Welcome back to unpaid and underrated. We've got special guest here, Big Jake from Home GymCon and Garage Gym Experiment. We're going to do a little quick chat here about Home GymCon, 2026, try to get anybody on the fence about getting those tickets and get them to pull that trigger. Big Jake, this will be Home GymCon number four. How is what's, what is a new person or even a returning guest to look forward to in year four that might be a little different from the previous years? well first of all thanks for having me glad to be back on um year number four uh you know it's pretty much more of the same but larger you know uh i think going into year four um i don't i don't know exactly what to say other than there's about 140 companies um tickets are selling at about a

double of a rate. And then when it comes to like the actual floor, I think a lot of these companies who have come year after year after year, they've gotten better. They know how to do it. So I think we're in for like a really great scene down in Louisville. I'm excited. I don't know. I'd be curious to hear like what are you guys looking forward?

Obviously, Keith, I know you always say. it's the people. And I agree. I agree. It is the people. There's so many like-minded folks. Even if it's your first time and an event like this is just like on your radar is if it interests you, most likely you're just going to find yourself in a place with a lot of similar people. That all sounds good to me.

Yeah, I do need to make a better effort this year. Every year I come home and I'm kind of like, man, I had the opportunity to try a billion things and I tried like 10. And, you know, outside of just hanging out with my friends, I kind of just turned into that weekend. I do need to make more of a conscious effort to take advantage of what you've built with the bringing, you know, 150 companies together to bring, you know, their flagship items. So I think everyone, you're going to get overwhelmed with how many people are there. But it just, it isn't being such a great weekend. But, you know, I don't want to necessarily lean too hard. one way or the other, I guess. I'm going to try to be more neutral this year and take everything in while

still having the boys weekend. That's kind of my plan. But I'm looking forward to. I think one of the stats I heard you say on the podcast with Mike this week was just two or three companies equals the entire floor print footprint of what year one was. That's wild to me. So that's kudos to you for keeping this thing going. I know it might have looked, you know, it might not have always been like, man, are we going to, am I going to be able to keep powering through with this? It's like I'm investing a lot of time and money and, you know, you're four, it's going to be well over, whatever the mathematical equation is, but you're significantly bigger and growing, so we're happy to see that. Big Sean, have you, did you go to Home JimCon last year?

This is my first one. Okay. Well, what are you, are you looking forward? What's, what's something that, you know, do you have any questions for Jake or what are you looking forward to the most about home gymcon? Probably the thing I'm looking forward. to the most is the people. I've been talking with, ever since I started doing like reviews and such in, like December or so, I've been talking ad nauseum with carp

and being able to like going to be able to meet carp in person and we're going to be working together a bunch, both on the media team, doing an AMA with Joe Gray. And like the people first, and then the second just taking everything in I mean, there are so many companies that I love their products and being able to meet the people behind the products, which I tend to focus on. Like, it's just going to be like my jaw is going to drop.

I'm sure once I enter in the convention center and see everything. That'll be good. So Jake, just kind of, so if anyone's, I'm assuming most people listening have kind of had the chance to look it up, but say you are listening to this because we get people all the time that ask us questions that have been written on the, wall since day one and we get questions just the other day. It's got, hey, what's what's the discount code for unpaid underrated? I'm like, oh, okay, I guess you don't know. So for

the people that might not pay attention to everything, when is home gymcon, what days of the weeks are running, you know, just kind of ballpark that, just so they have an idea and what, I just explain what home gymcon is brief. I mean, we know what, we don't know what it is. I'm just trying to, I don't know, I'm trying to pitch

it to the people that might not and then I don't know if you want to touch on any of the competitions try to get you know if there's anyone on the fence about signing up for a competition why shouldn't why should they what's available yeah so yeah just home gymcon year number four will be in Louisville in six weeks so it's July 30th through August 1st I would say for anybody who is planning the trip and to I feel for a day or do you want to make like a boy's trip out of it and meet with all of your crew?

I would I would just go into it and say Thursday will be a little bit slower. So for anybody who was there last year, Thursday will look like Friday of last year. Friday will look like the Saturday from last year. And then Saturday will be a pretty busy day. We're seeing a lot of tickets, Saturday tickets. And then, so, you know, there's a number of different ways that you can make the trip. That Thursday, Friday, those are going to be pretty, I don't want to say intimate because they'll still be relatively busy.

But, you know, a lot of time on those days to have fun with your friends and also get to test out a lot of different equipment, whether it be barbells, prototypes, new strength machines. you have the ability to check out, if you're on the market for a couple different strength machines, for example, you have the ability to test out 10 different leg curle leg extensions, multiple different leg presses from different brands and different budgets. So it's really the only opportunity for you to actually try before you buy, unless you're going to go to a single showroom or you're going to go to a retail store, which has a bunch of outdated stuff anyways.

but home gym con will have it all there for you. And like, I try not to pitch too much on like the benefits of going as just a home gym owner. It's really just like fun. Like there's, it's a lot of fun to just go in and meet a bunch of people. A lot of people might not know anybody in the community. But I still think like most, it's a really down-to-earth crowd. and you might just find people to like random people you have met online or you've stumbled across and get into five hour long conversations with them.

That seems to be how it goes. You just get stuck. So and then I would just like to say, you know, Keith's been around since year number one. He mentioned, um, year one, was the size of the two largest booths this year combined. We have about 140 booths. The event has doubled and triple in size just about each year or each year. And it really does have quite a big impact on the industry as a whole.

And I think it's going to continue to do that. It's, you know, it brings the community together. All these companies come and they see what everyone else is doing. they're motivated to better stuff. We see a lot of different partitions. We have like eight different competitions, strong manpower lifting, grip strength. There are ones that maybe like your crowd might be interested in.

And there's usually a bunch of prizes. I personally give, I'm given $12,000 this year to distribute. And there should be quite a bit more prizes. So, yeah, if you're, you have to sign up for these competitions, guys. So you sign up. That's a mathematical, mathematical, decent chance that you're going to win some prizes. For real, yeah.

So. And then Brian Shaw is going to be there. That's pretty cool. I forgot about that. Yeah, because he's running Evolution Athletics, right, is his company. Yeah, he's bringing. Yeah, he's bringing. supplements and some programming gear, I'm guessing.

Yeah, evolution. He's got a supplement company. and I think they'll probably promote their new app. They have a new app. So there's a number of different business reasons for him to come. And I think he'll just personally like it because he's a home gym guy. Oh, yeah. He'll nerd out for sure.

I can't imagine he wouldn't. So that'll be cool. And I heard the gym radar guys are going to be there. So now's our chance. Are they? Yeah, we might be able to get a peek behind the curtain and figure out who those guys really are. Yeah, they actually have a booth right next to the massonomics booth. What are the odds?

That's cool. So we'll be able to hang out with them. It would be interesting. And then I heard on a recent massonomics podcast that they're expecting about a hundred crew, which is just insane. I think it was somewhere between $100,000 and $4,000, I think, was the exact number. But like, legitimately, like, it could be a couple. Like, it could be 200.

Like, it's like, because there's so many people that you don't realize our supporting members too. That like you just, I mean, out of the fucking vendors alone, there's like 15 of them that are supporting members, which is wild. They're just not active, right? Damn, Nera doesn't at least, I think. So, uh, that's, that's cool in itself.

So yeah, I think there'll be a huge massanomics presence. There'll be a huge Jim Radar presence. There'll be a huge massonomic supporting membership presence. And then all your other, like, so like, so many of us are in different nations. Yeah. Oh, God. I, I don't be there's going to be like 30 X past guest for

sure. I won't be there this year, but it is definitely one of the ones that's on my radar to finally travel to. Um, like this year's a bit of a struggle for me, but, um, also if I do come, I'm not telling anybody. It'll be very funny. I am going to say it won't be this year, but then I think one year, you're just going to look up and see me and be like, what the fuck? Not to put you on the spot, but I'm assuming, is there a date set for 2027 or some ballpark dates? there is i actually recently booked louisville again um july 29th through july 31st okay that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's is that one week later then or is it the same weekend and then what we're doing this year i'm trying it's like one it's like the same weekend but like a day earlier okay so so

so so if we're hopefully mess i don't know i don't see lift hard lewis maybe if they could shift a week up that would be the worst because now that i don't know i don't know i don't see lift hard lewisie because now that i don't and theirs isn't. I know you're not, it's not malicious on either people's behalf. It's just, it sure happens to be the two things that I spend about $4,000 to go to or fucking two weeks apart every week every year. I know. I dig it. I gave them a little bit of a heads up. Oh, I have no idea if they'll make any sort of modification. Uh, it's all right. I'll shut up to both of them, no matter what, I'm sure. So it'll be fun either way. But yeah, I'm excited. It's going to be a blast. I'm proud of what you've built and what we built as

what you've built, what you started, and I think the community has picked it up and ran with it and haven't let it go. You got a lot of loyal supporters out there, and that's been really cool to see. I'm sure a lot of people are just coming to what it benefits them as as being able to either do their own content creation or just, you know, what it was made for to try equipment,

but it doesn't really matter why they're coming. There's just the numbers keep rising, and that means it's going to keep being around, and we get to keep coming and having cool times with our friends, and that's what I'm excited for. And I just wanted to, you know, I can talk about it every week on here, but it's nice to get you on.

I was able to push, you know, I want people that might have been on the fence that are two or three hours away to be like, man, can I release, you know, I was just talking to someone yesterday, one of our friends who lives in Cincinnati and he was, or, yeah, he's Cincinnati. So he was like two hours away, I think.

And he was like, should I come down for like just a day? And I'm like, yeah, you should come down. Like, you'd be crazy not to. When you're that close, it's like, I mean, I would, I would suggest if you're four hours away, you could still make a day trip out of it.

it would just be a really, really long day. Like, if you can't justify the hotel and don't want to do that, that's fine. Like, the, the, the times vary each day, but it doesn't go past, I think Friday's a little bit later just because the way it starts because it's more of an evening thing. But the Friday, Saturday, it's basically like 10 to 5 or is, right? Saturday, 10 to 5. And, yeah, that's one of the reasons why Louisville was chosen. There's a lot of different reasons. but it's it really is within like a six, seven hour driving distance for like 40, 50% of the country.

So as, you know, I get, I probably got 30 different requests this year telling me it should be here. Oh, yeah. In the city that's 10 minutes from them. And they're like, when is home Jim Conn, San Antonio happening? And I'm like, you don't understand what we're going here. Like, like, like, when's Canada happen? that happening. It's a 10-hour drive for me.

Yeah. It's a 10-hour drive for me. My buddy in Rochester is driving down with his brother. And I was like, oh, man, I wish I had known you six months ago. When I booked my flights, I could have potentially just been like, oh, yeah, I'll ride down with you. But I don't want to do a 10-hour drive by myself. Again, not after last year. But all right.

Anyone, probably wrap this up. Anyone have anything for Jake? Yeah. How many Voltras can I try while I'm there? They're not coming. Oh, I know. I know. I know.

And I'm actually, like, I try not to be the, like, Keith get, like, mad about kind of stuff. But that is fucking stupid, isn't it? Like, that is stupid on their part. I threw some shade at that in one of the, in the home gym discord. And I got attacked by all the vulture fanboys that are like, oh, they love the community. And I'm like, they could literally spend a couple grand, like, buy a shitty rack and come to home. Like, they could do such a low effort booth and, like, show off the product. It makes no sense.

Jake, I understand why you're being quiet, just as you know, like, I always thought I'm so sure with the mic. Me and Keith will be your little bulldogs here. I think, I think from an outside looking in, it's like, it's a no-brainer for them to be there. They would absolutely crush it. Like, the ROI for them at home gymcon would be insane. I don't know exactly why they aren't going. But it's not like for most of these companies, if you like truly put together a good booth and you, you know,

you have a good product, like a combination of both, you are going to do well. It's no longer really an event that you should lose money. you have a good product, you do well. So, so, yeah, I don't, I don't know. They, like, they're, they're literally the number one company that people request. Yeah. They're like, um, did you talk to them?

Like, are they real people or are they just like drop shipping Chinese shit at this point? Yeah, I had a phone call with them and like they, there was a zero percent chance they were going to come. That's so wild. That's so wild. 10 to be profitable probably too. And I'm not like I'm not even coming to the event and even I recognize how important this event is to the home gym community. Like I, I am completely aware of how amazing that has to be for the people that can make it and the companies that can be there to be like, look, get this in your hands right now. And Voltra, like they're not cheap, right?

Like it's not in every home gym, right? and for them to be like, yeah, we're not coming. Like, okay, it's kind of their loss. To be honest with you, it's kind of their loss. They're super lucky because there'll be a couple companies that literally sell mounts and we'll have a vote. Maybe. I mean, last year there were two. So like I don't want to say guarantee that, but well, Jake might, but like there's going to be companies that have Vultras to show off their mounts.

So there will, sorry, cutting off. There were literally like five Voltras there last year. but one thing I will know is speedience is bringing their their new Voltra competitor and I think it's a really good opportunity That would be crazy Vulture could have came and actually like kind of

stomped on them or tried to and been like oh we're going to overwhelm the community with like being a I don't think people understand how important maybe it's not important to like 80% of the people that buy shit but like the 20% of us that like come and do shit like this No no no it's very important

I know exactly what you're doing like Yeah it's so valuable matter. Like, we shit on people that shit on our community, like shit on the community, like, shit on the community. We're going to shit back on you by not supporting you. Like, no matter how good your product is. The grip shirt I just bought Keith. I literally bought it because I've met them for time.

There you go. And they've been to powerlifting and strong man events that I have gone to. That is the reason they got my money. That makes sense to me. Right? And we're all. You know, I don't want to get too salesy, but it is, it's, it's, it is directed towards, you know, that smaller crowd. But that smaller crowd like you, Joey, you're telling people about your experience with them and your new grip shirt that you just bought.

And the word spreads. So, I mean, yeah, it's, I do, I, I do not really feel bad for people who, you know, who, who, who can make it to home gym. JimCon and then complain about not getting enough exposure. Yep. Yep. I'm also biased. I'm biased. I believe it's honest and unbiased, right? Yes, absolutely. Well, Jake, I appreciate you taking a few minutes to come talk to us.

We will get this out next week. Anything else in closing or where's the best place for someone to follow home gymcon or buy tickets or what's the best way to be part of your community? well it seems like it gets brought up on the massonomics podcast almost every week now so you can stay in touch with them but also homejimcon.com home gymcon on instagram there's a facebook group uh it's out there just search home gym con awesome all right and if you guys are listening to this and you're going to buy tickets code unpaid help save you a little bit of money and puts a little bit of uh you know just takes takes care of us on the back end and we appreciate that

Welcome, welcome back to episode 715 of unpaid and underrated, the podcast for crew, by crew, mocked by crew. And that's my intro. I am Big Joey. I am joined, as always, by Big Keith. Howdy, howdy. And we have special guest, Big John.

Hi. We can't see you waving. You have to talk. That's fine. Long time lurker, long time listener. First time calling. He's waving on the screen of this. This is a podcast.

People need to eat. What a podcast. He's from that new generation where only podcast exists on YouTube and they don't actually like... Podcasts are on Netflix now. Who asked for that? I'm not that young. Well, it was more just all the other, all the other... Mama told me I had a face for radio.

I did force gumbat work all day Okay I can't I can't not do it by like jutting my lower jaw out And it just helps so much I'll go put the door on the skid Keith went into dicks He was just running

Into dicks Yeah I have an overbite to actually like sit the bottom jaw out that doesn't feel great. Oh, man. Wait, your bottom jaw does poke out? That's an underbite. No.

Yeah. An overbite, I think, is, no. Is it? An overbite's like a bulldog where the upper jaw goes over the lower. Yeah, that's what I have. That's an overbite. What did I say I had?

You said you had a, uh, you said you had an under bite. Yeah, I have the opposite of that. Yeah, he isn't underpaid, underpaid bite. Yeah, yeah. A lot of years. Overbitten races. All right. Anybody drinking anything cool?

I hear ice over there. Another rambler finishing up some of that ramblers I got last week. For my special occasion, this is a Mitcher's rye. Ooh. Spicy. Rye. Is it Canadian rye or American rye? American rye.

You haven't had the Canadian stuff, have you? No. I haven't gotten much in the Canadian stuff. No, no, it's worth it. I am drinking a beer because I'm off tomorrow. And I just realized somebody put a fucking sticker on that. Me too. That's what I'm drinking.

Somebody put a piglet. Oh, your coozy. Somebody put a piglet on my coozy. Tell me your parent without telling me your parent. I don't make it in danger you get the can out. Well, it's piglet. It's not very hard. It's going to make it harder.

Yeah. What minimal grip you had on the outside is now gone because the sticker is going to be slipperier. If it was Winnie the poo, it'd pop right out. that's right more slippery slippery year which which which mental disorders

piglet's supposed to be 10 out of 10 he's anxiety yeah this okay yeah there's always I found that list today at work and it was like oh ER's depressed obviously Winnie the Pooh has an eating disorder

and a bunch of others was absolutely hilarious yeah yeah yeah yeah we were talking about that at work we're actually trying to guess without looking it up because I know the internet has all the answers, but it's way more fun to guess. Anybody wearing anything cool?

Oh, bench heavy shirt in honor of not binging with a barbell in a long, long time. Got some, uh, prototype merch. Very nice. A play around with. Learn his own swag. Yeah. He's got Sam,

he's got Sam Adams on it. It does have a Sam Adams on it. But it's colonial as shit. Uh, I have, uh, yeah, buddy. nice buddy light duh well I had my 41st birthday last weekend

had some friends over had a nice little party had some gatherings it was fun I met a new crew new local guy too which is kind of a weird experience like I've known him on disc on Instagram there for a bit because I think I found him on the crew map back when it was like on their actual the pre-Gim radar map

and we'd follow each other on Instagram like, you know, six months or a year ago, probably, and maybe six months ago. Whatever, but he finally was able to make it over for a lift. So that's kind of cool. Don't get to meet a lot of new crew that are like anywhere from the vast state of New York. So that's always fun. And got some cool presents. Stephanie got me a pair of those camera glasses and.

Boo! I like the idea doing some like strong man moving events and stuff with them and use that as content. But they're a little high. I'm literally only going to wear them. I got to walk around and interview people with them or anything. I'm not doing any POV porn or anything at the moment. So it's all just, what the fuck?

The other one drawback on him is like the camera, the lens is so high and it's not a super like tall visual screen. So it kind of like, I mean, it basically just catches you from like your waist up sort of. So like I don't know. I envisioned like seeing the farmer's handles or the keg or something as I'm running with it. And didn't really do that.

And such is life. But still a good time. Still fun. I ate jello cake for like four days straight and then finally threw away like the last like three pieces of it. But it was probably more like one piece, which is one one big piece. But I think I ate jello cake like twice a day for three days straight. It was amazing.

God, I was so sugared out by the, by Sunday night. I was just like, I'm going to throw this out. Like I don't want this. Like I was because I don't take a Monday off. So I was like,

I don't want to eat bad on Monday. I've eaten like shit for three days. Let me get back to reality. But I don't know, 40. Weird. Did you find... Did you find a restaurant that was open for lunch on Sunday?

Fuck you. We went out back. The world wants to know. Our listeners want to know. You and Jen can go sit on it. Here. Yo. Legitimately, though, what restaurant did you go to?

We all actually want to know. I said I went out back. You fuck. It was just easy. Stephanie, like, we were there. I think we were like home by like 1145 because we went out so early for lunch because that was like the big meal the day.

And it was like, all right. We're done for the day. So, somewhat anti-climactic, you know, birthday itself, but the whole weekend overall was enjoyable. Very good. I think we got another dinner. We got another dinner this week, but it's on Saturday.

So there's no, you know, there's no Sunday closing to worry about. I don't know if Jen was worried about it. A lot of places close on Sunday up for your EVE. Wow. If not Sunday, just weird hours. But yes, like a lot of the, a lot of the more fancy places might not have Sunday hours at all. Like, the two places I wanted to go to did not have Sunday hours at all.

or like I think one opened up at like 5 p.m. I'm like, well, I'm not going to a 5 p.m. Sunday dinner. Like I'm going to, I plan on like being on the couch and my underwear just playing video games the rest of the day. So no thank you. It's the best. That the ding, ding, think, ding priority. Oh, yeah, dude. Yeah.

If I sit around my underwear, I get weird questions asked to me. Yeah, I just wear small shorts that look like underwear. Yeah. Yeah, same here. transition update. Transitions are still fine, Jen. There's no problem with them. They work great. It's pretty cool to have sunglasses and then go to regular glasses and not have to carry two pairs, especially when you're at work. So winning. I did end up trading in my, the pair of glasses that, who I think it was, um, big mad out in Seattle, right? He did all the, the videos with me in black and white, like when I'd making all those memes and shit. Um, so those glasses, I really liked how they fit on my face, but they just ended up being too small. overall I felt because like the in they were rimless too. So I just really screwed up if I was trying to like look at my blind spot or something and then I could like I don't know. I was seeing too much not through the lenses.

So I ended up trading those back and I just had to pay like $40 difference for different lenses and got a slightly bigger pair. So give that a shot. And then my work glasses finally came in this day. Oh, that was my story a couple weeks ago. I think I was going to I was going to light up company because I ordered a pair of glasses through work. I get a free pair of safety glasses as long as I have a prescription, right? So got my glasses, had a very detailed, like order list to the lady that had to order it. Like, I want these.

They're on this page of the catalog. This is the serial number. They, I want them to be transitions. I acknowledge that you'll take $35 out of my paycheck to pay for the difference for the transitions, all in like a very simple straight email. Glasses come two weeks later. No, not transitions. Follow up with, oh, hey, how do we get this resolved?

Oh, that was a mistake. I'm sorry. There's nothing we can do about it. So then I'm just like, well, that's not the answer that's going to be allowed to happen. Like, I'm like working in the field. I don't really have time. Like I'm not trying to dick around on my phone all the time. So I was just like, I just took three screenshots, sent it to my supervisor.

And I was like, you can handle this because I'm not satisfied with this. And he thankfully was able to step up and deal with it because like I don't have time to deal with someone that works in an office like three states away that like doesn't know like I don't. Like I'm not going to have a pissing contest back and forth to someone. So. but thankfully my boss stepped up because I was like I was pretty heated and it took like a couple of that to get resolved too because he was like yeah I'm not sure if they'll be able to do anything and I'm like well someone will because like you're not you're not pawning these glasses off on me without the transitions that I ordered like if I had screwed up a hundred percent understand but you screwed up oh and she ended it with with with stay safe she's like she is a safety manager and I get it but I went back and looked at all her other emails and none of the other ones like like it's not just like an automated sign off of stay safe it was just like wait are you gaslighting? me now? Like, I'm so mad. Like, I was reading the email and I was just getting more furious. And I was like, this is not acceptable. But the end of the day, you know, everyone took care of what they had to do and I got the glasses I needed and it all worked out. But it was just like,

there was like a week or two there where I was just like, are they really going to railroad me over like a $100 pair of like safety glass? I think it ended up being like a, there's such a cheap like, you know, pair that they get a good deal. And it was like 150 bucks. And they were like debating on just not giving me what I ordered. So that's all resolved. I know no one really cares and it's not really a super entertaining update, but that's what's going on on my life lately. Glasses update 2026.

Yeah. Yep. Yep. And that's all I got. A big week for me. I got my five year sticker for the GCC. I skipped a few years because I never win and it just wasn't worth anything. And then I remember it.

I can just do silly lifts. So that's what I did this year. Got my thing tomorrow. Still not sure how it's going to go, but it's going to go. I'm doing a stone. lifting competition tomorrow. It's a three-hour drive. That's interesting. Ooh. Yeah.

Does it earlier in the morning, so you gotta leave? No, it's at 6 p.m. Which means I'm not going to be home until like 11 or midnight, which I'm not looking forward to. Yeah. Like a stone event, do they classify whether it's like a Hussafel or Dinnie? There are

dinnies. So there are Dinnies. You know, after talking to Scants, who's done this event before, and and seeing what the crew had to say, I'm not sold that the weights I was given are the weights I'm doing tomorrow. No, because... I'm very confused.

So I'm telling you, this message came directly from the guy organizing it. No way you're going to do an 80 pound if the open's doing 60. Unless it's a completely different object and it's a complete, if they're just like, hey, what the big guys are doing is something different? But also,

didn't you get yours from AI? No, what are you talking about? The screenshot you got. The screenshot of the, I just went to the website. but I think someone else had found it and shared it with me. I don't even remember.

And they don't list the novice anywhere. No, it's not. So I can't look this up at all. So I like, there's no way I'm doing 80 and the open. You are pissing in the wind tomorrow, bud. You'll have a good time though. Oh yeah.

I'm not. I think you're definitely capable of doing at least a few of the like, you're not going to zero everything. You might, you might, I mean, you shouldn't just honestly. And a lot of stuff too,

you should get partial points like the stone to shoulder or it's a press. No, you have a stone to shoulder right. So I have an atlas stone to shoulder. That's a. like 215 pounds. I got a buddy that's going to give me some tacky because he says that makes it a bit easier. I picked up a grip shirt.

I was... How do you like, well, so you've only done sandbags with us, but it's still sandbags in a grip shirt. Like, that's just as valuable as sandbag. That's why I put it on. That's why I went in the gym this week was to like, okay, if I have a grip shirt, how could I take advantage of it?

I like a grip shirt. Yeah, yeah. I'm not mad at it. But I definitely don't know how to use it to my full advantage yet. this is my first event with it. Uh, and then there is a stone press, which is apparently 135 or 170 pounds.

My inucks chuck bag. Uh, no, there's one of each from what. Oh, yeah, that's the, uh,

yeah, that's the, uh, yeah, the, uh, the, the, uh, the trumpt weight.

And I, can get that up onto my chest and start to press it, but then it folds. Mm. So if I can do 135 axle clean and press for, five reps, I'm fairly certain I'm going to get the 135 pound stone. So I'm not too worried about that one. Stone throwing is not a put, even though the guy called it a put, it doesn't have to come

off your shoulder. You can like, you can underhand it, you can throw it over your head, you can do whatever it is you can to get some distance on it, which is why I was like, okay. Just put it in a potato gun, you'll be good. Yeah, I am a potato gun. That would be a big potato gun. There would be a big potato gun. So I ended up, that's why.

scans if you're listening. That's why I was trying to put my 100 pound bag on my shoulder to throw it to see like how does this feel? How can I do this? Which is what I was trying to practice. The Denny Walk is again, it's also like the novice weights are weird. It's 215 or 213 one a hand and 193 the other hand. And it kind of seems weird for a novice to do almost 400 pounds on a Denny walk, right? So I'm going to, I'm going to try, but I don't have room to walk in my basement at all. So, like, we're gonna try. That's the one I'm, like, I can lift the weight,

I can hold the weight. I don't know if I can walk with the weight. I think you get a few feet. Just don't have your, just don't drop them on your toes. That's all that matters. Yeah, that almost did happen in the gym, which is why I was saying,

I don't have room to walk in the gym because those almost ended up on my toes. And then by the time you're listening to this, I will be master's completer. I have one, I have, yeah, without a jacket. but I have one episode left to catch up on the backlog. Nice.

No, don't need. What's the episode left? 250, Grant Broji. No, no, like,

who's the guest? Or is that a guest episode? Grant Broji. Oh, I didn't hear you. Okay. Yeah. Oh,

that's the last episode because I, I went and looked at the timeline from my first order. Then I went back and was like, okay, who do I remember? And it, Jessica Bettner was, I think,

252. And I know I listened to that episode. and then iTunes told me I listened to 151 so that means I only have to listen to grants because I know I didn't hear Grants first appearance so by the time I do my three hour drive tomorrow I will be good at the time. I don't know. You'll be in the car for six hours tomorrow and you're only going to have to listen to one episode. I know.

I got to figure something else out to listen to him. You could have knocked off half of it. Yeah. Knocked out a couple episodes. That's funny. Well, that's cool. That'll be, I just got to get you somewhere in person someday because I know Tanner's not going to

know you're Jackie. It could be like four years from now if you don't happen to make it back across the border. Like he's just not going to make a pretty firm line in the concrete. Oh, I know. Absolutely is. Yeah, yeah. And I, I've joked about it with him. Yeah, I've joked about it with him.

And no, it does have to be in person. But that's okay. I don't need my jacket to be a master's. There's nothing that says you need a jacket in your hand to be a master's completer. That works. Tanner's just keeping it warm with fire. Oh yeah protein parts

Well speaking of other things That have gotten completed lately It was me Yeah As soon as I said it I was like Can I turn this into a dick joke or a sex joke? But no

Big Nate over there Between doing this, that and the other And all the other fun stuff He keeps himself busy with And his side projects I think we've I've kind of jokingly called him out

On us needing to have some updates To this that or the other And the form We had a lot of back and forth And he, you know, he was like, hey, what do you want? What do you want? What do you want? And, you know, we're able to give him some information. And we retooled the, uh, the guest questionnaire to make it a little bit easier for

Joey and I, the way we import it, where we're not having to copy and paste it as much, which will be nice. And then also, uh, big Hogan and him got together and made a, uh, I think it was, I'm assuming it was mostly Nate, but I think Hogan, it will be to Hogan's benefit. Actually, more than anything, it'll be the guest to the crew's benefit because no one knows how to fucking listen to directions when Hogan asked them what to do. Uh, so it'll be. an actual crew card preview

template. So you can upload your photo to what the crew card will actually be because if anyone hasn't isn't aware of yet like the top and the bottom of the photos cut off with text. So if you send them a really zoomed-in fucking picture, it's just going to be whatever's in the middle of that zoomed-in picture. So

he's trying to do it so people he doesn't, you know, obviously he's trying to, this is a passion project for Hogan and he wants to limit having 17 DMs back and forth with 50 different people that uploaded the picture that he was explicitly told them not to essentially. So super cool.

It should be a good tool for everyone. So keep an eye out for that. And that is on our, so now if you're an upcoming guest and you get, which you might actually be able to go find it on yours too, because now that the thing has been updated, your form itself should have the new link to it. But there will be a preview for the card on everyone's,

uh, you and you questionnaire that we send the link out to. Oh yeah. Yeah. So, uh, for future guests, uh, Generally, when we book you, we have a little website that we can put your name and information into, and it will create two things.

It will create the questionnaire that you are expected to send to all of your friends and family. And it will also give you your own little website, which is your kind of, like what's your job? Onboarding page, essentially. Onboarding page, yeah, as our guest. People still don't read it, but it's the, everything is there. Yeah, it will give you what you need to know for tonight. it will give you what you need to know for after tonight. So when we do our stories, what song you want on your post,

and now it will include your crew card submission, which will be sent directly to Hogan. That means one particular thing. If you don't fill this out, the chances of you getting your crew card are small. It is unlikely that any of us are going to keep chasing people. It's on your onboarding website. Keep it on your radar.

Keep it on your radar. Mm-hmm. Okay. Anything, I don't really have anything else. This week's YouTube video. Was that big Matt Wallace over there out in downtown Chicago with Huck doing his big, big gym tour? He had a lot of shit. Like, he had a lot of vintage stuff.

He probably has like, I don't know. If you call that hip machine actually 40 grand, he's probably got a, you know, $80,000 to $100,000 gym maybe. let's say he might rival Jose There was a lot of equipment in there But then like the vintage stuff Like if you actually take like the top price Of what some of that vintage weights and stuff will go for You know it's a couple thousand dollars for certain plates

So that all adds up So I will It's more of a funny story And if Matt ever listens to this Then it'll be even funnier But so I had reached out to him The other day on Instagram

I don't even today actually I was like hey have you have you consumed much you and you I wouldn't mind getting yawned in the future. And his response was consumed, question mark, you mean buy your merch? And I was like, oh, that was all the answer I needed. It was like, that means you've never listened to a single episode. Yeah. Because you don't know what consumed means in this reference.

But, you know, he seemed motivated. He might get some episodes under his belt once I kind of explained to him. Because I don't think he understood the whole reference of like or the concept of you and you. I was able to like share like, no, like you're going to be at home gym con. We're going to be at home gym con. Like the whole point of this podcast initially originated from like, us, there are going to be a hundred of us meeting up in the middle of South Dakota, hey, we can throw a podcast together and introduce each other.

So three years later, we're still doing that. Just now we go to a lot more places than South Dakota. And it's so weird considering that Tanner has been mentioning us for the past year. Well, he knew us per se, like, because he knew we just dropped a shirt. Like, he got out of all that. It was solely the, the, the, me using the phrase, hey, have you consumed any, that, like, it, yes, you and he was on his radar, but the term consumption in reference to an audience.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. No, I get that, but I do find it every once in a while where somebody's like, oh, this to massonomics. And I'm like, oh, do you know unpaid and underrated? And they're like, no, what's that? And I'm like, then I don't think you listen to massonomics. Like, do you, do you watch their, do you just watch their tour videos?

Do you just watch, do you watch them on Instagram? And that's what you consider watching? Even the tour videos, we get mentioned. Oh, yeah. In almost all of them where somebody's like, and here's my unpaid and underrated banner. Like, they make a point of talking about us. I think there's a lot of people that want to be included in this cool thing we do, but not necessarily put the work in and

consume everything. Yeah, how are you going to hate from outside the club? It's all in or all out. But did you watch you in that video, Sean? I did. Or at least familiar with Sean's gym, I imagine. I did. Big Matt's, uh, say what?

Oh, yeah. Yeah, he just asked if you're familiar with Sean's gym and I was going to say, I probably, I think he's as soon as I said that. As soon as I said it. Yeah, yeah. So the damn, you know, we're. know what we're doing. We're talking about the mass YouTube video. Yeah,

that was an impressive gym. The amount of the pure amount of shit that he was able to fit in there is astounding. On top of like I was said, it might rival Big Jose's gym for equipment.

Just like, just on the hit press alone, they were saying like, what, he said like 40 grand. Well, yeah, that's when I threw out maybe it's $100,000. gym because if the hip press is worth 40 grand and several other things in that gym or well that's a few thousand dollars that's a few thousand dollars that's you a few thousand dollars times like 30 that's that's a lot of money yeah and that chain pullover oh that was an asmr

for me that that sounded so good i do like an uh that is one that's one like off the wall machine that i kind of miss from like a above public like like a good hammer strength plate loaded uh lap pullover one of my favorite like like just the way it hit your lats was like no other for me because it was like a stretch and a contraction. It was just a good, good lift. It's been such like a, that's sorry. It's like I've been talking to Gioni from Temple of Gaines quite a bunch and I was like, hey, is there any future of, you know, chain driven Temple of Gaines machines? He's like, fuck no.

They're heaviest shit. The shipping will be astronomical. Oh yeah, that would be already. And yeah, and they're just not, if you can find them, sure, but they're not going to be making them. And it's like, makes sense. And then you go to like HFA and Fibo and then there's tons of chain driven shit. Crazy, crazy. Well, that's all more commercially shit too, though.

So it makes sense. One thing that stood out in the video was Tanner was like, State of the Ark. Are they on the East Coast somewhere? And I'm like, man, you know the answer to this. when he did the New York tour State of the Arc is basically between me and Matt Seine. It's in Elba, New York, so call it right between Buffalo and Rochester.

Matt has a lap pull down and I got my bench press. But I also, like, I feel Tanner's pain. Like, you know how many people he's met? And like, obviously they've been podcast for 10 years and they've interviewed like 200 people. So that's a lot of people. But like just in the last couple years alone, you think we've met a lot of people. Like they've met everyone we've met,

but then like times it by, probably two because they've gone to all the things. Like, and people go to them. So it's like, and trying to put faces with names and location. And then adding Jim Radar to it now of like, who owns this company? Like who,

where's this company from? Like the levels of trying to remember shit. And it doesn't get any easier as you get older. I've, I think I've forgotten more people's names since we started this podcast and I've, like, I mean, obviously,

I, but like, I, like the first probably two years, I could tell you like almost in like, I could probably like close my eyes and like go in order of every person's ever been in my podcast. Now it's like,

fuck, has we interviewed this dude? Like, I'm like, I'm like 90% sure this guy's been on my podcast. But a quick glance, I was like, has he?

And I'm like, or is it just that he's scheduled? We've talked about it. So I don't know. Do you ever get that, Joey? Because I definitely sometimes have to think there for a second. Uh,

yeah, to an extent. I think they're like, I'm already bad with remembering humans. Um, so. Yeah. Yeah, like I, I, I, I, I don't have it quite as bad as Morgan, but, like, I just, as far as people go, I'm very bad at. Have we met? Like, I think, I remember at the first, lived hard, live easy. I walked up to a guy and was like, we met. He's like, yeah, last night. And I was like, a lot of generic white dudes here. So, you know, sorry, dude. Like, there's a lot of big, mussely dudes here that all kind of look similar. Like, they either look like me or they look like you. So, like, sorry.

man. Like, what was her name? Like Ms. Kwan from, from a mad TV. Oh, Mrs. Swan. He looks like a man. Yeah. He looked like a man.

Yeah. You look like a man. Sean, do you get a chance to watch, well, I know, not what? Yeah, I guess you, listen.

Your type would watch podcast. My type. What you mean? My type. The kind that waves on our podcast. Younger influencers that want to maximize the YouTube algorithm and all that jazz. Anyway, so last week's

week's Mastomac got his episode. Tell us what was it about. Tell us what you liked about it or what you didn't like about it and give it an old rating on a five scale. I like pretty much all the Mastanomic episodes. This one definitely had a lot more training talk in it. Talk about, I believe it was Flying Ryan in his Ben Choli program. Oh, yeah. Impressive to get a 10-pound PR.

on his bench press. I'm still chasing a, I'm still trying to get out of the poverty bench area. I'd love to hit 10 pounds under my PR. Yeah, that'd be real nice. I'd love to get back to my PR. That'd be dope. But it was,

it was a good episode. I'd probably, I'd probably give it five out of five. What are you lifted? Nice. Nice. Yes. Very good.

Yeah. Yeah. I definitely listen. to it, got through it. It does interrupt my backlog, which I find very funny because I will tell you, between episode 240 and 248, they're still talking about the same things. It is. No, I'm pretty sure the episode we listened to this week, like we've had that episode. Like, yeah, it's, it's so funny, the amount of, you can during anything and you'll get stronger. Like, yes, we've talked about this. Like, I'm listening to it and I'm going like, are they, didn't they just talk about this? And then

No, it was on this week's episode. It's very funny. It's going to be harder now, too, because you're so close to, like, when we all started listening four or five years ago, that it's like, oh, is this, is this, which one I'm listening to? That wasn't that much different back then. So, yeah, you're right. A lot of sets and reps talk.

The title topic, I think, was the least interesting part. Not that it wasn't interesting, but it was just such a short window. So I definitely enjoyed it. One of the cool things I'm noticing on my backlog journey is the supporting memberships are clearly starting to pop off for them right about this time. That makes sense. And I think I messaged Keith about this. I think it's really fun to hear the perks of being like at the beginning.

Like, oh, you sign up. There's a few perks. We might mail you something. We might mail you this. And then now we are a perk. Like we're literally listed in the, if you sign up to be a supporting member, you could have your chance to be on unpaid underrated. And that's a wild journey.

It's taken us three years to get, but like that, that's a wild few minutes of our time. Yeah. Yeah. I don't really, you know what? I'm tempted to go to the pizza hut in my city.

Just to see what it's like. I had a friend that worked there when we were a kid, like when we were like teenager. So we used to go visit him sometimes. And I'm kind of tempted to go see how vintage it is. see if it's a Pizza Hut classic. Yeah, the only one near us is literally just like an express that's just a pickup place. Like, I don't have it sit down at Pizza Hut anymore.

Yeah, this one is or was. I don't even know if it's still open. It's in such a weird part of town, so. I would call them first and be like, are you open? And what is your decor like still? And do you have a salad bar? What is your gay core? Yeah, the 16-year-old answer in the phone is going to be like,

shut up. Which video games do you still have from the... What's Pac-Man? Oh, come on. The sit-down video game thing. I can't believe nobody... It was not. Pac-Man?

Oh, yeah. And, yeah, Tommy was like, oh, he's talking about, like, the off-road. And I remember the off-road when he was talking about with the really shitty, like, aerial view. But I feel like Pac-Man was synonymous with my pizza huts, for sure.

Yeah, fine, too. I was just shocked when Tanner said, did you sit down for that game that nobody jumped on the sit-on-your-ass? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Playing video games, like, yeah, top-to-your-old-old-ass. Yeah. So, I'm going to give that a five-at-five heavy-e. heavy-ass plastic red cups.

Nice, good old plastic cups. Yeah, lots of sets and Rep Talk. Just in an abundance of it. It's so hard because you consume half of it live and then half of a Sunday night that it's like, fuck what they talk about, but Tommy obsessed with his Pizza Hut white sauce to the point that he

went down like a Discord Rebit or a Reddit hole kind of made me chuckle. One thing that it stood out to such an extent that I think I'd type that in our notes, like, the moment I heard it, but how do you say New Hampshire? Like is that New Hampshire? I swear to God, fucking Tanner said New Hampshire. Hell yeah.

I even like, I even like broke it down and like spelled it like new ham shire. And I'm like, that's not a word, but it's just the inflection. It just made me chuckle. Like I don't know why that stuck out, but it did. So I'm going to go ahead and give it five out of five new ham shires because Frodo needs that new ham. Yeah, we can't leave the shire. He does. bread a wine and ham.

What about second breakfast? What about second pizza stuff? Well, first breakfast is new ham. Second breakfast is second, you know, is old ham. Who would have had on the podcast also? John? Full circle. As soon as I said, I was like, oh, that's a joke.

Yeah, that's there. We got any affiliates? You want me to do them this time or you do them? Oh, fuck it, yeah. Cipidin ammonia. We got some smelling salts out there. That would be cool if we. you get some smelling. We could get some, you and you selling salt to be kind of cool. I bet we could sell some too.

I've, I need some selling salts. I've come up. I think we could do that. I don't know what the smell would be though. We just have to be like just generic and stock, but like I don't think we necessarily have it. I've been, I've been urging and nudging for a yager scented one, but I think I've spoken about it before. He got in some trouble for the monster. Yeah, for anything like that. But I was like, well, the label doesn't have to be. The labor would be our. logo, but it would just be like unpaid and underrated, scented, but it would just be Yeager, like

black licorish. It would murder people. That'd be cool. I think we could sell at least 50 of those, but if he's got to do like a 200 limit or something, it'd be hard. I'll talk to him. Plate snacks. We're getting close to home gym con, getting close to Lyft Herdle of Easy. A good portion of people listen to this is going to

both one or both of those. You better not show up empty handed. If you have a home gym, you probably have a home gym name. You probably got it on gym radar. And you definitely should have stickers for it, you know. Code unpaid, plate snacks, save you a little bit of money. And belt fed strength, huge fan of what Chris and reindeer are doing over there.

They got all kinds of attachments made out of leather, they got the belts, you know. Tanner's been working on getting them to make a stock dip belt. Don't think that overhappen, but, you know, never say never, and we'll see what happens. But code and unpaid at all our friends' companies help save you a little bit of money and sometimes gives us a little

kickback, but not always. Hell yeah. And big Sean, is there anything you want, you know, is there a sponsor reed, a little ad read you wanted to hit us with for our friends over at Massonomics? I certainly do. We're going to kick it back to the old buddy action movie trailer style. Can you do the voice? Can you do the voice? In a world.

I love 80s action movies. Here it goes. In a world. Where some men talk about politics. Some talk about sports. Some ask the hard questions. What are you lifting? This summer, two podcasters are taking on issues.

Nobody else will. Taylor, bulk bell enthusiast. Tommy DeFeya, home gym hero. What America needs answers, they delivered. The seated exercise tier list. when the public demanded leadership, they debated the minimum requirements for a barbell, and when chaos threatened home gyms,

they uncovered the product everyone regrets. Sorry. When chaos threatened home gyms, they uncovered the product everyone regrets buying. It's jammer arms. Always jammer arms. I still don't know what they are. All of their home gym tours, leg extensions, and chicken bakes,

will be put to the test. The straightest men in podcasting are back in Massonomics. Lifting hard, living easy. Come as straight as they come every Monday. Nice. Yeah. Love it. Well done.

Well, to get you on next week to do for the sequel and then part three. Basically, you have to do one every week leading up to lift our LVZ4 and just kind of build on the sequel and the trilogy and the quad. What's a four quad? Quadrilogy. Yeah. People wouldn't say that though. Didn't they do that in that episode? Yeah, they did, I think.

Or we did. We did. We did tetrology. Everything is flat circle. Oh, no. Did you break your notes? No, I grabbed one of Morgan's drinks and I really don't want it. Speaking of movies, so I know I mentioned this in our thread, but this might be new

to people who don't pay attention to that. So I got Amazon Prime or Prime Video or whatever it's called to, because I wanted to watch Spider-Noir. First of all, Spider-Noir, fantastic. I started the first episode. Oh, I need to watch that. Oh, fantastic. I love Nor- watching Black and White or color?

Yes, actually I alternated. I did one episode each. Mm-hmm. Because-hmm. Did one edge of the other out or is it kind of just preference? I like black and white. Yeah. So I'm a big fan of noir movies.

I love the noir style. And I distinctly remember. seeing Logan in theaters. I walked out and I said to my wife, that would have been better in black and white. And sure enough, on the DVD release, they released both black and white and in color. So, like, I'm just a big fan.

Like, to the point where the one guy in Spider-Noir, I was looking at him and I go, I know that guy. Nicholas Kate. He's in one of my other favorite noir movies, Brick with Joseph Gordon-Levett. Oh. But he was like 16.

I watched that movie 20 years ago. Yeah, because I loved that movie because it was such. Well, now you're throwing me off on what no or means. I thought it just meant like black and white or like old timey but set in present or like present. Or present day but then like crime or hours or old. Yeah.

So I'm usually a noir style will have some sort of detective with a lot of flaws who still somehow manages to overcome those flaws to like it's a specific kind of storytelling that is very dark and introspective. Yeah. So yeah. Anyway. So I was like, okay, we're going to watch that, and I'm going to watch the boys. Big shout out to my buddy. Yeah, one of my buddies works on it, so I kind of had some insights into what it's going on. Yeah.

They filmed like right here. It's like an hour like. Yeah. That's sweet. But then I was like, okay, what else is on Prime? Because I'm only keeping it for the month, right? If you don't watch Invincible, we can't talk anymore because Invincible is the best thing on Prime. Invincible is sweet.

I need to watch the new season. I would disagree highly because you've got Spider Noir, the Boys, and Reacher. Well, Richard. Love Richard. Yeah. Those are all better than Invincible. Invincible is too squelchy. It's just squelchy.

It's just a lot of... I don't know what that word means. A lot of squelching. A lot of squelching, right? I know what felching means. That's not the same. Ew. No, so squelchy is like,

there's just too much unnecessary gore. There is a lot of that, but... And the boys was bad enough, but this is like... The boys, let's say the boys, you'd argue, too. The boys is significantly worse than Invincible. Because the boys has, like, a literal swinging dick every other episode. Yeah, it does.

That's not squelchy. That's interesting. That's interesting. Don't hate on him. Just doing his job. So what I, just to get this over with, oh my God,

I'm still going. I was like, what else is on here? Well, I'm contributing, so it helps. I love Jason Statham. I always have.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. There's like all his movies are the same. But all of his movies recently, him and Liam Neeson, both are actually all doing the same thing.

Yeah. It's the, I was a secret agent. I don't want to be a secret agent, but you're going to make me be one again to save this girl, woman, kid, pet, whatever. And it's all the same movie. And it's funny because I was watching the one, I don't remember the name, shelter or something. And I watched another one the next night. And I said to Morgan and I was like, every Jason State, the movie is the same now. I was.

And now I'm not. And I don't want to be. but you're going to make me be and she's like you're going to watch all of them aren't you I was like you're fucking right I am I'm going to watch every single one of these stupid movies I'm going to hate them and we've seen what's it wrath of man yes that one was decent that one was no I mean

so Statham's a little different but in the last five years Staten's movies are significantly better than Liam Neeson's movies because Leon Neeson is just too fucking old it's always running it well but he can't and it's all edits it's uh what was taking somebody did the thing there was like 38 edits

and him jumping over a fence. Yeah. I believe he's like in his 70s, isn't he? Yeah, he should not be doing the movies he's doing. But he's Liam Mason. He's going to do what Liam Neeson does. And yeah, anyway, that was my update on Jason State the movies. Still think Crank is his best movie followed very closely by Crank 2.

I don't care what anybody says. That movie was so stupid and knew it. That's why they put porn stars in it. Maynard from Tool is in it. they were like we're going to make crank two and somebody went you can't make crank two he died in the first one and they were like fucking watch yeah we're

we're gonna make this movie it's gonna be stupid and we know it and it was all right let's see if you're a big jays have you seen Ghost of Mars what was it about it was about Natasha Hedstrich and Ice Cube team up to fight these

like zombies on the vampires on Mars Yeah, the van, more vampire. But Jason Statham's in it. I don't think I have seen that. I'm going to have to go find that one. It's a really bad. I'm going to hate watch it.

It's like a, I think it's definitely a B movie. It might have been like straight to HBO or something, but it was a John Carpenter movie. I was so hyped on it. I'm going to hate watching the shit out of that. Yeah, I'd bet it was like 02 or something probably. It wasn't great, but I've seen worse.

But it's just a bad, a bad vampire movie literally on Mars. It's not the best. but I think we'll go ahead and, you know, we probably get to the guest. So I'm going to kick out all the looky-lose here and see if I can't get Big Sean on the horn. Big Sean, you there, buddy. I'm here. Hey, welcome to the Unpaid Under-Ray podcast. We're glad to have you.

Let's kick it off. I want you to introduce people with your name, your Instagram handle, YouTube. What's your moniker? Where people are going to find you all that? All righty. I am Big Sean. I am the Colonial Barbell Club on. Instagram, YouTube.

I am a equipment reviewer on those channels. I sometimes post somewhat inspirational quotes. I post a lot of dad stuff because I'm a dad. And

pretty much about it. I like it. I like it. All right. Trying to get jacked. I have a wife. So I'm trying to be arm candy. There you go. Trophy. I mean, we're all trophy husbands in our own way. one way or another. Some trophies are just bigger than the others. I'm just trying to be like the

like stay at home like jacked dad but do like you know that's my goal. I would love to be a stay at home jacked hot dad. Yeah trophy husband shit. Delfth Dungeon. It's right. Dilt Dungeon all the way. Yep.

Nice. Well, what brought you to Massonomics and why just stick around? well uh i've i started a home gym during covid and i've always been into like health and fitness um i've i've i'm i added podcast listen podcast listener and um i forget i think it was like a jo rogan episode or something and then Spotify was like hey you might like this thing it's called mass Anomics. I'm like, okay, I'll give it a try. And then start listening to it, had some chuckles. I'm like, okay, these guys don't take themselves seriously, which I was finding a lot of like fitness podcast being like, let's do this, let's get it. And then, you know, they're talking about chicken bake is the best piece of protein you can get. So it, if you're funny, you got me hooked and then, you know, went down the rabbit hole. Now I'm here and I have this. you know, home gin and review channel. I've had the cottage cheese.

I've had the chicken bake. So I'm in the cold. What was the, what was, give me a ballpark timeline of when you, you know, I know you don't know your number, but when do you think you started,

you know, paying your dues and like roundabout when you start listening to the podcast, give or take like timeline. Like I'm talking like six months, two years, three years last week. I started listening to the podcast before I,

I pulled the trigger on a supporting member. I think I've been a supporting member for about a year and a half now. Okay, good cool. So kind of relatively new. Gotcha. I've just been consuming episodes ever since.

As one does. That's good stuff. Well, we're glad to have you. Thank you, thank you. You know, which colonial colony are you from? And, you know, is that where you've always been? whole country's a colony that's right

I'm in the well I'm in the Commonwealth of Hampton Roads which is a you don't know southeastern Virginia that's not New Hampton No not New Hampton New Hampton no

No hampton no I'm in that old ass Hampton But yeah that's and like my wife's from Colonial Williamsburg or Williamsburg not the colonial part.

That's just, you know, that's a thing. I've been moving. I've been to Williamsburg a time or two. Everyone, like, everyone comes down here eventually.

Like, their parents drag them because they like history. And then, oh, let's take a look here. We'll go to Bush Gardens later, but you have to,

you know, walk down the street full of colonial blacksmiths and horseshit. So, yeah, been here for, how old am I?

38 years. Hey, nice. We don't have a kid this time. Keep on. We never know if we get a guest one. It's like, it's like, are you 23 or are you 45?

I'm not sure. Like that's probably a guest, you know, all over the play. Not necessarily, I mean, I'm not saying you look old or young. I'm just saying like,

in general, we have such a diverse age. Like a lot, like our core group used to be masters and we kind of all shifted into, or used to be submasters and kind of shifted into masters. But as with ours,

our group has grown and expand. we've definitely added some higher end, you know, I think we have a couple people in their 70s and a couple people in their teens, so we're all over the place. Isn't Big Clayton like 12, 13?

Something like that, yeah. Yeah, yeah. How's cool upset? Anastasia 16, right? And she's a supporting member. So yeah, we definitely run the age gamut of people who like lifting and not taking it seriously.

Hell yeah. What is the, so you've been around and you said for about a year and a half as a supporting member, two and a half years as a listener maybe. What's the piece of merch that you missed out on that you kick yourself for? Oh, the lift shorts, man.

I want to stunt on people so bad with the lift shorts. Like even this past episode, they're talking about the lift shorts just being this coveted piece of merchandise. You know, if you're not balling unless you have lift shorts. The champion. The champion. in lift shorts too, right?

The new ones are, I think I've said it before. The new shorts are a better product, hands down, right? But nothing will beat the feeling. Actually, now that I've lost a bunch of weight, I keep pulling mine out and wearing all my old ones. My deadlifter shorts. The breaking parallel I don't wear very often, I should probably just put those up somewhere. I was able to snag a pair of sweatpants, so I felt pretty good since they pulled that one out of the vault. I was pretty happy to snag that.

Well, that's good. Yeah. We always like people don't use something that came out last week as their answers. What's that one thing you wish you would have bought? Leave him alone. Was it Sterling? I can't remember. I was somebody.

Oh, this good. I regret not buying the joggers. They're in the store right now. Yeah, literally. You could pay double price and buy them off a cat hater, but that's okay. Wow. So people that know. we'll know what that means.

What's that Hall of Fame status? Where do you think you're at after tonight? Oh, God. I think, well, after Home GymCon, I think I'll have three check marks. I'll have 10 pieces of merchandise or 10 orders. What's it? There's a...

I can go over them with you because I happen to have them right here. So attend Lift Hard Live Easy, Classic. Okay, no. Compete at the Lift Hard-Livisi. Nope. I'm doing the virtual one.

That counts. It does not. No, it doesn't mean. All right. Attend the Arnold and as of this year, home gym con. I will. I will be at home gym con.

Crew Falls. Supporting member one year. Yes. You got that one. Supporting member two years. Double check on that one. Okay. So then we'll skip the four year.

There's a chance. Own a drink. Spotter. Oh, yes. Own a piece of band merchandise. What do you consider banned?

So anything with the either the yeah buddy light or the anything with the Moulson stuff on it. So anything lift, anything huge life, any of those things? Nope,

not that I know else. Okay. Place 10 online orders. Yes. Uh, the, the hardest one. Be a contest prize winner. Hail all. We don't run any contest anymore. Your voice on the Massonomics podcast.

Nope. All right. Number 13, you're on right now. Post a picture with another supporting member on Instagram. Not yet. Um, for the virtual, uh, Lift Hardly, I am going to go to Big Bremi's house.

Oh, that's perfect. Yeah. So then I assume you have not lifted at Massonomics, Jim. Nope. And then the last one is the back catalog. Listen to the first 400 episodes. I'm working on it. So you're at four.

And it sounds like within a month you will be at at least five. Yeah. They need to update the card to the first 500 episodes now. Now they're so far deep into season five. Oh, yeah. Season two, but. Or just backlog Season 1.

Which is, that puts some effect that means the Hall of Fame has been around for like 200 or well, 100 and like 40 episodes or,

it's wild. Well, yeah, there's some easy ones left on there for you. Home Jim Con. Oh yeah. Yeah. One day I'll make it to the Dean.

That's, it's for sure fun. They should add, you think it would add the no wine cellar. You think that would count too? Because those are too big, like, those are the two of

Matonomics gyms. Nothing special with the no wine cellar, just a good time that I like to hang out at. Yours is a lot closer than the dean. Well, we'll get you up here today. Okay, your certified gym. I'm going to stop

posing this as a question, and I'm just going to do this. Is Colonial Barbell Club on Jim Radar? It's called Jim Radar. You joined March third 2026. You have 402 points.

So great work. Yeah, I still have a bunch of reviews to do. 48 pieces of equipment. You have a few reviews and you now officially have the Joey unpaid comment which is the way that I tell everybody you have appeared on

unpaid and underrated. I also added to the list of guests because I've had that on my page for years. I just keep forgetting Yes. Very good. Look at it. You got tag teamed by me and Keith. Oh.

Double certified and tag teamed on you and you. I think that same thing happened to one of the crew. I can't think of his name right now. I'm sure he remembers. Who's the, who's the big, big Kurt. Because yeah, big, big Kurt took it from both ends. And I had the witty joke and someone said something about the stuff.

Yeah, Mofo, who shits on me 99% of the time actually said I said something funny. like, oh, thanks, buddy. Yeah, about time. So tell us about your Jim name and, you know, give us what you love about Jim Radar, all that kind of jazz. Well, Colonial Barbell Club was kind of a layup kind of name.

I was trying to come up with just a decent name that encompasses like my area. Of course, like the settlers, all that jazz, all that shit happened here. And I'm kind of a man of history, if you will, kind of a history buff. And like I said, I started reviewing products. Just not on Jim Radar. No, no, yeah. YouTube mostly, but beautiful.

gym radar. But Jim Raider has been awesome. I've actually discovered two other gyms that were within like 10, 15 minutes of me. Oh, nice. That I never would have known of without Jim Radar. And actually like talk to him now and stuff.

Yeah, yeah. Like I've sent the messages like, holy shit, you're in Virginia where? Like I knew big Austin in the Dragon's Den. I knew he was, he's like further west of me. And then, uh, big Bremy is probably about 40 minutes for me. And then, uh, mostly spot videos.

He's, he's in like northern Virginia. So I need to make that, that trek because I, I thoroughly enjoy his videos. They're always fucking hilarious. Yeah, he's pretty, um, yeah. Yeah, but yeah, it's a, I think it's like, 15, 16, stall mats big. And it's still an active garage.

Yeah, that was my comment. It's 100% like, if you look at it the wrong angle, you can even tell there's a gym in there. It's just like, oh, there's a stand-up, you know, freezer and the kids bikes. Watcher dryer. Do you have like a whole bunch of like flag decor and more posters on the way to bling it all out?

Yeah. I do. I do. I just got a, I got a couple fringe. banners. I need to, I'm thinking about, I have my gym radar on one wall

and the Mast's not, the CTF on one. I may just like sit by and just cover up my water heater. Yeah, there you go. Yeah.

So, yeah, eventually I'll be able to, I'll paint at some point, but there's like a whole bunch of shit from like when my wife and I got married in 2017 that needs to get fucking thrown out. So,

Now, I throw this out? Can I throw that out? You got to stop asking. That's my thing. I just don't ask anymore. Like, that's been on the floor for three days. It's garbage now. No, I need that.

Then it wouldn't have been on the floor for three days. Anyway, there is one thing. I don't normally do equipment talk, but I noticed you're a very big stand-up barbell storage guy. Yeah, you have how many? You have two pieces of barbell storage? I do have two pieces of. of a stand up barbell storage.

I do have two pieces of barbell store. I have a five bar holder from bells of steel. Yep. And then I have a, I needed something with a little bit more storage. And I really liked the idea of the rotating storage that Bells of Steel are the Titan has. Yep. But it's like almost $400.

I'm like, it's got to be something out there. And then lo and behold, a good old Amazon came up for one for like 120 bucks. I was like, let's go. So it's like on a lazy Susan, you can just like... Yeah. Like just spin your barbell?

Yeah. That's hilarious. Because I've got two deadlift, two dedicated deadlift bars, a pack of bar. My own bar. I've got two bars for my kids. So each of them have a bar. I've got an axle bar and a curl bar. So I have a lot of fucking bars and I was just like I need more storage. Absolutely.

And the lazy Susan idea is fantastic. If anyone doesn't have one, I highly suggested. I don't yet. And then the last question, the last equipment question I have. I know I'm not normally the equipment guy. That's normally a Keith job. But as I'm spending more time on Jim Radar, I'm having more fun looking at equipment. You happen to have the Bells of Steel Deadlift bar.

which has been a hot topic here on unpaid and underrated. How do you feel about the bells of steel deadlift bar? A little hard to hear you. Hold on. I think my headphones are maybe shit to bed. Yep. Well, I mean, that'll happen. Literally shit the bed, so you're not one step ahead of bed, a big Will.

Poor Will. You leave Will alone. You bet shit are you? Yeah, so you have the bells of steel. deadlift bar and that's been a bit of a hot topic here on unpaid and underrated. How do you feel about it? By my honest and biased take.

It's not as grippy as I would hope it would be. Yeah, that's the consensus. The nerling, the nerling isn't my favorite. Like I have, there's an Amazon brand called Loft, L-O-E-F-T. I thought there was a lie in there. You're right, I guess. Jim Tor. and they have a dedicated like deadlift bar

and the the nerling on that is is very grippy like it will absolutely tear tear to your hand up like I would like I have the giant lifting trap bar which has really grippy nerling and they're pretty much the same but it's okay

like if you're getting if you're just getting into deadlifting and you don't want to tear your hand hands up, I would suggest go with the bells of steel. If you want, calluses, like a real deadlifter, get something a little grippier.

I was about to say, if you're just getting into deadlifting and don't want to tear up your hands, take up squats. Don't. Sorry. Sorry, yeah. But yeah, like,

I think that's the general consensus on the bells of steel bar is like, okay I have the power bar v2 I think from them and uh I love it it's my favorite it's my go-to it's my everyday power bar and then when I was at cams and I uh I was using that and he was like check out the nerling and I was like it's not that it's not that nerled and he goes now go touch the power bar and it's the same nerling it's almost like they use the same cutting machine so um you know I'm at clearly I have the ear of bells of steel

and I think that's a conversation I'm going to have with them is your deadlift bar you need more aggressive nerling on your deadlift bar. Yeah, like I was talking to carp about it and he was like, I've had the bare naked power bar and the power bar. Yeah, well, I don't know if he had like an older version but he was saying his power bar nerling

is more aggressive than this deadlift bar. Yeah. So which shouldn't be happening. No, like a deadlift bar should cut up your hands. Yeah, absolutely. It got cheap and didn't replace the dyes on the neural cutter and just kind of every company. Texas was bad at that for years, having very inconsistent nerling.

So, you know, it's literally a crapshoot sometimes when you buy a bar, even from a reputable company. It's like, is this going to be as sharp as I want it to be or is it not? Because I just spent $500 on it and it's a house. Yeah. Yeah, I need to finally pull the trigger and get a real, real Texas. You gotta go Texas. Yeah, I've pulled on a lot of deadlift bars,

and I still, like, sometimes I'll pull on something else and go, God, I miss my, my Texas. There you do. Yeah, you do. Gee, are you okay? You'll wake over there? I'm good. An alonnie or something?

Like, a... I have that is. A quick bump. Something? A quick bump of alonnie. Yeah. There you go. Big Sean, you had a handful of people.

submit some questions for questions and answers for you there that is. Some questions and answers. Yeah, I mean, we submitted the questions. They submitted the answers. It's the effect so. Somewhere like that. We submitted the questions to them and then they answered. There you go.

All right. So how'd you go about explaining you and you and getting all those filled out for us? I basically told them, hey, I'm going to be on a podcast. It's about lifting and Tom Foolery. and most of my friends who I sent it to are like I'm game for it because they're probably going to submit some really funny stories my wife was like kind of wary about it

just because of like from all the stories I've told to her about it she's like sounds like a cult and like I promise it's not a cult I don't fuck anyone it's okay I mean you don't have to yeah there's no obligation it's optional I mean it might be a written rule, but it's, I mean, no, it's, it's, it might be, is that going to be on the next Hall of Fame card?

Married to a crew member. Oh, I thought you were going to say, have sex with Keith. Oh, no. I mean, we're down at least one, right? Like, how many more left? And then I sent some questions into my parents and they're like, old. older, you know, what's the interview?

Older parents. So, not quite. They're pretty hip to it, but, you know, the parents usually like never, never answer like the FMK or Mount Rushmore. And the half the time, it's just like, I don't know what that means. And that's like consistent almost across like all, uh, guessed.

So, yeah, I would be shocked if my, uh, parents submitted FMK questions. All right. Fair enough. Fair enough.

All right. Are you familiar with least fun? most fun, a little game we like to play right here. I am. I am. You're going to give me a subject and I'm going to tell you whether it's least fun, it sucks, or most fun. It's great.

No, you're going to give both. Yes. You're going to give the least fun and the most fun thing about this one subject. Yes. At the same time. At the same time. Two do you do the same time. Two questions at the same time. Yeah, it was, yeah.

What would you do if you want a million dollars? Two jigs at the same time. These fun, most fun. The last six months of putting yourself out there on YouTube. Reviewing that equipment. I think the most fun is doing all the creative things that I like to do normally. I do like to be witty, funny, and creative. so that's probably the most fun

I'd probably say the least fun it's not even really bad somewhat there's been like trolls here and there I mostly tell them to subscribe to troll more and then my wife asked me that question like what if someone trolls you

or calls you names and I'm just like I grew up in the early aughts in pregame lobbies. There's nothing you can't say to me that hasn't been already said. It is pretty talk to their times though. Halo 2 pregame lovors. Halo 2 pregame lobbies. You can't say anything to me.

Well, that's good answers. I do have somewhat unrelated, but I just want to, we might not circle back to Jim Radar or your gym too much. But so as a, you know, an influencer you're out there making home gym. You consider yourself an influencer

or just a home gym reviewer? I don't know what the an aspiring influencer that does home gym review content. I guess I would probably say aspiring. I do plan on trying to make this

a permanent thing. Oh cool. Not quite to like the level of like gluck or coop or it'd be nice to hit that, you know. Yeah. It'd be by accident. But,

probably aspiring influencer So as someone in that wheelhouse You're actually taking advantage At Jim Radar, you're enjoying Jim Radar You're doing some reviews on Jim Raider Where other people Some other people

Right around your Level, if you will Kind of shit on Jim Radar And say, well, I'm not going to give them Reviews for free essentially. What do you have to say about that? And like, why do you not have that opinion. It seems like...

Who? Who? We'll take this off one. Who incarnation? Yeah. Some people will know. You know, it's just do let it go. Just let it go. Like, you're going to make your YouTube

review, and then you can write a review. It doesn't have to be, you know, you can just condense your YouTube review if you want. Or, you know, I'm just perplexed. Like, people want to complain about, you know, this website where it's more of a community based, whereas

YouTube is a completely different base. You know, it's not so much a community. It's all a bunch of random people that like your videos. And like, not to mention, like, Jim Radar, they're, you're not going to get trolls on, as far as I know. Not yet. I mean, you have the ability to block assholes, too, which is really cool. yeah I don't know it's just it's it's kind of stupid

if you're playing about Jim Radar honestly and I I can't there's some there's some squeaky wheels that are like

I can't imagine as somebody who like I mean I constantly shit on the idea of being an influencer and blah blah yeah yeah I can't imagine

not doing a video of a review and then saying by the way go to Jim Radar to see all of my actual reviews. It's all about the affiliate clicks. They want to not...

They don't want to dilute any opportunity that they're going to get for their own affiliate link click. And I get that. I get that to an extent. You don't have to actively shit on it. Yeah, I get that to an extent. But at the same time, if there was this wonderful website

that amalgamated all of my ideas, I didn't have to build it myself and pay for it. the hosting and all that shit, I'd be sending people there as most companies. A lot of companies are doing that now. A lot of companies are coming out with the, we are

on Jim Radar. I'm going to look at, um, go ahead, Joe. No, no, you, go ahead. Um, like, look at Joe Gray. Like, in his, uh, if you watch his video about the mag grip, or comprehensive videos on

mag grips. And then he has probably a good, 10 minute read on his own website detailing even more about Maggrips still referencing his videos so that's like a whole like 20, 30 minute deep dive you can do on

magrips by themselves and no he's not doing it on your radar he's doing it on and you're still you're still going to go to that person and say hey you reviewed this

give me some more details on it. And at that point, you can say, hey, use my affiliate link, or, you know, if you want to stay loyal, well, stay loyal to Mastinonics is kind of the wrong way to say it. But, you know, I have a differing opinion about affiliates. So, I'm kind of like, I'm here or there about affiliate links. Maybe we will do this in the post show if I'm not fucking exhausted by then. but I will just say like, affiliate links,

take them or leave them. I have them and I have them for companies that I have supported because I like them. So if I'm here and I'm enjoying a product and I can say, oh hey, you might enjoy this, use my code.

I will say I have made less than $100 in affiliate links. Like three of them have never paid out. Like, I've made hundreds of dollars on them, and they're just like, oh, we haven't figured out how to pay out yet. Well, what the fuck is that then? Like, I'm going to stop pushing your stuff at that point. Yeah. So, like, yeah, the whole affiliate program is a weird, weird concept.

And I can't imagine shitting on Jim Radar to protect myself for companies that don't give a fuck about me. Anyway. Oh, yeah. Yeah. They're like, especially if you are like an affiliate, if you are affiliated with that company, like, you're just a number. You're not, you know, unless you're, in some of them. In some of them. I won't name any names, but there are some that like the chats we have are incredible.

I'm in chats with people that I'd never thought I would ever talk to. Like I, I literally have talked to Tom Havilland. What the hell is that? Who am I? Who am I that I'm in a chat with Tom Havilland? He's almost as big as a mystery as this Jim Radar guys. Right? Anyway,

so yeah. My turn for a question. Can we segue off of me renting about affiliates and Instagram and I'm not an influencer, but here's my take on being one. So you've got your, let's go with who's your number one hype person? And you can choose anybody living a lot. dead or fictional?

Uh, that I'm trying to think who would who would give me the most uh, hutspah to lift something up. Um,

uh, fuck what's his name? I've been watching a lot of like Tom Plats lately, the Quadfather. Um, like a lot of like the older bodybuilders, uh,

I think would be, would be really great pipe people or even, actually, I take that back. I would choose Dr. Seth. I've been watching a lot of his content lately, and,

like, he's currently doing a huge cut, still trying to break his record of, like, 20, 100 some odd pounds in his lips. And just, like, his demeanor

when he's coaching is, it's very nice, but he will still, like, put a foot in your ass if you're fucking something up. Yep. So it's, I'd probably say Dr. Seth.

I just, I just been watching a shit ton of his content of his content. And it's very enjoyable. Absolutely. I highly recommend if anyone wants, especially like powerlifting advice, I would, I would go with Dr. Seth.

No, I know the name. Dr. Seth Albertsworth. Yeah, he's a Canadian guy. No. Those fucking guys. Against your own people. Uh, and then my second question that I've been putting out recently, what's your favorite muscle?

What's your favorite muscle of yours? That's what I mean? Like, what's your favorite muscle to train? What's your favorite muscle that like, when you, when you work it out, you're just like, damn, that's a good pump. I feel good about that. That was a couple. Uh, my wiener is a good one. Kind of a muscle.

Uh, all right. I'll probably say I've been really enjoying chest supported exercises so I'd probably say Lats Yeah like I've

Barbell Rose Sniff Rose Chess Supporting Rose Do you do the lot The lat spread afterwards? If I had like If I had

Impressive Lats Yes I would But I have like I have like those like Those wings at bottom of like the like basket that are like the really shitty wings like

oh why do they toss this in here that's what my back looks like I don't believe you but he's really funny he's recording from an iPhone so he's in like very small perspective so you can't yeah just makes him look small like he has no

like Lats it's kind of a music all right well that's some good good questions well occupation as little as much as you'd like to talk about it I'm a maritime welder which means and I work for the

Navy so I help fix submarines and aircraft carriers that's pretty dope how long you've been doing that yeah uh be 12 years

come to July so that's what you got into too or is this something you've worked up like did you get in as like an apprentice just kind of like carrying shit or do you and then they paid you to become a welder

and all that uh yeah it's an apprentice program, they start you off as a, I mean, from the jump, you start off welding. Okay, okay. And it's been a fun career. I've definitely got to do things that I never thought I would do normally in life. It's definitely taught me the value of hard work. I can imagine.

Is that like, is there, is that 365? Like, or you get laid off here and there? So I guess it's, and is the ship, is it, is it, is not like, are you outside year around then? or like in the winter, are you able to, like, do some indoor shit? Or, like, how's that work? It's luck of the draw.

Nine times out of ten, you're outside. You know, depending on what crew you're on, because they'll section off the boat in different, like, crews, like, you'll be the inside tank crew. You'll be the whole crew. Like, if you're in an aircraft care, obviously everything is inside. So you luck out with that.

But I've been on submarines mostly, so it's... That's pretty cool. How long? And these are all... like full, full overhauls when they're like dry docked or like just even to small repairs? Sometimes it depends on the work that comes in. Most of the time I worked on overhauls.

So they were dry docked. It's really cool to see a submarine just like, especially like rock under just how big is a submarine? So like your average submarine like the submarine that you would work on more from the knot. Like, how freaking, like, compare that to, like,

a football field or a basketball court. Like, how bare, how, I don't, I have no grasp on how big a submarine, like a current naval, U.S. naval submarine is,

like, in size. Like, you can ballpark. Like, it's got to. Lengthwise, you're probably looking at,

like, one and a half basketball courts. Okay. Um, as far as the girth, uh, it's,

pretty tall, isn't it? It's pretty earthy. I mean, it's every bit of like five, six stories from the top, just the top. I'm not talking about like the sale, the part that pokes up the tallest. There's actual like from there. Functional quarters. Yeah. And probably every bit of like five, six stories.

That's impressive. Yeah. And then they're sitting on keel blocks, so there are another like eight feet in the air. Yeah. Do you guys, did you build like scaffolding and rigging to get up into them? Or do you have like even like makeshift elevators and shit? Like I'm curious. Elevators would be great.

Sounds like no, no. You're hiking upstairs. For the most part, because you'll like how the shipyards, they have different crews. Like you'll have one code that does rigging, one code that does electrical, one code that does plumbing, pipe fitting. And then you'll have a crew. that just welds. That's very cool. Yeah, yeah. And so, like, there's times you might work on the same ship for, like, months or

years, years. Oh, wow. Literally, like, damn. I feel like the welding on a submarine needs to be, like, thoroughly done. Well, he's not built. Like, they're not, they're not building. They're just, well, do you do new, do you, have you done new builds or is it all retrofit stuff?

It's all retrofit. We're a repair, it's a repair yard. Okay, okay. So everything that comes in has to be fixed. Do you imagine the bill on that? I mean, I guess we're paying the U.S. government and we are paying for that, right? But like, okay, so even one year and like 50 guys, you know, how about what was? I mean, I guess it comes in waves, but you got to think like 20 guys for a year straight or more.

Like that's, that's millions. Billions. Yeah, I was going to say hundreds of millions, but no, it's a billion. That is so much money. Because you'll have, I mean, you'll have a crew of just 20 welders. And that'll be one crew of welders. That's not counting, like, guys that are doing different parts of the boat. So that could be another 20 guys.

And then another 20 guys. And then you've got your electrical group, which is another, like, 30, 40. And then heists who are, God, there's probably like 40 of them. And that's not counting overtime. A lot of these tidings are doing 10, 12-hour days. you know, up to six a week. No thanks on the overtime, but that does, but it does sound like decent job security, though.

Sounds like that's not, oh, yeah, like we're not, we're not, we're not, we're not, we're not,

we're not going to be short for needing a Navy, so. No, I mean, it's, it's, it's pretty good. When we got furloughed,

it was kind of, it was fucking terrible, because we still had to come to work. We were essential. So, I mean, we got back paid, which was good,

but, you know, at the same time, having to go to work and work for free, for almost a month. I mean, it's such a, I imagine like,

like there's the TSA people, a lot of the, a lot of the, and like someone in your position can't leave a fifth, a 12 year career, you know, because you just have to have enough money and savings to deal with it for a month or two or whatever,

because you can't throw away a career just for not getting paid for, I mean, it sucks and I would have been so demoralized and so pissed off. But I also like, oh yeah, I can't go, I can't go take a 40, you know,

a $40,000 pay cut to start somewhere else, you know what I mean? And then like, a new career. Like it's, it's not, yeah, I get it.

My brother's in the same boat. He just had to kind of eat it for a couple months and deal with it. Yeah, yeah. Sucks, but it is what it is. Yeah. Well,

that's a very cool job. I, uh, it sounds intriguing and how far away is that is that it? So, but you were going to the same yard every day too, right? Like you're the same. Yeah. Like,

so whatever your commute is doesn't change. That's the one shitty part about like the manual labor construction kind of jobs like that is fucking them all, all over the state. Wait, wait. How close is West Virginia to any ocean? West Virginia? Yeah.

He's in Virginia. How close is Virginia close to the ocean? Oh yeah, I know Virginia is. Pretty fucking close. Yeah, yeah. I was just, I was just, I'm thinking West Virginia. I was like, what, that's not like, like, are they? Probably like 40 minutes from the ocean.

Are they dragging submarines across the fucking continent? And then I was like, no. Virginia, Virginia. Yeah. Just on a 30. six wheeler. That has a valid point though. So like you,

if you're 40 minutes from the ocean, then are you driving 40 minutes to work every day? Because I can't imagine the shipyard is, or is there like a big like inlet or a, we've got a ton of inlets. Okay, because there's got to be some kind of way they, because they'll come up from the ocean

and then they'll get tugged to. There's actually like two naval bases. And it's for me. And then there's one in Port Smith, which is the one I go to. And they'll start at one. They'll have work there. And then they'll get tugged to another,

the repair yard. So, and then from there, all the fun happens, well, with us anyway. Usually the tugging is the fun, but it is. The tugging is the fun part. Yeah.

Tug it in or tugging out. Oh man, I can't believe we're only on work. Yeah, we're gonna have to, we're gonna have to, yeah. We've just been having too much fun. Like, even, I can't even argue that the Jake stuff took up too much time because we've just been shitting. We've been bullshitting every shit. Shitting on Beyond Power and billions.

And Jim, Jim, Jim, Radar, anti-Jim radar guys. Yeah, it's like, oh, no, the Jake part took up 10 minutes. But, like, no, we've literally just been. having too much fun. I'm in. I'm for it. I'm for it. All right. So lifting history, when's you start? Why are you still doing it? You know, ups and downs? I started a little bit after high school. I was a pretty fat fuck for a while. And, uh, yeah, at some point, I was just like, I got a, I got to lose late. I think I was like,

God, I think it was like 285 at like my fattest. So I, I, lost a bunch of weight. I fucked up because I did it with cardio mostly, so I was like skinny fat still. And just been like going off waves here and there, but during COVID really like cemented that

I need to stay on a program. So I've just been doing started with oh god, what's it called? About 531, 5 by 5. Yeah. Just starting to do a commercial gyms and then

found my found the house I'm living in now in 2020 and then from there the home gym home gym started started watching like coop videos and I was like man the home gym

would be sweet now I'm here with a big ass functional trainer behind me but now I've comfortably lost weight and put muscle on and happy to be in this situation I'm hope to lose like

20, 30 more pounds and I get peeled one day just for one day and they go to pizza hut that next day oh 100% it's funny you talk about pizza hut

because of one of the bases in the area there is an old school buffet pizza hut and we would go there and get hammered eat pizza and then you know

hopefully not go back to work yeah I was going to say and then go well I was like, don't put yourself on blast there. Sean, I can't say that. Stuff. So what was the, the motivation?

So you know, you're a career welder. You just got a home gym. And then you're like, I'm going to throw content out there. So like, do you have a background in video editing of any sort or like, what's your,

it's like, I watch some of your videos. Like, it's, they're not half-assed with like the video editing and stuff. You're like throwing some, some sound effects. and da-da-da-da, like, little,

you added shit in your hands that weren't there. So, like, you're doing some neat stuff that I couldn't just do. I didn't really, like, I, most of the YouTube shit has just been trial by fire. Just figuring out watching videos to learn how to do videos. And just figuring out, okay, I should get an editing program. Okay, I have Capcut. Well, we can do this.

started with there actually one of my best friends he recent probably in the last like couple of months started helping the edit videos and he's been he's been doing full editing

for I think like seven or eight of my reviews and I've known this guy for 20 years and he was an Apple genius which I'm not sure what that entails mostly but makes people wait in line.

He asked him to go sit on a cube. I was fucking told to sit on a cube like four fucking times. Go sit on one of the cube chairs back there. I'm like, oh, fuck your shit. Yeah, yeah. That's what he does. All those rose led to dicks. Callback.

Thank you. Mall. He did, like in his little team that he did all the project videos. so, you know, he's got all the good editing software. And him and I have very similar comedic styles. And, you know, we're basically just a bunch of fucking nerds. So we vibe really well when it comes to like editing and ideas and such. So, yeah, started from there.

Now I'm here. Makes sense? any any uh goals to do any kind of competitions you know do a little power lifting a little strong man like any uh any

some people just some people have that motivation some people don't and that's good either way oh hold that's uh yep oh he's no no he's fixing he's adjusting he's adjusting yeah he's playing with his wiener okay he took his wiener out of his pants he's got his wiener in his hand it's very it's very average okay here he is

Okay, cool. Hey. All right. Hey, Sean. We're going on the podcast. New un-picked underrated content. Nothing average about me, boy. Yeah.

Keith is going to do dick rating videos. Normally you have to pay for that on only fans. But, yeah. I thought that was Siri, didn't we? Man, good thing. Hey. Hey. Speaking of content, I'm going to start only lifts here in a little bit.

Once I hit 500 subscribers on YouTube, I get to open up like memberships. membership perks. Oh, nice. Yep. I'm gonna start only lists. I'm gonna be like a speedo and I'll take a, I'll take, uh, I'll take thrive.

Then I love supporting my friends and all, but like, I can't do any more supporting memberships like anywhere. Like I guys, like I've already pay massanomics and gluck and I'm like, I'm, I'm good. I'm tapped out. Like, you have my support with a thumbs up, but the, I don't know. I get it people. It helps.

Like literally if you just get like 10 people to send you a couple bucks, that's like, that's like, that's not nothing that you. you can actually do something with. And I just, I don't, I don't have basement brandon money. I can't go support everybody. I jokingly put up a post that if,

if I get to 500 subscribers before Home GymCon, I'll take, uh, fringe sports sending me a four by eight, uh, banner. I'll wear it like a moo moo if I get to 500 subscribers before I get, before home gymcon.

That's a big banner. Four by eight. Yeah. All of people sign it in. shit, but I'll wear it under. Sign it while it's on your body. Yeah. Yeah. Of course.

Well, that's what one does is I've got the lift heavy shit with your friends, French sport banner that I've had people sign for the last decade or so. Well, no, just under, but. Yeah. Did I sign that? Yes. I think I counted them the other day, too.

I was up to like 60 signatures or something wild. I was like, oh, damn. I've had a lot of friends. A lot of friends here over the years. So I was asking, I think, when you switch your headphones out, any aspirations do any type of competing? Is that just your thing?

I'm playing around with the idea. After the lift hard, live easy. I'm going to think about competing. I did the garage gym competition, and I narrowed, well, I didn't really hit my goal. I wanted to hit,

I hit a thousand and three pounds, but I did all the specialty bars. Well, then you probably have 11 a minute because depending on what the bar is, I could have, you know, saying it could have hurt the lift. Yeah, it well I was uh I think like two or three days prior to I was like deadlifting and I tweak

something mm-hmm I'm like ah fuck and it was the last week to submit all your videos I'm like I'm just gonna have to we're just got to sack up for this one so had used a trap bar used uh nssb had to hat field it for like a little bit and then uh and then I had to uh the 225 bench was a struggle. It was I still haven't hit it wrong. You get there. But the Lift Hard-Lavisi, you're, are you actually kind of doing a prep for that or are you just kind of winging it? No, no, I'm doing

I'm doing drug and an ad-a-eye. Oh, nice. So you're actually like peeking into it because that's what, like that's three, that's like two or three weeks out. You guys are competing, right? Because you're a solid week before us. Yeah, I'm in the, I'm in the peeking block. I just hit the peeking blocks. I'll start that tomorrow. Nice. So I'll be boring.

Trying to put up big boy weights. Nice. That'll be fun. Stuff. Good stuff, huh? Hopefully you hit whatever your goals are. If not, there's always next year. All right. I hate to be the guy. I think he's gone.

He's gone. Interesting. Ow. Ow. I just got a foe cramp. Yeah, we can move on. Oh, I just got to fuck cramp, Keith. Oh, damn, we're two hours in.

Yeah. I was supposed to say, I hate to be the guy, but I'm going to have to move on. move this along and then he left. See you next Tuesday. Yeah, apparently. Oh man. All the bragging about not getting cramps and I just got like the worst fucking foot cramp. There he is. Yeah, my fucking earbuzz are shitting on me. Uh-huh.

It happens. We might start doing some lightning around stuff because we are, I know I feel bad if Jake kind of stole some of your time. But, um, yeah. Just go for it. Um, so probably ask you some funny or embarrassing. embarrassing facts. I've got several people that want some poop stories from you. I don't know if there's anything that stands out there. You want to share? If not, we can move on.

I've got some poop stories. So, probably my most famous one and probably who brought it up the most. So I just finished playing Magic the Gathering. I played in a tournament, played that competitively for quite a while. Nerd. Big old nerd.

In the best way. in the best way. Yeah, yeah. That's why I like the Sir Druthers episode so much. But anyway, I was driving me and a bunch of friends. We stopped at this Chinese place, like, sorely away from the venue. And I had to drop one friend at his dorm and then drive me and another guy back home. So I dropped my friend, one of the friends off at his dorm.

and I get on the road and my stomach is just cramping. Like it is, it's, it's like painful, cramping. I'm like, all right, I think I can make it. I think we can make it home. So we're driving down the road. And you know when you just start sweating profusely so bad? Yeah. Because you have to shit.

And I, oh, like, the windows are down. Still sweating. I guess the force of me keeping all this shit from exiting onto my seat. So driving down the road and at probably 10 minutes from my house, I was like, I can't, I have to stop. So I take this exit and go over a couple lanes. I'm sitting at a stoplight. And like I see the stoplight next couple lanes over to my left. I see a McDonald's

and a decision was made. I hopped out of the driver's seat impromptu Chinese fire drill in the middle of an intersection we're not in an other bad at a stoplight a hop over a median go over more lands of traffic hop over another median

and then immediately run into said McDonald's and just proceed to let the devil out of me and like do you ever take a shit so bad you feel cold air in a place with no windows

that's what it felt like I literally I felt so much cool relief yeah you're taking said shit and God is great what happened to your car so like

just put your car and park in traffic and just like abandon it that's it's funny of a fucking cop One of my other best friends, he knew what was happening. He tells a story very well because at one point, there is a small beat of sweat at the tip of my nose. And just the way he describes it, just hangs on for dear life as I'm speeding down the road, trying to not ship myself.

And so, yeah, at stoplight, Chinese fire drill, he gets out, gets in my car, goes to the McDonald's. I've just... Oh, okay, okay, I guess I missed that part. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Okay, I got sure. That makes more. All right.

And then, funny enough, after he drove my car to the McDonald's, he bought the same car. That is actually funny. All right. Well, you can always circle back to anything else if Joey wants to pick it out, but I was kind of start jumping into some games. So, fuck Mary Kill. I only got one submission, and it's the most confusing one in the world, but I'm going to run with it.

buddy Raymond. So listen closely because these are very in depth. And I don't know if he understands how the game's played, because it's kind of confusing, but we'll wing it and we'll just do it. Do it live. So fuck Mary kill. Number one. A doppelganger who's slightly better at

everything. Number two. A talking horse with the mind of Sarah Jessica Parker. Number three, one of those anime body pillows. All right. Say that again. All right. So you got me?

a doppelganger who's slightly better at everything a doppelganger that's slightly but I don't know we might have to just scrap this because it's very confusing but your buddy submitted it so I figured maybe it was an inside joke that you would get a doppelganger who's slightly better at everything a talking horse with the mind of Sarah Kedester Parker

or one of the body an AMA body pillow if that doesn't make sense to you we'll just scrap it because it doesn't make any sense to me but it's the only one submitted so I don't get it yeah we're going to move on one more time my head okay

all right I think we're I don't think it's gonna land so what do you got from Mount Rushmore uh jeez I got I got flooded

with Mount Rushmore's didn't I yeah they give all the I'm just I should have stolen some shit from there but yeah let's go metal bands Mount Rushmore metal bands

oof um as far as like real influence I'm going to go First one I put up a Slayer I went to go see them at a small venue which if you see them in a small venue is worth it

I'm going to go Slayer Lamb of God because they are somewhat local to me They're from Richmond which is like an hour and a half away from me I'm going to go Who's going to be the other two I'm going to say corn

only because there were my first concert I went to and the first time I've ever seen women flash so holds a special place in my heart boobies yes

and then I would probably say system of a down because there's a story they were headlining at Ozfest one year and this was we snuck a friend of mine

we told his mom we were doing something else because he wasn't allowed to go to the concert but really wanted to so we said Yolo let's go and he ended up getting he went to Mosh during system of down got punched in the nose bled all over his t-shirt so we had

to clean up the blood and ditch his t-shirt before we dropped him off at his house. So that's a memory I will always keep. That seems easier than just making up an excuse. Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, we were playing hockey. We were doing anything other than a mosh pit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're watching cop videos.

We were watching cops. We were watching cops. Yeah, right. good work, good work. Affiliates, Barbell Rescue, Home JimCon, and of course, the number one, Jim Radar.

Use code unpaid at all of those. Barbell rescue, helping you keep your barbells clean. Home JimCon, as heard earlier, and Jim Radar, as discussed very thoroughly today. All right. Unpaid or underrated as a fruit fly in my face.

All right there, Big Sean, you ready? Unpaid or underrated? You familiar? Let's go for it. Yep. All right. So if it's unpaid, it's not very good. It sucks.

And underrated is positive and good. I've been adding shit to this all night. Yeah, there's some good ones. I'm going to have to pick. I know what I'm going to go with, at least for the last one. All right. So I don't know what the hell this is. I had to like Google the translation.

And let's go with, uh, Romantusi books. Romantacy. Romantici. That's not literally what that words. Romantici. It is. It is exactly what that word says. Romanticy. Why did I have a heart? That's romance novels. Who writes Romanticy? Like that's... Yeah.

Okay. I know exactly what this is from. It just came off looking weird. I'm having a brain seizure. Yeah. My wife reads a lot of those books. And I have to pick one. I'm going to say underrated because I've benefited from a lot of the things she's red. Correct.

100% correct. Yes. Yep. I mean, nudge, nudge, wink, wink, as the actor said to the bishop. But yep, can't confirm. For all the people out there, I made a big wink.

Yeah. Right after he waved this morning. Yes. All right. Unpaid or underrated the TV show, which I'm assuming that's what it is. Heated robbery. Okay. Big Manny's favorite. I have to pick one.

So I'm assuming you've watched it all, right? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Same. I broke down and watched it the other day. It was interesting. I'm For the story solely for the story I'm going to say underrated I think it's a It's a good love story

Just just Just helps with the heart But I like sports shows There's some sports Yeah yeah It's not your Rudy's It's not

It's a little different It's no Shorzy Yeah it's a little different Yeah exactly Yeah It did make It did make me one of There's one character in it that

That really really has me doing a lot of RDLs And glute exercises That ass to pop Oh my god My wife told me my ass looks bigger And I've been chasing that high ever since Yes I mean I guess you get a glute pump

Like that's a thing It's just the same as any other muscle Like you're doing some squats and some RDLs You definitely have some popping hamstrings and glute Trying to get a don't All right. Well, I'm hoping this one leads to a really funny story. So unpaid or underrated Swiss rules. God damn it. Absolutely unfucking paid. So I must have been one of my parents. We were on a trip to Erie, Pennsylvania, because we have long time friends I live up there.

And this is back in the 90s. So we were in the 90s. So we were in. the 94 aeros and my parents great idea was to take out the middle seat of the van so my my sister and I would just like lay blankets down and

lay down in the car whilst going down the interstate again no seat belts yellow during this time I am housing Swiss rolls because I'm hungry and I learned real quick that I shouldn't read while I'm in a car

and I get car sick. I then proceed to open the window, put my head out the window, and vomit all on the side of this aerostar van. It went from red to brown real quick. And my sister's losing it. I'm losing it because I was like

five at the time. So I'm like deeply distraud. and then I find out the outstanding part is that my favorite Teenage Muti Ninja Turtle pillow case had to get thrown away because it had so much bond on it. Oh, no. But with how much of how funny my mom is, she found a similar pillow for me for my like 38th birthday.

Oh, that's actually really cool. is fucking sweet that is cool but swissos suck and I your sister got you a Christmas ornament of it did you keep that or did you break it

and does that of spite no no it's still still on my fucking Christmas tree or still in my own in the box and you haven't have you okay so that was five you literally so

how much is a mental thing like does your wife eat them in front of you or does your kids or anything like I mean because the Swiss bowl is an acquired taste like especially If it's stale, it is ass, but if it's like fresh and moist, which is pretty damn good.

It's just keeping the joke up, really. Okay, okay, that's fair. I can respect that. All right. Bonus, since you had mentioned it, unpaid or underrated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, being included in your wedding vows. I'm going to say,

underrated, specifically the 1990 version, version. Yeah. Because I can quote it word for word and even included one quote in my vows

when I got married. Nice. That's what I heard. And funny enough, that brings us full circle to Pizza Hut because do you remember you had the VHS in one of the opening pre-pre-view was literally a Pizza Hut commercial with a little kid playing baseball. That popped up on my Instagram feed

the other day and I watched the whole like three-minute thing and I'm like, I think this is a Pizza Hut commercial or something. And I'm like, sure enough it was. And it was like from Tangerine Nisturals, VHS, which was just wild to remember. I think damn here, it was my house. brought me back like 35 years later. It was wild. All right.

I'm good. That's good stuff. What was the line you put in your vow, though? I was going to ask that. Yeah. Fair. Fair. It's a wise men say forgiveness is divine, but never pay full price for late pizza.

Nice. I thought it would have been. Yeah, a little too wrath. Okay, unpaid or underrated. The It reboot. Keith. Control, delete.

Really? Oh, I don't know. The movie It. The Pennywise the clown movie. The A reboot. Oh, I like them. I'm going to say, underrated.

I'm about welcome to dairy for it welcome the dairy was fantastic fucking great show I can't wait for the other seasons yeah yeah I his penny wise I know nostalgia makes people of our generation be like no it was Tim Curry no this dude is a very good and scary penny wise yeah yeah what was the word you used to describe invincible earlier because that was what squelchy that was it was very squelty episode of uh the ending opening episode of Welcome to the game. And actually, I almost stopped watching because of that because I was like, this is stupid.

This is super spelchy. A lot of moistness. Yeah. And I was like, I'm not going to watch it again. But then I watched it again and it got better and better and better. Unpaid or underrated. Mark Henry. Ooh.

I'm going to say, underrated. Not only were his wrestling accomplishments. pretty astounding, but just his lifting, or look into it's like his lifting career. Like, I'm pretty sure he still holds records, like to this day. Yes, combined records, but I don't think he holds any single records, but yeah, no, you're correct. And he won the first Arnold.

Like, there's, yeah, what do you say about that? He won the first Arnold. Yeah. Okay. Unpaid or underrated. chain pants from Hot Topic. Oh, fuck yeah. They're not sponsors.

They're not for expenses. I'm going to say unpaid because you have to take the chains off before you put them in the dryer because they will destroy your dryer or they will absolutely rip your pants to throw. Yep.

I wore a lot of those in high school. same one last one I hear you're a big horror movie guy yes okay unpaid or underrated horror movies that end in time travel

I'm gonna say unpaid yeah honestly it just kind of like all the fun that you just had can be erased and like eh yeah like the butterfly effect

I don't know if you I remember that one yeah Ashton Coucher that whole thing's time travel and there was four endings depending on which DVD ending you picked it was all completely different yeah it's like that ones I was talking about it today

it's just one of those things like I'll be so invested in a movie and it's like a supernatural horror and you're like okay this is cool this is creepy and then at the end it was him the whole time from the past and I just check out like I immediately go from like eight of 10 to zero. It's a zero every fucking time they do it. It's so phoned in. Yeah. And it's so crazy.

Yeah. Yeah. There's so much more you could have done. But you're just like, ah, this guy. Yeah. It was him the whole time. He was talking to himself. Oh, you didn't see that coming. You're fucking right. I did. Like, yeah. There's so many better movies that do that. And it's just like horror is not a great idea for that to occur. Yeah. Yeah. Like, you need. You need some type of finality in horror. You need the guy to die or him to kill everyone. But it turns out it was him the whole time from the past.

From the past. Yeah. Oh, you didn't see it coming. Okay, good. I'm not the only one. I hate that shit. And I, like, I'll rate a movie zero right off the bat. I will be into the movie right up until the end credits.

And then they go, by the way, it was him the whole time. And I'm like, nope, fucking zero. Fuck. All right. Trash. All right. I think you passed unpaid and underrated. Yeah. Okay. We are going on two and a half hours. We didn't do the second round of affiliates, did we? We did. What do you have for us?

Yeah, buddy. I'm going to give you non-lifting podcasts that you listen to. Oh. I don't even... I listen to it. I don't even... I listen to it. yeah, I got a few. Let me, I'm going to pull it up. No, I've, I, what am I listening to you right in this? So, non- um,

oh damn. So basically, uh, chat the movies. It's a, uh, 80s and 90s movie review podcast. Love that. Hell yeah. Watchable's similar thing, but it's more modern. It's like 2000s to modern movies. Big movie guy. I like it. I watch, I do, I know, there's a couple different Cleveland Browns podcast. as a Cleveland Browns fan. Interesting. And then, like,

I'll kind of lump a lot of them together, but, like, I listen to a handful of different TV shows, like, recaps of the episode, depending on what it is. Like, like,

more in-depth, like, Yellowstone does stuff, a lot of the HBO. Like, like, there's, anything in the Game of Thrones world,

it's nice to kind of have a recap episode of that, and like a, you know, just more of a companion, it's similar to just watching a, companion show, YouTube video. Yeah, so stuff like that.

But there's different shows that I come and go on how I, if I feel that I need to invest any more time into that show, or I'm like, all right, I watched it. It's done and over with. But it's some of them I do kind of dive back into. I did get Stephanie to watch Night of the Seven Kingdoms with me. She initially did not want to watch it after watching Game of Thrones because she tried, she didn't like the other,

the House of Dragons. She hated House of Dragons after like a half an episode. Yeah. And I think she just assumed that Night of the Second Kingdom, Kings was going to be dumb, so she didn't even try it with me. And I was like, no, dude, like, I finally talked her into it, and we watched the entire thing last weekend in, like, two sittings. So for my second.

Yeah, I need to get into that. Oh, it's good. It's very good. It's very good. It's very, very enjoyable. If you like, big weiner. There's a lot of big weeners in that one. Yeah, yeah. Weeners, weeners. So big. Pretty much, yeah.

Nice. Good question. I do have one. for Joey. Hit me. Joey, this is going to be your Mount Rushmore

of gimmicky wrestling finishers. Like, gimmicky wrestling finishers, like shitty finishers that should not be finishers. Yes.

Oh, wow. Most of them, most of them. Like, there's so many that are so stupid. You don't,

a leg drop would like incapacitate you. Yeah, that's actually, now that you bring it up, that's probably number one is Hulk Hogan's leg drop. What a shitty finisher. It's got to be up there. It's so, it was so

yeah, but it was Hulk Hogan at the time, right? And that was how it goes. Yeah. Sol Ruka right now is doing a flipping cutter and it looks good and she's kind of talented.

I don't think she's ready for the level she's at right now with Becky Lynch, but that's pretty gimmicky. The soul snatcher, it doesn't make any sense. Like a weird RKO variant. Yeah, she goes on the middle rope and then does a flip into the RKO. Yeah.

And like the setup required is stupid. She's missing a lot of them. So I'll go with Sauruka. on that one. The one that Cody Rhodes used to do where he would put his leg over your head and then flip it into

like a weird neck breaker. It doesn't make sense. It doesn't hurt. It wouldn't do anything. I can't believe that was a finisher ever. I'll put that one up there. And anybody that does the bear hug, the bear hug is a bad finisher.

like from start to finish. As you tap it is that like a tap out one then? Yeah, like you just pick up, you pick somebody up and you just squeeze them until they tap out. It's so easy to escape because your hands and arms and legs are free. Yeah, you just hit them in the head. Yeah, and like you're just standing there like wiggling. Like, oh, this hurts.

Oh, this hurts. Oh, this hurts. And the sharpshooter and all that are like, they're not. You can't get out. Like you're locked in. But the bear hug. It's just so, like, I'm just going to hug you until you tap out. Please don't hit me in the face.

That's just what I want to do to my friends at Lift Out of Easy. I just want to hug people. It's not a wrestling move. Well, Dodds will do it to you. He'll get you good. Mother, yeah. What's your opinion on the shattered dreams? Are we talking the kick to the nuts?

Yes. Execution, terrible, concept, incredible. Because nobody could do that but him. Right? Like, he did the whole, like, body rub. Again, I'm a Gold Dust fan. Always have been. Yeah.

But, like, it was very evident. He was kicking the turnbuckle, not you. Like, if they had, like, figured out how to film that in a way that doesn't make it so obvious. Yeah. That move was incredible. Because only Gold Dust could get away with that shit. That's like the stink face. The stink face was fucking stupid.

Is that Rishi's ass to the face? Yeah, that was a Tucci's ass to the face. Yeah. That's going to be the worst. I was literally, before you even said that, I was going to be a follow-up. Like, is that, like, the most degrading worst, like, way to glue, like, just to take that 400-pound man's ass in your face? Like, that can't-well. Like, it wasn't a finisher, right?

Like, it was a mid-match, like. I guess that makes sense. Yeah, it was a hype move. Yeah. The crowd pop. Like the Bronco Buster. Yeah, yeah, yeah, also a stupid move. Yeah.

Right? You're just sitting on my test over and over. Yeah, and literally, that's all you're doing. You're just jumping on me, which. your legs over the turnbuckle. But I mean, that's somebody who's like keen to wrestling

and like how they do those things. Those are stupid moves. But yeah, I'm going to go with those four, for sure. Solid, solid list. That's,

uh, it for me as far as what I can think of. That's outstanding. That's outstanding. Because I am ready for fucking bed. I got a, I'm going to go throw rocks tomorrow.

Can you read the chat on there? Me? No, the guest. Can you read the chat? I just want you to read what your friend submitted and see if that makes any sense to you. This can, this can, if not, that's all, no, he's. No, he's just switching the screen. Oh, I got you, I got you. It's not a big deal.

I just, I still don't understand. But it was all good. We can start, I'll start doing an outro here, probably. I just wanted to give you the opportunity to see it because, Yeah, because I think because I had to pop in and pop out. Oh, the chat's gone. So, okay, no worry about it. No worries.
