This is where we stall.
Did you do your finger?
We'll get into it. You can talk about that.
We'll get into it.
All right, ladies and gentlemen,
welcome to this week's episode of the Massanomics Podcast.
I'm Tyler, co-host Tommy.
Oh, co-host.
You like that?
Yeah, I do like that.
Also co-host Tanner. Oh, me too. Two co-hosts tommy oh co-host oh yeah yeah i do like that also co-host oh we have titles now it's not just these are the guys that are sitting at the table with me now i'm going to be honest from
looking at what i see on the screen you probably cannot even tell at all which sucks because this
was a lot of work i will think i think the lighting is much better, but we are in a totally new studio space.
We rented it out for thousands of dollars a month.
Literally thousands of dollars a month.
Now that the sponsorship money is coming in,
we had to figure out a way.
My son now is living in my former master bedroom,
and my daughter is now in his bedroom,
and I now live in the basement.
Oh, I thought you were going to say out in the alley, out back.
That's coming.
Once my wife kicks me out, that's coming.
Yeah, so this is a new studio.
We're just killing it, sneezing really hard right about now.
Psych.
What was that?
Look at that.
I fought it off.
It's very rude to sneeze on the air.
But, yeah, so I just got back from a week in St. Louis, Missouri.
Apparently the violent crime capital of the Midwest.
Is it because Nelly and the St. Lunatics run wild there?
Honestly, I'm pretty sure.
Did you go to the Arch?
I actually did not.
Oh.
Have you been to the Arch?
No, no.
I have been to the Arch.
There's one thing I like less than almost anything in the world,
that is stairs.
And I don't think there's an...
Is there an escalator?
See, when I say I went to the Arch, I went and stood under it.
Do you walk up the...
There's an elevator that goes up it, I know.
It goes up it?
Yeah.
I thought it was a stairs thing.
No, the way they explained it to me is there's some fancy elevator
that manages to handle the curve.
But how do you handle the curve?
I don't know.
See, I just stayed on the ground.
I was kind of in a hurry.
It is kind of cool from the ground, though.
It's like, oh, this is big.
Yeah.
So we're hoping this new studio looks really professional.
Really are.
Otherwise, we wasted a whole lot of effort.
And I'm sure people that aren't watching and just listen notice the acoustic upgrade we've gone through yeah it's a real deal now we have 60 mile an hour winds outside
the window because we're on the second floor instead of the basement this is the first time
we've podcasted in uh a couple years that it hasn't been a blizzard though it is like it yeah
it's actually nice outside it is so um anyway i got back and i'm trying to get all caught up because i was busy but uh i get
back and uh our boy chris weist um unleashed the weist on instagram had a tremendous meet yes green
plates and all baby that's rps that is our thing right yeah like dude it's and it's green hundos
yeah they use the green hundreds and it has to be green for their meats, doesn't it?
Is that a rule?
I don't know if it's a rule or if it's just like they're all like,
hell yeah, we're doing that.
I don't know.
Because there's a lot of them doing it, it seems like.
Yeah, and that federation, RPS, or I think it's Revolution Powerlifting,
whatever, RPF, maybe it's federation, I can't remember.
But they are a Northeast northeast popular in the northeast yep
and they i know their thing is like there is no uh membership dues ah that's kind of cool yeah
so that's kind of their thing they're like no there's no reason for that there is no membership
dues so that's kind of an interesting take on that you just have to buy our green plates oh yeah
i'm curious i don't know i wonder how that works i don't know if
they're like they require do you have a certain kind of plate that you paint green you know a
certain it has to be a york hundred or yeah like who has the green swatch that they're getting here
i don't know yeah that is a very specific yeah i'm not seeing like dark green and lime green
no but do they they do lift in pound plates though in that in that FedLen, too. It's about fucking time. That has to be one of the only ones that does that, isn't it?
I can't think.
I mean, other lesser known ones.
Maybe some multi-ply meats.
Well, I will say, then, that they are, hands down,
the most American of all the federations.
I think that's kind of maybe their...
Undebatable.
Yeah, that's kind of their thing, like being pretty...
Are you tired of pretending like you know about math?
And looking like you don't lift as much as you actually do well here use these plates there they look huge we use bumpers so we don't have to
so uh but anyway our boy chris weiss what what type of meat did he put together here
so squat he uh on a second attempt he got a pretty easy looking 725 and then on his second attempt, he got a pretty easy-looking 725. And then on his third, he did 750, and that looked like it was pretty easy,
but he apparently got called on depth.
And I don't know, if you watch the two side-by-side,
they don't look any different to me.
If I squatted that much weight, I mean, I would complain about that call.
It would be different if I was just like, if it wasn't, I don't know, just me,
I'd be like, i but i did it
and it was so close the worst part of it is he moved it pretty easy yeah he looked like he could
have done more than that still too um that's where you're like all right we'll just give it to you
because we knew you could get it we knew you could have got it yeah it's pretty easy and it was
borderline so then bench i think he he did a little less than he was hoping i think he ended
up with 440 and he's probably hoping for more like 475.
And then deadlift, he's kind of a deadlift.
That's his jam.
Yeah, he likes the deadlift.
I don't know what his opener was.
His second attempt, I think, was 880.
And then his third attempt, he had told me before the meet
that his goal number one was 900 pounds.
And if he knew that that was going to be easy after a second,
he was going to jump to like 915 to 920.
So apparently that second attempt went really well.
And I remember you talking and saying he's going for 900.
Yeah.
And I was thinking like in my head, okay, he's going to hit like 904, 905,
whatever the meet was.
But, yeah, I thought it was interesting.
You know, the most he's ever done in competition before, I don't know,
maybe it's like 850.
You know, it's much less than 915.
So he was taking a pretty big gamble, you know, like going for, because 900 would be a big deal.
Just 900 even.
Yeah.
To skip right over that and go another 15 pounds heavier.
And it looked like a pretty clean deadlift to me.
Yeah.
That was a good lift.
For sure.
And they gave him a fourth attempt at 940.
I don't know how that went.
How it went.
Yeah.
But judging by his 915, it's not out of the realm to believe that 940 could be within reach for him.
So this is, he's in a really exclusive elite, in a really elite group of people now with an over 910 pound conventional
deadlift like there's i don't know is there is there 20 guys that have done that ever
no like in a powerlifting competition no no no i don't think so i don't i don't i don't really
know who i i i mean it's the it's more than fors Warrior, a very well-known deadlifter at this point, has pulled.
And he was in the 308?
Yeah, so he broke.
Chris now has the 308.
He's in the 308 weight class.
He has the record now for that weight class, not Steve Johnson.
So it's pretty impressive so is someone sending him
a giant oversized check to commemorate how does that work yeah yeah the bank sends it don't they
and it sounds like the someone out there will correct me if i'm wrong on this but i think
so that was the american record for the 308 weight class. I believe the American record across any weight class is Kaler Wollum at 927.
I don't think there's any American that's pulled more than that in competition.
Because Vince Urbank is like 908.
Steve Johnson's like 909.
And there's not that many Americans that have pulled over nine.
Yeah, like George Lehman.
Yeah.
But even that
like that was a deadlift only me yeah i mean not to take anything away from the lift but i would
think a full power is a little tougher after squatting 750 and you know benching 450 pounds
or whatever it was i'm trying to find the data here with open power lifting i think they're not
supported on iphones though are they or that's what they always say so i don't know how that
how was i doing it before i was just using my web browser yeah on your computer it's the it's not on mo yeah god
damn it i love them so much i'm not even gonna complain about it but but i they do always say
that they're uh that's something that they're working on and i'm sure it's a i'm sure it's
i'm sure they know that people want that one of those giant oversized checks so they can make it happen yeah i'm sure it's a real simple seamless process
has uh but that that'll be a good thing for them them getting that on the iphone because there's
a lot of times when i would like to just pop that up on my phone and even if it was an app i would
download that oh yeah and have that and the nice thing about developing your own app is that it basically is expensive and takes forever.
And you don't get any money for it.
You don't get paid any money for it.
And even if you charge for it, then cheap asses like me are like,
I'm not getting a dollar or two.
A dollar or two?
Under no circumstances.
He said, screw this.
I'm going to the liquor store.
Are you going to pick up some beer?
Yeah.
So him going for $9.4038 I think is maybe the world record.
Is that KK or is that?
KK, I think.
Oh, that one.
Okay.
It's not the world record, I guess, in 308
because the world record deadlift of anyone in a powerlifting meet would be benny magnuson
is that like 1005 yeah i think what was the one this is gonna i can't keep him straight anymore
what did yuri belkin have that crazy sumo deadlift it was a few months ago wasn't he like in the mid
to high nines and so maybe he broke that then too i'm not sure but i i thought that maybe that was the significance of him pulling 940 is that it was some sort of world but that
see that would still be a 308 maybe it would still just be the 308 world record because
yuri was in uh that meet he's usually 220 that media lifted 242 so that uh it was probably a 308 world record that he was attempting at 940 pounds.
Yeah.
And for people that maybe don't follow every single episode we do,
I can't imagine who that would be.
But why don't you explain Chris's situation,
how you found this guy, who he is, a little bit about him.
Yeah, he lives out in Pennsylvania, and he is a little bit about him yeah he uh lives out in Pennsylvania and he is young Chris is I think
22 now or 22 or 23 uh I think 22 but he we started following him I was like wow this guy is really
really strong and I remember you bringing that up one day like I found this guy like he's insanely
strong and like people don't know who he is,
which isn't that uncommon nowadays.
But he was also showing some crazy potential.
Right.
So we started talking to him, and obviously, I mean, no secret here,
we've been sending him shirts and massonomic stuff.
And a really cool part for the meet, heonomics one of our massonomic singlets which that that was cool seeing someone deadlift a not just talking like uh one of us doing a good cool
lift in that but we're talking a guy lifting an american record uh maybe attempting a world record
and he's wearing a massonomic singlet and if someone feels inspired they are available on
the website if you'd like to buy one. Yep. They are customized with your name.
Yeah, they all will have your name on the back, whatever you want.
But they do take a while.
So if you are wanting one, think about giving it a seven-week order about seven weeks before you need it.
Because each one is a special order made with care just for you.
That's right.
It takes a little time.
I sew it.
Yeah.
Tyler's sewing away.
And now we know those threads can hold up to a 915-pound deadlift. I did like Ryan's right. It takes a little time. I sew it. Yeah. Tyler is sewing away. And now we know those threads can hold up to a 915-pound deadlift.
I did like Ryan's comment.
For the rest of you and your mediocre deadlifts,
I don't have much to worry about.
Ryan's comment, is this the world record for the most ever deadlifted
in a massadomic singlet?
Yes.
I think it narrowly just edges out whatever might have been the record before.
It's a narrow pizza by 300 pounds.
Yeah, not to say there hasn't been some big pulls.
Someone's probably pulled 700 in one before, haven't they?
Or maybe I'm just thinking of lift shirts.
The lift shirts have been exposed to that.
For sure.
That may be the heaviest deadlift while a piece of Massanomics apparel has been worn, though.
I would venture to say that it is.
I don't know that a piece of Massanomics apparel has ever touched that much weight.
Has Larry, or has Larry, has freaking, you suppose Ray Williams done any squatting in his lift shirt?
I haven't seen that.
He may have been.
I would assume he probably has at some point.
Or Rob.
I don't know how much quads like Rob has been squatting in it,
but he doesn't go over 9 all that often.
So it probably wouldn't.
Just call him out.
Listen, Rob.
Rob doesn't squat over 900 near enough.
He's a fairly conservative lift At least not in that shirt.
He has been wearing the lift hat quite a bit, though, when he's been squatting.
Well, because we don't actually pay people.
We don't have any money.
We just try to be really nice.
We just hope they wear it because they think the shirts and hats are cool.
Yeah, I guess the big takeaway would be if you don't follow Chris Weiss,
is it at unleash the Weiss? There's an underscore in there.
I think there is an underscore, but yeah, if you don't follow him,
you really should be because that guy is really one of the few people that's
just popped out of nowhere to break a record.
And that is age.
And to be honest, I mean, I'm not him.
I can't say exactly what his training
was like for the last year but i know he's a pretty avid uh archery hunter and i think he
spent quite a few months like not lifting not lifting like within the last 12 months
quite a few months not lifting and then even a transition getting back to lifting where he's doing more just what I call it a bro session or chasing.
Yeah, yeah.
But even more just like arms and, you know, fun stuff like that.
So, I mean, if he just like keeps at intense training for a year, it would be interesting to see what he could get that to.
Yeah.
it would be interesting to see what he could get that to yeah and it also seems like a lot of these guys like once they get in that territory it just seems like somehow they get a deal in the works
where they're kind of not working a full-time job and they kind of just focus on their training
yeah and he's working on the railroad which we've kind of found through experience at the gym here
that people are working on the railroad just seems to add a lot of pounds to your total, I think, just having that to your title.
Yeah.
For some reason.
Yeah.
Like the strongest people we have that just like are crazy strong
for basically no reason are the guys we have that work for the railroad.
Yeah.
Like fucking Tyler.
Yeah.
Like just – and he hasn't been – is he still out in Minnesota now?
Yeah, he's somewhere
but but ventures he's still he's still he's still just as like just squats
fucking like tons of weight like it's nothing big bench big like yeah like just
he was like easy literally on a life linear periodization program yeah it's just like
continually higher keep this going every week
forever yeah and it is unleash underscore the underscore we w e i s t is his last name because
the i comes before e except after w except except for when there's like the other there's like 15
except except for all the exceptions yeah because that's like 50 50 does that rule. Except for all the exceptions. It's the worst fucking rule. Yeah. Because that's like 50-50. Does the high come before the E?
Usually just guess.
You'll be wrong.
Someone on the internet will tell you.
Yeah.
His best deadlift before this was 880 pounds that he did a few weeks ago wearing a huge
life shirt.
So a modest 35 pounds.
So he totaled 2,080.
If he would have got that squat white lights, he would have been another, he would have
been 2, he would have been 2105.
So he's like also, you know, huge deadlift, of course,
but total was looking at over a 2100 pound total already.
Yeah.
And it looks like he's probably got room to go on a squat.
And I would assume he could push his bench.
By the nature of it, his bench is only going to go up two
because when you're, what did you say, 22?
Yeah.
That shit hurts my fucking feet.
Why wouldn't it go up when you're what'd you say 22 yeah that shit hurts why wouldn't it go up when
you're 22 you know right so when you're 22 your bench can still go up like 100 pounds in a year
so it's it's really cool to see him wearing uh wearing our stuff doing that doing that
yeah bro the weest has been unleashed yeah he finally he finally unleashed it but i i do see his uh even over the last day since he's done that his following has grown a little
bit here so people people might be might be might be noticing that 915 pound deadlift i told him
he's got to beat uh larry wheels to 900 in competition and he did that larry's gonna have
some work to do to beat 915 that's like
at all like that's not i mean larry's biggest freak in the world larry wheels of course here but
that's not easily done in training wasn't like fucking snappy no that's not after
squatting and benching yeah no just because chris like he's i'm sure he's a big guy like he's
probably taller than most lifters i would assume he's probably in that six one i think he's, I'm sure he's a big guy. Like he's probably taller than most lifters. I would assume he's probably in that six, one, six, two, maybe.
Um, how much does he weigh?
Actually he weighed in for this at two 90, which I think two 92 and that's the heaviest
he's ever been.
I, you know, he got heavier and still fill that out.
Yeah.
Quite a bit.
Yeah.
And he doesn't, he's not one of the guys lifting as a three Oh eight that walks.
No three 40.
Right.
Right.
And I think he did no cut.
Like he literally like that was probably
the heaviest he was is when he went and got on the scale so yeah he's got he's got room to grow
there still yeah that's awesome yeah that's it's pretty crazy so we've had a real rash of injuries
going on lately here i don't know if you guys have noticed uh what we got going on on tommy's
finger here right now tommy do you want to tell us what happened?
It looks like we have some sort of, for a graphic designer, something pretty tragic.
I'll tell you what.
When your left middle finger has a splint on it and your job revolves around using a computer keyboard all day, every day,
it's one of the most annoying things that could ever happen to you.
But, yeah, the medical condition I have would be called mallet finger,
which is when the, I'm going to mess up, tendon or ligament, the, uh, medical condition I have would be called mallet finger, which
is when the, uh, I'm going to mess up tendon or ligament.
I think tendon that runs down your finger, um, to the very tip of my finger on that last
joint, just like basically tore.
Um, and so I, I jammed it and right away I'm like, oh, this is painful.
And my finger was drooping straight down.
Like it was something wrong with it. So I'm just thinking, oh, it's painful. And my finger was drooping straight down like it was something wrong with it.
So I'm just thinking, oh, it's going to be awesome.
I'm just going to pull.
It's dislocated.
I'm going to pull it, and it's going to pop back in.
And I can finally say, like, I did that.
Yeah.
And I'm pulling on my finger.
I'm like, it just keeps drooping.
What's going on here?
And, yeah, that's because it was a tendon thing.
How'd you jam it?
Was this a weightlifting injury? No, literally just jammed. It caught in my shirt. My it was a tendon thing. How'd you jam it? Was this a weightlifting injury?
No, literally just jammed.
It caught in my shirt.
My hand was in my shirt, and I straightened it out, and it just popped.
As crazy as that sounds.
All your strength training.
I thought that sounded completely unbelievable until I looked it up online,
and it says people commonly have this injury happen tucking in bed sheets.
Really?
Which I thought was insane.
So I'm telling my mom about this, and she said, oh said oh yeah the same thing happened to your dad like two years ago
he was what he did though genetic yeah he was like cleaning something and dragging his hand
across it and while he's dragging his hand across it his finger jammed on whatever i'm now gonna be
nervous doing everything ever again well it's like after all the shit you put your hands through, and they do,
and then it literally a piece of fabric jams up your finger.
So what's your finger like now if you take that thing off?
Actually now, because it's been a couple weeks.
In like a day or two, it's been two weeks already.
So now when I take it off, it'll stay almost straight,
but I still can't completely extend it straight.
It's just, it's not quite there, but about another two weeks, I should be back to the high life.
So how does that affect your lifting?
Oh, just don't plan on hanging on to anything.
So like your middle finger.
Put your middle finger in the air and try and make, see how hard of a fist you can make. Yeah, just try to make a fist with your middle finger in the air and try and make see how hard
of a fist you can make yeah just try to make a fist with your middle finger in the air and you
realize that like your grip just sucks when it's one when your grip is your index finger and your
thumb it's just garbage there's nothing and it's like well i have these other two fingers but by
the time those get in like it just it doesn't work and so i'll deadlift with the figure eight straps
and all that does is it just you still i gotta curl this figure and i can't do it and it just
pulls it down and then all of a sudden this starts sliding out and if i start bending it then i'm just
messing the whole thing up again so that sucks squatting i usually have a pretty low bar where
my wrists are in there pretty tight and i can't make a tight fist on it because this hand won't come down.
So now I have like this loose, gimpy wrist.
And so I feel like it's messing up my squat.
Bench doesn't feel good.
Bench is probably the easiest one to do, but it still doesn't feel good because I don't have a firm grip on the bar.
Like I'm just kind of two finger in it.
And then on top of that, anything said yeah any like rdl or just
anything like a pull down of any kind any type of pulling motion is just like out the window so it's
so you've obviously just been replacing all that stuff with cardio yeah so i started running five
miles a day and it's going really good getting great results i've been getting weaker and fatter and uh more boring
to talk to yeah my personality is just taking a total tank now now all you can do is like you go
up to people now you just instead of talking about lifting and you gotta talk about how much your
finger injury has hampered your lifting yeah or it's like oh my god what'd you do to your finger
it's like well i just i jammed it oh okay do to your finger? It's like, well, I just jammed it. Oh, okay. And then they don't even want to hear it.
They're like, motherfucker, went to the hospital?
Actually, I didn't have to.
Did I have a ring in my ears or a ghost in here?
Oh, man, being upstairs, there's doorbells.
Oh, you have one of those, huh?
Look at that, guys.
Coming up in the world.
Whoa.
Motherfucker.
Aggressive doorbells.
Who has a doorbell like that?
We got a rapid-fire machine gun doorbell. Is it we got we got a rapid fire machine gun
doorbell is it a guest for the podcast is that what it is i don't know let's uh let's pull them
up on camera here is did larry get tired of calling in so now he's just visiting he's like
ah everyone everyone wanted me back on what's going on here front door oh we're going live on the front door here uh oh it's those damn
they've entered my house you guys it's those damn kids leaving those damn kids they're coming here
to poop again they're coming here to play my xbox they're putting flaming poop on the doorstep. I fucking knew it. I got hurt this week.
Did you?
Yeah.
Like, physically or mentally?
Well, listen, I spent the week with Julian Pineau.
I am very much so mentally hurt and fragile at this point.
But we were dinking around after, like, a day of the coach's week,
like on Tuesday, and we're just screwing around doing some, like,
light yoke carries. It was, like on Tuesday, and we're just screwing around doing some like light yoke carries.
It was like 500 pounds.
We're just going down, going to do some sandbag carries back
just to kind of play, talk a little shit, see who's going faster,
you know, whatever.
Like my third or fourth run, I just pick it up, take one step,
and I felt this just like intense pop in my lower leg and i thought that literally
that someone like threw a fucking rock or something at my leg or that you know you've been shot this
is the most white trash question you ever asked you ever been shot with a bb gun like shot with
a bb gun like that's what it feels like and everyone for some reason everyone i know has
been shot yeah i don't know why. Remember?
That is like a really white trash.
It's a Midwest thing.
A BB gun in the first place.
But anyway, I felt like I got shot with a BB gun in the back of the leg.
And I heard that pop.
And I stopped for a moment and went, well, I know what that sound normally correlates to, which is like a torn Achilles.
And I'm like, motherfucker. know what that sound normally correlates to which is like a torn achilles that's what yeah and i'm
like mother fucker like i don't need 12 to 18 months of recovery i am not that i'm not kobe
ryan was never the same yeah and i am not and you don't have the mama mentality no no no no that's
the one thing i do not have is the mama mentality i will quit so fast i'll be fat as fuck. I'll never lift again. And so 18 months off, no chance.
So I was like pretty worried.
And then I, upon further investigation, I don't believe it was my Achilles.
I think it was my calf.
And then I had a, there was some people around there.
And then I kind of did some looking and some asking.
And basically I got a partial tear in my calf.
But that pop usually indicates you're at about a grade 3,
where it's going to take a while.
But muscle being better than tendon.
Yeah, so it is what it is,
but that motherfucker swelled up like a goddamn hot dog in the microwave.
I thought my calf was going to split open.
And so I wore my props to the Spud Inc.
elbow straps with the hooks.
Oh, and you just sling that on there?
Elbow sleeves.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So I just, after, well, the first night.
Oh, you put that on your calf. I kind of wanted to let the swelling do what the swelling does.
It kind of moves blood.
But the next morning I woke up and my leg was fucking huge and so i pulled those sleeves on two of them you know kind of stacked them overlapped them and then
and oh my god did that make a huge difference except for then when i took them off after like 45 minutes, my foot, and I'm not joking, was a full inch
wider all the way around where the compression was. So it was like, actually, if you measured
the diameter, my, my ankle was two inches wider than my lower calf because all of the blood had
moved to my foot. And then I had to like gangster wrap my socks to try to move that blood out.
Cause the lady I was talking to, she's like, yeah,
at that spot with that amount of swelling,
like you're at pretty high risk of like compartment syndrome.
Like you need to get that shit to it and through it and out.
So I'm like,
fuck.
So it was just managing like intense swelling for two days,
but it got around.
Like I can walk,
but it's not awesome anymore.
And it's definitely going to be a while before I'm lifting anything heavy off
the floor.
How are you going to do that marathon next weekend?
Yeah,
man,
you must feel stupid after all these,
all these promises I made,
all these years of running that sticker you put on the back of your car for
the run.
26.2.
You put it.
It was a preemptive sticker.
I never thought it'd blow up in my face like this,
but,
uh,
but yeah,
so it's kind of, I don't't know it's probably a blessing in disguise
that i was getting a little bit tired of the like of not tired but like of constant of how i was
eating a lot trying to gain weight for a little while another you know it was like a month month
and a half of that and it was getting exhausting and lifting i was lifting pretty heavy and it was
going well but like i was starting to feel pretty drugged down and tired of eating.
So I'll kind of take it as a blessing in disguise where I can just kind of train intuitively and not force feed myself for a few weeks until I feel all right.
Yeah.
Have fun with it.
Yeah.
It'll be a jam when I come back.
But I definitely will not be as strong, which sucks.
But honestly, it's not very major. it could be a hell of a lot worse yeah
but still it's a yoke that i like play with i've actually done overhead yoke carries almost that
heavy yeah also the blessing the real blessing here tyler is you can start a comeback story now
hashtag you can't have a comeback without a that's true without a setback yeah yeah start
everything now with like hashtag can't have comeback without setback hashtag comeback pr
you can do that too tommy i can yeah i never even thought of that okay you get to where you
you you're repping out 185 on the bench it can be a comeback pr now you go to 205 and you can
celebrate all those little wins.
I also now have an excuse for having every other word in anything I type misspelled
because my finger just won't work with me.
Terrible spelling everywhere.
If you send a bad proof to a customer, you can be like, ah, that's the finger.
And I'm sure they're like, oh, that's okay.
We don't care.
We got another doorbell.
What's going on here? It's the finger. And I'm sure they're like, oh, that's okay. We don't care. We got another doorbell. What's going on here?
It's the cops this time.
What do we got? Is that a SWAT team?
And a bike.
What the hell?
It has no share.
That's wrong.
Oh, that's true.
Trinity, Trinity.
They're talking about your house. Jesus, I don't know. I don't give a shit. we probably uh have better working uh connections up here now that we're i would think my wi-fi is working except for okay i do have open power lifting up now oh yeah check that uh all right
what are we looking at? Just deadlift.
Just go all classes first and just see where it fits in. We're going raw with wraps.
I think if you, can you do all?
I don't know if I can do that.
Raw with wraps.
I'm all classes, all feds.
I've got to go male.
And then we are going to sort by deadlift.
and then we just sort by the deadlift lift did you want the biggest first or the smallest first so benedict does have that
okay yuri's was 970 970 wow okay so kaylor has the what you would call the uh american record i guess so jerry pritchett's night 914.9 so
he uh just beat jerry what uh what about also try just the other raw justing i i wonder i wouldn't
think that's different i don't know so that would put him at fifth all time then, correct? Okay, so that didn't change anything on the deadlifts then?
No, not necessarily.
Yeah, so what it – or wait, it did change a little bit.
It dropped that Arriata guy out of there.
Dropped him way down.
So he actually – his best pull is a 915 though.
So, yeah, that would would was the fifth heaviest i believe that would
put him fifth of all time 0.1 pounds ahead of jerry pritchard that's pretty crazy and tie actually
well tied for fourth right tied yeah tied for fourth of the all-time comp comp you know there's
a lot of people that you see him do heavy deadlifting and training
in here for whatever oh yeah those aren't in there then so he would be up above that though too
yeah because was it like is there a weird federation thing with that one is that why
that could be enough but he would be up above that too i think so he's probably tied for fifth yeah then maybe but that's pretty crazy it is and he is he is only uh
how far behind kaylor then 13 pounds yeah yeah but yuri 970 pounds so now if we remove the sumo
yeah i mean benedict magnuson and I don't know about this person. Yeah.
He's the one that I was trying to tell you guys like two weeks ago
that has the really straight-legged deadlift.
He also had some major injury happen to him too.
Let's see.
Go right here.
Big Papa Chisel.
I like him already.
Big Papa Chisel.
Yeah, it's always interesting to me, too, though, that you can have, like, that.
Be, like, a top five deadlifter of all time with only 5,000 followers.
Yeah, I know.
Nobody sees your anything.
Yeah, there is a little marketability to all this stuff, too.
For sure.
Yeah, and how many pictures of your girlfriend you post.
Uh-oh, you got comeback. we got comeback in there oh that's why maybe he's on the comeback trail uh it's a very stiff like a dead list the other i was gonna tell you guys too uh and i'm sure you
saw this uh friend of the podcast dan bell and a few other guys had a meeting too yeah they threw up some pretty big numbers big meat was that dan's best ever i think that put him based on the caption
he wrote that was second of all second highest total of all time that look up totals all time
that because and let's see what his was and it is possible it's not in here yet. It probably isn't, but we'll know what his is off of his.
He posted what his total was.
So did he beat Lillibridge?
And I have the worst totals of all time.
Ryan Hansen, 24.3 pounds.
In 2016, Ryan had a rough fucking day.
He probably.
Well, that's what he gets for spelling his name R-I-O-N.
He probably has a disability or something.
It was probably like a really heroic day.
Because if you put up 24 pounds, you're not even using a bar.
That's a good question.
Can you come out and call him?
I never even thought about that part.
That doesn't make any sense.
I need a trainer bar for this one.
Do they make 26-pound trainer bars?
24.1. So where make 26 pound trainer bars? 24.1.
Yeah.
So,
where does he list it here?
Was it him?
Did he list it there
or on his fucking story?
I thought,
I can't even remember.
I think it was in his,
on his squat video.
Didn't he say the,
This isn't in the meet though.
Oh,
well who's,
Oh,
I bet it was Boss.
Yeah,
it was JB Boss.
I'm also a friend of the podcast.
It was either Boss or Tom Finn.
Tom Finn also benched 501.
And that was really easy, though.
Can we actually talk about this for a second?
Ryan and I were discussing this,
that everything about his attempt would have got him thrown out.
And I'm not saying the attempt.
I'm saying the before and after.
Yeah.
So the start of it was he had a handle of Tito's vodka,
and he said, this is how I prep for a meat attempt.
And he's chugging vodka.
Then he walks out behind the curtain with a midget.
He sits on the bench.
The midget brings over nose torque.
He smells it on the bench.
The midget slaps him across the face, and then he starts the lift,
completes the lift. I think he screams a little bit, then does the worm, the midget slaps him across the face, and then he starts the lift, completes the lift,
I think screams a little bit, then does the worm,
some push-ups, and then walks off.
Like, that is pretty cool.
Yeah.
I mean, that makes the powerlifting meet way more entertaining.
Yeah.
Do you suppose that was, like, his only attempt?
Like, did he do other –
No, he did, like – oh, well –
Did he do the full meet?
I think he was bench only because I know he did, like –
I think his first attempt was, like, 480, and then80 and then he did like five was that 501 or 500 did he miss
something on a third or what because that 501 looked really easy yeah and i cannot remember
now what that said or if he had a third attempt but i damn it where the fuck how am i not finding
this i thought that was jb boss squatted 1025 i know that so that's a lot that was JB Boss. So Dan squatted 1025. I know that. So that's a lot.
That was in, and that's in here.
I thought...
I think he pulled like 880 too.
Yeah, I think it was 881, I believe.
What the fuck?
Maybe they took it down because he...
It was too aggressive?
Yeah.
Let's see.
Who in the world knows? yeah let's see you know power lifting
impossible to find
yeah I feel like an idiot
but benched well yeah
you had a good bench
too well god damn it
this is just compelling
fucking one hour of thinking out
loud you guys want to listen to us google some stuff is that what you tuned in for
i did we we do kind of have to know now though like what it uh how much it was that he did do
yeah you can't just throw the question out there and not have an answer. Should I call him?
Yeah.
Maybe I saw it on his Snapchat. That's a possibility.
I saw it somewhere too.
I did too, and I don't know where I saw it.
I thought it was on JB Boss, but I don't see their stuff anywhere.
Maybe it was on his story.
But I can't find it on his
story.
It probably never happened then
well that's what we know guys
Dan didn't do anything this week
allegedly though he has the second highest total of all time
that's pretty crazy
which I believe was high 2400s
yeah 2458 Eric Lillibridge
so somewhere
somewhere between that and 2513
yeah Jesus Christ Dan So somewhere... Somewhere between that and 25-13.
Yeah.
Jesus Christ, Dan.
Glad you're my friend and not my enemy.
Dan's not doing the U.S. Open.
I don't think he doesn't do that one,
but I think Andre Milanochev is supposed to be doing that and J.P. Price.
Really?
So a couple of big totals there.
Yeah.
Get that money.
Good old Uncle Andre is just killing it.
Tanner, we had checked in with you last week,
literally on the day of your tremendous bench PR.
How's the old shoulder holding up?
Good.
Do you regret?
No, no.
Do you regret not going harder now,
knowing that your shoulder isn't ruined yet? No, I also don't regret that.
Do you think you should have just thrown 585 on?
No, in hindsight, it feels good.
The road to 600 should have started that day, though.
Yeah.
Because 500 is just not even the thing to worry about.
No, and even thinking back, it's probably more than I should have even, you you know it's like certainly pushing it as it is so no i definitely wouldn't have wanted
to do more than that but it feels good and uh no problems there it's just i can't get my groin to
not be like pulled anymore i just basically can't squat anymore because my groin is just in a
forever state of being pulled i guess i think that's what fatherhood is like so whatever was in your shoulder yes
into my groin deep into your groin yeah so i've been trying like every squat variation in the
world and it's basically i just can't because i cannot like sink my hips to a parallel position
without my have you tried just uh squatting way above parallel that's the only thing i can do
just get flattering camera angles and nobody will know. Did you try pistol squats?
I think
that's the key. Yeah, that would be my limiting factor
in not doing the pistol squats is my groin.
I knew it.
That's the reason I can't do those.
Well, shucks.
But I can do a super, super high
box squats, but then I get done with those and I'm like
hmm. Were exercises
important?
Is that worth my time at all that's just really easy yeah so my shoulder feels good though well
that's good no baby steps it's just always one thing one different thing you do notice that
though where it does seem like there's always in the sport like i think when you get strong enough
like there's always something that can't be moved forward.
Yeah.
It's just, you're not going to push everything forward all the time.
So like at some point you're going to either get dinged up or just not mentally be there for one.
Yeah.
And for you, you just had the brakes on your bench for a really long time because every time it fucking sucked.
Yeah.
And now that that feels good.
Are you benching?
Are you able to bench now?
Like mostly every week?
Yeah, I am now.
And I'm actually doing.
So it really turned the corner on you then.
Yeah.
To be responsible, I'm assuming as soon as you were able to bench,
you just jumped right into a small love?
No.
That wasn't quite enough frequency, so I did like a double small love,
like a small love on top of a small love.
Alternating days.
Small love-ception.
One in the morning, one at night at night no i started really slowly that like i was literally going like every other week you know
of not even benching at all just i i use overhead press and in place of bench so i just keep that in
more often but now i'm trying to do like hypertrophy training for my chest for my pressing
so i'm i was curious how that's going to feel like doing a lot of repetition.
Yeah. So this week I did eight sets of eight and it's pretty good.
You know, it's like, I can feel that, you know, it's not 100%,
but I don't know if I'll ever be like, where it's like, Ooh,
this feels 100%. You know, this feels great.
It's possible that just doing a little more might just help it along too.
Yeah, yeah, and I'll find out because I'm trying to bench higher volume
twice a week a little bit, not heavyweight but higher volume,
and we'll see how that affects it, hopefully positively,
but could also be negative with just trial and error a little bit.
What's it been, two weeks since your PR attempt?
I think so.
Two or three.
So, I mean, listen, as your coach, advisor,
I just really think it'd be in your best interest to,
if you attempted a PR like every eight days.
Just do another PR.
Just cash in the chips and just get that.
And I don't mean you have to hit the lifts.
You just got to try to hit more than you've ever hit before.
At least get a picture of the weight.
Well, sometimes you just got to feel the weight.
Yes.
You got to know where you're going.
You got to know what it feels like to not be able to get it.
You don't want to go into it blind.
The real key is if you can miss 500 pounds eight, maybe nine times,
on the 10th time, you're going to be so familiar with what that weight feels like
it's just going to move for you.
No, and I can't think of a better way to try and keep my shoulder healthy
other than put just about 500 pounds on and miss it.
Just put just a little bit more than you can actually lift.
How many game winners did Michael Jordan miss?
Exactly.
Lots.
Yeah, more than he made.
Yeah, you got to get out there.
You got to miss.
You got extra. There's tendons in your body. You body yeah put back on your shoulder you'll be fine it is funny though
you know now for the longest time i was kind of bummed about not being able to bench
and it's like oh that sucks and now i can do that but i'm not being able to squat and i immediately
start thinking about i'm like oh like you i'm not like but i fucking hate squatting well but that that's true but i'm also i you want to be better yeah
exactly i'm intelligent enough to know like my i don't want to be so bad at it so i'm like well
if i can't do it at all i'm really destined to be bad yeah yeah so it's it's i'm better off
squatting more than i am benching because that's what i
need to be doing more well but that's uh could be worse it could be way worse you could have
a traumatic middle finger injury yeah think about that yeah there's always someone in a
tougher spot yeah here you are complaining about this to someone who can't do any of his lifts.
Yeah.
Not due to my muscles.
Not due to his muscles.
No, just your finger.
Due to that damn middle finger.
Also, guys, in case you guys do follow the Tomahawk underscore D on Instagram, Tommy
went ahead and got a dog.
Oh, yeah.
I didn't get a dog.
Now that Tommy's engaged and has a dog, it's over.
That's about as domesticated as you can get.
You're just going to slide right into married and right into kids.
Oh, what?
I'm going to get married to my fiance now?
What am I thinking over here?
Yeah, what are you going to do next?
Some kind of loser?
Get married to your fiance?
Oh, I probably have a date picked out too, you know, huh?
Yeah, I suppose.
I'd probably pick out August 4th as some imaginary date.
Way to go, Tommy.
What a fucking loser.
Are you going to invite friends and family?
Have a DJ?
Yeah, I can see it all now.
It's just...
Yeah, the writing's on the wall.
But yeah, I did get a dog.
How is it being a dad?
You know, I always had a dog growing up, so I haven't had a dog now.
It's probably like 10 years.
I would totally consider myself a dog person.
I love dogs.
I love playing with dogs.
I love being around dogs.
But I hate the one I got.
Well, no, no.
You just forget the puppy stage of like, of like, I can't leave you alone in your kennel
because you think you're going to die.
You guys both had dogs.
Did you remember that stage?
You go in the kennel and it's, oh, for like a minute.
At that point, they're simultaneously
the most adorable creatures in the world.
And also the most awful, which is very much.
Imagine a human baby that will fucking ruin everything
that you own if you look away for even a moment.
Yeah, yeah.
Like instead of – like a human baby, if you look away for a moment, they'll just actually die is your main worry.
But if you have a dog and you go take a piss and you shut the door and you have a puppy, like anything – you could come out to any possibility.
Being trashed.
Yeah.
Turds, pee.
Yeah, pee everywhere.
That's an annoying part
of the beginning that is getting the potty training down how i mean just like a baby
all you do is poop and pee like how does that body just move that through so fast and i remember and
i'm not joking there was there were three when fletch was a puppy and he probably had even as
a puppy a very large puppy bladder i mean to the point where like not that he was hanging on to the p but to the point where he was pushing out
his bladder control was as weak as any puppy and his bowel control was as weak but but the actual
movements yeah were were very bountiful um but the problem is i remember for real i think like three occasions in which i was had to call in late for work
because and i quote i'm still waiting for my dog to poop like he just won't poop but we're
fucking working on it and then i'll be on my way but i can't for christ's sake i cannot fucking
he just won't poop but if i leave without him pooping he's gonna poop all up in
his stuff yeah it's gonna be a huge problem and uh that's what having a puppy is basically like
would you just poop and then also on the other side of it you're yelling at them to try to make
them not don't poop there don't poop there just poop here poop right now not now um sometimes
it's like oh they're never going to learn and then all of a
sudden they're like oh they got it and like sometimes then when a puppy wants to nap with you
it's the best thing in the world yeah and yeah i was i had i had to go on a three-hour drive to
get him yesterday and i actually almost thought there was something wrong with him because during
the three hours he only slept on my arms i'm like is he broken does it happen and then once we got
home that changed in a hurry and i figured out oh yeah he's totally functioning i have a fun story
was not yeah it was a fun story let's share this story so uh me and some college guys we got we
all live together we got a puppy and tyler what the other guys were in college tyler's 30 33 i was college age but you are right was not attending college
but i was a college age that's why i said me and some college guys um had a house and uh just a
straight up party house like literally ash ashen on paper plates like cigarettes out on the deal
like god knows beer bottles everywhere Total crime scene all the time.
We got a puppy because we thought it'd be cool to have a puppy around.
And get the dog the first like day, two days.
I was like, this dog is super fucking chill.
Like all he does is just hangs out.
He's not needy.
He doesn't get into anything.
I was like.
Turns out he was dead.
It gets better.
I think we, I was like, guys better i think we i was like guys i think it was a perfect dog and then one night the dog is just all of a sudden really whining which is not what
that dog does because normally that dog does nothing just whining and whining i'm like oh
what there's nothing you do you let him out nothing nothing then fall asleep for a few
hours wake up the dog is totally dead like we had the dog for like maybe i think four days five days
tops this dog is dead and it was a puppy when we got him so i don't know what you do when you get
a dog from the humane society and it dies right away like do you just not tell them right so what
so here's what i did do was put the dog in a garbage bag and took him back out to the humane society and i was like
hey i am sure i didn't do anything wrong uh-huh i can't guarantee that but like this dog is dead
and they're like well obviously you have it in a garbage bag yeah like we're not we didn't have
any doubts about that but what happened is apparently a dog came from a litter of like
they had like four or five puppies.
And they must have already contracted one of the diseases with which they vaccinate them for.
Which means then when they vaccinate them for that disease that they're already fighting, it just overwhelms them.
And then they just die.
So I was actually the third person to bring a puppy back in a garbage bag that day.
So fun fact fact dead puppies fun fact just don't vaccinate anything ever right never never this is our anti-vaccine
episode the hippies were right they knew all along yep so we uh looks like we do have a laundry list
we do have some reviews reviews here thanks to everybody leaving us
reviews on apple podcasts tanner what do we got we've got two good ones today to read and three
really shitty ones yes and then five mediocre ones either way we only read the good actually
i'll have like a 10 star rating so they they give us five stars but I base them on like a 10-star scale.
Gotcha.
So the first one, five out of five stars, and this is from P-I-T-R-S-I-N.
Piterson.
Pit-R-Sin.
I like it.
Three South Dakotans struggle with measuring tapes, basic math,
and metric system in their quest to learn that they should continue deadlifting conventional.
Just wait, isn't that the contradictory to say three South Dakotans
struggling with all that stuff?
Yeah.
Redundant.
If you thought that there is a single South Dakotan
that is interested in the metric system.
Next one is from S. McCormick.
Title, Yeah, Buddy buddy five out of five stars
get the more here i've definitely had a bail or i've definitely had to bail out of more than one
lift due to laughing while listening to these guys their bs is pretty great combination of
education truth-telling introduction to the community of powerlifting comedy smack talk
and poop jokes i didn't even take it personally when they were talking smack
about a 285-pound back squat while I was listening to the podcast
with the 285 pounds on my back.
Shit, did we do that?
We were those guys?
Damn it.
Good times and worth a listen.
This is a good review.
Well, I would assume at this point his back squat is probably double that least
i bet i mean if he's been listening to this podcast for long absolutely yeah and then uh
the other thing uh let's i don't know if you guys notice this it's kind of been taking the
instagram lifting world by storm yeah is the uh massonomics versus series the hottest series
since game of thrones it's just uh people are dying to see who's going
to be next like who uh what lifter is going to be put in to this uh hypothetical death match
and a lot of guys are saying you really haven't arrived in the lifting scene until you've made
it in one of these i would say that's true it is
one of the highest honors or we maybe haven't come up with a suitable competitor or had the idea yet
no but we're really doing our best uh some of the ones that we have done what i'm looking here is
it'd be nice to get more uh audience participation on who they'd like to who'd like they they'd like
to see in these.
But some of the ones we've done is Huck Finn versus Jujimufu,
Blaine Sumner, the vanilla gorilla versus a silverback gorilla,
Dr. Deadlift versus Dr. Phil,
Stan, rhino effording versus a white rhino,
Forsaken Warrior versus the Golden State Warriors,
Thor versus Half Thor,
Dan Boss Green versus the boss from Office Space.
Steffi Cohen versus Steffi Graf.
Two Chains versus Accommodating Resistance with Chains.
At the end, you can pick your favorite.
Jay Cutler versus Jay Cutler, football player versus the bodybuilder.
Curling versus Curls.
Jen Thompson versus Kirill Sierche serchev ed cone versus the cone heads
louis simmons versus richard simmons arnold schwarzenegger versus arnold palmer chad wesley
smith uh the people's coach versus tony perkins the coach from heavyweights uh donnie thompson
mr 3000 versus andre 3000 the nude picture of donnie Thompson, I think, made that probably one of my favorites.
There was two I really loved about that.
That was the picture of Donnie, and then he reposted it on his,
I have no idea who this cat is.
Talking about Andre 3000.
And someone's like, dude, he's won Grammys.
Yeah, like six.
Dave Hoff versus David Hasselhoff.
And then the most popular to date uh by the people the people's choice so far is larry wheels versus larry the lobster from
sponge wild square pants yeah which i wouldn't have guessed that that would be the people's
choice so far but that's uh it's what they like i think my personal favorite, I think, is Chad Wesley Smith versus Tony Perkins.
I laughed pretty hard at that one.
Because the Tony Perkins one was, was it the system?
There was juggernaut training system and then Perkins system was Perkins size.
There's always components of everyone I like.
I did really like, probably my favorite comment on the Dave Hoff versus David Hasselhoff.
Someone said, can't tell if this is funny or serious.
And Tanner's response was, we created this just to confuse you.
And then a couple people we have in the works right now.
I'm not going to tell you who they're battling against,
but I'll show the guys here the pictures so they can see,
but you're not going to know who they're going against.
One will be Dan Bell is going to be taken on a the dan bell one is going to be a real
i like that too and then uh so someone requested we do something with dan bell
so and then someone requested this matchup uh but it's ronnie another one. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then –
He's getting all the greats out.
Yep, yep.
One yet to be finished is Ben Pollock, competitor to be determined.
We did a poll on that of the fish, Pollock the fish, a swarm of Pollock fish,
and Wolverine from X-Men.
It came back like 51% Wolverine.
So we just decided we're going to do him versus the town of Pollock, South Dakota.
There was a lot of write-in votes on that too.
Oh, really?
So we have options.
A lot of good options now on that one.
And actually, Ben himself wrote in his suggestion.
Interesting.
And then the last one here that this one's actually done is John Hack versus someone.
Good.
It'll be really good.
That's what's to come, and let us know who you want to see next.
We have a lot of fun putting these together,
so if you guys have ideas, we'd love to do it.
I finally got a review back on one of my comments on the TB12 advertisement post.
You came across as a notification to you somebody
just decided to comment on my comment apparently commenting arguing with people who comment on
advertisements is a thing that douchebags do on the internet so i'm not going to say the guy's
name but i just want you to know that there are these types of people exist in the world on the
internet it was so tempting for me to comment under his thing because i'm certainly smarter and more articulate than him and i chose just to do it on the podcast instead
because fuck this guy my comment was on it was something about tom brady's uh it was an
advertisement for his protein bars that continue to pop up on my shit probably because i commented
on one yeah you're highly but my comment was are these the same protein bars that tom used to achieve his monstrous 165 pound bench press and nine inch biceps or his seven second 40 yard dash
time um this i'm just gonna guess patriots jock rider chimed in and said no but it's the same
protein bars that have helped put up an mvp season at Well, spelled at wrong, but R40.
And still is the best quarterback in the NFL at almost 41.
Not sure if you're aware, but name one legendary Hall of Fame quarterback
that had a fast 40-yard dash time, dot, dot, dot, I'll wait.
And I wanted to comment.
I feel like he's missing the whole point.
Here's what I wanted to comment. I feel like he's missing the whole point. Here's what I wanted to say is,
so are you training to put up an MVP quarterback season at 40?
Or are you training to not be fat, slow, and disgusting and soft?
Because Tom Brady is fat, slow, disgusting, and soft.
He's just rich and is a good quarterback, and that's okay.
But I'm not going to be a good quarterback eating protein bars bars but i would like to maybe have decent arms and remain fuckable
okay and those are things that i have that tom brady doesn't he just has a fat wallet and some
titles but i'll be goddamn with i'm gonna take those protein bars and also tom brady was not
eating those protein bars now when he was right yeah he hasn't been eating these for the last
like tom brady has probably not even eaten them yeah i would be pretty surprised if he did like if he's eating them it's because it's like
taste this well okay yeah whatever okay we threw a whole box in your locker okay i guess if i get
someone else gonna cook me a real meal now the correlation of those protein bars and any of
his accomplishments is zero a total of because here's the other thing tom brady also shits on a nicer
toilet than that guy and a nicer toilet than i do so maybe that's the key yeah is shitting on
nice toilets is going to make you a hall of fame quarterback at 41 yeah but fuck that guy that
guy's a fucking idiot and if i get any more of these i'll gladly because they're it's never like
an intelligent answer yeah so um i invite all of you, however, if you happen to see any TV12 advertisements,
to talk shit about Tom Brady on them too.
Because the Tom Brady fans are the worst.
If you're going to argue with someone on the internet about a Tom Brady thing,
you're the worst for sure.
So I win.
Probably.
Suck it, dude.
So that does have us all wrapped up today but we do
have some new stuff popping up in the store the uh huge life banners are there available now
and they look good they do are we going to discuss the elephant in the room

prototype prototype we'll show you on camera.

If you want to find out first when those drop.
Also, if you're international and you're one of the many people
that have asked about us shipping internationally,
sign up for our newsletter too would be a great way to, you know,
if we get that figured out eventually to be up to date on that.
Because then we can just announce that we've released international shipping as an option.
But there have been a lot of people wanting to know about international shipping.
Honestly, I think you could say the world is demanding it.
Your best bet would be to first not be super weird, to fly here, hang out,
buy the stuff while you're here, and then go home.
