Did anybody write me to think about my wife giving hand jobs by chance? No. Oh, because that's actually a very funny story, if you want to put that in there. I'll just put hand jobs in underdry. Because it's not actually from that, it tests, but it's pretty funny. Because I thought either her or Joe would have put it in. I don't know how to bring that up, though. Just unpaired underrated fucking tug jobs, like in the new LAWR.

I guess it's full to run with that. Hi, everybody. welcome to Blah Blur Blur. Blur, Blur. Welcome to Unpaid and Underrated. Episode 348 of the Unpaid and Underrated podcast. A podcast by crew, four crew, about crew,

attended by crew, mocked by crew, listened to by crew, and some people who aren't crew, which, you weirdos. I'm Joey, one of the hosts. Joined as always by Big Keith over there. How to have. Howdy.

And we got all the way from 45 minutes away from me, Cam, Big Cam, you're here. Yeah, good evening. Howdy, howdy, howdy, Cam? All right. Let's get right into the standard question. What's everybody drinking? I am rocking out some hose water this week. Good, Cam?

Yeah, I've got whiskey with a hose water shazer. No, very good, very good. I went to my favorite place, the hose, and got some hose water. sounds good what's everybody wearing anything cool I've got the Natural for Life shirt today uh cams wearing the good bean shirt

yep sure um he sure is isn't it up there oh wow that's hysterical oh wow so that's a good harkin I mean it's only a seven day old harker I got him that's really funny so he he literally like

hand wrote a couple pieces of paper and taped on good over cool that's that's really good that's really funny I had just wearing a black t-shirt I've been getting to the point

where my laundry like all my laundry is washed but I just have this like work bench top of just all my laundry that's right next the washer and dryer so everything just gets on that and I didn't go back downstairs

after getting out of the shower so the black first black clean t-shirt was what we're wearing tonight very good tackle that laundry shortly yeah laundry's for suckers washing laundry is fine

folding it and putting it away for the what do you call it for the birds yeah it's kind of consuming of time I like consuming but not that kind of time consuming okay what's next Keith so

we hit it was the the most relevant thing when you're listening to this it might be sold out already so big Kurt, big Kurt if you will the cottage cheese gripping machine is doing the Massonomics

Lift Hard Live Easy grip contest that he's running himself. It's all up on an iron podium live right now as of January

29th. So when this comes out, I don't know. I think it was half full the last time I looked. So we'll see if there's any spots.

Sunday morning after the Lyft Hard Live Easy like the day after 9.30 a.m. I believe at Mazonomics Gym. There is a double overhand

deadlift with the orange fat grips. There is a like a hill tang so like the tubular jug if you will or the uh the grandfather clock keeps a hang from that from a chin up bar i think and then the third one is just i think it's just a wild card like he's gonna take a bunch of shit at the gym and just have it be like a round raw i'm not really sure it's kind of a mystery but it's just like i think it's you get a point for everyone you lift maybe and there's like 50 different things you can lift supposedly so we'll

see how that one goes uh so anyone that i think is in the afternoon flight or local that can kind to dip out whenever they want, you know, jump in on that. I think a lot of us are on that 245 departure, so we should be able to attend to most of it. We might have to dip out on the tail end if, you know, if it's running late or something. But I don't know. It'll be cool for $25 to have a reason to go to the gym and actually hang out. But that's what I'm looking forward to on Sunday.

I've never been a Sunday attender. So I'm looking forward to it immensely. So you're telling me, lift hard, live easy is now a three-day event. I think it's like a six-day event, but it's a three-event event. wow incredible I just want to go back to something you said earlier tubular I don't think

we say that enough anymore I mean and I was physically using I was using it as like the physical description I know but it just reminded me that like it's going to be a tubular event guys I don't think of dude I don't think of like maybe like a poly sure sure movie in like the mid 90s early 90s probably tubular

like I don't know maybe in point break they said tubular it was like a ninja turtles for sure Probably. I don't think tubular's been like in the zeitgeist in the right word. What's like, what's like, uh, what's like diction? What's your vocabulary? What's like a better term for that, like modern? Yes, yeah. So like, I don't think it's, I don't think it's, I don't think it's, tubular has been in like modern day vernacular for 20 years. Well, I'm bringing it back. 25 year, 30 years, probably. You heard it here first. I'm bringing it back. Well, keep tubular on your radar, because we'll be saying it a lot now. Absolutely. That radical, maybe,

Let's start with Radical and we'll ease radical in. Radical is almost because like you got radicals on either end of parties so radical is almost like a touchy subject I wouldn't even

I wouldn't think I would touch radical in this climate. I'm gonna touch it. What about Narly? We could bring back gnarly. Narlely's good. I actually hear Narlene probably a bit.

Yeah. But like it's a negative word. Yes. Like oh man who who ripped that gnarly fart like Yeah, yeah. It's not like, oh, this is so gnarly man. That's really really

funny. If I can hear you do that voice every day, I'd be a happy man. Oh, man. I think speaking of happy, um, I, so I had a doctor follow up yesterday. Uh, maybe it was yesterday. And, uh, it's at a newer appointment place. And I feel like every time I'm there, I get like a, a different check in nurse. And I've had some like, I think it's my third time I've gone there in the last couple years. So it's been, uh, I don't know, not the most great service, if you will. Like, I'm just like, oh, yeah, this is like, this person doesn't want to be here. And yesterday I just had like the most happy, cheerful, honest kind of dude and just like shot the shit. Like did a very thorough job.

He actually, like, I never had someone spent that much time doing my blood pressure thing. And I was almost to the point that like my blood pressure went up because he spent so long kind of track and everything. But like very, very thorough. And, you know, we, we chatted a little bit of it. And I was just like, I basically, what I was getting at was like, I don't think people go out of their way enough to compliment good service or good, good service isn't the right word. Just bedside manner. if you, I mean, in that sense, it's bedside manner, but like, just, you know, I don't, because it's not, it's not a service injury, but you know what I mean? Like, I always got

him a way to compliment people when they're extremely, when they go above and beyond or they're just very polite and competent. Like, it's just, uh, and he was, so what I was, I guess, the end of the day was he was very, uh, receptive and loved hearing that and was like, you know, I, you know, he was the point like, I mean, I really appreciate hearing that, you know, I go out of my way to do the best I can, et cetera. I think it was like a, you know, a guy in his 50s and he said he's had a lot of different trades. I think he's, he's newer to this field. So I think like I felt good, you know, telling him that because it felt like he's probably going to go home and it's like going to sit with him for that day. Like, oh, this,

the last guy I saw today, like really complimented me. I was just like, I feel like people need to do that more often because like I get that periodically at work of like, you know, when you do get that random compliment out of left field and it's actually like not just your boss telling, you know, trying to manipulate you just to like work harder and it's actually like a customer or a client or like a coworker or something, like someone who's not, someone who doesn't have an agenda or a motive to tell you this. I don't know. It's, I feel good when I get the opportunity to tell people this and I'd love hearing it back. So I think it's just everyone just take, take a little bit more time to compliment good people. I'll give you a, a brief story because it's actually, um,

a bit of an indicator of who I am. Uh, but it's pretty much what you're saying. I was going through the drive-thru one time. And, uh, the lady taking murder was just amazing. She was just happy and attentive and like listening, whereas normally they're not, right? So get to the window and it wasn't her. Like obviously the people that take your order aren't the people that make your order.

And I just said, is your manager here? And I look like me. I'm not smiling. I'm not anything. I'm just, is your manager here? She goes, yeah, I said, can I talk to them for a second? And the manager comes over

and I'm just like, the person that took my order was incredible. She made my morning. Make sure she knows that. Nice. And like, it's just one of those it took me nothing. It probably looked scary

because out in public I don't mask and smile when I don't need to. But like it turned out to be a really, yeah, it doesn't take much to make sure that somebody knows that they're doing good.

So I'm glad you brought that up. We rant out in here a lot about negative stuff. So it was really cool. We brought that up. Tanner, speaking of good service. Yes.

Speaking of great customer service. Yeah, that was pretty awesome. just decided in the Discord to every person that made any type of comment and unpaid underrated, he just gave them their updated order, or member number. Yeah.

And that's all he did. Every comment just responded with a number. It was pretty good. It went on for like all afternoon and in the evening. I think it even even into the next morning. And I don't even remember like what started it. You asked. I think you said, oh, we don't have this person's number.

No, because that was after, like, it was, he had already been doing it. And then I asked Matt for Matt's and then like, he just did dot, dot, dot, because he, like, the whole game was that person has to respond to has to say something. Then he does the reply. So, but yeah, that was, that was clutch. Maybe it was Jake. Oh, you know what it was? I think, Heinrich. Hi, I can't, apparently I've been saying his name.

Jake's snake. Well, yeah, but like, I wanted to, I wanted to say it phonetically accurately. But nonetheless, uh, he was talking about how, uh, you know, he was like number 400 or no, he was like number 200 or no, he was like number 200 or, something, but he'll claim he's number one because he, you know, he just didn't get his memberships. And then I think Tanner maybe gave him his updated number. That might have been where it started, but either way. I don't know.

But it was very enjoyable to see. And, oh, and me turning 808 into boobs was, I enjoyed it. I made myself laugh with that. You're welcome. I had a little joy at his, his PR a couple weeks ago. I had a pretty fat PR this last Sunday. I've been doing, it was a good chance I remember to another, like a small strongman show a couple weeks. So, and one of the, one of the events is an Atlasone. And I just, uh, when I'm

prepping for picking up bags or Atlasone, the one of the thing I do a lot of the times is, uh, do a, like, an SSB Zer squat. Uh, when I do it, it's a little more higher on your chest. So it's almost, like, you know, like a little bit above with a typical Zurcher, but I don't really know what else to call it. It didn't like a high zircher, but I had, uh, worked up to a top set of, it was like three, 35 for a triple or something like that. And then I was just like, uh, I had tweaked my wrist the day before. So I wasn't going to be able to do like half of my other assigned sets and reps of other exercises that day. So I was just kind of like annoyed. And I was like, well, fuck it. I'm just going to, you know, go off book and just see what I can hit for a PR here. Because I think my,

my logged PR was only like, 365 or something. I was like, I know I can do more than that. So I just kept adding 20 pounds until I hit 400. And I was like, fuck it. Let's do it. Um, so I, I done 400s. That was crazy on Discord. That was fun. I was very happy. Um, the funny thing was, I think I think I did like six sets or something total. And like every single one of them except the first one was a PR. Either the, the guy had two rep PRs and then like four single PRs as I kept just rising in the bar. So that was really,

not placebo, uh, endorphin. It's so many endorphins after that. Like I think I did like one, I think I did some like cable push downs or something after that. And I was like, I'm done.

I was so spent. But I was riding that high all day long. Incredible work. Um, do we want to chat about snow and ice quick? I got something to add to that. Yeah, yeah. Have it.

Oh, you want me to go first? I didn't add that. Did you add that? Well, no, no, I did, but I also just talked for like three minutes. I like to alternate when we can. We got it pretty bad up here. Obviously, I'm going to test. Yeah, we have two feet of snow sitting on top of the hot tub cover right now.

Yeah, we all got around two feet, but out where I live, not only do we get the snow, we get the drifts, because I'm just surrounded by empty fields. And last night. Like Fast and the Furious drifts. Like, like. I actually did one of those. I did it on purpose and in controlled way because I really wanted to make that turn

before the snowplow blocked the road. So I was like, well, I'm going to turn without slowing down and I'm going to have to control this drift. I was very proud of myself for that, but that's not the story. A transport truck decided this is a bit of a traffic rant as well because, as we've said it before in this podcast, nobody but us can drive. So just up the road, I happen to look out the window, it's like 9 p.m.

And there's a plows stopped out front of my house. Cam, you can picture that. You've been here. Like right at the end of my driveway. And just down the road, I kind of get up and I look out, and I see that there's a transport truck almost on its side. So how... Like in the ditch or just on the...

Yeah, in the ditch. So it must have tried to turn the corner and ended up in the ditch. Well... You can't get past it. Either way. Both ways are blocked. It's only two lanes here. Well, don't people start coming around the plow to try and get up past it, only to be stuck

side by side with all the other cars that were already there? And now nobody can move because now nobody even has the room to do a three-point turn to turn around and go back the other way. I just don't understand. Is it the, like, how has nobody thought of this but me mentality that, like, you're like, why are we all waiting? We could just go around. Like, I'm sure somebody has already tried and wasn't able to.

That's why they're all still waiting, you idiot. I just, it just confounded me and made me mad for about 15 seconds that people are that stupid. Yeah, that's annoying, for sure. Go ahead. Was it Monday? Monday, we all go out, a lot of, you know, there's such, storm came in Sunday night and we ended up like Mike didn't know if we were going to work that next day. So I ended up having an office day Monday, but we were just able to work from home and do all

our safety training, which was kind of nice. So I got out of going to work that day. But then it sucked because I made to cram a shit ton of work. And the next three days, try to hit her 40 because we didn't have to work Friday because we would have had to like still come in for like three or four hours Friday if we didn't work long as days. So a lot of that just meant just driving out to Buffalo from Rochester the last three days and just still shitty weather. And it's not even like the roads aren't even that bad. It's just people. It's the people. It's the people. And it's just as, like, you go on 70 in the left lane. It's just as bad as the guy going 30 in the right.

Like, like, I passed the Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday weren't as bad. Um, yes, today, driving out, there were five cars, uh, off the road. And like, only one or two of them actually had, like, police there yet. There was, like, just fresh wrecks. So that was fun going like 40 the whole way, basically. And then on the way back, there was like, I don't want to say a 20 car, a 20 truck pile up, but somewhere in that vicinity because like a whole stretch of 90 was closed. and I was smart enough to actually look at the GPS

when it was telling me to like divert the going that way whereas the guys I work with just fucking got on the 90 it just went and they left a half hour before me and I got to the office a half hour before them so they were just sitting on 90 just fucking in gridlock

where I kind of just went the long way around and circumvented that but yeah it was a long-ass day I did a lot of white knuckle driving this week so I don't know it's been a somewhat of a mild winter but this week was unpleasant Yeah, we got shit rocked.

Okay, breaking news. We have a prepared statement from Big Cam on a subject that we've talked a few times about on this podcast, including Will's episode and last week's episode with Jose. So please take it away. Do do, do, do, do, do, do, do. Yep, so this is on behalf of my wife who works in the path, on top of the path, on top of the path. actually, but the path is a magical place, if you know where you're going, and don't trust the maps. Two navigation methods are far more reliable than the maps. Number one is the floor tile color, and number two is the smell. You'll walk through three bank towers from Union Station heading north to

the Eden Center. Each have their own floor tire colors. RBC is gray, TD is beige and green, bemo is bright white, and then Scotia Bank has a red border. If those ways of navigation fail, you can always go by smell. The smell of coffee will keep you on the main track. If you get lost on one of the side streets, use your nose to find the vegan place that blends their own wheat grass, and you'll be back in business. The path is not a tourist destination. It's a means for nine to five people to avoid the weather and street level chaos to get their coffee and Chipotle. Avoid the areas where the finance bros, who self-identify with their Patagonia quarters-it vests, as they are rude towards the nicest bagel ladies. The bagel place is also.

move throughout the path at random times. Any place outside of the bank areas should not be visited by anyone at any time for any reason. End of statement. That's more insight than I could have ever given. So thank you, Danielle, for that. Yep. Don't think she'll be joining crew any time, but I've brought it up. She might be coming in July, if she can get off work or not.

Yep. Okay. Anything else on general topics there, fellas? Oh, yeah. Okay. Shout out to our affiliates, obsidian ammonia, plate snacks, and belt-fed strength. Use code unpaid. That's hypedust.com, which is, of course, our ammonia.

Plate snacks, which is where you can get your gym stickers or any other gym decorations you want, including our unpaid and underrated banner. And belt-fed strength, 10% off of a belt, which is handmade and made by Chris, who is an amazing, amazing dude. What else is I going to say there? That's about it.

Cam, do you want to hit us with a sponsor read? Yep, we've got one already here. Do you identify as a lifetime intermediate? You might be crew. Do you talk about the mouth feel of cottage cheese? You might be crew. Do you know the difference between all the generations of Texas power bars? You might be crew.

Are you not okay with the plain ones? You might be crew. Do you want to see someone eat 100 chicken nuggets? You might be crew. The next time you're surfing on the World Wide Web, log on to massanomics.com slash join if you have extra lift short money to help keep those George Foreman grills running. Thank you so much. Excellent. Excellent. Excellent. some good callbacks and everything. Got a couple snorts out of me from that one.

Perfect. Get our guest on the horn, Keith? Yeah, let's kick all those lookie lutes out and see if we can get the cam on the horn. Cam, you there, buddy? You coming in? You there? No, hey, guys, yeah, I just made it in. There's just a lot of snow around outside.

And so, perfect. Hey, welcome to the podcast, Stranger. Thanks for having me. Just get it out of the way, kind of a little bit of a man of mystery, if anyone uses a lot of social media. So go ahead and kind of familiarize yourself with people so they know who we're chatting with. Yeah, I'm a big cam on the Discord. I've been crew for

two years now and no other social medias whatsoever. It was in university when Facebook came out and never got interested in it and never got into any of the other ones. It's fair. I think I would have never known what you

looked like if a well, I mean, Joey both, you and Joey did some meetups there a few months ago, but prior to that, I think we've done a couple of the massonomics drafts, so I've had a little bit of banter and history with you. So I knew what I was getting into, but a lot of people I don't think has have much of a clue who you are other than just

thinking of the guy on Discord. So that's just kind of neat how crew is, is, you know, you're definitely not alone in that demographic, but it's, for not having a social media, you do seem pretty in tune at least. So. Yeah, I've got, uh, just keep up on the

YouTube and the, uh, in the podcast, I guess that's about it. Yeah. So that'll kind of lead us to that. So like how someone not on Instagram, how the hell did you find massonomics and why did why stick around um i can give you the very long story if you want but uh under under under 10 minutes would be great under 10 minutes all right so we'll start with uh working at the the job i work at now there's a lot of sitting around when you first start because you don't know what you're going to work you find out the night before what time you have

to show up the next day and you might be sitting around for five hours or you might be working for 12 and a half hours. It really depends. So the division we're based out of is right next to a McDonald's. So if you eat nothing but double Big Macs for like six months straight, you get pretty fat, pretty quick. So I was one of the guys at work asked and what should I do. He was like, oh, you start watching like some AthlianX videos and stuff along those lines. So after watching some of those, YouTube then recommended me some Jujimuf videos. So I got into a bunch of those

Watched a ton with A ton of those And then he was doing one with Joey Satsemary Where they were at Elite FTS with Dave Date And then from there That's how I learned about powerlifting And then that got me into

The Lead FTS podcast Which is where I learned about Masonomics from When they were the first episode They were on there Wow but they were on that long ago Yeah they were on there I feel like that was like yesterday

But it was a really long time ago. And then after that, I just downloaded the, the, uh, massan always podcast, listen to the first one. It was the one with, uh,

was either laser or turbo from American radio. Oh God. That was probably the worst fucking audio quality. I mean, it was, it made my first six months on here sound like, god damn. Like I was,

I was like I was in the room with you. He was the, and he was like bragging about how he's like, has a podcast. We're starting a podcast. I'm like, motherfucker. That was the worst audio we've ever had.

Yeah. That was the first one. And after that, probably two or three months later, I joined crew. And then that's where it started. That's awesome. So you don't even. So, I mean, I guess, is it like a treat for you when people post memes? And like, so I mean, not being on Discord or sorry, not being on Instagram, you don't really know what you're missing, I suppose.

Like, do you have, but like, does anyone like that have social media ever just like text you stuff? Or, I mean, because Tanner posts stuff from social media on Discord, but I don't think you can really see it. No, just whatever. posted onto Discord, I can see it. That's about it. It's a whole world of memes you're missing. I'm not trying to encourage you to get, if you've made it 40 some years and haven't got on Instagram, kudos to you.

I think just the best ones will make it on Discord. And that's what I. Yeah, there you go. It's fair. I mean, yeah, that's, that is wild. There's like a whole perspective that you haven't really consumed of Masonomics. But like I said, if you've stayed off social media this long. And so it was getting on Discord a big challenge for you or you were already on

Discord. No, I was already in Discord from video games. So that was... Gotcha, gotcha. That was a pretty easy one to go over from. Makes sense. It was the first time I had it on my phone, though, before that, I was just on my computer. Wow, we changed him. Mm-hmm. Yeah?

Pretty tubular event that happened. Well, Joey knows where you're from and where you live, but I don't have a clue other than up north somewhere, so feel free to let us know anything you're comfortable with letting us know with it. Yeah, I grew up in a small, outside of where Joey lives,

more to the west. About 8,000 people there and I was in high school. After high school there, I moved to Toronto. I got my business degree from Toronto's third best business school. And then halfway through that,

I didn't really know if I wanted to be a businessman anymore. And then in our last year, we had one class where the professor was so excited. of how Home Depot was then wreaths to all the companies that they put out of business. And then at that point, I'm just like, I don't want to be a businessman. So that was the end of my businessman studies.

But after that, I went back to, did some bartending in university. And then I did that for a pretty long time. That's actually most of my experiences in bartending. And I'm doing the job I do now. Do you want to talk about what you do now? Well, I remember the first time in Discord when I explained what I did. I said that it was a subway driver. And then Keith thought that I delivered subway sandwiches.

I wonder if that had to, I'm sure that. Do they have subways in New York? Like, how would they make them that big? I can't acknowledge if that was a joke or not because I don't know. It's 50-50 if that was a joke or no. Yeah. But either way. Um, so two years, which means you've missed out on almost five years.

Um, what's the one piece of merch that you wish you had that you don't have besides the good beans shirt? I've got, well, the good bean shirt's a pretty good shirt. But the, um, one of the first gym tours with one of the Davids, he had the lift hard live easy shirt that was like the NASCAR font. That would be the one that I'd like to get. I don't even know what it's called technically, but yeah, that's, that's the one I missed out on. I think I could have got that at the first live. Lived Hard Leveeasy. Like, I think they had a box full of, we're not selling these anymore.

Because they had that one, and they had the fluorescent lift shirt, but they only had it in, like, two sizes too small for me. And I was like, I don't remember that one. Yeah. Well, there was only one or two of those ones, but I think they did have the NASCAR one. That's a good one. Hey, I know I have a hand in some of this. What is your Hall of Fame status? Rake today makes it eight.

April will be nine. And then it'll be 12 in July. Hell yeah. What's April? April would be the two-year anniversary. Okay, because I'm like... It actually... If it didn't get canceled...

Let's not hold JimCon or the Arnold, so I'm like, that's April. If, I don't know if you can see it there, but the original date is actually today. Hmm. Oh, happy anniversary, almost. Almost, yeah. But it sounds like you heard, you pulled a big, mostly Matt, and you let that credit card lapse, say? No, I just canceled, uh, uh, But there's anything going on last year.

I just canceled all my subscriptions and then kind of went back and re-instituted the ones that I still liked. So Amazon's gone and Netflix has gone, but Masanomics has prevailed. That's fair. Well, it is the cheapest for $3. I mean, it's $3 is a little easier to swallow than like $24 or $17, whatever. Or a Peloton prescription. I don't know. Yeah.

And I would argue not about price, but about value. The value you get from a Masonomics supporting membership. is way beyond all of those other things. And that's only a half-choke. There are days I don't want to go to the gym, and I'll be sitting on the couch on Discord, watching everybody lift, and I will just go,

I've got to stop. And I'll just go to the gym, and it's just because you guys posting just remind me to stop being a lazy dick. So that's one added value. Crew, inspiring, crew, et cetera. Cam, I know you got a gym up there. Does I have a CTF, though?

Oh, it's first round CTF, yeah. Nice, nice. Yeah, and when I got it, there were only three spots left after mine. I wouldn't expect a first round CTF from someone that fucking quit on Massonomics. Oh, man, like, I'm rethinking this whole let's get Cam on the podcast, but no, I'm glad you came back. How long, if you had a, how long do you think you were not a member? Going by credit card statement was it was two months. Okay, so that's actually, that's honestly, like, that's even more cool, though.

I mean, it sucks that you had, you know, but it sounds like you didn't just like, you didn't, just cancel Masonomics. So like, you burn the boats. You, yeah, you, you,

you, you, you, you, you purged, you know, multiple things and then actually brought them back into the fold.

So that, I guess is almost cooler. Um, so I can't give you too hard. I can't give you much shit. If you had just canceled it because you didn't want to do it, but you didn't cancel anything else and then you came back. I would judge you kind of,

nothing else. But this is, uh, so that's actually, kudos to you for that for acknowledging that, you know, the fringe you made along the way was worth $3 a month. well we are glad you're here

glad you actually submitted some questionnaires for us but having a hard time getting some people to do that in a timely manner so I appreciate when people actually have it done a week or two or three in advance rather than like me DMing them like three days out and I'm like okay but you got like one submission so far and it's not yours can you get on this place so I appreciate that cam

so when you did send this out to people how'd you go about that you seem like kind of a private guy who's not on social media so the fact that you had that many people's emails or phone numbers you could text, you know, that's kind of cool. Yeah, most of the,

uh, the replies were all in the same group chat. So I just said, I'm going on a podcast about another podcast that sells shirts and is about lifting. And then I also told them it had to be done by the end December. So that, nice. Appreciate that.

I got them done and out of the way. And then my wife did it eventually. The, the, the wife's are funny because like, wives will either give it to me like on the first. I'll either get the wife's, submitted like very first or like not at all sometimes or like it's it's dead last and the guys are

just like I don't know it's just it's just funny like how in tune a spouse is or to this world or like how much they care about just I don't know but I just like I said I always appreciate anyone anyone any upcoming guests that have already had some questionnaire submitted I very much appreciate you anyone that's uh you know maybe maybe not doing so good take take this as a slight motivation please because it just makes our life easier Joey and I are busy guys so not having to worry about this makes our life easier, please, and thank you. I guess I'll keep going. Cam, are you familiar with least fun, most fun?

And would you love to explain the rules to people listening? Yeah, there's a topic. And then I have to say, what is the least fun? And what is the most fun about that topic? Indeed. Least fun, most fun. Vintage weights. Least fun is trying to find them.

Because I use mostly Kijiji, which is kind of like a Craigslist up here. Okay. So you're going to find people that will be selling for either way, way, way under what it's worth, or people have something where they think that they can make an entire, just make up a price. Like the, the weeder crosshubs that I got, the 35 pounds, the lady wanted $170 for those. So I drove there. It was a two and a half hour drive to pick those up, and then I got them. and then there's another set, the Whipper Watson's,

which are based on an old, old Canadian wrestler named Wipper Watson from Toronto. And he made his own set of weights. And up here they go for a lot of money, but maybe three or four dollars a pound. And for some reason, they're also very popular in Texas.

Interesting. Because Big Lance, who had his CTF featured, has a bunch of them. And he sent me a message on Discord saying he was looking for some as well. But if you look for them on eBay, there's a guy selling the one and a half pounders for $250 each. Yeah.

And I was able to get 11, 2.5 pounders for $25. Yeah, he beat that. Yeah. But yeah, the vintage weights, I had no idea until Tanner started talking about them. And I just, I needed more weight. So I might as well get older, classic ones. There you go. Because they can't really afford to collect too many.

other things that are historically significant. So you might as well get those. Nice. The wild thing I take away from that is just like not, I guess, you know, not knowing you, uh,

doing that, doing that without marketplace. So it's, you don't even have a Facebook that you don't have a profile. You just have marketplace like, and you don't use your wife's Facebook marketplace or anything. You just don't. So you're missing,

theoretically missing out on a ton of shit that could be like at your neighbor's house that, you know, if it's not on market. Because, but also I don't know, though, like if,

if that Kijiji thing is more popular, up there than what because Craiglis is all but dead down here and like I haven't looked at Craigslist in a couple years I'm sure there's still shit on there but it's just it's not as prevalent as it was like I built my gym on Craigslist and sold thousands of dollars of shit on Craigslist but not

in the last five years. I don't know Joe what do you think about the popularity between the two of them you'd probably know better than I would. I mean you actually just solidified my decision to open a Kijiji account again because you know there are things I'm looking for,

but I refuse to get back on Facebook. I think you're going to see Facebook Marketplace is probably more popular, except it's always full of idiots. And I'm getting the sense that there's going to be a large exodus from Facebook Marketplace to other things. Because all you need is a Facebook profile.

Whereas on Kijiji, like, you could be an anonymous, whatever, but like you can't dick around. You can't waste people's time through Messenger. It has to be done through email. you never post your phone number, things like that, that like, I can see the exodus from Facebook for people within our demographic going back to Kijiji. Yeah, the main thing with Kijiji is it's all classified by workout equipment.

And if you sort of buy weights, you're only going to find people selling like rope bumper plates for $150 for $25s. So you just have to go to exercise equipment. And then you find probably three to 400 of those under-debt. little exercise wheels that everybody has, like those peddlers, they're always on there for like 20 or 30 bucks and that takes up most of the screen. So there's a lot of garbage you have to sift through, but, oh, yeah, that's a, I don't, I don't miss Mark or Craigslist, because Craigslist has the people that, like, just want to sell baseball bats, like, people that, like, flip, sporting goods stuff and it just happens to be under the Craigslist sporting goods thing. So it's just

like constant page after page after page. And people, and you almost, you can't afford to search stuff because people miss spell shit. You almost have to like do so many keywords to kind of sort of find what you're looking for. And that's just, I don't, I don't miss Craigslist, but it was helpful. And it's, and it's heyday. Yeah. I did also get a pair of, uh, almost a full set of international deep dish for a dollar

a pound. Hey, there you go. Can't beat that. Wow. Uh, you are right. This is 100% bikes. Ha, ha, ha. And I'm wondering.

if I should have filtered closer to me. But that's really cool. No, that's, I've been thinking about it, and you just really reminded me to do it. Okay. Tell us about the lifting journey. Do you want to ask him his hype question first, buddy? Yes.

Well, somebody deleted that section of the notes. No, no, I'm looking right at it. Least fun, most fun, hype person. Nope, it's deleted a moment. my end. Either way, it doesn't matter. I missed it because I'm a bad host. So, do you want to do a hype person or do you want to do a workout partner? I've got answers for both, so whichever one of you guys want to do, doesn't really matter. All right. Who's your ideal hype person for this lift? For hype person, I just pick

any one of my great grandfathers. Because they were all, like, all their jobs were considerably harder than anything I've ever done. So if they were just like, go list this, they'd be like, okay, right away. Like, I'd have to do it. There wouldn't be any ifs, or butts about it. Okay. And who is your dream workout partner? Well, that one, I'd go back in time and speak to younger cam and tell them not to not work

out for 15 years. Because, yeah, I could definitely be stronger if I didn't take 15 years off, that's for sure. Yep. Then you could finally be strong. Yeah, then I could be strong. I could have been strong by now, but I wouldn't have no way of knowing. I have I have no memory of any ever meeting great grandparents on either side of my family.

I don't believe. Oh, I never met any of them. Oh, okay. That's because I was trying to like math that? I'm like, was he like five and this is a really good memory? And they always had kids when they were 15. I didn't meet my one great grandmother. She was alive when I was first born.

But then she had she was from Aberdeen, Aberdeen Scotland. So I couldn't understand the word she said. Yep. Well, like all the other ones, they were like bridge building. or farmers. So they'd be a lot tougher than I would be. Good answer. Okay.

What was I about to ask then? Yeah. Go ahead. Tell us all about it if you want. Back in university, I was a bouncer at the university bar. So we'd all work out all the time. We'd go to the school working out area. The rack, they call it.

the Ryerson Athletic Center. And we'd go there and do our general workouts. It was mostly pretty much you just do arms before you go to work to make yourself look a little bit bigger in our tight polo shirts. And it worked. But after that, I didn't work out again until I started working here. So I started doing just like one of the basic Athlean X programs. Like you don't get strong with those, but you do is a lot of weight. Like it's a very good way to shed a lot of weight because it's mostly cardio.

And then during the Pandy, we couldn't really do a whole lot. So I just had a bunch of bodyweight stuff. We got a very good deal. There was a guy in Kitchener who was selling entire gym setups, like home gym setups, squat stands, full set of plates, full set of kettlebells, full set of dumbbells. He was trying to get enough to make his own company. So it was like $1,800 for everything.

So we had all of that before we even bought our house. so we had to buy a house to put the gym into it because we're just sitting in the friend's basement for two years. But the deal was just so good that we had to do it. Yeah, we literally couldn't afford not to. So then, yeah, once we had the, once we had our house, all the stuff went into the garage gym.

And at that point, I had wanted to try powerlifting. Once the gym's open, I went to a local powerlifting gym, got a coach, learned powerlifting. I've been doing that for, probably three years and then I got up to my original goal of just having

like a thousand pound total and then after that last year before we went skiing I squatted 405 for the first time then two weeks later went skiing and realize that being able to squat four or five once is not a useful thing

for real life because you have no endurance so the best way I figured out to do that was just a transition to strong man. So I've been doing strong man for the last year and a half now. Love it. And just putting pieces together. Just so the listeners can get a better picture, since you don't really have social media.

How old are you, Kim? 43. Nice. Yeah, I think. 43 or 44, somewhere in that. Yeah, yeah. Just keeping track. Yeah. M1, Masters 1. Somewhere between 40 and 44.

Take it. No, and I understand by experience, you're quite good at finding equipment. Oh, yeah. We talked a little bit about that, but in particular, you know, you found one that I should have. I actually kicked myself in the ass for not getting it when you offered. Oh, the log or something. Yeah, yeah.

It was a rogue log, I think it was. Yeah, I sent you the link for it. I don't know. It was crazy cheap and it was pretty close to you, I think. 200 bucks. But I was like in my head, I was like, that's when I was just changing my jobs. And I was like, well, I don't know if this $200 is worth it. I can't lift it in the basement.

And then like, like four months later, I was like, dummy, dummy. Yeah, I've put together most of the gym is off Kijiji, like the Atlas Stones that we were using that one time. Those I got all. It was the 100 pound, the 150 and the 200. In American dollars, probably about 300 bucks for all three of them. Nice. And then the log was 500 Canadian. So again, like 350 American.

And then everything else is bells of steel because I can just drive up there in 15, 20 minutes and get everything. Yeah, next time we meet up, that's not a lifting. We'll just meet up at bells of steel and play with all their stuff. Yeah. Hey, guys. It's pretty nice up there. Hey, guys, we're shooting content. Yeah.

Sure they would love that. So what are you doing for programming now that you've kind of transitioned to Strongman or at least trying to implement strong run into your routine. I've just got a juggernaut telling me exactly what to do. Juggernaut AI. I've been doing that one for three years now. Did you switch to the juggernaut? To the strongman?

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, switch to the strong man. Do you like that? I've heard of kind of mixed results on that? It's, uh, I'm sure there's better ones, but it just tells me what to do. I don't ask it any questions. I just do what it tells me to do.

Nice. And then sometimes it'll say, it'll give like an insane rep amount. And I think, there's no way I can do that. And then you do it. You're like, oh, I guess the robot knows what I'm supposed to be doing. And, like, it knows what's up. Yeah. I remember when I was briefly back on Facebook in the Juggernaut group,

and people were like, what is your advice for starting with Juggernaut? And is it just trust Chadbot? Yeah. And you're going to look at it and go, I can't do that. And then you're going to do it. And you're going to feel great. Yeah, like, today I did a set of 14 wide grip bench presses at like 220 for some reason. And I'm like, all right.

Ames. I would not want to do that. No, I thought maybe they'd get eight or nine, but there was some obsidian ammonia involved, but still. Well, yeah, because the Amrap days are wild, because there are days all come home from work. Okay, I've been pulling doors all day, exhausted, and it'll go, oh, do this for this many, we think you can do seven, right? And then you do your check-in, and it goes, okay, maybe you can do six. And then, like, you'll bust out nine or ten, and you're like, what happened there?

right so yeah uh i think we talked about it when we met there are ups and downs to the juggernaut a strongman thing a lot of it is making sure you're setting your one rep maxes i learned that pretty quickly a lot of the stuff that i was getting was because i hadn't yet because i've been doing power lifting for four years and then suddenly you go in a strong man and you're like i've never done these before so you forget to update your max and then the program doesn't know what to tell you yeah i found that if you just kind of get like a good guess The first time you do something, it all sort of in, like, a couple weeks, it'll kind of get where you should. I don't like that it doesn't suggest new one rep maxes.

Yeah. Right? Because I know that's not the goal of Strongman. That's the goal of the power lifting program is one rep max. Yeah, whereas if you would do it, you would go, oh, that was a nine. They'd be like, the power lifting program would go, well, maybe you should update your max to this. Yeah, even today, at the end, like, when you go through it at the end, it's like, oh, that was your best set. But no other input, do you want to change anything?

Yeah. Good job, bud. go. Yeah, that's a good point. Maybe I'll submit that. What is speed ordering pizza mean? Oh, speed ordering pizza? That was from three of us used to live in a house together.

And we'd order pizza. And you'd always know the exact questions that would be asked by the pizza person. Like when you call to order, they're like, what would you like? What's the phone number? What's the address? So if you got a good operator, you'd be able to give them the information they wanted before, like before they'd even ask for it. So the record was, I think it's 17 seconds to order pizza for delivery.

That's actually funny. Yeah, because you just tell them you like name, address, exactly what you want because our order never changed. And then just how you're going to pay. And then the record was as soon as the phone call comes up with a total time of call, that was the record that you'd be able to have. Is it bad then that the one place when I grew up in the inner city, there was my favorite pizza place down the street.

They had my number saved. So I would call and he would pick up and go, oh, hey, Joey. Yeah. I don't know if that's good or bad. It was Pizza Nova that we had. I think Trevor had the record at 17 seconds. I think it was what it was.

That's hilarious. You started lifting with in your rustic basement gym in your old apartment. Oh, yeah. I forgot about that. Yeah, I think Danielle submitted this one. In rustic basement, gym, it's a parking garage. So what we would do is I just go down to the parking garage.

I got, during the pandemic, I ordered two sandbags, and we had some of the kettlebells that had ordered from that gym set up. And I just go down there, swing kettlebells and run around the sandbags. It was the only thing that, oh, actually, you know what? I think she might be talking about the gym that was across the street that we were members at. it was like a local community center. It was in the basement underneath a pool. So it was leaking all the time. And it had like, yeah, that's probably what she was talking.

There's three exercise bikes, a set of dumbbells, a bunch of random machines. And then there was like the lifting area. That was pretty much just like a leg press, a bench with a bunch of bent bars and a Smith machine. did everyone know their leg press PR? Oh, there were definitely guys there. They could tell you their leg press PR. There's a bunch of retired Polish police officers that would just be there the whole time.

Because like that part of Toronto and High Park has a lot of Polish and Ukrainian immigrants. And they were all retired. They came, they were cops in the old country, came here, finished off their career as policemen here. And then they'd all just sit in the gym and just do leg press and bench press all day. And they were doing like four or five plates.

and they just keep benchwear branching and leg breasting all day. They were nice. They'd always wear like their old Polish, like police, I don't know what you call it, like PT here, I guess, where the cops would wear. They just wear them still in there. These are like 65, 70 year old guys. Nice.

But that's probably the Rusty Jim she was talking about, not the parking garage. Well, there's a sentence in here that I thought I would get out of you. We originally trained together, but after watching me squat and deadlift, he decided he didn't need to see how the sausage is made. Yeah, that's definitely true. Yeah, what does that mean?

I know what the phrase means, but what does it mean in this context? Well, I was, Danielle was in there doing her squats and her deadlifts, and I was doing something with machines or something. I came in. She was just all sweaty, grunting, hair all over the place. And yeah, I just didn't want to know how the sausage was made. Like, I appreciate what she looks like, but I don't need to know the steps that. I see.

I get it. That's, I'd never appreciate my wife more than when she's like, fucking grunting underneath the heavy barbell or something. Like that's, that's, uh, teach around, I guess. I don't know. Yeah. I've just rather look at the, the end result than kind of know what goes into it.

Mm-hmm. Okay. You used to play video games. I did. It says here. Yeah, I still play some video games, but definitely in, uh, high school and university.

We played a lot more video games. What kind? Uh, well, high school, naturally would be golden eye. A lot of golden eye and Mario Kart. University was when we got into NHL. And then after university was 100% Tiger Woods.

Tiger Woods 2004, 2005. Yeah, James, I don't know if James put this in there, but we played a lot probably three or 400 hours per character on each Tiger Woods every year. Wow. Yeah, so we'd come home from work, just play Tiger Woods all day. And then, yeah, a lot of Tiger Woods.

but I have got some and rock band, a lot of rock band. Yeah, even I played rock band, yeah. Yeah, rock band was a lot of fun back when it was popular. We just sit there and play like all the like all the classic rock songs like by the rush back and then just sit there and just play music all day. Even though you're not really actually playing music,

you just kind of gives you something to do on day. So are you a big golden tea guy now? I did some golden tea in university, but after the I think it's not as popular I haven't seen a golden tea machine in a long time actually I used to be one here in Binbrook and you would like they would be guys that like

would drive for half an hour just to come and play Golden T and they had like the profile set up and they could play at any machine yeah you could have your transferable profile you had to put in your phone number wild wild

yeah I got one hole in one on golden T I think another first or second year university and then after that it was all downhill And was that before, after you got asked to leave a All You Can Eat Sushi Place? That would have been before the, yeah, the All You Can Eat Sushi Place. I want to hear that story. Well, we may have been on some special cigarettes before we went to the, yeah, yeah. So what they do is they go, it was Sushi Island on college.

I don't know if anybody other than Big Will is going to know where that is. he might know where that is, but it was all you could eat sushi place. And what they would do is they would limit some things, like the expensive things, they'd only give you like two or four or six of them if you got the all you can eat. So naturally, you order those first. And then they try to fill you up with sushi, but the real deal is the shishimi. So we would just order plates of 40 to 50 slices of salmon shishimi at a time and just try to get the best value that we could. Because it's only $15 for all you could eat.

So we'd order probably two, three hundred dollars worth of salmon and just eat it as fast as we could. And the one time they came up, he was like, you just have to leave. Wow. Because right in the very bottom of the menu and like the tiniest print that there is, it says hour and a half time limit. So they just wait. And what the other rule that they had was whatever you'd leave on your plate, you had to pay full price for. So what they do is they just start cutting like the shittiest piece of salmon that they could find and as wide as possible. possible so that the mouth feel would just be disgusting.

So their goal was to make you leave it and then charge you like $30 for. But that's smart. We just, we powered through. Yeah, we were asked to leave. It was a other once or twice we got asked to leave there. But then it went under.

So that's, it's now Shoshini Island slightly further down the street. Do you do the same thing at Sashima Island? I haven't been to an I can East Cushu Place in a very long. Me either. Having kids, like, ruined it.

Yeah, I think it's more we just get, the all you can eat sushi is not the best sushi so I'd rather pay the same money and get actually decent sushi now no no that's fair so you just seem like a guy that likes a good deal then so you know you like paying a dollar a pound or less

for vintage weights you like free sushi how the and then uh so I was winning a a car to baseball game had to just make you tickled pink eh well that was a great deal yeah we went to uh it was the Blue Jays game in 2015 the home opener and they were just going around asking if you wanted to enter the contest to win the free car. And we were there pretty early.

Like, yeah, sure, free car. Like, if I don't win, do I get a like a Honda Lawnmore? Because the past year, every contest, if you didn't win, they just give you a Honda lawnmore. And I think it was either, because there's, there's a couple theories of why I won. There is, uh, each of my friends that were there has a different reason. I think mine is probably the most accurate one is I was there with a bunch of people in their 30s.

So if you're giving away a mid-sized CRV to a bunch of people, but you're not going to give it to an old person because none of their friends are going to want to buy one. And a young person, no one's going to be driving around in one of those. So people who are there with

people of their demographic would probably be the person that wins it. The other theory is I had the most ridiculous, one of the most ridiculous mustaches in the history of time So one of my friends believes that it was for 100% for social media cloud was just give me the car because of the mustache.

And then the other one is just pure randomness, but I really don't think it was because they had the whole presentation up on the JumboDone. So I really don't think that it was random. It was definitely planned, but we will never know the reason. But that was the first time, like going off on a bit of a tangent here,

but that was the first time that my wife, then girlfriend, had met all my friends. was at this baseball game where I abandoned her for six of the nine innings and she had to sit with people she didn't know and one of my friend's wife

was secretly pregnant like she was only a month or two pregnant so she wasn't drinking but nobody else knew so my other friend was drinking his beer and the beer purchase for his wife oh geez

he was about 12 tall boys deep sitting next to my wife the first thing that she met any of my friends why are all your friends assholes? Yeah, why is this one guy so drunk? He's drinking twice as much as everybody else. Because he just emptied the can,

give it to his wife, and she pretend that she was drinking it because he hadn't told anybody that she was pregnant, yeah? So he won that car 11 years ago. If you're anything like me, you still have it, but do you? Is that still your daily? Oh, absolutely. It's got almost 100,000 kilometers on it now.

So I guess like 60,000 miles maybe. Okay, that's good. Yeah. How'd that work? So like here's, here's a $30,000 car for free, but you owe us like seven grand in taxes on it? Well,

that was one of my questions when I asked me. Was this just like a lease for a year or something? They're like, nope, you win. I'm like, okay. Like, what about taxes? Nope, it's all covered. Oh, wow. Taxes were covered.

Licenses was covered. The big problem was that the, the insurance company wouldn't insure it because they've never had a car that comes directly from the manufacturer before. Because it always goes, manufacturer dealer to the individual. So they had to end up selling it to the dealer for a dollar.

And then I bought it for a dollar. And then they reimburse me the dollar. So yeah, but it's a great car. It's, uh, yeah, free car. It's pretty nice. It's literally, if I could win a free car right now,

I would die driving it because like I'm with my last car by the car I currently own is like 18 years old. And my next one hopefully last just as long. I doubt it will, but fingers crossed. Yeah. It worked out well because when I was changing the snowtime, off the car that I had before was a 93 Grand Am. As soon as they put the jack on, the jack stand this went right through the floor.

So pretty good, uh, good timing for a new car, yeah. Can't go wrong with that. So someone specifically had talked about your, you know, your bouncing career there and said you might have some good poop stories from that. I'm not really sure what they were elaborating on, but I don't know, feel free. What this is everyone likes to share, share and listen to a good poop story. The bouncing poop story, it's a pretty good poop story. There are better poop stories. But we were closing down the bar one night, and one of the jobs of everybody's

you have to check the bathrooms to make sure that there's nobody in there. And one of the girl security guards came out, which is like, this is the biggest shit I've ever seen. And everybody's like, okay, like, whatever. Like, I've seen big poops before, but no, like, we went in, and it is by far the largest poop I've ever seen in my entire life. and it was about the size and shape of a Kong dog chew toy oh my god

yeah but the thing with it is we had at Ryerson they have a bunch of nursing students and we had one of the waitresses was a nursing student she was like oh yeah like somebody had an impacted bowel and that was the end of it just like this huge dump she's like yes that's nothing but yeah it was that's the largest poop I've ever seen Yeah, I've also seen a

A Someone A needle drug enthusiast Will say on the street Take a bend over And just have diarrhea Directly to the side of an open cop car Yeah

Yeah, there's a lot of stuff that happens downtown Like the cop car They were just sitting there window down The guy just pulls his pants down And just takes a shit directly into the car But then they got out They used the guy to kind of clean the car off Then threw him in the back of the car

Oh, jeez. Yeah. Those are some good poop stories. Well, I think we can stop there. Okay. Getting gross. It's hard to see on Zoom, but someone said, you're fucking tall. So how tall are you, buddy?

He's fucking tall. It was my wife that said that. I'm like, it's a taller than average. I think I'm like 6'5 maybe, 65 or 6.6. Anything above 6-4 is really fucking tall. Yeah. I feel. Like,

I, like, yeah, I think six, once you eclipse six four, that's pretty fucking tall. That's fair. That,

that's a fair assessment in my book. Yeah, that was Morgan when you stopped at my house. She's like, uh, did you know he was this tall? I was like, nope,

I've only ever met Danielle. And so she sends me the photo and she's up to just under your chest. Yeah. Yeah. That's the thing. Like, I don't know people are like, oh,

you're so tall, but everybody seems like the same height to me. If I, it's either somebody's close. to my height or somebody's not close to my height. I can't really tell anymore. Cam doesn't see height. Yeah, I don't see height.

I'm not a height. That's definitely not on your radar. Um, what is this? You won some attendance awards, huh? Is that something you're proud of? Oh, yeah, that was at work during COVID. I got perfect attendance.

So you get like, uh, you used to get a bunch of money, but they took that away. So now you just get the day off. They're like, oh, hey, good job. Here's a day off. I come home. I would take a day off. Yeah.

You come home. I told my wife, like, hey, dear, I got perfect attendant. She just looks at me and just yells nerd. Like, yeah. Okay, I want to say the moment he said perfect attendance, that word popped into my head. Nerd. Well, I look at it like, do you actually get sick? Do you get like sick time that you can like, because with my job, I don't actually get sick time.

It's just a pool of PTO. So like me not taking sick days benefits me. financially, but like, uh, if I had sick time, I'd fucking use every single minute of it. This is Canada. We have it way better than you. We have, um, you are a fucking nerd. If you get, if you get sick time and you're allowed to use it with no ramifications, like, well, that's the thing. We get, uh, we get five sick days without a doctor's note. And then after that, you have to go get a doctor's note. I'd have five, six days every fucking year. Yeah, but then if you have too many entries, which is every time you call on sick, it's one entry. Yeah, that's how I was

with my wife. So, like, you can be, you can be sick for 20 days and that's one entry. But if you call in sick two single days, then that's two entries. And in their mind, that's worse. I've tried to explain that to my wife for the last several years. I was like, don't just like stop taking like one day off.

If you feel like she'd take like three days off. Just take five. So much you have, yeah, she has more sick time than she'd ever use. And yeah, I'm like, I wish I had sick time. I would take advantage of that. But that does look worse.

I came pretty close to letting a guy go because if he was ever off for two days, in a row or had two days off, two days on, and then another day off. He was always sick between those days. And it got to the point by like the fourth month in a row where I was like, just so you know, I've noticed. And he was like, notice what? Like I pulled out the calendar and pointed it out to him.

Right. So it does look worse when you just take random sick days off. But no, like even at my new job, you know, after your probationary period, two sick days, first year, three sick days. they just accumulate and they're just a day that you get to call in under certain parameters by the provincial law. I think it has to be within two hours of the start of your shift. Anything before that is considered just taking the day off and they have to pay you.

They're not fun, right? Like taking sick days for no reason kind of sucks. I know you were saying you would do it, but it just, it's just one of those like, I'd rather be at work. I guess I look at it as like, I actually do get sick. Like I get a nasty fucking man cold once or twice a year that late that like I should not be around people for at least a couple of days because I'm contagious as fuck. And I will work a lot of the times because I don't get fucking sick time and I'm not using my goddamn vacation. Like I will I have to be like really fucking sick to take it.

Oh, I thought you meant. You were like, fuck this. I'm taking a day. No, no. Well, I mean, well, I guess what I would do though is like if I'm, if I wouldn't be sick for one fucking day very often, I would make it a two day sickness just because like Cam is mentioning you. it benefits you to not do individual days. All right.

Well, enough about me scamming the system. Nerd. Well, speaking of systems, Cam, we hear you're very organized, but not organized enough to renew your passport in time. Oh, yeah. That was,

we were going to Pittsburgh to watch baseball. And I noticed the day before that my passport had expired. So the worst part was afterwards, I told everybody that it had a spreadsheet that I was tracking everything on and not updating the spreadsheet was, in fact, worse for me than telling all my friends that my passport had expired. But if you do, if you are going anywhere, your passport expires, you just have to go to the local

passport office, pay them an exorbitant amount of money, and they'll walk downstairs and just put it on top of the pile. Nice. Yeah, so you just had to prove that you were going somewhere. I'm like, hey, I'm going to watch baseball in Pittsburgh tomorrow. my passport's expired. They're like, well, why did you let it expire? And then, you know, you tell them we didn't plan on letting it expire, but, uh, yeah,

they still brought that up. But yeah, I just give them some money and then everything's fine. Yeah, because once you have one, it's like getting it for the first time sucks. Yeah. But once you have one, even if it's expired, they're like, yeah, you're probably who you say you are because we have records and photos here of you. Yeah, and it was only expired by like a month, so it wasn't too bad at all. But it's a good thing I checked.

the night before or the day before and not the day of that would have been a much worse time well even right before the first lived hard live easy mine had been expired for probably three years and this was like right at the tail end of the of COVID right so like everything was still kind of shady yeah and you have to go to get your password uh we have a place just down the street and uh yeah i just I went in and just sat down and you wait and then you go in and then they go who's this person that says that you're you, who's this person. They picked up the phone and called my sister-in-law. Yeah.

And they were like, I have this person in front of me. Can you describe him? Is this what he looks like? And I had it if in a week. It showed up to my door. Yeah. They did the exact same thing for me. And I'm pretty sure I know who put this in because he was the guy that they called.

And they're like, can you describe me? He's like, well, he's kind of gangly. He's not so much the track. He's fucking tall. Yeah. Fucking tall. Yeah. And then the guy is just sitting there.

Like, you can see the passport guy. She was like, Jesus Christ. Like, no one's going to call somebody and make this up. How's the ankle healing up after that break? Oh, that was, that was a bad time. Done that myself. It's not ideal. No, because then afterwards, when the doctor, I saw the osteosurgeon, he's like,

oh, you should have just broken it. It would have been a lot easier because it was just, it ended up being just dislocated. Mm. Ooh. But like, remember how. This year, Cam Scatabooz, like his, when he dislocated his ankle, his big toe went to the left. Yeah. My, the bottom of my foot went to the left.

Oh. So, like, it just snapped the one side completely out of it. No more mental images on that. Yeah. Yeah, that was, that's the worst injury I've had before. That was, that one was a bad time. What's the second worst injury? I did an ACL in

in high school dislocating ankles and fucking pulling ACL blowing a CLE blowing out an ACL that was just literally the tan man to a T yeah just got caught in some in some grapevine and then somebody fell on my leg and then that was just the end of it so don't go traips and through grapevine

in the middle of the night and have other people around you yeah deal Yeah, that's a bad time. Yeah, I broke that when I did the ankle, mountain biking, the ambulance guy, I looked at it like, this is going to be a problem, isn't he? And he's like, that's fucking disgusting, man. He's like, that's horrible.

But I went to the hospital, he just snapped it back in. He's like, it's going to suck. He's like, we're just going to sedate you for like 30 seconds to snap it back in. Because apparently the sound of it is pretty bad. And some people start to have problems with just the noise. so they just knocked me out for that one. That's wild. I remember when I had a tooth removed

and they were like, you're going to hear all of this. It's going to suck, don't panic, you won't feel it. And they were right. Should have just put me out. Yeah,

when I got my wisdom teeth out of the bottom ones, they just had to cut them into smaller and smaller pieces to get them out because there was no other way to open them up. Were you awake for that? Oh, yeah. Man. Three hours.

It wasn't bad. That's horrible. Knock me the fuck out. Yeah, I still have all my wisdom teeth, but someday they might have to come out. But so far they're not rotten out yet. Yeah, over here, they're just like, give us $100 and you'll wake up with no teeth. Okay, here you go. Hey, Cam, how many subway footlongs is too many?

Three is too many. Yeah. I can eat two subway footlongs. This is back. This is a while ago, though. What meat? Because that, I feel like that, what the meat and then the toppings, one million. percent can his caveats

there'd always be a subway melt so like the turkey ham and whatever the third mystery meat is a bacon yeah bacon was on the melt right yeah and then a tuna as well tuna yeah smashing smashing 24 inches of that is a lot yeah that's usually what I'd eat for lunch

back in uh back in university times when you weren't eating double big max oh so what the fuck is it did you miss be when you said a double Big Mac or is that what you guys? Because a Big Mac here does have two patties, but I've never heard it called a double Big Mac would have. Oh, yeah, the... So you actually order a four paddy Big Mac?

Yeah, you guys don't have double Big Macs? I've never heard of it. Oh, yeah, it's literally a double... It's a Big Mac that has just twice as many patties to it. I can see that being more beneficial because like a regular Big Mac is like about a third too much bread because that extra piece is just... Yeah, it's the same. It's just the one piece in the middle and the top and the bottom,

but it has to... It's got four patties on it. I did a, one of my, is invented by Grayson. I had a, every now and then I, you know, speaking of the Phillips, his aunt has referencing lazy protein. Every now and then I do like a, you know, they're like $12, $10, $12 to get like a meal prep. I go into the places that like, you know, they're always trying to sell you the whole like week worth of food. You can still go in and buy single meals for 10 bucks-ish. So I will pick a handful of those up every now and then just throw them in the freezer.

So if there's a night, we don't cook dinner, it's like, I know that I can get, like, a decent amount of protein and not horrible for you. So tonight was one of those nights. And it was a kind of, it was a burger casserole, but it kind of had like that big macy sauce on it. So, like, my first bite, I was actually really surprised because I thought it was going to be like really shitty and bland. And I was like, wow, this was fucking pretty good. I was like, you know, just ground beef over pasta with the Big Mac sauce adjacent. so sorry to seal that.

Where we're at. Oh, so do you think your wife, we think your wife will consume this episode? 50-50. Okay, so I would, I'm going to assume she is going to listen. So I want to hear you tell me who has the better, you know,

ideas when it comes to lawn maintenance. Who has the better ideas when it comes to lawn maintenance? Unless I'm, both use different strategies for lawn maintenance. propagate what the fuck is lawn propagation for growing for growing yeah there's like a whole pair

there's a whole sentence of saying that you guys to completely don't agree on it and shit and who's superior so I figured it would oh yeah because she she doesn't believe that when you put down sod you have to put peat moss over it and then water your peat moss and keep the peat moss wet so that the grass can grow she just takes

the seeds and just throws them randomly throughout the lawn and expects Jesus to take the wheel and the seeds will grow. That sounds like something my wife would do. Yeah, you just kind of have to, you have to take care of your lawn seeds.

You know, grasslings need help. And the peat moss helps protect it from the birds. Yeah, and it doesn't blow away. And it keeps it wet. Yeah, I, I don't think I've ever seen the word propagation. Propagation. Man, I was telling people at work, because they were like,

what's your podcast about? And I was like, oh, well, kind of nothing. but also my co-host has never heard of a platypus. And like suddenly they were all locked in. They were like, he just didn't know they exist. I was like, he did not. So I had to tell them the whole story.

I learned a lot of shit. I wish I could like, I wish Chad GPD could just like break down like three years worth of shit that I've said, I didn't know until today. That would be a pretty like extensive. It'd probably so let's see. So what is this 140 something? So there's got to be at least.

40 might be too. If the over under was 40, have I learned 40 new words? I'd probably take the under, but I would take the over at 30. I would say somewhere between 30-ish, sounds fair. I think every couple, at least once a month,

I'm like, I didn't know that. But maybe it's more often. I don't know. Listeners tell me, because I, there's, there's, I feel like I'm playing, I feel like when, when the, the Discord pops off,

when people are going back and forth, then people are making comments. I'm like, man, I wish I got that reference right at the moment. I'm too. I really do need to start listening to these again, I think. Just on like, maybe I should listen to them on like 2X and just get the gist because sometimes I'm like, I feel like I'm missing out on the party. Wait, did I say like, I had no, I couldn't remember. I said good beans until, uh, no, I forgot to.

And then I was like, oh, I did say that. But it was also. And we, I could, I could have the excuse of like back in the day when we were fucking recording damn near until 11 o'clock at night that it was like, literally delirious sometimes, but now we're done by like 930 most of the time. And it's like, I probably should remember more than this. But also if you're getting up at fucking 430, it's like it doesn't really matter.

Yeah. But nonetheless, I kind of went on a little ramble there. Last week was we did like a four minute post show. And then I was like, guys, I got to go. And I'm telling you, I walked from here to there and was asleep within within the 30 seconds that took. I love it.

Are we ready for games? I don't know where we're at. And I do think you're right. You had mentioned some of the stuff kind of got... I think when I copied one of the things, some shit got discombibular.

So I'm going to just scroll down underneath all this to make sure we're not missing anything. It happens, but I do have one that is very interesting because I'm hoping Cam can explain some of these words. He once pre-drank for the Century Club.

Yeah, that's true. What is the Century Club? It was going to be my first question. Sorry. The Century Club is a little bit. you take one shot of beer every minute for a minute for 100 minutes. I thought it was a place in Canada. That's why I cut Joey off because I wanted to know what it was.

I thought he knew what it was. It is 100 ounces of beer in 100 minutes. We did that university. I've done that probably two or three times. Yeah, the biggest mistake I ever made was like, ah, I'm just going to have a beer before we sit down and do this. It's like eight to eight to ten beers, a give or take, isn't it? Yeah, somewhere in that area.

Yeah, and just over an hour and a half. I mean, if I could do that. And we were doing, I think, the first time we did MGD, so that's 4.5%. And then the second time we did, we didn't get smarter. I think we went to Canadian that was a full five. At least it wasn't bone shaker.

No, if you did bone shaker, that'd be a big problem. Yeah. It's not a next thing. A beer. Yeah, a delicious, delicious. delicious beer. Yeah. I feel like that's something

my Miller, was it Miller genuine draft? Yep. Yeah, I feel like my parents drank that when I was a kid,

but I don't think I've seen it in like a, it's still pretty popular up here. Like all the bars have it and everything, so. It's in a clear bottle. It's a fancy beer for me.

It's got shiny label on it and everything. Really, really pops. Yeah, I do remember that. It's funny the shit you remember from your childhood.

But yeah, I don't think I ever get, yeah, well, like, I'd fucking drink heavily for several years in high school and like out of college.

I know, but it was just the way you learned about it. Well, I'm trying to remember, like, I don't think I ever drank an MGD. Like, I don't think I ever, like, bought one because it was always like,

what can I get for 20 bucks? Like, what's the biggest amount of beer I can get for 20 bucks that I pay someone to go buy me or, you know, use my shitty fake ID? We used to be a proper country

where 20 bucks would get you out of cold beers. You get a fucking, you get a fucking, some beer and can't of snuff. Yeah, I think the cheapest beer you can get up here is probably Laker. There's a couple beers that are a dollar each.

They're not the best beers. No. But they're a dollar of beer. Yeah. I did go back to that brewery today that we went to to try to get more of those caramoke beers, and they don't make them anymore. No, those got to be seasonal.

Yeah, those are seasonal. Like the root beer beer, yeah. They only make them once, and then that's it. Yeah, I ended up for Christmas getting Morgan two cans of the winter white stout from grain and grit. yeah those aren't cheap there's six bucks a can yeah delicious though how is it being um say how long you mean with how long have you been together with your wife 10 years okay so and it says here it says she's 10 years younger so you were you were 34 and she was 24 when you got together yeah that's true

was uh was do you think that that that that that died that uh dim that that that that that age difference at that point was maybe like the biggest, it was like once she got a little older, I'm sure, like the older she got, the less, I'm just, I was, I've never dated someone 10 years younger than me. I'm just curious to how that was when you were,

you know, when the, the gap was where she was at her youngest and, you know, the, not least mature, but like, I don't know how else to word it.

Yeah, well, when she, we worked together and she, she was on that pursued me. So, oh, there you go. I just had to get,

I talked to a couple of my friends. Like, she's 10 years younger than me, like, yeah, but she's smart and she's hot. You just don't want to see how she gets hot, that's all. Yeah, I just don't want to know.

I just don't know how what the steps were to get there. But yeah, she was doing her master's at the time. And then when we were living together, she was finishing off her PhD. So, yeah, she's considerably smarter than I am and younger than I am. So definitely a trophy husband, I guess. Hell yeah. The rare 10-year-older trophy husband. Just a point there.

How long have you and Stephanie been together? It'll be 20 years next month as far as like a couple when married. So we got together in 16 or no, got together in 06, been married since 08. So like next, we're less than 30 days from being 20 years. And you're 41? I'm 40. She's, I'll be 41 in June. Yeah.

So I am very happy you've never dated anybody 10 years younger than yourself. Because I know. When you said that, I did the math. And then I was like, you. Oh, yeah. The last time you dated, you were 20. Yeah, basically. Yeah, no, yeah, because we got together when we were 20.

Yeah, no, I'd only ever dated someone a couple years younger than me, honestly. Yeah, also I, also, I just fully had a nerd moment myself there. I was doing all that math and I was like, well, he's been with her for this long. Yeah. Well, it feels before too long, like, we're like, I mean, essentially within the next couple months, I can honestly say I've been with her for half of my life. and but like significantly more if you don't count like like zero to four

you don't really have any many memories of if I eliminate that from the equation as far as like actually having trained you know thoughts and shit that I can remember I've been with her for much longer than I've than half so yeah then you can also go your entire

dating life since he started dating you'd be mostly with her then yeah pretty much yeah what is high dollars last season season. Oh, hi, Dollar. That is the all-time record-holding intramural ball hockey championship team of our Ryerson University. We, uh, we were hockey like, like indoor field. Yeah, like indoor hockey with, uh, like an orange

ball, without skates. Okay. Okay. Yeah, we were the, uh, we were the most hungover team because the games were always like 7 a.m. or 8 a.m. Sunday morning. And, uh, yeah, the last season, We won three championships in a row. And the final season, we didn't even, we never trailed once. So that was our, I was just, I don't know, that was our most dominant season as internal ball hockey players in university. Yeah, it's not really that important, but it was fun. It's always, it's always, it's always neat to see what people put in for, you know,

we have a variety of different, like, trying to just get people to, pull wild hairs out of their ass for facts that they can give us about the guests because there's only so much we want to talk about training. Like, we don't want, it's not going to be a two hour podcast as telling me about your lifts.

So it's like, you know, we always like to pull random stuff out. So, yeah, the one thing about that is when I was in my last year of university, it was, uh, we,

in Ontario, you used to go up to OAC, so grade 13. And then in our last year, it was the first year that there was no grade 13 the year before. So it was essentially like a bunch of like 23, 24 year old guys playing, all hockey against a bunch of 18 year olds.

So we were just kind of, we weighed them all by like 30 or 40 pounds. So we just kind of, some of the teams were of 18 year olds, so we'd just be able to push them out of the way and a lot of mercy rules in effect that year. But yeah, there's two or three good teams. But, you know, playing for the

name on the front of the jersey, not the name on the back. Ooh, I like that. Yeah, all lines were firing. Other hockey cliches. but yeah, that was, we had a pretty good year like here. Dirty dangles and stuff. Oh, dirty dangles like Top Cheddar, lots of wheels.

Yeah. Yeah, you could, go ahead. I was going to, you were mentioning dirty, so I was trying to make a segue into dirty dishes, and I'm assuming this was from your wife, under things they hate, and it was the way you,

the way someone washes and dries dishes. Yeah, like, there's a proper way to do dishes, and then there's an improper way to do dishes. Mm-hmm. You just clean them and you dry them and you put them away. And then if you're putting them into a drawer, you stack them. You don't just throw them in there. Okay.

I've taken over. And much like Jose said last week, it is true. But if you do something in like the first week or two that you're with someone, you will be doing that the rest of your life. Like, I take out the garbage. I do the dishes. Hey, that's the work of a trophy husband. Yeah. I have to do things.

Yeah. I think I've spoken about it before. but when you're doing dishes, like there's an order in which you wash, right? Yes. Yeah. So like, nasty as shit for less. No, well, kind of. I always go flat things first, small things next, bowls, Tupperware last.

They go in the drying rack because- Where does your cutlery go? I have a cutlery thing. Okay. But the way I do it is so that like you can fit the most things in the drying rack as possible. And then the pots and pans, you hand dry and put where they go. Yeah. Okay. I'm the only person in my house that does that.

Well, that's probably because you worked at a bar in the past. And you've seen it done for efficiency by people whose job is to wash things. That could be it. But man, I picked up my coffee mug. 430. Let's go 5. 5 this morning. I go to pull my coffee mug out and it's Tetris.

And the whole thing slides. And I'm like, it should never be. be like this, like ever. There's a way, but she gets mad if I do the dishes because somehow they are, quote, greasier than when you started, end quote. And I don't understand that either, because I'm using the same water and soap you are. Anyway, that's my, that's my dish is, do all three of us not own a dishwasher, which would be really funny because I think almost everyone is.

No, I have these. No, I have these. When I tell people I hand washed, like most people I know, like just, you know, they are in slightly knew our houses or an apartment to have dishwashers. Our house was built in 1946. Yeah. So no dishwasher for us. We had one in our apartment.

We lived in before we got our house. Yeah. As an adult, I've never had a dishwasher in my entire life. And, well, where we live, the hard water would, apparently, my neighbors have tried it.

Yeah, and the calcium just messes up the machine. But also, from a personal note, I despise the smell of dishwashers. Just utterly despise that. Weird, smell. No, whenever it's running, like my brother has one. And I'll know.

Like, I'll walk in the house and I'll know if it's been running in the past half an hour. Because I can, I can just smell that. Fuck your dishwasher. Yeah, fancy pants. When we, back when we were a proper country, we did our wash in the hose. Just take the hose to the dishes. It was much easier back then. Use lead water.

was say here we're i got some speedo talking some things you love so were you wearing a speedo when you enjoy met up no in the hot tub no those are just normal uh yeah those are just normal shorts but uh but you are a speedo guy when we do go up to the cottage there's uh my friend has a cottage that's probably three hours from here on the lake and it's just five dudes and uh some of us wear speedos just for uh for something to do but uh yeah just started once as it's a joke and then every year we just buy more and more speedo. So I think I've got three or four, three or four on tap that I can just switch through.

But yeah, we just go up there, put on our life jackets. First thing you do in the morning, you have breakfast, had your coffee, and then you just put on your life jacket. You take a bunch of beers down to the dock, jump in the lake, and just float and drink beers until lunchtime. And lunch is beers? Well, lunch sometimes a sandwiches. Sometimes we have spicy salami sandwiches.

Yeah. So any chance we're ever going to get to see over here at the Arnold, home Jim Kong crew falls. He's already hinted at it. You got four options. In July, all booked up and all paid up. I should be there in July doing some Navas Strong Manning. Oh, nice. On the roster.

Good, good, good. I'd love to see that. Any of the events that you're kind of worried about, or you think you're going to be able to hit all the weights for Navas so far? I think I should be able to hit all the weights. I got a, there's a guy in Ottawa that made me a circus dumbbell, so that should be pretty good. And then the log I already had, made some farmer sandals last week. And then, you'll have to send me the specs. I meant to text you and tell you that, but now that you're here.

For the farmer sandals that I made? Yep. Yeah. I think it's time. Yeah. They were pretty, yeah, just some four by sixes. And then it's about it, four by sixes and some gas piping and 100,000. $150 all in pretty much.

Yeah, I think it's time, Joey, got some farmer's handles. Yeah. Are you going to toy around with the homemade tsunami bar? Yeah, I've already started working on my... I bought the pipe, and I haven't, like, gone much farther than that. Yeah, but to avoid copyright infringement, I will be calling it a large wave bar, just in case. Can't we work the Great Lakes into that somehow? A rogue wave bar, maybe?

Yeah. Yeah. So that'll be ready when I come over. Oh, yeah, that'll be ready probably next. No, I'm going skiing next week, so two weeks after it'll be ready. I think our next meetup, Keith, is in May. Oh, yeah, you should come up, Keith. Yeah, if you want to make your way up.

I'll see what I can. I think I'm trying to get Steve and Stasia to come. Yeah, it's in the calendar. We've switched at our house to an analog calendar. No more Google calendar or anything. We have an actual calendar that we just write on. We've always had one. Yeah, because I'll say put that in the calendar,

they'll never look at the Apple calendar. Yeah. When I wake up in the morning, I just look at the physical one. Yeah, it's underneath the physical clock. Yeah. It's the only way I know because we get trash every week, but recycling is every other week. So it's the only way, like, so my wife fills it out in like every month in advance. So, like, I just look at it when I take the track because, you know, that's my job to take the trash out to the curb.

So I was like, I have to look each time or ask. Does it done it in the first week? Yeah, yeah. Shouldn't that be the other way around recycling every week, trash every two weeks? No, I mean, we definitely fill up our fucking trash bin and recycle. I mean, the sad thing is, inevitably, I do end up having to throw away a bunch of recycling. Yeah. Once my recycling is full, I'm not going to, like, just hoard it in the garage.

Do you have, do you, so up here, okay, we have a limit on trash bags, but no limits on recycling. No, they only will recycle what you can fit in the, I mean, it's a large, let me, it's the same size as my trash bin. It's just a blue. Can you not put two out? no they only give you one i mean i maybe you could go buy that's wild because it's all like because it's all like the truck the truck can only pick up certain size things because it's got like the all claw that comes out of it and shit so yeah we've got uh we have alternating weeks we have recycling one week garbage the next week but compost is every week

and you can get uh for recycling bins you can order like the biggest bin you want because it's all it's free you have like the tiniest bin or the biggest bin it's just garbage that you pay for the size of the bin all right free must be nice. That's all incorporated in our fucking mortgage and our taxes and shit. Yeah, ours is incorporated. You can do one trash bag unless you file

that you have multiple people so like because I have kids I could get a second one. Or they give you tags which you can put out a second or third using the tag. But you can have unlimited recycling. I could put out four recycling bins

and they wouldn't flinch. And compost, we just have our own compost in the backyard. I think the recycling changed, though, like, in the last, because like I said, we've been in this house since, like, 2011. And I know for the first, like, at least handful of years, I had, like, the stereotypical, like, mail, like, the, you know, the thing that you could carry, like, a, like, a large container, not, like, a big rolling container.

And you could, like, put anything out that was full of recycling. And that's what they would take. But probably in the last 10 years, they've, it's, it's, it's, switched to the bi-weekly in the little large-ass container. But that's that's a trash talk. That's enough trash talk. Nate and, you know,

Grant and Burjee would be really proud of all our trash talk here. It's a big topic on the OK podcast. I think you were almost ready for games. Yeah, yeah, let's get the FMK. I kind of had to like, I did something to these notes.

I'm like, Bush and like, you'll find that. There's two things. No, no, I know where they're at. Yeah. Oh, okay.

There's two things maybe. First, where's the dog? She's upstairs. Yeah. If you remember when I visited Cam, that was when the whole unpaid underrated gym tours, but it's just us visiting pets. We're not going to do gym tours. We're just going to show up the people's houses to be like, hey, crew, where's your dog? That is fair.

I think I at that point I had like three or four under my belt of cruise, cruise animals that I've, you know, petted. Yeah, I'm at three for sure. And then the last one this so knowing, again, you've referenced, I worked in a bar. You know, I also used to celebrate it.

Your first day is a bounce of for St. Patrick's Day? I'm so sorry. At a university bar. It's horrible. Oh, no. And I worked from 10 in the morning till 4 in the morning. Fuck that. All right. Yeah. Choose

your favorite three stories. from then or in general? From that day, if you can. Well, the first night, I got to call, like a week before my friend Victor worked there. He was one of the bartenders. He was like, hey, you're a big guy. Do you want to be a bouncer? And I was like, all right.

So I came in, and the rules for the bar were nothing from Roadhouse. Like, those are literally the rules. Like, if you saw it on Roadhouse, you can't do it to people here. Okay, yep. Yeah. And then, uh, I started 10 in the morning. We were already full by 1 o'clock.

Liquor inspector had been there four times already. The liquor inspector just pretty much sat at the bar for the entire day because it was a university bar. It was also the first day that that bar had opened ever. Yeah, you're asking for the inspector at that point. Yeah. So he hung out there the whole day cleaning up puke like before. I'm like, oh man, I don't want to see puke. But by the end of that night, like I could just go out and clean up puke all day.

and it doesn't affect me now at all. From that, there weren't any other good stories from that. There were, I do have a good puke story, but I don't know if that's one that we should share. It's not me puking, it's customers, but. No, no. We've done enough poop and broken ankles. Okay. For my own benefit, let's step that one.

Actually, when we finished that night, we all went out to Golden Grittle, like the pancake place. or breakfast place, whatever you want to call it. And Super Troopers had just come out. One of the guys is like, I'm going to chug this entire thing of maple syrup. Hell yeah. So he did. And then he felt real bad for probably the next 36 hours. Oh, no.

Yeah. Because it was like, we had been up for, well, we had been working for, what is it, 10, 14, 18 hours straight. And then he just chugs an entire thing of maple syrup. Yeah. Yeah. So, you know, I, I've heard that in the movie, they actually, actually it was real maple syrup. Yeah,

they might be. Because they couldn't find anything to be that consistency to make it look real. Oh man, that's awful. Yeah, like,

I don't know why you do that, but he's just like, I'm going to do this because, you know, naturally, then in the other bar, you know how it works.

Like, you're cleaning and you're like, oh, look at all this extra foam beer that we had when we changed the kegs all day and it's been sitting in the fridge. What are we going to do with this?

Yep. So then everybody drinks like one or two pictures of beer before you go home and then you went for breakfast, and it's just, it's quite the time. Yeah. So the best cooler in the crew, I guess, is what they would call you. Yeah, that's what they could say.

But yeah, we never really had any big fights, but at one time I did jump over a table to tackle somebody. That made the school newspaper, too. One of the two Ryerson newspapers talking about the time that I jumped over a table to tackle somebody. Well, I'm sure they had it coming. Oh, they did. They, uh, what did they do? Oh, yeah, it was our neighbor. She was a, like a tiny girl.

And the guy just like went up just like slapped her right in the ass. Yeah. We're like, well, you can't be doing that. So. Yeah. That's a good way to get hit by somebody. Yeah. Because they,

the best part was like Ryerson had this own, uh, like security team or security force. I don't know if that's what you'd call them. Mm-hmm. But whenever something would happen, they'd be like, oh, we can't find the tapes. The tapes are gone from the video cameras. So. No, no. Yeah.

But if you punched a bouncer, oh, they found those, those tapes were there. They were ready the next morning. I had to sneak Best Cooler in the crew in because I was like, Tidal. I got one, it wasn't really submitted, but as a Canadian, you might have a good opinion on this. If you don't watch them, then we'll move on. But are you familiar with Letterkenny and Shorzie?

Oh, I'm familiar with, like, the original Letterkenning. I actually went to university with Mrs. McMurray. Oh, nice. Oh, she's the best. MacMurries. But, you know, so you're not active, you're not up to date on Shorzie then? Shorzie, no, but Letterkenny. Okay.

Okay, I was going to do like Shorzie versus Letterkenny, but it's all good. All right. Are we ready for FMK then? Yeah, it's, yeah, we're an hour and a half in. We've probably got to get to that. Yeah. Big Cam, FMK, West End, downtown, east side. Like of Toronto, I guess.

I that's what's submitted it yeah um well fuck there actually i just kill the east end nothing there's nothing good east of jarvis that's going to make a couple people anger from the east end but uh yeah i've never spent much time in scarborough and uh during university i lived in at schutern sherbourne which is not the best area of town like we had uh there were uh crackheads that would perform sexual favors for very low amounts of money that would live around our house. Hell yeah. Yeah. But,

yeah. And shit and pop cars too, right? Yeah. No, that was actually a Dundas. So that's downtown. But, yeah,

that's the east, no, kill the east end. Um, you can go to bars. You can go to baseball games. You can go to hockey games. But,

yeah, fuck downtown. And then marry the West End. Yeah. The West End is a lot nicer. It's a lot more civilized down here. it's yeah

I just like the west end better where is where is the opera house opera house that's east end right that's in the east end yeah yeah yeah

I can't see it wrong there I think that's that Danforth and Pete maybe yeah Danforth and King almost you know King and Danforth are parallel So probably, okay, yeah,

so definitely, probably not that. So Danforth is, it's right where that hotel is that I stayed at. Nicest hotel I've ever stayed at would never stay again on my own money.

Can't be fucking more expensive the goddamn Ramcota this year. Fucking Jesus. Oh, I'm telling you, it was. I'm sure. I was more about the Ramcota

being a hundred hours more than it fucking should be. I, when I checked. I'm sorry, upper house was like Queen and Coxwell. So that's far east end, yeah.

Yeah, this hotel was, the hotel from the John Wick. Like it was the Continental. It was beyond nice. I felt out of place. So speaking of East End and West End, can you point East? Can I point East?

Yeah. Can you point West? Yeah. Is that from Danielle? Yeah, it is. Yeah. She's a professional geographer, so she should know her directions. But sometimes when we're driving, I get confused. Oh, she said something about your first date. This came up.

Yeah, we had an argument. if something was East or West from where we were. And she was referring to it from where she lived. And I was referring to it from where I worked. So it was in the middle, so we were both correct. But yeah, we had a pretty, not a fight, but we had a disagreement on our first day. But we prevails and made it through.

And I'm better for her. But yeah, East and West, yeah, that's, yeah, because at work, I just, east and west is all I do. I don't like directions anymore. I just get told where to go. Hey, that's, I'm sure the track tells you. Yeah. Okay, Mount Rushmore.

Give me your Mount Rushmore and possible alien face of Simpsons Quotes. Simpsons Quotes. Wow. Yeah, we've never had that one before. Oh, number one's got to be Lenny when he's talking about making the modern super weapons to take down the, um, is the, um, is the, NRA episode when he's talking about taking down the modern super animals like the flying scroll

the electric eel that was one of the good ones like why he needs an AR that's a good one um me fail English that's impossible that's another good one from Ralph

um not really a quote but uh when Pucci was there and they just had the kind of the the slide that came up that said on his way back to his home plan I have to go now. Yes.

Yeah. Oh, wow. We can change it to moments if you think there's... No, I can all the freshen up your drink. When there's that incredibly British lady, when Monty Burns is building the casino, and he wants to make it British-themed. She's like, freshen up your drink,

and she's got her, the Union Jack. I don't know, we say it all the time, actually, who's my friends and I, so that one. And then an alien. face. Those Simpson quotes, hey, that's, that's the hard one. I don't know. I'm just going to go with the standard Mount Rushmore of the four there.

So I can come up with. What's the funniest Bart calling Moe with the fake name, you think? Oh, probably Hugh Jazz, I'd think. Yeah, Hugh Jazz is a good one. Yeah. I've been, I say my glasses a lot. My glasses. Yeah.

Yeah, that one comes out more than you would think it would. I've got one for the alien face. Go banana. Go banana. Yep. Yep. Ralph. I got to go.

My damn weiner kids are here. Yeah. Or a lousy smart weather. Lousy smart weather, yeah. We are not weaners. Then why are you dressed like that? Pam won't be able to answer, but Joey might have insight on social media. Like I see I see like funny reels with family guy.

the time, but I don't think I've ever seen, or very seldom see a Simpsons, like, real, like, pop up on Instagram or anything, like, almost ever. But I don't know if it's just not as relevant with the younger guys, or what? I might be able to give you to, like, off the top of my head reasons for that. Simpson's shit posting is far more prevalent than Simpson's clips. it's where they will take Simpsons there's one

the liver and onions guy where they will take the liver and onions guy going liver and onions licking his lips but they'll put it on every character

for every scene and it's like that's Simpson's shit posting because they're tapping into the near nostalgia of remembering everything family guy is I want to say

like it holds a record for the most jokes in a single minute so it makes for shorter, funnier, less context clips. Yeah. Simpsons,

something funny. Simpsons, what was really good about it is it was really intelligent. And some of these jokes are very funny, but there were also jokes that, like,

relied on you knowing things, but you didn't have to know those things to know the joke. So there is a series of those that, like, it just wouldn't relay into real or TikTok culture. Oh, Cam's gone

Oh, hold on, there we go Yeah All right So you pound mouse You passed Mount Rushmore What did you pound a mouse What do you pound a mouse? You pounded mouse rushmore

Just fucking That's some good beans That's some good beans All right, I'm gonna hit him With some affiliates then I think that's where we're at So Barbell Rescue Home GymCon

Freedom Fitness Equipment And Apparel from the Strength Co Big Cam at Barbell Rescue Always doing good things I see him there's so many barbell rescue brushes out there, you know, code him paid, please. I mean, Massonomics has a code, but, you know, we brought you, we brought you barbell rescue brush first. So go ahead and just keep supporting us. We did a contest around it.

We did. I mean, I met Kim in person and, like, he talked me in the buying one. I was like, I don't want the stupid fucking product. I got enough $20 items everywhere, whatever. I'm not paying $40 for a goddamn brush and talks to a dude for half hour and shot the shit. We've been good buddies for three or four years ever since. Home GymCon, just got Evolution Athletics, whatever Brian Shaw's company is is going to be there. So, like, Brian Shaw will literally be at Home GymCon with his booth.

And that'll be really cool. People can actually get a chance to meet Brian Shaw and just, I can actually attest that, a test. Yeah, not D-Test, a test. Stephanie got me a new grip shirt and she got the Evolution Athletic ones because she knows I don't like the server. just how gaudy it looks and uh i have one that's kind of plain right already but it's not super effective so this one actually has a grip on the inside too which other companies i think have that as well but the evolution one it's just a very well done grip shirt and it's at first i was kind of oh why did you get me this i hate it has a big big stupid fucking triangle in the front and

but i'm like oh well it is like a game changer on its actual uh like ability to um help lift i guess if you will um compared to what i had so very much a big fan of that so come meet Brian Shaw and all the other crew at home gymcon. Ashton's got that flooring at Freedom Fitness and then Big Grant, the OK podcast, you know, go get some merch from him. All right. Okay. Underrated.

Is that a game you're familiar with Cam? You want to let everybody know how we play that? I have heard of it before. Things that are underrated, you're generally good. And being unpaid is bad. That's fair. Unpaid or underrated meal kits. Mill kits?

They are unpaid. is that like where you like order say hey I want to be lazy tonight and not go shopping like people like is it like I see ads for it I guess well what is a milk kit I guess yeah essentially it's a box that has all the ingredients you go buy at the store for a third of the price all individually packaged so yet the time you spend opening it up and cutting everything out of like the plastic that it comes in you could have just gone to the store by then like it's individually packed parsley and individually packed parsley and individually packed like potatoes and everything.

They're all, it's a huge waste of plastic. Well, good thing you guys have unlimited recycling. Well, we do have unlimited recycling. That helps. That's the only good thing about it. But yeah, those things are quite unpaid. They come with instructions on how to cook.

Yeah. Because people don't know the internet exists. Yeah. Despite probably using the internet to sign up for this meal kit. Yeah. Unpaid or underrated Flavored fizzy water Flavored fizzy water

Sparkling water Yeah sparkling water I might get kicked out of crew for this But it is it's very unpaid If it had an actual taste to it Yeah I'll just see myself out But if it had an actual taste to it

Again I'd be more interesting Sorry I had to So have you tried the liquid Like we talk about all the time The liquid death plane Or it's just uh, which,

no, I've had all the bubblies, like my wife loves the bubblies, and I've tried them all, but it just feels like you put water in a can after the actual drink was already in there. Yeah. Like you drink it and then you fill it up again.

You're more of like a juice guy or a soda guy or just regular water and just regular water. Coffee and regular water. That's about it. I even have, uh, like the protein is unflavored and unsweetened. So,

pretty just, uh, not even vanilla, just basic. Um, all right. Well, speaking of something,

that's not going to be vanilla or basic, and this is something you wanted me to ask, so no one get on my dick about it. Tug jobs from the old lady. Yeah. Well, we were, I was in the backyard. This is going to sound real bad, but I was working out doing,

doing hublifts, doing some grip work. And then she comes home from her, and she's like, what are you doing? Like, oh, just doing some hublifts. She's like, oh, what's that? I showed her.

And then first thing she does, she just immediately picks up to 25. like the 25 pound international deep dish, hub lifts that, no problem. 35, she just comes in, puts on a bit of chalk, picks that out of, no problem.

And then we keep batting more weight and she's doing like 45 pounds. Damn. So at the same time, my friend, my friend Joe comes over. Is that what are you guys doing? Like, hey, Joe,

you want to see why Daniel doesn't give, uh, Hs? He's like, uh, I guess so. So she should break it right off, hey?

Yeah, she should break it right off. in university she was she was a rower so they're used to holding on to the road that's how she explains it at least is that they're used to holding onto the wet whores so you need a good grip strength

to hold on to the wet what? I don't know I know what you said but Dee if you're listening I'm sorry it wasn't me. Yeah I he told me to say it I that's on that is in the Nate if there's like a backlash like there is a digital proof

of him saying you should ask this or on all those lines. Or I was surprised no one said that. We should probably add that. Yeah. That is a really funny story, though. I wish I had,

I wish I had approached it differently and asked just about hublifting and then you could have elaborated. You could have told me that before you basically just told me to ask about. No, no, no. The surprise is what matters. Now I look like the asshole, but hey,

I was, that's a really funny story. And I'm glad how it organically came out. Okay. I guess it's my turn. Unpaid or underrated, Britney Spears's toxic video. Oh, that, that's underrated, even to this day, is quite, it's probably one of the defining moments of our entire generation, really.

Oh. Yeah. That's bold. Yeah, back in university, whenever it would come on TV, whoever just happened to be in the living room at the time would have to yell, it's on. And then all the other guys would come running just to watch the video. It was, it was interesting. It was groundbreaking, really. Yeah, things only went up from there, I guess.

Yeah, it was the early 2000. It was a different time. Unpaid or underrated, hot tubs. Hot tubs are great. I don't understand why people don't like them. Good for recovery, we can say, but when we got ours, well, before we got ours, my wife would say that she hated them. Because if you only have ever seen, like, public hot tubs at the public pools,

that they are quite disgusting. They're people soup. Yeah, they're just people soup. But if it's like a personal one that only like you or two of the three people use and you know what's kept clean, then they're really nice. I just like to sit in it. Have in the morning, just have coffee in the hot tub. That's really nice.

Mm-hmm. What about illegal hot tubs? Illegal hot tubs. I don't know about illegal hot tubs. I've never heard. There's definitely no legal hot tub here. Not breaking any sort of a Senate. connotation laws or anything here.

All right. We won't go any further. Sounds like Scansson as SSB over there. Unpaid or underrated. You know what? This is interesting. I got it. Sumo wrestling.

I don't think we talked about that when we met up. Oh, man. Sumo wrestling is probably the most interesting sport that I've ever seen in my entire life. Like there's no weight classes. So you've got a guy who's like 450 pounds. and 6'5 and he will get his ass kicked by like a guy

who's like 5 foot 5. It's the, yeah, you just have to watch it to kind of understand how it works. Like there's no weight classes and there's a tournament every two months and if you win more than half of your matches, you get promoted. And that's just the basis of it. Yeah, it's, uh, like there are some guys that are so dominant. Like there was one guy,

Hakuho, who's by far the best sumo wrestler ever, he won, I think, either 45 or 65 straight matches. So that's four tournaments in a row. He didn't loot. Wow. Yeah. And it's all technique. Like, there are guys that are just so much bigger than everybody else, and they will either just, like, steamroll all the way or get destroyed. It's pretty interesting. I don't know. You kind of have to watch it to understand it. I started watching it during the pandemic

because there was somebody on Twitch that was streaming it and I was working nights at that point so I get home at 4 in the morning and there's nothing else to watch so I'm like, oh, what's on Twitch? And then I was just streaming sumo wrestling. And yeah, it's really interesting. Doesn't have Instagram, but he's all over Twitch.

Yeah. There's a TV show. It's on Netflix, not, but I'm sure you can access it some other way called Sanctuary. And it's about a, guy who wants to become a sumo wrestler and everything you just talked about, I actually kind of already knew because of that show. Yeah, that show, it's more of like the personal part of it.

Because yeah, it's not, uh, it's not the best life to live. Like when you first start, you're the lowest person there. So like, you're cleaning the toilets and like people are beating the shit out of you all the time. And as you, like, you can't even wear certain footwear until you're of a certain rank. Yeah. So it's, I think, uh, didn't Martins, what, what's his YouTube, uh, series? Yeah, when he was doing the strength, and no one, he went to, yeah,

that way, he did a thing on that. And then, like, my, my familiarity with Sumo wrestling goes back to, like, I want to say the mid-90s, maybe there,

yeah, have it to be the mid-90s, just watching it on ESPN 2 at, like, 11 o'clock at night as I did during the summer, like, I think Aki-Bono,

Akebono, that was, like, the one name that could stick it. And, because he was, like, a, like, he was, like,

the big, like, six, eight, four-pound-pound guy. Yeah. big badass guy. I can't remember. I wish I could remember his name. Yeah, because Acubono was the first

non-Japanese Yokozuna, so like the highest rank, and he was from Hawaii, I think. Yeah, I think he actually ended up in WWB at some point, or WCW. He fought Big Show. Yeah, okay, so I didn't make that up in my head. Great. Okay, cool.

I knew something was there. Yeah, to go down a rabbit hole. So you passed unpaid and underrated. We can hear the episode. Thanks, good, yeah. Um, there is one thing, though, the amount of times people reference sumo without the word wrestling. I thought it was, I thought it was, I thought it was a lot of stuff about it. Like, sumo, sumo wrestling is much more entertaining to talk about than sumo.

Yeah, I ended up seeing the word wrestling somewhere later. And I was like, oh, this is going to be interesting. Oh, yeah, there it is at the end of unpaid. Good deal. Yeah. Yeah. I didn't see it earlier. That's funny. I mean, there's more we can ask, but we are also pushing two hours. Yeah. Let's let him hit us with some and we can rip it up. sure what you got for us can all right you want some some questions or some games because we got we got some of each yes do do one of each or maybe and dealer's choice um all right so you each have your own home gym now what if

you had an unlimited home gym like everything you could possibly want and it was always clean but the only caveat was whatever you wanted to do that day someone already had that equipment And that you weren't able to do what you wanted to do. So, like, if you were at work and you're like, today's log day, I'm going to go home, I'm going to do log, and you get to your private gym, but there's someone on your log, and you couldn't do log the whole day. Would you do that in exchange for, like, a private gym with everything that you ever wanted? But you couldn't do the thing that you wanted.

That's, I'm like, I'm blood-boiling, just thinking about that. No. That's why I have a home gym. Yeah. Because, like, there's the whole, like, well, because, like, the caveat, like, the caveat, I'd be like, oh, I, I, I, I, I'm familiar with working in. But if you're saying, like, I can't, like, I can't work in with a guy because he's just, fuck you, this is mine, but it's my, no.

Because then you have the whole element of, like, unwanted people. Like, I love having people in my house, but only when I want them. So, like, the whole unwanted person in my home, then that's a whole thing, too. Yeah, no, like, I don't, I have everything I need more or less than having nicer shit, having nicer shit, but then not being able to use the one. Like, I, the person that would say, yes, it would be someone that never trains for a specific event and doesn't follow programming. Like, if you don't have programming, you don't have a coach, you don't really care what you do day to day,

you'd be a no-brainer to take the big gym and just to not be able to do the one thing you thought about that day. But like, no, I have fucking programming and coaching and shit and train for meets. That sounds fucking annoying as shit. I guess you could game the system and be like, well, it's Monday is the day I'm supposed to bench press, but then you can just fake bench press on Tuesday. Oh, no, the gym would know that. It would know. Yeah, so if you can't, if you can't game it and cheat it,

then, you know, you have to fucking, for sure, just have the gym that you have already and do whatever the fuck you want, 24-7. I feel is the only logical answer for anyone that is competitive in anything. Okay. Well, I guess Joe, he's going to the bathroom. So I've got another one for you here, Keith. Yeah.

This is a game that I totally made it myself and didn't steal from anybody else. But it's called What Ways Less? So your total of mild yorks, according to the spreadsheet that you posted a couple days ago in Discord. Or the no wine cellar filled wall to wall with one layer of cats. Ooh. So 700 square feet of cats or all of your mildiorks, what weighs less? No, the cats weigh less for sure. They have to.

By like a dramatic amount. Because like, oh, though, that's 7. hunt. I have a lot of fucking weight. But only the mill do you are. Yeah, no, but even that. I guess I'm trying to look at it as like if I just laid all my plates down, which I guess isn't the best way to do it because it's,

it's what weighs more, not like the circumference of the area. But a cat weighs like, so I say the average cats, eight to ten, eight to twelve pounds. We call it a ten pound cat. 700 square feet at fucking, but cats are, oh man, there could be a lot of cats though. So for like a...

That's how many cats? Maybe the cats do weigh more. I'm gonna... I think I'm wrong, but I'm gonna say the cats weigh more. Okay. Well, we're playing which weighs less? Yeah, so I have less York weights than I would. That is correct.

Because the, from what I found, the average American house cat is 8 by 18. So that's about one square foot and weighs nine pounds. So that's 6,300 pounds of cats compared to your 4,300 pounds of milled yorks. Yeah, I, that's just say, I'm, like, thinking of, like, that many cats packed in, like, sardines. It's so sad because, like, my cats, like, sprawl out and lay everywhere. I was just, I was just fucking playing with the cat. Well, no, because, like, in, like, that's, like, the, ironically, like, my one cat, she doesn't, like, she's not super cuddly upstairs. But, like, if I'm, like, laying on the yoga mat or laying on the, uh, the, the area downstairs where it's not hard mat, mats, like, she'll just come over and just plop next to me and then just want belly rubs and stuff.

And, like, I don't get that upstairs from her. So, like, and, like, she's just enormously. spread out down there. So, but yeah, that's a lot of cats. That's, it's intriguing. I'm glad you came

with that game all by yourself. That's really fun. Yeah, I thought about, I also thought of another original game for Joey as well. Mm-hmm. Since Joey,

you like beans so much. Mm-hmm. If you ate one can of beans every day for a year, would that weigh less than your push-pull total from the Lift Hard Live Easy 2? I thought I did full power

at the Lyftard Live Easy 2. Yeah, but to make it closer, I just picked the... Oh, okay. no no my my bench was trash bench is trash the average

American can of beans is 22 ounces sorry too many people talking go ahead Keith oh no I was just he's trying to do the math he's trying to rain man it but you put the answer go the answer is the

one can of beans a day weighs less than your pushbowl total hell yeah yep so you could all right I've got, I have more questions and more games, so. Keep going. We got a few minutes. All right. What do you want a game or more questions?

Well, just go back and go back and alternate because we did, we did a question and then a game. So we'll go a question again. Another question. All right. When did you realize you were actually strong? Oh, that, are we talking about since I started lifting or before? Like, what one thing in your mind that you did? You're like, oh, okay. Like, I'm strong.

deadlifting 405 maybe like oh this is the most generic answer but like like were you doing something at work can you pick something up then uh yeah okay so like i don't know i would have been this was like i wasn't even lifting at the time but i was working construction and i could like you know pick up a you know a full sheet of like you know three quarter inch plywood like it weighs nothing and did that you know all day every day for a long long time and then i would have these like summer help come on and like watching someone that like is in the military or something and like just on like, you know, a lot of different guys or maybe a couple years younger than me or something and like should be physically fit and like watching them struggle to fucking carry a sheet of plywood or sheet of drywall or something. So it's more watching other people struggle with shit that you can like do super, super easy. I guess that's when. Yeah, I think that's a good answer.

So there's there's two times in my life. The first time I worked in a warehouse job. I wasn't lifting, but I was like doing warehouse stuff, like picking up, putting down, putting it up, putting it down. And I don't, I'm going to try and describe this as delicately as possible. I was with my girlfriend at the time and we were doing some axe on a chair. And I was able to pick her up directly off the chair and move her to the bed. and she in the middle of it went no fucking way

so that would be the first time I'm killing Keith with that story the mental images that I can't get out of my head right now are fucking so disturbing yeah it was her no fucking way because I just I just picked her up and moved her across the room

like shit was nothing and then the other one would be it wasn't the time I realized I was strong I think it was the time I saw somebody else realize I was strong. And it was, I've told the story before about how my dad used to say,

you don't go to the gym to work out, you just go to socialize. And then we were cutting down a tree in the backyard and one tree fell on top of the other. And he was like, shit, we're going to have to get a tractor. And then I was like, the fuck we are.

And I picked up the tree on the bottom and moved it from the tree underneath, or like moved it out from the tree that had fell on to. top of it. And even he audibly was like, okay, I get it. And he never brought it up again. And I think that that was the time where somebody else realizing I was strong kind of made me go, yeah, I guess I am. For my size, right? Like, I'm not, not Superman or anything, but I'm a tiny guy who can lift weight that you don't think I can.

Okay, this is another game that I totally made up by myself. It's called supplements, real, or did I make them up? All right. Love it. First one is a pre-workout called pumpopotomous. Oh, that's real. It's too close to platypus, and they don't exist, so it's fake. It is fake.

A pre-workout called TriggerPoint. Real. Real. Yeah, that one's real. real. Testosterone booster called Magnum Thrust.

Real. Fake. Unfortunately real. Oh. Pre-workout called woke A.F. I use it. Oh, okay.

That was real. Is it saying like you're awake? Yeah, it's awake. It's fucked up. It's too close to like political stuff, I think nowadays.

Like, what the one wants to say woke? Maybe it is, but it's made by bucked up. I have two different versions. I have the caffeinated and non-caffeinated version. You have the America Rocket Pop flavor? Fuck that.

That was the one that I found. No, God, no. I have pink lemonade like a man. Pre-workout slash fat burner called Superhuman Burn Cherry Popper. That's so stupid. It has to be real. Yeah, there's no way that... That can't be fake.

Yeah, that's real. Testosteronean cheese. it's a test booster. Fake. I hope that's got it. I hope that's fake. Yeah, that's fake.

Crea tween, which is creotene specifically made for your tween. I will burn. I will, I will fucking fuck a sandwich and eat it if that's real. That's got to be. Like,

I hope not because like, I just, I like, I have a lasting memory of like being on the freshman football team and the varsity coach coming down and basically yelling at us because like some of the guys were taking Creighting.

teen because some of the seniors on the team were and they were like, no, just fucking like eat your food and fucking like lift weights and you'll be fine. Like don't do the supplement bullshit. So I'm going to hope that there's nobody fucking marketing the goddamn tweens. Yeah, it's fake. And then the last one. I really didn't want to eat that sandwich. Last run is a test booster called Beyond Raw DTF. And the ETF stands for dynamic testosterone formula. No, it doesn't. But that's real. Sure. Yeah, it's real. Yeah. Okay, I'm back.

Okay. One more question, and then that's it. All right. What was your original strength goals? Like, when you first started working out, you're like, I'll be happy if I can do blank. Oh, geez. For me, it was just joining the gym to lose weight at the time.

Um, my wife and I just needed to, we had both just turned 30. I think we had went out to Golden Corral for Mother's Day or something and we're both just like not happy with our weights. And it was just join a gym to, you know, get a personal trainer, do fitness classes to use the pool just for general fitness for the first year or so before we realized that like strength training was more fun and relevant in our lives. Um, yeah. I mean, there's a lot of things that led into me doing what I do. I would say, and this is, I said three-plate deadlift is when I would stop. And we saw where that went. So, yeah, no, no, three plates, a guy my size and age and height.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I can pull off three plates. I'm strong enough. Yeah. That's right up there with, I think I have everything I need for my home gym. Yeah, I don't need to buy anything else. Yeah, yeah. I'm strong enough now. it's okay.

All right. We appreciate that, Cam. That was probably one of them, does the Mount, uh, I would say Mount, right, it's either on the Mount Rushmore or at least the top 140,

uh, like, you know, guest catered questions for us somewhere, somewhere in that range. Well, we really do appreciate it. Yeah,

really do appreciate when people put the, put the effort in and put the work in for us because, you know, I was, wouldn't say hesitant, but I'm like, you know, I hadn't had a chance to actually meet you in person like Joey.

Not, not, you know, a lot of the conversation you have with crew is just like reacting people's stories and like little side conversations on Instagram and chats and stuff and uh so not really having a whole lot of that with you was like oh but then like every step of the way like you get it you listen to the episodes you listen to the podcast like that's pretty cool uh so sharing this and i don't think i shared this with you cam it was actually kind of terrifying to come meet you because i did not know

anything about you. And if this is not worthy of a sponsor read, I don't know what is. It's only because you were crew where I was just like, yeah, I'm going to go to this guy's house and hope he's not a killer. Because if it had been like off Instagram and you were like, oh, just come on over, I probably would have been like, no. But because you're in crew and you did it over Discord and everything, I just felt 100% safe.

And yeah, so it's kind of one of those like we're not sure. but the fact that people are crude, like, just really, you know, and then to get out there and you're like, yeah, I listen to every episode. I, yeah, so I knew it was going to be good. I knew this was going to be a fun episode. I had no hesitance walking in. Oh, that, and we knew each other's wise before we met her each other. So, that's weird. I think I've told that on here before.

Yeah, didn't you were. I met Danielle at the Creed concert. Then you came to my house when I wasn't here. Is that when Morgan dressed up as... Oh no, that wasn't... You weren't the one that like Morgan dressed up as you or something, right? That was a different crew. No, she does that every time a crew person comes over.

But that's the one she wore the wrong again, Joey shirt. Yeah, she wore that one. The other one is when I think Kegan came over. She dressed up as me. Well, I think we did it, boys. That was a podcast. I just, it's so funny. I'm literally looking at hand jobs fucking crossed out on the screen right now.

I think I might be a first for this one. That was really good. Big Cam one more time. Where are they going to find you on Discord? Just Big Cam on Discord. That sounds about it. And your username is like GF, Y, GFK, GF something. Oh, yeah, GRV, LGD.

That was back from Gravel God, but spelling it without any vowels. Yeah, that's how... It makes finding you real fun. He'll be impossible to find. So find Big Cam with a lift, live easy this summer. Are you flying in?

They're not flying in. Steve and driving, right? No. The flight's already been changed twice, but I've been told that's pretty standard. Oh, yeah. Like, be prepared to not know

where you're going until the day before. And even then, be prepared to wait. Big Joey, where you at? Joey underscore Malesco, M-E-C-Z-K-O on the Instagrams. Instagram,

unpaid and underrated podcast, website, Unpaid InternPodcast.com. That is the website brought to you by the creator of Tate Sounds and other awesome websites, I'm sure. We got a YouTube and I'm Keatnikat 73 on Instagram. More importantly, go follow my Orange Gym, the no wine cellar. Until then, see you next Tuesday.

We randomly, so some of the, yes. So Instagram is the social media platform and stories are these things. Little images show up for 24 hours. You know, they can be videos, they can be memes, they can be pictures, they can be, I can get in there and type stuff out with typos. Well, to be fair, I have posted one picture on Instagram. We did bring that up, and I thought about it. I was waiting for the right time.

But, like, technically, that was, like, the biggest work around in Hall of Fame history. Did you create one and then fucking delete it immediately? No. No. I put, the poster was that. The picture was posted to my account. He hit Enter or something. Yeah, he hit post.

Yeah. Yeah. that. And we were like, this has to count. The Tanner, I mean, did Tanner actually acknowledge that? Yeah, Tanner approved it. Yeah. Good, good, good. Yeah. I vaguely remember that whole thing. That was actually really funny. Well done. That was, that was all Cam's idea. That is, that is a good, that was a good. So being eight for only a couple years in and

taking a little detour there, that's, that's, that's, and not being on social media. That's impressive. Yeah. So you're going to be. Where's the old card here? Is he's eight, nine. So you're going to pick up, you're going to pick up three in Aberdeen? Yeah, it'll be at the 12. 11. Oh,

yeah, with two years. So you are going to, so did you let Tanner know you're going to need a Hall of Fame Cup this summer? I haven't talked to him

about it specifically, but I'm sure I'll see him at some point. Yeah, I'm sure he'll post something about it. Yeah, it'll be like that one scene where it's like, oh yeah, you made it? Let me just go to the back

and get your special cup and you're just going to pull out one of the hundreds of cups he has. Yeah. He's still sitting on my jacket. He knows it's all. He's got it ready, so.

Hong Kong.
