And told me, is that what he started? Then? Porn star and then now you're a of probably makes more money? I think, I think so. Isn't that crazy? And went backwards with everything else? Like music went backwards. Used to make a ton of money because you'd have sales and merch and all this stuff. And then now you're on streaming and the only way you make money is concerts. That's why there everyone's on tour all the time. Where it seems like porn went back and forth back forth, right, like used to be magazines. Probably got paid a band, then it went to streaming. He probably got no money. Yeah, and then now they switched over to of or now there's like a million of them. He's been as porn star since twenty sixteen. That's not that's not that long. But I that's when I started high school, that I was a freshman. They do a time duration. I'm just dissolving to dust.

Oh you think it would be a fetish. I mean there there's a market for that. You're better off than that than having like nothing special about you.
4:00 Yeah, yeah, tiny dig fetish. Yeah, like humiliation stuff. I could see you ill you was crazy. I know. It's like you're scrolling through, You're trying to find some good ship, and then like all of a sudden, it's like it's some fucking like two dudes kissing. I'm just like, what the Sometimes you get filtered through, like with your like what you like, it gets filtered through on what you filtered to watch you. Yeah, it's on the for you page. It's on your for you page. Getting your ball stomped and dudes kissing them high heels like stiletto heels right into the I don't know how dudes take that ship, bro, Brobbie, well, like, how do you still your nuts after?

Face right now. Yeah, it was bad. We didn't know. We just knew he fucked him up. And then uh, uh, how do you do it though? Like did he just elbow him or something? So the kid was just like standing right like playing defense, and my boy just went for a layup and when you jump off one foot, your other leg goes up and just need him right there and then just got caught. Uh. The only way we knew is someone went to that school transferred to our school the next year and told us because we knew he was obviously injured, but like, like why we didn't know it straight bust Yeah, talk about busting a nut like in the in the Worst Boy.

Yeah, ever since I came here. Yeah, he told me you never seen a vein in his life. Yeah, high school athlete, you never saw a vein in his hand. Dude, I was like to seventy five when I was playing football and telling me your height, don't lie? All right, I'm like five three, he said.

Yeah, five five is still very short. Hey, it's pretty good for Asian. Though. Is he actually five six? We've measured this three times. I don't know. Man, My boy baby, my boy baby was trying to throw shots at my my boy baby probably five five five six. I don't know. I've still never met him, but uh, he'll be throwing shots in the d MS at my height. But I think he wants me part of the small guy club. You know, he's trying to like bring me, he's trying to bring me down with YouTube. But you are down a small though, bro, I'm like five ten in the same club as Jerry. No, you and Jerry in the same club. Yeah, we're in the same club. We are in the same club. We are in the same middle ground ground. If you like under five eight, you're in that club. You're the small Kings. Yeah, see Kings brother.
12:03 At least he's proud of it. You're denying it almost makes you below his club. You're below me. Now, hey, wait, he's trying to get He's trying to get from a small king to short king. Same thing, same thing, same thing. I'm thinking like five three and blow has got to be like shorter than short King though. Yeah, I don't even know if there's because they were doing that. That means me and Argent the same club, Like, come on, don't do that. Yeah you are. I mean r Archie rg is kind of small. You too, I'm like a hair taller than him. Yeah, right, same club though. I mean, if you have a plaque, if you can park in a certain you're in a different category. Because Francis why all our average height of member has got to be like five four, Yeah, because there's a bunch of Asian people here. Yeah, that's crazy. There's a lot. Yeah, yeah, for sure, a lot of Francis r J. Probably the same height, right, I think, friends, I swear that you're definitely in that club, though, don't think you're not. Me and Sebouts club.
13:09 Me and Sebouts are closer to Kyle's club, no, further away from his club. You're more likely to be in his club. The difference between you and Coyle is like me and you. Yeah, this level, That's what I'm saying. I'm more likely in Kyle's than yours. No, no, you're not, though, That's what I'm saying. But we're all above average. What are we talking about now? Everywhere? Everything, all skills, all lengths, everywhere, all the time. Length, all lengths, all skills, all girths. I'm above average, I Q all of it, personality like me, worth, you name it. I'm above average, short, tall, I'm not short or small. You're tall, Yeah you're not. That's what I'm saying. I wouldn't consider Mike, bro, you're five. I would consider Mike like you know, like, yeah, above average. Only why you saying it? Because he's so big, bro, it just doesn't make him look as tall if I was skinny jet is my height. That dude is tall muscles. Yeah, the jet has never touched up the steak and his like you know. That's my point is I'm closer to Cale and you're down there with R and Francis J and France's buddy.
14:22 Same with you. You look shorter than you are because you're thick. That is true. I look shorter than like Francis and right. My mom was like, oh, she saw me walking out. She's like, Jerry, does your mom have an accent? No? I was about to say, give it to us. No, I don't know. They don't have accents that my grandparents do. But they're dead. Whoa, whoa anymore? Yeah, they don't don't have accent. No more is dust so old farts, fossils. Yeah, anyway, man, you try to you try to test how it is to get fired. Be talking crazy. She's like, nah, I'm pretty sure I will never get fired. Just lays it all out first episode. Okay, okay, let's add it wrinkle to the to the if you would do porn and how much it would cost them h story.
15:13 I don't know if you all have been following the the British royal family and the fact that the next in line to the throne, William, Prince William. Yeah, his wife has like fucking disappeared off the face of the earth somehow, haven't heard that. And the last h the last like picture of her was from you know, UK Mother's Day, which was like a couple of weeks ago, and it was photoshopped, it was altered. Oh she's dead. He killed her. Question about whether she's dead number one or she had some kind of abdominal surgery or whatever. But the other rumor is that he's been having an affair with another woman, which one's the Epstein one.
16:00 Andrew he's there, that's their uncle uncle, Yeah, princess dies brother. No, no, no, I think that it's the king's brother, all right, so like die his cousins. I think Andrews either Andrews. I mean, what's his name? What is he going by? Uh? Andrew, George, George. He's King George. I changed my name too. Uh yeah, exactly, You're on every fucking Yeah he's been. He's been kind of disobed a while. But the story about this this girlfriend of Prince Williams, Yeah, pegging, pegging, what is that? Don't lie to us, dog, you ain't fucking scrolling around talking about nuts getting squished and don't know what getting pegged is. But for real, lady will take a strap on and do you. I guess a guy could do it too, a guy. If a guy has a strap on a doozy, I guess that's pegging too. But normally may it sounds like yours a small so for you to just lease a man, you probably need strap Just shove it.
17:11 Wait no, wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait clip I need that. Typically, typically pegging would be viewed at from the outside world. I don't know what it's viewed that in the culture, but from the outside world it's normally like, you know, kind of a switch of the masculinity or who wears the pants right? So not only is it, you know, physically a thing, but you're also kind of getting degraded as a man. And in some people's eyes, it involves aftermarket equipment, let's say, yeah, and not the o em. You need a coffee before too. If I ever see whatever Prince fase you like, Peggy, I'm screaming in the crowd thearade. No, you're dead, bro. They don't run laws like we do. It's allowed to just talk every other country like this.
18:00 They don't have weapons out there, that's true. No, they do, you don't. That's the difference. They do, you don't. The guards they got guns, No, they all do. Yeah, the people don't. That's the issue. You don't think the English military got guns. They're weak though. Who do you think runs them? The Prince that you're making fun of. No, cops don't carry guns. Yeah, that's true. I don't carry guns. That's true. They literally have prince. Yeah you're talking to the prince. Then how are the cops gonna stop like crazy people? The cops are with them. The military is with the Prince. Yeah, the Prince do whatever he wants. They got good dead buddy. Wait, so I thought they I thought, like the Prince thing, it was just like all for fun out there. I thought it was like I thought they didn't really do that, Like they kind of do stuff. They do like government like stuff. But like now they'd be doing they look pretty and they don't they want them alive. Yeah, they'd be doing it.
18:51 It's it's largely ceremonial, but there's but it's not one If they really want to go to war, they're probably going to go to war, Like the King's got to agree to that. Kings got to agree if the so he still has to say like yeah for sure, Like whoever the Prime minister is that the King's got to bless that? Yeah, yeah, obvious. They're really letting a guy who gets pegged make decisions for him, so that the king also might be dead. That's another. That's another. He's photoshopped too, and nobody's seen him because he's got cancer, he's got prostate cancer and nobody's seen him in a minute. Interesting apparently, just in the last few days, the BBC, the you know, the not that so stupid, not that kind of BBC. Kindergarters on the podcast today, why don't we get ourselves into there's the British broadcasting idiot. Somebody somebody hit the ejective.
19:44 We know what the other one means, idiot, you got to spell it out, we know. But big black caucus. Yes, the British broadcast the King idiots. Of course, because the British let Jim Finish, let they turned all their logos black a few days ago, which is the thing that they do when they royal, when the royalties. But it's not been so who knows, who knows. I'm good, I'm back and I'm sorry the BBC's he's Batman. So that wrap around is that he gets pegged. Yeah, that was the That is the question, Like, is that does that change the calculation on what you're willing to do? Oh? Yeah, yeah, that's probably non negotional. Yeah, it's probably not negotiable. What's the craziest I think I've said it before. I said, like, if I've never like met the love of my life, and if that's a thing, like let's say true love is a thing, and there's one love of your life. If I feel that and get that and that's all she wants, maybe I'd consider it. That's that's a lot of making the love of my life pegging me. It's crazy. Like you you said, you've never been on a date, so you can't even to love. I mean, I've been on a date, okay, but you never what I'm never like and I'm like, I made love with girl, but like I never, like I never questioned your virginity and I don't know her. I'm just saying, but like I never like Jerry Biden, I'm just saying. I'm just
21:22 saying I don't even know if true love and that one true loves a thing, but if it magically happens like in the movies and I experienced that, I'd imagine that feeling would be so overwhelming I would negotiate things with her. Yeah, yeah, I imagine if that's a thing, right, this shining star of a human showsen in my life, then everything's negotiable. You know, I'll chop off my left arm for my hypothetical wife popping. Yeah romantic, Right, that's romantic. It can be, Mike, can we get that? Yeah, that's very romantic. I do have a nice pooper. You know. She might be into it was the thing though one time thing payout or like the rumor is like that's that was kind of part of the Really Yeah, I don't think. I think it's kind of like a lot of things where you just kind of it's not food where people compare a lot of these things to food. But I don't think you really need to try it to know if you'd like you can have an idea, right, you know what I mean? Is it like those bodybuilders in Saudi Arabia? You know, like like yeah, like yeah, I think it's just like that because like you know, like once you get to like a certain like amount of like fame or like whatever, you know, like these these these people get money and they start feeling weird about themselves, like, oh, try to explore. I think that if you're at a certain level of fame, because like when you have a sexual scale, yeah, you probably have a lot of experiences and they may get dull, so you may chase different stimuli or experiences. Yeah. I would make the argument that steroids play into that
22:53 as well, perhaps perhaps, I mean, steroids just make you crazy though, well, they can do a lot of things. Yeah, they make you dumber, that's proven. They can make your emotions go high and low. Proven I heard it just and enhances who you really are though emotionally that's what they say. Yeah, but but I would say heightens, not enhances. I don't think it makes anybody better at being a person. It might not make you more empathetic, but if you're angry, yeah might it might. But yeah, it has proven that that that it can deteriorate your IQ a little bit. Okay, yeah happen. Yeah, a lot of things can happen. But I don't know if it necessarily like turns you gay. Is that what you're saying. No, I don't think it just opens up No, I don't think it opens the exit for more exploration. But I do think that if you've had a lot of experiences and maybe had an excess of normal sex, Yeah, yeah, because you see it with rock stars and you see with NBA players, and there's rumors that you know they probably have you know, a lot of like done, like a lot of partners, a lot of fun that maybe they want to heighten that fun. Yeah.
24:00 Yeah, but it sounds like you want to heighten the fun. You ain't had that many partners. You want your balls stepped on? You? Do you want to see what it feels like? No, I don't want. I just want to pick some kids. Oh, I just want to have kids. And you think you're ready to settle down like that. You want to have kids, not be with kids. Oh yeah, I want to have Oh no, I'm not pre ordering out here, pre order but no, you're young enough. I want I want to have kids in the future though, Yeah, for sure, like it's something I look forward to, like said an alarm. Yeah, it's been a fire alarm the whole morning. Oh, the nice Jerry did something. Yeah I heard, I heard going off. Nice, I didn't hear it. I love how we can hear everything. Anyway, What about you, Mike, would you like to have kids in the future? I always say kind of that same argument, like if hypothetical love and all this thing. So for me, people ask me that a lot now, right, because I'm like thirty five, so people ask me that a ton, But like to me, that's like reverse order, like what I hypothetically like to find like the perfect partner to then start a life with. Yeah, but like there's steps, you know what I mean. Yeah, it's like, oh, do you want to be a world champion, Like, well, I don't even know what powerlifting is, right, you got to know what powerlifting is. You have to enjoy powerlifting, and then you go to the IPF. So it's like I'm not just going to like adopt the kid on my own now, if that's the question, Like my and I think that's actually an issue with this generation
25:32 is people see this end goal and then they skip these chapters. Yeah, so like I want I want kids, and women too like I want kids, I want to get married. Then they'll just marry, they'll settle they'll settle for a partner. I mean, why do you think divorce rates are so high because they're seeing this end goal, like, yeah, I want a white pick of fence, a golden retriever, and a kid, and then you grab whatever dude gets you there or whatever woman gets you there right where mine's backwards, like I need If my step one is good, then yeah, I want to go to step two, and you know, I want to go to step three, but I'm not just gonna skips step one and two. And just like grab a partner to have a kid with, you want to take baby steps towards it, but not baby So they just got to line up. They just got to line up, Like if if that person comes in my life, that's supposed to build a life with me, whatever you believe in destiny or love or whatever the shit, if that happens, and yeah, and she wants kids and we end up with kids.
26:18 But it's never I've never like seen my future like that necessarily because I always like try to as much as I can despite my anxiety. I try to live in the now. You know, it's like what's now look like rather than like, yeah, I need the white pick of fence, and I need four kids. It's just weird to me when people say that, like, yeah, I want it's cool to want kids. I think that's great. I don't want to, you know, shit on anyone's dream life, But like, I think it's weird to me when you're like, yeah, I want two sons and two daughters, Like that's so out of your control. And then they're like, oh I want, like right, yeah, like oh I want. Let's work on building like a good foundational relationship. Let me work on having getting a girlfriend first, yeah, something, you know, the yeah, we have one that I want to be around. Yeah, and then and then you know, you have a kid, and hopefully you just have a beautiful, healthy kid. You're gonna choose a boy or girl like that. I'm not putting them in a lab even though you can probably do that now, Oh you can't. Yeah you can't.
27:07 Yeah, you do some crazy ship anything with money, ivy. Yeah, if you got enough money, you do anything. Yeah. Yeah, all right, a porn career and then marriage or what the free porn career. Yeah, that's how he's gonna pay for this. Yeah, he's gonna pay for his kids through donations doing it for free. He's doing the live camp. He said, he doesn't need a yearly salary over here, Piper for free. He's just wearing you gotta cup out every time. It's just the tips. Please, I'm not as please. I saw it feels on the internet with the square so internet to make money, man, you have there begging. So Mike, since you're kind of like, hit me, what's that? What's that right hand? Though? What? I'm very like visual like yeah, yeah, hit me, bro. But like since you're kind of like you know, kind of famous on the Gram, kind of famous in general and like powerlifting, has there ever been any like girls that have been trying to get at you, bro, Like you don't have to say names, but like as a woman, Yeah, tried to approach me in my life. Yeah yeah, yeah, that's happened. Yes, that has happened. Maybe sliding in the dms. Yeah, so a woman has messaged me. Yeah. Yeah. What's the craziest DM you ever got? Oh yeah, oh there's been crazy, the wildest like so like, uh, it seems like I don't want to categorize people out there, so don't judge me, but it seems like the gay community is a little bit more aggressive.
28:36 So those have been crazy. I mean you did go blond and was like, you know, yeah, I don't know if that has anything to do with anything, but yeah I was blonde. You say it's step one, what is it? Step one? Blonde? Yeah? I thought you were like maybe people thought you were exploring Mike. You know you haven't had a grown along time that you're exploring. Is that what you think? No, you think slip Shady's gay, I mean he had Kim. You gotta say Jake Paul's gay. Jake Paul has like you know, he'd be posting them girls out his arm. Yeah. I don't post my girls on my thing. You know, one's business and one's life. But there's been crazy stuff. I'm not gonna out nobody, but yeah, I mean there's been body parts sent without any unsolicited you know, from both sexes, both sexes, which is crazy. Yeah, both sexes. Really. Yeah, male and female have ended up body parts in my dms with not even like a hello. That's crazy. Oh I wasn't even wear that. I mean titties.
29:33 All I get is like fok accounts trying to add me and text me. Yeah, they're not bots, the ones talking to me, all, I have those two now, but that wasn't a thing everybody's got five years ago. Five years ago, that was a thing. Yeah, stuff like that's happened. And some people say some crazy things. I mean, death threats are crazy. That's happened. You've gotten threats, yeah, for sure for what. I don't know, because I'm pretty neutral of all folks. Yeah, some crazy ones too. People send me pictures of their gun and ship for deadlifting seven or five. I'm gonna kill you, bro of all content. Right, We've we've had a little bit of that, just like in the time that we had the gym up and yeah, it happens. It happens. We have internet ship. Yeah, it's happened probably a handful of times. With me, what I know. That's why it makes me think of like other creators that actually do and say crazy shit. I'm all say crazy shit, but my tone is pretty good. I'm pretty good at delivering jokes. Like people know my tone, you know, by my branding or my brand right, But people that talk politics or people that talk economics, you know, there's way more people you should threaten to kill to me.
30:30 Oh yeah, like Ben Shapiro And then yeah, it was just whoever. Yeah, yeah, like they're just on more controversial hot hot stove topics. Ben Shapiro, This dude just hears one name. He doesn't know shit, Dude, Ben Shapiro's pretty funny though. You are you into politics? No? I just love watching when like they you know, like when those people just come up and try to like give them dumb questions and they just like, uh yeah, stuff like that is funny, like in like an auditorium type setting because the pirate power dynamics so off. Yeah right, it's not a fair debate, So anything you asked me, I'm gonna win when I have them like and you don't. I mean, they get a mic too though, No I know, but it's just a setting. I'm on stage and you're some kid in the crowd. No matter what, you only get to ask you a question. I could spend things however I want.
31:10 Yeah. Plus, whoever's got the mic in the crowd is controlling the mic, so you only get it for however long. That's what I mean. You get to just ask the question, you get to follow up or whatever if they don't want you to. So what else questions you got? Man? It seems like you got a whole interview list for me. I don't know. I'm just thinking that's it. It's just about women in the dms. That's all you care about. The Yeah it happens, that happened. What about what about you, Jim? Well, how are you back in the days? You well, social media wasn't the thing. Like social medi didn't happen till I was, you know, I know, never never had well actually not never, but but maybe once or twice. Ever, that was not a bot. You bought shit all the time. Still uh uh.
32:00 Actually haven't had the guys come at me either, So I don't even know. Honestly, I was dating like back in the day, I didn't do very much of it. So I don't know, I like, or you didn't do very much like you've been married dating? Yeah, I know. I I I had a like, as I said, crazy ex girlfriend in high school and then uh, my my wife is somebody who was my friend in high school. Okay, and we like kept in touch and then later got together. That's pretty cool. So I didn't date a time. Yeah, are you on that tip right now? You're just dating around? Nah? Actually, I'm pretty like outside of this, I'm pretty cool. I'm pretty like a. I don't really like try to holler too much.
32:43 I don't like this. What does that mean outside of this podcast? Outside of no, like outside like like like you know when we're like not doing something, or like you know, when we're just outside chilling. I'm not really like too like big on like hollering at girls. I'm more of just like in the moment, having fun. So you don't like girls, I do like her, but you don't want to date, Okay, I be trying to speak. Yeah, so you're you are actively dating. No, I'm not actively dating actively getting rejected. He's practicing his game. I'm out here practicing, yea training. One thing my friends, do you tell me is that I'm very like I'm a very strong personality. Girls don't like that.
33:30 Maybe not the right maybe not the right girl. I feel like I'm a strong personality in the wrong ways, though I'd be saying out of pocket stuff when we be doing stuff. Yeah, but there's probably some group of women that to find that funny. Why would you want to date a girl that you're gonna have to change your personality for because she's hot. There's a hot girl that's gonna think you're funny though, that's one of the No I understand the attractiveness of a hot woman. Yeah that's nice. Like I'm not gonna go out of my way to go like like like say, for example, you know, like if a girl thought I was ugly, she would not want to talk to me. Right, Maybe it doesn't quite work the same, Like, yeah, women like an attractive man, but what attracts are women is slightly different than what attracts the man. We're uga uga, you know, like we're a little different. Yeah, yeah, it's that easy, right, Like you'll change your whole personality humor for a hot woman.
34:25 Woman's not gonna do that. They'd rather they like an ugly guy. That's that's cool. They got some money maybe, but they but also the right women don't care about that as much. They see the world a little different than us. Yeah, yeah, well they see it a little different sometimes. So so just in terms of like theoretical stuff here, like what about a chick who is also and everyone chick, everyone be okay with chick? Uh? Chick who versus girl versus woman versus lady? Yeah, uh, who is also a little off the chain. Somebody who who matches your energy, matches your energy, is willing to say whatever the fuck they want to. Jerry, sid that's my girl. But I have never found a girl that matches my energy though, Like I don't know, Usually girls are like I'm more uga Uga than like uga uga your typical. I don't think you're gonna find a Yeah, I think you'll find that just tolerates. There's I won't. I have to tell you that maybe you're maybe you're just born in the wrong era because like in the in the earlier years of powerlifting, when there weren't as many women, A lot of those women very mm hmmm.
35:43 They were not like the the the ones we have around now. Not so yeah, like very girly girl yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah now not as much. Back then it was like whatever, all right, to turn this in another direction, This is a question that we've never really asked you. We had them on a bunch. I'm gonna ask you YouTube, Jerry, So, like, how the fuck did you get guys get into this thing, this whole powerless thing thing? Like what how did this start? For you? My mind's easy, washed up athlete, washed up athlete need something to compete in was skinny, got tired of being ultra skinny, picked up a weight, found out there's a sport, joined in, and then JK News and then bar Kwan pioneer for like every Asian kid in this goddamned Yeah, for sure. Oh that's cool doing it just in and it's like a typical at Asian athlete in the two thousands pipeline. Yeah sure, because if you asked like seventy percent of these Asian lifters in here and say they washed up, they all go say they watched JK and they all ended up powerlifting. It's the stereotypical Asian pipeline. Ye, same for you. For me, it was a little different. I was I was I'm still pretty overweight, but I was hell of overweight back like in high school, I was like dimmer, like touching three hundred, but I was playing football.
37:09 I did a little bit of like weightlifting here and there. I as a freshman, I went in, I dead lifted like four or five. I just picked up four five off the ground and like I was like, oh, this is kind of cool. And then like at the time I was watching a lot of like Barbara Gade, I seen Silent Mike a lot on their things, So I was like, Okay, I think there's something I might want to pick up that. But then after that, I didn't really lift no more weights. After that, I just played football a little bit and then just kind of graduated high school, went to work, got even bigger, and then some of my homies they just talked me in and going to the gym and then they tell you they were fat. Yeah, they were telling me I was fat. Yeah, that's good friends. Yeah. No. My homie Vincent, so he was like bodybuilding at the time.
37:49 He'd just be like, you're you're a fat ass. You're a fat fuck. Yeah. I mean sometimes you need it. And then but that was like some people take it the wrong way, and I kind of took it like, Damn, maybe I am a fat fuck yeah, because I would sit down on the toilet and my stomach be like popping over. Could you see your bb No, it was that bad. Damn you were a roller, yeah, And like it got to the point where like it was hard for me to breathe. Like I would like just be like, what was your heaviest ever, Like two eighty five yeah, in your in your foot tall? Yeah, so I should imagine that. But yeah, getting into Carlo, that's pretty thick. That's pretty thick. It's a bowling bowl, bro, Yeah, what were you when you played football? I was riking around two seventy two sixty five because you know, pretty thick, you know, moving around. But then after high school, you know that's like yeah, you know you go to work. Yeah, just like did you ever get the guy? I was closed like two eighty five to ninety right there need some chicken nuggets, A rock star and playing Call of Duty, dude.
38:45 You know the Hall of Panio kettlet kettle bag chips, the big one there was just like the regular pack and the big one. I would kill the big pack like by myself for lunch. Yeah, not even a meal. Yeah, just slam it, just to slam it. I could do it. I could do it too, could do it was the thing he was. I was doing it every day though. Every day. Every day, me and my homie, Me and my Mexican homie would be like he had a cars, so we would just drive to the seven eleven down the street and we just go pick that up and I eat it for lunch. Eat it like donut. Eat that like, dude, I was like living the fat guy life. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I've been there. But then like around like what last year ish to like uh like twenty twenty twenty twenty twenty two December or something like that. Is like when I actually like started pilelifting for real and I was like, man, I'm actually really doing and I looked into the Third Street. I didn't even know Third Street was owned by Mike at the time. I didn't. I didn't know until like I came here and but you heard a Third Tree or you googled or what I just I saw untamed and I saw a Third Street. I went untamed first. Yeah, I checked a good dude. Allen's a good dude.
39:46 But the the vibe there was just not for me. Not enough Asians for you, Yeah, not enough Asians, like a bunch of like old like strike eyes. It's just like strong. It's like like I was just like model lifting wraps. Yeah, it's just like a lot of test off from there. So he came here for the estrogen with THEE. I met Jenna Letter here, so no shots fired, bro, That's okay. But when I when I came straight, I actually signed up here last February. And that's like, actually, when I started actually powerlifting forarroals, had you been to a meet or nothing or watched it? You watched a little YouTube or I watched a little YouTube here and there. I watched like bart and the compete, and then I watched some of your videos when you like pulled like seven o five like stuff like that, but nothing like ever, but you only found those from JK. Yeah, from JK. That's funny.
40:35 Yeah. And then because you're even kind of young for JK, I feel like like people obviously still watch it, but the generation is more probably like Sabbas. No, I was maybe a little old. Bus is about the same age. Now he's like four or five years older, right, No, you're about to be twenty four. Yeah, I'm about to turn twenty two. All right, it's about to be like yeah, I feel like yeah, I feel like mid late twenties is kind of the JK hit. Yeah, like hard yeah, just because I came here because I was at Midtown. I was a midtown kid, and I was like, oh they opened the gym again. I was like, oh shit, like goes it double WHEMMI you were I forget this. You were of a little baby were in midtown. I was a midtown kid. Me and my brother are midtown kids. Well baseball, Yeah, so you work with Mela or yeah, work with Melo. Okay, little baseball kids all called the baseball rats in the bag? What years was that? Twenty fourteen and then I stopped in like twenty sixteen, and then my brother was like twenty seventeen. Yeah, we left her in fourteen whenever it shut down for like that random time under eighteen nineteen maybe or it was like probably probably around the time I was done, like twenty sixteen, and then whenever he went on a break. So there's sheet has always been a gym though before two thousand and eight. Two thousand and eight, yeah, yeah, it was like more of a CrossFit style gym. Okay, yeah, classes got group classes, group training, CrossFit all we lived in. Yeah, that far side where our bodybuilding is was super training, So that's where I met gym. It was just powerlifting on that side. They just rented that side, so we would train over there and you'd share the facility with everyone else, but that side was very
42:06 powerlifting, so we just literally trained on that side where the desk is, like where the desk is was like, uh, yeah, yeah, there's benches over. Yeah. It was a different world. But yeah, it's been a gym for a very long time. What about you, Jim, how do you get into powerlifting? I've told the story around her before, but uh, part of it was I was on uh the teenage forums back in the early two thousands. So website that was hardcore for lifting back in the day stands for Testosterone Nation. Oh yeah, and it's where like legitimate strength coaches were chatting and bodybuilders and stuff. It was like the underground version you know, bodybuilding dot com. No, you never heard of bottom dot com. That's crazy. I don't keep up. No, it's cool, but because BODYBELI the comp is fine now. But bodybuild dot com was like the commercial version of this. It was where everyone would go and you find articles on nutrition, articles on vitamins and shit, and a lot of the info was kind of eh. But the forums. All these website had forums where people like the real cats which hang out. Yeah yeah, basically yeah, it was like their own version of Reddit. Yeah, it like individually owned by the companies. Yeah, and like well, I mean bodymail dot com is where Lane Norton and Alan Er a lot of people. I'm at matt Ogus. I met a lot of people there too. I read it.
43:23 I was too young, and my parents weren't very tech savvy, so like, uh there. They weren't like anti Internet, but they were like, uh, weary of it, so they always like told me, like, don't be putting info out there. So I didn't make accounts anywhere, but I read everything. So I read Teenation a bunch and I read bodybel and not Come a bunch. But I wasn't involved. But that's where Yeah, that's the only way to find like minded folks. Back in the day, YouTube wasn't a thing, Like nothing was going on. Yeah, yeah, I I I ended up going to the Armor of the group of people from the forum. Actually, like we split off into a totally different website too. There's a difference like subset of people who had been on teenage and I'm still in contact with some of those people twenty plus years later, which is kind of cool still. And somebody from from there invited me to the APF, which used to be a big thing and still exists. But the state meet here in Sacramento, and I went one day and I just was like, wow, this like amazing how supportive people were to each other, even when they were competing with each other. Yeah, and just thinking of the intensity that people developed for it and not being crazy about it, but like just you know, just the concentration and you could see people's eyes and stuff like that. That's and I always was interested in photography and video and film and stuff, and well, you know, I could just put it through a camera on this and it would be interesting. So this is like two thousand and five, twosand and four, two thousand and five year you
44:54 were born probably a little buddy. No, I was born two thousand and two, but I was like three years yeah, and then yeah, and then from there I started going to a gym and conquered for a couple of days a week for power Gym, and then after about a year and a half ST started up. It's like one of the first members of ST. It's pretty dopey. It's where the only ST that exists now is in the UK. Yeah, a little branch off, Yeah that still exists. It's it on the ground. The other day I was like, what the UK one the hell? Yeah? Yeah, it's out outside London. Yeah, I don't know about you guys. But when like you said, like people cheering on other lifters. In my head when I'm competing, I'm like, man, I hope that foods lift. Oh yeah, like I wish like powerlifted. We could talk smack like you know when we're competing, Like I love like I'm just a big like entertainment, Like I like to entertain and like I like to talk trash. I love talking ship. It's like, then talk ship. No, but like I can't. I'm gonna get disqualified.
46:09 I think you can to the right people. It depends on how you do it. Yeah, and I think to the right people. Okay, you ain't talking to the ref No, I'm just saying. I'm just saying that the Hey, buddy, the refs like the refs like they're they're like when before you even bought to go lift, right, They're like, hey, if you even talk smack or like, if you like something, you're not supposed to press on the platform and stuff. There's rule about it. What do you think I do in the backroom? You think I'm quiet, I'm whispering ship. One of the one of the one of the people that I was competing with was like coming up to me giving me fistball. I'm like Brian Trump, but you push it down, get on my way. I think the different Morgan. What do you think Morgan doing? Morgan out here, look at somebody trying to give them said power of things. Interesting because I don't feel that way at all. And I was very competitive growing up because like there's nothing you can do. Yeah, like you're gonna lift the weight. You're not gonna lift the weight. I'm like praying on the downfall. I understand we were doing like some ancient rituals, praying for mys them you gotta he's putting he's putting lubricant on the boot at all. So they dropped their deadlifts. You know, I understand what you're saying. But what I'm saying is that you can't change it. And that's the one reason, like I actually don't love powerlifting is because like I like that too.
47:28 I like the game and ship of like being able to affect your performance, and like other sports, you can't. Like football, on the line, you're meeting them every single time. Basketball, the same guy who's guarding you. You gotta guard and so you could talk shit or like maneuver around him because like on the football field, I was socking people like like I was socking people, you know, like you played dirty. You know I don't play dirty, but yes, some people do. We found one. I do honesty, but I do like some of that game and ship but the good But there's a beauty and power lifting to where with the same thing, there's nothing you can do to really affect them. There's a beauty and that. If I'm not competing, then I'm hyping them up. But if I'm competing, I'm hoping you lose the different because you shoot little comments at people you can get don't maybe at like a local meat, but then at the end of the day, you're going to bed saying, man, I just talked to ship to a twenty two year old at a local meat. But I'm twenty two. It's I'm gonna talk. I'm gonna be waning. He says, That's why I love Russ Bro But he doesn't. He does, and he doesn't he does. I'm know Russ for ten years to a meet and Russ just focused on his own ship because Russ knows how to meat.
48:37 I can't change what you're doing. Yeah, I'm gonna change what they do I'm gonna lift with. But you could easily argue like that energy focused inward would allow you to make that six hundred pound poll instead of you're so fucking focused mental energy on someone else missingm Like imagine if you hone that into your own ship, what would have happened? Maybe I would have gotten it, that's what maybe maybe not, maybe not, but that is at least something you can affect one thing how you lift. You actually can't affect them, right because their ship's locked in too. Like talking shit in basketball is like there's so much more there is mental to lifting, for sure, but like it's so if you ever played any real sport, like you going to bat is much more mental focus and execution than a deadlift. Yeah, so then like you're not really gonna get in someone's head. The execution is easy.
49:25 The sport's easy. Really, I bet you I could guess them in someone's head, they's more for him maybe, But the thing is too is like, yeah, it puts me in the zone like oh yeah, you know that I could get it. It's good, you know, Like and he's talking smack to me, like, oh yeah, Jerry, you're not gonna get you know what I feel, right, you're baiting. I feel like you're baiting. You're praying someone comes to you to fire you up. You need external factors. He also like feeds off of himself if he just starts talking ship to the wall. Yeah in there, Yeah, j is like the talk ship. I'm just like the ship talker. That sounds like a big waste of energy. And you know me, I talk a lot of shit. But but it's funny though, thanks man. I think that that trying to game, you know, game out your opponent. That's so much about a tenth attempt selection in in meats and having somebody you know, actually working your numbers and looking at like where they are where you are, and sometimes if you put in an attempt, it makes them change their attempt and then you change your attempt back. Or I'm gonna put in I'm gonna go put in my openers as hell of big in that pore go up, I'm gonna change them and that and that. From that perspective, it's a little bit like baseball, like like you know, which, at least the way baseball used to before the rules changed, Like which pitcher you're going to bring in, which which pinch hitter. You're gonna bring in whatever left handed, right handed, whatever their whatever their skills are. That's you know a little bit of that. And I think you can do it from a psychological standpoint, but you got to be real sophisticated about it, and like the best I ever saw. And he always always always says he never did it,
50:58 but but Ed Cohane, you got you know who Ed Cone is? Yeah, do you know? Okay? Okay, good, thank god. I saw it do it in his last meet and he would swear to God that he never does it, but he totally did it. He like he he he talked them into changing the instead of using a combo rap combo rack, using squat stands, which is a very old school way that that used to you know, do squats and meats. And his primary competition was not comfortable with it, and he knew it, and he asked for that change because he was more comfortable with it he knew the other guy wasn't. And then he says, like I just got in his head. I was like, yeah, man, it's all harder with a squaestion, you know, just that kind of whole thing. You know that you got to be sophisticated about it. You can't like be in their face. And I'm not gonna be in their face. I'm gonna be like two feet away. Just stop.
52:00 This is this is right. This is America where personal justance is arms length, you know, or more. I'm paying it. He just learned what it is. You're messed up. They're they're squatting. I'm over here with everybody. Don't just all right? I got one more question. Then we got the fun out. Here's the question, and this is this is this is relevant to competitions relative to life too. It's like, in what way are you your own worst enemy? I overshoot all the time. I like, I think one thing wrong with me that like it's so bad. It's like I want to show out so bad, like my showmanship. I want to show out so bad. And I want to post up stuff on Instagram to make my competition feel bad about themselves. Like yeah, so you're so external, man, we gotta we gotta look in the mirror. Sotis.
53:09 I don't know. I just I just love ship talking. I do too, but but you just gotta like zoom out, like what's gonna help you? Actually, you're so focused on them. That's true that one thing one thing wrong with me is like I've been looking at these top level and I'm like, man, they ship That's fine, And then like, yeah, then you gotta like that, but then you gotta do like the right things to get that to prove that you can't do that, then try to max out every day to get one girl to d M you then you won't ever get strong enough to get there. Yeah. I feel like that's my major hits though, Like if I had to be honest, my major like crutch is like just like focus, Like I'm focused on myself, but I'm also focused on like, man, I gotta hit these lifts in order to like hit these on meatday, but I need to save more in the gas tank.
54:01 That's what I'm trying to say, save more in the gas tank so I can actually do it on meat day instead of just doing it because gym lifts don't count inside the gym. Like inside the gym it does count, but like it's what you do on the platform that really does count and really pushes you forward. Are you also like that in life? M Jim blast for something that collaborates in both Oh, collaborates in both something that crosses over. I'm kind of like that in life too, so like ain't no pace, Yeah, no perspective. Yeah, I'm all gas. It's like I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna do I'm gonna do it. Just that type of thing. Sometimes it's good. Yeah, Like I don't I never take a break in like try to assess the situation. I'm always just like first headfirst into everything. That's not bad. You just need a thinker behind you.
54:43 Then if you're a doer, yeah, you can't full send all the time and you expect to get the best results all day. You gotta figure it out. Sometimes I don't know what mine is? You got anything? See a bass? Mine's nothing's ever good enough. That's not bad always either, I don't think it's bad, but like sometimes people to like, oh, pay yourself in the bag, and I'm like why, yeah, yeah, I ain't there yet. There's always something better, Yeah, I think most people that that can also cause like a burnout eventually or like yeah, depressed because you never thought you want in your life and then like you know, just sitting in the room, oh fucking lonely, Like yeah, but the opposite experience that he's definitely experienced. Yeah, but what's that? Yeah, what's the alternative? Like just to be stoked on everything? Ex actually high five in yourself because you wipe your ass, you know that's yeah, well he did a really good job. Yeah. I don't think a lot of high achievers. Ever, you did a good job, Like there, don't patch yourself back. You could have done a better Yeah. I think balance and stuff is fine like that, and like smelling the roses and all that, but chances are pretty low that you'll do something very exceptional that way, and and and and there's no wrong or right to either of it.
55:50 Because I prefer to be the other way too. I would love to smell the roses and be pretty happy with just like a very normal life. But some people just aren't. I say that too, But then I think about all the people smell of roses and they are basious like, I'm like, you soft, mine, you're always hard Mike like like that's how he's getting. The first thing I saw him today is his friend talking about my hardness because we took a picture with Mike and my homie play his armor on Mike, and he's like damn bro. Mike is hell hard bro. Mike is like a rock. Mike is like a blue choo. Oh my god, I's got a nickname, Morning Broke little Guy. Not silent anymore, just blue choo little Guy. What kind of inspired this question is? I saw a post from Story from our friend Jordan Saiat saying, I'm always thinking that I should be doing this, I should be doing this, I should Like any moment that you're of downtime, you could think of things that you should be doing. Sure, and then if you're not doing those things. I'm not doing all those things, you feel guilty about it. And then the more guilty you feel about it, the less likely you are to actually ever do any of it, because you just get into that that shitty state, you know that that you see stuck. Yeah, And I responded to him,
57:22 said same, and he said, you know we're gonna make it. It will be okay, And it's like, yeah, yeah, of course, you know, Like I'm a function of human being, but I there isn't a minute of any day that I am thinking. I don't have anything that I could be doing right now that's more productive than what I'm doing here. Just sitting here sure, cooling it, and I some more somewhere along the line had to decide that, like you know, dilatory time where you're not doing anything at all, is good for your brain. It makes you make It makes it possible to do the other stuff. But it's very hard to let go of the feeling like I need to be doing this, I need to be doing that. It's a little bit like Matt's. Yeah, I think if you're like a creator high achiever, there's got to be consuming time. And people talk a lot about it on the opposite, like people that want to be creators, whether it be business, content, music, or doesn't really matter. They're all creators, and people talk about the opposite because people have trouble finding it is like doing, and so they sit like, well, how much of that balance are you consuming versus creating? And the people that can't get moving? Obviously you're consuming a lot more, right, four hours of Netflix, two hours in Instagram, three hours of TikTok, and then they made maybe one video a week themselves. And if you're a true creator, yeah, you have to flip that. But you do need time to consume because inspo does come from other stuff. You have to get something else for Jerry. One hour of porn swarming? Yeah yeah, how many jerk offs versus how many dead lists is he doing? Dud's empty in the fuck We're trying to have a serious conversation, you were, madge.
58:50 Come on, guys, I don't know what mine is because I probably just have so fucking many. To be honest, I'm always in my own way for sure, similar to you, guys. I always think about what to do or how to do it better, not like enjoying victories or yeah. Never I mean that's I think that's a thing about the both of us. Never too high, ever too low. As are seldom too low. But you know, I get low pretty good. Getting high it is a little hard. I think one thing I see about you, Mike Bro, you don't really like like how you know, when we talk about like you getting back into like powerlifting or like something like that, You're just like, ah, it feels like you really don't kind of like believe in yourself, but like we all believe in you that you could do it. Though some of it, some of it powerlifting in particular, is because I never like loved it, like y'all. Yeah, that's part of it. Like even yes, short to God. Uh, there's like times at the meet I would get like teary, I just because I'm stoked on, Like how stoked you guys are. But I've never felt that even one percent lifting myself well because it is not even one percent, but like seeing like you and r J and Leta and all the boys like not only have so much fun, but like have fun with each other, joking around and hugging and stuff like.
1:00:01 Uh, that one gets me. The fact that you can support each other even if if you don't want them to win. No, so it's just the people in my wing class. I don't want them to win, but you know it's other people, especially the gurus. You know, I've cheering him on. It was a little extra louder during that first session. Yeah, or like Big Jerry's post and he talked about like helping and being stoked on helping Like that gets me going a lot more than swear to God. Like pulling seven O five. I wasn't that stoked because I wasn't competating for you. Yeah, I just don't care. Yeah, it just never felt that way, especially because basketball I had such high highs and low lows playing basketball is just so different from me. I'm just kind of burnt all that shit. I do have trouble believing in myself sometimes, and we talked about it in a different podcast a little bit. But the paraly lifting means just got a weird relationship. Hey, twenty twenty five, Roade the world Silent mic twenty twenty. I'm not old enough yet. Well I thought he was like fifty already. No, it would be twenty what two wayirars of twenty It will be twenty twenty nine, twenty twenty nine. Maybe he get chased down some masters. I'll be in I'll be an IPF world Watch yourself, Watch yourself. Yeah's coming for you in twenty thirty. Yeah, that maybe we could. I don't know even know who know who's there. There was a dude, there was a dude. It's gonna be the all age them out. But Dave Rix was the ninety kilo IPF champ and Dave Rix so your weight class. Dave Rix is an absolute monster and he was winning worlds IPF Open when he was like forty eight. Damn wait, so wait,
1:01:32 how strong is he then? Yeah? What's he doing? What's he pulling with he at the time, he was squad in high sixes like six sixty uh Benching four ish full and seven ish. This was years ago. You got that though. Yeah. He was doing it in Monarchs Bro Nike Monarchs. He was famous for it. I'm gonna go do it to my crocs. Yeah, but on my head to head would be Lane Norton, probably because Lane's maybe four or five years older Lane Norton by a Lane. Yeah, oh Lane is Donelane's pretty cool now, Lane super cool. Lane's super cool. Yeah, he's an old friend of ours. But Lane's strong a ship. Lane will be a six sixty three ninety seven to fifty guy. He's forty it probably forty forty forty one, yeah, early forty.
1:02:12 Oh, Mike, I think you got him though I don't know. I believe, I don't know my body's got it. See, this is what you're talking I'm talking about. You don't believe in yourself right here, This is what I'm talking about. Right If you've been banged up enough, you start to question whether your body's gonna old thing too. No, no, no shots at Lane or anybody. But like, uh, I have fifteen years on top of my fifteen of powerlifting where other people don't a lot of times where they just started lifting. Yeah, I think lane played like baseball and no shots, a little buddy getting but your body's just not going through it the same unless you're pitching. But even that, you can probably get around it. Like I told you, I think too, like I played basketball, probably like you played football. Bro, i'd say its full body. Yeah, we don't take as much, no, bro, Yeah my knees talking about it. Joint in the sections. Yeah yeah, but you're playing fucking left outfield in high school. Ain't feeling you know what I mean?
1:02:59 You jogging? It's a game. You ain't doing ship swinging a bat four times a game? You know a picture a catcher where they repetitively throwing it or something. Yeah, even then a problems and it's only if you're good. It's only if you're good. Should be sitting the bench. Yeah, maybe a catcher, you're probably catcher on a pegging joke, Yeah, got him, just what it was. I was just thinking about it. Strike zone, but you know, yeah take strike zone on that guy. You got anything, Sabas, I would say probably. I think that the voices talk too much in my head sits up right? Yeah, no, no, no, because you know when you start like overthinking, Yeah, I just think too much. Yeah, and then a certain voices in my head, well it's the same, it's the same thing. Yeah, a certain voice gets louder or wins. Yeah, it wins the battles. But I was also gonna mention half of the meat. When I was just sitting on the chair, I think it was you and Kyle had walked in and I was like, what the fuck is going on here? That's what was happening. I was like talking and I wasn't talking. I was like taking in the whole weekend. I was like, that was a great time.
1:04:12 Yeah, it was cool. Yeah, it was good meat. I think definitely seeing everyone else enjoy it made it like way more. Yes, real question is which one was better the first Third Street meet or this meet, this one, this is the I think it's I think they're all different, or or this one compared to the one from last year. Were you there? You weren't there. I wasn't there for that one because or nothing, nothing, No, I didn't parent live at the time. Yeah, I just I don't know if there's better or works for me, I don't think the feeling was different. I think this one I had more of a community feeling than last one. Last one definitely felt like showout, ball out. This one felt like everyone was together and we all had a mission and we all came together. We had a ton of members competing in this, Yeah, much more than last year. And then a lot of the people that came from like out of town people flew. We were all together. Yeah, we had some people from Texas, North Carolina, a lot of a lot of Core was definitely involved in this one. The other one was more showing. Yeah, but I think both of them both we're all Yeah, that positive for the for the lifters, I think a lot of people.
1:05:14 We have some cool messages sent. Yeah, both are good. It's pre sick. Yeah, wrap it up. Well, we'll do a little ten minute one after this with Jerry too. Well, he's here. I got a question.
