Every powerlifting federation has similar rules about how lifts should be performed in competition, but how those rules are applied rests with the judges/referees. Different feds have different reputations for judging, and any time an “all-time world record” is broken in a fed that is known for looser judging, there’s instantly a social media controversy.
Should we care where a lift was performed? Should we ignore records from feds that don’t have a rigorous approach to judging lifts? We take a stab at these questions and share a few of our current favorite non-fitness/lifting social media accounts.

00:00:07.320 --> 00:00:12.800
Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to this
week. It'll be a week before Thanksgiving.
2
00:00:13.320 --> 00:00:17.399
Yeah, I love Thanksgiving. Sports
are going crazy. King's got a
3
00:00:17.480 --> 00:00:22.760
nice win. Thanksgiving. It's probably
my favorite holiday. Yeah, yeah,
4
00:00:22.760 --> 00:00:25.440
probably, I mean it's food based. I think it's probably my favorite holiday
5
00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:29.359
too, just because like Christmas song
is always a disappointment. Y's. Yeah,
6
00:00:29.399 --> 00:00:32.880
we stopped doing gifts all together.
Yeah, just do it out the
7
00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:35.920
window. Yeah, and I mean
it's just me and mom anyways. Yeah,
8
00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:38.320
it makes it obviously a very easy
decision to make, yea. Yeah,
9
00:00:38.359 --> 00:00:41.880
but it's also yeah, it takes
all weird. Well, your mom
10
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:44.399
is a gift anyway, so yeah, yeah, we just eat good dinner
11
00:00:44.439 --> 00:00:47.600
and she cooks, and so Christmas
is kind of nice now too. But
12
00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:51.520
yeah, you get like gift anxiety
or something or yeah, gift like yeah,
13
00:00:51.560 --> 00:00:55.359
regret or yeah, all of it's
there's weird emotions around it. And
14
00:00:55.359 --> 00:00:57.520
I feel like if you have a
giant family, which a lot of people
15
00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:00.600
do, and they'll do like the
Uh, it's gonna sound racist because I
16
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:03.280
might get a wrong white elephant,
black elephant. It's white elephant. Yeah,
17
00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:06.560
yeah, I've never done one of
those, but yeah, you have
18
00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:08.719
a family of thirty people, which
a lot of my homies do you know,
19
00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:12.079
they have cousins and they all do
it together. That's a little more
20
00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:15.519
fun. I think that takes the
pressure off, right, because no one's
21
00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:19.079
choosing for you, and then there's
no disappointment on either end. Yeah,
22
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:22.840
a shit gift, because gift giving
can be hard if you're like, unless
23
00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:26.120
you're super close, I feel like, well, yeah, this is over
24
00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:30.480
and a whole can of worms here. The uh, the thing that that
25
00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:34.280
my White's family does, and that's
kind of we've primarily you know, even
26
00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:40.079
even my folks before they passed,
you know, would would jump in with
27
00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:45.959
my with my in laws for for
holidays, Christmas Eve, there's too many
28
00:01:45.959 --> 00:01:53.319
people and it's everybody brings one gift
and uh, then you it's all in
29
00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:57.400
a pile and we pick a way
to do it. Usually it's like youngest,
30
00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:04.079
the oldest, whatever, and you
choose one gift. And after last
31
00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:07.359
year, we finally had to make
a rule of no wide elephants, no
32
00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:09.599
gag gifts or whatever, because like
you could put a lot of time and
33
00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:15.240
thought into like putting in your your
exchange gift and have somebody else pick something
34
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:19.520
shitty. Yeah, and you get
something shitty and you're like, fuck this,
35
00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:21.400
why did I bother? But then
like, yeah, how do you
36
00:02:21.479 --> 00:02:24.319
choose a gift for like thirty people? Kind of yeah, like a Starbucks
37
00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:28.560
gift card but then that's not like
that thoughtful but something everyone could use.
38
00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:30.439
Yeah, that gets weird. That's
what I mean. Like, if you
39
00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:32.159
really know someone, gift giving can
be cool because you make it all special
40
00:02:32.479 --> 00:02:36.520
and that's kind of fun. That
feels good, like general gift giving.
41
00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:39.000
Yeah, this is not to throw
shade on you know, everybody that I
42
00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:42.840
that I deal with in my family. Number One, I just I don't
43
00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:46.960
I'm not a big like gift giver
for other people's birthdays and stuff like that.
44
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:49.599
That seems like bullshit to me,
but you know, it is what
45
00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:54.879
it is. But for for Christmas, I have seldom gotten anything that I
46
00:02:55.000 --> 00:03:00.000
thought was a like really me gift. Yeah, you know out and and
47
00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:02.840
I'm told that I'm hard to buy
for. I don't think so, And
48
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:06.240
I would rather buy for myself.
I think I could make a tool little
49
00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:09.240
list if I had to, probably
so. Yeah, because gift giving is
50
00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:12.639
also a talent or not a talent, but like a skill. She got
51
00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:14.560
to put in some thought and then
you got to go a couple It's kind
52
00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:15.360
of like a joke. You know, you can't like hit it on the
53
00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:19.759
nose. You kind of have to
go one step to the side and kind
54
00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:22.599
of vibe out. I don't even
know. Yeah, birthdays, we don't
55
00:03:22.599 --> 00:03:24.560
do gifts either. I don't think. I don't think I like receiving gifts,
56
00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:28.360
So I just kind of made the
rules. You know. I'm just
57
00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:30.000
like kind of same, probably the
same reason. It's the same reason because
58
00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:34.680
it's like, you know, if
you knew me better, you would not
59
00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:37.879
think that that was an appropriate gift
for me. And then I think a
60
00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:40.080
lot of people that even that they
know me, I found this to be
61
00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:45.520
my whole life. I've shed go
into like powerlifting or music, and a
62
00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:50.360
lot of stuff I relate to is
about like kind of outcasts or people that
63
00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:53.080
don't fit in. But it's not
that I don't fit in. It's just
64
00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:57.000
that my friends aren't exactly like me. None of my friends are like me.
65
00:03:57.080 --> 00:03:59.080
Like you've met some of my friends
now, Like none of them are
66
00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:00.520
into the same shit really, or
a couple of them will be into like
67
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:03.439
one thing that I'm into, like
a lot of my friends don't listen to
68
00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:05.960
the same music, Like my best
friends don't listen to the same music,
69
00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:10.719
aren't into clothes, aren't really into
cars, you know, like food,
70
00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:14.719
maybe food, but like one of
them. So then if they try to
71
00:04:14.759 --> 00:04:17.399
give for me, it's thoughtful,
not that this has really happened, but
72
00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:21.879
hypothetically the gift for me. But
it's always doesn't you know, it's not
73
00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:28.399
on the playground. It does end
up like shading the relationship a little bit
74
00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:31.399
if you get something that that just
just seems off and it's hard to give
75
00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:34.720
something that's right, And it really
sucks when you give somebody a gift and
76
00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:36.879
it doesn't land. Yeah, and
then you do yeah, you know,
77
00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:41.439
if you're doing a personal one,
you don't want to do the basic Starbucks
78
00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:44.800
gift card deal. No, no, you don't. Why don't they do
79
00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:49.160
registries for every holiday? That's exactly
a good point. Oh my god,
80
00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:54.759
I think we may have made the
They maybe just cut this part out and
81
00:04:54.959 --> 00:04:59.560
use this as the new business plan
Christmas registry would bang. That sounds like
82
00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:01.399
an amazing Santa Claus lists as a
kid, is that? Yeah? And
83
00:05:01.399 --> 00:05:05.199
which is genius? Actually, that's
a very commercial genius way to know what
84
00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:09.399
your kid wants. I think on
Amazon you can do a wish list that
85
00:05:09.480 --> 00:05:12.680
other people can see. Yeah,
that's kind of to just be online horrors
86
00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:15.879
doing it. Yeah, we're being
franky. Well yeah, there we go.
87
00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:17.920
That's uh. Yeah, if you're
hooring yourself out on the internet and
88
00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:21.800
not necessarily sexually, just in general
general whoror you don't have to be an
89
00:05:21.959 --> 00:05:26.680
only fans star. But yeah,
just all types of horror really helps sell
90
00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:29.399
outy horrors. And actually I'm not
that against it because if your fans want
91
00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:30.519
to buy your ship by all means. Because I had it on Twitch,
92
00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:35.600
it was cool you could sign up
for without like giving your location. You
93
00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:40.639
could sign up for your viewers to
buy you door Dash basically. Oh and
94
00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:42.839
it was an app like that you
would attach to Twitch. So that was
95
00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:45.519
cool. Up streaming for eight hours
and someone buy you a pizza? Yeah,
96
00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:47.600
buy me a coffee. Is one
of those people that's a cool idea.
97
00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:50.879
Yeah, but a registry for yeah, like whatever, holidays, fucking
98
00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:57.240
first Communion and fucking yeah winning boy
Scouts, whatever the hell these kids do.
99
00:05:57.279 --> 00:05:59.560
I don't know what the help people
do, but Christmas for sure,
100
00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:02.920
something specific where it's easy for people
to find you to get you. You
101
00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:06.399
know. Yeah, my parents were
good growing up. I remember being like
102
00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:12.480
crazy excited, like and they wouldn't. We weren't like wealthy, but they
103
00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:15.839
just do like the right shit,
ye know. Like I predominantly remember like
104
00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:18.480
multiple gifts in my brain that my
dad got me that were like it's fucking
105
00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:26.199
perfect. Yeah, I will say
that my uh you know, I said
106
00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:30.560
Sam, you know, and and
his wife very often give me very very
107
00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:32.240
on the nose things. Yeah,
for me, that's it. That's a
108
00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:38.079
good point. My wife and I
tend to instead of buying gifts for each
109
00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:41.399
other, we tend to find a
thing that we want to buy together.
110
00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:44.199
Yeah, or events, right if
you're Yeah, yeah, if I'm dating,
111
00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:46.560
like, an event makes more sense
a trip or a concert or a
112
00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:50.680
cool dinner. We're even doing that
where mom and Bart's birthday are on the
113
00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:58.279
same day, and it's Friday Saturday, and so we're just doing dinner Sunday
114
00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:00.040
all together. But I'm not gonna
get bored again. Yeah, he would
115
00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:02.519
just go do a fancy dinner,
you know. Yeah, everyone will enjoy
116
00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:05.079
it more. Anyways. Yeah,
for sure, my wife and I bought
117
00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:09.839
a piece of art that we're having
heavy framed because it was just the worst
118
00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:13.680
frame, ugly, super ugly frame. But like local artists, you know,
119
00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:16.959
decades long sack state art professor or
whatever, that's kind of yeah,
120
00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:20.839
kind of interesting and different or whatever, just very very on brand for us,
121
00:07:21.879 --> 00:07:25.319
and then we didn't have to think
about, you know, what's the
122
00:07:25.439 --> 00:07:29.639
right thing. Yeah, And I
mean I don't know, maybe I am
123
00:07:29.759 --> 00:07:36.279
a mystery in that regard, or
I think that the things I want I
124
00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:40.800
usually think about for a very long
time in park because they're expensive. Yeah
125
00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:42.920
yeah, yeah, yeah, that's
the other thing too, the older you
126
00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:45.360
get, you just want fancier shit. Yeah. So like I don't expect
127
00:07:45.399 --> 00:07:47.639
a car for Christmas, right,
that'd be crazy, But that's probably what
128
00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:49.480
do I you know, like what
do I want? I want to fucking
129
00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:53.639
like, I don't somebody rolled in
here? Yeah, yeah, I don't
130
00:07:53.639 --> 00:07:56.240
want a toy with a nine to
eleven. Yeah, it's much easier with
131
00:07:56.240 --> 00:07:58.879
a kid, and that's a classic
nine to eleven, you know, Yeah,
132
00:07:58.959 --> 00:08:01.600
that's still too un our cable.
I think we did a couple big
133
00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:05.160
Christmases in Cleveland, where I have
a bunch of cousins and shit, but
134
00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:09.959
only a handful growing up. And
I think we did one maybe when I
135
00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:13.879
was eighteen or a little bit older. And uh, I think we just
136
00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:16.600
did gifts for the kid kids.
I don't know what the age cut off
137
00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:18.600
was, but if you felt like
a kid, then everyone would just get
138
00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:20.160
you shit and the adults just kind
of, you know, had dinner and
139
00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:22.600
hung out. I think that's a
good plan too, because who's going to
140
00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:26.000
actually really like it, like you
know, your grandkids, right, Yeah,
141
00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:31.160
No, we have actually not even
had the discussion about what they want
142
00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:33.279
for Christmas out and then they have
to they're coming for Christmas and they're you
143
00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:35.960
know, over three thousand miles away, and then you have to get stuff
144
00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:39.919
home and buy it and ship it. Yeah, exactly. Or you know,
145
00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:43.200
we often just give give my son
the money and have him buy it
146
00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:48.320
and have it there, as opposed
to because the shipping is insanity. Yeah.
147
00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:50.039
Yeah, yeah, I think we
did that too when I was a
148
00:08:50.159 --> 00:08:52.440
kid. Maybe they give me a
couple of things there, but then my
149
00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:56.759
aunts would just send me stuff to
Sacramento. I don't know. Yeah.
150
00:08:56.879 --> 00:09:01.240
Yeah. The bigger family you are
and the more friends you have just gonna
151
00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:03.559
buy everyone shit. No, you
just can't. You can't do that.
152
00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:07.080
Ye that and money wise and just
like energy wise. Yeah, but it
153
00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:11.240
is a consumer world. I mean
Black Friday sales started two weeks ago.
154
00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:15.840
Yeah, yeah, crack of November. Yeah, November. The first week
155
00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:18.000
of November. They put the tree
up in the Capitol, So I assume
156
00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:20.840
they did it in New York and
San Francisco and everywhere else. But I
157
00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:24.480
swear that was like a after Thanksgiving
deal. It did used to be,
158
00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:28.039
Yeah, but I've been trying to
maximize the retail season. That's literally all
159
00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:33.679
it is is you find like customer
habits and purchasing dates, and you open
160
00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:37.799
that door up wider. They're going
to spend more longer. Yeap keeps the
161
00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:43.960
ball rolling, for sure. We'll
sort of do two running here. We
162
00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:48.320
haven't. We haven't done two episodes
running where we did Rose and Thorn yet.
163
00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:50.639
So what's what's the week since the
last time we talked? Doesn't have
164
00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:54.559
to be this week since the last
time we talked, Banks, similar roses,
165
00:09:54.240 --> 00:10:01.200
teams, moving, power lifting meets
sold out for March, and deadlines
166
00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:03.240
are being hit. That's probably the
best thing. I'm still like stress,
167
00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:05.960
but like the deadlines are hit.
We got you know, all our care
168
00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:11.000
packs out, we got inventory,
we're revamping the website, which should be
169
00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:15.879
ready in time. Like all that
feels good. You think that's it.
170
00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:18.080
Thorn sleeps in whatever. Oh yeah, yeah, but you know, I
171
00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:20.840
don't know if it's changed the season
or stress or I'm still dieting, so
172
00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:24.840
lack of food always makes me sleep
a little, you know, Like you
173
00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:26.879
you go to bed on like fucking
three in and out burgers, You're gonna
174
00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:30.399
sleep so good. Yeah, but
you go to bed. Have you done
175
00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:33.000
the cottage cheese thing? Like their
case and at bedtime? I did case
176
00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:35.120
and shakes back in the day.
We're about to do a skit. I'll
177
00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:39.200
spoil it right here. I saw
some kid on TikTok. This is unrelated
178
00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:43.080
in some senses, but I saw
a kid on TikTok. He has like
179
00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:46.000
a bowl of ice, and uh
he does like a pretty good acting job
180
00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:52.240
to make it look yummy, and
he sprinkles bagel, all you everything,
181
00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:56.879
everything on the ice and just starts
chomping on. Oh my, So I'm
182
00:10:56.919 --> 00:10:58.960
gonna go. Kyle's actually bringing us
ice right now, and I'm just gonna
183
00:11:00.039 --> 00:11:01.159
have a bunch of protein on it
and try to eat it, I'll probably
184
00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:03.679
throw up or spit it out.
Maybe, so it would be a good
185
00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:07.840
video because that's kind of like how
it feels like I'm eating. You start
186
00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:09.679
to diet a lot, and you're
just like, dude, I eat one
187
00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:11.960
meal a day, that's it.
So then I go to bed hungry caught
188
00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:15.159
a cheese. I don't know.
I only really like in lasagna, I
189
00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:16.960
think, oh really, yeah,
like I don't really like it by itself.
190
00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:22.200
Interesting another white thing. You know, my mom made the lasagna with
191
00:11:22.279 --> 00:11:24.399
kind of cheese, but we used
ricotta. Yeah, my mom will do
192
00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:28.039
both. But I just love lasagna, man, so I'll eat it either
193
00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:35.279
way it's super thin noodle or like
even like stuff shells cheese or rocota and
194
00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:37.200
that I'll eat that. Yeah,
it just needs more shit. It's the
195
00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:39.000
same with cheese. I don't like. You know, I don't like a
196
00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:41.799
chacudery board. I need it like
on a burger. I need it on
197
00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:48.320
a pizza. I me and the
other day this is that checurdery boards are
198
00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:52.559
lunchables for millennials, I really are, And it seemed to get popular like
199
00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:56.440
with that gen like my generation,
Yeah, which I assume invented the Lunchible.
200
00:11:56.919 --> 00:12:00.120
Yeah probably, Yeah, I like
them. I like chicardiy Boards the
201
00:12:00.159 --> 00:12:01.639
lunchible guy, but I like sure
could boards. Yeah, if you're at
202
00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:05.679
a party, you know, at
the dinner party, it makes sense to
203
00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:07.519
have a fat one out when you're
having wine before dinner or some shit.
204
00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:11.519
I've seen a fancy restaurant. I
think I got introduced to them in Italy
205
00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:16.039
and I think that maybe did it. Sure made it kind of special in
206
00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:18.320
my head. Yeah, and they
got to be delicious and they got to
207
00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:20.399
be very delicious. Yeah, for
sure, I'm gonna go a lot.
208
00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:24.480
Yeah, my uh I had.
Speaking of sleep, I got one thorn
209
00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:28.960
that hit me at six forty this
morning. My wife burned toast in the
210
00:12:30.039 --> 00:12:33.960
kitchen while I was still asleep,
and it set off the fire alarms.
211
00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:35.960
Yeah, that's the worst. And
she's like it's all I get up and
212
00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:39.120
I'm like, ah, well,
number one, I sleep with ear plugs,
213
00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:43.200
and so I'm hearing a voice.
I'm hearing a woman's voice go on
214
00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:46.639
and on, you know, repeating
the same thing over and over again.
215
00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:50.879
I'm like, I'm in a dream
and I'm like, what the actual fuck
216
00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:54.559
am I listening to? Like,
what's happening around me. This dream is
217
00:12:54.600 --> 00:13:01.320
so fucking weird. And then I
realized that there's actually beeping going on as
218
00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:05.159
well, and so I pulled my
earplugs out and it's like, oh,
219
00:13:05.200 --> 00:13:07.399
shit, like the houses on fire. And I don't know what time it
220
00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:11.399
is, but it's a light.
There's a smell. It's a little bit
221
00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:13.519
light outside. Smell hadn't hit me
yet. I don't know. Anyway,
222
00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:16.600
though I got out there, my
wife is like, I just I only
223
00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:20.080
you know, it was only this
done and it's like black in the middle.
224
00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:24.440
It's like, yeah, because it
burned. That's why she said,
225
00:13:24.519 --> 00:13:26.000
Yeah, I just said, did
you toast it with a forest fire?
226
00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:33.639
I mean, what the hell?
But she apologized year the toaster has not
227
00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:35.320
apologized, so that's something makes it. Actually, I remember because you have
228
00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:37.879
like so many fire drills in high
school and shit, yeah, going up.
229
00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:41.440
Uh it was Henry actually, I
think who you met. He burnt
230
00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:46.159
the fuck out of some popcorn and
she was I think the sprinklers went off,
231
00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:48.639
like the whole school went crazy one
day and we're just like his dad
232
00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:50.679
was even the principal. Maybe not
at the time, but his dad turned
233
00:13:50.679 --> 00:13:54.080
out to be the princpal burnt the
shit out of this popcorn. The whole
234
00:13:54.120 --> 00:13:58.840
school's freaking the fuck out over some
popcorn. But yeah, I mean toast
235
00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:01.480
popcorn, microwave shit. Yeah,
a little smoke like crazy. Oh yeah
236
00:14:01.559 --> 00:14:05.440
yeah. Rolling back to what you
were saying earlier about your your friends,
237
00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:09.120
all of the friends that your childhood
friends that I've met are fucking cool people.
238
00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:13.519
They're like them, They're great people
and slowly migrating back here, which
239
00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:18.120
is wonderful. Not all, but
you' that's great. And the other thorn
240
00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:22.480
is like the shower head that I
just replaced like two months ago, when
241
00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:26.120
the men's bathroom was busted. Now, I don't know what happened. I
242
00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:28.799
don't know what people do with these
other getting freak. I don't know,
243
00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:31.840
we know. I mean, maybe
we're gonna have to go not handheld because
244
00:14:31.879 --> 00:14:33.639
maybe there's getting a little bit too
much activity with the hand toil. Yeah,
245
00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:37.799
who knows. You can't put some
security cameras back there wand up on
246
00:14:37.840 --> 00:14:39.360
some drama page. Oh my god, you have seen that, right,
247
00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:43.240
I've just heard about it happening multiple
times, but I assume that happens everywhere.
248
00:14:43.279 --> 00:14:46.679
What happened recently, I didn't know
that. But women's only gym.
249
00:14:46.759 --> 00:14:50.919
This guy had a wing guy runs
it. Yes, even that's alrea of
250
00:14:50.960 --> 00:14:52.799
a red flag, that's red flag
number one. Yeah, yeah, you
251
00:14:52.919 --> 00:14:56.039
really want to Yeah, you don't
want a guy to be involved in the
252
00:14:56.279 --> 00:15:00.879
women's own even though that's probably the
norm. But probably dude, probably so.
253
00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:05.879
But yeah, he had a mop
bucket in the in the women's restroom.
254
00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:09.879
He claims that people were stealing things
out of the bathroom. So your
255
00:15:09.879 --> 00:15:13.919
camera's one, So he put a
hit a camera in like the mop.
256
00:15:13.080 --> 00:15:16.879
Yeah, and of course it was
pointed right at the toilet. So well,
257
00:15:16.919 --> 00:15:20.720
then just take valuable shit out of
the bathroom. Yeah that' that'd be
258
00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:22.679
a step, right, I mean, toilet paper, for heaven's sake,
259
00:15:22.720 --> 00:15:26.240
So what are you keeping in the
bathroom? It's so yeah, yeah,
260
00:15:26.279 --> 00:15:28.679
and let it get ripped. I
mean even at the commercial gym I worked
261
00:15:28.720 --> 00:15:31.320
out was not in the greatest like
area, and we had a cabinet full
262
00:15:31.320 --> 00:15:35.759
of all the cleaning supplies kind of
outside of the bathrooms, and they get
263
00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:37.960
stolen all the time. You go
back there and all the windex has gone,
264
00:15:39.039 --> 00:15:41.679
all the toil. But like you
can't lock that stuff. I mean
265
00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:43.240
yeah, but and what are you
gonna do? You know, like they're
266
00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:46.679
not still in a computer, and
yeah, shit's gonna happen. You're at
267
00:15:46.679 --> 00:15:50.039
a huge commercial gym with people everywhere. Are gonna get fucked. I mean
268
00:15:50.039 --> 00:15:52.799
even here, I'm sure shit's got
sold that we didn't recognize. We heard
269
00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:56.519
there was a I don't know the
official term, so don't flame me,
270
00:15:56.519 --> 00:16:00.360
folks, but homeless man who had
been corrected with all the emails I write
271
00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:06.960
politicians in the city and ship,
they correct the term I use experiencing homelessness.
272
00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:10.200
Yeah. Yeah, it's even crazier
than that, the term that yield
273
00:16:10.200 --> 00:16:12.919
at me. But anyways, rumor
has it there's a homeless man stumping around
274
00:16:12.960 --> 00:16:15.679
town with a couple of our hats
on and ship. So who knows?
275
00:16:17.639 --> 00:16:21.039
Yeah, who knows what happened?
Probably yeah? Maybe? Oh did he?
276
00:16:22.279 --> 00:16:26.120
Oh well then that's why. But
I've heard from multiple members gave it
277
00:16:26.159 --> 00:16:32.480
to him because I had other members. I came up like, yeah,
278
00:16:32.519 --> 00:16:33.960
man, there's do in the corner
with your hair. I don't know,
279
00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:44.679
bro, the he's cold. That's
true free marketing, I guess, yeah,
280
00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:48.960
homeless love us? Yeah, so
do I have a rose? I
281
00:16:48.960 --> 00:16:53.080
don't know. I don't know.
I'm you know, I'm kind of looking
282
00:16:53.080 --> 00:16:56.360
forward to the holiday. Yeah,
okay, quick man, this was a
283
00:16:56.360 --> 00:17:00.440
fast year. I probably say it
every year, but it's maybe this year
284
00:17:00.519 --> 00:17:04.519
yet Maybe I don't know. For
me, it seems really long. Yeah,
285
00:17:04.920 --> 00:17:08.319
it seems super long this year,
because like I was in Europe for
286
00:17:08.359 --> 00:17:11.599
a month this year, and that
seems like it was a long time.
287
00:17:11.599 --> 00:17:14.240
Agoun. Yeah, a lot happened
in between it. Yeah, I feel
288
00:17:14.279 --> 00:17:17.799
like that's to balance. The brain's
so interesting because when a lot happens,
289
00:17:18.519 --> 00:17:21.720
it can feel very long, and
when a lot happens, it can feel
290
00:17:21.839 --> 00:17:25.039
very short, you know, because
it obviously speeds up time when you're busy.
291
00:17:25.079 --> 00:17:26.920
But yeah, I think I'm kind
of in that zone. I don't
292
00:17:26.960 --> 00:17:30.759
know. Yeah, it felt quick. And then you start thinking about Adam
293
00:17:30.799 --> 00:17:33.119
Sandler and the movie Click. Fuck
dude, how much of this life am
294
00:17:33.119 --> 00:17:37.319
I living? What's that face?
You never seen the movie Click? Because
295
00:17:37.400 --> 00:17:41.079
because he's just running through life,
not paying attention to like, not living
296
00:17:41.079 --> 00:17:44.119
in the now, and life just
keeps fast forwarding and fast forwarding. That's
297
00:17:44.119 --> 00:17:48.400
the whole moral of the story,
that my life moves too fast. Yeah,
298
00:17:48.440 --> 00:17:51.279
pretty fat, and you need to
tap in and like enjoy it that
299
00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:55.079
go watch click again, dude,
you go cry the in fairs Bueller.
300
00:17:55.759 --> 00:17:57.960
I don't know if I've seen Full
of All. It was a movie that
301
00:17:59.119 --> 00:18:02.640
was like a flow around on like
TNT and shit as a kid, so
302
00:18:02.640 --> 00:18:04.680
I'd watch bits and pieces of it. We may have to do that one
303
00:18:04.759 --> 00:18:07.960
as a I don't know if I
watched as a generational thing. What's the
304
00:18:07.960 --> 00:18:15.039
guy's name, super famous, Matthew
Broderick, Yeah, Broderick, Yeah,
305
00:18:15.640 --> 00:18:21.359
so have you without getting into the
specifics of the meat or the lifter,
306
00:18:21.839 --> 00:18:25.759
Yeah, and anybody but Garrett Fear
Yeah. I heard someone squatted high.
307
00:18:25.839 --> 00:18:27.839
Yeah, but I didn't watch the
Squad. I don't know why I did
308
00:18:27.880 --> 00:18:32.000
watch The Squad and maybe just stopped
caring. I don't know. I saw
309
00:18:32.720 --> 00:18:34.839
shure a boy Dan Bell maybe the
best part of for all time now,
310
00:18:34.880 --> 00:18:40.039
but Dan Bell posted on it and
agreed. Yeah, I saw the dramas
311
00:18:40.119 --> 00:18:42.440
running around, but it's happened so
many times, and I feel like if
312
00:18:42.440 --> 00:18:47.000
we got side shots of any meat
ever, we could do that, you
313
00:18:47.000 --> 00:18:49.240
know what I mean. Like there's
always critique after after IPF gnats, you
314
00:18:49.319 --> 00:18:55.400
know, judges being too strict or
having favorites or even at Arnold when we
315
00:18:55.400 --> 00:18:57.000
were there, I heard rustling in
the crowd about like, yeah, they're
316
00:18:57.000 --> 00:19:00.480
making show and so hold the bench
so long. I'm like, do you
317
00:19:00.480 --> 00:19:03.160
think they really have it out for
Timmy? Like no one gives a fuck
318
00:19:03.200 --> 00:19:06.119
up about you know, Johnny,
Nobody, Like, I don't think that
319
00:19:06.319 --> 00:19:10.720
the judges depending on the fed.
Some you know, no offense folks.
320
00:19:10.799 --> 00:19:12.440
Some are just like so old and
out of tune. They don't know who
321
00:19:12.519 --> 00:19:15.359
these lifters are. It's not like
they're on Instagram all day, you know.
322
00:19:15.839 --> 00:19:18.799
I think it's I think that they
get caught by inattention. I think
323
00:19:18.839 --> 00:19:22.720
that they're like it's more focus.
It's hard. Uh yeah, it's it's
324
00:19:22.759 --> 00:19:26.359
like a slow ass sport. Like
when you're refing basketball. I've wrote a
325
00:19:26.359 --> 00:19:30.839
good amount of games in my time, and like you're literally jogging and you're
326
00:19:30.920 --> 00:19:33.240
you're locked in because you're like part
of it. You're dodging balls and you're
327
00:19:33.279 --> 00:19:37.559
fucking talking and you're you're talking to
players. Hey watch that hand. You
328
00:19:37.599 --> 00:19:41.319
know, you're you're literally like almost
a player. Where powerlifting, you're just
329
00:19:41.319 --> 00:19:45.160
sitting there staring at a wall.
It's like literally watching grass grow. So
330
00:19:45.559 --> 00:19:49.240
a hundred percent. Uh understand them
getting bored this high squad. That was
331
00:19:49.240 --> 00:19:52.359
the thing, right it was a
record, not even a record whatever.
332
00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:56.880
No, And it doesn't really matter. The issue is more the reaction than
333
00:19:56.920 --> 00:20:00.559
I And and like, really one
I want to to ask is like is
334
00:20:00.599 --> 00:20:07.000
it fixable? And how are we
supposed to think about about records, squats
335
00:20:07.119 --> 00:20:11.160
whatever across federations. This is us
PC. So that's what I was going
336
00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:18.079
to bring up. If I'm you
know, a noble powerlifting analyst, like
337
00:20:18.119 --> 00:20:22.039
a young Garrett Fear who cares very
much about the sport, I might not
338
00:20:22.079 --> 00:20:26.000
even comment on it if it's not
in like one of the feds that are
339
00:20:26.079 --> 00:20:29.519
legit. See, that's my question, That is my real question, Like
340
00:20:29.559 --> 00:20:33.319
do we care if it's not in
a federation that we know has good judging
341
00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:37.200
Because that happened for a while was
RPS, the Green Fed. I feel
342
00:20:37.200 --> 00:20:41.319
like when when raw powerlifting started,
just crush numbers, Kevin O and Little
343
00:20:41.319 --> 00:20:45.440
Bird, Everyone's crushing numbers. Then
the RPS was like the only main one
344
00:20:45.519 --> 00:20:48.680
running meets out on the East coast, and they were the USPA was just
345
00:20:48.680 --> 00:20:52.720
starting to get there and we had
a couple of meets, but it was
346
00:20:52.759 --> 00:20:57.519
really USPA dominant with the Dan Greens
and Jeremy Hamilton's et cetera. And then
347
00:20:57.559 --> 00:21:00.599
and then the East Coast would have
the RPS and the judging just wasn't up
348
00:21:00.599 --> 00:21:03.880
to the same standard. So like
all these records can broke left and right,
349
00:21:04.720 --> 00:21:08.359
and yeah, they're all on a
different standard. Yeah, but that's
350
00:21:08.400 --> 00:21:11.680
been the issue the whole time,
right, Like, I think this one
351
00:21:11.759 --> 00:21:15.759
is in a monolift where a lot
of people now are starting to walk their
352
00:21:15.759 --> 00:21:18.680
shit out, whether it's WRPF or
not. But I mean the gold standards,
353
00:21:18.720 --> 00:21:26.039
the WRPF and the USAPL slash IPF. So if I'm commenting on it,
354
00:21:26.160 --> 00:21:30.519
I'm simply saying, Okay, you're
your best in your pond, right
355
00:21:30.559 --> 00:21:36.960
now, come to the WRPF pro
whatever's next, and do it again.
356
00:21:37.400 --> 00:21:41.160
Yeah. Right, if that guy's
my competitor, or if I'm an analyst,
357
00:21:41.640 --> 00:21:45.039
that's like the same thing. Like
if some guy's going absolutely crazy in
358
00:21:45.079 --> 00:21:49.039
European basketball, ESPN is gonna be
say like, that's amazing and you're really
359
00:21:49.039 --> 00:21:52.160
good, but it doesn't count un
till you get here, come to the
360
00:21:52.240 --> 00:21:56.359
NBA and let us know, you
know, and that doesn't really happen.
361
00:21:56.839 --> 00:22:02.279
Like even the Kings just you know, signed the European MVP heere I forgot
362
00:22:02.319 --> 00:22:06.799
exactly what league, but maybe Italy. But he's on our team now and
363
00:22:06.839 --> 00:22:10.039
you know he's doing okay, Yeah, he's shitting on folks over there.
364
00:22:10.279 --> 00:22:12.519
So it's the same idea with these
other FEDS, like there's no one.
365
00:22:12.680 --> 00:22:15.039
The only one you can make the
argument is the USA pl I p F
366
00:22:15.160 --> 00:22:18.680
one because that's newly broken off.
But any other FED, I think if
367
00:22:18.720 --> 00:22:22.160
you want to take a record,
you got to go compete against where the
368
00:22:22.160 --> 00:22:25.160
studs are, and that's where the
sport is. Back in the day,
369
00:22:25.160 --> 00:22:27.960
you couldn't right back in the day, travel, lack of meats, money,
370
00:22:29.039 --> 00:22:30.680
all these things are an issue.
But now if you're that guy,
371
00:22:32.160 --> 00:22:34.039
you're gonna get a sponsorship. You
can find somebody to pay your way there,
372
00:22:34.440 --> 00:22:37.960
you can. You can bundle it
up. Like the sport's changed in
373
00:22:37.000 --> 00:22:41.160
that sense where you don't have to
break a record in your own backyard,
374
00:22:41.799 --> 00:22:44.440
so then travel and show up.
You know. That's that's all I would
375
00:22:44.440 --> 00:22:48.160
say, rather than like calling out
a high squad is yeah, it needs
376
00:22:48.160 --> 00:22:51.720
to be done. It needs to
because Karen is an analyst, like that's
377
00:22:51.759 --> 00:22:53.319
kind of his gig in this thing, right, He's the Stephen A Smith
378
00:22:53.440 --> 00:22:59.559
or whatever the fuck of power thing. So I might not always agree with
379
00:22:59.599 --> 00:23:02.599
Garrett, I'm always going to support
him because he's doing a hard thing,
380
00:23:02.839 --> 00:23:04.480
yea, and he cares kind of
he's kind of doing the Lord's work in
381
00:23:04.519 --> 00:23:07.400
a lot of ways. Yeah,
And I don't think he has ill intent
382
00:23:07.440 --> 00:23:11.039
with anything he ever does. He
just loves powerlifting more than I ever will.
383
00:23:11.079 --> 00:23:12.680
So someone's got to do it,
and he could be a wild card.
384
00:23:12.680 --> 00:23:18.599
I like a disruptor. I hate
I hate meaningless of disruptions, but
385
00:23:18.680 --> 00:23:22.640
I like a disruption that that like
tries to push things forward. Yeah.
386
00:23:22.720 --> 00:23:25.079
I think that's what he's trying to
do. He's trying to get the standardization.
387
00:23:25.160 --> 00:23:30.039
But like you know, until I
don't know what it's going to take.
388
00:23:30.079 --> 00:23:33.880
But until I guess there's enough meets
in every state by the WFPI for
389
00:23:33.960 --> 00:23:37.759
whatever federation was never won, and
until there's like a clear line from kind
390
00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:41.480
of rookie to getting paid and being
the best in a federation, there's always
391
00:23:41.519 --> 00:23:45.519
going to be someone else thinking they
can start a league. Yeah, and
392
00:23:45.920 --> 00:23:48.960
back in the day, I mean
kind of the only places that you could
393
00:23:49.000 --> 00:23:53.680
look at records and the only sort
of arbiters of what the what the actual
394
00:23:53.839 --> 00:24:00.359
like all time records were where the
magazine Powerlifting USA and Parlating Watch. Yeah,
395
00:24:00.359 --> 00:24:04.759
Parliating Watch is a lost gem.
We have Open Powerlifting, which is
396
00:24:04.759 --> 00:24:07.599
cool, and they do an insane
amount of data and statistics. Well,
397
00:24:07.640 --> 00:24:11.839
I think that I think that some
of the controversy. I don't know the
398
00:24:11.240 --> 00:24:15.160
the open parliating guys, but some
of the controversy comes in the fact that
399
00:24:15.200 --> 00:24:18.200
they list, you know, basically
what they're given. Yeah, right,
400
00:24:18.240 --> 00:24:22.799
right, and which I think if
you're doing stats is what you have to
401
00:24:22.799 --> 00:24:26.079
go by. I think so too. But but they got white lights.
402
00:24:26.200 --> 00:24:29.200
Yeah, you gotta take it.
Yeah, But that's that hypes it up
403
00:24:29.200 --> 00:24:30.720
because like, oh, it's a
legitimate because it's on there. Yeah,
404
00:24:30.759 --> 00:24:38.240
And you have to as a discerning
consumer of like you know, powerlifting judging,
405
00:24:38.319 --> 00:24:41.319
you have to know that sometimes it's
going to be bs. Yeah.
406
00:24:41.319 --> 00:24:45.640
I think we need a little UFC
type shit, you know, get a
407
00:24:45.640 --> 00:24:48.920
little Twitter fingers And whoever, what
weight class was he two seventy five or
408
00:24:48.960 --> 00:24:52.920
something? Whoever that fucking other two
seventy five is I'm on this dude's ass
409
00:24:52.960 --> 00:24:55.680
on Twitter. Yeah, you know, I think that's what the sport kind
410
00:24:55.680 --> 00:24:56.599
of needs. One a little bit
of hype. It doesn't have to be
411
00:24:56.640 --> 00:25:00.440
negative, and it doesn't have to
come out to fucking slashing tires and fighting,
412
00:25:00.519 --> 00:25:03.240
but you know, let a little
competitiveness come out. If I'm if
413
00:25:03.279 --> 00:25:06.839
I'm a good two seventy five or
even a top five, I'm probably chomping
414
00:25:06.880 --> 00:25:08.319
at that guy. Yeah, I've
just never been good enough a power left
415
00:25:08.440 --> 00:25:11.200
to let a rip, but I
would let a rip. Man. Hey,
416
00:25:11.200 --> 00:25:14.599
bro, that's cool. You're over
there in the fucking pee wee leagues.
417
00:25:14.640 --> 00:25:17.160
Yeah, come over here to the
WRPF before we get judged tight and
418
00:25:17.240 --> 00:25:18.759
let's go head to head. I'll
buy your entry or something. You know.
419
00:25:18.920 --> 00:25:21.880
I would, I would be doing
shit like that. I think that
420
00:25:21.880 --> 00:25:25.960
would be good for the sport.
Russ Russ Swoll and that kind of squad's
421
00:25:26.079 --> 00:25:27.759
one that talks about it a lot
too, and I think Garrett as well,
422
00:25:27.799 --> 00:25:30.599
where like not that you need shit
talk, but you kind of need
423
00:25:30.720 --> 00:25:37.000
storylines, and storylines only really come
with like off the field drama in a
424
00:25:37.039 --> 00:25:41.079
sense of adversity of some kind of
competitiveness. Yeah, you need a rival
425
00:25:41.119 --> 00:25:44.839
in a way, right and if
no one's you know, you can all
426
00:25:44.839 --> 00:25:45.880
be friends. You can have a
beer afterwards. I don't give a shit,
427
00:25:47.000 --> 00:25:48.559
or you know, say in the
leagues like that too, you know,
428
00:25:48.680 --> 00:25:52.920
like Lebron James and Kevin Durant are
buddies, but they're gonna talk a
429
00:25:52.960 --> 00:25:55.400
little mess, you know, and
they're definitely gonna try to win. Yeah,
430
00:25:55.480 --> 00:25:57.359
Kevin Rant came out recently, which
is an interesting quote. I think
431
00:25:57.400 --> 00:26:03.039
he said, uh, because the
biggest knock on the NBA now is maybe
432
00:26:03.039 --> 00:26:07.160
similar to the powerlifting or powerlifting in
the West Side days. Guys would fight
433
00:26:07.240 --> 00:26:10.559
and you know, you hate each
other in NBA too. You know,
434
00:26:10.599 --> 00:26:15.519
there's numerous videos of Jordan's shoving guys
and talking shit where they say, now
435
00:26:15.559 --> 00:26:18.519
because the Internet age or maybe the
soft generation or whatever, that they're all
436
00:26:18.559 --> 00:26:22.759
friends. And Kevin Durant I think
it was literally last week because he played
437
00:26:22.839 --> 00:26:26.480
Lebron and they're smiling and high five
en after the game or whatever. People
438
00:26:26.880 --> 00:26:29.880
talk shit on that, say yo, like Larry Bird would never, you
439
00:26:29.880 --> 00:26:32.519
know, Jordan would never. And
he said, oh, which you guys
440
00:26:32.559 --> 00:26:36.440
don't know, is that friends actually
want to win more. That makes sense,
441
00:26:36.519 --> 00:26:38.119
which which I see a side.
I don't know if I was ever
442
00:26:38.240 --> 00:26:44.119
like that, because there's you know, you grow up playing basketball long enough,
443
00:26:44.119 --> 00:26:48.119
you're going to see the same kids
everywhere, whether it's college or leagues
444
00:26:48.200 --> 00:26:51.079
or charity tournaments or whatever. And
so there's a couple of guys that would
445
00:26:51.079 --> 00:26:55.920
become friendly without you know, you'd
give a mutual respect, but came recognize
446
00:26:55.920 --> 00:26:57.559
the game. Yeah kind of.
But I don't know if I ever I
447
00:26:57.559 --> 00:27:00.119
don't know if my friends on the
other team, if I want to beat
448
00:27:00.160 --> 00:27:03.400
them more than a guy I hate
hate pretty powerful man, you guys,
449
00:27:03.440 --> 00:27:07.359
go go watch episode three, you
know, obi wan, I'll fucking show
450
00:27:07.400 --> 00:27:12.480
you that HET's powerful. Yeah.
So I don't know about that in powerlifting,
451
00:27:12.519 --> 00:27:15.960
but if I'm whoever two seventy five
ers or whoever this dude is,
452
00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:18.440
I'd call his asset right now.
Yeah. It's a couple of other things
453
00:27:18.440 --> 00:27:21.559
that Garrett said that I agree with. Like he said, if somebody gave
454
00:27:21.559 --> 00:27:23.839
me the white lights, I would
take him to Yeah, you can't always
455
00:27:23.839 --> 00:27:26.799
blame the lifter. Even though a
couple of people have denied world records based
456
00:27:26.839 --> 00:27:30.240
on bad performances of their own.
I forgot who that was. But a
457
00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:33.039
couple of years ago, someone squad
a world record and said, nah,
458
00:27:33.079 --> 00:27:36.559
it wasn't up to my own standard. But the only thing too And obviously
459
00:27:36.599 --> 00:27:37.880
I'm not on their strength level,
so I can't say, but there are
460
00:27:37.960 --> 00:27:41.960
lifters that get do it consistently.
Is just like, if you train to
461
00:27:42.039 --> 00:27:47.000
standard, you'll compete to standard.
That makes sense, you know what I
462
00:27:47.000 --> 00:27:48.960
mean? So like, why are
you having this moral standard issue with what
463
00:27:49.039 --> 00:27:52.960
white lights you've given? If you
know you lift good, yeah, yeah,
464
00:27:53.000 --> 00:27:55.880
you know, like yeah, you're
always going to be nervous to hit
465
00:27:55.920 --> 00:27:57.920
death. But like I feel like
it shouldn't be as much of a conversation
466
00:27:59.000 --> 00:28:03.200
as it is. Just train,
just train better, train more standard.
467
00:28:03.240 --> 00:28:04.119
I mean we see it in here
all the time. People squad high at
468
00:28:04.119 --> 00:28:07.039
ship and I'm like, well,
good luck at your meat you know,
469
00:28:07.200 --> 00:28:10.240
yeah, And that's that was obviously
the big thing with the geared era is
470
00:28:10.279 --> 00:28:14.319
that it was really hard to squat
to depth period, let alone, it
471
00:28:14.319 --> 00:28:15.519
would it would take so much out
of you if you did it in training,
472
00:28:15.799 --> 00:28:22.000
yeah, and then but then doing
it on meat day you would try
473
00:28:22.680 --> 00:28:26.039
uh to soordiating you down there and
kind of rely on the fact that somebody
474
00:28:26.039 --> 00:28:29.119
who's gonna be you a gift,
and that's yeah, you just judgment.
475
00:28:29.200 --> 00:28:32.440
At least we'll give you a gift. Yeah, the sports obviously it's almost
476
00:28:32.440 --> 00:28:33.759
just a different sport. But yeah, you're just hoping to stand up not
477
00:28:33.920 --> 00:28:37.839
die. Yeah, exactly, we're
like raw. I mean, if you're
478
00:28:37.960 --> 00:28:41.759
raw, especially with sleeves let alone, I mean raps. Still you can
479
00:28:41.920 --> 00:28:44.759
be so consistent. You know,
there's just so many less factors than a
480
00:28:44.799 --> 00:28:48.359
squat suit. So just fucking squad
normal and and and how the sports progress.
481
00:28:48.440 --> 00:28:52.799
You know, people are they're going
nine for nine, you know,
482
00:28:52.839 --> 00:28:55.880
they're coming well planned out. They're
not. They're not coming in you know,
483
00:28:55.920 --> 00:28:59.680
on a coin flip. And the
same with regular sports. You know,
484
00:28:59.720 --> 00:29:02.880
it's just it's just grown. You're
you're not going into an NBA game
485
00:29:03.000 --> 00:29:07.599
championship and shooting a shot you've never
shot before. You know, you're doing
486
00:29:07.599 --> 00:29:11.400
shit. You're not. You don't
not throw a curveball season. Now you're
487
00:29:11.440 --> 00:29:12.599
in the World Series, right,
you're like, I'm gonna let this one
488
00:29:12.640 --> 00:29:15.599
rip. Like no, like you're
throwing the pitches you have in your pocket.
489
00:29:15.839 --> 00:29:18.599
It's not like a marathon where you're
not running. You're not really running
490
00:29:18.640 --> 00:29:22.440
twenty six miles before you, before
you the marathon, your even that twelve
491
00:29:22.480 --> 00:29:26.720
thirteen and yeah yeah, yeah even
yeah even that's like just a mental test
492
00:29:26.720 --> 00:29:30.319
because the variables are so gone.
But yeah, yeah, that that is
493
00:29:30.400 --> 00:29:32.279
kind of how I was raised on
it too, like, oh, you
494
00:29:32.319 --> 00:29:33.960
hit five hundred and training good,
you'll be good for five fifty on game
495
00:29:34.039 --> 00:29:37.119
day? Like, oh will you
like that is kind of how they thought.
496
00:29:37.880 --> 00:29:40.759
That did happen to me? But
yeah, yeah, it happened to
497
00:29:40.759 --> 00:29:42.799
me too, Like most of my
prs are are in meat, so get
498
00:29:42.839 --> 00:29:45.119
all revved up, and I wouldn't
be reripped up in training and and the
499
00:29:45.160 --> 00:29:48.319
style of training we did. But
nowadays it's just not like that because people
500
00:29:48.359 --> 00:29:52.480
are so competitive that you kind of
have to go, you know, seven,
501
00:29:52.519 --> 00:29:55.759
eight, nine for nine to even
have a chance. So the untested
502
00:29:55.799 --> 00:29:57.720
world is a little bit different still, but I think a lot of them
503
00:29:57.759 --> 00:30:02.279
are evolving that you have a game
plan, you got to follow it out.
504
00:30:02.279 --> 00:30:07.079
But I just don't get I guess
I don't get squatting high as a
505
00:30:07.119 --> 00:30:10.119
thing, especially if you're like the
best, right because normally, like it's
506
00:30:10.119 --> 00:30:15.319
the only sport where the best are
can off, not it's the only sport
507
00:30:15.319 --> 00:30:21.079
where the best in the sport may
not be the most skilled. Oh yeah,
508
00:30:21.160 --> 00:30:22.160
right, right, Like, whoever
this guy is, I don't know
509
00:30:22.200 --> 00:30:25.039
who he is. Sorry if I'm
ripping you, buddy, maybe we're even
510
00:30:25.079 --> 00:30:26.920
buddies for all I fucking know.
But well we're not saying his name,
511
00:30:26.960 --> 00:30:29.480
so we're over. Yeah. I
didn't even like click on it. I
512
00:30:29.480 --> 00:30:30.599
didn't even look. I just I
did watch it, but I didn't like
513
00:30:30.759 --> 00:30:34.359
memorize the name or anything. And
I'm intentionally keeping that part vague. It's
514
00:30:34.400 --> 00:30:37.319
just sort of a broader discussion about
it, because like Steph Curry's the fucking
515
00:30:37.359 --> 00:30:40.880
best. Like, you're not gonna
out dribble or out shoot Steph Creek because
516
00:30:40.880 --> 00:30:42.359
he's the best, so then he's
gonna score the most points. But someone
517
00:30:42.359 --> 00:30:47.119
in powerlifting can like score the most
points. And I'm a better squatter than
518
00:30:47.119 --> 00:30:48.880
them. Yeah, because they're not
they're not a technical squad. Yeah,
519
00:30:48.920 --> 00:30:52.640
they're just like not skilled at all
a brute strength. Yeah, yeah,
520
00:30:52.680 --> 00:30:56.000
they just have genetics or steroids that
Yeah, other folks don't have, you
521
00:30:56.039 --> 00:31:00.200
know, which is weird. Maybe
that happens in football sometimes, but rarely
522
00:31:00.240 --> 00:31:03.559
happens in any sport. Baseball definitely
won't happen. Like, you have to
523
00:31:03.599 --> 00:31:06.000
be the skill. You have to
be the best to be the best,
524
00:31:06.240 --> 00:31:07.839
And in this sport, you could
be the strongest and be the worst.
525
00:31:08.359 --> 00:31:14.920
Like you could be very unskilled,
untalented, unexperienced, unscerebral about at all
526
00:31:14.960 --> 00:31:18.000
and somehow get a world record.
Yeah. I used to say, never
527
00:31:18.079 --> 00:31:19.799
follow a freak. Yeah yeah,
yeah, you can literally just be a
528
00:31:19.799 --> 00:31:23.240
freak, And we say that in
other sports. But like people say,
529
00:31:23.319 --> 00:31:26.920
Lebron's a freak, but he's also
just as skilled as he is freaky.
530
00:31:26.960 --> 00:31:29.440
That's the only way, Yeah,
right, Because I've played with guys that
531
00:31:29.480 --> 00:31:32.599
were like freaky like Lebron, but
had no skill, and then they're in
532
00:31:32.680 --> 00:31:34.160
junior college. Yeah you know what
I mean, they're jumping through the roof.
533
00:31:34.160 --> 00:31:37.599
They're six six, two hundred and
twenty pounds, jacked out of the
534
00:31:37.640 --> 00:31:40.119
brains, but they don't have that
skill, so you don't get there.
535
00:31:40.160 --> 00:31:41.759
We're powerlifting. You can sneak your
way through, even strong man. I
536
00:31:41.799 --> 00:31:45.240
don't think you can sneak your way
through anymore. Yeah, you know,
537
00:31:45.279 --> 00:31:48.279
because the game's evolved. Yeah maybe
back in the day, you're just a
538
00:31:48.319 --> 00:31:51.799
brute. Yeah, and the technique
hasn't caught up. But now all those
539
00:31:51.799 --> 00:31:53.920
guys are technical as shit with the
stones and technical as shit with the log
540
00:31:55.039 --> 00:31:59.160
right, so they're strong and technical, you're screwed. Another point that Garrett
541
00:31:59.160 --> 00:32:01.279
made, I thought that was interesting, and it certainly it's something that I've
542
00:32:01.279 --> 00:32:06.079
observed in the in the untested world, in the geared world or whatever,
543
00:32:07.440 --> 00:32:15.759
especially back in the multiplay days,
that lifters would be positive to each other
544
00:32:15.920 --> 00:32:21.640
in person and maybe positive about somebody
else's you know, high squad or bench
545
00:32:21.680 --> 00:32:25.000
that wasn't locked out or deadlift that
wasn't locked out or whatever on social media,
546
00:32:25.440 --> 00:32:30.359
and then privately to their to their
other friends, talk shit, talk
547
00:32:30.440 --> 00:32:35.960
shit. And I saw that more
often than I think that's just human nature,
548
00:32:36.000 --> 00:32:38.680
probably because I'm also the one like
I just hate conflict. I'm not
549
00:32:38.680 --> 00:32:42.759
gonna like, I'm not going to
also rain on your parade in person.
550
00:32:43.240 --> 00:32:45.319
Yeah, you know, like if
you get white lights and I think you're
551
00:32:45.319 --> 00:32:47.319
squat high, I'm not about to
just run up to you and be like
552
00:32:47.440 --> 00:32:50.880
Jim, that squad sucked. Yeah, you know what I mean. So
553
00:32:51.400 --> 00:32:55.480
not that I think talking behind someone's
back is good. Yeah, let's social
554
00:32:55.480 --> 00:32:58.839
media ring a little bit, you
know, I think there is a time
555
00:32:59.279 --> 00:33:05.359
to be a keyboard warrior in the
sense that you don't need to get into
556
00:33:05.400 --> 00:33:08.000
fist fights in person. Yeah,
but you also don't need to be fake
557
00:33:08.079 --> 00:33:13.240
in person. You can be neutral
in person and then you know, be
558
00:33:13.279 --> 00:33:15.319
a little more truthful online because it
is just easier. Like it's you know,
559
00:33:15.359 --> 00:33:17.640
what are you gonna do if you're
at that meeting that guy squat site.
560
00:33:19.000 --> 00:33:21.200
I don't think Garrett's walking up to
him either and saying, hey,
561
00:33:21.240 --> 00:33:23.359
bro, that fucking sucked. He
may not, I don't know, you
562
00:33:23.359 --> 00:33:25.799
know, like maybe at the bar
after hcause I think he's got beat up
563
00:33:25.839 --> 00:33:29.119
for shit like that. But like, you know, I don't know.
564
00:33:29.240 --> 00:33:34.400
I I do agree with the general
point of not being you know, a
565
00:33:34.480 --> 00:33:37.720
sleeves ball and talking shit behind people's
back. But I also don't think you
566
00:33:37.880 --> 00:33:42.119
just go straight up to them and
say they're like, yo, that's up.
567
00:33:43.039 --> 00:33:45.559
That's not going to solve anything either, Yeah, for sure, you
568
00:33:45.599 --> 00:33:47.759
know, but I think they only
solved the only real answer, And that's
569
00:33:47.799 --> 00:33:52.440
what I always look for in anything
business. That lifting the you're right,
570
00:33:52.440 --> 00:33:53.559
we have a problem. How do
you solve it? Is? Is other
571
00:33:53.599 --> 00:33:58.160
two seventy five ers or whoever's in
this dude's weight class, like politely,
572
00:33:58.200 --> 00:34:01.079
not politely call him out in the
sense you need to challenge them, don't
573
00:34:01.119 --> 00:34:04.000
just say like you know, I'm
better on you, bro, say hey
574
00:34:04.000 --> 00:34:07.759
man, great squad. I don't
think it was up to standard company me
575
00:34:07.799 --> 00:34:10.480
at w RPF Pennsylvania. I'll pay
your entry. Let's go ahead to head,
576
00:34:12.079 --> 00:34:14.400
you know, and then and then
and then either the guy shows up
577
00:34:14.719 --> 00:34:17.920
and he does it better or you
just don't show up. The rest will
578
00:34:17.920 --> 00:34:22.760
answer itself, and that's how the
UFC works. I feel like, yeah,
579
00:34:22.840 --> 00:34:24.159
I think that's true too, right, Like guys call each other out
580
00:34:24.199 --> 00:34:29.199
that aren't always going for the belt. You know you're ranked ten, you'll
581
00:34:29.239 --> 00:34:31.079
call out the six guy like that
kind of that kind of matters, and
582
00:34:31.119 --> 00:34:34.920
one it will build a story and
then two you'll see what people are made
583
00:34:34.960 --> 00:34:38.159
of. I think that's the competitiveness
we need. So I think the bottom
584
00:34:38.159 --> 00:34:42.039
line for me is that you just
don't have to pay attention to every single
585
00:34:42.079 --> 00:34:45.760
one of these. Yeah, like
you should definitely, like on social media,
586
00:34:45.840 --> 00:34:52.199
should be congratulatory for the people who
set records, break records, you
587
00:34:52.239 --> 00:34:58.800
know, lift in a in an
admirable way in uh, conditions where the
588
00:34:58.880 --> 00:35:02.280
judging is a pair carently spot on
kind of regardless of where the where the
589
00:35:02.760 --> 00:35:06.760
the federation. If you can look
at a video when you say yeah,
590
00:35:06.800 --> 00:35:08.760
that looks right, Yeah, that
looks right, then then congratulate. But
591
00:35:08.800 --> 00:35:15.480
it doesn't necessary if you're not personally
involved, if you're not personally if you're
592
00:35:15.519 --> 00:35:19.199
not a commentator the way Garrett is
or whatever. Yeah, so that's the
593
00:35:19.239 --> 00:35:22.360
amendment. I guess to my keyboard
warrior thing like, you got to you
594
00:35:22.400 --> 00:35:23.920
gotta have skin in the game.
Yeah, exactly, Like Garrett's been to
595
00:35:23.960 --> 00:35:28.519
every meat on the planet. He's
memorized everyone's prs that's ever lifted a weight
596
00:35:28.519 --> 00:35:30.679
in their life, right, Like, Garrett's got more skin in the game
597
00:35:30.679 --> 00:35:34.760
than most as a competitor, but
definitely as an analyst, you have to
598
00:35:34.760 --> 00:35:37.480
be around the sport and be in
the sport. You can't compete once and
599
00:35:37.519 --> 00:35:39.360
now be critiquing the strongest in the
world, you know, like train with
600
00:35:39.400 --> 00:35:42.800
some cats, be around the game
a bit, you know, same with
601
00:35:42.880 --> 00:35:45.960
like those. Most analysts have either
started at high school, college like Steven
602
00:35:46.000 --> 00:35:50.800
A. Smith, I imagine been
reporting basketball for fifty years, right,
603
00:35:50.840 --> 00:35:53.920
like starting in college to basketball to
pro and if they're not, they played
604
00:35:53.960 --> 00:35:57.880
pro right. And now you have
Shannon Sharp's a big voice in sports,
605
00:35:57.880 --> 00:36:01.639
like they have skin in the game. Critique isn't always perfect, but at
606
00:36:01.719 --> 00:36:07.880
least it has thought behind it.
Yeah, I'm not for random keyboard warriors,
607
00:36:07.920 --> 00:36:09.159
but have you got Yeah, if
you're a big squatter, if you've
608
00:36:09.159 --> 00:36:12.639
been around the sport, if you're
an analyst, yeah, I think your
609
00:36:12.719 --> 00:36:15.199
voice matters to hopefully evolve the sport
at the right place. Well, I
610
00:36:15.199 --> 00:36:17.639
got one more department. I want
to roll out here for the first time.
611
00:36:17.880 --> 00:36:22.480
And I'm stealing this the title of
this from other podcasts, but we're
612
00:36:22.480 --> 00:36:29.480
gonna do it our own way that
I'm calling this three things, So three
613
00:36:30.320 --> 00:36:37.519
social media accounts that are not in
the fitness space that you enjoy most.
614
00:36:37.559 --> 00:36:49.280
And I just followed a sick one
yesterday. I got you guys this one.
615
00:36:49.320 --> 00:36:54.840
I think I don't know where I
stole it. Maybe on my Discovery
616
00:36:55.599 --> 00:37:04.599
non fitness you said, non Fitness
Star. I hate sometimes I do feel
617
00:37:04.599 --> 00:37:07.039
like a gate keeper hipster that I
don't want to share, but I'll get
618
00:37:07.039 --> 00:37:13.159
over it. Star World Lab okay, And they just do like crazy shit
619
00:37:13.239 --> 00:37:17.840
in the world, just like anything
from there's like a new island that just
620
00:37:17.840 --> 00:37:21.960
formed the Pacific. Did you see
that? No, So some volcano went
621
00:37:22.000 --> 00:37:28.159
crazy and literally formed a new island
six hundred and twenty miles south of Tokyo.
622
00:37:28.480 --> 00:37:34.320
So it does stuff like that.
Or Kanye West built a whole studio
623
00:37:34.480 --> 00:37:37.159
in the middle of nowhere, Saudi
Arabia and like some oasis city they post
624
00:37:37.199 --> 00:37:43.840
about that. There's like these fucking
blue Java bananas, just like crazy.
625
00:37:43.880 --> 00:37:46.440
This is the texture doesn't look really
weird. This is the texture. Flavor
626
00:37:46.480 --> 00:37:50.800
is vanilla ice cream and it's a
natural fruit. So it just posts like
627
00:37:50.880 --> 00:37:54.159
crazy, kind of mind bending type
shit. I really like that. I'm
628
00:37:54.159 --> 00:38:00.239
trying to think of another good one
that I have Recently. I follow a
629
00:38:00.239 --> 00:38:04.360
lot of dog ones like Rescues kind
of makes me sad and not sad.
630
00:38:04.840 --> 00:38:07.800
Mm hmm, let's see another one. A lot of them are like fashion
631
00:38:07.840 --> 00:38:10.760
e too. If you guys don't
know who Mao Wolf is, Mao Wolf's
632
00:38:10.760 --> 00:38:15.559
a decent follow. Mao Wolf is
like a artist, but they put on
633
00:38:15.679 --> 00:38:23.039
like like interactive exhibit museum type things, and so he has some really trippy
634
00:38:23.280 --> 00:38:28.280
art direction y posts that are really
cool. If you guys have heard I
635
00:38:28.320 --> 00:38:30.679
think it's is a Era fifteen,
Area fifty one, Area fifty one,
636
00:38:31.079 --> 00:38:34.800
No, like the exhibition, Oh
exhibition, I don't know. I think
637
00:38:34.800 --> 00:38:37.280
it might be Area fifteen. It
might be Area fifty one too, But
638
00:38:37.320 --> 00:38:43.199
it's basically like a like a super
interactive like in person almost video game treasure
639
00:38:43.280 --> 00:38:45.559
hunt you can do in this crazy
looking building. And that's him. That's
640
00:38:45.559 --> 00:38:50.280
in Vegas. I forgot what it
was called, but yeah, Mao Wolf
641
00:38:50.320 --> 00:38:55.000
would be another good one. It's
another good follow. I'm just scrolling around
642
00:38:55.039 --> 00:39:07.159
like crazy. Yeah, I follow
a bunch of random ship I do too,
643
00:39:07.280 --> 00:39:14.880
but I mean there's some basic ones. Oh shout out my boy dude.
644
00:39:14.880 --> 00:39:15.639
I haven't met him yet, but
I wanted. His name is Andrew
645
00:39:15.679 --> 00:39:22.480
Dutton ad underscore sneaks. Uh.
He's a teacher, but he does like
646
00:39:22.719 --> 00:39:25.480
sneaker and fashion photography on the sign
on the side, and his photography is
647
00:39:25.519 --> 00:39:29.400
insane. I followed him a couple
of months ago. I like his content
648
00:39:29.440 --> 00:39:31.920
a ton ad Underscore sneak. Shout
out to Andrew. Uh. He looks
649
00:39:31.920 --> 00:39:35.920
like he's maybe about my age and
he's just a grade school teacher, but
650
00:39:35.960 --> 00:39:39.760
he's super into like clothes and shit
and his photography is insane. If you
651
00:39:39.800 --> 00:39:46.400
guys are into shit like that,
maybe him, Okay, you got my
652
00:39:46.599 --> 00:39:51.239
number number one. It's not fitness, it is it's a sport, but
653
00:39:51.280 --> 00:40:01.079
not not fitness, is uh.
Ash Watson, former uh British uh gymnastics
654
00:40:01.159 --> 00:40:07.159
champ. Uh little guy I mean, I mean he's short. Yeah,
655
00:40:07.159 --> 00:40:12.039
he's probably taller than matter here,
but that's also very short but uh,
656
00:40:12.440 --> 00:40:17.719
you know, and and pretty thick
for for gymnastics, like not in the
657
00:40:19.280 --> 00:40:22.639
you know, a lot of gymnasts
are are jacked, but they're but they're
658
00:40:22.880 --> 00:40:25.800
frame is small. This is a
bigger framed guy who is a small guy
659
00:40:25.920 --> 00:40:30.599
at the same time. Yeah.
Uh, And a lot of his account
660
00:40:30.800 --> 00:40:39.639
is uh trying different gymnastics things that
are done by women or done by by
661
00:40:40.400 --> 00:40:49.239
really high level like performing Yeah,
yeah, exactly, exactly. Just try
662
00:40:49.280 --> 00:40:51.079
to do the trick. He just
tays it over. You see, can
663
00:40:51.119 --> 00:40:52.920
watch it doing him doing it over
and over and again until he until he
664
00:40:53.000 --> 00:40:59.199
finally nails it. And he's not
shy about showing you like an ugly fail.
665
00:41:00.119 --> 00:41:01.440
I can't do that. I don't
know why this shit scares me,
666
00:41:01.840 --> 00:41:06.119
So I just feel like a joint
is going to get dislocated somewhere. Uh
667
00:41:06.199 --> 00:41:08.199
yeah, yeah, I think that's
possible. I haven't seen anything terrible like
668
00:41:08.280 --> 00:41:13.280
that happening except out he'd post himself
can wrecked. Probably not, but like
669
00:41:13.320 --> 00:41:16.199
he I mean, they also do
a lot of you know, there's a
670
00:41:16.239 --> 00:41:19.760
lot of pads down like that,
and it's like he's not He's not gonna
671
00:41:19.760 --> 00:41:22.199
break his neck probably. Yeah.
I'll just watched like yeah, like Travis
672
00:41:22.199 --> 00:41:25.880
Pastrana and even th that Sean White
stuff. You see them like practicing over
673
00:41:25.920 --> 00:41:29.039
and over. Yeah, it just
makes me like cringe, like all dude,
674
00:41:29.079 --> 00:41:31.280
I know something bad's about to happen. Yeah. Yeah. Another one
675
00:41:31.280 --> 00:41:36.239
of my like very long time favorites
is Smoking Tire. Yeah they're good.
676
00:41:36.519 --> 00:41:39.119
Matt Farrah, what's your YouTube A
good amount? Yeah, yeah, just
677
00:41:39.119 --> 00:41:43.199
because they'll do like old BMW's and
cool shit and yeah, they'll grab like
678
00:41:43.239 --> 00:41:45.719
a random kid who stooped up his
car and take them for a drive.
679
00:41:45.880 --> 00:41:50.360
Yeah. And I mean his his
social media is good, does a lot
680
00:41:50.400 --> 00:41:52.239
of cool stuff. There's a lot
of food and and and stuff in his
681
00:41:52.320 --> 00:41:58.039
social media. And then the YouTube
videos are are are good. Yeah.
682
00:41:58.159 --> 00:42:01.760
Probably the thing that hooked me years
ago, probably fuck probably twelve years ago,
683
00:42:04.639 --> 00:42:07.679
is how much fun he has doing
this stuff. Yeah, it seems
684
00:42:07.679 --> 00:42:10.079
like he's still passion over, still
a lot a lot of laugh, a
685
00:42:10.079 --> 00:42:15.440
lot of you know, uh,
just just pure enjoyment of what he's doing.
686
00:42:15.480 --> 00:42:17.880
And it's got it and you know, it's work. People forget that
687
00:42:19.079 --> 00:42:24.400
content creation is straight up work,
very much so. And I'm gonna have
688
00:42:24.440 --> 00:42:29.440
oops, this is loud all of
a sudden. I'm hoping that I can
689
00:42:29.519 --> 00:42:34.239
remember I just watched this guy this
morning. I follow him on TikTok.
690
00:42:35.199 --> 00:42:37.840
Actually, you know what I'm gonna
I'm gonna do another one. I'll save
691
00:42:37.880 --> 00:42:43.119
this one for another time. Another
one that I really enjoy is nobody cares
692
00:42:43.159 --> 00:42:52.360
Anthony. He It's largely like signs
or or ads or whatever. They have
693
00:42:52.599 --> 00:42:58.039
like outrageous typos in them, and
he's got he's from Boston. He's got
694
00:42:58.039 --> 00:43:04.039
a really like thick Boston accent,
and it's they're just fucking hysterical. I
695
00:43:04.079 --> 00:43:07.119
wonder, yeah, I wonder if
people like that can monetize enough that they
696
00:43:07.400 --> 00:43:10.840
get to travel and find signs or
it's really repurposing online. It's a really
697
00:43:10.880 --> 00:43:14.880
good question. I don't know,
And probably the reason that that I'm mentioning
698
00:43:14.960 --> 00:43:16.639
him as opposed to a couple of
the other ones. Is like, yesterday,
699
00:43:16.679 --> 00:43:22.239
I think he had a post about
either. I don't know. It
700
00:43:22.280 --> 00:43:24.960
does not very clear. And this
is a thing about social media. You
701
00:43:25.000 --> 00:43:28.480
know, when somebody posts about somebody
in their life who died, you don't
702
00:43:28.480 --> 00:43:32.480
always know what the what the relationship
was, and you seldom know how they
703
00:43:32.559 --> 00:43:36.760
died or whatever, so they's no
cautionary tale that can be taken there.
704
00:43:37.079 --> 00:43:40.719
You know, accidents and cancer seemed
to be like the leading causes if you
705
00:43:40.800 --> 00:43:45.840
actually hear something. But I think
it was supposed yesterday that he lost a
706
00:43:45.880 --> 00:43:50.559
girlfriend or wife or whatever like six
years ago, and it was like it
707
00:43:50.639 --> 00:43:53.960
was a you know, very sweet
sentimental post that show you that the person
708
00:43:54.199 --> 00:43:58.039
has more than what you're seeing.
Yeah, a little out of the content.
709
00:43:58.199 --> 00:44:01.719
Yeah yeah, and you just you
know, obviously if you're a human
710
00:44:01.760 --> 00:44:06.599
with empathy, you you resonate with
that, start to relate a little bit.
711
00:44:06.679 --> 00:44:10.079
Yeah, But generally there's so like
laugh out loud funny the you know
712
00:44:10.480 --> 00:44:14.519
I see somehow on my discovery,
maybe not him, but random signs that
713
00:44:14.519 --> 00:44:20.960
are funny. Yeah. Just there
was a there was a Facebook marketplace ad
714
00:44:21.159 --> 00:44:24.480
that he was talking about the other
day, and it was somebody was selling
715
00:44:24.840 --> 00:44:30.159
a TV, a you know,
flat screen TV's a woman. She took
716
00:44:30.199 --> 00:44:36.440
a picture of the TV. But
she is buck naked and a reflection or
717
00:44:36.480 --> 00:44:40.880
something. Yeah, oh yeah,
oh yeah, and she's got like her
718
00:44:42.039 --> 00:44:45.639
her nipples and her hips are touching
pretty much nice. Yeah, He's like,
719
00:44:46.079 --> 00:44:51.039
it's like they're extra limbs of Facebook
fling that. This is a really
720
00:44:51.079 --> 00:44:52.440
good question. I don't know,
because they're not paying attention. I don't
721
00:44:52.480 --> 00:44:55.400
know. I'm sure I got it
at some point. That's wild. Yeah.
722
00:44:55.440 --> 00:44:59.599
He was even like turning the telling
you to turn the picture in different
723
00:44:59.599 --> 00:45:02.320
ways. You can like see different
things if you keep turning it, and
724
00:45:02.760 --> 00:45:07.440
you know a lot of you know, just funny stuff. We I should
725
00:45:07.480 --> 00:45:09.760
mention this because I'm sure nobody got
it. But the episode that we did
726
00:45:09.880 --> 00:45:16.199
