But is it really a cookout? Is it really a shin dig, a barbecue? If you don't have some Scotcher's to share, which is part of the Midwest, you need some Scotcher's. You got to have them. A great treat. Everyone loves them. That's not what I'm sucking my teeth at. Yeah.

Oh, it's going like glancing over that. Aren't we glanced over what? Hmm. Hmm. What? Indeed. Yeah. You got to have a Scotch Roo.

Uh, I remember, I remember it being a huge ticket item in a certain cookout, hangout barbecue situation in a certain mosquito infested backyard. the the the the the the the

the the the the for dessert, crowd pleaser. It's basically a casserole. So it's great. Hot dish, whatever you want to call it. This draft is blowing my mind. Listen. Not have scotch or his son, old Les. Hey, well you can be wrong.

I can't be wrong. Well, you just leave them right inside the sliding door. You walk in, grab them, snap, smash one. You let it sit long enough to melt. Just eat it. Quit messing around. Your side dog you can save for later. You eat the Scotcheroo immediately.

Really throwing off Jen's interpretation of barbecue. Listen. Yeah, I think I was okay with... No, I for sure was okay with the side dog, I just am not okay with the scotcharoos. That's alright Jen, you have your own draft. I'm picking what I think is the best. Nobody can vote for me because of the scotcharoos. Because scotcharoos are on there?

Yeah. I think it's a key. I don't know, but I think the only reason you win is the side dog. Hey, listen, Jen, if you show up to a party and someone's got scotch arouse as a side dish, would you not be over the moon excited to eat one? Well, it depends. If they had a fire going, I'd be disappointed that we were just having scotch arouse. Well, listen, you know what you can do with your scotch arouse, Jen, at your fire?

I know. You don't. You can go get two marshmallows. You can go get two marshmallows. You can roast them. You can smash two scotcharoos over your marshmallows. Great option. That would be good. The problem is you're just not creative enough.

You're not creative enough. You need to, you're thinking in these boxes and you need to leave the boxes. You're eating hot dogs on plates. I'm eating hot dogs in pockets. You're eating scotch arouse on their own. I'm making s'more scotch arouse. You do not have because you do not ask. You're age baiting me.

You do not have because you do not ask. To be fair, I did roast a Rice Krispie treat last time we had a bar, last time we had the hot dog fest. I just did Rice Krispie. Seems like you have a lot of things in common there. treat last time we had a bar last time we had the hot dog fest. Seems like you have a lot of things in common there. I went to an engineering school in college and we called it a hot dog fest too, because mostly dudes. Yes.

A sausage fest that I went to engineering school too. I prefer a tube to meet fast. Personally, that's just. That's just, that's just what, if you weren't the chip, what were you? The mustard? I don't know. Onions. Yeah. We'll make your, your condiment.

Yeah. Love a good chocolate chip in my sausage. That's what I've always said. All right, Katie, speaking of chocolate chips, pick number 15. I'm gonna take a drink. And since Chris already took beer, I'm gonna take lemonade.

And it can have the lemonade with fruit in it, lemonade with whiskey in it, but it's going to be homemade and it's going to be cold. Yeah. So you said good pick unlike the scotch room. Oh, geez. Relax there, Jen. She said lemonade with whiskey. I've done lemonade with vodka. I've never done lemonade with whiskey. Yeah, so we'll do lemonade bourbon. And actually, if you muddle up a little bit of mint and basil in that, very good.

Doing all the things. Sometimes we're fancy in the backyard. Fancy. For us. Mint and basil. I don't even know what that is. Can you put that in a Scotcheroo? I think I want it to suck. It's impossible.

A little mint Scotcheroo? Yeah. Ah, lemonade. Lemonade's a good choice. It's a good choice. We use the hand squeezing? The juicer, yeah. Squeeze a little bit on at the end. choice. Good choice. We used to hand squeeze them. The juicer, yeah. Squeeze a little bit on at the end.

Yes. Got it. You gotta get every last drop. Every drop. Lemonade and on your corn curve here, what are you picking as your 16th? I'm going to take my dessert. And I'm going to take strawberry shortcake. Hopefully Jenna approves it. Oh, the strawberry shortcake. 16th. I'm going to take my dessert. Ooh. And I'm going to hopefully Jennifer.

Oh, the strawberry strawberry season is just ramping up here. We went picking last weekend, so it's hard to beat a fresh farmers market or handpicked strawberry. Is that like apple picking? I've never been strawberry picking. For real? Yeah. It's a lot closer to the ground.

Well, it's on the other side. Huh, I didn't know that was a thing. Google it. You can take your kids. Yeah, I'd love that. Man. All right. Oh wait, are you using angel food cake or pound cake? So the favorite one I've made, I've done angel food cake, but the one I liked is a cornmeal biscuit situation. Oh, okay. That's fancy. Yeah, that's real fancy.

That's above my pay grade. I don't think I'm discrimin discriminate against a strawberry shortcake. It's definitely on my list. Strawberry shortcake? Then you can make it breakfast and put the strawberries and whipped cream on a pancake. Oh! Yeah, that's good. That's a fantastic idea.

You can have a damn scotch roo anytime, Nate. You can literally have, you can have anything anytime. Jen, what are you talking about? Not good. You can have pizza on a bagel anytime. If you really want that could be, that could be, that could be a protein. Why don't you pick that? It can be two proteins according to mathematics.

Man. I'm never going proteins according to mathematics. Yeah. True. Man. I'm never going to hear the end of this. Cheese gen. Strawberry shortcake, pick number 16. Great choice. Great choice. Great choice.

Highly approve. Fruity. Fruity two picks there. Lemonade and strawberry shortcake. Good choice. I'm not the sweet side. All right. All right, what do you got?

I'm stalling for time to decide. Man, Jen's making me just doubt everything I've done in my life. I had another pick that I think would have went over a lot better now. Now I'm really just. I think we're missing a couple for sure. Man, I'm just doubting everything now.

All right, pick number 17. I'm going to go miscellaneous. I had three written down. None of them have been picked. But I feel like 4th of July is coming up. And no party is really, no cookout, no barbecue is really great until you have just some dude breaking out fireworks and trying to blow everybody up. Put it in reverse, Chair!

Yeah, put it in reverse. I think you want to have a good barbecue, you want to have a good cookout, you get some fireworks. What makes things better? Blowing stuff up, waking all the neighbors. I can't believe it, Nate. What? You've gotten and totally

made it near the goal. I had illegal fireworks as my missile. I had fireworks on my list as well. Yes. Not legal ones though. Yeah. Not an illegal fireworks. Illegal, homemade. Oh yeah, fireworks, they. Yeah. Illegal fireworks. Illegal.

Homemade. Yeah, fireworks, they're great. They're great. My backyard has a lot of trees, not safe, but we've definitely done it. Don't like it, scares me, but they're great. Can I tell a quick story? You can tell as many stories as you want, Jen.

I was nine months pregnant and I was on the night shift at the time so I'd get off the lake To a young but at the time since I was nine months pregnant. They let me get off at midnight I come home and it's around the 4th of July and we're having a big party, but I had to work of course, nine months pregnant. I'm reminding you, I come home and our whole backyard is packed. People are shooting off fireworks left and right. The neighbor's barn is damn near on fire. I walk in the backyard and like, what are you guys doing?

And mind you, I had my son when the end of July, so in Iowa, it's like 900 degrees. I'm 400 pounds. I can just stood on my feet for eight hours and these assholes are out there to shoot and firework. So that was the only time where it has been so annoying to have fireworks at a barbecue. However. Fun police is here. That day I was most certainly the fun police. Yeah. We still talk about it.

Maura I've had a similar runin being like ultra pregnant and coming home. We lived in like an apartment complex and the neighbor always had like one of the people like it was like four spots and one of the they would always like we all they were like four apartments and then they were like four parking spots and the one person always took they would always like steal our parking spots. And one night we came home and they had taken our parking spot, but then like parked down the road.

Like there were just a thousand cars. And my wife was so mad and I was like, have at it. She just like, and she's like, you're gonna steal a pregnant woman's park. It's like the wrath of a very pregnant woman when they come home to a bad home is it's a scary thing. I don't know if I've seen her that mad.

Did the car get moved? Yeah. Oh yeah. They were like yeah yeah they moved the cars. I love it. Yeah. Um. Oh by the way I don't know if you could hear it because I think my noise suppression was on but my dishwasher just went off and played similar tune to Matt's earlier. Oh, my dryer went off, but we have an old dryer and it just buzzes incredibly loud so that you can hear it all over the house and it scares me every time.

Hate it. No Samsung, nice beep for me. All right, fireworks is off the board. Pick number 17. It means we come back to gin or gin, however you prefer it. You've got the option. You could go with the drink. You could go with the protein.

And now think about it, though. It matters. What do you think is more important? Well, I think I'm going to go with the drink because I'm pretty sure my protein is okay. It's safe. But now I'm like looking at this list that none of you picked my minus lemonade and lawn bar beer. So I'm trying to figure it out here.

Trying to figure out if I should go alcohol or non-alcohol. Don't know what to do. Don't know if the voters go alcohol or non alcohol. Don't know what to do. Don't know if the voters are going to want alcohol. I feel like they are. All right, I'm going to pick a choice that nobody's even going to get, but I'm going to say it. So I am going to pick.

Strip and go naked. So anybody had stripping? I am going to pick Strip and Go Naked. Does anybody have had Strip and Go Naked? Strip and Go Naked? Yeah, sometimes it's called like that. Did you do that around the fireplace? Oh, can you do that? What? No, it's a drink.

I don't think it is, Jen. I think someone lied to you. It is. Oh my gosh, it's so good and we've had so much fun. Can I Google that? Yes, you can Google it. Not on your work phone. Okay, so typically you buy like the big,

you have the big orange coolers, you know what I'm talking about. The Gatorade coolers? Yes, the Gatorade coolers. Is it Jungle Juice? Is that what you're talking about? No, but I may or may not have had that on my list. No, it's like lemonade concentrate, so frozen concentrate.

And then you like equal parts of beer and either Everclear or vodka with your concentrate. And it tastes just like lemonade and it is dangerous. We used to make something called electric lemonade that was very similar to that. It was like Everclear lemonade concentrate and like a bunch of fruit and stuff like that. So it didn't have any beer in it, but yeah. Oh, the beer. Like you think it sounds gross, but my gosh, it's so good. We usually use strawberry lemonade, it's so good. We usually a strawberry lemonade. It's so good.

What sounds the first result I find says easy way to measure one can beer, one can frozen lemonade, one can water, one can vodka. I just want to know where these people are finding canned versions of all of these things Because I've never seen canned vodka in my life Man we we brought that out one time for our friends 30th birthday and let's just say there was You want to talk about you. That was a lot of

puke in the garden that night. Not just mine, lots of people. A lot of... And it was so fun. Alright, strip and go naked. You thought that would land in the miscellaneous category, but apparently we're putting it in the dessert. No, drink. Oh yeah. The drink, whatever. He's keeping track of this.

Uh, big Matt pick number 19. Pick number 19. I'm going to go with my drink. And although it's been, are you taking my beer choice? I am actually going to go with something that has happened pretty frequently. Whenever I tell somebody I'm going to. Nice brisket. Somebody decides like, all size the guy spent a lot of money on this meat I'm gonna go ahead and not just bring the regular old domestic six-pack. I'm gonna buy him a bottle something nice

So something that pairs well with the fire and the cigars and that's a nice bourbon or a nice scotch To go along with those two activities because at the the end of the night, everybody's just kind of winding down. It's nice to have a very good, neat whiskey. And just kind of have some with your cigar. With your cigar in the other hand. I'm starting to see how this, uh, this draft goes. If we, uh, if we put this up blind, it'd be very difficult to figure out which ones was Matt, I'm sure.

Yeah, obviously. Man. Yeah. Brisket, mac and cheese, bourbon and cigars must be someone else's. My miscellaneous will be unique. Sish. Yeah, we'll see. He already took my illegal fireworks.

Yeah. It's like, I'd like to pick legal fireworks for 500. Lame. It was like the little snakes. Come on. Got it. Matt, do you go to Home Depot to build your fireworks. Shh. Okay. Okay. Got it noted.

Noted. All right. Bourbon and Scotch off. And bourbon on Scotch one beer. Yep. There you go. All right. Chris, you're rounding out your draft here.

This is gonna be the last two picks for you? This is where it gets tough. So still got dessert and then miscellaneous. That's true. That is exactly what you have for desserts. I'm going cupcakes. OK, big homemade cupcakes. You can make a giant assortment of them if you want to go crazy. Jen's already got our face. You can have cupcakes at any time.

Why would you ever pick that? I don't want to have to put out cakes and big red velvet cakes. I just want to be able to go and grab a cupcake and leave. For him. I flags with them. You can do what? Make a giant American flag. That's true. That's true. I, uh, flags with them. You can do what? Make a giant American flag.

That's true. That's true. You couldn't do that with a regular cake. It would be impossible to put a flag on one of those. They would have to be a lot of really small cakes to make a flag. You also could not just simply hang a flag. Yeah, that would also be impossible. All those things and be very, yeah, that's true be impossible. I mean, you could add all those things and be dirty.

Yeah, that's true. That's true. What's the creation have? Cupcakes. Jen, are you upset? I am a little bit. Okay. I'm getting mad right now because I'll just save it for the last round. Yeah. Chris, why didn't you pick a drink no one's ever heard of?

You guys could have got mad at me. Yeah. We could never be mad at you, Jen, because we appreciate the things that you bring to the table, okay? We don't want to put you down. But I'm like, I don't really want a wet cake. Wait, what?

Say that again. What about your wet cake? I was gonna say Trace Litches. Oh, Trace Litches. But I really just, you know, a hot cake, a hot wet cake on a summer's day, probably doesn't. Now Jen probably would like that. We're probably all getting messed up.

We need to go back to the drawing board. All right, Chris, cupcakes. What are you pairing miscellaneously with your cupcakes? So this is, I wish we had one more section to go through. We don't. That's the thing. You cannot have a barbecue without a radio. It's true. I think Jen Froome.

Yeah, Jen's frozen, which is great, because I can't take her. Coming at me anymore. Oh, no, she's gone. And that's great. We'll pick we'll make her last pick for her. You're that mad. Yeah, she got that mad about the I think radio. I just put her over the edge.

Yeah, I had I had that on my list. I feel like some good music, some good tunes are key to a good party, to a good cookout. And there's like so many games you could have to. So it's kind of boring because now I don't have anything for anybody to do. Well, you can sit around and listen to music. This is exactly true. And you can dance to it. You can dance. I mean, you have so many cupcakes. You could I'm sure you could do a lot with all of those.

And you have you have beer. Chris, I don't really know what. What do you think people are going to complain? Perfect party to me. Yeah. All right. Tell me since I'm in Iowa, it's charming and I had to leave. What's what would you pick? Oh, he picked more cupcakes. Pocket cupcake.

What's on your list for miscellaneous? Because that's what I picked. Oh, yeah. He picked radio slash music. Okay. Yeah, that's okay. She'll allow it. You can move on Chris.

She'll let you pick that one. That's way better than cupcakes. What is wrong with cupcakes? There's nothing wrong with it Chris. Don't let it bully you. Don't let Jen, Jen thinks she can just come out here and mop the floor with us, with her naked drinks and whatnot. Let's just, we'll stand up to her. Don't let Jen think she can just come out here and mop the floor with us with her naked drinks and whatnot.

Let's just... we'll stand up to her. Don't worry. It'll all come out in the votes. Don't know the pocket dog is the true king. Um... It's true though. I know I'll lose. I'm in on fun. Yeah. That's true. You guys all have fun sitting listening to music without a fire. Yeah, that's true. It's true. You guys all have fun sitting listening to music without a fire. Hey, listen, I need that music.

It's the key. It's the key. What's the go-to playlist? What's the consensus for music for a cookout? No, I go all over the place, so it doesn't really matter. What? Like, I think you're just going to be like, just throwing some random playlist that plays a little bit of everything.

Matt, do you bring the fog machine out for the cookout or lasers? So I actually think that I started to develop a bit of a cough shortly after. And I thought it was like, oh, it's like the wildfires going on, like I have this broadcast thing. I stopped using like, oh, my cuff went away.

And I looked at the package like, oh yeah, it's safe for human consumption, all that stuff. Like, I don't know, man. Like I think the fog machine might not have been the best idea for an enclosed space where I'm puffing and puffing. It needs some ventilation in there, man. Yeah.

So it's actually good now. I get the AC going constantly now that it's hot enough. So I turn the fog machine on for when I want to get the shot with the lasers going. And then by the time like that set's done, like the fog's kind of dissipated and like gone through the AC, everything. Like now it's good.

But yeah, when there's just stagnant air in the shed, you know, it's not a whole lot of square footage of air in there. And so, yeah, it was probably not the best idea. It's fantastic. The things I go for, the things I go through for mediocre reviews on Instagram, it's going through physical pain.

Next thing you'll blow out a sensor on your camera with the lasers, it'll all go downhill. Can't wait. Well, Matt, speaking of lasers and fog, you have a miscellaneous choice here and who knows what Matt's going to pick? So on this podcast, there's been a lot of cat stuff. I, for one, will not stand it. So I will say for your miscellaneous activity, it's having dogs because while you're hanging

around in the backyard, you can throw balls. It's fun. You'll play with toys and everything like that, and they're a great source of entertainment for not only the adults, but the kids. And then when you're sitting by the fire, you're having your cigar, you're having your scotch, Doug just sits right next to you and he just puts his head on your lap,

you get to pet him while you're smoking your cigar, you're drinking your drink, that's the best part of the day. Dude, Doug, you're the best thing, I feel like I know you're drinking your drink. That's the best part of the day. You're the best thing ever. I know you're the best thing. That's the best. I mean, you can't do that with a cat. That's true.

Come on. Only Jen has a fire. Yeah, that's true. You don't have a fire. Maybe I don't have a fire. Maybe I just have. He's got cigars. Yeah, I got a small fire. If you pile those together, it will have a fire, maybe I just have... He's got cigars. Yeah, I got a small fire.

If you pile those together, it will make a fire. It's good enough. If you let your deck, if you drop an ad in your deck, eventually they'll have a fire. You don't put it out in time. So yeah, you'll be fine. And I do that every weekend when we have a cookout. It's a vicious cycle.

Dogs. Not to be confused with the pocket dog. No, definitely don't eat those. Yeah. Don't put them in your pocket. Don't put your dogs in your pockets. Bold choice of dog. That is a bold choice.

Yeah. Better than cupcakes and scotch roos. I don't know. Dogs always the dogs in my family always pop all the kids balls. Like bring out a ball and dog was run out from nowhere and just pop it and be like, well, guys, guess we're done playing. See you guys later. All right, Jen, pick 23. All right, this is my last one, right?

So yeah, you finally get to tell tell us what protein is so good. Big reveal. All right, so I well, I guess I need your help, but I guess if I have to pick one. So I'm going to go. That is the point of this draft. Yeah. That you have to pick one. I'm going to go with steak.

Okay. Like his Katie picked two meats. So I could totally just pick steak and you could pick your cut, right? Let's say we're fancy and we allow you to. Yeah, steak's fine. I'll allow that. But for me, for my list, on my list, I'm going to put a ribeye because that is the best cut. Love it.

Did you put your hand in your face? Chris? I did the knee for cupcakes. Have you ever had a good ribeye? Yeah, I have. I'm just messing with you. Listen, Jen, you can have a steak at any time. Yeah, I have. I'm just messing with you. Listen, Jenn, you can have a steak at any time. It doesn't need to be a cookout.

But it's usually cooked out, even if it's not at a cookout. No, this is ridiculous. I won't stand for picking steaks for a cookout. It's so stupid. I mean, when I say the things that are on the list for the honorable mission, you all guys, all of you are going to think, oh yeah, I'm stupid for picking steaks that cook out. You can have a steak anytime you can reverse sear it in your house. It doesn't even need to be on a grill. And then sous vide. Come on, Jen, this is ridiculous.

Can't sous vide a ribeye. Yes. What are you, what are you talking about? What are you talking about? Sous vide it is. Yeah, if you want them to taste poopy, you got to have the... On the ribeye, the fat has to be grilled. Well, yeah, that's... That's one of the best parts of the ribeye.

Someone needs to up their sous vide game. Come on, Jen. This is ridiculous. All right. All right, I'm going to figure out what I can pick to make Jen mad. This is ridiculous. Alright. Alright, I'm gonna figure out what I can pick to make Jen mad. I gotta pick a drink. Just water. Just water.

I don't have a lot of choices. I'm a very plain man when it comes to drinks. Oh man, this is tough. Oh man, this is tough. But I feel like this is a Masonomic sponsored event. This is the last drink on the board. I feel like we have to pick a seltzer. It would be wrong of me to not choose that. It would be out of character. And I know you can drink a seltzer at any time.

Some people drink them at their desk, but I think it's a great choice. With their corn? Yeah, with their office corn, their corn cooler. But are they warm? Piping hot. Piping hot. Would be the proper way to drink those. I like to leave them right next to my fire pit with dogs and cigars and get them nice

and heated. I keep them in the cooler with the corn so that they also stay warm. But yeah, a good seltzer and if you want, you know what? I make the rules. That can include alcoholic seltzers too. You know what? We'll just allow that. We'll just allow that. Katie got alcoholic lemonade. We can have a little alcoholic seltzer.

No big deal. No problem. So yeah, seltzers, it's a great thing. Little carbonation. No one's ever upset. In the modern age of millennials and whatnot, who doesn't get excited to see a little fancy seltzer sitting out in the modern age of millennials and whatnot, who doesn't get excited to see a little fancy seltzer sitting out in the cooler? A little spicy water. Is there a certain flavor that you're going to pick? Any old kind. As of lately, I've really liked the bubbly pomegranate, blueberry pomegranate, whatever

it is, the purple can. I really like that one. I think it's pretty tasty. Granite, Blueberry, Pomegranate, whatever it is, the purple can. I really like that one. I think it's pretty tasty. Okay. I have recently, I'm not a big sparkling water fan and I know Fresca is a little bit different, but it got me hooked on Fresca. So I'm, it's like the gateway sparkling water, I believe. I think that, well, I don't know.

If you start with that, you'd be like, what's a sparkling water be like no good to you. It's like starting on meth and being like, here, have you tried weed? I don't think it's a gateway at all. Then you're probably right, because I still hate. I think you're hitting the hard stuff. That's like a real drink. It is really good.

Hey, and now I'm mad that they don't stock it up, but work cooler. Get my own. I have not had a Fresca in so long. They're up in their game now. They're coming back, apparently. They are good. It's too much.

It's too much for me. Too much. I had a friend that would, they'd bring them. They like them a lot. And I'm just, I feel like there's too much going on It's too sweet for me, but Because you started with hard stuff, so I Started with the easy stuff. I don't want to start with all that crazy

Fresca stuff next thing. I know you're gonna be drinking like real apple juice like a wild person Straight from the source. All right wild person straight from the source. All right. We did it. Pick. No, we have not done it. One more. If you're keeping track, we have one pick left.

That's true. I am trying. I am trying to actually keep track for you, Nate. I will. I've already done it. So don't worry. Pick number 25. Uh, big Katie.

Yeah. Oh yeah. That's why I didn't know what she did. It's miscellaneous and I have a lot of druthers and a lot of things on my list. You have so many options. I do. I think I'm going to have to go with what I had as number one on my miscellaneous list, which is corn hold or bags, depending on which part of the Midwest you are from. We need some yard games or we're at a tailgate and we need to throw some bags.

So that is my miscellaneous pick. I love it. So for only yard game taken in the whole situation. I held that on my list. It was a big one. It was definitely on my list. Corn hole for everyone to be like, I'm no good at it, but I guess I'll play. That old statement. So fun. And you can only play if you have a drink in your hand because otherwise you'll be upsided.

You get off balance. Yeah. What a game. I do call it bags. What do you call it, Katie? Bags or cornhole. Either one. I don't think I've ever. I mean, I know it's cornhole, but definitely bags. Well, yeah, I was going to reference the Midwest, but I don't want to make anyone upset. All right. Hey, that's our draft. All right. I'll read off. I'll read off what we what we landed on here. Chris, we have, Big Chris has pork shoulder, broccoli salad, beer, cupcakes, and radio slash music. All that FM or AM situation. Big Matt, he started off

with a brisket, mac and cheese, bourbon, scotch, cigars, and dogs. There has never been anything that I've seen that's been more Matt in my life. That's fantastic. Big Jen picked steak, preferably a ribeye, sweet corn, a strip and go naked, the drink, homemade ice cream, and a fire pit slash bonfire with the friends. Big Nate, Big Keith here, by the way, picked burgers,

a side hot dog, seltzers, scotcharoos, and fireworks. And Big Katie rounded us out with tubed meats, baked beans, lemonade, strawberry shortcake, and cornhole slash bags, depending on where you're from in the Midwest. I did want to also note that you could, if you wanted to at some point, shoot off a side dog with the fireworks.

Just, I wanted to get that out there. But congratulations guys, you've made it to the end. Any honorable mentions? What are we missing, Jen? Tell us all of the things that we should have picked. You know we're missing cottage cheese, right? No, Greek yogurt, man. Okay, I'm surprised that none of us picked, well, it was third on my list for desserts,

but s'mores. Yeah, I had that. Well, I don't have a fire, so. Where's the coleslaw? He's the grill. Coleslaw, that was the one my wife. Yeah. Potato salad, macaroni salad, coleslaw, all that stuff.

Yeah, all the salad. I did have roasted vegetables too, because man, I love just like when you guys are grilling and you throw on like a thing of a pan of roasted vegetables. If you threw a, you know, when people are grilling, you just throw on a couple extra hot dogs. I love when they do that. Side-drewing hot dogs. I love when they do that. Um, I did feel bad. Okay.

So I love strip. I wanted to go for alcohol and tell you guys about stripping, go naked, but honestly like good memory for me and a good barbecue always would have sun tea. I love some tea. Like we always had jugs. My mom, my grandma, everybody always would have sun tea jugs sitting on the deck all day and then have a nice cold glass of sun tea. I don't know if I know what that is.

Tea, but you made it outside. Oh, okay. I used to do it too. Yeah. Or a beer Rita. That's another good one. Like it's almost like the stripping go naked except it's it's the like lime concentrate with tequila and beer mixed all together. All Mastinomics and the cottage cheese, made of beers. What else got the Scotch roos would had to go with them? Yeah, I guess. Yeah.

It would have played just the Masonomic song, the 69 Chevy song, the song of the summer. Yeah. Should have. Should have cut a water. What proteins were we missing, Jen, that you said we... I had two chickens on mine, so I like a good smoked chicken and I like a spatchcock chicken. I had smoked chicken. I had pork chops and ribs too. Yeah, ribs is a good part of your choice. Yeah.

I had ribs. I feel like ribs are tricky though. Even wings too. Wings you could have done. Yeah. For one of the miscellaneous, I had badminton because we can get some serious badminton. Even wings to wings you could have done. Yeah. For one of the miscellaneous, I had badminton because we can get some serious badminton. I have badminton on mine because we used to play it all the time back in.

I had beer games for miscellaneous like beer die, beer pong, beer whatever you want to call it. Yeah. It's like things like that. Yeah. Everybody's like, yeah, we're at 40, but we still feel young. We're going to do this in front of our kids. Scar them.

I had a, in the ice cream world, so for dessert, Jen, I just want you to know, I had a lot of things written down. I felt like Scotch Roos would have got a lot of praise given the lore and all of these things. I was met with much opposition. But I did have ice cream slash, like getting an ice cream truck to show up or having like an ice cream truck there.

And then in that same vein, I was thinking having bomb pops or just like little like frozen weird ice. But Bomb Top was different. I had it as a separate, I did have it on my list. I had Popsicles on mine. Yeah Popsicles, I actually had Freezies on my list. Yeah. Specifically, but you could have picked that.

I know I could have, but I thought Scotch Roos was the better choice than I was met with the much opposition and I apologize. Freezies are better than cupcakes. I have to remember that now. I had rocket pops on my. Yeah, rocket pop bomb pop. Because we're specifically thinking, I guess when I think of barbecue,

I think it's hot and you want like a nice cool treat. Yeah, you're allowed to. Know what? I had I had melon on my list, too. Oh, watermelon. Yeah, that're allowed to think what you want. And watermelon. I had melon on my list too. Oh, watermelons, yeah, that's always important. I also had frisbee was one of them, especially for big Joey out there. He would have loved to have a frisbee at our cookout.

Probably should have trampoline on there as well for him. I know he's a big trampoline guy. I did have lawn darts on my list for anybody that's ever got to. Dude, I, uh, wait, no, those weren't lawn darts. I actually only put a regular dart through my foot one time, but that wasn't a lawn dart. Yeah. No, those are just a regular dart.

I had a, the big Jenga and wiffle ball on my... Dude, I went on a tear with giant Jenga a while ago. I loved giant. And then there was one, I had horseshoes on there, which I'm shocked that nobody put. Yeah, I had horseshoes, yep. How do we feel about bocce? I like bocce. Yeah, you gotta have been on the yard.

Yeah. You just play bocce indoors in my fraternity house in college when we were drunk. I did not. We have been all the way. We just play botched. Has anyone ever played a game called quates? Explain it.

It must be like it's like horseshoes, but it's made for small backyards and you use the basic. It's almost like washers, but there's a peg that comes up and you're supposed to throw the walkers over to peg or get in here. And it's me and they used to play it in like small backyards and like North Jersey. I've seen the ones where you like flip it on the string, but never. Yeah, no, this comes up out of the yard.

You got red and black rings and you're supposed to throw it as close as possible to the ring or get it on there. So it's like horseshoes, but it's, yeah, it's like a smaller diameter. It's also closed. It's not open. It's a circle. It's the Taurus. Anybody have a hammer, hammer, hammer, slogging for their understanding this?

Yeah. Like an over fest thing. I Don't know what that means uncultured. It's you got like a stump and there's a bunch of nails And you got a hammer to like you try to hammer in the nails. Oh, you're kind of drunk too. But yeah You got to flip the hammer first, right? Yeah, I Had a ladder toss too. Actually I had ladder toss, which is like. Oh, I forgot about that game. Ladder golf or testicle toss?

Yes, I love that game. That go with your tube, you're like, whoops. Yeah. Man, I haven't seen that in forever. Yeah. That was awesome, I love that. I do love that game. I had fruits and vegetables fresh from the garden because we've always had a garden.

So, snack peas floating around, big raspberry plants, tomatoes when the time's right. So, to me, at summer, you're always getting something out of the garden to eat. Yes. Tomatoes for sure is on the list. Man, all right. Anything else on the honorable mentions? No, all right. Well, I guess that rounds out our draft and that brings us pretty much to the end of the episode then and we can, I got some affiliates that I want to link. Maybe you're, uh, you're having a barbecue. You're having a cookout, um, this summer and you're like, man, I need some things. Oh yeah.

Drink spot or chill. A drink spot or chill would have been a great miscellaneous choice. We've all made a huge mistake. Get out and buy a drink spot or chill. Use code Matt, uh, for 16% off your order. Keith BTW, does that work? Yeah, Keith BTW. That works on GlazeSearch.com. But check out our affiliates.

Where's everyone located on the internet? Katie, where can we find you?

I am on Instagram as morehead underscore K or npz underscore strongman for the lifting activities. Big Matt, what accounts are we supposed to follow? Where are we supposed to find you?

Actually, I had a lot of Squaw videos recently, but we're gonna fix that pretty soon here.

And then more importantly, go follow us. The podcast, Unpaid Intern Podcast. Nope, that's not it. It's right here. I'm reading it and I read it wrong. Unpaid and underrated podcast on Instagram, unpaidinternpodcast.com. You can find that, the website, the YouTube, I don't know, there's no link there, Keith just wrote YouTube, parenthesis or colon, so I don't know what that's about. But follow us on YouTube, go to the website, go to the Instagram, we've got big things coming, even for podcast planning.

I built a whole new app for Keith and Joey. Things are gonna get crazy out here. So things are getting really serious. And you know what that means? That means we'll keep coming. We'll keep going. And that means we'll see you next Tuesday. I also had waiting in the pool, but I didn't say on the pod. Then you have to bring a pool.

Yeah. What pool? We always, we grew up with a pool and then have a pool and I'm there almost every weekend. Posted in December 25th. Just a lake. It's just as good as fire. Yeah. It's just funny to think about like, well, I didn't have a lake here before, but I

picked it, so now we got a lake. We go back and forth all the time on getting a pool. And both of us, our parents have had pools. And I'm like, I look at what they went through to open it and close it every year. I'm like, I don't want that at all. Yeah, you should probably get one. I'll use her parents right now.

Oh, I guess if you have access to a pool. Yeah, it's always nice. Like my dad always had a boat. And then when I was older, then we just went on his boat. I don't want to pay for the boat. You don't want a boat. You want a friend who has a boat. Same with the pool. I don't want to do the maintenance.

Same with a strong man, Jim. You want a friend that has a strong man, Jim. That's right. And that's true, it's expensive. Yeah. Because then you can't buy computers. If you fight, the best thing to do is really to find a brewery owner who has a strongman gym and then becomes your friend.

Yeah, that's a good idea. That's the key. If only I had friends who owned anything or friends in general, but all I have is robots and people who try to kill me. So well, well, about time to head on in. I mean, you know, Dusty trail. Yeah, about to head out. You guys in a couple of weeks, most is. Yeah.

Yeah, it's amazing how fast it's coming back up. Head out. See you guys in a couple of weeks, most of you. Yeah. Yeah. It's amazing how fast it's coming back up. Feels like we just left. Right? That's like one of the last OG that I haven't met in person and it's really sad. Again, just someone just needs to invite me and I could finally make it out

but no one said I could come. I finally get to meet David Hunter this time. I'm so excited to at least like get him off the list. I feel like I've met Katie. I talked to Katie all the time too, but I feel like I've met you Katie. Nope. Okay. Well, if he gets his new laptop, maybe it'll have enough storage

for Nate to come out next year. The whole large language model fits right on his machine. You can sleep on my floor on the RAM code if you want. Yeah. How are you? All right. So it's going to be a different year, I'll tell you that with different changes, scenery for the venue and yeah, we're hitting a new bar Thursday night.

Yeah. I like change. Change, change, no change. Already wearing pants. Yeah. Yeah. Well, we're not going to have our dogs. Yeah, I can't wait. I can't wait.

I talked to my friend, Jen, he went the first year and she asked where it was this year. And I said, not in this, not in the not in the Odie and she said oh my god my shoulder I know I'm mad because if you think of it like a dive bar well everybody wants to go to the dive bar and I felt like that was the mood that the Odie put off I don't care if it was a little bit hot I liked it I like the atmosphere there. Listen Keith is spoiled by his basement He doesn't now that he's in a garage. Maybe he'll toughen up and he'll come back around on the Odie. I Guess she's also seen me lift in a convention hall before that had no windows and it's just no fun

So that kind of stinks, but I think you guys will bring the fun. I hope so There'll be no lack of fun. But yeah, apparently I'm going to sleep on Matt's floor. So Matt, you see that though. I can't share that. I'm sorry. As long as I can cuddle up next to you after you fall asleep, that's fine. Foot on my bed. Yes. Okay, that's fine. Like Ruth or whatever. the everyone doing Thursday through Sunday or you guys stay until Monday?

Yeah, Sunday. Friday to Sunday. That first, that first look for Olivia, Chris, myself, the 630 flight the next Sunday. That was awful. And I'm so glad that the 430 flight exists now. This is like people go in there like the greater increase in people going to live higher lives. Like I signed up at the 430 the first year like that. Sorry, we don't have that fight anymore.

But you can leave it 630. But yeah, hopefully it still happens again this year because that was that was huge. Change of life. Almost 12 hour difference. Mm hmm. All right. I got to figure out how to sleep on floors. I got to see if I can fly with a little.

Oh, you're the best man. Even a blanket. Wow. I was going to bring my own. Just call down and get a cut. Roll it up. Roll it up. All right. I'll sleep on your floor. Book it. I'll make the 18 hour drive. It's already booked baby. I actually I think I got two queens. So you good. Oh, I

can sleep on a bed. Oh, I didn't see you sleep in a bed. I'm gonna push the two queens. You You know, I still have a super queen, but you can still sleep on the floor. I'll let you sleep next to the AC unit though. Oh, that's very kind of you. I appreciate that. Is that the AC? Does that just mean your CPAP? Yeah, yeah, yeah. The exhaust. Oh, I have a planar fasciitis boot now that I have to wear in bed.

And my wife, I got it yesterday, and she sees me putting on the CPAP and the plantar fasciitis boot, she's like, what is wrong with you? Just a broken man. So well the plantar fasciitis boot is eventually going to go away, the CPAP's there forever. What I've never even heard of such things. Plantar fasciitis? Yes I've heard even heard of such things. Plantar fasciitis? Yeah. Yes, I've heard of that.

Oh. But not the boot. So I've had it since like September and I thought I was actually, it was like a heel spur or a bone spur from the x-rays and stuff, but they're like, no, just try this. Like there's an 8% chance it's gonna go away.

So, well, now here's hoping, but yeah, this is awful. What's the boot supposed to do? It basically like it brings your foot back like it's dorsal flexion. So it brings your foot back like this and basically stretches out that plantar fascia that. Yeah, that right. Yeah. The fascia and pushing that back and stretching out is like doing a calf stretch, but like all night. Interesting.

So you know, you're doing all your stretches and stuff, too. So I'm starting to do it now, but I actually stepped out of bed this morning and my foot didn't have shooting first time in a while. So I'm very happy. That's dope. Yeah. Man, Iron Man over here.

Yeah, no kidding. We'll have to look forward to. Yeah, we can't all be like 30 like you, Nate. Well, I'm not even 30 yet. And that's all November. Are you serious? He's a baby. I'm 20, listen, I have three children though.

So I just, when it sounds like you're so young, I'm like, I'm not like three children. I have to add at least, what, 10 years? I got married at 21. I've got three kids. Like I might as well be 40 at this point. What's the matter? That is true. I hang with all the oldies. That's all you old farts. You're playing in fasciitis boots and whatnot. Grandpa's over here. Yeah. When you said like, oh, like I'm almost 30, whatever the podcast like, I don't even

know Nate anymore. Who is this guy? I like to keep all the mysteries. Keep all the mystery. Yeah, man. I can't wait to share that puke story though. That'll be great. Your wife had to laugh.

Yes. There's no way she didn't laugh when you put this boot thing on. Oh, yeah. Oh, my. Oh, I. Do you look at it? What it looks like? Outside of her leg. She loves.

She's like, Why are you doing this to your body? Like, no, it's going to go away. Don't worry. It stays on, babe. Yeah. The CPAT man. She's like, why are you doing this to your body? I'm like, no, it's going to go away. Don't worry. It stays on, babe. Yeah, the CPAT mask stays on too. Listen, you want me to die? You're going to scratch me with your boot again. Oh, bye, Katie.

Bye, Katie. Oh, man. Yeah, this boot's awesome, dude. the the the the the the the the invincible. I'm a broken man. Very broken man. Being young.

Yeah. Hey, you know what that enables me to do? Sleep on the floor. My good buddy, Matt's hotel room. What time you wake up? Chris, like two hours. My alarm clock will go off at two 50. the Hey, it's Gary. I'll start the episode over again. The ice here.

All right. So my barbecue picks them. Man, I'm still taking cupcakes. Gary, are you coming out to the Lyft hard live easy? Yes, sir. I'll be there. Are you are you packing pants? I wasn't planning to, honestly. OK, I'm probably just taking shorts.

But all the mosquito talk has me second guessing that decision. Are you packing? You better bring a bug spray then. Are you going to bring pants, Jen? From everything I've heard, it seems like a poor choice to have pants. I guess if you're in the Ramcota, maybe with all the AC you might want them, it might get chilly. You know, I, probably weird, but I can't drive eight hours with shorts. I do wear sweatpants

when I drive. Interesting. Or joggers when I drive. We need the breakaway pants like basketball players have. I've got a pair of those. I think that's the move. It might be a little small on me now, but I'll just have to go find those.

I think I did a Mastinomics video with those at one point. Oh no. All right, I'm gonna go pack my pants. These dude, these memes of Keith are fantastic. the the the the the the the It's very funny. That's just his face is so. Which section are you guys looking at?

Uh, how to get strong, strong training. Have you not seen them yet? No, I haven't. I'm I'm woefully behind. I had a busy day at work today, so I'm woefully behind. I just. It was only posted around 730 anyway, so you're already. Oh, my God. Oh my God.

You found him. Chicken Bitcoin. Chicken Bitcoin. Chicken Bitcoin is really good. Yes. It's my favorite. What have I done? the the the

the the the the the the the the the the

the the I'm going to pick somebody new to make, to have a, a feud with next year though. I think Keith is going to kill me if I keep feeding him. Sound like this Ohio crew thing is pretty weak. I mean, DC area crew, we go out to each other's meets and meet each other concerts and stuff like that. We all support each other, but you Ohio people, I don't know. It's such a big state. It's such a big state.

It's not in New York, but you know, it's a pretty big state. Big state. Well, I've, Tom asked me, he's like, hey, do you want to go to Kevin's Strongman show? And I was like, yeah. And I was like, just tell me what day it is. I don't, I haven't been keeping track. And he's like, okay.

And then the other day I got on Instagram and Kevin's like, here's how my Strongman show went. I was like, Tom, what the heck? I thought we were going to this. I thought we were going to that. I was so mad. I'm bummed. I wanted to go down to this. I thought we were going to that. I was so mad. I'm bummed. I wanted to go down to Columbus or wherever the heck the dildo strong man show was.

Yeah, that was incredible. The week after the start of the easy Jack and Ginger will be up here. So I'm going to drive up on the following Saturday and go watch him lift. Unless our a prods, it's not too bad. What me see? So I'm going to drive up on the following Saturday and go watch him lift. Oh, nice. Yeah, I think. Our day prods. It's not too bad. What me see, though? He's doing the nationals for whatever UPL is.

Which one's your friend? keep track. Yeah, we need more federation. Absolutely. We're watching righteous gemstones right now. My wife is like, which one's your friend? Which one's your friend?
