All right, welcome everyone to this episode of Naturally Flavored Drinking, Sparkling Drinking Water with Tommy and Tanner. This week we're drinking an orange, artificially flavored LaCroix.

Is that one of your go-to flavors of LaCroix? Do you have a go-to flavor of LaCroix? No. No? I think they all kind of are pretty similar. They're pretty similar. I would, yeah, I'd agree with that. They all kind of have the same taste. Yeah. What about you? What's your favorite? There's like a pear one I had recently that I actually didn't think was too bad. I was like, oh, this is

maybe, it just, the flavor seemed a little different than the other ones. And when I say a little different, like a couple of percent different. If I had to pick my favorite one, it's not orange. It's probably grapefruit. And I don't... Grapefruit is not my... would not normally be my favorite flavor drink, but... Do you know what a grapefruit flavored soda is?

A squirt. Oh, yeah. You're right. So it's almost like a watered down squirt, in my opinion uh and a vodka sour is that a vodka and squirt or is that vodka in some places that's something else yeah you can do a lot of just kind of any sour really but like yeah i think squirt would work or i i don't drink pop ever i mean i don't even know the last time we would have pop was but a squirt would be good if i was to have a pop. They are pretty refreshing. I do enjoy a Sprite once in a while too.

I just find Sprite somewhat refreshing. How often do you have a pop? I mean, if I'm like really, like if I get fast food and I'm just thirsty and I don't want water, like I just say number six, like Sprite is my go-to. But I never like go to the gas station, I got to get something to drink. That's never on my list. Would you say once a week? Maybe.

Yeah, maybe once a week because I think some weeks I probably don't have any, and then other weeks, depending on what's going on, I might go through a drive-thru like twice and get something. But that would be about it, I think. Prior to coming on to these within maybe the last few months here, I never had anything like, you know, I never drank pop or anything. So this is kind of my, like, my replacement for that now. Like, it gives me something to have in a can. Yeah.

Yeah, it's a nice in-between. You know what's really good about this one? I mean, it's style points, really, is what's going on there. When it's wrapped in this navy blue Mastanomics koozie with the Mastanomics logo on one side and the Lyft logo on the other, it really doesn't matter what flavor it is. No, you just look good doing it.

So, the sound of refreshment. On beers with Chad, he always takes a drink. I don't know if you have to do that it takes a little longer maybe than it's supposed to it's like he's reflecting on what just happened yeah and then he kind of grades it I guess so yeah I guess this particular LaCroix is not too bad and not not too good much like all LaCroix Something just in between. But we probably didn't touch on this.

It is just Tanner and I this week. Yeah. Actually, maybe for the first time ever. I would say it probably is the first time. I think so, yeah. So hopefully by the time you're hearing this, it isn't completely exploding in your ears and it sounds kind of like a podcast. Yeah, because I'm not worried that we know how to talk into a microphone with just each

other in the room. Like, I'm pretty positive we can do that without much think so without much problem that's stupid yeah but it's just as long as this and i'm motioning towards uh the controls this control that has i don't know let me kind of just do a really quick math one two three four five six seven by one two three four five six seven it has about 50 knobs on it yeah if you just point them all in the middle you can't be wrong right but this one's to the side uh that one's to the side yeah well we'll just assume we're good to go so um i saw a a particular actually i went to sturgis for my first time ever like two weeks ago three weeks ago so maybe there's people out there that don't know what it means like if you go to Sturgis.

Okay, so yeah, yeah. Actually, I would assume most people probably do, but in case you don't, the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally is probably the biggest event that happens in South Dakota over the course of a year. Allegedly, the size of the state like doubles kind of during the week. Yeah, I think on a good year, the attendance of the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in the Black Hills can be close to a million people. Yeah, and when the state only has like, what's our population, like 700,000-ish? That sounds right.

So yeah, it can double the state, which is pretty crazy, but it is a cool place to go. The west side of the state has a lot of mountains, trees, just craziness that doesn't exist where we're at in our flat. It's hard to imagine that it's in the same state. Yeah, it is. But also, I mean, it is like seven hours away. So in most places, that would take you across one if not two states or more. Yeah, for sure. Yeah, you do travel several hundred miles to get there.

So you've never been there before've never been there no and i guess i guess you've been there several times yeah you're kind of a motorcycle guy a little bit maybe less than you used to be yeah i still have it i just don't ride it near as often a harley davidson and uh big shane who we a member of massonomics gym and we've talked about him on here as much as we've talked about any member from massonomics gym but um him and i went we rode our motorcycles there together i think three years in a row geez triple threat yeah and we you know we stayed in campgrounds usually not in a tent we stayed in like little little bunk cabins or like one time we rented someone's shitty old pull type camper that was set up like pretty much anything you can go and do you know that there's all kinds of options but

uh yeah so i've done it three times i but it's been a while i probably haven't been there in five years now okay yeah and see it for me i went actually this was leah and i both went um and my parents go like every year so it was meeting up with them but they do it like they get a room at a hotel somehow like it's super easy you know just they're not camping or anything like that and i get the impression they're sturgis is kind of known for having these big campgrounds like the buffalo chip and what's the other one broken spoke is a big one i mean they do like they They do big concerts out there. I think the night before I was there,

Eric Churchill was one of the headliners. It seems like they always get ACDC and kind of like the band. Disturbed. Disturbed, yeah, things like that. A lot of stuff that you think would fit in. Yeah, you don't see a lot of new acts. Kid Rock is always there every year. Did you go to that one? No, my buddies did, it's more like you don't see a lot of, like, new acts. Like Kid Rock is always, like, there every year. Did you go to that one?

No, my buddies did, but that was the night before. I didn't make it there. Yeah, because Kid Rock is a big one there. Yeah, people love that. And I think he loves it there, too. I think so, too, yeah. I mean, that is probably as good of a market crowd for him as it gets. They used to have big pay-per-view WWE matches.

See, that would be pretty cool, actually. That was before I ever went. that would be pretty cool, actually. That was before I ever went. That would be pretty cool to see. But anyway, so I get to Sturgis. We walk down Main Street where, you know, the hundreds of bikes or thousands of bikes are parked. Yeah. And there was one particular thing that caught my interest. And there was a pull-up bar there.

And it said, if you hang for 100 seconds, you win $100. Was it a rotating bar? It was a rotating bar. I did a little research because I'm like, why is this? Like 100 seconds isn't exactly easy, but it seems like there should be someone popping up every so often that could pretty much get that every time. I think it was like a $10 entry fee, I think. And so I'm sure the guy doing this is just making bank. Because people would go, first 30 seconds looks easy, and then you'd start to see them shaking or trying to adjust.

How much was the cost? I believe it was a $10 entry, and you'd get $100 if you could hold on to this rotating pull-up bar for 100 seconds. So obviously less than 1 in 10 people can do it, because that guy is not doing it to lose money. The few people I watched, I don't know if anyone made it past 50 seconds even and i mean this is like just your just most average dude it's just walking up um but i was a little surprised by that i still thought with a rotating because that's not really a whole lot

different than the what's it the rotating thunder or rolling thunder yeah yeah yeah i mean because that's the same concept isn't it it, so you can't really take advantage of... Yeah, you can't take advantage of different grips. Or, like, gripping a pull-up bar, like, I mean, if you're just listening, you can't see what they're doing. Like with your hand wrapped almost over the top. Like making a C almost with your hand. But you would think, in Rolling Thunder, I really get how that makes it much more difficult because you're picking it up from the ground. But you'd think hanging, that would be less of a factor.

Yeah, and they allowed either over or under grip, but no mixed grip, which does make sense. And so I was surprised by that. I made a note of that to look that up because I'd never seen it. And when I was looking around online also some people also made it sound like some of the bars are like almost even waxed a little bit so they're even extra hard to hang on to i don't know if this was the case i didn't want to be the guy to look really dumb to not did you consider trying it i did for a second and then i'm like you know what i'm not good at grip stuff anyways i think there are quite a few guys from the gym that i believe could probably i would

have wanted to try it i don't believe I could do it. I'm not being like, I could do that. I just would be like, how far can I make? And that's where you're at a disadvantage, though, because you have your entire body you have to support with it. That's one of those things that's like a light guy thing. I would feel like there's a lot of people into CrossFit now. There's a lot of people that do CrossFit regularly

that are walking around the streets. I feel like a lot of those people could be good at that. But 100 seconds must be a mark on those rotating bars. That's pretty hard to – you didn't see anyone come close to that? No, no. The closest I saw was just a little over 50. I mean, I saw some people making less than 30, which just almost seems like – maybe they had a bad start on it.

Someone had suggested for the Strongman Showdown that we do that. We set that up over to the side. Like a hanging pull-up bar? Yeah, not for the competitors, but just to do what that guy at Surgis was doing, just run it as a little competition. Yeah, just to, I guess, steal $10 from everyone because apparently no one can do it. That's what it would be, I think. That's what it seems like.

because apparently no one can do it. That's what it would be, I think. That's what it seems like. I would think if you would have taken, you know, I just think some, I don't know, I feel like some people could do that. Yeah. Or I just think like anyone that's like somewhat muscular and light. Yeah.

You know, like people that can just naturally bang out like 15, 20 pull-ups could probably do it fairly easy, I would think, just with that weight toto-body ratio. The spinning bar must really make a difference, though, too. It's got to. Because I think it has to be a spinning bar or else you don't do the... Yeah. I was thinking maybe I was going to bring this up, and you're like, oh, yeah, I just clean up on that every time I went.

Yeah, Shane and I... You just go in like the ringer just you'd play it really dumb uh clean the house out uh we didn't do that last time we were there though big shane did get get a tattoo in sturgis and that's kind of like a thing that people do that is that's uh i didn't so he got really cross my mind until we were walking down main street there was like these pop-up tattoo shops and there's just tons of people in there. And I thought, okay, well, I guess maybe that's the thing to do. Yeah, and it was kind of a fun thing with him, too, because, you know, he's not a guy that's running around getting a tattoo every day. No, yeah, yeah, yeah.

But he kind of, that was on, I think that was a bucket list thing for him is to get a tattoo at Sturgis. Yeah. It was kind of cool. get a tattoo at Sturgis. It was kind of cool. On the way back from Sturgis then, I had, because it is like a five and a half, six, whatever it is, hour car ride, I did have a chance to catch up on some podcasting that I had been behind on.

The Tomics podcast? Well, I'm already up on that. I don't fall behind on that. But the one that I did want to catch up on was the Bikram Yoga that you had talked about. Yeah, the yeah the 30 for 30 which uh i didn't even know until you said that that 30 for 30 had its own podcast series which seems like a really good fit for them and um i did enjoy it it was really good it was super interesting i was not familiar but i don't know like anything about yoga yeah um i my my My yoga knowledge is poses and stretching, and then there's a variation where people do it in a hot room.

And the one time that we did it for a podcast episode. The one time that we did it on the podcast, my knowledge level went infinitely larger, and it's still like nothing. But I would recommend people give that a listen. I think it was like four parts. Each one was between 30 minutes, 40 minutes. So it's not a super quick listen, but also compared to like a cereal or something like that.

It's a third of that probably. It is a third of that, and it's really well produced and everything. But they did bring up some interesting things in there because the whole thing with this guy, with this Bikram Yoga, some interesting things in there because the whole thing with this guy with this Bikram yoga is that this guy um this yoga guru out of India he came over and kind of created this yoga routine and then he made his fortune um basically copywriting the routine yeah and then charging people like what was it ten thousand dollars to become? Yeah. And you're saying the word routine, isn't there a word that they used a lot in that? Yeah, they did. Like, you know, it was, I don't know how many poses, it was like 20 of them,

but it was those specific 20 in that specific order and reading the script as he had written it out. I cannot think of what that was. Yeah. And for anyone else, I mean, for routine is the word what it is though. Yeah, right, right. And so the thing that I thought was really interesting that was. Yeah. And for anyone else, I mean, routine is the word. Yeah, right, right. And so the thing that I thought was really interesting that someone brought up was people started to get into trouble because they were kind of like followers of him, you could say. And then they decided to break off and do their own thing. Well, they were using his same routine.

They were changing some wording and doing some things, but they were still doing these 20 poses in the same order. And he was suing these people and winning. And one of the people that came on, and I can't remember if it was the lawyer or who it was, but he said, it would be no different than if Arnold Schwarzenegger made an arm routine and then you took it and did that. He could sue you too. And I kind of thought, like, I don't know if he actually could do that, though. If he could have done that? I feel like he would have. he could have done that i feel like he

would he would have done that yeah and that's where i thought was a really interesting thing is i mean i get it you can't just like take other people's like programming and things like that and like sell it as your own like that would probably be an issue but which that is a top that is uh we probably don't need to get into that but that's a hot topic and with among some uh us apl lifters right now. Actually, we haven't. So maybe we should table that one. Because that one just got me thinking.

That's a bigger discussion. That one did get me thinking, though. Because the fact that he, I would have never really even thought of it this way, but the fact that he likened it to something that I feel like I kind of understand and saying that, well, if Arnold made this arm routine and all of a sudden you started teaching it to people, you would get in big trouble. And it's like, maybe, but... Well, I don't think...

I think Arnold knew he couldn't make an arm routine and, you know, copyright patent, whatever, and try and make that work. I mean, I don't think that would fly. Yeah. No, I just don't know. I mean, but if that would, I feel like how many hundreds of thousands of people or hundreds and thousands of people are coaches out there that would love to be able to do that.

Yeah. Copyright a leg routine or something like that. Like, they'd be set. Right. But the fact that none of them are kind of makes you think like, well, probably because it's not doable. Right. For one reason or another. So that was an interesting thing.

Overall, yeah, it was just the guru thing. I mean, we talked about Wild Wild Country. This isn't far from that. It is a little different, but it's just like people kind of like giving their whole life to this guru. And it's funny how they even talk. They even make the comparison themselves at the end of the uh did maybe that was a special thing that i listened to but where they talked about it was the people that made it and they were comparing it to wild country how it it had come out um as they were wrapping this up wild wild country came out and they didn't know because

there was an extra yeah there must have been an extra i think but they even made the you know comparison themselves they're like oh we weren't even, we didn't make this because of that, or we weren't aware of what was going on with Wild Wild Country, but they drew a lot of similarities from it too. Yeah, and I'd like to talk more about it and go in depth, but I'd also hate to spoil it for people too. So I would just say if that's something that you're interested in or that sounds interesting to you, I'd definitely give it a listen.

Well-produced. Yeah. A good listen for sure. So that was their season this year, was that Beacon of Yoga. They did a full season almost as a series. But in the prior years, they haven't done series.

It's individual episodes. Have you listened to any of those? I never have. I wasn't aware of that until they said that in the beginning, that this season is they're doing this four-part thing. Yeah, if you're ever bored, too. Are they just like 40-minute things?

Yeah, maybe an hour or something like that. But they're all good, and they're all – it doesn't really matter the topic. Like there's a lot of topics that – you know, I'm not a huge baseball fan, but if it's about baseball, it's still good and it's still interesting. They did the Ric Flair video, 30 for 30, and then they also did an audio something, too, and it was really good. Yeah, I mean, that just goes for kind of that whole company in general. I don't know if I've seen a 30 for 30 that hasn't at least been, like, thought-provoking. Right.

I mean, you might not care about the subject a lot, but it does make you interested in it. Yes. Not provoking. Right. I mean, you might not care about the subject a lot, but it does make you interested in it. Yes. One other thing then, because when we got back, we were taking it easy. Yeah.

So I was getting caught up on even more media. Last Chance U, I don't know if we've ever actually talked about that. I remember getting a recommendation for you for Last Chance U. It's a TV show or it's a series on Netflix. Yep. It's about a JUCO football program. The first two seasons follow this program. Was that in Texas or where was that even? I forget.

It was somewhere in the south. Somewhere in the south. I don't know if it was Texas or not. I don't think it was Texas now that I think about it. I feel like it was like Alabama, Louisiana. Yeah, it was somewhere down there, I'm pretty sure. Mississippi, I don't think it was Texas now that I think about it. I feel like it was like Alabama, Louisiana. Yeah, it was somewhere down there, I'm pretty sure. But this JUCO, they're kind of known for taking all the D1 top prospects that got into trouble. It almost is all getting into trouble, like probation type issues.

Maybe academic issues. Academic issues, yeah. And they kind of almost have to lay low and clean up their act. And so they kind of disappear from D1 and go to this JUCO. And, yeah, first season, really, really interesting because it's like, ah, I guess I didn't play football at a high level, but I'm, like, surprised to see, like, is that actually how coaching should be run?

And that's the big thing is that coach. Yeah. That, I don't know how you would describe what he was like, but I would say he's getting into fights with the refs. Like the refs, almost the team. Yeah. Pretty much. A lot of F-bombs. Yeah.

It just feels like a pretty toxic just situation in general for everyone. Yeah. High tension. So was he back for the second season then you know i never watched the second season i watched the first season and it got done i was like i think i've kind of had enough of that situation that was a little maybe a little enough just enough of it in general yeah um there's only so much i can take of just watching people yell at each other over and over before i just kind of start to lose interest. Someone out there,

correct me if I'm wrong, but I think maybe that he eventually got fired over the deal or quit or something like that. Because I think there was kind of a fallout among some of the staff and everything with him, even the teachers. There was that one teacher that was helping everyone so much and then this guy's kind of coming in and the whole thing's blowing up.

Then I saw season three had popped up out of nowhere, and I didn't know at the time if it was new or old, but it was a different school. And the coach kind of had a different flair for this one. So have you watched anything of this? I haven't seen this at all, no. I'll just give you a quick – it's sort of along the very same lines. This one is a juco in Kansas,

and Kansas had just changed a rule in the past like year or two um they used to always have a rule that you were only allowed to have like seven out-of-state recruits on a team and they just change it to unlimited out-of-state recruits okay and so the the coach for this one is a really interesting character he's supposedly grew up in compton he was the only white guy atpton he was the only white guy at his school like the only white guy he knew I guess I'm not really sure how he ended up there I can't remember what what how that worked out but um all the uh recruits and you know teammates talk about how like when they were getting recruited by him they thought there was a black

guy that was recruiting them yeah but it's actually just this white dude. And he probably uses the F word 30 times more. I mean, for him, it's literally a term of like, what's up, dude? But it's like, hey, motherfucker. That is how he talks. And they talk a lot about how the Kansas values, that kind of goes against it. So it is funny to watch that. But, man, there comes the point where it's just like i think people get numb to using the f word all the time and like you've all you've lost like any

way to like seem more frustrated because you've already sound as frustrated as possible all the time and i mean that goes on to coaching strategy and all that which uh i mean i i don't know much about it but um i do recommend it was It was entertaining. You watched the full season. I did watch the full season. Yeah, it was good. And, I mean, they had recruits from, like, Michigan, Miami. I mean, like, pretty much all the big D1 schools and some decent, I think, people that maybe a couple guys that came out of D2 too, but, yeah,

kind of their goals to just get there, get the job done, and then move on to the next thing. And a lot of these guys do get recruited to go back to D1 by the time their time's done there. And that's a Netflix series, right? Yeah, yeah. So again, really well shot, well produced, so it is fun to watch. I haven't we got Hulu recently, so

I haven't even been on Netflix. So you have a little change of programming over there. I still only watch, now I just watch like two shows on on that so what's good on hulu seinfeld oh i was uh so desperate for netflix to get seinfeld for so long and then someone told me it's on hulu and i was like well made that's it we're getting it because because i can just watch that all the time i can like the office like yes yes and i can completely admit i've maybe seen 10 or 15 episodes of Seinfeld in my whole life,

so I should at some point make that jump. Oh, yeah, it's worth it. You have to, like in this scenario, you're going to have to watch like 10 episodes. I think you have to watch 5 to 10 episodes until you start to think it's funny. At first you'll watch it, and especially the older ones, ones they look older like the pilot episode especially and even the first season you're like oh i guess is this funny but then once you know once you know the characters and everything then it and the later seasons they really build on it and yeah i think they really get hilarious but you i think you either love seinfeld do you hate it i don't think anyone's

like oh that's kind of an okay show no and i think i i think i'd be a fan of it i feel like i get that humor yeah also i i have seen a few episodes of curb your enthusiasm if you watch that larry larry yeah larry david big fan of that show too like the ones that i have seen yeah i do like it yeah um i'll have to get that pencil in on the list here besides besides that South Park catching up on the last five seasons of South Park and that is one thing I've really been slacking on the last few seasons people have said PC Principles and I have not seen them

I love it I hadn't watched it for probably five years I was behind it and now I caught up on all those seasons and I just it just gets increasingly funny to me I don't know i it does does your wife watch south park she doesn't like it she doesn't like it she's watched it before and she doesn't hate it but she really doesn't want to watch it with you

mine is not a fan of south park and i don't blame her i mean i get how you could but she also loves family guy so like i feel like they're not that different no but maybe I just gotta force it on her a little more I like Family Guy a lot too and for a while I watched that a lot more but South Park is funnier it is and it's a little more relevant they kind of make their thing out of being timely big time

almost to the point where if you go back a few years and watch an episode you probably assuming you are aware of the news you can probably pin it to a certain event and that's what that episode is a reaction to almost it's funny though how both of those shows how they evolve you you can make the comparison in both like in family guy at the beginning you know stewie is uh um a maniacal uh bent on like destroying the world and his mother and like and then he turns into into a little homosexual boy.

He's kind of funny. He evolves, yeah. And that becomes a thing. Sophisticated. Right, right. And then in South Park, I was thinking about it. At the beginning, it's dumber, and Kenny dies every episode. It's the recurring thing, like, oh, you bastard, you killed Kenny.

And then after a while, that's not even a part of the show anymore. It has nothing to do with it. Every once in a while, they'll killed kenny and then at the after a while that's not even a part of the show anymore there's nothing to do with like every once in a while they'll throw that in and be like oh yeah i forgot that he kind of yeah you used to die every episode and then like randy can be a main character which you can always make a show of yeah like some episodes are just the randy show which i'm totally fine with and randy and butters i think at the beginning of the the, weren't even characters whatsoever. And yeah, you know, stars of the show. Yep.

So that's that. That is that. That's our podcast. Our media catch up guide for August 2018. So do we talk about powerlifting stuff now? I suppose we do that on this podcast we could mention powerlifting and strength sports um there were some big things that happened this weekend yeah so uh i guess this will be about a week past once you're listening to this uh you'll be

one weekend prior to when you're listening to this probably already covered all of it yeah it's the top 10 it was all all on there but in case you didn't catch it on there, I guess we'll go over it just in case. So what was there this weekend? There's both the tribute meet. The pioneer. The pioneer that Matt kind of led the way on the first year of that. And then also the Boss of Bosses 5, Dan Green's big event. So kind of odd how that works out,

that I would say two of the bigger powerlifting meets of the year, you know, non-IPF, USAPL, fall on the same weekend. I think the Tribute Meet was a USPA meet, and Boss of Bosses is a WRPF, I believe. So did you see Sierchev was there? Because he's like the chair of the WRPF. Yeah, I think so, as far as I know. And then, not about the meat, but he was bench pressing with Dan Green spotting him.

And he was doing like 530 for a set of six. And just the way he benches, it just. It's really, really smooth and easy. Yeah. It's so smooth. Every rep. It's just in a groove and just going and it just has a way of you know uh if dan green was gonna bench 500 pounds you know it'll like almost like slam

down to his chest and like stops yeah and he kind of yeah i mean he kind of has that little heave yeah that he does which is all i mean totally allowed right right. It's just, and I think the size of him, it makes like his hands are so massive and he's so big that he takes up so much of the internal part of the barbell that it all just kind of looks like a toy to him. Yeah. It seems too easy. Yeah. And one question I have, I don't know, we don't have the answer to this

and I don't know what the answer is, but why, you know, in a year is there 10 major powerlifting meets? Or I don't know what the answer is, but why, you know, in a year is there 10 major powerlifting meets? Or I don't know, I'm just making up a number. Are you talking about all across the sport? Yeah, all across. You know, there's IPF Worlds, USAPL Nationals, Reebok Record Breakers, Boss of Bosses, the Tribute Meet now, US Open, and then, you know, I just counted six.

Like Big Dogs. Big Dogs, there you go. And maybe a few others. There's definitely a few we're forgetting. But, I mean, if you said name the 10 biggest meets, I don't think any of those people would leave those in. So why are those two on the same weekend? Because there's 52 weekends in a year.

Yeah, and I don't know if, because I know Matt with Pioneer, I think he decided on this date a long time ago. Uh-huh. I thought he did at least. I think so. And so I wouldn't be surprised if like boss of bosses, like they just. Just said we don't care, we're doing it then. Pick this one.

Yeah. And that's just the way it worked out. I mean, they had to have known that the tribute meet was also that weekend. You would think. Because, and I mean, that kind of seems like it's a lose-lose for everyone, like the fans and the meet promoters because, like, okay, if you can get, possibly get two months between them, like, then some of the guys can do both, and that's just as bigger names, bigger or more money for both people.

Right. You know, more spectators because you're not dividing everything at that point. No. But also, I don't know, is Big Dog's in like a meter a month or two anyways yeah so it might just be like it's just the nature of the beast i guess yep um results wise of i mean starting with the tribute meet i basically don't know i i don't think i haven't seen from what what i know john hack was lifting there i haven't seen anything of how john hack did uh for steve johnson forsaken warrior i thought he was John Hack was lifting there. I haven't seen anything of how John Hack did. Steve Johnson, Forsaken Warrior, I thought he was going to be lifting there.

I haven't seen anything about that. Yep, I didn't either. Ben Pollock would be another big name. I believe he got hurt. Okay. It was a quad or hamstring injury, which I think he had kind of already been bugged with. But, yeah, I didn't see a lot coming out of it. And like on instagram there wasn't a lot that i saw either like i saw cc had like a big deadlift so she was in uh the tribute yeah okay and so she broke must have broke some records of some sort i did not know this until now it said junior world record yeah is she like 22

i wondered about that too and i think it said like her last chance at a junior record so i don't know what the cutoff is even for sure and i just as we're talking i just saw a picture and kevin oak must have been lifting he did he did and i believe he made a shot at larry's like 242 record okay and i think it came down to like the last deadlift and i believe that was the uh he missed it but i think that was what gave him the the chance at it um i'm just trying to see if i can find um any any actual details from it here it's slow to come you know and not i don't know who did well and who did didn't do so well but when people don't do so well you don't see a lot it just kind of is like it never happened yeah because our our new source is social media and in their instagram accounts

basically in something like this and maybe maybe reddit to like it as the one other alternative yeah and so if they do not so well a lot of those guys don't post anything at least not for a while then a few days later, you'll see something. Things will start to shake out a little bit. Yeah. But it's not like if they set an all-time world record, you know, they're usually throwing up and circulating all over the place. Yeah, it says Kevin Oak went 6 for 9, 804 squat, 534 bench, 804 deadlift

for a 21-43 total. Okay. And he was lifting in 242, I suppose, and didn't. squat, 5.34 bench, 8.04 deadlift for a 21.43 total. Okay, and he was lifting in 2.42, I suppose, and didn't. Yep, yep. And that was not a world record then. So I don't know. Do you know anything else about the tribute meet then, I guess? We haven't heard a lot about it yet, I don't think. Yeah, I just haven't heard a lot about it yet i don't think i yeah i just i and there's i just

haven't been able to see much i like i'm checking red right now and i just don't see a whole lot on there for it there's maybe a better source for these things but yeah i'm not completely sure what they are um something that happened with pioneers page did you did you see this that uh this was just a few hours ago that Matt at Pioneer put out a post. Someone hacked their account and stole Pioneer underscore fit, which has always been their handle. He says, I don't know if it'll help, but please go report that page and tell Instagram that they stole our name. So now they show up as Pioneer powerlifting, originally Pioneer underscore fit. So that would be super annoying. as Pioneer Powerlifting, originally Pioneer underscore Fit.

So that would be super annoying. But I don't know how it works because it still shows up as 81,000 followers. Well, I think just their handle change was all. So, yeah, I mean, I'm not sure specifically how that goes, but I guess that would be like if you change your name to Tanner, then technically I guess the Massanomics handle would be available and someone could get that then. Right. Okay.

That would be super annoying, though, for that to happen to them. So, I guess the lesson is have really secure passwords, kids. Yeah. So, if someone hacked and you think changed this name to something else and then went in and, you know. Apparently, yeah. And, I mean, there's like bots that can do a lot of that stuff, too. Yeah. I don't know. It's a lot of weird stuff can happen but that's probably what it was a bot

or a person somehow got in changed something got them out of it yeah and ran with it huh well that would suck let's hope that doesn't don't do that to us if you're thinking about that i don't know what would be in it for you in the first place. Nothing. Literally nothing. In the Boss of Bosses, we do know a lot more about that. Yes. Part of the big reason we know about that is because of the relationship they had with Open Powerlifting this year. You were kind of explaining that. Yeah, Open Powerlifting kind of are, they were or they are one of the premier sponsors for the event and so part of that deal

was that they were going to get um scores and totals published like right away and they did do it like right away i mean i think these results were out as of like last night and that's nice that is really and it's like everyone meet directors like do this deal like yeah get get your stuff to them right away right have it on there and now like as fans of the sport we can go and look and like we see it all right here we know positions one through 118 of the meet um i think everybody should be partnering with them to do that like i don't know what's involved on the the meat side of it but i feel like you should be doing that yeah i don't know why you wouldn't.

It's just like it's a win for you. It's a win for your fans. Like it's a win for the lifters. Like they can have their stuff out there earlier. What does that – so do they – behind Yuri's name, we're looking at the results on open powerlifting, and like behind Christy Hawkins' name, is that Boss Barbell Club? So is that your gym affiliation? that was something they were playing with is that possibly

adding in some type of sponsorship gym affiliation so they could like put math a math after our name potent i mean that is possible whether they would do it or not it's a different story but um i think that was also part of the the sponsorship deal with boss barbell club is that they were promoting boss barbell lifters with that, which is a pretty cool thing to see. Yuri, that other one there, I think it's like... Some Russian. There's a Russian.

It's like the Russian social media platform of choice. Their logo is like a VK. I'm not sure what it actually is, but it is a Russian social media thing. So that's why you will see most people have their Instagram logo behind their name. A few people have the VK. Yeah. Okay. The Russian people. Well, that's cool. Yeah. But yeah, I guess as far as

results go, Steffi Cohn coming in at number one with the new all-time raw Wilks world record. So you're saying in sleeves. Yes. Not knee wraps. In knee sleeves of men or women the highest wilks ever yep 628.29 if you want to get really specific that a lot that's a lot of

wilks's that's a lot of the wilks's on there yeah she uh she set a all-time world record in uh the squat at 419 pounds that's in raw with no wraps in the 123 pound class and she also set the total record in the 123 pound class with uh oh what would that be 11 57.4 there you go oh wait yeah total 11 total, 1157.5. Yep. Well, I guess if you want to give her an extra tenth, then yeah,.5. So that's a pretty good day. Yeah, not bad at all. It's just, like, I'm curious. And she deadlifted 507.

Yeah, if you went back through her last meets, like, has she had a meet? Like, for probably her last two or three meets, at least she's broken some type of all-time world yeah it feels like she would run out i mean she'd just be breaking at this point yeah at this point it almost is kind of her just re-breaking herself i guess when it comes to all time like that can change a little bit with with whether it's raps or i would assume she's well off on the bench, whatever that record is. Probably, yeah. But 231 is not that. For 123 pounds. That one did shock me quite a bit.

For 123 pounds. No, not to say that that's bad. Yeah, yeah. Like 231 is really impressive. Yeah. It's just not as impressive as her deadlifting like 510 pounds every time. Yeah, or even the 418 yeah sleeve squat yeah it's it's a really good squat to waste weight 100 she weighed 121 pounds actually yeah pretty crazy it

is uh then what about i've heard of that guy below her there so yuri belkin he got in second with a 623 point we'll just say 623 wilks yeah uh his total was 2292 which is pretty insane that he's almost at the 2300 mark and he weighed in at 229 pounds yeah like that's that total that uh what you said 2292 2293 i guess yep is uh in the 242 class with or without wraps, an all-time world record. Yep. And so he did have wraps on. Squat, 881, really good. Bench, 507, and deadlift, 903, 904 basically.

So he must have broken Larry Wheels' total record then. Didn't he have the? At 242? Yeah. Oh, yeah, probably. Butry's i think was without was larry's without was his just sleeved i bet it was because he usually doesn't wear wraps anyways but um i bet you're right so he probably has he probably still does have the total highest total raw yeah in sleeves and then looking at this stephy's 26 and yuri's 27

so you just want to think like if they can stay healthy for like five more years like there could be some really really crazy numbers going out there you know everyone talks about yuri's deadlift of course i mean he deadlifts over 900 pounds has multiple world records there but you know an 882 pound squat and hit that looked pretty good like yeah it didn't seem the video i saw didn't seem like yeah like it was an all-out grinder or anything no that i mean you would think he's gonna he could put together a meet here someday where he squats 900 and deadlifts 900 yeah well i don't think that's unreasonable and then bench i think yeah just continue to just steadily move along so he should be he should be breaking 2,300 pounds.

Yeah. Weighing 230. Yeah, 230 in the 242 weight class. But Tom Martin on third, do you know him or follow him? Yeah, he's a big dude. Yeah. He's a strong fella. And he had a 2,171 total.

And he weighed in at 218. I actually thought he was always, for some reason in my head, thought he was heavier than that. I mean, I'm sure he cut a lot of weight for it. Yeah, I think he does. I always thought he was like 260, 270 pounds. He's probably not that big. I think he's Australian, right?

Is it that or British? Maybe that's it, too. We can probably find out here, actually. France, Australia, England, Finland, England, UK, UK. Just by the number of meets he has in the UK and England, I would assume. Yeah, I bet you're right. Yeah, he had a damn good total, too. And broke 600 Wilks still.

Three people over 600 Wilks. Always good to see that. And then, yeah, I mean, there's a lot of other people. I think they kind of gave you kind of a better roundup of kind of the highlights, don't you? Yeah, open powerlifting shot us all the world records. So we covered Steffi's squat. We covered her total.

And then as far as women goes, Christy Hawkins, she was fourth highest Wilkes in the meet. She broke, uh, what did she do? A bench press and a full meet in her one 65 weight class with a 331 pound bench. Wow.

So that's a big bench. Yeah. That's really good for a 160 pound or 165 pound woman, a 331-pound bench. Then also she set the total for 165-pound women with 1403, 1404. Or is it 1377? I don't know. On here it says for Christy Hawkinson.

On the website it's reporting 1377. Okay, well, I would say that's probably right then. But they did have for total and no reps that she broke the world record. I would go with what's on the website because this is me just communicating with them over messaging. Wouldn't be hard to hit a number wrong or something right and then man we talked about what yuri did the other one was andrew herbert oh so that's herbie the love bug that's who that on it oh okay okay that name didn't stick out to me right away at first

who that was um he he trains with uh at i think yep boss Barbell Club with Dan Green. He squatted 915 pounds at the 242 weight class, so that's a world record there. Yeah, that's a good squat. Then he benched 441 and deadlifted to 816. Seems like he would have some room to grow on his bench press, I would think, to catch up with those other two enormous numbers. I mean, that's the one that's lagging behind.

I wouldn't say it's really lagging in the scheme of things. But, yeah, in comparison, you're probably not going up a whole lot more on the 915 squat. No. In contrast to Steffi and Yuri, Herbie the Lovebug is 36 and Christy Hawkins is 37. Yeah, and they're 26 and 27. Yeah.

So there is an age gap there. So they're setting those world records at 10 years older. Yeah. Yeah, it'll be interesting to see, like, you know, with a lot of this data, like, okay, like as these people are approaching 40, are their shots at world records decreasing? Uh-huh. Or are they still like, can they still be like super relevant in that world record chase?

Did you have any other big numbers for us there? No, I think that was pretty much it. And they did send with the caveat that some of those could have also been broken somewhere else that day somewhere in the world. And, you know, they just don't have that data yet. Like maybe at the tribute meet, somebody in the 165 women's class did even more, but they wouldn't know that. But as far as they knew as of that day,

those should have been new world records pete rubish also lifted in that meet oh and james strickland yeah james strickland did have his first full power meet in quite a while yeah at least in quite a while and i know his goal is 2100 and and that's i guess i don't know if you want to be technical and he didn't hit it it's a 2,099.9 pounds. I mean, as close to it as you can get. We'll just assume the calibrated plates are off by.1 at some point, and that's where it gets made up. As a guy that you think has just a bench presser, though, a.772 deadlift, pretty good.

It is, yeah. I mean, really good and, you know, really good well and a lot of times guys that kind of are considered bench plus bench press specialists like a squat isn't something you would assume that that they have a lot of proficiency in and he had a 705 and the video i saw it looked like he could have done probably a decent amount more yeah i think he's fairly conservative with that it looked good so pretty impressive you know take someone that you just think is a bench presser and he goes out there and totals 2100 yeah yeah i think that's always cool to see people uh step out of their what

people expect out of yeah um but yeah otherwise i mean it was a big meet a lot of lifters um was there over 100 well according to the results here there's8. I think it looks like a few of these were probably bench only. And then I think there was maybe some scratches too. So I don't think there was a full 118 that competed, but that is the names on the roster. So that's pretty boss. So I guess that's why they call it boss of bosses. That's right.

Looking at our big to-do list here, Tanner. Do we maybe have a special feature this week? We do have a special feature again this week. For our second time, we're going to bring you the open powerlifting stat of the week. So we're still working. We might get even a cooler intro to that. Yeah, we'll still. I mean, it might be in the next episode.

It might be in 20 episodes. But we're going to have a sound effect at some point for that. So if you didn't listen to our previous episode, 125, first of all, check that out and go listen to it. But we introduced our new thing, the Open Powerlifting Stat of the Week. we introduced our new thing, the Open Powerlifting Stat of the Week. Every week we're partnering with Open Powerlifting, and they're going to provide an interesting powerlifting stat that we're going to push out to you guys. And last week's was pretty cool.

Yeah, I really enjoyed it. It got me excited. Yeah, so this week's Stat of the Week, I'll go through it here. We're going to first go by male and then go by female but first is number of male competitors in each weight class for all currently recorded years so it's the uh i'm actually looking at a chart as i say this but if if you broke each weight class down you know started with 114 pounds 123 132 okay and we so yeah we're seeing where the the majority of people what weight they're actually right so not not having anything to do with how much weight they're lifting just how many people what is the actual size yeah people right what what weight class

are people lifting in uh so i'm just going to run through and i'll round these numbers just a little bit, but in men's 114 pound, and this is in all currently recorded years. On their website. Yes, yes, yes. So they could be there. It's not, their mission isn't accomplished yet of having every single meet of all time in there, but eventually it will be. But yeah, so of all the data they have,

this was just boggling me that it was 435. In the pound weight class? 114. I guess that's really – Do you know off the top of your head, do you know any 114-pound guys? No. I mean, in high school I did. Yeah.

Yes. And then on top of that, most people that weigh 114 that start lifting don't weigh 114 anymore. You know, you get bigger. So, yeah, that's a pretty exclusive group of people. Yep. Then we go to 123-pound weight class. The number's 850. So it's on the way back.

So we double just about. Yep. 132-pound class, 2100. Okay. Just about triple. Yep. Starting to register on the bar scale here. Then we go 148-pound weight class, 6,100.

Just about tripled again. And even there, do you know very many guys that could lift in the 148-pound weight class? No. Yeah. I mean, I don't know anyone that does. Yeah. Next weight class is 165. That's the first weight class that I start to know people that can compete in that weight class.

That number is 12,700. Okay. Then we go to 181s, a common weight class I would consider it, 16,800. Yep, makes sense. 198s, another common one, 16,900. So 181 and 198 is about the same. Then next we hit our biggest weight class of 220s, and that's over 19,000. Yeah, which makes sense.

I mean, I'm assuming those three are going to be the most popular. Why don't you keep going? Yeah. Next one, 242, still a popular weight class. Then we go down 13,700. So that one's 242 is only slightly more than 165, which I would have guessed that there would be a lot more 242 than 165. Yeah, I think there's that thing where a lot of people aren't tall.

A lot of people aren't over 6 feet. If you're under 6 foot, weighing 242, you're a pretty stout guy. Yeah, that's true uh then we go to 275 there's 9500 then 308s 3900 so there is more 148s than there is 308s then last one super heavyweight uh 308 plus 2500 see that's kind of crazy too that there's there's about the same number of 132 as there is super heavyweight super heavyweights so that is kind of the crazy thing when someone has a super heavyweight record yeah i mean they really are the best out of 2500 yeah in comparison to if someone has the best uh 220 or 18 Yeah, they're the best out of 15,000 to 20,000.

Yeah. But it's also half the people that you see on Instagram and stuff are super heavyweight. And maybe we just have the bias towards that. That's true. I mean, statistically, they're a lot of 165, 198. And, you know, the USAPL classes are a little different on that. Right. And I don't know how many.

Statistically, there's a lot of guys in there. But we probably just have the bias of, you know, most of the people that we lift with, we're all between, like, 6'0 and 6'6". Yeah. And we kind of like to watch people that are bigger. I mean, because that's who we're lifting with. You know, at the gym, compared to a lot of the guys. I'm on the smaller side at like 6'1 and 220-ish.

So, yeah, you do forget, yeah, we are a little bit different on that side of it. Right, that's true. And that does, you know, the weight classes here aren't IPF weight classes, but they did reorganize them to fit into those. So that's men. We'll look at the women side of it also here quick. Lightest weight class there, 97 pounds. Which is a tiny person. That's obviously the equivalent of the 114 men because it's also about 460 in that,

and that's about what was in the men's lightest weight class. Yep. So then we go to 105. There's 1,200. 114, 2,800. 123, 4,100. And then 132, 5,500. And then the next one here really jumps up and is by far the biggest,

the 148 weight class for women. There is 9,500. And then the next one here really jumps up and is by far the biggest, the 148 weight class for women. There is 9,100. That is a pretty good jump there. Yeah, it goes from 5,000 to 9,000. And I don't know if I would have known what to guess would be the biggest women's weight class. I really don't know how to. I guess in my head, I would have said around 150-ish, which seems like if you're, I don't know.

I don't really know how you figure that. It's a good even number. 165 was the second largest weight class at 7,700. Then it goes to 181. There's a pretty good drop-off down to 4,500. Then 198 is 2,800. This is interesting. 198 is 2,800. This is interesting. 198 is 2,800.

198 plus, which would be their, I guess, super heavyweight class, is larger than 198 at 3,500. So it's 2,700 to 3,500. So men's just continually went down, whereas women's... That is probably, to me me also the most surprising thing of the women or i shouldn't say surprising but the the most interesting thing about the women's weight classes is that it really ends at 198 which isn't to me like i could see that eventually adjusting you know with more people with more women especially in the sport um i think yeah

to match what the equivalent of what the men's weight classes are there should be another one because this shows that it is out of whack in comparison to the men's there's not that could get sliced yeah that there should be another or even just distributed maybe a little more evenly yeah because there is even with the men having a much larger pool of men there is more women in the super heavyweight women's class than there is men in the men's super heavyweight class yeah and they're and men are drawing from a much larger pool yep and then the fact that the women's gets busier again yes the heavy super heavy versus the one where they could maybe be a little lighter and be more competitive yeah it sure looks like there should be like a

220 pound uh women's class yeah and then 220 plus or something like i'm just making up a number but yeah that would be the thing that would be interesting to see though with because with the growth of women powerlifting and um you know just the the explosion in in competitors and the number of people participating um they could probably start to make a case for that sooner rather than later of getting something adjusted it sure sure looks like it uh the the data supports it i would say yeah so that was our uh open power lifting stat of the week another good one yeah uh we're gonna keep those rolling every week yeah thank you open power lifting and uh if you guys want to support the team um you can hop on the website openpowerlifting.org check out

their massive database find your name in it if you have any errors you can report them to them they would I'm sure love to get that fixed get that going for you they can link your Instagram handle and if you want to support them you can hop on their Patreon account and you know there's a few different levels

Fun part about this is we have a lot of reviews to go through. It's been a while since we've done it. Do we got to split split them up are we going to be able to get through all of them i mean we're we're 55 minutes deep right now dang we didn't even just so you guys know we didn't even get through everything like i know the things so tune in next week while we continue this conversation um the biggest thing i got to remember where we left off there's been so many but here's where i think we are and maybe i read this one one other time if so this person's just getting a bonus shout out nothing wrong with that this is a five out of five star review and it's titled awesome podcast and it's from nick underscore k51 and nick says been listening since day one and have

enjoyed every episode listen to the episodes every week at work, and usually will listen to old ones again, too, to make my workday strong. That's dedication. Yep, love the humor in every episode, which makes them different from a lot of other podcasts. Definitely my favorite to listen to, especially since it's from my hometown.

Ooh. I don't know who this is, actually, but it narrows it down quite a bit from our audience congrats on the huge success so far and can't wait to see how much bigger masonomics gets that's a good point bigger and better yeah bigger better yep um next one is from will underscore and i don't know how to say your last name, Will. I've seen your name before, and I know you've supported us through purchasing T-shirts also, and it's AJA. Is that?

Aha. I don't know. Okay. Yeah, we're going to mess that up. So we'll never get it right. Sorry, we don't know how to read your name, but thank you for supporting us and thanks for the view. And it doesn't let me see the whole title. You see that there, how it just trails off and there's nothing to click on?

But I'll tell you what the start of the title of his review is, The Wonderful World of Fab, dot, dot, dot. So it's probably like fabulously awesome podcast. You got to assume. Five out of five stars. This podcast is incredible. The guys are engaging, the information is stacked, and the banter is very entertaining. In Mastonomics, you'll dive into the action-packed world of textiles and apparel.

Who knew margin calculations, supply chain, and demand forecasting could be so interesting? I think I know what he's talking about here. On top of becoming an expert in textiles, you'll also learn an implausible amount about game theory as it concerns team assembly and draft techniques as well as the intricate and fascinating world of welding and metalworking. If these dumplings of information aren't enough to spice up massonomics brand of chicken

noodle soup for your soul they hit you with enough craigslist knowledge bombs to become a wheeling dealing bargain machine i should probably mention they also talk about picking up heavy things and setting them down as well as the people that like to do that sort of thing in competition keep up the great work that was an an excellent review. That was good. Yeah. He really did touch on some of our finer points there. Yes. Next one is from Sir Dodzilla, titled, Thank You, 5 out of 5 stars.

I could be wrong. I like that if there is. Do you like intelligently cultivated banter about hoisting various forms of mass? Do you also have an hour worth of chores that require some form of background noise? Well, this may be the podcast for you. I don't miss a week, and I actually pay attention at least bi-monthly

5 out of 5 stars from Martin Estes Estes I don't know how he exactly says that but Martin actually paid a visit to he made his pilgrimage to the Mecca of Masonomics Gym paid a visit to he made his pilgrimage to the Mecca he did make his honorary pilgrimage

yeah, so he got to get at least one lift in there maybe he came more than once, but he also got us a review here. So five out of five stars. He said, you know, thanks for what you do with your podcast and all the rest. You're doing a great job. Hope everybody keeps tuning in. You'll get a lot of good info, a lot of insights.

We'll see you next week, DJ. If you haven't left us a review, please do so we can bust out that DJ Khaled another one thing.

Because it feels pretty cool for us. We'd love to just keep firing away on the old button here. Another one. Is that a YouTube video that's just him saying? It is a three-second YouTube video. How many views does that have? Only 95, 95 000 our most viewed video has 10 000 so we're getting close yeah we're getting close to the video the picture of dj khaled i assume that's who that is and yeah just say him saying another one yeah uh but we are getting up there on the reviews like that was cool to see

that many podcast reviews uh let's see if we can repeat that for next week like another seven yeah that'd be awesome or even just one i challenge someone out there to leave it i dare you to leave us one but probably we'll even read it yes we definitely will i promise uh might take us a few episodes but we will get to it yeah and these are these are some good ones. They are. Many of these are going to be tough to beat. When you can reference the lift short joke. The lift shorts. The metal fabrication. The Kaz.

Whenever someone finds a way to make the Kaz joke about how Kaz, at the beginning of all of our YouTube video podcasts, he talks about how mass economics, getting strong, staying strong, all that stuff. Get your strength. Use your strength. Yeah. All good stuff.
