if you've uh just joined us from the massonomic podcast welcome welcome this is the unpaid and underrated podcast this is the nothing podcast about a lifting podcast about nothing we are the unpaid interns and members of the massonomics discord crew and this is our brand new podcast where we will talk massonomics lifting and interview fellow crew weekly. Joey, I heard you had a pretty cool experience with a hat today. Want to tell me about that? Yeah, even though we're not supposed to buy the hats. You know, today's the pilot episode. So first, I want to get into the idea of who we are. Because I'm Joey, obviously you're Keith. We have big IT, or we'll call him Nate for a little bit, Big Nate. He's here kind of

just checking up on us on our first episode. But I did have a couple things I want to go over. Thanks for throwing that to me. First things, what are you drinking? I have a Schweppes Orange Sparkling Water. Of course, it's orange because it's not only the best color, it's the best flavor, in my opinion my opinion now i also brought myself an orange i have an orange cream soda from pc up here in canada up down south up north northern southern canada um this thing actually tastes like creamsicles let me see that is that no and that's is that the pink one too you were saying no that's cream soda so cream soda's pink up here yeah that was one of the first things i ever messaged to the to the guys because i was listening to them i think big alex sent them some cream soda and they were going the pink cans really throwing me off and i messaged

them like do you not know that cream soda's pink up here and i think i blew their mind but they i don't know why we do that up here i think our shotgun shells are full of cotton too i don't know anymore that's the good stuff um yeah so we always talk about being recognized in our massonomics gear out in the world and up here in canada like it's got to be rare uh but today um my friend of mine jay was at uh some bar i've never been to in the city i live outside of the city but i was i'll come in my way out my way past because I haven't seen him in like months and I'm sitting there and I've got my sweater from the Arnold and then as soon as I'm getting ready to leave I put on my hat and I noticed earlier that the chef had a long beard I'd even commented like that guy has a longer beard than me and he comes by he goes oh hey massonomics hat don't see those very often and i'm like what like get over here and talk to

me um his name is big mitch uh instagram is uh sauce in my beard and uh he was saying like he used to lift he asked me where i lived he he did you guys would get a kick out of this he told me the big famous guy that he used to lift with here in hamilton and i was like uh-huh i don't even remember the guy's name he's like you ever heard of that guy? And I'm like, no, I'm not going to know any of these people. It's probably the most famous. It's likely the most famous Canadian lifter of all times. And Joey just doesn't know it. And if Joey would remember, then I could probably poorly explain to him who he is, but we'll have to wait for next week's episode to get that one. Yeah. Not a clue. I can actually message big Mitch and I'll ask him again,

but no, not a clue, but yeah, he recognized the hat. He says he'd been listening a while. He used to chat with Tanner and Tommy, you know, lifted himself for a while, but that was cool to actually get recognized. And I, I even said to him, like, like, are you caught up on the podcast? He says, yeah, yeah. I listen. I don't listen like in sequence, but I'll like dump every once in a while while I'm doing paperwork i was like oh i have the thigh tattoo and he gave me a blank look and i'm like like that's kind of been made fun of a lot like i think but that's all right that's

all right yeah that's that's like uh you know whole holy grail territory for you being should be able to be recognized for that you know there's not a whole lot of other crew that have that much distinguishing marks well in this case a literal distinguishing i permanently scarred my body that should be recognized i have a permanent scar on my body for massonomics discord crew it's like just asking to be be oh yeah that like that's all i would have wanted but yeah that was my like the day we record this podcast that happens after you know listening to the massomics for like six months so i assume that if he actually had known who you were from that you probably would have went on to say hey i'm assuming you've been following you know the the up-and-coming unpaid and underrated podcast i did but since he had no clue who you were to begin

with yeah i would have played that one by ear and if he had been like oh yeah yeah big joey and then it would have been that would have actually been significantly cooler but that that that sucker just uh isn't as niche as we are no and i did say i said you know we're recording a podcast just for the crew are you in the crew he goes no no i'm not a sporting member i'm like well you ever want to get in like all you do is go to the website but it's so worth it yeah i did bring it up and uh and the pod and what we're doing right now and he's not no no he's i mean he's i think i did uh contribute to a a a a newly found crew member joining the discord recently i want to say it was big hogan who i met at the uh the home gym con guy was talking to him in dms and he was

just talking about trying to get more involved in you know different things and i was like i recommended this and then like within a day or two there he was in the uh being welcomed as a new intern by tanner yeah that was pretty cool i remember uh i did the same with steve because he came to the arnold and he's having all this fun with us and i was like see what you're missing out on and yeah i remember that posted a picture of my brother's going see this man he's thinking of joining did it a picture of my brother's going, see this man, he's thinking of joining. Did it. That's more of my friend's money from economics. Well, we don't need it.

They do, right? Got to save up for those billboards. Rich get richer. Yep. Now, speaking of the rich get richer, we have a sponsor for our like nascent first ever podcast yeah uh tanner texted this over uh he was he was very eager to get it on you know he said it might be just a rough draft and next week's episode uh might have a different one but this is the one he wanted me to read first so here goes nothing uh this is brought to you by the Mastanomics Podcast. Hark ye goodly folk of listener's ear, I bring you news of wondrous cheer, of feats of strength and power rare, that make one's heart pound strong and fair. The Mastanomics doth call out

their challenge to those stout and stout, to lift the weights and ring the bell and prove their metal true and well their merchandise so fine and grand a testament of strength's command t-shirts hats and mugs you'll find a great way to show strength's kind thus to all ye in search of might to make your muscles grow and fight look no farther than the masonomic store where strength and glory is evermore. You don't learn English like that unless you go to Canada's best university, eh, Big Tanner? Yep. He's a prep graduate.

Now, do we want to get right into what we're going to do? Or do we want to kind of just spitball like or or nate do you want to jump in and start doing the thing like how do you feel this this should go yeah what's up guys hey welcome mr it guy what's up i prefer uh the term my official term according to uh massonomics lore and youtube video, stardom would be technical guy. That's right. That's technically a guy. I'm not sure if that was about my technical expertise or the questionability of my clothing.

I have no idea what that's supposed to mean, but that was the title I was given. So I'll take that and hold on to it um so yeah i'll hop on uh what i want to do is i want to let the viewers get to know you guys or the listeners i don't think we'll have any viewers on our audio podcast um but i want to get the the listeners some information about you guys ask some some questions. But before we do that, I figure everyone wants to know about myself. Big scants in the chat for our live podcast. It's a very active chat tonight. Very active chat tonight.

Titles me the chief unpaid intern. I thank you for that, for that title. Thank you. Is that one above mole? Is that like, that's a good, we should power rank

crew titles. The one with the tattoo, the chief. Wouldn't it be big chief? But then you'd be fighting the guy from Street Outlaws. We are all big here as well. When you're here, you're big. Just like Olive Garden. Sponsor us, Olive Garden.

Brought to you by Unlimited Breadsticks and refillable salads. For sure. Yeah, so real quick, Olive Garden. Brought to you by Unlimited Breadsticks and Refillable Salads. For sure. Yeah, so real quick, because everyone wants to know everything about me. Name's Big Nate. You might know me as the winner of the Lift Hard, Live Easy contest.

I won that a long time ago. I am known around these parts as the technical guy. If you're a supporting member which we didn't plug it earlier but massonomics.com join sign up to be a supporting member it's the most fun you'll ever have in your life it's a very active discord active discord active and listen if you're a supporting member say you're listening to this podcast like this sounds like a great time i want to get on that podcast become a supporting member maybe you get on that podcast we ask you some questions we let you talk about seltzer sounds like a great time we would highly recommend it to you guys so

hop on as a supporting member i'm a supporting member one of the things i do as a supporting member is i make a ton of bots that exist in our private discord. I fucking hate those bots. That give so much great information and content to everyone online. Exclamation point, days. Can we swear on this thing? I fucking hate those bots. Yeah. I think we can swear. Like you say hat plate and you get bombarded with 30 bots.

And then for me, it's just block message, block message, block message, block message. I do like the days ones though, because that's easier to come to the chat for the meet in July that everyone should be signed up for. Because it sold out four months ago. So hopefully anyone listening to this at least tried to sign up for it. We can just go right into the page for that and hit days rather than having to go to Google and figure it out. Yeah, there's some handy bots most of mine are pretty uh pretty hostile but i got some good stuff in there occasionally that's some good stuff in there hostile ai and we're really selling this disc yeah we're we're

running some hostile ai it's basically skynet up in the massonomics discord so be careful be careful a lot of uh hostile ai movies that tommy has not seen that's very true that's very true um he probably hasn't seen any of them quite honestly we know if he's seen terminator can anyone check the spreadsheet i know we've got one of those for that um but it scans on it he's really good with technology scans uh hit us up in the chat if you can find out if uh tommy's seen terminator um all right well, let me jump in. Let me jump into some questions for you guys. Shoot.

You want to round Robin? Do you want to call names? Do you want to just, like, are you going to ask Keith and then me, or should we just answer one at a time? You guys answer. Also, you guys can have your druthers. I'll answer the question in the first one. I like a good druthers.

Yeah, I'll ask a question, first one to druthers yeah i'll ask a question first one to answer maybe i'll mail you a piece of candy um so you guys started this podcast did not tell us at all about yourselves uh so i want to hear from both you give me just a little rundown on who you are what you do anything exciting about you that you want to share. If you don't want to share anything, that's fine too, but give us a peek behind the audio curtain. What do you look like even? We don't know what you look like.

It's just audio. Give us a nice description what you're wearing tonight maybe for the listeners to get that nice, beautiful word picture. This is just taking me back to 1997 where people are asking each other their, you know, age, sex, location, and the, the chat, you're getting very, you kind of want to get very descriptive with that. So I'll kick off here. My name is Keith Honeycutt. I'm pretty much, you know, been a big fan of Mass Longest for a few years now. if you're if you you know if you're listening to

this chat you probably already know me and follow me on instagram uh and you're familiar with uh my gym the no wine cellar where i was with all the orange equipment so that's kind of my uh main hobby outside of massonomic stuff is just uh you know home home gym equipment you know having that uh really nice space uh i need specific questions i'd suck i suck at this i'm gonna i'll'll let Joey go and then I'll shoot back in and build off of that. Cause I'm, you know, we're just getting our feet wet here. I'm Joey Malesko. You'll find me at Joey underscore MLE and I'll just come up. Cause there's like none of me out in the world.

I look generally like the type of guy you probably don't like at your gym. I have a long beard, I'm bald, and I'm a little fat. But I sometimes feel strong. So we're here talking about lifting sometimes. I am from down up north Canada. So I am south of Aberdeen, which is really funny, am south of aberdeen which is really funny uh but always up north because it's it's canada i don't have any cardinal directions because i'm just like smack in the middle of the country in between a bunch of lakes um yeah i've also been listening to massonomics probably for about 100 and something episodes uh came in because of big jonathan old. He posted a video and he had a poster, which is now Contraband Poster.

And I messaged him and I was like, that is the best. Can I get one of those? And I've been here ever since. That's what brought me into the Masonomics was that band poster. Yeah, buddy. Nice, nice.

Yeah, that reminds me. So yeah, I want to say, so during the pandemic, I was painting the house because it was laid off for a while. And I was running out of my normal go-to podcast. And I want to say that the guy that made the documentary on West Side, he was on the podcast and I was following him. And he was like, oh, I know this guy. Let me listen to this podcast. And just kind of got hooked from there on started listening to him live uh

basically so it's like march or april 2020 he was listening to him live and while i was also went back and started from like episode one so i was like simultaneously listening to the the new weekly ones while trying to bang out one or two episodes a day if i had the free time of the old ones finally got all caught up maybe like last year or so and then just recently actually started a complete re-listen uh so it's just kind of a weird perspective listening to all the original episodes like several years removed uh just how completely different it is but yeah I've uh just really big and a big fan of just their content in general but then also the community that we have built um I mean, we've, that they've allowed us to build the discord basically before, before the discord, I was probably, you know, Instagram

friends with like, you know, 15 or 20 guys via Masonomics by just seeing stuff that they got reshared, you know, something that Tanner would share of them. And then you'd go follow their page. And then, you know, once you start having two or three mutual friends and they just started getting suggested to you each other. So, you know know i did that for a while and the the discord kicked off and i was probably a little late uh adapter of that it was hard for me to justify the cost uh but then i was like man i'm missing out on so much stuff because like i don't get half of these jokes that they're saying in their stories uh or like some of the references on the podcast so once i finally got in the discord and you know pulled that trigger i was like just immediately within like the first couple days i was like damn, I should have done this six months ago when they finally kicked when they when they initially released it. So if anyone's still on the fence about joining, you know, that's it's, it's, you know, I highly recommend it. It's a very welcoming community. And there's, you know, there's not there's not very many assholes in the group, basically.

There's, you know, there's not, there's not very many assholes in the group, basically. And if there is like, that's fine. We let them host the podcast. Yeah. And we tend to keep them in check. I didn't say there was zero. What I kind of always enjoyed. And, you know, I talk about this a lot is I think it was the interview with Jen Thompson. Okay.

And they gave her overrated, underrated. And she had said, like, that's it. I thought this was going to be like my take on something political. And the way Tanner went, what? No. As if he was like almost disgusted with the concept. That is when I got hooked because social media for me has always been a little negative. And then suddenly like, wait a minute, there's a weightlifting world where we don't have to like go to war with the bar which i guess is another one that's your that's literally your favorite that's yeah that's i was gonna say that's kind of my other claim to fame is mocking the war with the bar folks yeah and absolutely yeah and just like wait i don't have to like

listen to that all the time we can have a silly time and i've kind of been here ever since and probably not going anywhere. I think my credit card expires at the end of this year and we'll see me get kicked out of the discord. Maybe I come back. So I have some experience with that. I've, I've, I've, I'm a man that loses his wallet every year, at least once. And then my wife like instantly cancels like six credit cards. And then I, you know, so I've had to,

I think at least twice in like the two or three years i've had to to re-enter a new credit card number but yeah like you they well they won't kick you out it's just kind of like you know it's it's it's a dick move to have your card expire and not leave the discord but you know it's just a matter of just you know re-signing up your uh card now i'll kick you out i'll do it i mean i i would i would i'll make sure our discord like yes anything i have power over keith's out i'll just do it now all right solid answers solid answers i got some more questions if you're already um i'll do i'll try to do better this time lifting hard living easy all right i want to know y'all's favorite lift what

is it gonna be uh uh you guys both follow me on instagram you know exactly that i live to deadlift um it is it was like would you say would you say that you would deadlift till you're dead i do love those i do love her um yeah honestly and it was like i first got into the gym because a friend of mine asked me um to to do a uh what do you call it an obstacle course like some mud hero course and we were looking around at a gym and there was a boutique gym down the road that had like free classes when you sign up. So my wife and I joined that one. And I just gotta be honest with you, I hated it. I hated the suicide bike.

I hated the treadmill. Like I hated all of the things this guy wanted me to do. And then I had a friend who, Big Steve, actually, who back in the day was a power lifter. And I said, man, I think I wanna learn how to deadlift. Can you show me? And like, if you could see the animation from that day, like the first time I dead, man, I think I want to learn how to deadlift. Can you show me? And like, if you could see the animation from that day, like the first time I deadlifted,

like my pupils dilated and I was just like, this is life, deadlift is life. And it's always been and will continue to be. The day I can't deadlift is probably the day that something else just happens where I'm just like, yeah, I'm not doing this anymore. Because even this week where i'm not feeling good you know only being able to deadlift 315 pounds made me sad like it sucked like i kind of ruined my day but being sick like i do what i can do and it's always funny because that was where i was going to stop you know i'll hit three plates

and like i weighed this much hitting three plates is almost double my body weight. I can stop there. That's a, that's not a, that's not any, that's, that's not a deadlift to mock at. And you know, you're a, you're a, a, a smaller gentleman. So, you know, that's, that's every bit of double your body weight. I I'm currently so heavy that I can't double my body weights, you know, deadlift anymore because I used to be able to, but not currently. But then I was like, I'll stop at three 15, three plates is a lot. And then as soon as I hit three plates, I was like, I think I could do more. And here we are. How about you Keith?

So currently deadlifts for my least favorite, uh, just cause it's just, I'm always ends up hurting myself doing some deadlift variation. Uh, oh man, that's a tough one between squat and bench. Like squat, I'll probably go with squats. It is my favorite. I think bench, I'm probably on the most, I'm having the most progress on bench right now. Me too. And I'm like getting the most, like I'm, I'm, I'm mentally rewarded with bench more right

now. Just because I'm hitting like small rep PRs here and there. But like squat to me is if I, so if the question is, if you can only do one lift the rest of your life, I'm squatting. Like I used to say deadlift, but now it's a hundred percent. I would do squat variations indefinitely. If you had asked me a long time ago, I'd agree with you. But then when I hurt myself now, I'm like afraid of squats.

So at my next meet, I'm only doing push pull because I'm so afraid I'm going to hurt myself that I was just like, I don't, I don't even want to attempt to build my squat right now. I think, um, squats for me are always my least favorite in the moment, but afterwards I always feel awesome after I squat, like I'm squatting today. This is awesome. And then like, Oh, let's do five reps. And it's like, this is the worst thing I've ever experienced in my life. And then you're like, I feel awesome. It's just like this progression that it's like, I can't wait. Wait, why did I do this? And then you're like, oh, no, that was great. Question about squats for you, too.

I was listening to a radio talk show because there aren't any other podcasts. There's only well, there's two podcasts. Just ours. Oh, OK. So we are going to talk about the other one. I mean, you know, their sponsor,

I feel like we should give them at least a little, a little nod. Um, so there's, there's only two real podcasts, but so I was listening to a radio talk show and they said, um, that post squat is when they're most horny.

I want your guys's take on that. Is that true or false? I'm horny 24 seven, dude. I want your guys' take on that. Is that true or false? I'm horny 24-7, dude. Okay, well, there you have that. No increase from squats? Yeah, I mean, that's usually a Saturday activity, not a Sunday activity. Okay. And I squat every Sunday.

Not for me at all. I never hate myself more than after a squat. Because, yeah, I mentioned I can do an easy 405, 450 deadlift, and then I can't squat more than 350. So there is never a time where I hate myself more than after doing a shitty, shitty squat. So maybe that turns some people on, but I don't think that's it for me.

I get some other people going. It's not me. No, I would say not in a sexual manner, but like just in general, I never feel more, shut up. I'm never, I'm happier if it, you know, squatting a PR to me means more than deadlift intervention a pr hands down

so in turns if that makes you happy and happy makes you horny then yes i can agree with that to some extent but you know i do feel that squatting is the most challenging uh i don't know this is the scariest one man i much rather you know drop a barbell because i can't pick it up off the floor then literally get crushed by 500 pound squat you know i'm always horniest after um bench press because um that's when i because of all the liftoffs well no just because that's when my wife finds me most attractive that's when i come up and i go hey honey how's this pump today gotcha gotcha that makes sense there's some sense to that and then go, Hey honey, how's this pump today? Gotcha. Gotcha. That makes sense. There's some sense to that.

I get it. Get the kids to bed. Nice. There you go. I didn't have that on the prep sheet. Pulled that one out. What lift makes you the horniest? We'll see if that one makes it into the,

into the main podcast. Pulling out is always helps. Yes. Of the meat or. Well, I, as someone who doesn't want to have kids don't call her that would make me horny basically i don't know man it's a it's a very roundabout joke you'll you'll come

to find out that my my uh so the side tantrum here i think i'm a lot funnier than some people might think i am and my my wife uh my wife one of my friends i think actually yeah i honestly can't remember now if it was my wife or my good buddy. I think it was my wife. I always say that I make a lot of puns. And then someone was like, no, you make, it's more like pun adjacent. Pun adjacent. Because they're like, they're so obscure that I think they're freaking hysterical.

But then people that aren't necessarily in the know or like don't get it at first. And it's like, God damn it. It's really funny. You just have to add like, you know, two and three and seven to get there but it's it's a little complicated but it's funny when you piece it all together hey jokes are a lot better when you explain them at bullet points if you ask me yeah here's my spreadsheet on why you fuckers should have laughed at that yeah i love that's that that's me to a t because i fucking have to explain my jokes and i love spreadsheets keith just has a google docs folder full of spreadsheets to explain his jokes.

This is funny because X, Y, and Z, fucker. Yes. Somebody doesn't laugh and he just starts fidgeting with his phone. Here, let me prove to you why there's a funny tag on it. All right. I know where you guys stand on this,

but I'll ask it for the listeners. Favorite type of garage basement house commercial a private crossfit box a garage gym what are we doing basement oh man to me it's that's plain and dead i i'm a i'm a basement gym lifter i always will be i see many benefits in a basement over a garage uh i just uh no no thank you to a garage gym for me i really don't care and i've made that kind of clear in the discord i i lift currently in my basement because that is where i can lift um i've already like said i went from the boutique gym to a commercial gym i actually had two gym memberships for a little while where I would go to one because they had a real deadlift platform and it was only 10 bucks a

month. So I would only go there to deadlift and then go to the boutique gym for everything else. And then once I told the story like three or four times today, I went to that gym and the only open bar and squat rack, there was a kid doing shrugs in it with the barbell he raced me there to take the spot on my deadlift day and that's was like that's it and i built a deadlift platform very makeshift it was honestly three pieces of plywood in my driveway so i deadlifted in my driveway but then when winter, I was still deadlifting in the driveway with a tarp over my barbell. Oh, wow. That's dedication there.

Yeah. And that's when it was like, should probably just move it in. And then we cleared up some spools. But like if I had a garage with, you know, a floor that could handle it, a heater, I would probably go out there because I think during the summer I would like to lift outside again. I do miss lifting outside. But I lift where I lift. I think if you start lifting outside again, you should try to do some Discovery deadlift.

I was just thinking that. I was about to say that. But it's just you going upstairs and outside. I might just go to Utah and party with him. Just go do some deadlifts out in the woods. It'd be worth it to go to Utah. And he's a good dude, so I don't think I would hate that at all.

Did you guys see Utah in the news in the last couple days? No, I don't use that website. What the news was on that? No, I don't use that website. Fill us in, Keith. Explain the news to us. Well, I mean, everyone knows what I'm going to talk about. So, basically,

Utah passed a law or is working on a law where they they want any pornographic site to have like a very in-depth age identification not just the i'm over 18 click yes thing they need you to like verify it somehow significantly more in-depth than that and pornhub pulled access to anybody with like a Utah IP address I believe so that is my Utah news for the day poorly explained Utah news you heard it here first that's interesting well I mean there's like

there's services that do that kind of thing I mean I don't think that would be a hard thing for anyone to implement technically we can get into the technical specifics of that do we want to no well like canada like you can't go to a beer website without putting in your date of birth but i think utah's government is trying to make it harder than that yeah well yeah yeah i mean it's the same thing in the u.s like all like alcohol websites and whatnot like there's a banner and you say yeah i'm 21 i can visit the site that's like yeah but like if you purchase like um like

the services are used a lot for like buying vapes online and stuff um so there's like a long lengthy thing where like you have to take a picture of your id and stuff like that so services exist out there wouldn't be hard but it probably would cost them money and businesses don't like to do that. I mean, it probably is hard if they're going to that website. Yes, yes. Good pun, Keith.

We'll let that one. Thank you. We'll keep that one around. All right. Just go ahead and crop out all the other ones. So strength sport of choice for you two um joey i know uh you're a big sandbag guy at one point in your life we're gonna stick with powerlifting are we gonna change it up um i currently enjoy powerlifting because that's what i have i do expect that there's going to be some strongman in my future except i'm like five foot five and like

170 pounds so i'm not gonna win any strongman but i do enjoy the sandbags because i have filled them up to be as round as possible i've got some dinny stone replicas um i think big steve is working on or i am working on getting a Viking press. So I do expect that there's going to be some strongman in my future. I just don't know if it's going to be something I compete in. But I do love picking up rocks. And I was actually thinking today as I'm driving, one of the things I do is randomly yell rocks whenever I see big enough rocks on the side of the road that I think I could pick up. rocks whenever I see big enough rocks on the side of the road that I think I could pick up.

So I think that there's some strong man coming, but powerlifting right now with the deadlifts and stuff is where I am. And if you want to hear what happens to big Joey and his strong man journey, tune in to the unpaid and underrated podcast to find out what happens. I'm curious of the, your potential biking for us. Would that be something that would be on the outside gym? Cause you don't have enough ceiling height for that in your basement, do you?

No, I don't. Uh, I do have some clearance enough that I can overhead press the barbell. Um, but I would have to see if the Viking press goes higher than that. Uh, I did get some crash pads. So there's going to be some outside work happening where probably just for circus dumbbells and some other stuff where maybe we're just throwing some weights around um so that was a good call on that but that might be why it goes in steve's house yeah there you go it's good to have other friends home gym especially if

they're close by that's uh very clutch yeah and keith um i'm a power lifter by you know trade basically like i put power lifting above my day job most of the times like i'm i just but it's kind of funny like i'm at work and i'm just constantly thinking about either my home gym or power lifting or something mesonomics related so i've i've been i think i did my first meet in 2017 maybe 2018 that was 2017 and uh i think i'm up like 12 13 14 meets something like that and definitely doing the doing the July meet in Aberdeen. And I will, you know, I'm going to power. I always used to say like, well, as long as I can still total a thousand pounds, because

even if I'm like 60, I should still be able to total a thousand. But like, I honestly think as long as I can get out, get out there and do something with a bar, like I want to fucking do a meet once a year for the rest of my life until I'm fucking dead and in a jar buried in ashes. That is pre-made it like I want to power live the rest of my life because i'm fucking dead and in a jar buried in you know ashes that is pre-made it like i want to power live the rest of my life because it's brought so many people into my life it's not just the going out there and competing it's like i've got 30 40 people in my phone book or on my instagram that i wouldn't know that i consider personal good friends now that i wouldn't know

without power lifting i wouldn't change that for the world that's dope uh cool great answers on the lifting hard section i got some some living wait wait wait wait what about we didn't flip that one back on you nah i don't need to answer that i mean uh i don't even lift you're a jack man what is uh i appreciate that um so nice garage gym going i've got. I have a gym that is in a garage. Oh, yeah, I guess I didn't talk about that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm a garage gym guy by trade. Tanner's been to your garage gym, I believe.

He hand-delivered a hat, I think, wasn't it? Oh, yeah, one of the hosts. Yes, one of the hosts. Yeah, yeah, I butchered that one twice today, sorry. One of the hosts. Yes. One of the. Yeah. I put that one twice today. Sorry. Correct. Yeah, they definitely have been there in person for sure. There's another thing you and I got big Eddie's been at both of our home gyms. Big Eddie's been been to mine a couple of times. But yeah, I bought a house with my wife and family. I bought a house with my wife and family.

I forget what year. I can't keep track of any of that stuff. And it had a detached two-car garage. When we bought it, I was like, I'd be really cool to put a garage gym in there when we were looking at it. And then we moved in, and within a week, I had found some stuff on Facebook Marketplace and put a garage gym in there. Because I was like, I'm tired of going to the daggum YMCA.

I'm getting a garage gym and getting out of that place. And it was worth every penny. And it's just been a downward spiral ever since then. Was that YMCA always out of toilet paper? Like a lot of them I've heard about? Dude, there was always toilet paper because I would walk into that place and get five minutes into my workout and it would just be go time.

I would lose so much time in the gym because I'm a morning workout person just by necessity. So it's just like, if I didn't get everything cleared out yet, it had to come sometime. Buddy, sometimes it would be like just driving just speeding to the ymca to make sure i could take care of business this is pretty dangerous to do that like it almost inevitably happens as soon as i put my knee sleeves on i put my squat shoes on

that's when i gotta go upstairs it's like damn it like this is so uncomfortable at least you're not like a multi-ply lifter and then you'd really be horrible you'd probably just shoot your pants it would be easier to shit your pants than to try to get that off and go to the bathroom. I think that's the way that goes. We'll have to ask Big Matt Sessney when we see him in July if that's what he does because he's going to multi-ply this meet.

Oh, I didn't realize that. Are there any other multi-ply guys competing? Not that I know of, but I also... I i mean we all pretty much follow at least like three quarters of the guys competing so at least out of our crew uh i don't think but i know there's probably at least i think tanner said it was basically like 40 some crew and then like 20 ish like local people people and his gym members. Cool, cool, cool.

Living Easy. Since this is our first podcast episode, I'm going to play a little game called Have You Seen It? And we're going to go through some movies. So the first movie, Have You Seen It? Captain America, the first Avenger. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I'm sure. That's one that came America, the first Avenger. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I'm sure.

That's one that came out in the last, like, 10 years. I think I've seen every Captain America, even the one that came out in, like, 1992 that was probably direct-to-TV. Released 2011, so yes. Yeah, 100%. All right, next movie on the Have You Seen It list. First Man. No. That sounds so familiar what is that i have no idea i just have a list of movies with the name first first man i got oh yeah uh a look at the life of the

astronaut neil armstrong in the legendary space mission that led him to be the first man to walk the moon on july 20th 1969 released 2018 i remember this yeah the ryan gosling movie yeah i've seen that's fiction for sure fiction yes that was classified as a fiction movie yes that's why i love imbd similar to spreadsheets i track everything on there so i gave it a 6 out of 10 at some point in the last few years perfect perfect perfect um all right let's uh i got one more let's do rambo first blood part two absolutely first blood part two first of all one of the dumbest names in rambo history first blood part two uh but yeah i have seen it didn't love it didn't love it i think i think to that so like the original movie wasn't called rambo it was

just first blood uh there wasn't rambo first blood and then the sequel would have that's when they incorporated rambo first blood or part two i might not even is it i just i know the first movie is called first blood not rambo and i think the second one's just rambo too i want to say it's called i want to say it's rambo first blood so and then i'm looking at it is it really i'm looking at it now on imdb we've got first blood and then rambo colon first blood part two no you're right it's just called first blood that movie the original is legit amazing yeah and i was telling somebody today just how good sylvester stallone is when he's allowed to do what he wants to do right well good rocky was how good that rambo movie was um whenever he is

allowed to create and and build a character he makes fantastic characters all right i gotta slip one more movie in here um because i just gotta know uh the human centipede parenthesis first sequence have you seen it yeah I have not that seems like the perfect movie I had to I know of it but no I didn't google that one I'm a horror movie guy like horror movies are my thing I have once a week

where I go watch horror movies where I put my headphones in and my wife doesn't have to watch them and I did sit through that. I sat through that movie. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And enough that I did not watch any of the sequels because there was no way that that stupid premise could go any further.

I don't think it did. Crazy they made more of them. Yeah. All right. Last lifting easy or living easy question um if you were a flower what would you be and why jesus this is my question i think that i put in there i'd love to hear keith's answer and nate's i oh man i don't uh i've been thinking about this all day i've been i know this is horrible i didn't i wish my answer I wish I saw that when I would have put some thought into it

preemptively, I'll let Nate go I gotta think I'm not answering this question, I'm the interviewer yeah, that's true, damn it, so well Joey just said his question, so he's flipping it on you oh man, I I just know so many flowers that I just can't pick one

I resent flowers with a passion i just want to hate flowers so okay so growing up my parents were obsessed with their flower beds and their flower gardens so i spent summers of my days of my childhood spreading mulch planting this moving that trimming that i just don't i have an appreciation for created landscaping and you created life and biodiversity so and also in my defense the last 10 years we've had a cat which has recently passed but we couldn't have like pretty much every flower that you would put in the house is deadly to a cat so just in the last three months we've actually been getting uh i think my wife likes daisies or lilies i i don't know i buy them every every couple of weeks, whatever she likes. That's, that's my answer. Whatever my, uh, I'll ask my wife and I'll

answer next week, whatever she likes. But, and it's bad to go. My mom works at the floors for like 10 years and I was in high school when I was a kid. So I just, I don't know. I just, anything that you're forced to do as a kid, I've resented against and rebelled against and flowers and landscaping and like decorative stuff like that i just i i went the other way i love how triggering this innocent question was for you oh i'm so happy i put that in there oh dude you're just unpacking childhood trauma in here considering we're gonna yeah we have this game we like to play this podcast has to go at least seven years and a couple months to to beat the other guys so you're gonna find so many things that trigger me uh and that I can talk about and go and rants about.

And, you know, that's going to be half the fun is there's going to be therapeutic for me because I'm going to be able to vent to people that don't really care and want to listen. But I'm going to take the, I'm going to use this platform to vent periodically. Starting a podcast cheaper than therapy. So my answer is daffodil

because I don't think anybody's ever been mad when they see a daffodil because that is the happy flower when you see it you know the weather's turning spring is coming the pollinators are out it's going to be a daffodil because they're the happiest flower well that is a very positive outlook it's a a good looking flower. Are you a very optimistic human? Like in general, would you consider yourself optimistic? No. By nature? No, but I will say that. That's cool that you can find the value and stuff like that.

Well, I'm training myself to be. I have always typically been a cynical and negative person, but I'm sick of being a coward. So I want to start taking a more positive approach to things. And I said it in my Instagram stories and I think some of you watched it, just the idea that being negative and being cynical all the time is easy because it feels good to be validated when something goes wrong. You get to say, I told you so once out of every 10 times, but being the 90% positive person,

there's never that validation. It just is the way that it's supposed to go and nobody cares. But to be the positive person that sees that aspect and supports that aspect is the harder take to have. Being able to go, oh, I told you this wasn't going to work. Shut up, asshole. Like that you're not helping, but you feel good about yourself. I don't want to do that anymore. So I would say that, no, I am not a positive person, but I am training my brain to become one.

That's admirable. I can respect that. I think we, I think we honestly, we could, anyone on this podcast or listening to this podcast could probably, you know, see some value in that and take a little piece of that and kind of implement it in their daily life. I know I could, I'm, I'm a, I'm a hundred percent a pessimist and i'm very much of it's going to rain every day and you're fucking stupid for thinking that the sun's going to come out kind of thing and i need to work on that i need to be better about that it's just uh you know i'm i'm that's one thing i'm you know i just having this weekly podcast and being able to shoot the shit with our buddies i think that's going to just i don't get a whole lot of interaction like this like being able to talk to two or three guys on for you know an hour or so a week like i don't get that where people actually

kind of get where i'm coming from or at least we're a community we're part of the same thing so just being able to have this little like powwow once a week i'm extremely looking forward to this you know for any episode i'm on daffodils yes daffodils i had to google that very pretty it made me smile my wife is my wife is also a florist like your mom was and i feel like i should be able to answer this question more yes you should you better like i got nothing i like uh i like tulips shout out what calvin has told me i don't know tulips are cool um my Calvinist homies. I don't know. Tulips are cool. What's your wife's favorite flower? At one point, it was a David.

I think they were not David Austin. They were like David something roses. Dave and Buster's. Yes, Dave and Buster roses. Brought to you by Dave and Buster's. And I, when we got engaged, I tried to like find these roses to like use when I was proposing. And I went to the floor. She was working out like the owner.

And I was like, hey, I'm trying to find these. Like, don't tell Kayleen. But I'm like trying to find these. Can you help me? And she's like, those are so much more expensive than you want to spend. Here's like the cheap knockoff version. Get these instead. And I was like, thank you so much.

But yeah, i don't know that makes sense that that tracks i think everyone's wife's favorite anything is the most expensive obscure hard to find you know most valuable thing that is only 0.5 better than the thing that costs one one hundredth of that and will die fast at least someone who's been married for 15 years like that's how my life is and it will die faster yes i just won't take care of i don't know my wife's been getting into like um uh plants that don't need as much maintenance which has been pretty cool i might put her on to the aberdeen growers club or whatever it's called see if she can get any info she's got to get a whole she's gonna get never mind you it it's all just harkens back to that big dick cactus sitting in my living room right now

i don't i keep every time i sit next to it and my wife tries to talk to me i'm like how do you expect me to listen to you with this giant nine foot penis shaped cactus beside me it's things like nine not nine feet it's like 12 13 inches long looks just like a big giant dick now with like a cactus like those kind of like go towards the sun a little bit right with the day sort of so do you did you ever like just sit in the sun so it kind of just like points at you and you kind of feel good about yourself because it because it squatted that morning and it's morning yes callback i love callbacks are the epitome of funny like I will you know that's that's that's me in a nutshell that's what that's what made me so good that show um cool well hey I've got

some real-time follow-up for us cool um real-time follow-up uh about the terminator movies shout out to uh scantz in the discord live chat um he says that tommy has for sure seen terminator 2 but only alluded to seeing t1 on the chad wesley smith episode which is episode 342 so it's unconfirmed if he's seen the first Terminator movie, but one would assume if he's seen the second one, he's probably seen the first. I don't know. I saw the second one before I saw the first one for sure. Yeah, the second one came out in

like 95. The first one came out in like 84 or something. Maybe the second was whatever. There was like a 10 year gap and Tommy's probably younger than me. So he would have he would have had to like rent it at a video store. It would have been like a 15 year old movie for him to have seen it probably uh like as a kid like before seeing the sequel uh speaking of Chad Wesley Smith though did I miss like any content because like they said that they were going to like film content while they were out there did Chad put something out I just they didn't I didn't never see it because I don't

think like that was pre them doing uh it was pre the the host of the other podcast actually putting out any youtube content regularly um but i just i remember seeing the discord that like chad came out with a camera guy and they were supposed to record stuff did that not happen or did i misremember that i think chad did some vlog stuff okay on his like channel or maybe on juggernaut something or another i just don't remember seeing that maybe uh maybe big tanner will send us a link yeah i keep dropping the names i don't know who this yeah i'm ruining the damn joke someone from the podcast one of the hosts one of the hosts well we were supposed to have a fourth guest on this week but he just didn't answer his phone so tune in next week maybe we'll be able to get big matt on here i don't know yeah i tried to call

him before we started and i just got voicemail. We'll give him a call on, on the recording next time to see if we can get them on. Yeah. Hopefully he gets, hopefully he gets out of that shed and gets ready to answer some questions for it. Yeah.

Maybe it's like one of those sheds with the tin roofs. There's probably not like a, you know, good cell reception or whatever. That must be the issue. And I do agree with scantz on that. What would you agree with him? Why would...

Keith's afraid to put it into the world. Afraid to say it out loud. Scantz said it, so I'll just read, so Scantz read hashtag fuck Matt on our private Discord, and I don't know if Matt's in, because he's not, you know... No Matt on our private Discord that I don't know if Matt's in because he's not, you know. No, Matt's in here. I don't know what you're talking about.

That's how we try to get him onto the podcast. Oh, yeah. I think he just blocks us. Scantz has hashtag fuck Matt, so I don't know if it's going back to the picture that I posted earlier, which it kind of looked like there was some stuff going on or what. I'm not sure where the fuck Matt came from there was some, some stuff going on or, or what,

I'm not sure where the fuck Matt came from. That's, that's very, uh, well, I mean, it is scant. He is,

well, he's 74 now. So, I mean, he is in the home. I'm not sure how he even is reading this right now because he still has Blackberry from the nineties. Like,

like, I'm not sure how he's even seeing this, but I guess we'll let it go this time. Scant. One thing I got to point out, we were talking about being a little more positive and I do love a good ribbing, but here's the thing,

and I'm going to come to Scantz's defense because he's a fellow Canadian. Learned this in wrestling. Chris Jericho taught you this message or taught you this lesson. He said, never ever talk about your opponent being old because there's only two outcomes that come. You either beat an old guy or get beat by an old guy.

You don't look good in either of those. It's true. And I would never beat an old guy if his name was Scantz. I'd for sure get beat by that guy. That I learned. That was a good Chris Jericho lesson. That is a, that is a, I much rather take advice from Chris Jericho than Chris Benoit. So that is very valuable information.

Oof. That was maybe a little too, maybe a little too harsh. Yeah, that one, that one, that one just fell on dead air. Sorry. Sorry, guys. I'm going to give out their Instagram handles and all that jazz where you want to find us. So again, this is Big Keith.
