The USAPL national meets have grown to epic proportions in the past several years. For 2024, the meet is already full, even though many lifters will have to make qualifying totals sometime before nationals. Is this the best way to ensure that the best lifters will actually be in the meet?
We also hit on a number of other topics, including how it feels to have left a bad situation. Our own Avi Lieu (@avi.lieu), Kyle Castro (@kyle.castroo) Sebastian Brambila (@sebastian_brambila), and Matt Ogihara (@matt_ogi) joined us for this one.

0:08 Baby let it rip? Was that your generation, Mike Bay Blade, Babe Blade, I know what my generation, I know what it was, but we definitely didn't. Yeah I can hear you now, okay, oh no, but I know what it is. My generation was Pog's pog Champ no, way before po Champ. I'm trying to like the first American like cartoon to come see you then or Japanese American sorry to come see me, like like America like yeah, Pokemon, no, because Pokemon's Japanese, like remember like that weird what the fuck is this kid talking about them? Bro like digimand where it was like made by an American creator, but it's Jaman Power Rangers Okay, yeah, probably power Rangers. Daniel was a power Ranger.
0:55 Do you do you follow the the red Ranger red redcher guy? Follow him? He interesting? Is that the Yoshi guy what's his name? It's one of the what are the two brothers, the Filipino brothers and one of them or both of them was were power Rangews well only in the suit, right, Yes. I think that was the big thing is that they were like on JK or something. Oh really? Oh the Choreographersaro bros. Yeah, I think I met him. Yeah, I think they did fight choreography, and then they might have been in the suit because that was like the whole thing I figured out, you know, age twelve. Yeah, yeah, blew my mind because it was obviously a white dude, a nerdy white dude, and a black dude. I never found that out till right now.
1:40 Yeah. But then in the suits there are you know, Japanese and Filipino dudes doing backflips. Yeah, you want to see some cool What that was? Kids? Weird? Where did you find I don't do you not take it? Toxoplasmosis from the cat. I don't know what that is. It's a disease, but so many people have disease crazy causes, compulsions maybe, and weird behaviors. I've been just kicking it on fucking med dot com.
2:21 She got dementia Alzheimer's, so it's all right, it's not COVID. Don't worry. Yeah, Alzheimer's isn't contagious. Who I said? It was nice knowing? You do? I know you do? After that Yoshi party trick, No Big Bang mic it's the Red Power Ranger. I don't know big thing, the original He's the original Red Guy. Yeah. No, wait, that's the original actor. Well, I don't think it's the first one. I mean there's been there have been multiples, but he definitely was a Red Ranger. Are we recording he just got cons and stuff? No, I don't know. I know, I know because I know the face of the original. That's all I watched. Then I won't gossip. We're pretty no gossip out. You can always gossip by saying by being vague about be vague about what you're talking about and say allegedly a lot, and you can gossip all you want. Yeah, or so I heard, So I heard.
3:19 Yeah, I don't think I could get around. I don't say name. Yeah, that's for the After Hours podcast. I mean we could put it on Patreon. I could do that in the second. Actually, I have it set up now where somebody can pay. I don't have it going, but you could. We could set it up. It is set up so that we could do episodes that people could have to pay monthly to get there. You oh, so we could do that drama? Just cut it out time. Let's see how we're how you can dance, general, you can you can leave your friends? What did you two. Take definitely leaving your friends behind. If you didn't like, well, my friend, just get your story a little bit. Or maybe they're not. Maybe a few of us have left our friends behind already. Yeah, we certainly did that.
4:14 Are looking at me talking about I'm talking about how I left some friends behind. Okay, that happened, and then some of my friends also left those friends behind. Oh some people are You're cutting people out of your life. We were talking about that in the last this is Yesterday's podcast. Yes, oh yeah, Well I'm saying, like I you, the is the issue. Why we can't talk about it because it's about you. I left, I left, and people also left after me. I'm a trends hutter. I'm glad. I'm kind of glad that I did. And then oh yes, and then every thing's kind of like followed in suit behind me.
4:55 But I'm like, what the hell. It's like a damn breaking it's validating, but like, all right, yeah, let's see how we can turn this into a life lesson. I think, don't wait for other people to stand up for you. That's good, do it yourself. Stranger danger and knowing that when you stand up for yourself, you're very much, running the risk of breaking a situation so that you cannot continue in it. Trust me on this, like a cycle, what do you mean breaking? No? If if If you're in a position where you need to stand up for yourself and you haven't for a long time, and then you do, chances are you are going to break the situation in such a way that you cannot continue being with the person around the person that you stood up to. I see.
5:47 Yeah, yeah, it can be high stakes because you have to evaluate like the other person and their reasonableness and their willingness to understand boundaries, and their regard for like other humans. Yeah, and I mean that's true, but that shouldn't necessarily prevent you from doing it anyway. No, one hundred percent agree. That's not my point. I'm just saying that that it's it can be like beware, be cautious. Yeah, it can be. It can be a sharp left turn, high risk, high reward. Baby maybe so maybe so we other What are you thinking? I was trying to wrap it all up, because there's the if we want to dive into situations like that where you're talking friendship or work relationship or dating relationships, they all have very similar veins to kind of guess what we're speaking about. And some of it is is on you, right, we're all we're all throwing this on them in the situation. But some of it is how do we move into a situation. Not that you can tiptoe into every situation, right, because when you're dating someone, like eventually it's got to be you know, we're dating and you have to go in. Yeah. And same with the job, right, you can't always tiptoe around jobs. It's like i'm working here, I'm not working here. Commit yeah. Yeah, but but yeah, just as much as like boundaries, uh, being recognized by another person matter, just as much as the boundaries that you slowly build. If you walk
7:17 into a situation with the wall, you're probably not getting anywhere. Right. There's people, and I'm one of them, right, That's where I'm fucking the old dog guy. Cat lady does we like the old cat lady. But I don't like cats. And I'm not a woman. You know, the crazy cat lady that lives alone. It just looks at internet cats all day. I just look at internet dogs. Yeah, because I got that big wall. But but but I know what I'm doing, you know, but you can't have this big wall and just like step into situations with this huge wall and expect anything to work through, anything to work. Yeah, for them just to recognize that wall. Yeah, you know, you got to you gotta build it up, you gotta communicate it, You got to do it with actions. You got to do it with And you know, a lot of the particular situations we're probably speaking of, you know, those those may lie on other responsibilities. But it's not always the case. It's not always the case that you know, most things tend to be two ways always, and it's just so easy to look one way, right because I guess what I'm getting at. But I think a lot of that a lot of the time, maybe most of the time, it has to do with like poor communication too. Yeah, like either somebody doesn't talk to you about what's going on, you don't express your feelings, or what they tell you isn't true. Yes, yes, So I think I try to evaluate situations and in most cases, it's what can I do? What have I not done yet? Like if I am if there are many conflicts that are happening, do they know that have I given them a chance to fix it or
8:50 work on these things. So I can't I can't have a and an outright like an outburst and be unreasonable if I haven't communicated it in the first place. Yea, and probably multiple ways. So the big thing about people think about communication is they think it's talking, but it's not. Communication is good back and forth, right, It's only communication if you're receiving what I'm putting out. Otherwise I'm just talking to you. Right. The communication comes at how I sent the message is also how you receive a message, you know. Yeah, because everyone just worried, well, well I told them, Well, how the fuck do you tell them? Do you tell them a passive away? Did you tell them in a joking way, did you tell them in an official email? Did you tell them in a meeting? You know, like, how did you communicate it with your words and your body language? Is it being received? Because then it could still be on you, you know, not you you're actually a pretty decent communicator, but generally speaking. Yeah, and then it's not like it's not like one and done.
9:45 It's not like I have there's one one bump in the road and I'm like, all right, that's it. You know, clearly things aren't working. It's like you try and you give chances. He ate my pop tart, we're breaking up. Well that is a one and done. Yeah, don't if you eat the last of whatever, you know, the last cinnamon brown cinner and cinnamon sugar. Yeah. I mean, I'm not a big pop tart fan, but the banana bread pop tart really that really banana bread pop tart? Fucking yeah. Sometimes I feel like if you're taking something that's just as easily eaten and putting it into another form, you should just eat the thing. Ba bread. Yeah, I agree. I would rather banana bread than we're like, we're like a like a Smores pop dart. Ain't nobody making a s'mores so you're gonna have a smor can. But that's what I mean, Like, if it ain't fresh, I ain't want it, I know, but it's almost as easily attainable. Not good one. Maybe it's like McDonald's, Like I think the pop tarts like McDonald's. It's like an easily accessible you know, it's gonna be like made, but it slaps every time, I know. But McDonald's is its own thing. You're not getting the connection difference, no, because they don't have. They don't have a Ribbi item there that would be the reference. So what you're saying is that if you want banana bread, you shouldn't resort to the pop tart when it said wait until you're well, you're willing to make banana bread or no, you could find her. Yeah, you can find it easily, is my point. But yeah, almost as easy as a pop start. Although
11:16 I think that like commercially available banana bread is probably not very much better than a banana bread prop tard that I don't know. I'm not a banana bread connoisseur or and I don't love it. But if you go to the local grocery store and you go to the bakery, there's going to be a banana bread. That's true. Yeah, but it's not good. That's what I don't know. I don't like banana bread really. I mean, I'll eat anything, I'm fat, but I'm conversation. I'm never walking I'm never walking by a bakery and picking up a fucking banana bread. First. What the coffee? No, I would rather have like a coffee cake, almost anything? Really? What about a carrot cake? Love? Yeah, I'm not going there either. It's in front of me. I'm eating it cream cheese, frosting, cream cheese, frosting, walnuts, no raisins. Get that, no raisin to cure your nuts out of here too? In the texture, well, pecan pi slav or not? It depends, mom makes him crazy by the the west? You what the fun did you just say?
12:13 I don't know? It's pecan pi? Know? What did you just say? The isn't? Who as they? And what are you mumbling? Is it in the west like pecana is in the west? The West? Oh, he's speaking Spanish, speaking Spanish? Crazy crazy. I had to I had to get a comformation that was crazy that way because I was looking at you so hard what the normal name was and I was like, ship, what is it? Pecan nuts? Bro? He's laughing at bad? Your Spanish is nuts? Is? I just like how it's a Japanese guy speaking Spanish with a with a hood inflection. That's I don't know by in the west? What is that? I had no clue. But do you like it or no? Ye? My mom's that's probably the only one I've had.
13:05 That's probably the only one I have. I don't like that. It's just like syrup with I'm not a big fan to describe like that, isn't it caramel? It's like coup. I don't even know what to camel situation. Yeah, moms tastes like caramel. Yeah, that's what it's supposed to jump it in an ice cream carmel camer. It's just yeah, yeah, carmel camer. I don't know. We should take two seconds and say, I'm Jim, that's Mike. Oh, hello, I'm a Vy. That's whoa, he's Matt and all right, onward di spliss Wait can you can you speak through that? Yes, he's heard him. He's the guy.
13:54 That's so cool. Yeah, he's the guy. Now he's in it. He's the googler. And we kept talking and people couldn't hear him, so like, you know, yeah, yeah, I don't know the tea, but now I need the tea. What is that? What I mean? I know, I know the ballpark we're talking in. I mean, it's not a big it's not a big deal. What about the USA p L T BRO get them talking the wrong person? No, not get him. I just feel like I've been so I feel like I'm distancing. I am an island that's kind of broken off and like I'm slowly floating away. I don't think islands work like that. They move very slowly, distancing out.
14:35 I think they're growing from the ground. Glaciers, glacier. I'm a glacier and I broke off, and I'm a penguin. Lone penguin, the rare white one that they found recently. There's a picture of it. Yeah, but it's kind of like pink. I don't know. You know where most of the penguins hang out, Argentina. Yeah. Yeah, if you want to go see penguins soon to go to Argentina, why, I don't know, I'm not God, it seems like a good place to be. Yeah, yeah, I don't think it because they were berg Yeah they're not the Nazis. Yeah, they're down there too, though they are. Yeah.
15:16 Yeah, we need to watch that show some us. Which one the Tim Kennedy I'm done? Yeah Hitler? Yeah, Tim Kennedy was hired on a private investigation and go fine, descendants of Hitler and the Nazis in Argentina and they filmed the whole thing. Oh my god. Yeah, did they kill him? No, he's frozen next to Walt Disney. You know. I'm talking about like we kill him like his descendants. I don't think an American special option allowed to just go down their bop things on it History on a History Channel TV documentary Twitter. Yeah, so you're saying it's not like Reacher where they kill people and there's like no repercussion at all. I do think the world is like that, but probably not on the documentary that got the funding for We Can Go to patagon Yeah, is it just? Is it just? What is that like mountains, ice and penguins got? You got mountains, you got ice, you got lags, you got open fields, you got I don't think there's a lot of you got. No, there's definitely fields. It's like Antarctica, brother, but there's like is it really not cold? Yeah, it's literally like touches. It's like Greenland, Yeah, in the south, but it's like it might be further, it might be closer to the pole than Greenland. I see Argentia is super long and it's literally the tip Yeah yeah, yeah of South America. Yeah, it's literally all ice. Interesting. No, I want to go. One of my friends Christy May went and Ben Yeah, you actually want to go?
16:48 Maybe? I mean it's Argentina and penguins are pretty cool. There's somebody someone in my Instagram I can't remember who it was now, Like this is not like their job or anything. It's just they and they hadn't boasted for a couple of years and suddenly they're on this cruise in like you know, South America, down toward Antarctica, and like all their videos are penguins. There's so many penguins, like, tons and tons and tons and tons of penguins. What's good an uncountable number of penguins. It's good that they're not extinct or you know, yeah, so you see the orca fucking swallow them up. I don't know if Argentina being cool and Patagonia and penguins being cool is enough for homebody Mikey to like, actually, yeah, it would be like a big group thing. You know, I'd be seeing my family, okay, or you reunion, yeah, okay, because we're like we're like central of Argentina. I mean it's pretty long. It's probably it's probably taller than the US is tall, okay, you know, yeah, and yeah we're in the middle and there you go see somengins and then the top side, the top side is more like tropical because it's real close to Brazil and ship in the equator. Yeah, you go to the top. That's a lot distance. It's the dangly bit. Yeah, it's real long of ye you land America. I mean even either way, it's long. You know, you're you're talking about fifteen hours. You end up in Buenos Aires, which is really north and then you got like a four hour drive to my family
18:22 already. Is that that's the capital of Argentina. Oh, it's like the major major city. There's some others, but I see and your family's there. We're in the middle of nowhere. Well, that would be cool, and that would be that'd be a fund of vlogs. That would be a nutty log. Penguins hanguins always pins are cool. And then you should turn into a world traveler vlog. Oh yep, all that. Oh yeh, come on, don't know. If he goes to a trip in Argentina, he's out for like the rest of the year. That's a lot. That's a lot of flying, a lot of flying, not that you're not used to that. Yeah, it's just one plane for a long time. You know. It's like I think you go like Houston or Chicago to Buen Side is like a fucking nine hour banger. Any trips do you have this year?
19:15 Mexico City sometime this month, next month, but not set yet. Hopefully, hopefully we'll set that tonight. Uh, New York City in June. Talking to some friends about a trip to Chicago in maybe late April. May like a lot a dude's trip. There's a lot even like just for the beginning of the years. Pizza traveling like that, I did. I do like pizza deep pia deep deep dish pizzas. I don't know. I'm hoping for one, but we'll see what happens. No Nats, no coaching coaching them, three athletes going. I mean, I've heard Utah is cool.
20:07 I do want to touch on the subject. I know you're a floating island, but I feel like the same thing that happens with the usapl this year happens every single year. And I don't know if it's because the it's a newer generation and like COVID's like gone gone now, you know, or like two years where like powerlifting semi back to normal. But this has happened since like twenty sixteen, has been an issue what people who qualify or are higher level lifters having to do a Nike Jordan release click off to get in, you know what I mean, rather than prioritizing it by ranking or prioritizing it opening it up first, especially now that they have pros or and I did reread it and I heard that pros are getting invited. But yeah, it's kind of always been a clickoff, know, yeah, I mean there's just been takes on every side, and one side's like ripping them apart, and I'm like, like, are you guys brand new? Like this has been happening, and then and then they're blaming it, like oh, this is just a money game and this and that which has been happening. But then I guess the newest take is I saw the side defending the usapl that it's not about money, And then I'm thinking the back of my head, like you think these guys have been all of a sudden flip the coin and they're all altruistic and they're just really doing it for the love of the game.
21:26 Yeah, a lot of things would be different if that were the case. Well, it's just it's just not the case anywhere. I mean, that's the world we live in. Like literally, businesses have one mission, and their mission is to make money. Yeah, that's non nonprofits often the same story. No, you have to but otherwise you can't do it. Yeah, but I mean, like not the heads of nonprofits make a ton of money. Their salary is crazy. And how hard does the work? I don't know. Fundraising is difficult, but like three difficult? Yeah, I mean it depends on the organization, right, Yeah, non profits are it's a giant spectrum. Most of the big nonprofits have have CEOs with giant paychecks. I know, I know I'm saying the work oh, because you're saying, like how much work is I was like, well, yeah, running a one scout girl scout in sacks probably not hard. But if you run in a worldwide organization, I don't think it's easy. No, it's built just like a company. I mean, being a CEO anywhere is tough.
22:21 That's just like a lot of shit to handle. You just need money to do shit. Yeah, so people want money, Well yeah, I mean you literally, the USAPL would not be the USAPL if it did not money. So I understand that concept. But yeah, I think I think it makes sense about the qualifying total. If you don't have one and you're registering and saving us, you're reserving a spot. I mean, I understand the how people can be very upset if they're like, oh, I signed up, and I mean apparently there's already going to be a change. Is that the biggest drama is that there was no qualifying at all so you can at all. Yeah, you just have to have it by the time you show up, and NATS is the thing, so there's a bunch of people, so there is a qut then, yes, there is. People were signing up right right right, you could do like a yeah, like a like a pro formal one. Yeah, that's stupid. I think that's weird.
23:07 That's weird. But but then but then then they really have to tighten up their schedule, right because when is NATS August except this year I believe it's September, right, So then like, yeah, why are we opening it up reservations now? Like they're obviously going to sell out, But now you have nine months, literally nine months more than half the year, not getting people time to why Yeah, they haven't qualified because they haven't competed. It's it's literally jan tent for the money. I don't know. Because people are going to register, they're going to right, Like, you have data that shows these people are going to sign up. You have memberships, yeah, you they have data to guarantee it. I agree. If you're opening it like nine eight, nine months ahead of time people are going to sign you're gonna have this issue because no one's going to risk not having a spot.
23:53 And it can't be that complicated, like they have to have a fuck a basic Excel sheet of every total ever, right, that's like their job is to collect all this data. Then why don't you literally just send invites one by one and you have twenty four hours to click. Yes, that seems reasonable. It should also be feels to me like it should be a training cycle, so like a twelve week training cycle plus a couple of weeks. Yeah, maybe a sixteen week sign up. Yeah, yeah, that seems pretty normal. I mean that's what regular meets aim for sixteen weeks ishue. But yeah, if you get every total top to bottom in the last twelve months and you just start inviting them in chunks of twenty five per weight class or whatever, yeah, like I literally just made that up right now, imagine if it was my job, like you could think of some shit to do. It doesn't have to Yeah, I don't really understand it, and I don't understand that. I guess I don't understand the bitching either, because I guess you just keep bitching till it changes. But people act like this is new. I was thinking the same thing, like I never care enough about it to really say anything and like talk about it. I don't know it's a big deal until I see it more on social media. Sure, and then I'm like, oh, yeah, I guess, and I understand, like the people who say something about it is probably what that's what gets eyes on it, right, changed to happen. But then I'm not gonna partake in that. But then I guess the new maybe old angry mic thinks like all right, like yeah, are even the content creators that are bitching? Are they bitching to make a change? Are they even altruistic or like? Content game is hard now, especially in fitness because there's no news.
25:22 Are they just bitching because they need content to talk about people? Yeah, they need ship to talk about it. You're like, yeah, right, I mean whyse the news all fun? Because they need bullshit to talk about every day, so they find bullshit. Why are you talking about it because of you? And I'm a content creator, because you're the you're the Arnold Champion, because I got the Arnold Champion on the show. It's about to be a year since then, so like it's that's just you're washed up already. Yeah, I'm washed it's old news. Your old news. My my island is so far I need binoculars to see what's going on over there. You know Glacier Yeah, Glacier islands, brother, I mean yeah, they move that. They don't. Islands were born from underneath. Dude, my ice ice draft whatever, my ice haenglin raft. Yes, you ever played monkey ball? Yeah, that's a good game. Who didn't know about it? Were talking about one of the monkeys are in the balls? Said looks, oh yeah. Kyle said that r J looked like the monkey character he does a little bit. I don't know if you guys noticed, but the waiter that we had on Saturday night for our staff dinner looked a lot like r J is like older, taller relative. I wasn't there, and he wandered to that one in Hey, guys, remember when like we had the best person I've ever had and you were sick. Yeah, that was that sucked. I forgot until Matt mentioned it in the text, and I'm
26:55 like, damnit, I'm gonna miss it. Man. I was trying to make no, I mean give me time to cry. Yeah, let you guys know it. Lets you reanalyze and assassin. I told you we're going we'll go rollerblading. What was the other idea we had? We had another idea? Yeah, we do golf. Range is fun golfriend just top top golf. Here, we do top golf. It's just cold. We do that in like a march. They got the heater. They got a heat up there top golf. Yeah, and even even uh Hagen has something. They got a little heater, a little one. Yeah, it's just cold off rollerblading now indoors, some funky music. I'm not a big fan of That's what everyone said. But that's the kind of thing you just gotta do it because it'd like to find something that twelve people all love. Besides, food is gonna be tough. You just choose and you just start scratching them off. It's not like we're going rollerblading every Friday. Yeah, but it's like, all right, time to walk in a circle. Everyone. Do you know what sport you competed? It's more fun, No, it's more it's less dynamic than free skate. I think skating. I walk everywhere all the time. But they're gonna be playing nineties jams. Bangers. We do that in here, bro, that's true. We do have bangers. We got bangers in here. It's more challenging, it's more fun in that way.
28:23 Week right now, I'm like, I feel yeah, I feel very weak. Well, let me see on some skates. We'll see how challenging it looks. It's not challenging. You just I'm gonna talk no ship because I know. I mean, oh that's shit. Hard as hell. Skates hard as hell. I do have never really skated. Rollerblading was just so cool when I was a kid, so we did that. Whatever it is, anything with two feet like that, I'm eating. I tore my ankle up so bad when it was thirty rollerblading. Oh that sounds terrible, explained, I fell over my I fell over my foot, like my ankle didn't move, my foot didn't move, but the rest of my body went over. It just tore the crap out of competition, no triple handle Campbell Zack State's parking lot. It was my It was my son's birthday and he wanted he got new rollerblades and he wanted me to rollerblade with him. So I rented a set of rollerblades and I hit a You know, parking lots are not level entirely, and I hit something and I just went over and it was so bad. You hit the smallest pebble on those ships you're going, it's because your ankle is also kind of like strapped into this. Yeah, ginormous clunky. I think roller blades more than skates. Rollers are like some ski boots. You're like clumped in and it's higher off the ground. I really do want to skate, though. You see some of the videos of those cats going dummy on like TikTok and ship and they're like dance cruise video of those cat's going that was good. I don't get the joke. Just
30:00 exactly what you said. Sorry, Yeah, that's why I don't get the joke. Ryan, Am I doing it? Ryan dancing? Ryan, him and his dance crew like go every Monday and they're not even skaters, but they're dancers. So they're just fucking crushing it, and so it looks so fun. Okay, ice skating looks fun. I don't know. That's a thin ass blade. And then dudes are dying, and then chicks are chasing you with blade. You're losing fingers. It's hard. She dude died. Dude just died dd because it was this year, those giant news. That's one small things. One small thing. A professional hockey player literally died in front of hundreds of thousands of people because a blade hit them. Yeah, ice skating. We did not didn't say go out there and get smacked by a pro hockey player and get your neck cut over. Yeah, it's more dangerous with you knuckleheads flying around with knives on your toes. We are not flying around. I'm holding the side of that life. I am not flying.
30:56 That's giant news in the last three months. That's like they know the stroller things they have for kids. Yes, that's what he's probably gonna do. A bowling too, like the little dinosaur tail. You roll it down. If you can roller blade, you can easily ice skate. It is way thinner. I've never tried, really, but it's very similar. I only know ice skate I never found my ass. But that's what every motherfucker says with everything that's good. Where like I skateboarded a little bit enough to get around, and then my friends are like, oh yeah, dude, wakeboarding same thing. Meanwhile, I'm getting dragged swallow and salmon up the river and it's like forty degrees were you getting tugged by the boat? Oh? Isn't that called something else? More water skiing? We're getting tugged. It's definitely called something else. But that's about that, you know what I'm saying.
31:45 Yeah, me, you're doing in the river. It's freezing cold. This ship didn't feel like my little skateboarder in my backyard is it. Wouldn't wakeboarding be closer to surfing? Yeah, same ship, though I skateboarded and then I went surfing or snowboarding once they're like, dude, Mike, you're gonna be good. You're like pretty good skateboarding. Like I'm good enough that I'm coordinating. I ain't Tony, no bro, I meant ship everywhere I'm freezing cold, My fucking nuts are small, breaking my wrist everywhere. I didn't fall once skateboard. I mean you fall skateboarding. But once you get experimental, right, like when I'm trying to grind and do a kick flip and ship you kind of stumble, You're guaranteed to fall in snowboarding. Yeah, they ne't the same. I think it's like but like the motion of like the lean is correlated to yeah, a little bit, a little bit. I'd say wakeboarding not even close. I don't know get enough on a wakeboard. Almost died. Everyone just says that when they're good at ship, that'd be me taking you know, some mead heead I oh, dude, Olympic weightlifting, same thing as the deadlift. Let's go. Oh yeah right, yeah, exactly. Yeah, I guess it depends. Yeah, if you're fucking good at ship. Yeah, if you're good at shit, I'm good at I think I'm good at ship. I like pick up a little easily. I think the best thing. Like, what about volleyball? I'm good, I'm good. I know me and you versus these tuners. Okay, I haven't played long time. Yeah, have a look at us and look at them. Good displassed pie? What he's making fun of me?
33:04 Because I could an enunciate pie? Then the ways because I couldn't announci dispissed me? Huh, what's dispersed me? Like later or after? After? Oh my bad dressing the Japanese dude with Spanish. I'm not the one trying to speak Spanish to my one lessons friends. I fucked up, fucking con pie I am come on, luciento appropriation. No, it's appreciation. That's what Kanye says. Do not don't loop me in with Kanye. I don't know, man, you see his girl? Yeah, I don't get it.
33:47 But whatever. Do you ever watch James Bonds? I don't know. Wow so into him as a kid, and nah, I can't really watch him James Bond. No, really, I do not watch it just because they're also similar. I think they're all kind of similar. Yeah, I don't know. It's like the Transporter style movie or John Wick. You've seen john Wick one. I'm not going to watch John Wick five. Oh I haven't watched for yet, but I totally will. Yeah, people say it's good to it. I just want to double seven have the same girl in a few movies. It's always a different girl every single movie. Isn't that kind of part of the story. But he's a different guy Ver a few movies too, so you know pim Yeah he yeah, they he's a womanizer for sure, womanizer, toxic masculinity and ship all that great, love that stuff. What was a movie that you could have seen recently? I watched a bunch of like, uh uh, streamy style movies over the over the break, I watched The Rebel Moon, a new sci fi movie. I watched Snyder. Actually, there's a Mark Wahlberg movie. Low Key. Wasn't that bad. It was like kind of a family action. Oh. I saw the trailer for that way better secret Yeah, okay, way better than you think. It's going to be. Not great, I mean, it ain't fucking a classic, but better than I thought. It seems like there are a lot of movies like that. Well, there's another one with Donald Glover where he and another girl are like paradept Mister and Missus Smith. Oh
35:22 yeah, that's a remake. Yeah, it's a series remake. Yeah, it's an adaptation. You ever see a ruin? No, I haven't, mister Pitt solid that's solid. It's a story of their marriage. Yeah, no, but it was around the same time and together, are they not? How they were? They were? Yeah? And twenty years ago. They're supposed to kill each other. Yeah, they got missions to kill each other. Yeah, they're both like secret agents. Yeah. Mark Wahlberg's one is kind of like that. I watch a Bill Burr produced and written movie that wasn't that bad. I thought it was kind of funny. Chappelle's new stand up I watch that. I heard that was good. I didn't watch it. Yeah, not as great as it was good. I rewatched Howell's Moving Castle. The fun is that studio? Ghibli uh they know that one.
36:12 I've heard of it. You know. The first serial collaboration ever with anime just happened. See, you guys are fake weeps, first one ever. I am a fake weep. Dragon Ball D and Reese's Puffs I think is the first collaboration ever. It's happening right now. Yeah, the puffs are blue now, and I'm sure there's probably an anime on a cereal in Japan. Yeah, yeah, first, like I swore, but Reese's puffs, you know, Dragon ball Z they're like still I don't know, I mean, they're iconic, right, saming like Pokemon? What did you say? Dragon? These balls dragging these balls. I'm sad that I missed that one. It's your favorite joke. It is. It's probably a porn title too. Here's a disgusting knowing, disgustingly funny knowing in the world. It's called So you guys didn't see it, but we watched that. Uh you are where you eat? You watch that new nutrition documentary out documentary quotes, air quotes. It's a it's a vegan yes, I've heard of it.
37:23 But so you're your clients turn vegan and game changers, which is their their first one. They did a thing where they were supposed to be measuring whether guys were able to get more aroused on a vegan diet. You ever see like plight covers or whatever. I don't know, clants, you ever seems as a kid they're like, uh, paper clips that are rolled out, but then they're fuzzy and you make like horses with them. Pipe clean Yeah, but as a kid, there's something else, right, Like they're they're literally like leg I've only known them as pipe cleaners, I think as a kid too. Yeah, yeah, that's because that's a weird name. Kid toy. Yeah, that's a weird name to name a kid toy. No, for sure, toys no kids, for sure. In the nineties, it was like a like a lego type thing and you make little and we make art with it. We don't. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, it's art material. Sure. So they basically took like three of those things and put it on these college like football players cocks, and then they had one eat meat burrito and the other eat a veggie burrito, and they measured their morning wood in terms of like circumference duration, yeah, density, girth, and length, and the veggie burrito gives you a big harder dick.
38:40 Supposedly that sounds illegal. I think they're over a team. Well I signed something that said, yes, you can look at my cock measure and if you win, you can put those stats on your Instagram profile. So yeah, but for research purposes. But yeah, so in this one they did it on the women and there were a twins. It was twins. See the women's morning wood. No, they do. They use like a heat map. You're disgusting. Gross. Yeah, they had a radar gun on their puss. Yeah, they had and heat Yeah, they had a flear like ghost hunters, you know where they Yeah, apparently that's I don't know.
39:34 I've never measured the woman. I understand, I understand your lack of experience. Anyway, little A couple of older ladies were when they had handed a tablet to like find porn, and they're looking for the hen type porn, and of course there isn't to what. It's a weird awkward se Why is that? You're like, we get to choose whatever we lie? How are these people forties fifty sixties were making the noise. That's four moments.
40:15 It was a disgusted mode, not a sensual moment. It was like, I wasn't sure. Sometimes it's hard to our listeners. All right, give me two monds O give me a disgusted mode, all right, then give me a pleasured mod. No, I'm taking my head, go go go. That was we just lost every female listener we've ever had. The world's gone so cold for the first time. Like, you just ate a Snickers was not bad? Do not? Don't her on to give you a more sensual moan. He's got more of them, that's what she said. She's wrong, but said, listeners, I'll give you more you guys vegan now, no, yeah, you two pounds of meat every day. They're trying to say that being vegan is better, Yeah, because the cow farts.
41:25 I mean, but they were using the human body as measurements, not for like the world we're talking about, like for people, right, Yes, very insightful comment. That was totally They were totally allergic to anything. They started there. They started there, and then yeah, they went on some green energy stuff and then they came back. But even still that the dad is just so bad. And then apparently what I did here was that the the people who did eat animal meat flush meat for protein, were able to like gain muscle mass. Yeah, get fucked right, this is correct? Yeah, yeah, that was the one thing I ye fuck yeah, which probably true. They Yeah, I don't even think they accounted for calories perfectly, and they didn't account for protein perfectly between So basically the whole thing was they took twins right go identical in DNA, which isn't even true because of like epigenetics and they're all past the age of zero, you know what I mean, so like it already doesn't work, but it is closer than the Grand Dum's. Yeah, and then yeah, they didn't equate for calories or protein I don't think. So then now we're they did they did, but they weren't perfectly equal. Improper testing then yeah, yeah, it was just set ups to study veans me. Yeah no because then because uh no, kind of I guess because because if they and then and then depending on the protein dosing they gave them, I think you can get just as Jack Vegan.
42:47 Right, you got Mediam Mixedwourley at the Nighttime Squad. That dude's huge and vegan. Yeah. Yeah, Jack's always been like from birth that he fall out, you know, of the womb from the I've been looking like with a celery stick of s. I think he's been vegan though for a hot minute. Yeah. Yeah, he was in the newspaper. That's what I first heard about him. He was in the newspaper. Yeah, yeah, years ago. Squad that's like the only big squad, like six seventy five. Yeah, I mean there's there's pro athletes and ship and I get all that, but because that's the previous one, they talked to a bunch of NFL guys that turn vegan and ship. It can definitely be done, but you're gonna have to eat a shit tone. Why do they do that? I guess personal choice. Some people may think it's a health thing, and then a lot of people are for like the you know, animal rights stuff. You know, I can't really say anything when it comes to animal rights. But if you're talking about like getting jacked and enjoying food, now I can debate a little bit. No, I need I need the food, the meats. Yeah, and I think it's too inconvenient probably, I mean only because I haven't thought about how to be vegan. Vegan's tough.
43:51 Vegetarian, Yeah, vegetarian not as difficult. You can still eggs. That could be a vlog. They'd be fucking up the mushrooms though, that should be looking good on TikTok. You ever seen like them, like they make the mushrooms and that's just how you talk. I can't really take any of it serious. How serious though, like you see them like fuck up the mushrooms. I don't really like mushrooms like that too. Yeah, like a mushroom steak type deal, Like damn, all right, I know it looks good to me. Mushrooms are on my pasta or some show might eat it, but I'm not trying to eat just like a fucking twelve ounce mushroom steak. That's how about eggplant parm. Why when right next to it on the menu is chicken parm. What if it's not on the menu, where do you go? That's just egg plant parm? I guess so. I don't know really never had my mom makes it. It's all right, but I would much of that with chicken parm. Well, eggplant parm just tastes any good and have a good texture, has a ship on oil in it.
44:45 It's just period frying. Yeah, they're both. They're all both all fried up, cheesed up. Yeah. I know that they're healthy by any means. I think we need a good Italian spot here. That's what we don't really have. There's the new spot. What you have tried it? Italian? Yep. It's next to the rind Segon Alley. It's like on that corner. It's good. They've been sure making noodles in the house type ship? Is that the one that there's? The other one is in New York City. I don't know. I think it's called something pen, not something. Yeah, that's the one. I displeased Pie. That's your new restaurant. It's not a bad name. After Pie, Yeah, after Pie, A little sexual kind of coffee place. After pie Pie after I don't have to explain it all. Yeah, we're not on I got you guys.
45:31 Hm hmmm, well we just cut of make that one Patreon and then yeah, that's what we're doing jo depending how crazy a conversation goes like this called a Patreon. She starts saying, for some crazy ship. What's next in life? Yeah, I don't know where. Jam. We've got to meet March. Probably a seminar happening in April. A little bit of upgrades to the gym, more upgrades, more upgrades, more upgrades are coming, you know, Yeah, I mean bye bye probably lie, we're gonna be a brand new spots be whipped around. What else is coming? You can't say it? Dang. I actually think you probably knew. You were probably just taking a nap or playing Pokemon. We're getting up. No, it's fine.
46:13 I mean we could say it doesn't really matter. Oh we talk about after you telling Matt legs leg good, some leg pieces on the way. Oh I remember, yeah one of them. Yeah, four leg pieces on the way. Dang. Yeah, we should be jamming, should be jam and then we'll see what's new. What's all on the horizon for you? God? I only see you once a quarter now. Yeah, it's been I mean, holidays is tough. And then I kept getting sick. I was sick like the week of Christmas and then again like last week. So what's wrong with you? I don't know what's going Onetable. I think I'm just withering away because I'm not training as much either. Are you sleeping yes?
46:59 Are you eating? Yes? No? I guess that's the problems out. Yeah, how would you know exactly? I'm missing out? She just called you a small week and frail bro. We're like almost the same way, right exactly. Yeah, that's so that's the point. Yes, I'm trying to get bigger than him. I've been getting smaller for sure. Your body building, what are you doing? I'm trying to get back. I started a program again with Derek Akuneta. Okay, yes, that's his all right, she's doing Disney movies. That's his instagram tagata it's his last name, and then that's his instagram. Yeah, and it means no worries.
47:52 I'm so sorry. Yeah, so you know that song? Okay, thank you? He just hopped into a legal stitch voice. Yeah. So I started a week and then I guess six, So I'm like, what the fuck, I can't just I can't catch a break. I'm just trying to get back into the routine of things, that's all, and see where that takes me get back. That's the spring. Yeah, I guess so, I mean, I don't know, right, it's just like, yeah, it's any I'm just I'm just trying to train for multiple weeks consecutively with no breaks, four days a week. It's not hard. I should be able to do it. But other than that, I mean I took a break from the training and then I was gone for two weeks. So it's it's mostly like work, been work related things lately, ramping up coaching a little bit. Uh not even I'm trying to I still got to figure out my freaking business thing. What Yeah, that's good. As is nice? Nope, I'm just trying to make it a real business for what was it Avy Strength Systems team? Ass that's really good. I would sign up. I'll hire you. I want to be captain, as I want to be captain asked as to be good, I'll draw the logo. No, I was taking like a donkey or something, you like kind of go around it.
49:23 Maybe maybe a planet or something that looks like an ass a planet. No, No, it's kind of cool you take like yours. Yeah, somebody is like The Ring as pretty good mock up of it. I wouldn't actually draw it, but my brain would draw it. I can't wait for some of the Google ship or what's the next one is coming out? The Minority Report ships? I think they're out this yere. You've seen Minority Report. No, Minority Report. Minority Report is I know you have. Yeah, some of us are real adults here, but that no. You if you saw it, you saw what I'm talking about. I did not see what you're talking about. No, because it's the entire fucking movie is all the tech. Yeah, so what is it? So in Minority Report, it's a future. It's a future of scientology. Or boy, Tom Cruise is on a mission and he's a police officer. Now, okay, that was a joke because Tom Cruise isn't it. He's a police officer in the future, And it goes a little weird. Actually, when you start to think about it, the beginning's really cool because they basically get alerted before crimes happen, and then they can go solve them. Or stop them, but then how they get alerted. It's like these three triplet alien chicks, which gets a little weird. Like that kind of threw me off. And it is good and it's super sci fi. But basically their tech is that everywhere you go or like this particular area is a monitor and it's tangible, so it's not even touch screen. It's like grab screen technology and you're throwing shit around like your different web browser and shit what Yeah, it's fire. And basically
50:55 I think Facebook or somebody met at Google Bezos Gate, somebody smart has one of them. Ship's already coming in some goggles where like you would have screens up and you're moving them around VR AR style. It's the Apple one. Yeah, maybe it's Apple and it's got like a virtual keyboard due type. Yeah, in the Apple it's a mix between virtual and augmented reality. Yeah, it's fine. I keep getting the notifications about like signing up to buy one. They're like three grand because it's all it's a full computer goggles. Yeah, so you guys gonna get it. I don't know, but it probably allowed me to really get shifty. But if you walked in on my workflow, I'd probably look like a crazy person. Yeah, dude, I already see. I already see. No. Yeah, we got like motown going and I'm a mad fucking creator. And someone walks into my office and I'm getting down and all you see it is completely empty. But yeah, you just see me getting down. But then they go into my view and I'm fucking cooking. Dude, there's fucking masterpieces all over it, Excel sheets and ship Yeah. I could see the intro to the movie as Yeah, i'd be designing the logo. Okay, well you let me know when that happened. Yep, ass, come to your anus. That's too much.
52:16 There we go, patriot. I mean us a p ain't passing that logo. No, even with the check book ass, I don't know how the disguised ass flat. It's two D anyway, tod as. Yeah, nobody likes to No, there's tons of two d ass, and that's what we're on a mission to solve here. Kind of ass. It is saddest and flattest. Yeah, kind of can't keep your pants up because you're asked, doesn't I said, there will be all right, that's definitely patrol savvy.
53:00 Before Mack gets too much further into the Patreon territory. Maybe we just like tie a bowe on this one, dud. Where can they find you? See?
