Have you noticed that powerlifting is experiencing a bit of a dip in popularity? We have. What might be the cause?

We kick around some possibilities. Is the last wave of lifters starting to age out and move on to other hobbies? Is it turmoil among the federations? How do other hobby sports maintain their popularity?

00:00:09.480 --> 00:00:11.119
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.

2
00:00:13.279 --> 00:00:16.199
Afternoon, isn't it some morning who knows when they're listening.

3
00:00:17.039 --> 00:00:19.399
I'm just talking about our current situation.

4
00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:21.879
We'll go two thirds of the nations in the afternoon.

5
00:00:22.079 --> 00:00:24.079
Yeah, that's fact.

6
00:00:24.760 --> 00:00:29.839
The uh update show you guys never wanted, but you got. Anyways,

7
00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:33.520
here we are. I've been trying to dive into sports.

8
00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:37.840
There's nothing going on. Super Bowl blowout and boring All

9
00:00:37.880 --> 00:00:42.159
Star weekend a fucking joke. What else we got. UFC's

10
00:00:42.679 --> 00:00:45.280
probably holden up sports right now. Sadly every sport in

11
00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:50.439
the goddamn world's dying. There's like, uh, all Star weekends

12
00:00:50.479 --> 00:00:53.320
here in Norcow, No one cares. Nothing happened. Was in

13
00:00:53.359 --> 00:00:57.159
San Francisco? Oh yeah, Barry Bonds was there, Jerry Rice,

14
00:00:57.359 --> 00:01:01.000
they like coached some of the celebrity. No one gave

15
00:01:01.079 --> 00:01:04.359
us shit. I want to care, man, I need something

16
00:01:04.359 --> 00:01:05.959
to care about.

17
00:01:06.439 --> 00:01:06.599
Well.

18
00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:11.319
Spring training is it's actually spring training? Games start this

19
00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:13.760
week here? No Arizona, Arizona.

20
00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:16.719
Yeah, I feel even baseball. Baseball is just in the

21
00:01:16.719 --> 00:01:19.400
same spot. Basketball is like, you can't like, it's going

22
00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:21.480
to be so hard for people to care unless you're

23
00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:24.319
a baseball nut and I'm a basketball nut, but you

24
00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:26.799
just don't can't care. It's too long, it's too long

25
00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:29.719
for everything. And maybe it's our ADHD getting cranked up

26
00:01:29.719 --> 00:01:31.480
by TikTok, but I feel like it's kind of been

27
00:01:31.519 --> 00:01:34.400
that way, you know, like the guys can't play as

28
00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:36.280
hard as they want. Baseball is a little different, obviously

29
00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:38.920
because you have rotations and shit, But like basketball, you

30
00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:40.560
just can't play as hard as you want for eighty

31
00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:43.519
two freaking games for nine months out of the year.

32
00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:46.719
Load management has killed the interest in yeah.

33
00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:49.400
And even even if they didn't like yeah, then injuries

34
00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:53.480
would probably go up. I don't know, so I note

35
00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:56.680
I did see a cool like a heartwarming shit people

36
00:01:56.719 --> 00:01:59.079
say like TikTok or I'm not on TikTok, but Instagram

37
00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:01.359
reels or whatever. There's always like negative. There's like a

38
00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:06.959
bunch of cool shit from the Philadelphia Parade.

39
00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:11.400
See the Kelsey brother flipping the helmet cart.

40
00:02:12.520 --> 00:02:15.120
Oh yeah, flip that fucking thing over which one?

41
00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:16.759
Oh was he Jason?

42
00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:20.400
Was he in the Philly Parade? Yeah? Yeah, I didn't see.

43
00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:23.479
I was only saw like the heartwarming shit where Sekwon Barkley,

44
00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:25.879
who I'm a huge fan of is stomping down the

45
00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:29.039
street and just waving to fans. Like the buses and

46
00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:31.000
stuff are going by, but he's on the road hanging

47
00:02:31.039 --> 00:02:34.319
out high fiving people. He high fives and he does

48
00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:36.560
a double take, and then it turns out was like

49
00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:39.520
one of the ball boys or something in the crowd,

50
00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:42.319
and he straight picks him up and drags him into

51
00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:44.319
the parade with him. It's like you're with us, you know,

52
00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:45.800
like drags him with him. I was like, that was

53
00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:48.400
really dope. And then I saw another one where it

54
00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:51.639
was it was the training staff and they had a

55
00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:54.400
sign or maybe someone else had the sign for the

56
00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:56.159
staff on the bus, but I think it was the

57
00:02:56.159 --> 00:02:59.039
staff holding it. It said twenty one and twenty two

58
00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:04.080
starters who had opening Day started in the league or

59
00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:08.000
in the season played in the Super Bowl, which gott

60
00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:09.439
to be. I don't know if it's a record, but

61
00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:12.400
that's got to be rarest shit in any sport, professional

62
00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:13.719
sport nowadays, in.

63
00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:16.840
Terms of like injuries and right mid season trades and

64
00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:17.240
all that.

65
00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:20.360
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, not yeah, let alone trades and shit, yeah,

66
00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:22.719
the loyalty. I didn't even think of that, but injuries

67
00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:25.479
plus trades, I guess the NFL's trades, I feel like

68
00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:29.360
are a little uh less common or less active during season.

69
00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:32.599
During the season where baseball and basketball people be throwing

70
00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:35.039
people left and right, they don't give a shit. Yeah,

71
00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:37.479
I thought those two were cool, and that's my sports highlights.

72
00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:40.199
I saw them where there's a dude in the crowd

73
00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:42.960
with the wheelchair and the crowd just picks him up.

74
00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:45.479
And surf.

75
00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:47.759
He's like crowdsurfer and he's like, ah, yeah.

76
00:03:47.639 --> 00:03:50.039
It's fire. There's obviously a bunch of negative ones too,

77
00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:52.159
because I saw all the trash afterwards and how they

78
00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:53.759
fucked up the city when they won the Super Bowl.

79
00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:56.520
And I still don't understand that. And I know everyone

80
00:03:56.560 --> 00:04:00.599
says that, but it happens like every major city. They'll

81
00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:03.120
win them championship and then people are fucking tipping over

82
00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:03.879
the skin.

83
00:04:04.759 --> 00:04:06.039
It's not that they're sober.

84
00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:08.599
Yeah, but I've just never been I mean, I have

85
00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:11.680
been that drunk, but I've never drank so much and

86
00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:13.520
then just like tipped over like a street light.

87
00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:17.759
I've decided to destroy everything around me. Yeah, I'm so drunk.

88
00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:20.920
Yeah, I don't think I've actually ever broken anything being drunk.

89
00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:23.199
And I've been really drunk. You know, we've all had

90
00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:26.639
our years. I've been you know, on the edge of

91
00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:30.639
the major danger, and I've never just destroyed everything around me. Yeah.

92
00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:33.199
Just I don't get it. I don't get it at all,

93
00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:37.120
and so poor Philly. But Congress on the Super Bowl.

94
00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:38.920
Yeah it was. It was a boring game.

95
00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:41.399
Yeah, I just watched it for some commercials.

96
00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:44.879
And how on earth did Kansas City.

97
00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:48.160
Collapse so hard? Yeah, I don't know like that, Yeah,

98
00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:48.480
I don't know.

99
00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:51.519
After being dominant for you know, the.

100
00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:53.639
Eagles did get better. Yeah, the Eagles did get better.

101
00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:55.839
You know, they're they're the offensive line and defensive line

102
00:04:55.839 --> 00:04:58.279
are stacked. Not only did they throw up some of

103
00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:00.240
the stats at the size of those guys, but they

104
00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:01.879
are some of the best in the league. The stats

105
00:05:01.920 --> 00:05:04.439
were insane too. Don't quote me on it, but it

106
00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:08.959
said like the starting o line averaged like six five

107
00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:12.000
and like three twenty And then they said, I don't

108
00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:14.720
know if it was the first super Bowl or you know,

109
00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:16.600
some super Bowl in like the fifties, it might have

110
00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:18.600
been the first super Bowl. The average line was like

111
00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:22.560
six foot two forty and you're like, no way, humans

112
00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:25.199
have Like, well, we've definitely gone fatter, but we haven't evolved,

113
00:05:25.279 --> 00:05:27.959
like there's not I mean, maybe maybe I'm way off,

114
00:05:27.959 --> 00:05:30.079
but I don't think there's more six ' five people

115
00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:32.040
now than there were in nineteen fifty.

116
00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:34.800
Oh, they're sure, they probably are, just you know, the

117
00:05:34.839 --> 00:05:37.680
epigenetic part of it. It's not really evolution. It's it's

118
00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:41.959
single generation like maternal nutrition stuff.

119
00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:45.040
I would think I would go bashwards though, because like

120
00:05:45.079 --> 00:05:47.360
our nutrition is trash.

121
00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:50.480
No, just in terms of like you know, calorie surplus

122
00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:52.759
versus true deficit.

123
00:05:52.439 --> 00:05:56.879
True, true, true, Yeah, I wonder, and there might be

124
00:05:57.000 --> 00:06:00.639
more in terms of actual people, just because our population's

125
00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:03.519
gone up right like nineteen sixty, I think our world

126
00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:06.600
population was like six five point six billion an hour,

127
00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:09.480
like almost nine billion, So I guess in that essence

128
00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:14.319
it is true. But still that's so drastic six foot

129
00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:17.439
and that's only that's less than one hundred years, you know,

130
00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:21.439
That's how I guess the point. Yeah, per per capita,

131
00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:25.560
I guess, is what I'm saying. But they probably don't

132
00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:34.959
even have those stats.

133
00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:36.439
Spare with me, everyone.

134
00:06:40.759 --> 00:06:42.879
Soon, within a year, we're gonna have an AI co

135
00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:46.120
host and they'll just hear what I say, and they'll

136
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:48.399
just fucking I mean, we got to ripping like series

137
00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:50.399
right there. Yeah, they'll just.

138
00:06:50.360 --> 00:06:56.040
Fact check the Yes, average human heights increased over the

139
00:06:56.040 --> 00:06:56.600
past century.

140
00:06:56.600 --> 00:06:58.920
The number of people over six foot is also increased.

141
00:06:59.079 --> 00:07:00.600
I don't know about six '.

142
00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:03.160
Five, yeah capita, but yeah, for sure, if it's over

143
00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:05.839
six foot, then everything's leveraged up a little bit. But

144
00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:08.800
that many's crazy. And to be that skilled, you know,

145
00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:09.720
like that athletic.

146
00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:14.959
Yeah, how many people in the world over six seven?

147
00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:16.040
That's a question.

148
00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:21.199
Lessen fucking for sure.

149
00:07:21.439 --> 00:07:23.879
This is a reddit perss that has no no, no

150
00:07:25.319 --> 00:07:26.319
listing to it at all.

151
00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:28.560
There's no no nos.

152
00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:32.600
Six seven is tall man like you you. I'm obviously

153
00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:34.480
not very social and go out a lot, But if

154
00:07:34.519 --> 00:07:36.399
you go out a lot, I bet you see two

155
00:07:36.519 --> 00:07:37.680
six seven people a year.

156
00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:42.399
One of our members, actually a couple of our members

157
00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:44.759
are quite tall, and one of them is taller than Kyle.

158
00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:46.560
So he's got to be six six six.

159
00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:49.079
Seven, Yeah, probably six seven, because Kyle's like six five ish.

160
00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:52.199
Dan's about six five sixty six And that's fucking obviously

161
00:07:52.240 --> 00:07:57.079
insanely rare. But also we hang out with athletes all right,

162
00:07:57.160 --> 00:07:59.279
like I do, and we met them through lifting, you know,

163
00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:01.600
so like that changes the ratio. But if you're out

164
00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:04.800
in public, like a normal ass life, you're seeing one

165
00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:08.120
six seven percent a year, probably like they're just not around,

166
00:08:08.399 --> 00:08:13.360
They're not around. Six seven is fucking tall, really fucking tall.

167
00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:16.439
I was talking to a to Shift Sports World, talking

168
00:08:16.439 --> 00:08:20.439
to our boy Justin shout out Justin Borrow X, Barbara Gade,

169
00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:24.560
photographer Smart Cat, and we're just chatting randomly, but they

170
00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:27.480
asked about like powerlifting and meats and shit, and I

171
00:08:27.519 --> 00:08:28.680
kind of brought up. I was like to you, I

172
00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:31.720
don't know if I'm I don't think I'm that out

173
00:08:31.800 --> 00:08:34.039
of touch because sometimes my interests, you know, I really

174
00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:35.639
dive in. I don't know if it's like I have

175
00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:40.480
like a like long ADHD, you know, so I'll go

176
00:08:40.559 --> 00:08:42.879
like months and dive into like one thing, you know,

177
00:08:42.919 --> 00:08:45.360
and so like I'll zone out, Like I don't think,

178
00:08:45.399 --> 00:08:47.960
what's that the hyper fixation? Yeah, But like normally when

179
00:08:47.960 --> 00:08:49.639
they talk about it, they mean within like the hour,

180
00:08:49.759 --> 00:08:51.919
you know, but like mine's also within the hour, but

181
00:08:51.960 --> 00:08:54.360
mine we're like within months, you know, trends or whatever.

182
00:08:55.279 --> 00:08:58.399
But still everything that I enjoy is always I'm always

183
00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:00.879
uh in it, you know, I'm still always in basketball,

184
00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:04.240
I'm still always in fashion, I'm always in powerlifting, but

185
00:09:04.279 --> 00:09:07.200
it just feels like the sport. And I told him,

186
00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:08.559
I was like, I just feel like it's in a

187
00:09:08.559 --> 00:09:11.600
weird place, like, uh, not necessarily probably by the numbers,

188
00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:14.039
popularities down, but I just feel like the momentum of

189
00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:16.879
the sport has gotten really stagnant. And I just kind

190
00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:18.960
of made that up verse on my feel, you know,

191
00:09:19.000 --> 00:09:21.639
that was one percent feel. And then I wake up

192
00:09:21.639 --> 00:09:23.279
today and that was over the weekend, and then I

193
00:09:23.320 --> 00:09:25.799
wake up today and Joe Sullivan's doing like a kind

194
00:09:25.799 --> 00:09:28.759
of a Q and a start thing saying is powerlifting

195
00:09:28.799 --> 00:09:31.519
like dying? And I was like, oh, like he feels

196
00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:35.600
it too, Yeah, and a lot of it. Joe's very

197
00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:37.960
smart guy, one of the few that's still in the

198
00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:40.320
sport that's been as in it as long as me

199
00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:43.679
and similar age. You might be a little bit younger

200
00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:47.039
than me actually, but obviously very accomplished lifter and coach

201
00:09:47.120 --> 00:09:51.320
himself and has his his his feet deep into the sport.

202
00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:54.159
And a lot of people were making up random stuff,

203
00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:57.080
you know, because again not to be elitist here, but

204
00:09:57.120 --> 00:09:58.919
some people are just new to the sports, so they'll

205
00:09:59.039 --> 00:10:01.639
they'll he based said, why do you think this is happening?

206
00:10:01.639 --> 00:10:05.080
And then he was sharing their answers, and people just say, shit,

207
00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:06.279
I feel like, you know, because they want to be

208
00:10:06.320 --> 00:10:08.200
part of the convo, which is great, welcome to the convo,

209
00:10:08.320 --> 00:10:10.919
but they're just saying, like, too many federations and all this.

210
00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:13.559
I'm like, well, no, that's always been the christ right,

211
00:10:13.639 --> 00:10:16.000
Like there's certain things that we just know probably aren't

212
00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:18.639
the issue. And it actually in the scheme of things,

213
00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:21.919
we probably have less federations now than ever, just in

214
00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:25.399
terms of what's actually people are actually competing in, because like, yeah,

215
00:10:25.039 --> 00:10:28.759
that is around, but in twenty twelve, a lot of

216
00:10:28.759 --> 00:10:32.039
people that we knew world record holders were hopping in

217
00:10:32.120 --> 00:10:35.559
random APA means or IPA or whatever. Now you don't

218
00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:38.960
hear that. It's like usapl power offt America. And then

219
00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:44.759
what's the new fuck not ut something whatever. Now there's

220
00:10:44.799 --> 00:10:47.320
one random one I could go on, Joe's whatever that's

221
00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:48.799
kind of taken over the role.

222
00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:53.759
Of the WRC or theF Yeah.

223
00:10:53.519 --> 00:10:56.440
That's kind of taking that over, but regardless, so that's

224
00:10:56.480 --> 00:11:00.279
not it. And Joe kind of broke it down in

225
00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:02.639
all of them, and he thinks it's an entitlement and

226
00:11:02.679 --> 00:11:04.639
maybe he's just turning into an old guy like me,

227
00:11:06.279 --> 00:11:08.360
but I think he might be right in some senses.

228
00:11:08.399 --> 00:11:10.879
And his main argument was kind of or you know,

229
00:11:10.879 --> 00:11:12.559
I don't obviously want to speak for him, but I'm

230
00:11:12.600 --> 00:11:14.919
reading his stories and what it seemed that he really

231
00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:17.919
believed in was that people like don't want to travel

232
00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:20.440
and compete head to head or travel and go to

233
00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:22.360
big meets. They didn't want to kind of be catered

234
00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:24.679
to with the best meat in the world right in

235
00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:27.039
front of them. And he's probably speaking more from the

236
00:11:27.080 --> 00:11:31.600
untested side because you know, we'll see this year's I

237
00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:34.080
think the big change for the USAPL right is going

238
00:11:34.159 --> 00:11:37.840
to be small this year, next year, NAT's it's this year, Yeah,

239
00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:41.720
where the Qualls just went through the roof. Yeah, because

240
00:11:41.720 --> 00:11:44.080
that was like an event, like a community event in

241
00:11:44.120 --> 00:11:47.279
a sense, which made USAPL and that's cool, right, like, yeah,

242
00:11:47.320 --> 00:11:50.120
we've crowned the champion, but it was more cool that

243
00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:53.399
everyone just got together because a lot of people competed.

244
00:11:53.440 --> 00:11:56.960
And I probably arguing myself and that because I probably

245
00:11:56.960 --> 00:11:59.000
talked shit on it having too many people in the past,

246
00:11:59.240 --> 00:12:00.559
but the cool you know, you got to see the

247
00:12:00.600 --> 00:12:02.679
positive with the negative. The negative is, yeah, it's not

248
00:12:02.720 --> 00:12:05.440
as competitive, so you have one hundred people qualifying per

249
00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:07.639
weight class. But the cool part is it really brought

250
00:12:07.679 --> 00:12:10.240
the community together because people cared and it was their

251
00:12:10.279 --> 00:12:13.000
excuse to go hang out and go This year, I

252
00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:16.000
believe both are in Atlanta, which is weird. I think

253
00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:20.840
US APL gnats and PA gnats are in Atlanta, which

254
00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:24.759
is kind of random. And Power Left America nats have

255
00:12:24.960 --> 00:12:27.720
obviously been smaller because it's a new fad and people

256
00:12:27.799 --> 00:12:32.240
really only go to Quall for IPF, but it tied them.

257
00:12:32.279 --> 00:12:34.440
It might play a big part of it. Some people

258
00:12:34.600 --> 00:12:36.399
made a lot of jokes about egg prices and that's

259
00:12:36.440 --> 00:12:38.519
why they can't afford to go to go to meats

260
00:12:38.519 --> 00:12:40.679
because their eggs are too expensive to get all their

261
00:12:40.679 --> 00:12:43.039
protein in, which may play a role, like the economy

262
00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:45.200
does play a role obviously, when you're talking about like

263
00:12:45.240 --> 00:12:50.240
a luxury sport, right it's something that doesn't pay the bills,

264
00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:52.279
and if you're talking about competing at a high level

265
00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:55.240
or having families, and I wondered if it's maybe like

266
00:12:55.240 --> 00:12:58.399
an aging out thing. Some of it has to be right,

267
00:12:58.480 --> 00:13:03.799
especially in the untested as natty powerlifting or whatever got

268
00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:07.759
more popular because back in the day Untested had eighteen

269
00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:10.039
year olds in there, you know, whether they're a natty

270
00:13:10.120 --> 00:13:14.320
like me, just competing there or just hopped on you know,

271
00:13:14.320 --> 00:13:16.840
in fucking high school. They were competing there. But that

272
00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:19.919
was much more common, I felt like than now. Although

273
00:13:19.960 --> 00:13:22.519
I don't think steroids have gotten less common, they've probably

274
00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:28.360
gotten more common. Powerlifting America and USAPL made it cool

275
00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:32.159
to stay natty in a sense, So I don't know, Yeah,

276
00:13:32.159 --> 00:13:32.559
I don't know.

277
00:13:33.080 --> 00:13:37.879
I think that the USAPL is still being as big

278
00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:43.279
as it is, but not a path to international competition,

279
00:13:43.960 --> 00:13:47.360
like serious international competition at this point. I think that

280
00:13:47.360 --> 00:13:53.200
that's taken the shine off to a probably a huge

281
00:13:53.240 --> 00:14:01.000
extent like that, you know, decisions get made without respect

282
00:14:01.080 --> 00:14:05.759
to what impact it'll have on the life cycle of

283
00:14:05.799 --> 00:14:09.639
the sport itself. You know this, and the dispute was

284
00:14:09.679 --> 00:14:15.679
stupid and it's still stupid. And if I think if

285
00:14:15.679 --> 00:14:18.480
the USAPL was still IPF affiliated, I think that we

286
00:14:18.519 --> 00:14:22.440
would probably see an attention drop still, but not the

287
00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:23.000
extent that.

288
00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:23.600
We have now.

289
00:14:23.799 --> 00:14:26.879
Yeah, my probably main argument, it's a little bit like

290
00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:29.279
Joe's too, would probably be that that it's just hard

291
00:14:29.519 --> 00:14:32.159
it's hard and it's boring, and so like everyone thought

292
00:14:32.159 --> 00:14:34.159
it was really cool. They hopped in when they're twenty two,

293
00:14:34.279 --> 00:14:38.039
and then they stopped. You know, now everyone's fucking running

294
00:14:38.039 --> 00:14:40.440
and they're these hybrid athletes, whatever the fuck that means.

295
00:14:40.440 --> 00:14:43.600
So they still like kind of lift or people are

296
00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:46.000
dabbling their toes and bikini and stuff. And we've talked

297
00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:48.799
about this, I think with DNN ourselves, where it is

298
00:14:48.879 --> 00:14:51.600
kind of the chapter of bodybuilding. You know, it's just

299
00:14:51.639 --> 00:14:53.399
more popular on the Internet, so it's going to be

300
00:14:53.399 --> 00:14:56.360
more popular with people around I think, you know, the

301
00:14:56.399 --> 00:15:00.600
barbell is slowly becoming cooler again, but you know, from

302
00:15:00.600 --> 00:15:03.480
twenty twenty to twenty twenty four, the barbell was lame.

303
00:15:03.879 --> 00:15:07.039
You're only using machines, you're only training for esthetics. That's

304
00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:10.279
everyone on Instagram who has a following is like a

305
00:15:10.679 --> 00:15:12.559
posing And I was gonna call them a poser, but

306
00:15:12.960 --> 00:15:15.679
both they're they're a poser in the sense of they

307
00:15:15.720 --> 00:15:19.080
don't actually compete, but they got popular for posing as

308
00:15:19.080 --> 00:15:24.480
a bodybuilder, both literal and metaphorical. Yeah, and that's that's

309
00:15:24.519 --> 00:15:28.080
what the internet is. Is you literally every fitness thing

310
00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:31.480
you scroll through is someone posing whatever body part they

311
00:15:31.559 --> 00:15:33.960
just lifted and then sharing their workout and that's just

312
00:15:34.440 --> 00:15:39.039
a copy pasta all over every social media where very

313
00:15:39.039 --> 00:15:42.000
few of them are actual competitors, and there's no knock

314
00:15:42.039 --> 00:15:44.799
on that, right, like you don't have to compete. And

315
00:15:44.840 --> 00:15:47.759
I understand you want to make a living on the

316
00:15:47.799 --> 00:15:51.279
internet and you're copying what is successful, so I get it.

317
00:15:51.320 --> 00:15:54.080
I hate it, but at least I understand what you're

318
00:15:54.519 --> 00:15:58.080
you're doing there, so I do wonder. You know, in

319
00:15:58.120 --> 00:16:02.960
my eyes, powerlifting wasn't a really cool spot because of

320
00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:07.960
the community energy and to me it for it to succeed, yes,

321
00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:12.120
you need a clear champion type thing. You know, you

322
00:16:12.159 --> 00:16:15.120
need the IPF or you need some world record people

323
00:16:15.159 --> 00:16:18.240
that are extreme pushing it, but the core has to

324
00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:22.720
be more like the five k weekend runners, right where

325
00:16:22.720 --> 00:16:24.399
you're serious, like you're not just gonna wake up and

326
00:16:24.440 --> 00:16:25.919
go run a five k, like you have to kind

327
00:16:25.919 --> 00:16:28.320
of train, but you don't want to go to the Olympics.

328
00:16:28.480 --> 00:16:30.480
You know, your goal was never to go to the Olympics.

329
00:16:31.600 --> 00:16:34.840
And CrossFit obviously had that same kind of social actor

330
00:16:35.039 --> 00:16:37.120
right where Rich Frohning is the star and all that's

331
00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:40.240
really cool, but there's millions of people that get after

332
00:16:40.320 --> 00:16:41.919
it really hard, but they have no goal to go

333
00:16:41.919 --> 00:16:44.200
to the games. They just but they're they're tuned in.

334
00:16:44.559 --> 00:16:46.200
They want to know about the games, and they want

335
00:16:46.200 --> 00:16:48.440
to watch and they want to you know. And I

336
00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:53.360
just don't know what sport has that right now. Maybe bodybuilding,

337
00:16:53.519 --> 00:16:55.600
you know, maybe the the But again, I just don't

338
00:16:55.639 --> 00:16:57.919
know what local shows look like in that sport, and

339
00:16:58.000 --> 00:17:01.480
that might just be the Internet. Like Sam Slick competing

340
00:17:01.519 --> 00:17:05.039
for the first time, he won something, right, I think

341
00:17:05.079 --> 00:17:09.319
he won the amateur in Vegas, and so I think,

342
00:17:09.400 --> 00:17:10.440
you know, I don't want to speak for him and

343
00:17:10.440 --> 00:17:12.960
I don't follow him super close. That I just grazed

344
00:17:12.960 --> 00:17:14.920
that world. But his goal was to qualify for the

345
00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:18.000
Amateur Arnold and so he got into that. He's probably

346
00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:21.000
gonna lean out and head over there in classic bodybuilding,

347
00:17:21.079 --> 00:17:24.160
which again for that sport's great, right. Like in Sam Slick,

348
00:17:24.279 --> 00:17:27.000
I think is awesome because he is a content creator.

349
00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:29.119
He's done his own way. I've never met the guy,

350
00:17:29.160 --> 00:17:31.799
but he does it his own way. He old school

351
00:17:31.839 --> 00:17:35.519
v logs, He's very true to himself. And then he's

352
00:17:35.519 --> 00:17:38.200
a workhorse, like he clearly works very hard and is

353
00:17:38.240 --> 00:17:40.799
passionate about what he does, and so wherever he ends up,

354
00:17:41.559 --> 00:17:44.480
that's awesome. But and that's great for that sport, and

355
00:17:44.519 --> 00:17:47.400
that'll draw a lot of you know, popularity. But bodybuilding

356
00:17:47.480 --> 00:17:49.680
the other thing why I don't think he can have

357
00:17:49.720 --> 00:17:51.559
the setup that I'm talking about where it's like this

358
00:17:51.640 --> 00:17:54.960
top layer of competitiveness and athletes in this middle in

359
00:17:55.000 --> 00:17:57.160
the in the bulk of people, which is always the

360
00:17:57.160 --> 00:18:02.000
bell curve, right, the bulk of participants being serious but casual.

361
00:18:02.279 --> 00:18:04.799
Bodybuilding can't do that because you can't step on stage

362
00:18:04.839 --> 00:18:09.559
even semi casual, right, like the you can't you can't

363
00:18:09.599 --> 00:18:13.559
even choose, like powerlifting, anyone. We could grab any Joe

364
00:18:13.599 --> 00:18:15.920
Schmoe off the street and say, hey man, twelve weeks,

365
00:18:15.960 --> 00:18:17.759
I'm gonna get you on a powerlifting platform and you're

366
00:18:17.759 --> 00:18:19.599
gonna do get and I could teach him from scratch

367
00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:21.920
and twelve weeks he could go on there and perform.

368
00:18:22.319 --> 00:18:24.920
You can't do that with bodybuilding. You have to have

369
00:18:25.119 --> 00:18:28.880
years of muscle and then sixteen sixteen weeks of that thing,

370
00:18:29.200 --> 00:18:32.240
of that cut or of that prep, and so that

371
00:18:32.240 --> 00:18:34.759
that middle ground where five k same thing, right, we

372
00:18:34.880 --> 00:18:36.680
grab Joe schmo and say, hey man, we're gonna go

373
00:18:36.759 --> 00:18:40.160
really hard for sixteen weeks, twelve weeks and get you

374
00:18:40.160 --> 00:18:41.960
into shape, and you're gonna run a fucking five k.

375
00:18:42.039 --> 00:18:44.920
It's gonna be rad And they could do that, and

376
00:18:44.960 --> 00:18:47.079
you just can't do that with bodybuilding, which I think

377
00:18:47.119 --> 00:18:50.119
does take away kind of that center piece of it.

378
00:18:51.559 --> 00:18:54.720
Despite you know, my personal opinion of bodybuilding, where at

379
00:18:54.759 --> 00:19:00.519
the extreme levels, the guys seem very well nature in

380
00:19:00.680 --> 00:19:08.440
their expression of like human you know, potential. They really

381
00:19:08.519 --> 00:19:10.599
want to push the body and see what it can do.

382
00:19:11.079 --> 00:19:14.319
Where in that bulk level of bodybuilding, it seems like

383
00:19:14.359 --> 00:19:17.759
it's just money and superficial because outside world's always called

384
00:19:17.799 --> 00:19:20.480
bodybuilding superficial. But if you've ever chatted with a very

385
00:19:20.519 --> 00:19:23.680
successful bodybuilder, they're not. You know, like you chat with

386
00:19:23.839 --> 00:19:27.000
Eric Helms and you call him superficial, like you're fucking crazy. Yeah,

387
00:19:27.039 --> 00:19:29.160
Like he actually just wants to see what humans can

388
00:19:29.200 --> 00:19:32.279
fucking do. He does see it as an art. And

389
00:19:32.359 --> 00:19:34.440
I've never met Sebumb, but here in his interviews he

390
00:19:34.480 --> 00:19:37.319
seems very similar. Ronnie Coleman seems similar, like they just

391
00:19:37.359 --> 00:19:39.680
want to push the limits. They're not like, oh, I'm

392
00:19:39.680 --> 00:19:42.839
gonna go get bitches and lambeaus. But that bulk again,

393
00:19:42.920 --> 00:19:45.079
and maybe it's me being critical, but the bulk, because

394
00:19:45.119 --> 00:19:48.640
of social media and because of the base layer of

395
00:19:48.640 --> 00:19:52.759
bodybuilding being superficial, those people end up being superficial, where

396
00:19:52.839 --> 00:19:55.880
I don't think again, that takes away from that center community.

397
00:19:56.160 --> 00:19:58.720
The core of the sport just can't be as cool

398
00:19:58.720 --> 00:20:01.799
as power lifting, and that's where powerlifting to have a shine,

399
00:20:01.880 --> 00:20:04.119
has to have this. And again I don't know what's

400
00:20:04.160 --> 00:20:05.880
missing from it. Probably being boring, I.

401
00:20:05.799 --> 00:20:09.319
Guess, yeah, maybe so, or just I don't know.

402
00:20:09.359 --> 00:20:13.960
We kind of hit a pocket of young population that

403
00:20:14.440 --> 00:20:18.160
you know, saw that as a way to make a mark,

404
00:20:18.480 --> 00:20:21.160
you know. I mean even the ones that are casual

405
00:20:21.440 --> 00:20:26.799
are have have been very focused on goals and whatever.

406
00:20:26.960 --> 00:20:30.400
And you get alter and your goals changed, you know.

407
00:20:30.720 --> 00:20:33.400
Yeah, it gets harder, Yeah right, you get kids or

408
00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:36.920
a job or and and just itself is hard. But again,

409
00:20:37.000 --> 00:20:38.680
like that's the beauty in it, and that's what I

410
00:20:38.680 --> 00:20:40.359
think people are missing. And again I sound like the

411
00:20:40.400 --> 00:20:42.400
old guy, but like the beauty is that you're doing

412
00:20:42.440 --> 00:20:45.720
the same boring ass shit five days a week for

413
00:20:45.839 --> 00:20:48.039
ten years, you know, and then you learn some shit.

414
00:20:48.440 --> 00:20:50.319
You don't learn it on the spot. You don't read

415
00:20:50.319 --> 00:20:52.920
a book. You read a book and you learn powerlifting

416
00:20:53.000 --> 00:20:55.759
is not like that, Like you have to drag yourself through.

417
00:20:56.160 --> 00:21:00.400
Your shoulder has to hurt, you have to attendant in

418
00:21:00.440 --> 00:21:03.200
every joint, and you still show up to train and

419
00:21:03.240 --> 00:21:05.759
then you figure it out, like that's the lessons are

420
00:21:05.920 --> 00:21:10.200
in hindsight, right, we're reading classes. All those are are

421
00:21:10.359 --> 00:21:16.319
direct transfer knowledge learnings on the spot. But powerlifting, the

422
00:21:16.359 --> 00:21:18.759
beauty is in the pain. And I know that sounds

423
00:21:18.799 --> 00:21:23.119
so like stereotypical or like David Goggins type shit, but

424
00:21:23.240 --> 00:21:25.680
it is the truth. And so to me, it sucks

425
00:21:25.720 --> 00:21:28.200
because people are leaving the sport before they get there.

426
00:21:28.759 --> 00:21:30.759
And again, I've left the sport last time I competed

427
00:21:30.799 --> 00:21:34.480
as fucking twenty eighteen, but I've deadlifted nearly every week since.

428
00:21:35.000 --> 00:21:36.880
And if I didn't deadlift, I squatted, And if I

429
00:21:36.880 --> 00:21:39.519
didn't squad, I fucking leg press my brains on, you know,

430
00:21:39.559 --> 00:21:43.039
like every week I've done something to again feel that

431
00:21:43.119 --> 00:21:47.039
treasury that the walking through the mud, the quicksand of

432
00:21:47.079 --> 00:21:50.039
the beauty of the sport and bodybuilding has that part

433
00:21:50.160 --> 00:21:53.039
for sure in it. I think it's just the background

434
00:21:53.079 --> 00:21:56.559
of what people do or you know, they can't continue

435
00:21:56.599 --> 00:21:58.559
to do that either, because I think if you bodybuild

436
00:21:58.599 --> 00:22:00.759
for ten years, you'll have the same results. But people

437
00:22:00.799 --> 00:22:02.039
don't do that as well.

438
00:22:03.200 --> 00:22:05.480
You know. I think that's that's true.

439
00:22:07.640 --> 00:22:12.759
Bodybuilding is to the outside world absolutely superficial because they

440
00:22:13.680 --> 00:22:16.920
see it just about looks right, and that they don't

441
00:22:16.960 --> 00:22:23.440
really think about the work. And people talk about the diet,

442
00:22:23.680 --> 00:22:25.359
but they don't really talk about the dieting.

443
00:22:25.880 --> 00:22:28.359
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, it's the mental part of dieting. Actually

444
00:22:28.359 --> 00:22:30.279
eating that food's easy, right, Like, it's not the food,

445
00:22:30.319 --> 00:22:32.720
isn't that gross? Yeah, it's just saying no to everything

446
00:22:32.720 --> 00:22:33.400
else in your life.

447
00:22:33.480 --> 00:22:36.279
Yeah yeah, and yeah it's a little bit like being

448
00:22:36.680 --> 00:22:38.440
a monk or yeah, you know.

449
00:22:39.200 --> 00:22:41.359
So again the beauty and it's through that the sport

450
00:22:41.400 --> 00:22:42.160
of self denial.

451
00:22:42.480 --> 00:22:44.920
Yeah, it really is, It really is. And I think

452
00:22:44.920 --> 00:22:47.279
that the beauty of like every human trying to do

453
00:22:47.319 --> 00:22:50.119
that would be amazing. But again, you can't just hop

454
00:22:50.160 --> 00:22:54.839
into a bodybuilding prep no right where, like, but you

455
00:22:54.880 --> 00:22:57.319
could do that in powerlifting. You can hop into twelve weeks.

456
00:22:57.440 --> 00:23:00.240
You can focus on your nutrition because yeah, soon you

457
00:23:00.279 --> 00:23:02.319
can say no to every pizza, you can say no

458
00:23:02.440 --> 00:23:04.160
to every beer, and you can say no to every

459
00:23:04.160 --> 00:23:06.440
bad decision and every bad person in your life and

460
00:23:06.480 --> 00:23:08.920
all this stuff. Like there's all these little lessons in there.

461
00:23:08.920 --> 00:23:12.480
But if you can't stick with something long enough, you know,

462
00:23:12.599 --> 00:23:14.400
and a lot of our world I think is just

463
00:23:14.440 --> 00:23:17.200
forcing that. Like there's all those stats of you know,

464
00:23:17.240 --> 00:23:18.680
back in the day, you would stay with the same

465
00:23:18.759 --> 00:23:20.680
job for ten years because they're giving you a raise

466
00:23:20.720 --> 00:23:23.319
every three and you're moving up the ladder. Where now

467
00:23:23.359 --> 00:23:26.480
they like people are promoting and like teaching you to

468
00:23:26.599 --> 00:23:28.680
leave your job every three years because you're gonna get

469
00:23:28.720 --> 00:23:31.960
a bigger raise when you transfer companies, which is true,

470
00:23:31.960 --> 00:23:34.000
and like you can't deny that, and you can't tell

471
00:23:34.039 --> 00:23:35.960
someone not to do it if it better is their life.

472
00:23:36.400 --> 00:23:40.400
But again, it doesn't have that. Yeah, I do just

473
00:23:40.400 --> 00:23:42.039
feel so old talking about it. But it's the same

474
00:23:42.039 --> 00:23:45.400
thing in sports. Why is the NBA crumbling because Lebron

475
00:23:45.480 --> 00:23:48.400
James played on five teams, you know, Yeah, like Jordan

476
00:23:48.519 --> 00:23:50.799
only left when the team actually crumbled, like they kicked

477
00:23:50.839 --> 00:23:53.440
him out of Chicago basically, right, Kobe never left like

478
00:23:53.519 --> 00:23:56.680
Kareem Abdul Jabbar I played with two teams. Like the

479
00:23:56.720 --> 00:23:59.200
magic of the loyalty of the grind of being on

480
00:23:59.240 --> 00:24:00.839
a bad team, being on a good team, being on

481
00:24:00.880 --> 00:24:04.000
a bad team, but fighting through that just like doesn't

482
00:24:04.039 --> 00:24:08.160
exist in our world. From the marketplace to fucking dating,

483
00:24:08.640 --> 00:24:10.720
you break up with your girl, you're right back on Instagram,

484
00:24:10.759 --> 00:24:13.559
fucking finding a new one, like, all of it leads

485
00:24:13.559 --> 00:24:17.200
you to just like our whole society's built around grass

486
00:24:17.240 --> 00:24:19.960
is greener and everyone can say that phrase over and over,

487
00:24:20.039 --> 00:24:22.920
but it's not how people are actually living or executing.

488
00:24:23.200 --> 00:24:25.440
Yeah, yeah, for sure.

489
00:24:30.319 --> 00:24:32.759
Not to change the subject, but did you buy any

490
00:24:32.839 --> 00:24:35.559
chance to watch the first episode of the season of

491
00:24:35.559 --> 00:24:36.240
White Lotus?

492
00:24:36.640 --> 00:24:39.599
No, I've never The two bangers I need to tap

493
00:24:39.640 --> 00:24:42.279
into are Severance and White.

494
00:24:42.279 --> 00:24:46.359
Notice I haven't watched Severance at all. Everyone's heard really

495
00:24:46.400 --> 00:24:47.839
good things about it and never watched it.

496
00:24:47.960 --> 00:24:50.839
Yeah, I don't know what either of them are about, actually,

497
00:24:50.880 --> 00:24:53.200
but they're the only two shows that I hear are

498
00:24:53.240 --> 00:24:56.480
actually good because people are you know, the hype again,

499
00:24:56.519 --> 00:25:00.279
talk about quick turnaround in news cycles like t 's

500
00:25:00.359 --> 00:25:02.680
the same way. Nothing's supposed to be good anymore, But

501
00:25:02.759 --> 00:25:06.279
those two people have stuck with it, said they're hello good. Yeah.

502
00:25:06.359 --> 00:25:09.000
I'm currently watching The Pit too, which is also great.

503
00:25:09.240 --> 00:25:13.319
It's like, yeah, it's kind of like a spiritual sequel

504
00:25:13.359 --> 00:25:17.319
to ER because it's Noah Wiley, who was by the

505
00:25:17.400 --> 00:25:19.759
end of R, he was the main star of R.

506
00:25:20.119 --> 00:25:21.880
It was in ears like thirty years.

507
00:25:21.880 --> 00:25:23.640
I feel like, yeah, it's been a long Yeah.

508
00:25:23.759 --> 00:25:26.640
Yeah, yeah, I couldn't keep up. My parents watched it

509
00:25:26.640 --> 00:25:28.359
as a kid, so would be on in like the background,

510
00:25:28.359 --> 00:25:30.519
but I've never, like I actually watched it either.

511
00:25:30.680 --> 00:25:34.759
It was supposed to be a direct sequel, but Michael

512
00:25:34.799 --> 00:25:38.000
Crichton wrote the book that Er was based on, and

513
00:25:38.079 --> 00:25:42.079
his estate would not give them the rights to make

514
00:25:42.119 --> 00:25:44.880
a sequel, and so they changed some details.

515
00:25:45.160 --> 00:25:46.680
But it's very good.

516
00:25:46.519 --> 00:25:51.200
And it's sold in the style of twenty four Every

517
00:25:51.240 --> 00:25:54.400
hour is an hour of a twenty four hour day.

518
00:25:54.559 --> 00:25:54.759
Yeah.

519
00:25:55.400 --> 00:25:57.359
I don't think it's really twenty four hours. I think

520
00:25:57.359 --> 00:26:00.839
we're going to get thirteen or fourteen or that.

521
00:26:00.880 --> 00:26:03.519
But like yeah, like one yeah, piece of Yeah.

522
00:26:03.559 --> 00:26:07.759
Really really good. But White Lotus started during the pandemic

523
00:26:08.039 --> 00:26:13.480
because they had trouble finding any place that they could

524
00:26:14.640 --> 00:26:18.680
they could shoot, they could control for for COVIDU and

525
00:26:20.240 --> 00:26:23.359
Mike white Is the was a creator and the head

526
00:26:23.359 --> 00:26:26.680
of HBO said, do you have anything that would could

527
00:26:26.720 --> 00:26:32.279
be shot kind of simply and and work. And he

528
00:26:32.319 --> 00:26:35.240
said yes, even though he only sort of had an idea,

529
00:26:35.480 --> 00:26:38.039
and wrote the first season, which was like six episodes,

530
00:26:38.599 --> 00:26:41.319
and they shot it in a hotel in Hawaii, was

531
00:26:41.480 --> 00:26:43.519
essentially empty because no one was traveling.

532
00:26:43.559 --> 00:26:45.559
I remember hearing the story wasn't there. There was a

533
00:26:45.720 --> 00:26:46.920
parody made of that too.

534
00:26:46.759 --> 00:26:49.839
Maybe maybe probably, I don't know what was it called.

535
00:26:49.880 --> 00:26:52.480
They might have peel in it, but I think they

536
00:26:52.519 --> 00:26:54.400
made a parody of that where they flew everybody in

537
00:26:54.440 --> 00:26:55.559
and had him in a hotel and it was just

538
00:26:55.559 --> 00:26:57.559
like a dumb ass comedy. It wasn't funny at all,

539
00:26:57.599 --> 00:26:58.799
but the concept was the same.

540
00:27:00.079 --> 00:27:00.920
It's uh.

541
00:27:01.880 --> 00:27:04.000
I just watched the first episode of the of the

542
00:27:04.039 --> 00:27:07.599
new season the other night. It it's just intriguing the

543
00:27:07.599 --> 00:27:11.200
way the way the storytelling works, because there's like a

544
00:27:11.240 --> 00:27:16.599
basic template for every every season, there's a there's usual

545
00:27:17.599 --> 00:27:23.920
four or five three, so this is uh. The part

546
00:27:23.920 --> 00:27:26.839
of the template is that you see you see a

547
00:27:26.880 --> 00:27:31.599
dead body at the very beginning, and then the whole

548
00:27:31.680 --> 00:27:34.599
rest of most of the rest of the season is

549
00:27:34.640 --> 00:27:39.440
told in flashback, so it leads out, Yeah, and you

550
00:27:39.559 --> 00:27:44.960
don't know who the dead person is you see the body,

551
00:27:44.960 --> 00:27:45.240
but you.

552
00:27:45.200 --> 00:27:47.519
Don't know who it is, so it is mystery issue.

553
00:27:47.599 --> 00:27:49.920
Yeah, it's mystery ish, but the mystery is not the point.

554
00:27:49.960 --> 00:27:52.559
The point is really just how the people interact. It's

555
00:27:52.559 --> 00:27:56.759
a character study thing. But you know, this season's got

556
00:27:56.799 --> 00:27:59.559
a hell of a cast. I don't know, you know,

557
00:27:59.599 --> 00:28:02.440
Walton is one of the main characters.

558
00:28:02.400 --> 00:28:04.440
Faces maybe so they changed cast every season.

559
00:28:04.440 --> 00:28:08.240
Then yeah, that mostly mostly.

560
00:28:09.000 --> 00:28:13.559
The first two seasons had one recurring character that was

561
00:28:13.640 --> 00:28:15.720
killed off at the end of the second season.

562
00:28:16.240 --> 00:28:16.640
And.

563
00:28:18.160 --> 00:28:24.319
This this season has two characters from previous different prevint

564
00:28:24.599 --> 00:28:26.599
previous seasons.

565
00:28:26.640 --> 00:28:29.559
Pretty I don't know, it's it's been fun to watch.

566
00:28:29.640 --> 00:28:31.519
Yeah, people are talking about it for sure. Yes, and

567
00:28:31.519 --> 00:28:34.000
the same with Severns because that new season dropped for

568
00:28:34.000 --> 00:28:34.240
that team.

569
00:28:34.319 --> 00:28:35.640
Yeah, it's a few weeks ago it started.

570
00:28:35.839 --> 00:28:37.400
Yeah, I need to start that. And then I saw

571
00:28:37.480 --> 00:28:40.759
somebody like super random but famous. Fuck I can't remember,

572
00:28:41.359 --> 00:28:43.880
like maybe an athlete or something was tweeting them out

573
00:28:43.880 --> 00:28:47.079
getting on to severance and then I think the director's like, yeah, man,

574
00:28:47.160 --> 00:28:50.160
like we'll chat or something like something. Super random. Yeah.

575
00:28:50.319 --> 00:28:52.279
I feel like we're living in a time where if

576
00:28:52.319 --> 00:28:56.559
you're a celebrity or or or a top level influence

577
00:28:56.680 --> 00:28:58.079
or worldever fingertips.

578
00:28:58.119 --> 00:29:00.680
It kind of is yeah.

579
00:29:00.079 --> 00:29:02.240
And it and it's always made sense. It just makes

580
00:29:02.279 --> 00:29:05.400
more sense now that like attention sells, right. Who has

581
00:29:05.440 --> 00:29:08.079
the most attention is these internet people? Like half of

582
00:29:08.079 --> 00:29:11.200
the celebrity NBA game. Not that it's like a huge indicator,

583
00:29:11.240 --> 00:29:13.119
but back in the day they had like Chris Rock

584
00:29:13.200 --> 00:29:15.720
and like or not Chris Rock, Chris Tucker or whatever.

585
00:29:15.759 --> 00:29:17.759
You know, they had big movie stars, and now it's

586
00:29:17.799 --> 00:29:19.880
like a lot of social media folk. You know, like

587
00:29:19.920 --> 00:29:21.680
they had a couple of Olympians, which was cool. They

588
00:29:21.680 --> 00:29:23.960
had like a high jumper. But if you have, if

589
00:29:24.000 --> 00:29:27.400
you can gather attention, you're probably gonna win the game.

590
00:29:27.519 --> 00:29:31.279
You know. Like Dave Portnoy, a barstool like is all

591
00:29:31.279 --> 00:29:33.559
over the news because he gathers a lot of attention,

592
00:29:33.720 --> 00:29:38.519
you know, so he's in different situations politically or financially.

593
00:29:38.599 --> 00:29:41.039
And yeah, I mean, you gather attention, you find your

594
00:29:41.079 --> 00:29:41.839
way anywhere in.

595
00:29:41.960 --> 00:29:47.000
Movies, not too overly comment on anybody's appearance or whatever.

596
00:29:47.079 --> 00:29:49.519
But I think over the last five years his face

597
00:29:49.559 --> 00:29:52.400
has aged a lot, I mean more than.

598
00:29:52.279 --> 00:29:54.599
Five years worth. I never really even understood it or

599
00:29:54.640 --> 00:29:56.559
like followed that world a lot, like I know now

600
00:29:56.599 --> 00:29:59.440
they basically produce a lot of podcasts and stuff, and

601
00:29:59.440 --> 00:30:01.759
he probably starts I know he started in like sports,

602
00:30:01.839 --> 00:30:05.599
but I do know the company does insanely well, so

603
00:30:05.599 --> 00:30:07.119
he's probably just stressed out of his brains.

604
00:30:07.200 --> 00:30:09.720
They sold it too, he says, Yeah, he's.

605
00:30:09.559 --> 00:30:10.279
Just a part of it now.

606
00:30:10.359 --> 00:30:12.640
Yeah. Interesting, Yeah, that sold it for a bunch.

607
00:30:12.720 --> 00:30:14.759
Yeah, I'm sure. I'm sure a lot of those companies.

608
00:30:14.839 --> 00:30:18.039
It is crazy how they evolved, like Complex. Complex was

609
00:30:18.079 --> 00:30:19.960
like kind of like a hip hop fashion magazine and

610
00:30:20.000 --> 00:30:22.000
now they I think they owned hot Ones, right, like

611
00:30:22.039 --> 00:30:25.119
they owned everything. Yeah, or they bought it. Maybe they

612
00:30:25.119 --> 00:30:28.039
started it. I think they did. I think they started

613
00:30:28.039 --> 00:30:29.039
it and just sold it.

614
00:30:29.279 --> 00:30:31.240
Yeah hot Ones. Yeah, yeah, I think they did.

615
00:30:31.319 --> 00:30:34.119
They started hot Ones and just sold it, which is like, yeah,

616
00:30:34.160 --> 00:30:35.880
it is the new age media, right, Like you're not

617
00:30:35.880 --> 00:30:38.599
just gonna put out a magazine anymore. You're going to fail, right,

618
00:30:38.759 --> 00:30:40.400
like you have to do other shit. And a lot

619
00:30:40.400 --> 00:30:43.079
of them moved to YouTube channels and podcasts, which is cool,

620
00:30:43.200 --> 00:30:46.880
Vice or whatever, right because Vice was a magazine first

621
00:30:46.920 --> 00:30:49.279
I saw and then moved into YouTube. Where do you

622
00:30:49.319 --> 00:30:52.839
get most popular YouTube right, they had like mini dogs. Yeah,

623
00:30:52.960 --> 00:30:55.559
I watched some of those, and some of that's actually

624
00:30:55.599 --> 00:30:57.960
like I think that's kind of the main vein of YouTube,

625
00:30:58.039 --> 00:31:00.599
not to like circle around, but I know we've talked

626
00:31:00.599 --> 00:31:02.519
about like where YouTube is and shit. A lot of

627
00:31:02.559 --> 00:31:05.279
it seems like mini docs and they're just like extra raw,

628
00:31:05.920 --> 00:31:10.359
you know, like kind of the news five type Channel five. Yeah, yeah,

629
00:31:10.440 --> 00:31:12.880
Channel five, because there's like five six dudes that do that.

630
00:31:13.039 --> 00:31:15.559
So I'm just going to like the most violent neighborhood

631
00:31:15.640 --> 00:31:19.319
or something, yeah, or like interviewing you know, homeless people

632
00:31:19.359 --> 00:31:23.000
in Vegas, or the fentanyl crisis in Philadelphia or whatever.

633
00:31:22.799 --> 00:31:25.039
The San Francisco people breaking into shit.

634
00:31:25.160 --> 00:31:27.680
Yeah, just like the most raw documentaries ever, and those

635
00:31:27.720 --> 00:31:31.079
are interesting. As much as like shit content is out there,

636
00:31:31.079 --> 00:31:34.000
there is some like people producing like actually good shit.

637
00:31:34.680 --> 00:31:41.160
I'm actually going to see a Australia based YouTube cover

638
00:31:41.319 --> 00:31:44.279
band tomorrow night here in Sacramento, just like their first

639
00:31:44.920 --> 00:31:47.079
tour in America.

640
00:31:47.400 --> 00:31:47.880
Interesting.

641
00:31:48.119 --> 00:31:50.160
Yeah, they're just really good that people call it the

642
00:31:50.480 --> 00:31:56.799
greatest cover band in the world name Hindley Street Country Club.

643
00:31:57.119 --> 00:31:59.279
Interesting because there's a couple there's no idea why they

644
00:31:59.319 --> 00:32:01.559
call that, but there's probably like five because I don't

645
00:32:01.599 --> 00:32:04.680
know why. I've always liked covers since that's again like YouTube.

646
00:32:04.759 --> 00:32:06.599
I've never really watched watch, but I always used to

647
00:32:06.599 --> 00:32:09.319
go for music and covers and acoustic sets and shit

648
00:32:09.440 --> 00:32:14.359
like that. There's like legitimately insanely talented cover bands and

649
00:32:14.359 --> 00:32:16.880
they're everywhere. But and they've been a thing, right, Like

650
00:32:16.920 --> 00:32:18.400
I remember going to the State Fair as a kid

651
00:32:18.400 --> 00:32:21.720
and they're like, oh, like the Wheedles are here, you know,

652
00:32:21.880 --> 00:32:25.519
so Beatles cover band or whatever the fuck? Uh, but uh,

653
00:32:25.720 --> 00:32:28.640
there's some like legitimately talented ones that some more successful

654
00:32:28.680 --> 00:32:31.000
than other. Yeah. Yeah, some tour somehow, I don't know how,

655
00:32:31.039 --> 00:32:33.599
but YouTube has like because I forgot the other one

656
00:32:33.759 --> 00:32:39.640
something road maybe, but they're just extremely talented, built full

657
00:32:39.680 --> 00:32:42.720
careers just mostly because of YouTube. Where yeah, you could

658
00:32:42.759 --> 00:32:44.440
tour as the Wheatles or whatever the fun, but we're

659
00:32:44.440 --> 00:32:46.960
probably not making real money. Yeah, where these YouTube channels

660
00:32:46.960 --> 00:32:47.559
have crushed it.

661
00:32:47.880 --> 00:32:51.359
This Australian band like split three or four years ago,

662
00:32:51.799 --> 00:32:54.440
and not like I don't think it was an acrimonious split.

663
00:32:54.519 --> 00:32:56.759
It's just that they just kind of wanted to go

664
00:32:56.799 --> 00:32:59.920
in different directions. So the other guy has a too

665
00:33:00.039 --> 00:33:03.119
video in his basement and that they used to record

666
00:33:03.279 --> 00:33:06.000
in some of the time. And he has a different

667
00:33:06.079 --> 00:33:08.799
channel called sing It Live that also releases a new

668
00:33:08.799 --> 00:33:10.920
song every week. And when I say new song, it's

669
00:33:10.920 --> 00:33:13.839
all it's all covers. Yeah, they don't do any originals

670
00:33:13.880 --> 00:33:19.160
at all. And then there's another one in Lexington. I

671
00:33:19.200 --> 00:33:22.240
don't know if there's listening in Tennessee or Kentucky. I

672
00:33:22.279 --> 00:33:23.480
don't know which one.

673
00:33:23.480 --> 00:33:27.799
It is called Lexington Lab Band though there's also just excellent,

674
00:33:27.799 --> 00:33:31.279
but it's almost all like American music covers.

675
00:33:31.599 --> 00:33:34.599
I could see those bands splitting very easily, just based

676
00:33:34.640 --> 00:33:37.160
on the fact, like I feel like, if you're a musician,

677
00:33:37.240 --> 00:33:39.279
like deep in your heart, you're gonna get sick of

678
00:33:39.359 --> 00:33:41.559
doing covers, Like eventually you're gonna want to write your

679
00:33:41.559 --> 00:33:42.039
own music.

680
00:33:42.200 --> 00:33:44.319
Yeah, I would think that that's probably true.

681
00:33:44.359 --> 00:33:47.200
Like shout out Teddy Swims, who performed at the Grammy's. Yeah,

682
00:33:47.200 --> 00:33:49.599
we spoke about that. It was fucking rad to see

683
00:33:49.599 --> 00:33:52.160
his come up. But in the beginning he sang covers

684
00:33:52.200 --> 00:33:55.759
on TikTok and crushed it, and then he slowly seeped

685
00:33:55.759 --> 00:33:57.680
his own shit in there, and then now he was

686
00:33:57.680 --> 00:34:00.079
like top ten on the Billboard one hundred for the

687
00:34:00.119 --> 00:34:01.039
last like six months.

688
00:34:01.119 --> 00:34:04.200
Yeah, it wasn't his Don't Stop Believing cover in one

689
00:34:04.200 --> 00:34:04.759
of our shirts.

690
00:34:04.839 --> 00:34:08.239
Yeah. Yeah, it's probably our biggest uh clothing uh Instagram

691
00:34:08.239 --> 00:34:10.199
because of that, because then he fucking crushes it, you know,

692
00:34:10.280 --> 00:34:12.440
and and his voice is in saying and he's worth it.

693
00:34:12.480 --> 00:34:16.039
He just did a hear his new song, give On. Yeah, yeah,

694
00:34:16.039 --> 00:34:18.280
it's so good, Like give On's a R and B

695
00:34:18.400 --> 00:34:19.519
is just kind of like, I don't want to say

696
00:34:19.519 --> 00:34:20.880
it's dead, but like R and B is just not

697
00:34:20.920 --> 00:34:23.039
that popular right now, you know, and give you On,

698
00:34:23.239 --> 00:34:24.920
because if R and B was popular, give you on

699
00:34:24.920 --> 00:34:27.480
and be the guy like give you on can fucking sing. Yeah,

700
00:34:27.559 --> 00:34:29.159
And he's like a hip hop R and B artist

701
00:34:29.159 --> 00:34:30.920
that no one knows because R and B is just

702
00:34:30.920 --> 00:34:33.880
not the it shit, you know, like all this bullshit

703
00:34:33.960 --> 00:34:36.559
mumble raps kind of the it shit. Uh. But he

704
00:34:36.599 --> 00:34:38.679
did a song give On recently that's so good too,

705
00:34:38.719 --> 00:34:41.440
and I'm sure that'll that'll get on Billboard Top one hundred.

706
00:34:41.519 --> 00:34:45.199
But you know, like someone like that who's probably just

707
00:34:45.280 --> 00:34:48.320
so creative and such an artist and so skilled, I

708
00:34:48.320 --> 00:34:50.039
don't see you know, he couldn't tour his whole life

709
00:34:50.119 --> 00:34:53.000
is covers. He'd probably just feel so tortured doing that.

710
00:34:53.440 --> 00:34:54.239
You know, it's weird.

711
00:34:54.320 --> 00:34:59.519
I was listening to a podcast about the Blues Brothers

712
00:34:59.519 --> 00:35:02.400
the other day, which, by the way, came out the

713
00:35:02.440 --> 00:35:05.840
same day as Empire Strikes Back.

714
00:35:06.199 --> 00:35:07.280
Interesting in nineteen eight.

715
00:35:07.480 --> 00:35:10.960
Well, I'm still so confused. It's just a movie, right, yeah, well,

716
00:35:11.119 --> 00:35:12.800
like it's it's not a real band.

717
00:35:13.599 --> 00:35:15.679
Well, they did tour as a real band, but after

718
00:35:15.679 --> 00:35:19.480
the movie, the day that the movie dropped, like it

719
00:35:19.639 --> 00:35:20.199
started a tour.

720
00:35:20.280 --> 00:35:21.360
Yeah, it was like made to get.

721
00:35:21.199 --> 00:35:23.880
But they played on Saturday Night Live. It's it's the

722
00:35:23.880 --> 00:35:25.480
first Saturday Night Live spinoff movie.

723
00:35:26.079 --> 00:35:28.440
Because I saw I saw that as like a kid,

724
00:35:29.199 --> 00:35:31.239
and I was like raised with old school music, you know.

725
00:35:31.440 --> 00:35:34.159
So I've always been to this day confused on who

726
00:35:34.159 --> 00:35:36.280
the fuck they are, Like I know who the actors are, yeah,

727
00:35:36.280 --> 00:35:38.199
and I knew they were comedians, Yeah.

728
00:35:38.440 --> 00:35:39.880
They were, Yeah they were.

729
00:35:39.920 --> 00:35:42.360
They performed on Saturday Night Live obviously, you know as

730
00:35:42.480 --> 00:35:47.519
Ackroyd and Belushi, but they Ackroyd was like a big

731
00:35:47.559 --> 00:35:49.719
fan of that style of music, which by the way,

732
00:35:49.800 --> 00:35:50.440
isn't blues.

733
00:35:50.480 --> 00:35:51.079
It's R and B.

734
00:35:51.400 --> 00:35:54.320
Yeah, yeah, like there isn't the blues Brothers movie has

735
00:35:54.360 --> 00:35:55.599
no blues in it at all.

736
00:35:55.760 --> 00:35:56.639
It's all R and B.

737
00:35:58.599 --> 00:36:00.199
Yeah, I don't know why that. I was confused fun

738
00:36:00.280 --> 00:36:01.920
out of me. My dad was a big Blue Chi fan.

739
00:36:02.079 --> 00:36:05.719
That's why I think it was around my life. The Saturday,

740
00:36:05.800 --> 00:36:08.159
I wanted to watch it the Saturday Night Live. I

741
00:36:08.159 --> 00:36:08.880
was gonna say, did.

742
00:36:08.760 --> 00:36:11.039
You watch that? I've only seen some of the musical

743
00:36:11.039 --> 00:36:12.079
performances I've not seen.

744
00:36:12.119 --> 00:36:15.280
Yeah, I just saw clips. I just saw clips. But

745
00:36:15.280 --> 00:36:17.119
it seemed like everyone there was cool. I mean, I'm

746
00:36:17.119 --> 00:36:19.119
a big fan. Like obviously, Saturday Night Live goes in

747
00:36:19.280 --> 00:36:22.440
waves depending on the cast. Often, you know, a lot

748
00:36:22.440 --> 00:36:26.000
of the writers seem semi consistent. But yeah, so that

749
00:36:26.079 --> 00:36:28.760
the Adam Sandler clip, and despite the song not being

750
00:36:28.800 --> 00:36:31.960
that good, his heart was there in the crowd. See.

751
00:36:31.960 --> 00:36:33.000
I don't know if you saw that clip.

752
00:36:33.039 --> 00:36:33.599
I didn't see that.

753
00:36:33.760 --> 00:36:35.719
It was so good because he's just like showing love

754
00:36:35.760 --> 00:36:39.280
to everyone who's been there, and obviously like Chris Farley

755
00:36:39.360 --> 00:36:41.000
and all the other people that have passed, who else

756
00:36:41.079 --> 00:36:44.360
just passed? Uh fuck, there's another famous Saturday Night Live

757
00:36:44.400 --> 00:36:47.000
guy that just passed. Whatever, you know, he's showing them

758
00:36:47.039 --> 00:36:49.639
all love and Jack Nicholas which I didn't know because

759
00:36:49.679 --> 00:36:51.840
he's always at the Lakers games. But I guess he's

760
00:36:51.840 --> 00:36:52.559
such a recluse.

761
00:36:52.679 --> 00:36:53.360
Oh, Nicholson.

762
00:36:53.639 --> 00:36:57.800
Nicholson. Sorry, he's been on my feet a lot lately too.

763
00:36:57.920 --> 00:37:01.280
He's getting all political. Yeah, I don't know. Uh yeah,

764
00:37:01.360 --> 00:37:02.159
Jack Nicholson.

765
00:37:02.320 --> 00:37:02.480
Uh.

766
00:37:03.440 --> 00:37:06.000
I guess he's a huge recluse, which I didn't know

767
00:37:06.000 --> 00:37:08.440
because he's famous for me and every fucking Lakers game ever.

768
00:37:08.519 --> 00:37:12.000
But everyone was freaking out that he showed up to this,

769
00:37:12.679 --> 00:37:14.440
and I guess he did it for Adam because they're

770
00:37:14.440 --> 00:37:15.119
really good buddies.

771
00:37:15.400 --> 00:37:16.880
Over three hundred celebrities.

772
00:37:17.079 --> 00:37:19.199
Yeah. Everyone. You look in the crowd and people are

773
00:37:19.239 --> 00:37:21.000
just like, you know, every face.

774
00:37:21.199 --> 00:37:22.039
Did you see.

775
00:37:21.800 --> 00:37:25.039
The Backstreet Boys?

776
00:37:25.760 --> 00:37:30.440
No, they just got a fucking uh residency in Vegas though,

777
00:37:30.719 --> 00:37:31.199
did they.

778
00:37:31.679 --> 00:37:33.679
Well? I, you know, I'm not like a giant fan

779
00:37:33.760 --> 00:37:39.159
or anything, but uh uh what's that song? Ain't nothing

780
00:37:39.159 --> 00:37:40.039
about a heartache?

781
00:37:39.960 --> 00:37:41.320
Yeah? Yeah, they did.

782
00:37:41.159 --> 00:37:44.079
That and one of one of them has like serious

783
00:37:44.159 --> 00:37:47.960
vocal trouble and like he was the first singer. It

784
00:37:48.079 --> 00:37:50.239
was like, oh man, some of that really where we're

785
00:37:50.239 --> 00:37:54.039
going is sad, you know, because they were straight up talented, right,

786
00:37:54.039 --> 00:37:55.840
Like that was kind of the you know again, I'm

787
00:37:56.199 --> 00:37:58.920
this is like my old guy episode, Like music has

788
00:37:59.000 --> 00:38:00.519
gone to less talent to people.

789
00:38:00.679 --> 00:38:03.599
You know, like popular music now isn't based on talent, right,

790
00:38:03.639 --> 00:38:06.679
It's based on trends and catching attention and whatever. I

791
00:38:06.719 --> 00:38:08.639
do feel like that was kind of the last era

792
00:38:08.679 --> 00:38:12.000
of talent actually making it like you can hate Christina Aguilera,

793
00:38:12.079 --> 00:38:14.920
but that bitch can sing like she's fucking good, you know,

794
00:38:15.039 --> 00:38:17.440
Like Backstreet Boys, same thing. You can think they're fucking

795
00:38:18.039 --> 00:38:20.639
losers or whatever, but they can fucking they could really

796
00:38:20.760 --> 00:38:23.000
dance and they could really sing. At the time, they really,

797
00:38:23.199 --> 00:38:27.199
I mean, except for that, you know, the one voice

798
00:38:27.199 --> 00:38:28.320
that was their very subpart.

799
00:38:28.360 --> 00:38:29.280
They sounded great.

800
00:38:29.360 --> 00:38:31.360
But it's hard to look at them now. They all

801
00:38:31.400 --> 00:38:35.599
got beer bellies, they're all fucking balding. They're fucking one

802
00:38:35.639 --> 00:38:37.519
of them, dude. It was the saddest clip. I think

803
00:38:37.519 --> 00:38:39.119
it was a Backstreet Boy And again, I was a

804
00:38:39.119 --> 00:38:41.400
fan of them growing up. Bro. I remember the first

805
00:38:41.440 --> 00:38:43.039
I don't know if I've told this story, but you know,

806
00:38:43.079 --> 00:38:45.599
there's like a feeling you get. Some people don't get it,

807
00:38:45.639 --> 00:38:47.760
but like most people get attached to some kind of

808
00:38:47.840 --> 00:38:50.559
music and you get like a feeling the first feeling

809
00:38:50.599 --> 00:38:53.400
of hype I got from like a song, one of

810
00:38:53.440 --> 00:38:56.079
their fucking songs came on. I was like probably second

811
00:38:56.119 --> 00:38:59.039
third grade, just on the radio, drive into a soccer game,

812
00:38:59.199 --> 00:39:01.440
and I'm like, fuck, dude, I'm gonna fucking slide tackle

813
00:39:01.480 --> 00:39:03.320
the fuck out of a kid, like I felt. I

814
00:39:03.360 --> 00:39:06.400
felt this energy that was insane and ever since, you know,

815
00:39:06.480 --> 00:39:09.159
like a PR song obviously in our sport's very popular,

816
00:39:09.199 --> 00:39:10.920
but like at that time, I was like, fuck, this

817
00:39:11.000 --> 00:39:13.639
is making me feel crazy, you know, and I'm fucking

818
00:39:13.679 --> 00:39:17.440
ten years old. But there's a really famous clip within

819
00:39:17.480 --> 00:39:20.280
the last six months of one of them performing solo

820
00:39:21.159 --> 00:39:24.119
but doing the group's songs because they're obviously not a

821
00:39:24.119 --> 00:39:27.440
solo act, right Like it looked like a high school gymnasium.

822
00:39:27.480 --> 00:39:29.840
It was really it was really really bad. It was

823
00:39:29.960 --> 00:39:33.239
very sad. Yeah, you get the you know, like the

824
00:39:33.519 --> 00:39:37.599
fucking hot box effective cringe, you get the group the

825
00:39:37.719 --> 00:39:40.679
hot box of crea. Yeah, you get the group embarrassment.

826
00:39:40.760 --> 00:39:42.519
What's called there's like a real term for it, people

827
00:39:42.599 --> 00:39:46.239
use fuck. I forgot second like secondhand embarrassment. I guess, yeah,

828
00:39:46.320 --> 00:39:48.119
that doesn't sound as good. I thought it was a

829
00:39:48.159 --> 00:39:50.519
more creative term. But yeah, you're just watching it like fuck,

830
00:39:50.519 --> 00:39:51.679
I'm embarrassed for all of us.

831
00:39:52.440 --> 00:39:53.039
That's not good.

832
00:39:53.159 --> 00:39:55.559
That Corbacto boys, that's kind of random. Saturday Night Live

833
00:39:55.599 --> 00:39:58.719
ad Like, obviously they were popular, but I wonder why

834
00:39:58.719 --> 00:39:59.320
they chose them.

835
00:39:59.360 --> 00:39:59.800
I don't know.

836
00:39:59.840 --> 00:40:02.559
But man, every every celebrity in the audience was standing

837
00:40:02.599 --> 00:40:03.960
and singing along and stuff.

838
00:40:04.000 --> 00:40:06.199
Maybe that's why, because the age of the celebrities of

839
00:40:06.239 --> 00:40:06.719
the audience.

840
00:40:08.519 --> 00:40:10.880
Yeah, it was I mean, you know what when I

841
00:40:10.880 --> 00:40:12.719
saw of it was fun. I just I was I

842
00:40:12.760 --> 00:40:15.039
was gone all weekend and we just didn't watch TV

843
00:40:15.199 --> 00:40:15.760
most of the time.

844
00:40:15.760 --> 00:40:16.719
I'm that late.

845
00:40:17.719 --> 00:40:19.519
Yeah, I think it was actually in primetime though. I

846
00:40:19.519 --> 00:40:21.000
think it was actually on Sunday in primetime.

847
00:40:21.239 --> 00:40:23.159
And sometimes here though it'll be on at nine because

848
00:40:23.159 --> 00:40:26.000
they'll replay the East Coast version or play live the

849
00:40:26.039 --> 00:40:26.800
East Coast version.

850
00:40:27.280 --> 00:40:30.000
So we were up in Minnicino. My brother and sister

851
00:40:30.039 --> 00:40:36.239
in law, who live in Virginia, flew out and I

852
00:40:36.280 --> 00:40:38.440
don't remember exactly where they connected. I think it might

853
00:40:38.480 --> 00:40:42.360
have been Dallas, but I'm not sure. In the airport,

854
00:40:42.679 --> 00:40:47.840
you know, waiting for their next flight, saw James Hetfield,

855
00:40:48.239 --> 00:40:52.840
a Metallica They were, you know, pretty blown away by that.

856
00:40:52.880 --> 00:40:55.000
I guess how's that kind of flying private? I don't know.

857
00:40:55.079 --> 00:40:57.159
That's a good question, and most I think a lot

858
00:40:57.199 --> 00:41:01.039
of super celebrities don't, especially who are you know Medalic has.

859
00:41:00.920 --> 00:41:02.440
Gonna have crazy money.

860
00:41:02.159 --> 00:41:04.440
Though you would think, yeah, I mean they made their

861
00:41:04.440 --> 00:41:05.679
money when you could still make it.

862
00:41:06.280 --> 00:41:08.800
Yeah, even now, just on replaces of Spotify, that guy's

863
00:41:08.800 --> 00:41:09.719
probably getting a check.

864
00:41:10.039 --> 00:41:12.599
Yeah, probably a check. But nobody makes money off Spotify.

865
00:41:13.360 --> 00:41:15.599
It's I mean, I just don't make money off.

866
00:41:16.239 --> 00:41:18.480
Kind of like the top one percent. I thought it

867
00:41:18.519 --> 00:41:20.760
was like a YouTube deal, you know, like if you're

868
00:41:20.840 --> 00:41:23.480
the guy like mister Beasts, because people say the same

869
00:41:23.519 --> 00:41:26.639
thing about uh, they say the same thing about YouTube,

870
00:41:26.639 --> 00:41:29.239
But then you see fucking mister beast dashboard. He's falling

871
00:41:29.239 --> 00:41:32.639
in four million bunths. Yeah, you're like, I can't make

872
00:41:32.719 --> 00:41:35.000
up money on YouTube anymore, Well for mister Beast.

873
00:41:36.000 --> 00:41:40.519
So I'm actually gonna take the opportunity to punch down

874
00:41:40.559 --> 00:41:41.400
on my brother in.

875
00:41:41.440 --> 00:41:43.760
Law just a little bit. Uh.

876
00:41:44.840 --> 00:41:48.159
I guess he was in a in a wine shop

877
00:41:48.239 --> 00:41:50.519
in the airport. I'm not really even sure exactly how

878
00:41:50.559 --> 00:41:54.599
this happened, but he saw a bottle of wine that

879
00:41:54.760 --> 00:41:58.480
said Sandman. So he thought, oh man, but it's it

880
00:41:58.559 --> 00:42:00.960
wasn't s A N d an. It was s A

881
00:42:01.119 --> 00:42:04.599
N d E M A n Like, it's a sign

882
00:42:04.639 --> 00:42:06.960
I should just buy this and bring it. So he

883
00:42:07.079 --> 00:42:09.880
spent about ninety bucks on this bottle of wine.

884
00:42:09.920 --> 00:42:14.119
Nice because he saw the Metallica guy first. Yes, yeah,

885
00:42:14.199 --> 00:42:15.880
that is a sign I'd do the same. I like that.

886
00:42:16.079 --> 00:42:21.000
Yes, So he cracks it open, however, and I will

887
00:42:21.280 --> 00:42:24.679
I have the the image of his face when he

888
00:42:25.239 --> 00:42:29.599
got the first taste of it. It's a port which

889
00:42:29.639 --> 00:42:33.960
is a dessert wine. Yeah, it's super sweet, and he

890
00:42:34.119 --> 00:42:38.280
was really good it was. But he's like he was

891
00:42:38.480 --> 00:42:40.320
he wasn't the only everyone, you know, two or three

892
00:42:40.320 --> 00:42:42.320
people to sip at the same time. We're like, oh

893
00:42:42.480 --> 00:42:46.920
my goodness, Yeah, this is not not exactly what the

894
00:42:46.960 --> 00:42:47.639
occasion called.

895
00:42:47.679 --> 00:42:49.400
No no, no, So it came home with me.

896
00:42:49.679 --> 00:42:52.039
So I don't know if I'd recognize Metallica if I

897
00:42:52.039 --> 00:42:55.159
walked through him or walked away. Although Dallas I think

898
00:42:55.280 --> 00:42:58.280
is probably the only place trying to think of like

899
00:42:58.519 --> 00:43:01.119
wild celebrity sightings, you know, because even like my cousins

900
00:43:01.159 --> 00:43:03.639
and she's like, oh, you live in California, you've seen shit. Like, no, bro,

901
00:43:03.719 --> 00:43:05.400
you don't see nothing. And I've been in La a

902
00:43:05.440 --> 00:43:08.599
Ton never seen anything. But well you go to expos,

903
00:43:08.840 --> 00:43:10.360
you know, but that doesn't count, you know. Like I

904
00:43:10.360 --> 00:43:12.599
saw Bones Jones on the street, but like I knew

905
00:43:12.639 --> 00:43:14.519
he was there for the Fit expone, so we like,

906
00:43:14.599 --> 00:43:17.159
I feel like that doesn't count. I saw Carrot Top

907
00:43:17.840 --> 00:43:21.440
cruising around Dallas, and again, like if it was Metallica

908
00:43:21.519 --> 00:43:23.639
or even like a you know, a bigger name, so

909
00:43:23.719 --> 00:43:25.760
like fucking Ryan Reynolds, I don't know if I noticed.

910
00:43:25.800 --> 00:43:28.039
I'm in an airport because I'm like headphones on and

911
00:43:28.039 --> 00:43:31.440
I'm just trudging, you know, but like this was steroid

912
00:43:31.559 --> 00:43:34.360
Carrot Top, and so you're seeing a bright red afro

913
00:43:34.599 --> 00:43:37.239
with like huge biceps, Like there's no way I couldn't

914
00:43:37.239 --> 00:43:38.960
see him. I was just like, what the fuck's going on?

915
00:43:39.000 --> 00:43:41.679
He's just stand in the middle of airport. Yeah, I

916
00:43:41.679 --> 00:43:43.679
don't wonder. I mean, Dallas is a huge hub, right

917
00:43:43.760 --> 00:43:47.760
like Dallas, Colorado, Atlanta, those are huge airport hubs. But

918
00:43:47.840 --> 00:43:49.519
even still, I don't know, man, I think if I'm

919
00:43:49.519 --> 00:43:52.559
a metallic compline, I'm spending that twenty g's for a

920
00:43:52.559 --> 00:43:53.760
private for sure.

921
00:43:53.840 --> 00:43:54.320
I am.

922
00:43:54.559 --> 00:43:56.320
I think I think I've said this on the show before,

923
00:43:56.400 --> 00:44:01.239
but several years ago ended up sitting near Alice.

924
00:44:00.920 --> 00:44:03.119
Cooper in yeah, Phoenix Airport.

925
00:44:03.239 --> 00:44:08.599
Yeah, I wasn't Alice Cooper. I think Alex Cooper's around

926
00:44:08.719 --> 00:44:11.360
in Vegas. But again, like Vegas, I don't rec count either.

927
00:44:11.400 --> 00:44:14.639
I like one of the Olympias. I think I saw him.

928
00:44:15.079 --> 00:44:18.480
My dad had crazy stories like my dad. Uh, I

929
00:44:18.480 --> 00:44:20.719
think he was. He was like uh because like in

930
00:44:20.719 --> 00:44:23.159
the eighties, he made pretty good money versus what was

931
00:44:23.199 --> 00:44:25.920
going on, so we'd fly before we were born. Of course,

932
00:44:25.960 --> 00:44:27.920
he would fly first class to my mom, and first

933
00:44:27.920 --> 00:44:30.320
class wasn't like exactly you know now it's ten times

934
00:44:30.320 --> 00:44:32.400
as much. And I was like double uh. And he

935
00:44:32.480 --> 00:44:35.000
was like sitting next to Jordan Oh really like shit

936
00:44:35.119 --> 00:44:37.840
like that. And then like my dad even recently, not recently,

937
00:44:37.880 --> 00:44:40.239
but you know, when I was alive, was in LA

938
00:44:40.360 --> 00:44:42.159
on a work trip and like he's like, yeah, I

939
00:44:42.159 --> 00:44:44.159
saw Magic Johnson. My dad wasn't one to like tell

940
00:44:44.239 --> 00:44:46.079
stories or jokes or anything either. He's like, yeah, I

941
00:44:46.119 --> 00:44:48.440
saw Magic Johnson the gas station, Like I had him

942
00:44:48.480 --> 00:44:52.280
sign a napkin. Fuck's going on? Like, I see nobody

943
00:44:52.280 --> 00:44:54.800
I'm in LA every other week. For the last ten years,

944
00:44:54.840 --> 00:44:56.119
I've ever seen nobody famous.

945
00:44:58.519 --> 00:45:01.519
I have seen a few celebrities in LA, but not

946
00:45:01.519 --> 00:45:03.719
not like top tier people.

947
00:45:04.320 --> 00:45:07.519
Yeah, they were like, you know, it's be sea level.

948
00:45:07.719 --> 00:45:09.440
That's so fun. At the time, it is still just

949
00:45:09.480 --> 00:45:11.599
fun to see. Like all the celebrities I've seen or

950
00:45:11.599 --> 00:45:13.920
like shook hands with, were like at events where they're

951
00:45:13.920 --> 00:45:16.119
supposed to be, you know, like the Celebrity Golf tournament.

952
00:45:16.199 --> 00:45:18.840
Like I fucking talked to Ray Romano and Cheat and

953
00:45:18.880 --> 00:45:20.679
Chong or whatever. You know, that's not that cool.

954
00:45:22.599 --> 00:45:24.039
Cheat and Chong contact high.

955
00:45:24.199 --> 00:45:26.840
I don't know how they were goodbted to the Tahoe

956
00:45:26.880 --> 00:45:32.239
like prestigious celebrity golf tournament in twenty fifteen. You know, like,

957
00:45:32.239 --> 00:45:34.320
what the fuck are Cheach and Chong dyllin? They're just

958
00:45:34.320 --> 00:45:36.559
selling pot I get their pot ads all the time

959
00:45:36.599 --> 00:45:38.840
on like my Twitter CBD.

960
00:45:39.079 --> 00:45:41.960
Yeah it's the CBD. Uh.

961
00:45:42.000 --> 00:45:45.559
Well, you know, let's let's bring this to a close.

962
00:45:45.880 --> 00:45:49.519
One thing, I actually was looking at Reddit. We were

963
00:45:49.559 --> 00:45:53.320
talking about silly powerlifting rules. I was thinking about maybe

964
00:45:53.320 --> 00:45:55.440
the top three, but honestly, let's just go with our

965
00:45:55.519 --> 00:46:06.079
individual like stupidest powerlifting rule from competition What what would

966
00:46:06.079 --> 00:46:08.320
work for you as the as your top.

967
00:46:11.559 --> 00:46:12.559
One more time? Sorry?

968
00:46:13.400 --> 00:46:19.360
Uh, your stupidest your choice for stupidest powerlifting rule competition rule.

969
00:46:20.440 --> 00:46:25.360
I mean the easy one is like elbow depth, right, yeah,

970
00:46:26.159 --> 00:46:29.199
it's really dumb. That's got to be the easiest one

971
00:46:29.920 --> 00:46:31.880
because then like, yeah, we're going into a range of

972
00:46:31.920 --> 00:46:34.239
motion on the deadlift. Obviously, I feel like if you

973
00:46:34.320 --> 00:46:37.800
do that one, then we have to like eliminate sumo. Yeah, right,

974
00:46:37.960 --> 00:46:42.079
because if we're a range of motion arguers, right, But

975
00:46:42.119 --> 00:46:44.239
then all of it is just dumb in general because

976
00:46:44.280 --> 00:46:47.320
it's all based on biomechanics and someone with short femurs

977
00:46:47.320 --> 00:46:50.440
has a natural advantage. But again, that's sport, right, Like,

978
00:46:50.480 --> 00:46:52.760
we're not gonna I know they have them recreationally, but

979
00:46:52.760 --> 00:46:54.760
we're not gonna make a basketball league with six foot

980
00:46:54.760 --> 00:46:57.719
and under. Although that is a recreational thing, we're not

981
00:46:57.719 --> 00:46:59.800
gonna You want the best to be the fucking best, right,

982
00:47:00.119 --> 00:47:02.519
So if they got a fucking giant rib cage, Like

983
00:47:02.840 --> 00:47:06.480
we've covered elbow depth forever, but you know, if you're fat,

984
00:47:06.920 --> 00:47:09.519
if you've got a huge belly and huge packs and

985
00:47:09.559 --> 00:47:14.360
stubby arms, you impossible to hit elbow depth. Yeah, so

986
00:47:14.480 --> 00:47:15.679
I think that's probably number one.

987
00:47:16.880 --> 00:47:19.239
What number one for me has to be any rule

988
00:47:20.440 --> 00:47:21.639
regarding underwear.

989
00:47:22.360 --> 00:47:24.920
Yeah, that's pretty bad. That's pretty bad as well. That

990
00:47:25.000 --> 00:47:27.280
is pretty bad. I mean, unless they're worried about our

991
00:47:27.280 --> 00:47:30.079
microplastics and that's why they want white cotton underwear and

992
00:47:30.159 --> 00:47:32.920
which case, thank you guys for protecting our nuts.

993
00:47:34.119 --> 00:47:37.679
Yeah, our fertilities at steak and cares about our nuts

994
00:47:38.000 --> 00:47:38.639
our brains.

995
00:47:38.679 --> 00:47:39.960
I heard the other day that.

996
00:47:41.599 --> 00:47:44.920
Half a percent of our of our human brains at

997
00:47:44.920 --> 00:47:46.760
this point is microplastics.

998
00:47:46.840 --> 00:47:50.840
I'm sure if you get much more than half a percent,

999
00:47:50.960 --> 00:47:52.679
you start losing IQ points.

1000
00:47:52.719 --> 00:47:56.159
I'm sure. Yeah, I'm sure. I mean, and I am

1001
00:47:56.239 --> 00:47:58.679
for all that, like I'm for like wearing cotton clothing

1002
00:47:58.719 --> 00:48:02.079
and shit like, but but it's also one of those

1003
00:48:02.079 --> 00:48:04.400
things where like you know, they say cancers everywhere, like

1004
00:48:04.920 --> 00:48:06.599
try to avoid it, you know, like it is true,

1005
00:48:06.639 --> 00:48:09.400
Like what am I Your car seats fucking plastic? Like

1006
00:48:09.440 --> 00:48:13.480
everything's plastic. You're gonna be stuck. We're going to number two.

1007
00:48:13.480 --> 00:48:14.960
You got on the bus, you got a dumbass rule.

1008
00:48:15.679 --> 00:48:16.519
I think the cursing.

1009
00:48:17.280 --> 00:48:18.320
Cursing can get a little weird.

1010
00:48:18.400 --> 00:48:20.400
Yeah, but I mean there are kids that go to

1011
00:48:20.480 --> 00:48:23.039
sure meets. But still, yeah, you're from our generation where

1012
00:48:23.039 --> 00:48:25.960
where Jim and I count from you fucking you're you're

1013
00:48:26.000 --> 00:48:27.079
screaming fuck as.

1014
00:48:26.920 --> 00:48:29.119
You get under the bar, no one cares. Yeah, I

1015
00:48:29.760 --> 00:48:32.800
kind of agree, you know, like there should probably be

1016
00:48:33.199 --> 00:48:35.719
more of a I don't want to say a spectrum

1017
00:48:35.719 --> 00:48:37.559
of a rule because rules do have to be black

1018
00:48:37.559 --> 00:48:39.440
and white, but there has to be like a judgment call.

1019
00:48:39.840 --> 00:48:42.000
And you're right, I think in the USAPL it's any

1020
00:48:42.039 --> 00:48:45.400
cursing on the platforms technically a violation, where it should

1021
00:48:45.400 --> 00:48:47.800
be more like a technical foul in basketball, like if

1022
00:48:47.840 --> 00:48:50.880
you're cursing at someone, you know, like intent should kind

1023
00:48:50.880 --> 00:48:53.639
of matter in those cases, or like it maybe not intent,

1024
00:48:53.719 --> 00:48:56.679
but like situational where the judge should make a call

1025
00:48:56.719 --> 00:48:59.280
based on how you're saying it, which so a dots

1026
00:48:59.320 --> 00:49:02.920
deduction and not a red light. Yeah light because they

1027
00:49:03.000 --> 00:49:05.480
mostly give warnings right for the first one, Yeah, yeah,

1028
00:49:05.519 --> 00:49:08.400
they'll take away a light. Yeah. I think some of

1029
00:49:08.400 --> 00:49:12.199
those rules are a little uh too vibe, where yeah,

1030
00:49:12.400 --> 00:49:14.079
it should depend on what you're doing. If you're cursing

1031
00:49:14.079 --> 00:49:16.079
at someone, you're like if you're so excited and you

1032
00:49:16.159 --> 00:49:17.880
let how to fuck yeah, you know, like let them

1033
00:49:17.920 --> 00:49:20.800
have some fun. It is, like I do understand. Again, Yeah,

1034
00:49:20.800 --> 00:49:22.239
there's kids in the crowds, but there's kids in the

1035
00:49:22.280 --> 00:49:25.440
crowd fucking everywhere, and cursing isn't illegal, you know, like right,

1036
00:49:25.679 --> 00:49:27.920
and that poor kid, they're gonna complain and then their

1037
00:49:27.920 --> 00:49:29.760
mom's gonna let them go home and they're they're watching

1038
00:49:29.840 --> 00:49:32.599
radar movies, you know, so like like you're like, don't

1039
00:49:32.599 --> 00:49:35.119
bring your kid, you know, right, do the little earmus

1040
00:49:35.239 --> 00:49:38.280
and again within reason. If you're screaming fuck a thousand

1041
00:49:38.280 --> 00:49:40.199
times and you're being a dickhead, yeah, give them a

1042
00:49:40.280 --> 00:49:42.599
red light. That's not a bad one, not a bad one,

1043
00:49:42.639 --> 00:49:45.480
because that's what that is mostly usapl Yeah, talking about

1044
00:49:45.519 --> 00:49:48.880
the Tested boys being soft, yeah for sure.

1045
00:49:49.639 --> 00:49:52.000
All right, that's all I got for this time, ladies.

1046
00:49:52.039 --> 00:49:57.159
Genlemal We got CT Fletcher Magnificent Obsession coming up, and

1047
00:49:57.199 --> 00:49:59.119
then I think we're gonna do Generation Iron, the very

1048
00:49:59.119 --> 00:50:01.159
first movie with Dean and the boys. So if you

1049
00:50:01.199 --> 00:50:04.039
want to catch up and watch the movies before, well

1050
00:50:04.039 --> 00:50:05.800
you listen to what we're going to review as much

1051
00:50:05.840 --> 00:50:09.360
fitness as possible. They did just drop non fitness, but

1052
00:50:09.679 --> 00:50:16.760
uh gold something the Olympic basketball from this summer documentary.

1053
00:50:16.760 --> 00:50:18.880
They filmed the whole thing, and I heard just the

1054
00:50:18.920 --> 00:50:21.159
interviews with like Curry and them are really good. So

1055
00:50:21.159 --> 00:50:24.159
that's a potential down the road. And then there was

1056
00:50:24.199 --> 00:50:26.039
one more sea bombs obviously coming.

1057
00:50:26.400 --> 00:50:29.119

1065
00:50:55.000 --> 00:50:57.400
Like secretly, Making Good is a babe, but she's like

1066
00:50:58.119 --> 00:51:01.320
not been in any movies or shows probably in twenty years. Je.

1067
00:51:02.199 --> 00:51:05.079
Yeah, shoot yeah, Michael Hearn is in this movie too.

Oh that's fire. Yeah we should do that. Oh that

1071
00:51:09.159 --> 00:51:11.079
was the one that they filmed. It didn't release right

1072
00:51:11.119 --> 00:51:12.119
from like twenty.

1073
00:51:11.840 --> 00:51:14.719
It went like twenty twenty one, twenty two, twenty.

1074
00:51:14.840 --> 00:51:16.880
