We got one hour.
That's actually probably not going to be an issue,
unless I'm doing too much talking.
All right, ladies and gentlemen,
welcome to this week's episode of the Massanomics podcast.
I am Tyler.
Next to me is Tommy.
What's up? and over there is
tanner hey everybody i suppose we just dive right into the meat of the big announcement
at the very end twist ending the season finale but that was like literally post i mean it was
this lady it was it was like follow us on facebook oh by the way the robot lady
was probably starting to talk huge announcement so you might not have heard it our australian
robot lady uh so the big announcement is this will be my last episode as a male as a man
as a man who is who is not locked up.
Who is the host of the Masonomics podcast.
I like how this turned into my own personal new gender reveal.
But yeah, so I am actually, I don't even know.
We've teased at some like transitions, I think, that are going on.
Not genital wise but about i think about like
teasing about me moving out of my house i think generally on the podcast though if you're just
a podcast listener you probably don't know what's going on really unless you follow us on instagram
yeah deep but so the situation is um tanner and i just fucking hate knock down drago i mean just we vandalize each other's homes
i'm in the middle of this i've seen it the other day uh i was in the tyler squat rack in the gym
and he came in and said five minutes and i didn't move so he threw the 45-pound plate at me. I will be actually, I'm selling, I've sold my house.
Do we have to tell people that this isn't the joking part now?
This is the real part.
Yeah, this actually is the real part.
You sold the Massanomics studio.
Sold the Massanomics studio out from under Massanomics.
Oh, we're still in it.
We're still in it today.
We have, by the time you're hearing this,
I've got about three days left in the
home so we sold the house we sold my business we've sold literally everything that i own and
my family and i are moving to vienna and austria and i'll be working for julian pano and the rest
of the team at strong fit packaging v sausages same gig I've always been doing just
packing meat but uh so I'll be working for strong fit full-time doing like kind of a laundry list of
things um but some coaching some business coaching some media stuff some interview stuff can you
explain the strong fit thing a little bit for people that maybe don't have?
Yeah, so StrongFit is,
the organization is kind of spearheaded
by Julian Pinault,
who we've had two or three times on,
two, couple times on.
Two or three, yeah.
Two for sure.
And we basically, as an organization,
we kind of coach other coaches
on kind of movement principles,
but a lot of it is based around using
some strongman movements to
build structure for things like crossfit gyms so people would probably say sandbag that probably
clicks with a lot of people yeah we do a lot of sandbags a lot of weighted carries kind of more
functional stuff than just barbell stuff and is it a lot of crossfit coaches that you're coaching a lot specifically though
necessarily that's kind of what it started as um and now it's kind of expanding kind of beyond that
because we're everything we're doing fundamentally works you know it is just movement and functionality
within the body but um crossfit i think had the greatest need so that's where i would say still
80 80 to 90 of the people we interact with come from a crossfit background it's crossfit I think had the greatest need. So that's where I would say still 80%,
80 to 90% of the people we interact with come from a CrossFit background.
It's CrossFit gyms that are hosting all the seminars we do,
you know,
for the most part.
So it's probably where the money is at as far as gyms go.
Yeah.
It's tough to offer.
I would assume it'd be tough to offer.
There's a few gyms like that intelligent strength in Vienna.
They do lots of seminars and like educational products within their gym,
which is rare though.
You know,
it's rare to have a,
um,
one that gym just is rare,
but it's rare.
It's rare to have like a,
a global gym or a bodybuilding or a powerlifting type gym that just has the
client base and the money to be able to
offer other programs like that um but yeah so that's i mean i'll be doing all sorts of shit
but you can kind of follow that as things develop but i've got like just a few weeks left it's like
less than 50 days until you get on a plane yeah yeah one yeah. One man, two checked bags, one carry-on bag.
So is that all the stuff of yours?
Or are you shipping any stuff of yours?
I'm literally not shipping anything.
So you will have two checked bags.
You know they charge you like an extra $50 for that, don't you?
I do know you're allowed two carry-on items.
I know, I got a personal item.
Personal item with, you know most of my
weed no uh yeah but uh here's the problem with the personal item guys it's supposed to fit under
the seat in front of you but that's where my feet go so what i do then well if you get one of those
big first class seats in my in my overhead compartment say fuck you i put two things up
there yeah uh that's kind of how i do it but i'm not a very considerate traveler i also take my sneak it in my overhead compartment and say, fuck you, I put two things up there now.
That's kind of how I do it. But I'm not a very considerate traveler.
I also take my shoes off on planes. Apparently that's a thing people don't like.
I think that's good. I've done really long flights. They've advised you before that that's a thing to do.
There's this Instagram page called Passenger Shaming,
which most of it is really atrocious stuff. They're people's neighbors like to do yeah so i've seen there's this instagram page called passenger shaming which
most of it is really atrocious stuff like they're people's neighbors like peeing in cups and shit
like that during the flight yeah or like you know people throwing up or just people being really
gross but one of them was like and they post it kind of regularly it's just like a person with
their socks on and i'm like all right fuck you man like unless you have some abnormal foot
or foot odor i think it's okay yeah i don't know if you guys have ever taken an overseas flight
but like not everybody smells the best anyways so like my feet nobody smells great at least
13 hours on a plane like my armpits i promise smell worse than my feet so yeah um and i usually
will fly like when i'm taking a deal like that,
I will wear just my slippers.
So there is no like brewing up funk from my tennis shoes.
Yup.
But I,
they still got to come off.
Aren't you supposed to wear a suit on an airplane?
Yeah.
It's like a,
it's a privilege to be doing this.
I wear a body.
So don't call it a business class.
Like a green one with the face mask and everything.
These are my business socks.
But yeah, so actually, we've moved out of this house,
which you've probably seen enough of it on the podcast.
We were in the big sunroom, into the basement, into up here now.
Patio.
The patio had been out back.
So this house for us was like our dream house when i had a real
job before i quit my real job to own open the gym which was not a real job um but paid a lot less
but we uh but so we've this house is huge way bigger than we need and there's a lot of rooms
in this house very senseless there's some rooms that you might not even know what you they you
don't know what to name them well so literally they're technically as would be if i didn't have my
bedroom in one of them in the basement there would be four living rooms in this house yeah
and like one of them's mostly a fireplace living room and one of them is mostly a
living room with windows and there's an office that's a good site like yeah there's an office
yeah you don't want to see one civilized no and then the basement rec room and then there's an office that's a good size. Yeah, there's an office. Yeah, you don't want to see one civilized. No, and then the basement rec room, and then there's a formal living room,
and then there's two dining rooms,
and then there's where we used to record in the basement
is technically like a bedroom-sized room.
Yeah.
And then there's still three bedrooms and three bathrooms,
and it's like, fuck.
And now living, this isn't because this isn't like Snoop Dogg's house.
Like, we live in South Dakota.
It's literally, there are apartments in this house apartments in this town that cost more than this house.
But speaking of apartments, we're moving into one now.
So we're moving out of all this space.
You have a big backyard, a really big backyard here too.
Not anymore we don't.
Yes, we do have a big backyard here. But we're moving into a, I believe it's like a 350 square foot apartment.
They consider it a one and a half bedroom because one of the bedrooms doesn't quite count as a whole.
Really?
Yeah.
Is it bigger or smaller than the original Masonomics gym?
The entire place is probably comparably sized, honestly.
I don't know.
It's smaller than the sunroom living room here,
the whole apartment.
That's a really big room.
Yeah, the whole apartment is.
So the living room and the kitchen is like the same room.
Is it kind of like a mental game
to prep you for Europe-sized things?
That is part of it.
It's less for me than it is for my kid,
and also the dog.
Yeah.
Now, the dog's a very lazy animal he's a couch dog so
it's not like we're being cruel having him in an apartment because he literally spends all day on
a fucking sofa yeah so but we've been this the problem with this new apartment though is it's
actually a shithole so and i'm like well guys and so my kid is certain that like this is a situation that has happened to
us he's like oh he's like did we become he's like did we become poor dad are we poor he's like did
we did we become poor and i was like no bud we're doing this on purpose he's like oh
but uh i i just we sold him on it because like we'll still bring your xbox when we move and he's
like all right and that was i think the that was all it really took for him you're not that poor
yet you're not that poor yet your family's gonna get like a lot of bonding of like in this house
you could be in different places and not even know that the other person is home almost yeah
but they're like you'll be in that apartment we are going to there's only guys
there's only one toilet yeah and i don't know if you guys can tell from looking at me but i shit
huge you use a lot of toilet and uh yeah so that will be very interesting and then having neighbors
and stuff like that i'm not used to yeah that i think that would be one of the biggest ones
like neighbors yeah it's been like 10 years 15 years for since i've had neighbors and i don't
know even know i live here and i guess i don't know where it's at or what it's look what it looks
like but the way you're describing it a lot of times if you live in an apartment like that
like some of the neighbors aren't good that's what i'm getting at yeah um like you you don't
luck out and get like yeah i don't want to take, I don't want to take this to a racial place.
But there's a lot of fresh immigrants that have moved over.
So there's a lot of weird smells and cooking that I'm not used to in the hallways also.
So, yeah, it's an adventure.
But it's pretty short term though.
For me, it's tremendous.
It's five weeks.
It's not that big of a deal.
But the wife and kid and dog are coming over like three months after I move
because I've got to get over there and get situated and then find a place.
With you gone, I'll have a lot more room at least.
At least, yeah.
Yeah, definitely.
And that toilet thing won't be that big of a deal anymore.
Yeah.
So do you want to take us through the process of when someone decides to move, how do you shed everything?
You've got to have some insider tips on.
So the move, it's funny actually the way it came up because the wife and I were talking about this as a potentiality, almost like a dream gig that would have came up.
as a potentiality, almost like a dream gig that would have came up.
And we found out that Julian and them were moving to the Netherlands to set up kind of HQ over there.
And we had been to there, and I was like, God, wouldn't that be sweet
if a few years of this, I keep paying my dues,
and we'll get better at this, and we'll kind of figure out what,
maybe I can find a way to work for them,
and we could move overseas, that'd be the shit. figure out what, maybe I can find a way to work for him and we could move overseas.
That'd be the shit.
I was like, yeah, that would be pretty cool.
And one day Julian's like, well, you kind of need to just let us know.
I want to know what you want to do for us long term.
And I was like, whatever I can.
So I just emailed them this list of all these things thinking like,
all right, maybe one or two of these will click.
And he was like, yeah, that pretty much lines up with what uh what i was thinking so let's get on a call here in a few
minutes so i talked to him and greg and about 20 minute phone call they're like okay let's come
to europe and i'm like and i was like hold on no because at this point like i'm sitting in my house
full of shit about to go to my job at the gym that I own.
And like, you've got to record the Massanomics podcast.
I've got to do it.
Weeks of podcasts. And so I get to, I get like, and I was like, guys, I, you understand, like, when I hang up, if this is a thing, I have to contact a realtor.
And the house is going to get on the market.
Once that happens, people are going to start asking questions,
which means that my business partner needs to know
I've got to start getting buyout stuff done.
If he doesn't want to buy me out, I've got to try to find other potential buyers.
So the point was you can't just be talking with me right now.
I said, so what do I do now?
Do I go forward and do all these things?
And they're like, well, you might want to talk to your wife first.
And I was like, well.
And I actually didn't.
That's the funny thing.
I took the whole gig not even because I just knew she was like, yes, yes, yes.
But you had talked about the general idea.
Yeah, thinking, though, it was like a five to six year thing.
Yeah.
But so then it was like, all right, let the realtor know.
I actually had to go overseas for a couple of weeks to kind of get a feel for things.
And so we, once I did that though, I had to let my business partner and then the gym members
know, because you don't just disappear for two weeks to Europe.
Yeah.
Especially since I was just gone for a week, like three weeks prior.
And then not have them be like, what the fuck, dude?
Like, are you working?
So I kind of had to let all them know that that's what was going on,
get that in place, and then listed the house to start accepting offers
kind of when I got back.
Then comes all the stuff, you know.
And so phase one was actually have a garage sale
so I could afford to pay to go to europe for a couple weeks
so i had to get rid of like all my tools as a heating and air conditioning guy first so that
was a nice chunk of change and then all this just all the stuff you definitely knew that we weren't
going to need for the next couple months so just and we just had a ton of shit because it doesn't
get in the way when you have a big house it just goes somewhere into a room yeah yeah and so we had a garage sale and that went fine but like in the end i just you guys saw it like i had a garage
full of shit and i had a garage sale when it was done i still had a garage full of shit i mean i
had money but it was still like a ton of stuff felt like the same amount of stuff and then i had
to like start again like the big stuff you don't want to just have in a garage sale you don't have like
big tv and lawnmowers because then like people aren't going there to drop a couple hundred bucks
exactly exactly or or more so then you start selling that stuff on facebook like little
facebook which is always really fun which is the absolute fucking worst thing in the world
um i don't know i'm sure people unfortunately i had a few that were good
but i've also had some where it was like just the fucking worst did you ever get any like
really insulting offers on like just like that's not even worth yes or some where they're just
fucking totally unreasonable too where it's like you're asking something good and they want you to
answer 100 questions and it's like how about at this price i don't answer questions yeah you just want it or you just want it or not i don't i don't give
a shit and so then they get to uh i had one person come to buy a fairly big ticket item
a large television and then it's me and the wife here in the house and then this lady's like
oh you guys look like you uh work out
and stuff uh do you want to lift it for me she goes have you ever heard of herbal life
and all i did was how i was like i sure fucking have and then and you don't want to just like
well they've been really good to me for the last eight or nine years i'm looking at this person
i'm like you are not in shape don't i mean that's not the metric of it but eight or nine years of fucking eating well apparently like
it doesn't show supplementing to perfection yeah and then she's like well do you supplement i'm
like no and i didn't eat and i and she was asking about the move and shit i'm just trying to gloss
over this to get the fuck out of my house and then like well do what the people you coach because she didn't know
about the gym and thank god because if she knew i had a gym with a hundred some members she would
have been all fucking over it to skip to the end you're now an herbal life now brand rep uh
get yourself a starter pack for 2500 and you can be an entrepreneur work from home set your own hours yeah you know i i don't off
all of your friends and everyone on facebook um and then so i was literally like wouldn't even
make eye contact with her she's like and i'm just like yeah no she's like well you don't supplement
at all i'm like no i just eat food and things what about i'm like no yeah yeah yeah and finally
had to like get the this person out of my house but like that's probably the worst one
because she had no idea the one i'm pretty educated as far as those things go and secondly
that i just am so spiteful yeah when it comes to that that like it was not gonna fucking work
but you bit your tongue for the most part i did not even engage because it wasn't gonna go anywhere
yeah yeah like there's no way it was going to go anywhere.
So then I just talked about it on my podcast to all you guys.
Um,
uh,
the worst,
I worry a little bit about like my wife would sell some stuff if there's like
creeps coming by,
you know,
but yeah,
with the dog,
at least like.
They'd at least get licked.
If they'd at least,
they'd at least get brought a toy,
but wouldn't have murdered anybody. So yeah. they don't know that he's a big yeah
so then came phase two which is garage sale number two during my first garage sale these
people were telling me about this old guy that was getting divorced who had to sell a bunch of
his shit and sell his house and he was
having a garage sale the same day as my first one what he did was his garage sale was a name your
own price put the money in the bucket pay what's fair take it take it and leave he was in the house
like drinking beer and watching tv no he didn't even talk to anybody and i thought that sounds
tremendous yeah and so that's what i did minus the staying
in the house i still was drinking beer in the garage but i had signs up like pay what you think
is fair no offer will be refused yeah like because this was all the extra plus there was some more
things though that i didn't need anymore you know furniture and stuff like that so all this stuff if
you came up to my garage sale you just literally handed me what you wanted to pay,
and then you left.
And I didn't tell a single person no.
And a couple people wanted to challenge me on that,
and I took the good with the bad.
One guy's like, oh, you mean this miter chop saw here
you'll take $10 for?
And I'm like, put your money where your mouth is.
Let's go.
Takes out $10.
Are you serious?
I'm like, yep, here you go.
Get the fuck out of here.
He's like, don't test me. I'll fucking break it I'm like, yeah, here you go. Get the fuck out of here. It's like,
don't test me.
I'll fucking break it before I give it to you.
If you want to do this shit.
And then,
uh,
and then,
you know,
I had a,
but then you had a couple other people come up with some like shit.
You're not even trying really.
I would have paid this one item.
I don't want to say what it is,
but I would have taken $3.
He's like,
we take $35.
And I'm like, yeah. I haven't want to say what it is, but I would have taken $3 for it. And this lady comes, will you take $35 for this? And I'm like, yeah.
I haven't told anyone no yet.
Do I have to give you something else too?
And so you take the good with the bad.
And then after about three hours of that, it was like 11 a.m.
And I realized that I had scheduled this thing until 3.
I was like, I'm not doing this anymore.
So I drug everything out into the the driveway i got rid of a lot
of stuff still but it was all all that was left now was big shit that you're just gonna have to
throw away but big shit like fucking desks and dressers and more desks and fucking bikes and
just big big big fucking china hutches and shit you know know, big, heavy, dumb shit. Yeah. That's so big. You can't make it like each one is probably its own trip to the landfill.
Oh yeah, for sure.
So all I could do really was drug it all to the driveway, shut the garage door, put a
sign up that said, everything is free.
No holds.
Don't call me.
Don't message me.
Don't knock on the door.
Just take it.
First come, first serve, and leave.
And then I posted that on Facebook, deleted the garage sale ad, posted that picture of
everything and the driveway, or the address, and went inside to take a nap.
My wife comes home from work 15 minutes later and goes, there is almost nothing left out.
Really?
15 minutes.
Now the thing is this whole sale that was advertised in the newspaper,
you could have got everything for a dollar if you wanted to.
Yeah.
But the word free,
some people just cannot.
They can't.
They cannot.
And it probably wasn't the most upstanding of individuals that were
rifling through the stuff
but every single thing was gone everything everything except for one one inch barbell
the long ones with the screw-on thing yeah because that one the screw-on thing was missing one of
them but that's why somebody didn't take it yeah i don't know scrap it oh yeah that's what i think
someone'd be like oh it was like a piece of metal or bicycles that got taken they were all worth
probably less than that thing that worked less too yeah yeah but um but that was how i got rid of
pretty much everything else um and now i'm down to just probably like one truckload of shit i'll
have to throw away and everything else is going to
move into the apartment what about all your clothes like you had to have way more clothes
I downsized a lot of those the first garage sale I just don't you probably have like a hundred
t-shirts or something probably but I like them all yeah but so like are you taking all the t-shirts
or listen you sound like my fucking wife that's okay but that i mean that's the problem like i have clothes drawers full of t-shirts clothes are one though that it's i think
it's everyone like you'll have like even someone that says i don't have any clothes has a couple
hundred pieces between all of your shirts and everything yeah but you only wear like oh for
sure i wear it's like t-shirts it's like the ones that get on the top of the pile are just the ones
you wear like that's that's it there's shirts i haven't worn that i like a ones that get on the top of the pile are just the ones you wear. Like, that's it.
There are shirts I haven't worn that I like a lot that I haven't worn them in, like, a year and a half just because they're at the bottom.
Well, yeah, that one's down, like, so.
Plus, though, for real, like, our standard of acceptable clothing now has changed in 2018.
Like, a t-shirt feeling like this is good.
Like, this one probably is not going to work for you going out for a night on the town.
No, no, no.
You know, that's a, this is a, no, I'm not making fun of Tom's shirt.
This material though, that's like a, that's a bottom of the pile t-shirt.
Yeah, this is my, this is my work, or this is my at home when I know no one's going to see me or to the gym.
Like that's where this shirt gets worn.
Or when you're going to be on YouTube in front of 10,000 people.
But that's, yeah, that's, I mean, I'm concerned about that kind of,
except I also don't have much.
Like I have maybe two pairs of ill-fitting dress pants,
two pairs of jeans from when I was fat.
Issue is those jeans probably weigh 10 pounds each from the amount of fabric.
But then that's it for pants.
And then I've got probably like five, six pairs of public wearing shorts and then everything
else is gym shorts most of it's lululemon so it's light and then then i'm into my t-shirts and that's
where the bulk is well and you're gonna have to get you're gonna have to get a new wardrobe so
you look more yeah i'm gonna have to get more um more touch when you get there
you don't want people to think you're a foreigner when you go there. More Austrian.
You don't want people to think you're a foreigner when you go places, you know.
Yeah, I'm going to probably look pretty American when I'm there, I think.
Because I'm getting an America tattoo on my face.
But that has been, yeah, the clothes thing will be interesting.
But that's basically all I'm taking is like, for real, my clothes, my like electronics like electronics like computer like anything I need for video and stuff like that um the other that's pretty much it the other
interesting one you talked about is setting a pet overseas and I never thought about the hoops that
you have to go through with something like that yeah so and it gets worse if if Fletch was a
normal size dog this wouldn't be as big of a deal but fletch is about
160 pound great dan english mastiff mix so like you can't like if you like where we're where we've
you know we're at in south dakota plenty of people fly in hunting dogs all the time oh yeah
but they're like labs that are 50 to 60 pounds and you can't a dog over 70 pounds they can't
they won't push under the plane um and him it would
you wouldn't he would you ask him about the storage bins overhead yeah right him like he
just wouldn't fit in a crate that would fit under a plane right so that's not an option
at least those planes the planes that fly to here our first option was there's a company that
transports like zoo animals and shit out of but they're megan and
lincoln we're gonna have to drive him all the way to miami but just it's just have it on a boat
no i think they fly but they fly out of like a big like freight center or whatever so like they
fly out of there that's just it's a single route from there to amsterdam and then they'd have to
get them on a train over there but but that was a fucking not sure how that was going to go then we found out that there's another service that will
do it out of minneapolis so they can let's not drive to minneapolis they have to build a custom
crate for him and put him in the shit and apparently there's not a lot of flights that do
it but this one does um and then they fly him to germany and there they have a whole like
pet layover center where they let him out and they feed him they let him shit let him run and then
they get him back on for his other plane and then he then he'll fly into austria and then i'll pick
him up so it's pretty cheap so it's pretty simple because i know how just kenneling our dog for the weekend costs.
It's about $5,000 or $6,000 to get him over there.
And that's fucking ridiculous.
That's a lot of money to do with a dog.
And then there's the shots.
Like European shots?
Apparently, yeah.
Like Jägermeister?
So they have to give him, he has to have certain shots here.
He has to have, like, at least 60 days before he goes.
Some has to be, though, within eight days of when he leaves and shit.
So there's this whole, like, schedule of vaccinations and shots.
He said, sorry, I'm not a vaxxer.
Yeah, be like, listen, I don't want him to get some sort of dog autism.
But if you don't do that, then like quarantine him over there and then and him that would fucking traumatize him forever like he would not be the same animal
we tried to go one night without him sleeping in our bed and it was like like i think it still
fucks him up the p's still on nightmares. The PTSD is going hard still.
But getting him over there will be challenging logistically for my wife.
Not my problem.
Because I'll be gone.
And so she's kind of got to do, that's her last piece of all the X's and O's.
Like, that's before they leave.
But, you know, if you think about it,
they were selling her car next month and then we're going to just going to
have my truck and she'll drive that cause it's winter here.
But then she's got to sell that like kind of like right before she leaves.
Is she going to do the garage sale method where just name your price?
We'll just give it away.
Let me know.
I'd be interested in that
would you seriously take ten dollars for this we'll fucking test me oh the tires the tires
are a little rough so but uh so that's a logistically for her that's a a bit of a
handful because she's got to get out of the apartment and and so but you know what about the last of
your stuff in the apartment then like at that i think that all goes to the dump okay so i think
she'll probably move out for like a few days into my folks's house yeah and they'll just haul out
but you got to remember so guys i told i told you the size of my house now. What we are taking into our apartment is two beds, two dressers,
a love seat, a recliner,
two TVs,
and kitchen stuff.
That's it.
The basics.
Kind of like your college
dorm lifestyle.
Yeah, it is slightly
more than you would have if you moved to a dorm.
Yeah. And not a lot more.
Do they allow microwaves?
They better.
I'd say, fuck, I don't have a microwave that I can move now that I think about it.
Is it part of your range?
Is it like built in here?
Oh, this one is.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Which sucks too because those are nice and they're fast.
Yeah.
And ones you buy at Walmart don't have that same get up to them.
If I'm going to reheat some shit,
it's like a four minute ordeal.
Whereas here it's like 30 seconds.
I'm like, ah, shit.
I think I overdid it.
There's a fine balance
somewhere between 20 and 30 seconds
where it's cold and then too hot to eat.
Molten lava.
Yeah.
But that will be,
that transition is good because we just have to get used to it.
We're not going to have, one, even if we lived here long term, we wouldn't stay in this house because it was like a wild overreaction.
It was just bigger than what we need.
But over there, we definitely are probably never going to live in a house with this much space.
So it's like we just got to get used to it.
space so it's like we just gotta get used to it um but it's also interesting how small still even in this small apartment the shower is bigger and taller than
anything that i had when i was in europe so apparently only small people shower overseas
so that's what i've never understood is like you see the shows on tv and like europe stuff
like kitchen and bathroom stuff always seems super undersized.
Yes.
And maybe it's just because we're so used to the American version of it, which is probably over the top.
For sure.
For sure.
Like seems to the point of like being small to like affects usability.
Absolutely.
Here's the other thing about the toilets.
Most of the toilets.
It's just a hole in the ground.
No, no.
But it is a
it is an ineffective design so when you sit on a toilet an oval shaped toilet right what if it's a
round there are round ones still even if it's round okay okay what the business you're doing
all drops into the back are they square in europe is that the problem yes the shapes all but the business the business you're doing is all
dropping into the back side of the toilet right the wall side of you right because of your the
rest of your stuff right i don't know how you're how's your undercarriage shape uh it's i similarly
these days and age i i can't talk about it you never take a mirror and just make sure everything's
still the right place but um so so even though like the toilet's not full of water here in the U.S., you shit into the water.
And then when you're done, obviously you'll clean up and then you'll flush it down.
Here though, at least the ones that I've stayed in over there, the water and the hole in the toilet is in the front.
What?
Yeah.
Well, you're supposed to sit and face the vehicle.
I think so.
You're going the wrong way.
I think I see Slater in it.
Well, that way you can read off the back.
Isn't that butters?
But then you get...
So what happens is then the spot that you're shitting on is just this porcelain plate with no water.
That seems really unsanitary.
So it doesn't, the issue is the smell.
Yeah.
Because you're just shitting in the air.
Like if your dog shit into a toilet bowl, like into water, it wouldn't smell near as bad as if he just shit on your floor.
You ever come home to a turd, even from your little little dog and you're just like just when they go outside it's like why does that smell so bad there it is just in the air right
yeah um and so that you basically shit on a plate and then you run water over the plate
into the fucking drain which is not gonna work for the way I poo because it's just going to pile up into me.
Or I've got to eat less, which I'm not trying to do.
It's that reverse sitting style.
I'm going to have to AC Slater it.
Wow, that's the most important thing I've learned in a long time.
Yeah.
The rest, though, gas stations have beer, just not a great variety.
You know, here, again, we're used to our gas stations have, like, liquor for sale in them, too,
which is this part of the country thing.
Yeah.
I think more than anything else.
But as long as I can get cold beer.
What about food?
Meat was expensive, as far as I know what's the currency euros so pretty much
everywhere in europe is on euro so at least that's like reason it's like one system i gotta figure
out but here's what we got to talk about guys though it's the metric system big fucking problem for the old phone on the side yeah i don't know
how i'm going to handle this yeah i think what i'm going to try to do is just get all of europe
to conform to the standard form of measurements that's yeah that's probably easier i'm just going
to go over i'm going to teach everybody be like let me have you have you heard about our lord and
savior do they do they drive on the other side of the road there or no
no no i think just like the uk and ireland and australia yeah the other side so the the uh
that's no different like and the steering wheel is on the left side yeah yeah okay but i don't i
won't have a car i don't plan on buying a car oh you have a truck though right just a big truck a big stupid truck i can't fucking park anywhere
you know once you're once you're a truck guy i was i was riding with somebody there and this is
no i don't think i talked about this on the podcast but we were trying to get somewhere to
eat and we're like in downtown vienna and we had trained that day and i all of a sudden my fucking
tits started cramping like awfulful, awful, awful pec cramps.
Then I sharpened and my lower abs start to cramp.
I'm in this fucking very small car.
I'm like, I can't do anything.
I'm like, I got to lean back.
I'm trying to recline and that wasn't working.
I'm trying to reach up to fucking stretch.
Once your abs start cramping, you fucked yeah and uh and no i'm not even kidding we were in evening traffic
downtown like in vienna in the city center and we're at a stoplight and i couldn't i got out
of the fucking car and had no phone no nothing i just got out of the car and ran up to a fucking bus stop station.
And was stretching out.
And fortunately, I got it done just before they started creeping away.
Because they can't just sit there forever.
But then I ended up running them down, making them stop, and let me back in.
But the car thing, I can't even sit in a car without having to get out because i'm too big
for it so um that's going to be a recurring issue for me i think yeah or maybe i should just fucking
hydrate what do you think the most european thing you'll start doing once you go there do you think
you'll start talking with like a french accent or something i think i should definitely go french
with it right away i'm gonna eat the shit out of some bread that's what i'm gonna do when i'm over
there doesn't sound bad bread is good everybody eats a lot of bread um one of the people that was
is there i don't remember who it was but was that an american coach i think was overseas there right
now and she got there's like she said something along the lines of yeah it's crazy everyone just
eating everyone's just skinny and they just all eat bread all the time like i don't understand how that works here but um that is
it's not an american-sized portion though is the problem right i mean big ass things of bread people
just put meat on bread and that's just what they do it's different bread though you know but um
it is uh quite interesting the amount of obese people here versus there maybe specifically where we live
is a pretty high percentage but like i bet i see in one trip to walmart here
a number of obese people that i did not see in two weeks when i was between vienna and oh yeah
and holland and there wasn't like they don't even have a life there yeah it's not
like and it's also not like i was just in gyms you know what i mean like i did get out into the shit
because i like to party but but that was i thought was is always surprising and i've noticed that a
few times when i go over there my god where's all the fat people yeah i don't feel home right now so i have a little theory and i think it's because times when I go over there. My God, where's all the fat people? Yeah. I don't feel home right now.
So I have a little theory, and I think it's because they killed them all over there.
Could be onto something there.
Maybe just snatching them up off the streets.
Yeah.
Could be it.
So I got to watch myself.
But that's, yeah, so that's the, like, the logistics of the move are all coming together.
All I got to do now is get out of the house into the apartment,
and I'm good to go.
Are you nervous about the whole thing at all or just excited or anxious?
I'm excited, and now that I'm not working anymore,
I'm kind of ready to go.
Do something.
Now I'm like, oh, Jesus, I don't do so well.
The way I thought it through is I was like,
all right, I got X amount of weeks with no work.
So one of two things is going to happen.
I'm either going to get my routine and my training and food
just really dialed in,
or I'm going to party myself into a really grave.
And right now we're still in a gray area.
Anything is possible. So right now I still can play both gray area yeah anything's possible yeah i mean so right now
i still can play both sides we'll see which which which end i choose but um no i'm not too nervous
about like the whole situation because now it is just like a burdensome amount of things but yeah
with the sale of the house and the business like most of the variables beyond my control are now falling into place yeah
it's coming together and so now like i can go yeah because it is like what if i don't get any
money for any of these things yeah the house doesn't sell or my business partner is like
fuck you i'll give you 50 bucks yeah but yeah you know and then what do you do right um selling a
house just normally like is is i i think about it i'm like
ah that sounds really stressful like we were fortunate and on for well it it worked out well
in that we like had the house under contract in three days there were some stipulations with the
old buyer that kind of jammed some things up for a couple weeks but it was just like a an arbitrary time that had to pass but
um so we were fortunate i only had three days of showings to do and i was like done not having to
drag the kid the dog out of the house in the middle of summer yep and like hide somewhere
for an hour and come back so tired of cleaning the house up for strangers yeah so i mean except
for you guys i clean the house quite a bit.
Well, yeah.
It's a respect thing.
Just after you leave.
But that has been, so that part went pretty well, actually, for the most part.
That could have been a real stressful deal.
But, yeah, fortunately all that stuff fell into place and I don't have to dick around with, like, forcing anything to happen.
Yeah.
Which is good.
But now I'll just be a man in a backpack and a couple suitcases.
Are you going to get one of those stick-
Oh, they're just sticking-
Yeah, coconut-
I'm fucking homeless, guys.
I'm unemployed.
There's a difference.
But, yeah, I mean, and as and as far as like for those of you that
are obviously wiping tears from your eyes because you're gonna miss me so much listening to this
um we'll still be able to do i won't be on hosting the podcast regularly because of
the logistics of that suck and then like it ends up being such a shitty product if you've ever listened to podcasts where
they interview people via skype they're terrible uh uh yeah go ahead hold on okay hold on and then
they'll delay okay we're back but where did i lose you at and like at best the like the the humor and
the back and forth gets lost so yeah one person just has to talk the skype person can talk and go on
they're done if it's just a point counterpoint and it's not like a conversation or if there's
not anything entertaining that has to take place then that can be done but like for something to
be funny timing is important and you can't fucking do that yeah no you can't even really do that via
a phone call like you were trying to crack a joke with somebody on the phone.
It's just like,
whatever.
What?
I didn't get that.
And so,
so we're not going to try to do that. Cause that'll make the podcast suck.
But I will have some like unique opportunities and be around some pretty
cool people.
So you'll probably still see me from time to time.
We'll drop something in that,
that maybe I'll put together.
But I won't like
formally be like on the podcast all the time and your instagram count isn't going away either no
no no not i mean not unless instagram hasn't banned that unless i start sending a few too
many inappropriate pictures out there but um what would you say was your favorite ever
massonomics podcast oh. That's a really...
I actually honestly
have not thought about this yet.
Okay.
This being your 124th.
It's the 124 chicken nuggets
I didn't have to do.
Yeah, we should have done that.
I'm a little sad
we never did that.
What we'll do
is when we get to 200,
I'll just do a solo podcast.
I'll do a solo podcast well guys listen it's getting pretty serious right now it's actually not a terrible idea
um god damn i think that like i i honestly like the interviews that we've got i really really
really like.
Yeah.
Cause you got to take the show on the road a few times.
Yeah.
So those are always good and probably less, honestly, less so for what the podcast episodes turned into, but more for like, kind of like the contact and like what has gone on from there.
Like, just look at like where we're at now, just like talking shit to dan bell on a regular basis which is fun yeah or you know well frankly like the julian thing the whole gig i'm getting
now is kind of because not directly started but it started like that it's it's kind of like a dumb
word to say but it really is like networking it really is and that's why we did that's why we do
everything in person because like even the interviews we do with the Arnold,
we could get all of those people via Skype probably if we asked.
Oh, yeah.
But then if we see them in person, they're like, who the fuck are you?
You talked to us one time.
Now we run into any outside of Thor and a few of them that would be like,
still don't know you guys.
He's going to remember us next year.
Here's what we got to do. You probably don't know you guys, but like. Every year. Somebody, he's going to remember us next year. Here's what we got to do.
You probably don't remember us.
Next year, we have to take our dicks out when we meet people.
So that the next year, he's going to remember us.
You will remember.
You fucking remember me now?
But I would say probably, I think just because of like the whole backstory around it would be the first time I interviewed
Julian just because that was an important one to me that took a shit ton of leg work to make that
work too that was in California right yep yep and that was a whirlwind trip and all that stuff we
had three three interviews that time but that one was I I did enjoy that one a lot. I really still liked Trevor's interview in Texas a lot.
Trevor Bata.
Yep, just because that was a cool story.
And then now he's out there competing and has videos with millions and millions of views and shit.
Yeah.
So it's kind of cool to see where that has gone.
But still, Jonah's podcast was fun.
That was like right away.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We've just, we've had some.
I think Ty Luecke's was.
The Ty Luecke's one was a great one.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know, that was like, like, that was actually, that, that probably honestly is probably one
of the better conversational podcasts we've had.
Yeah, that one was cool.
And that was earlier on too.
Yep. First, first video podcast too. Was it really? Yeah, it was the first video. Yeah. Oh shit. Yeah. conversational podcasts we we've had that one's cool and that was earlier on too yep first first
video podcast too was that was the first video yeah no shit yeah the more you know the more you
know um i think um but still like some of the the ones we've had where it's just like us dicking
around is still pretty funny yeah um what like when those are really good the ones are
because if you guys don't know this we don't put a whole lot of prep into this podcast
other than massive amounts of research we have a team that does yeah a team does it yeah
but we have like there's been a lot of times where we sit down and we go what are we going to talk
about like mostly and sometimes it's like, I heard about this this week.
Oh, cool.
I heard about this.
We usually don't say no to anything because something is more than nothing.
And Tanner will be like, well, I got this one thing that I did at work.
And I was like, all right, perfect.
But more often than not, what we do then is go, oh, fuck.
And so we go and we just will be like, all we need is a lead.
Like let's just start moving. So those ones, though, and we just will be like, all we need is a lead. Like we do.
Let's just start moving.
So those ones though, when it comes in from like,
I have no idea what we're going to talk about for an hour.
And then ends up being one,
an entertaining hour to participate in.
And two,
one that,
you know,
like was like,
fuck,
we actually like,
where was all of this information?
We were thinking about information.
Yeah.
Those are some of my favorites.
So then we're like, guys, are we good at this?
It's like an hour goes by.
It's like, oh, that's done already?
It just flies by, too.
It does.
Hours become days.
I don't think I'm going to get all these beers drank in this hour, guys.
Well, you only got four left.
Yeah, I'm going to get all these beers drank in this hour, guys. Well, you only got four left. Yeah, I'm far behind.
If you guys have been watching the podcast for long enough,
Tyler has a drinking problem.
It's just for show on the podcast.
It's just for show.
He actually hates beer.
Actually, yes.
We do have, though, coming up,
kind of our big last hoorah for me
which is the the strongman showdown three days away as we're as we sit recording this right now
we are only three days away from it tanner is at peak stress yes that is there's that is moving
parts we've got we have we had a last minute injury so we had to swap some events out i am right in the middle of it where i'm like why do i do this but i do but i am pretty confident
that this year's is going to be really cool i this is going to be the coolest one we've done
and if it's not i'll be disappointed because i'm pretty sure that it is this is the year rogue
calls us and says how do you do it i think as a competitor
this year is going to be like and a spectator both like it's going to have a really cool feel
like when you're out there you're like damn this is like like like i feel like it's gonna
these people used to work for that they know all these inside secrets yeah we're getting we're
getting bathrobes we're not quite doing that but but it's not a far cry from that, honestly.
It's pretty legit.
I think we kind of know what to expect.
We've done it before, and we know it's getting a little better,
and we know what we're planning and everything.
But I think for some of these out-of-state guys that are coming to it
that have done a lot of other strongman competitions,
they're going to come and be like,
what the fuck is this?
What connections do these guys have?
What is this?
Why does it run like this?
I thought we were supposed to be
hidden away.
When do I hang out and do nothing for four hours?
Why are all these people watching?
And cheering.
Pretending to pay attention.
That does make it almost a shame that it's not the full,
for those guys, that it's not like the full strongman competition.
That they don't do the full thing, yeah.
But part of it is going, so they may feel like,
I just came and did the one thing, but it's like,
part of it is also, though, that like,
that's why this one will be so cool.
Right.
It's like, we feel so much less pressure to
nobody is coming into it going oh i gotta fucking win this right because if you are like you're
definitely a dick right yeah nobody is coming in going i better fucking win this or this is some
bullshit exactly uh i'm really excited i am really stressed and like, but I, but everything's working out pretty good right now.
Well, I didn't sleep pretty good the night before too, right?
Oh God.
That is like, I actually haven't been sleeping good the last two nights.
Like just like, uh, there's, there's so many things we've talked about it before, but it's
like the list of things just to run like a simple few hour event is just mind numbing.
And with all this, the worst part is like so much of it is out of your control.
It was like the same thing.
Like I,
I didn't have to deal with much of it,
but like when Leah was planning the wedding,
I didn't really start to feel the pressure until like a couple of days before
when she's like,
all right,
this person has to do this and they have to do this and they have to do this.
And it's like a lot of these people,
the only connection I had to them is I had a one five minute phone call with
them and they live in some other place. Yeah. and you got to trust a lot of people that they're
going to hold up their end of the deal that's the truth too like and then same thing with the
wedding or with tanner with a lot of these things is you're like all right so i need this person to
do this and you're like but that person's not very reliable why are we even putting this on them
which is why tanner i think probably finds himself in this spot where he's like,
I just have to do everything because everyone will fail me always.
I know who goes to the gym.
But we've had kind of letdowns from the fair board and stuff like that in the past
that we hope are kind of sorted out.
I think we've got some things ironed out.
Did you put the hammer down on the seating?
Like, we need motherfucking bleachers.
I think right now the seating is, I'm not gonna gonna take it to the bank would you say the best it's ever looked
the best it's ever looked the most confident i've ever been about the seating if it doesn't pan out
now i am going to absolutely fucking flip my top on it like like it would be it would be because at this point you're like we have had this
conversation yeah i would i would stop being polite like how hard is it for a guy to get a
few hundred bleach like a few hundred seats you know i would raise my voice at that point like
it would have taken me three years not just because that it didn't work out but because now
because they fucked it up for two years in a row, you're like, we very specifically discussed this.
Yes.
We discussed every time.
Like, this is one of those moments where you sit down and you've gone like, okay, last year you said this and this didn't happen.
Yep.
The year before that you said this and this didn't happen.
So I want you to remember this conversation right now that you said this so that if you fuck this up in the future.
Then I get the right.
I can then point to this conversation that we you fuck this up in the future then i get the right i can then point to this
conversation that we had right here now are you going to remember this conversation that we had
at this time on this day is that correct yes okay let's move forward yep and that's what it's like
but but that means that i hold it i i feel like it is gonna good gonna work out for the for the
for the correct side to sneak we allowed to sneak beer?
I don't know.
I don't know.
It's tricky.
Technically, a flex flask can hold anything.
That's true.
And you know, that works for me at the aquatic center every day.
You know, event 11 is the tug of war.
What about event 12 this year, Tommy?
Event 12 is shaping up to be a pretty good one.
What do we got brewing for event 12?
My house.
Are we doing it again?
For those of you that don't know, it's a thing we like to use every year where we go one more event than the actual competition, and that's the party.
I might save myself the hassle of not getting a keg.
But I also, a lot of times, I kind of have that attitude every year. And then it gets done, I'm like, oh, I just want to party so bad. It doesn't say party like a keg but i also a lot of times i kind of kind of have that attitude every year and then it
gets done i'm like oh i just want to party so bad i gotta doesn't says party like a keg that's a good
question what is better because i think money wise you can almost buy more pounders like more
volume of beer what's better though the keg or all the beer me the can i would rather have cans
yeah okay but keg has a certain like i like drinking out of a can better than a keg,
but a keg has a certain thing like –
The thing that blew my mind last year –
You can't stand upside down on a keg.
You can't drink it.
The thing that blew my mind last year is I think because people were a little beat up.
They didn't drink that much.
The keg was not finished, which absolutely blew my mind because –
But so many people brought their own beer.
Yeah, they did.
A lot of people brought their own beer.
Because you've got to figure if you're going to have this this many meatheads if we are just drinking a cake oh yeah
that thing is gone because that was the debate it's like god do i get two kegs right off the bat
yeah and then i was glad that that didn't happen also it's partly an age thing because like
when you're 20 you go and you're like oh i'm gonna pay for that five dollar cup and drink so much
yeah yeah his fucking beer but then you realize it, well, we're going to go to the bar later,
and at the bar it's $5 for any beer.
And you're like, I better bring some of my own.
I don't know what it's going to be like.
I've got to be prepared.
Event 12 will be better because people will not be so beat up.
Oh, yes.
I think people will be like, hey, let's have a good time.
I'm not like, I'm going to die.
I think the whole thing, the whole day will have a really fun vibe to it.
Now, in preparation for the 12th event,
is there any sort of sobriety requirement for the tug-of-war?
I don't think so.
All right, good.
Just want to get that out of the way.
Another question about the tug-of-war.
Tanner, have you done any research on how to do a tug of war
to be good at it for the red team?
No.
Okay.
Here's the deal.
I think Tanner's lying, but I have not done any looking into that.
There is one very simple thing.
Are you going to share that with me?
No, I'm not going to say it.
Man, motherfucker, I've got to Google it, and it's going to be the one thing.
There's just one thing, like a common person would know it
anyways i'm gonna google it now so we can just get it out there so who who do you think is gonna win
the red team or the blue team i think the blue team's gonna win yeah i think i do think it's
gonna be really close like all all across the events yeah i think it's and i think the final
score is gonna be close honestly though the thing thing is one team could run away with it,
and it still wouldn't mean that the teams weren't even winning.
One team could win three events by one rep and have a decent lead.
I do really think it could come down to six.
If it was six to six at the end of it, I would not be surprised.
I would love that.
It would just be really exciting if the, if the, if the tug of war mattered.
I like to look, I like whenever we're doing one or I'm in one, I always like to look at it and just like play it out in my head of what I think.
And I think if it went six to six, I would not be surprised.
And that would be really cool.
That would be really sweet.
I, um, I'm keeping my fingers crossed i'm i'm like i'm on the red team i'm more interested in it being close close than the red team winning like do we have some sort of way to let the crowd know
the score yeah we have a scoreboard uh red flip numbers and blue flip numbers. Like what you do when you're in your high school.
Yeah, yep.
Oh, that's awesome.
And they're red and blue.
That's perfect.
Did you buy those or borrow them?
I bought it.
Well, you'll use that never again.
Yeah, it was like $35.
Because we were talking about the score thing,
and I had some different ideas.
It is an important part, yeah.
Because that was actually a big deal last year that people actually enjoyed,
even though it was still tough to get the X's and O's out of it.
But once people kind of see the standings last year, that mattered.
Yeah.
So it'll be nice.
It's relatively large, but –
Card girls?
Leah was kind of the card girl last year.
That could be arranged.
She's a married woman.
I don't know.
I don't know if that's a very good idea.
So I got nothing to worry about, right?
I just don't think it's a good idea.
He said she's going to have to put a ring in her pocket. I don't know if that's a very good idea. So I got nothing to worry about, right? I just don't think it's a good idea.
You said she's going to have to put a ring in her pocket.
Don't want her to get less tips.
That's right.
Yeah, yeah.
But, yeah, so that scoreboard will work pretty well.
Most of the details, we've got the cowbells.
How many of those did you get?
We have 150 cowbells.
Holy shit.
Gonna bring the noise.
Five blue ones and 145 red ones.
Fuck.
Are you,
are you giving those away?
Yeah, I think so.
I don't think there's a market for people to even pay a dollar for it.
And I want them out there because I want it to be loud.
Then people,
the other thing,
what's really funny is the livestock is right next to it.
So it will actually scare the shit out of the cows. I think it'll be loud then people the other thing what's really funny is the livestock is right next to us so it will actually scare the shit out of the cows i think it'll be loud like if you get 150
people banging on those like it'll be it'll make some noise yeah yeah that will definitely draw a
crowd yeah brilliant yeah the budget for air horns just wasn't there this year so you gotta you gotta
settle for the next closest thing about air horns is they could be disoriented. Especially if I'm in the middle of something like a 300-pound log.
I don't need to be like, and dip.
But I think, yeah, so that's shaping up to be a really professional-looking event.
I think so.
We got a color guard again and a excellent national
anthem singer we got all that uh all that in place and pretty pretty fun uh bios of all the uh
lifters that i'm really like that's one of my favorite parts is uh listening to uh the mc read
all about all the all the people and he's got to get through it pretty quick now because he doesn't have us
for all these events.
So he kind of has to do it when he did the first announcements.
And then basically,
well,
it's going to be when we've all come out at the very beginning.
Yeah.
It'll say they announced the,
all the red team guys and all the blue,
and they're just going to go like height and weight and,
and name.
And then like when it's before your event,
you and Jacob,
I think we'll get up and stand on the big mass nomics boxes. Oh, I got you. And then they it's before your event, you and Jacob, I think, will get up and stand on the big Mastinomics boxes.
Oh, I got you.
And then he'll read each of your bios right before your event.
Get you on that pedestal.
Yeah.
I really like that a lot.
And I don't know if you guys will stand facing the crowd or facing each other.
You should probably face the crowd.
I think there'll be a little both going on.
Yeah, me and Jake with our deep, deep, deep-seated hatred for each other.
But I have the biggest disadvantage there
because I have to stand on that pedestal against Shane.
As a master poser.
Yes, and you all know that Shane is going to be posing me down.
He's going to bring his top package out there.
The complete package will be there.
That's our real event is the pose down like before i was
actually looking at some of the pictures from post competition last year the one we have done at the
gym now and i i got to looking at it and i was like what's funny is the pictures of all of us
flexing are the last ones that we take and i I'm always wondering, why do we even bother taking the other ones?
Because you never see them.
The flexing one is always so much better.
So this year, when we all gather to take our energy,
everybody just flex now.
We'll do a few different poses.
We'll even do two different flexes instead of one non-flexing.
Everybody go double bicep.
Stand there like this.
Now most muscular
but that will be uh yeah i'm really really really stoked yeah and the nice thing for
me with not having a a job is i don't have to like i can have a three-day hangover
always one of the best parts which is my favorite part about the strongman competition
any hangover i have is a three-day hangover.
It's just burning like Sunday.
How was the wedding, Tommy's wedding hangover?
That was, Sunday was a complete.
Shit show.
It was severe.
Yeah, and I did not feel good until I woke up Monday morning,
and I was like, oh, thank God, I'm better.
See, I was passable on Sunday.
I was like, all right, you know what? I'm too bad i did i did shut it down a little early it was like 11 30
when i went home but i was like you know i still went at it and i was like and then monday that i
was still coaching then so that monday then i get up and go and i didn't coach till 8 30 and i get
up and i go in and I'm like Jesus Christ yeah and
like I got a good night's sleep and like boy I was I was it was a two-day two-day fucking banger
for me yeah yeah Tommy yeah it was uh yeah yeah I felt it too you didn't shit on the side of the
road I did not do any of that I did not do any of that.
I'm not that guy, at least.
That guy must suck.
I guess that kind of wraps it up for me here, formally.
Certainly, it would be worth saying
that we wouldn't obviously
be where we're at if you weren't on the podcast.
If not for you, there never would have on the podcast. We wouldn't have a podcast.
If not for you, there never would have been a podcast
because if there would have been, we'd have like seven episodes in.
Maybe.
I don't even know who would have got that.
I don't know who would have got past the talking point.
I still think with what everything that you guys were getting ready to do,
I still think inevitably you would have ended up with a podcast.
But starting a podcast right now versus two years ago is much less valuable.
Isn't that crazy?
But we talked about that when we started.
Before we started, it was like, guys, if we don't do it now,
in a year, starting a podcast has way less value
because everybody and their dog has one.
And we said that two years ago.
If we could have done it two years earlier than what we did we'd we'd really have something yeah yeah but he but like
right now not to discourage other people from doing it but it's just it's more saturated yeah
so you gotta you still have to be all the principles still apply you got to be consistent
you got to be good or as good as you can be and then you hopefully rise to the top yeah but i
would say we probably wouldn't have one i mean i mean i'd be really surprised if we would talk
about it and then longevity like when we talked about it with you it's like oh no let's just do
that now it's like oh can we yeah a thing we can do just right what do you what do you mean let's
do that now like that that that the the way that i think when i do that works well in things like that.
And it works really good in things like, hey, let's move to Europe.
And so in the end, you're like, yeah, Tyler's a real go-getter.
But it also creates some fucking very compulsive behavior.
It leaves a trail of things sometimes.
It's not just pros and cons.
Where it was just like, you want to go on a bender? Yes. But no, that was one of those like where it was just like you want to go on a bender yes
but uh but no that was one of those things where it's like well we can just do it now we should
just do it now and then it's like what do you mean like like cup and then like i'd be the opposite
i'd be like i don't think we can just do it now like that doesn't work like that well we gotta
see how much this is gonna cost well unfortunately no i already bought all the stuff i bought all the stuff let's go
i was like oh yeah i guess i can do it now but so that is this is the last episode you'll see
in the studio are we going we're gonna tear is it going to the gym gym uh or there might be a
little intermediary time yeah yeah but yeah i think they'll ultimately be a little intermediary time yeah in the gym but yeah I think there'll ultimately
be a new studio
I think we got a new studio
in the works
excellent
but yeah
this is the last one
you'll see
see in here
we're literally going to
like
I mean you have to have
these things out of your house
we're gonna like
get these out of here
literally the computer
and the TV
and this stuff will sit in here
until I
offload it
oh I thought we got the computer
and the TV
oh yeah I want that computer the computer and the TV. Yeah, I want that computer.
The computer's a real winner.
I really want that computer.
I thought that was part of the price.
New deal.
But literally, that'll sit in here until I edit and upload.
And then this computer's getting closed and thrown in the garbage.
I think...
Tanner's like, I'm keeping that computer. That was good value. getting closed and thrown in the garbage. I think...
Tanner's like, I'm keeping that computer.
That was good value.
So this will come out...
Basically the Monday after the Strongman.
So I think the week that this comes out,
they'll have to be a series of funny Tyler posts
to commemorate the one with the tuba and baritone, baritone,
maybe what instrument did you play in high school?
Middle school picture.
Oh yeah.
That one is pretty good.
Here's the deal.
There are, my mom will hear this.
I'm assuming.
And she has, that isn't like one photo
that isn't one photo
it's a shoot
no no no I did that a lot
I was like I like modeled
band instruments for probably a few years
right in the middle of
like starting about
two or three years before my awkward phase
and ending when it got too awkward
for me to continue to be photographed so that's the best yeah like the best time frame to get bottled maybe she'll
uh do me a favor and i'll send some of those i'll ask her to i'll tell her to dig them up yeah
they're so old that they are actually just photos yeah right they're in one of those in the yeah
yeah like they used to have to cut them out with exacto knives and lay out the whole newsletter yeah that way and then then print them that way but yeah listen guys
when you're this good looking photo ops just come and knock it yeah but well i guess uh this will be
my last sign off for now i think we'll you'll still probably hear from me at some point in the future,
just not on the regular or all that often.
But it probably won't be the last time,
but it's the last time officially.
Will you ever come back to the United States again?
Yeah, probably.
Then you can be on the podcast again.
Yeah, that'll be great.
