Hey everybody, welcome to 826th episode of the Unpaid and Underrated Podcast.
Podcast by crew, for crew, relentlessly mocked by crew, and me being sick every week.
Crew.
mocked by crew and uh me being sick every week crew so i'm only like half sick this week so i kind of sound like myself but like not like like i can go into like sexy voice sick sexy voice but
i'm not gonna really i am gonna do that kermit the frog voice
did you see the one where i was doing the Oh god I can't remember her name now
Let's finish this intro
I'm Big Keith
And we're joined this week by Big Jordan Wong
So tired
I'm not even that medicated this week
So I can't promise
I'll be as funny
Yeah Big Jordan Wong Got him on here got keith on here
we're doing a live uh let's get dived right in um jordan i see that you were drinking the biggest
bottle of water i've ever seen yes it's called a gallon yeah gallon of water shit the goad
yeah yeah i was i've been at um lego land with my daughter the
past two days so i haven't been drinking shit except for the six dollar bottles of water they
have at the park and but a lot of them but it doesn't equal a gallon and so i'm thirsty as
shit right now yeah totally out of routine you know and probably broke because i imagine anything
you're paying like seven dollars for like a 12-ounce bottle of water
or something. Oh, yeah.
Popcorn is like $7.
Pretty much anything is a minimum of $7.
I got a...
She got an ice cream today. She just likes vanilla ice cream.
So,
they made like a milkshake at the park
I was at, and she doesn't like any of the shit
in there. So she's,
I just want the vanilla.
So I paid $10 for a cup of vanilla ice cream.
That's good stuff.
Fuck it.
Right.
Yeah.
What we do for daughters.
Yep.
Well,
I'm rocking out the liquid death this week.
I pretty much ran out of everything in the house.
So I went out and a little,
a grocery grocery store run and got about a month's worth of random stuff.
So Liquid Death buried alive.
And this must be the new tall boy because I swear this is definitely like a third bigger than the last one I had.
That's actually why I can't do Liquid Death anymore.
It's so much water.
What is Liquid Death?
So it's just a flavor. It's a sparkling water just named.
Oh, it's a sparkling water?
Yeah, I mean, it's just it's right up there with bubbly and like you know all the other you know like for
somebody i can't think of any other names but yeah it's it's a good it's got a deep robust flavor
it's whereas a lot of the other ones we would like to joke and say they are a flavor uh what
flavor adjacent or something like that or you know whatever funny thing we say. Essence. Essence, yeah, yeah, yeah. But liquid death's actually like, it tastes more like soda-y, I guess, than, you know,
it just has a lot more flavor.
I'd like to try it.
I've always seen it at the gas station.
People always think it's just like booze or pre-workout.
It's a $4 bottle of sparkling water, but it's pretty good.
Well, I actually prefer the unflavored.
I actually, I didn't like any of the flavored ones I had, but it's also,
yeah,
like it's like,
it's a sleeve of water.
Like it's like the size of my head.
Like it's so much.
Um,
I've got a red Fox going because of course I do.
I ran out of sparkling water.
What's that?
I don't know what that is either.
Ah,
a red Fox is, um is a beet infused ale.
Sounds like shit, but okay.
Oh, it's delicious.
Because it's the sweet part of beets with a taste of the earthiness.
It's not dirt beer, but it's close.
I'm that beer guy that I'm assuming someone like you would be like,
oh, you drink piss water.
Something like that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Uh,
to an extent,
I like my,
I used to be really into craft beers,
like really in.
And then like,
I was just like,
no,
I don't care.
Just give me what I like now.
And it's,
this one is here from Ontario.
And then I have my Keith's Keats,
which is from out East.
Otherwise I'm drinking like Coors banquet.
Right.
Like I don't.
And then sometimes,
sometimes we get into that.
We actually call it grapefruit farts here on this podcast.
Like when it's like hoppy where it tastes like the asshole of a grapefruit.
Right.
Yeah.
That's like shit.
Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The juicy IPAs and stuff. asshole of a grapefruit right yeah that's okay it's like shit yeah yeah yeah yeah the juicy ipas
and stuff like some of them are okay like when they're more heavy on the citrus but then they
just get weird like i'm a i'm a firm believer that people don't actually really like that stuff
oh yeah we're like really like it yeah they just make sure everybody can see them drinking it yes yeah this one this one's more of a it's sweetened with beets so like it doesn't have that that kind
of flavor to it it has that um like what like beets have their own sugars in them that are just
amazing i like beets right i like earthy tastes like my cigars i like them earthy
um you know my coffee i prefer if it's a dark
roast, especially an African dark roast
that has that kind of
earthy flavor to it. This really suits
my palate.
It suits my palate.
What?
I prefer my Bose headphones and my Apple AirPods
over the Beats.
Okay.
Jordan got it.
I got it. Yep. Power to the people in the
beats. My jokes aren't funny.
That was pretty fucking good.
What are you wearing this week,
Big Jordan?
What am I wearing?
What shirt are you rocking?
I don't have a Masonomics shirt on. I didn't get to change it.
That's close enough.
Well, it's a live large shirt i
wore today to have a pig world and they have had a collab with yeah yeah they're they're massonomic
adjacent so that's yeah so we've all got we've all got some of their stuff yeah i just got home
from everything so oh hopefully you didn't have to cut anything short for us but we appreciate you being here of course not
I'm rocking out the new Masonomics
strength is a number
weight is a number
strength is a number
strength is a number shirt
strength is a number heavy is a feeling
I don't even have that shirt and I know what it says
I have it on a hoodie and a shirt
I just sometimes words don't
sound the same in your mouth as they do in your head what it says oh yeah i well i have it on a hoodie and a shirt i just uh sometimes words don't uh
sound the same in your mouth as they do in your head uh i'm wearing the shirt that mike van wick
sent me um when i ordered the last drop he like doubled up something on your right or something
like whatever this dude must think i'm tiny so at the arnold he gives me a 3x sweater right which i
did i appreciate it like i'm not knocking it at all
it's so cool he even does this stuff so at the arnold he gives me a 3x sweater and i was like
well i guess i gotta get bigger so then i order a large hoodie in the drop and he sends me an xl
shirt and i'm just like this like mike just thinks i'm small yeah he's he's hinting at something but
it's just got his face on it it's it's one of the ones from the Olympia that he must have had left over.
He gave them up to everybody.
But I wanted to be comfortable and cozy in my Too Big shirt today.
Did you guys get a chance?
Did you get a chance to listen to this week's episode?
Anybody?
I consumed it, yes.
With CT Fletcher?
Yeah, I listen to that.
I actually usually listen to them on YouTube on Sunday nights.
Oh, nice.
Sunday nights are typically when I finish up the last of my work I have left.
And I always listen to stuff while I do stuff because, I don't know, it's just what I do.
And about 7 p.m.
Every Sunday night, it comes out.
So it gives me something new.
And I usually don't finish it until the next morning.
Took me two days.
That's fair.
I consume a lot of it.
I think one thing we did forget to cover, but you probably know it just from the, you know, listening to a few of our episodes. We do rate each Mastinomics episode on a scale of one to five of massonomics gym ipod touches
so you had if you had to give it a rating uh what would you give it this week uh on the
massonomics ipod touches five that's a good rating that's a very good rating we'll go with that uh
so yeah i enjoyed it uh ct is always a fun listen i think i've listened to a couple podcasts enough
him probably maybe i can't even remember,
but it definitely consumed a lot of his YouTube content.
That's kind of hard to recall what's been YouTube and what's,
you know,
podcast,
but all the car talk was fun to listen to.
You know,
anytime the boys are there having a good time,
you know,
I thought CT's grandkid,
you know,
being in the room and climbing over him and keep asking him for shit.
Like half the episode was really amusing. And how I just kind of like, he was just like, you know, he kept room and climbing over him and keep asking him for shit like half the episode was really amusing
and how I just kind of like he was just like you know
he kept like telling him to like kind of he
didn't at no point was like an asshole to his kid or anything
like that it was all just like you know you know
grandpa's trying to do something but it was very
like calm and collected like where you wouldn't
think you think CT would be kind of like
what are you doing get off me so that was just
I got a kick out of that so
go ahead and give CT's episode five massomics gym ipod touches this week uh yeah go ahead oh sky i liked
it because he was like the youtube one of the first youtube guys i i didn't really watch all
of his stuff i used to always see him in all the videos and things like that so it's cool hearing
him like on an actual episode talking about shit rather than
just screaming at the camera yeah i've met him a few times at different events he was actually
just here in uh florida at one of the expos at a meet i was at same demeanor like not very loud and
totally different you know youtube and over your life thing but i guess that happens a lot right
oh yeah for sure well i think he's like
he's gotta be like i was gonna say he's gotta be damn near 70 right or at least he's on the spot
now so yeah i'll say what about you joey what would you what would you uh definitely enjoyed
the episode i love ct i wish i could just hear ct read books i think he's just got such a voice
yeah like he just has such a voice that like he would
just anything he tried to teach you you would absorb um yeah the grandkid stuff was great
i really enjoyed the well what did your mom say she said yes well then the answer is yes
and it's like it's cute that you believed the kid like good work for you ct um the car talk
was really funny because i don't know anything about
cars and when i was messaging my brother and i was like hey um i was telling the guys about your car
and he's like oh impress them by telling me them you know all this and i was like i'm not gonna
lie to everybody like i don't not gonna pretend i know anything about your car so that was really
funny um not getting mentioned for the hall of fame because i was like right after you
so they mentioned four names and then i was fifth yeah and i was just like that's fine everything's
fine i mean we got next week so yeah we got our own hall of fame chat right we got our own stuff
to talk about there and uh yeah so i'm gonna have to go ahead and give that five massonomics gym
ipod touches i think that's a pretty reasonable rating that's good so it sounds like they got uh
five out of five across the board on your uh still your motherfucking massonomics gym ipod
touches so that's good stuff yeah kevin make sure you uh record all that makes like we're not skewing
anything there. Sure.
What about any of the YouTube videos?
The full blog,
I think came out Friday.
So we would have missed it when we recorded last week. And then the Meg squats came out a couple of days ago,
just like a short little,
you know,
like five minute thing with the,
which I really enjoyed this.
I really enjoyed that.
They were able to actually get out like that.
The crew that you,
you know,
people that made it to the Arnold were able to actually like hold the
fort down literally for probably,
I don't know.
I was like a half hour, hour, however long they actually went and were able to go like mingle and do stuff.
I would, I think it was, I would say it was about an hour.
Cause I think most of that was recorded on Saturday and Sunday.
So the Saturdays when I was there and, um, I was in and out.
Um, I kind of just said like, I'm here to help sell stuff, but I don't want to touch anybody's money.
Like that was my rule.
Like I will help you sell.
I will close.
I'll do all of that.
But when it comes to actually exchanging money, I'm going to ask for help because like, you
know, it's like when you're a bar back, like you'll help, but I don't want to be responsible
for shortages.
Like I don't want to, I don't want anybody to accuse me that I ended up eventually tagging
in on that.
But that's what we did.
Right.
Like two of us would stay at the at
the booth the whole time so they could just out right and i think they interviewed meg on the
saturday because that's when i got told she's crew with a little nudge nudge wink wink from tanner
like you know she's supporting right nudge nudge wink wink um so i did watch that one uh not enough
not enough crew in this one i think the first one
they did had was like mostly crew centered and this one was mostly like arnold centered yeah so
naturally i just missed seeing my friends on camera but i did oh i did actually watch them
i almost never watch them jordan i almost never watch these youtube things usually it's just me
explaining the youtube video to the other two guests like 80 of the time it's like so this this happened
and then that happened so uh what about you jordan jude if you're watching their podcast
on sunday i can imagine you at least watch some other youtube video content yeah yeah so i saw
the meg squats one first um i've known megan a long time so like when she first burst like burst onto the scene she was like the female social media
power lifter for sure honestly i don't even know if she didn't meet yet when she got popular or
maybe she just did her first one but yeah like we've known each other a while so i of course
if i know someone i usually watch it when it pops up my feed um i think it's funny because i've
always thought she looks like emily blunt
from uh that movie they had to be quiet the quiet place yeah yeah yeah yeah i agree whatever
you refer to her as my in my head and then the actual vlog i did not finish it that was
for sure it was a bit was a big one so it's been 24 minutes usually what i do is i have a
whole bunch of things on youtube i watch i'll watch it until i'm doing like i don't and then
i'll x out of it and then find it later on and finish it i have like seven different things in
queue all the time good stuff yeah i i watched you know i watched pretty much watch most of them
as they drop or you know whenever i get the chance so uh you know
it's always cool seeing the arnold stuff and uh just first i i don't that's definitely the first
time i've seen meg in a while like i don't i don't know that i see her in my feed very often
honestly anymore so it's kind of good to see she's out there still doing her thing so just had a kid
yeah yeah i know it's just weird like it's as people that we follow i've been following people
for almost a decade now probably that have like our fitness people so the people that used to be like like as people's path
progresses you know it's just like it's weird uh you know when you kind of do catch back up with
them like okay so this is what you're doing now it's like you're still into fitness but you're
you know doing your own i mean not that she's she's just not doing the same content she did
10 years ago basically you know it's just morphed into whatever it is.
She's definitely helping women put barbells in their hands,
so that's not a bad thing at all.
From what I can tell, she's definitely shifted more to a general population type thing and is obviously very business-minded in what she does.
Yeah.
I think it's great.
Yeah, it's smart.
If you're going to do this for a living,
if you're going to be for a living you you know you know if you're gonna be in a personality and
selling your programs and having your um she has a whole supplement line too
so it's like you know it's all got to be centered around the brain to make money because she's not
she's not doing this for the shits and giggles like we are she's actually got to you know pay
her bills it was funny as one like we're talking about this in a positive manner, but you ever noticed when someone like her or really anyone,
they start to get good at that.
People just talk shit on them about being like a promoter or influencer or
whatever. It's like, they're making a living doing what they like to do.
Shut the fuck up.
Yeah.
Yeah. As long as they're not like grifting, right?
Like they're not out here eating testicles and claiming Natty and all that shit like that that's a grift yeah i mean i think liver king is a i
think he's very smart like but so like to me right like i get it he lied and whatever but
i don't think anyone actually believed in terms of no god i almost felt like that was the gimmick like i felt
like the gimmick was saying he did all this shit and i had no idea he actually sold supplements
until that whole um like exposure happened like up until then i was like this guy is everyone
talking about him he makes a point to say he doesn't take anything but i feel like he's doing
it on purpose to get
people talking like i feel like that was the game like i thought it was a gimmick so like
i don't think many people actually thought he ate just the raw meat and that's how he got jacked
i mean that's all i got yeah i i mean there's a lot more levels to him too right like the whole you know me and my queen
sleep in a darkened room with dampeners that no electricity can get through like that kind of
stuff where he was like i'm so primal but i'm a millionaire like stuff like that that yeah yeah
like yeah the whole thing so i never really said like oh what an idiot like he's lying to us i just figured everyone kind of
realizes he's lying realizes he's lying and he just went with it and capitalized like he was
at the ufc fights in miami the other night like someone uh like down on the floor like don't think
he was eating raw meat there yes everywhere he goes he's just eating he was right next to Donald Trump
who was also
eating raw meat
yes
Keith you got a fun
being in Canada I don't get any fun stuff
nobody wants to ship shit to me
so you get all the fun stuff
maybe yours is just coming
but I will send out a disclaimer
anyone that wants to send anything that actually is going to make it on the podcast as a, you know, a sack segment, like you got to put somewhere on the header, like unpaid or underrated or like I know you can put like a title or something or just add it to my name.
Just do you and you do my name because like I'm going to open an email I get.
So like this would have been an hysterical blind sack segment.
We're going to go into it as a sack segment that I already know, but it'll be a blind one for Jordan, I guess. So, Big Jordan, I got a
gift from one of my fellow crew, I'm assuming, an anonymous gift.
It's from dicksbymail.com. So, I got a bag
of gummy bear dicks.
So, I guess I'm going to eat the first dick on this podcast
and, you know, down the hatch.
I have a story.
Okay.
I have a story.
So this is very ironic.
So four years to the, like, have you guys been kind of like following me for like at least three, four or five years or so?
Yeah.
Yeah.
So four years.
Maybe not Joey, but I've been there.
Yeah.
four years of the day maybe not joey but i've been there yeah four years of the day today was the first day i opened up my home to everyone during the covid shutdowns the house along thing
and i had some pain in the ass neighbors i had neighbors right next door and then a guy down
the street and everything's public record so once this went to the whole like city and i had to like
go in there hearing court
bullshit.
I got the public records,
saw the emails and who complained and all that.
So the guy who started this all,
I call him,
um,
fuck.
So it was someone's dad,
his email,
someone's Dalton's dad.
So Dalton's dad's a bitch.
Um,
so I have their address,
their name and everything.
So I sent them a bag, their name and everything.
So, I sent them a bag, like, that exact package.
I wanted to do much worse, but, like, I didn't.
I think this is, like, this is good.
This is, like, funny.
Because, like, I've said it before, I think.
If someone ever sent a box of shit to my house, I'd, like, punch them in the face.
Like, it would, like very um not not professional and like my wife even said like she'd be super offended and extremely pissed off so never don't ever send shit to my house but gummy bears that look like
dicks that's fucking hysterical so yeah i was in this guy's house yeah like well that guy sounds
like he might have earned it but like i didn't yeah no you didn't but yeah i thought about that
there there's a website with
a whole bunch of stuff you can do and like you can they send out like cow shit to people and
all this other crazy stuff so like that was that was an option but i didn't do it i was saving that
for later on but i got around to it someone sent my boss uh a big chocolate like a literal like like an eight inch chocolate dick once
and he was he was stupid enough to fucking uh like give it out at like a uh i guess every month they
had like a sales meeting and whoever had the lowest sales he fucking gave him the chocolate
dick and then eventually they got fucking written up for that because it's extremely unprofessional
but uh one of my friends he works in a work setting, and I had to mail him something one day.
And me and him go back.
We used to talk shit to each other all the time.
So he was talking shit to me about something at one point.
I had to mail him something.
So I put it in a big box.
And for some reason, he always had a sense to his work.
So I put discountdildos.com as the return address.
That's good stuff uh but to close out on the bag of dicks i appreciate whoever sent it it was funny i'm assuming it was crew if not like that's even weirder yeah i hope that was just like somebody
that just plain don't like you yeah i'm thinking it was a day honestly i think it was a david
because it was a test to David.
It was like my full name, David Keith.
Yeah, that sounds...
Yeah, one of the Davids.
Yeah, because I think that's part
of the bit is that it was a David, but maybe not.
I don't know. But either way, it was funny. I had a good time
with it.
It actually tasted like shit, though. It wasn't a very good
gummy bear.
That was not his favorite gummy dick.
He's apparently tasted better.
It didn't have a catheter in it, so, you know, it was all let down.
Oh, I forgot about that.
That's a harken back, so.
Good stuff.
Well, I got to meet this weekend.
I'm freaking half sick, so I'm hoping I can just power through and not, you know, just will myself not to allow my wife's cold to like take over my body uh you know so far so good
kind of feel like shit got one more day of work and then it's usa pl meet so it's uh you know it's
the though they run two set they'll run two sessions so it kind of sucks that i gotta i
can't lift to like 2 30 in the afternoon where i'm used to doing like all the meets up well not all
but historically i do meets i'm like okay cool it's nine o'clock i'm like squatting my third attempt
right now already or something and now it's like okay fuck it's it's it's like fucking three o'clock
afternoon i'm taking my first squat it's very weird to me i just i'm used to a morning meet so
but this is like i think the third usap meet i've done that have had this had that same setup so
like at this point i get it but it, but it's just not what I prefer.
Two sessions.
It's two sessions. My session only had like 30 lifters.
Two flights of like 14.
I already know, personally, a couple guys dropped out,
so it would be a quicker meet.
Ideally, three, four hours max, hopefully closer to three. Yeah, that'll be a good time.
Two sessions seems kind of normal now.
Yeah, yeah, for sure.
It's become very common, I've noticed.
Yeah.
Sorry, I interrupted.
What were you saying?
No, no, it was just, you know, I went into this meet when I signed up for it initially.
I was like, oh, it'll just be a little more.
I prefer competing two times a year when I can, but it's just like with timing, it sucks
because I'm going to, we're all going out to Live Hard, Live Easy.
So like that's in July.
So I want to time it right to where I'm trying to, you know, in a perfect world, it's every six months you do a meet, not fucking, you know, you, you have a nine month layoff and
then you do a meet in three months again.
And it's just, uh, you know, it kind of is what it is.
It's, there's only so many options to do meets and I'd, you know, I'd rather do two
than, you know, wait for that perfectly time when that might not ever come.
So is this, is this a payout meet?
I don't know. I wouldn't imagine.
They might be like, here's a bag of supplements or something
for best lifter or something, but no.
Okay, so I'm glad Jordan's on this because Jordan will have more insight to this.
You put a poster up for your meet there uh and they're charging spectators 15
and they're charging the coaches 30 another 15 did you also know did you also pay a registration fee
oh well it's you took usap registration 70 but that solely goes to usapl the meat director
doesn't see a penny of that do you pay to register for the meat oh the meat's like a you know it's like 120 bucks with a t-shirt so it's like a hundred
dollar registration so yeah i mean they're i mean they put a lot of work i'm not gonna bust
their balls i mean they i know but i mean there's also an extent where like i was looking at my last
meet and it's like 120 registration the prize is a 3d printed little medallion and like they're charged like i but the idea of
charging your handler your coach is insane to me is that normal i think this is so they're in a
smaller place now too so i think they're trying to make it well it's a bigger place but it's
i haven't been to a meet there yet i've been to a strongman show there yet but i haven't been to a
meet yet but i'm assuming it's the the warm-up room will be smaller so i'm looking at it as they're trying to curb someone having four handlers and their buddies sitting back there
taking up the warm-up room space so that's how i'm looking at it so yeah yes my my that makes
sense to me but like my meets i'm allowed to have one handler they get in for free with my
registration anybody else is just not allowed like get out if you're not that one
handler is that again i've only ever done wrpf meets is that like a normal thing this is the
first time they've charged but every i mean their new space they're paying their their rent has like
tripled from what where they moved to so it's like i i'm not gonna bust their balls they're
like all the gym owners are friends of mine so it's like no no i'm not looking at 50 bucks to do the meat but i just haven't done that many meets i just have questions like
is this a normal thing every i mean jordan i'm sure like every meat director does what they need
to do to make a little bit of money and i think most of them break even honestly and you know i
can't i don't think any meat director is buying a new truck off his profits no i don't think that
either it's a year you know it might I just, again, like I just,
I've never seen coaches be charged.
I've seen,
I,
everything's different.
Every,
every federation has their own thing.
Every,
everything is different.
It's crazy.
Sorry.
I have a lot of insight on this.
I mean,
obviously I'm a director,
but I'll kind of go to not my meets first.
I have noticed that like the,
what they call the pro level meets,
they do charge an ass load of money for a coach or a handler,
which I guess I'll ignore my own stuff until later.
So they,
they've been doing that limiting it to one to two spots.
However,
every meet I've been to,
once you get past squats,
they don't give a shit. Who's in the warmup room. Like it's like, However, every meet I've been to, once you get past squats,
they don't give a shit who's in the warm-up room.
It's like, let's say I brought you in as my handler,
and Joey wasn't there as my handler.
Joey wouldn't be able to get in during squat warm-ups.
Then all of a sudden, the meat starts flowing.
The guy who's volunteering to patrol the door gets a little lazy.
Joey's in there by bench. Easy. Like 100%.
I've never been to a meet strictly enforced.
I would say Alex Usler does a good job at it, at the Ghost Meet, enforcing a little better because just the way it works.
Like how to get in.
It's one straight shot.
And that, yeah, and the spec hating fee.
Like a lot of the meets I've been to as a lifter lately have been
like the ghost clash american pro so it is a little more money but from my view as a meat
director i kind of understand why they charge so much and that's because the staff you bring on
they put on meets at like big venues so like alex from ghost he rents out the the tank brewery in miami so he
rents out space out for a whole day two days three days technically i think the setup and stuff so
like he's probably paying i don't want to like don't quote me on this but i guarantee you he's
paying at least 15 000 for the weekend just recouping that prize money for the lifters
etc etc paying your staff making money as the meat director, everything like that.
But then if you take into account, like you're speaking about for Keith's meat,
they're not giving out any prize money.
They're probably at a gym.
So I get why they're charging more, but for the bigger meats,
I definitely see why they're doing it.
So when I go to my meats, and I'll be pretty transparent in how I run
things, I'm in a little different
spot than most local meet directors.
So I
pretty much force myself to pay X amount
of money per meet, especially the bigger
ones. So my December meet,
I put out the posters last night.
King of the platform, queen of the platform,
$5,000 payout to the best lifter,
$500 per biggest squat, biggest bench, biggest deadlift.
So that's what?
13 grand?
It's like right there.
That's what I got to make up.
And then I pay my staff.
I feel like I'm pretty generous to the staff compared to other meat directors.
I don't fucking pay anything except pizza.
Maybe you get 50.
That's what I'm saying.
Like you can shoot.
Yeah. I have judges that travel fucking pay anything except pizza. Maybe you get 50 bucks. That's what I'm saying. Like, you can shoot. Yeah.
I have judges that travel across the state for me.
Shit, I had a guy, I feel like a dick.
I don't even know his name.
He came from Arizona.
He was spotted at the American Pro.
He came up to me and wanted to be part of the meet.
So, like, give it your own time for the whole weekend.
The spotters and loaders bust their ass.
Like, yeah.
And then I have all my guys at the gym that transport stuff.
We have the door people, you know, just all those, right?
So they have to get paid or at least fed, like the door people.
They're volunteers, people at the score table.
My mom does it.
She's a pretty good volunteer, you know.
But I'll take care of their dinner, take care of their lunch.
So that adds up.
And then the door fee, I do charge $15 typically. here you know but i'll take care of their dinner take care of their lunch so that adds up and then
the door fee i do charge 15 typically so i i don't charge any extra for a coach or a handler
i had one girl get pretty pissed at me for charging for a coach i'm just all right bitch like
you want me to call her come on bitch yeah that's kind of like what do you expect i mean i don't
know you so you're still spectating.
Like, I get if she was complaining about an additional fee, because like when I first saw it, I was like, but I get it.
Like, I.
Yeah, where I'm going with it is not from like a I want to make money point of view.
It's like you're putting on a local level meet in Port Charlotte, Florida, out of a CrossFit gym.
And your boyfriend's good friend that you're here to come with,
he's probably gonna win $5,000. Where, where do we get that from?
Like, you know what I mean? So like,
we have a lot of people come in through the weekend.
And so you add up the registrations, the sponsor money and the door fee,
pretty much most of the sponsor money if not all plus some of the
registration goes to the lifters that door money is where my gen makes the money so like i pretty
much just act like it's all money that goes in one pool and it just allocates accordingly so
yeah all right maybe i i just i've only ever done like two three or three meets yeah it's all i'm sure a couple
yeah i i understand scantz was saying he has stopped doing powerlifting meets in ontario
for this reason right like i pay 120 my wife and kids pay 15 each to show up i don't have to pay
for my handler but it's in the gym all the equipment's already there and the payout like there's no payout and
it's kind of like you got 30 lifters at 120 each plus all the like there's and they're not
supplying lunch they're not supplying water it's things like they're not paying their guys a lot
of stuff either so that's kind of where i was just like is that like a normal thing then i saw that
they were paying for it isn't it's not i feel like
just just how i run things i think i have it down and i'll be transparent like i make pretty good
money off of running meets like especially my june and my december ones but i also make the
money on top of i think the meets i put it on have a really good environment i have really good
lifters that come down so i really like how we'll have like the Chad Pensons,
the Shane Hollers,
like literal legends of the sport,
all types of records come down and share the platform with your like
everyday local lifter.
And it's a good ass time.
Every time you put out a lot of content,
we have a company in Florida called zero dark 30.
So that's a couple of grand for the weekend.
They just shoot pictures for everyone.
They make good promotional videos and things like that so a lot of money goes into it too and the return ends up being pretty good as well because well i do run two day meets every time too
so it's kind of inflated so two meets back and back but transparency sake like it's not uncommon
for me on a big week meet weekend to walk away with ten
thousand dollars in profit for my gym so like but i'm also paying out an additional ten thousand i
could do the same thing get the same amount of lifters and not pay out any lifters yeah and i
guess i just the other alternative that is i don't want to be in a paid lift payout lift uh meet right now because like i'm an
intermediate but i've i've seen the the types like that that attracts like i'm not gonna place
when guys are traveling from california to my local gym in hamilton to outlift me to make a
thousand dollars like i'm not like i see what's happening i'm not ever gonna do that yeah see i
think it's cool like i really like how my meets of course i'm not ever gonna do that yeah see i think it's cool like i really like
how my meets of course i'm biased but i do like how because i own a gym and a lot of my gym members
do my meets and i really like how the guys that do come do these the money meets are
so cool with everyone you know like they kind of see what powerlifting is really like
instead of like the bullshit you see on Instagram all the time.
Yeah.
So I really like that for them.
And really like a lot of the beginner lifters that come out of my gym too.
It's like, you know, if those guys didn't come down, they're probably not going to win anyways.
So it's like, yeah.
Yeah.
Your, your meets are well celebrated by anybody I know that's been in them.
Including Laura, who has been on this podcast
before you know you saved her she did it she's like USAPL me and it was terrible and then she
came into yours and was like wait this can be fun like yeah your meets are well heralded
I've been to a few 40 USAPL meets and up until the last one i was at down in miami they've all been like a library
like i was a friend of mine eugene um from my gym to orlando to support someone doing it
and we drove three hours he's only been in my meets we walk in and he's like legitimately
confused he's still like where what's going on like no music you hear a pin drop um i went to another meet in fort myers
with my girlfriend for a guy at my gym i'm speaking about these four times like you know
what i'm talking about but we drove there and you could hear the crowd during the uh during the lift
like if i was speaking to you while someone's going up to squat you could hear what they're
saying oh my god yeah it was a very awful lifter environment so lift hard live easy is not like
that at all like my my meets were like a little quiet but the lift hard live easy is loud and
like nobody even the warm-up room nobody's like quiet at all like it was i got yelled at by the
guy for standing up and cheering on my friends during deadlifts because i was in his way and i was like buddy don't be in the front row like if you're not
here to cheer go sit in the back right so lift hardly easy is a very different beast i wanted
to go to that one this year to lift actually actually the american pro when i was thinking
about what i wanted to do next i signed up for the ghost clash but i thought it was still a little too close for kind of how my body was and definitely was
because my pec fell off and then i think by july i'll go and do that and i think i even asked if
like they had a monolith because i don't like walking out squats anymore and that plan ruined
i mean i'm thinking about still going over there to hang out because. Oh, yeah. Come hang out. I'm doing sure.
Yeah.
If you haven't, if you can, if you have the weekend free, dude, even if it's the last minute thing, it's fucking awesome.
It is.
It's going to be like a four day event.
Three days.
Three Thursday, Friday, Saturday and some Sunday, Friday, Saturday.
No, it's four days.
Right.
So Thursday is the it sounds like we're doing karaoke.
I got to put a sticker on.
Yeah.
Pounders and karaoke on Thursday uh tanners on Friday
lifting on Saturday and then another party at the gym on Sunday yeah I'm gonna miss the Sunday
oh I'm not gonna I I was at the last one we had to leave halfway through I'm not missing I'm flying
this time but like so last year I I just attended for fun I didn't compete hey my thumbs up thing
um and then this year I'm competing but I don't compete. Hey, my thumbs up thing.
And then this year I'm competing, but I don't see it's going to be
much different other than I'm not going to drink
as much.
I think as a spectator, it would be an awesome.
If I was hurt
and I had the money,
if I was hurt, I would still go.
You know what I mean? I know it would be
like it's a way to fucking network with like 80 of your buddies.
Yeah.
That's all it was.
Honestly.
Yeah.
And I imagine you're way more fun when you're not competing.
You have such blinders on.
You're a nightmare during competition.
Like here I am, a guy that I'm like hosting a podcast with.
And he says two words to me for an entire eight hours because it's like, it's not about my list.
I don't want to talk.
And he just like stares at the ground, like breathing heavy.
And you're like, all right, sorry.
Gets in the zone.
He gets in his zone.
Like, I don't, you know, my numbers are nothing to write home about, but I love them.
And I'm there.
I fucking bust my balls to get my five pound PR and I'll fucking keep doing that until i can't do it hey you got an ad read for us there jordan i do let me pull it up
all right massonomics from trading cards and memes to a pair of shorts to t-shirts
to a whole bunch of other shit to not so great youtube videos to awesome youtube videos
all while maintaining the longest standing and most consistent podcast in the industry they do
it all after buying from them for years i've still never found a discount code but i don't give a
shit because nickel and diming one of the best companies out there is for pussies to the tens
and tens of wanganites out there i highly recommend you to head to the mass economics website now and
buy a minimum minimum of one. Have a good night.
That was awesome.
I love that. Do you understand the Wonganites joke?
The reference?
That, I mean,
obviously I'll play on your name, but
like Minonites, Wonganites. Is it like Canaanites?
Canaanites, yes.
The tens and tens
joke to millions and millions of rock fans.
So I threw another pro
wrestling joke in there oh i will catch every wrestling reference made for sure oh good okay
should we get our guest on the horn kick all the the lookers out yeah i bet ryan's probably in there
we should kick his ass out for sure shit is he i should always check for that guy i don't i don't
i i i cannot we now it's just three participants i don't i don't have the ability to multitask enough to keep an eye on the participants.
All right.
Big Jordan.
Is that you?
That's me.
Welcome.
You are live on the Unpaid and Underrated podcast, the podcast where we spell your name wrong in our show notes.
And Joey tends to focus on that.
As long as it's not
J-O-R-D-Y-N.
Jordan.
I bet somebody has that name, too.
No, a lot of people do.
Well,
my name's spelled, too, but fuck it.
It's 2024. You can't label.
So I said, I'm going to call him Jordan through the entire thing,
just to rub Keith the wrong way for making that typo.
Well, you actually said Zordon, and I wasn't sure if that was a Power Rangers thing.
It absolutely was. That's why I went Zordon to Jordan.
Oh my gosh, that's what I thought. Good stuff.
All right, so you know what we do here. You listen to a couple episodes.
So the first question we usually ask people is what brought you to massonomics how did you find them and then us and and you know
what was like the first thing you bought or the first thing that drew you in and made you realize
this is where i want to be probably a pretty common answer so like maybe not because i've
been on this social media stuff for a while, but the trading cards.
So I used to think they were funny.
Then actually one got done on me and I was like, oh shit, it's me.
And then the first thing I bought, of course, wore the shorts, definitely the shorts.
They didn't last long.
They actually ripped on me pretty quick.
And that's like. Did you do a chargeback no
and then um they just bought another pair that's for the whole crew pretty much i like to support
companies that i like with my money so like i'll honest, I don't go on the discord that much.
Like I'll pop in every here and there and just read through everything and
catch up. But I just like the fact that every month I can contribute to it.
I do the same thing for the table talk. I'd never go in there,
but it's just, if people are consistently putting out content,
putting out stuff and supporting the sport that i'm so fond of
in some capacity i like to give back a little bit and and when you do come into the discord
you make sense you know like you you come in you fit the vibe you know you don't come in with any
like nobody really does every once in a while somebody comes in and we're just like are you
sure you want to be here but like no whenever you come in you hit the jokes you hit the silliness you hit the topic so like
we we like assume you're at least like hovering what do you not hovering um lurking i think would
be there yeah like i'll read through like i don't never go in there like i'll probably i probably
open up the discord app every like two to four days and go through three channels i haven't read everything and then usually don't type anything but now is the arm is is memes like
kind of your go-to to start at or do you kind of read through the other stuff because a lot of it
like you have to almost like read some of the other channel stuff to even get like 50 of the
memes so it's like i guess uh someone i i'm so in the like, I don't know what it's like to, I guess, to only like look at it like an hour a week or a half hour a week.
So I guess how much shit do you actually comprehend sometimes?
How much shit do you read?
And you're like, I don't understand that at all.
And I thought I was pretty up to, you know, par with all this.
I typically get it all.
Oh, I don't get something.
I'll kind of like figure it out or make an assumption and then refer to it like at a later date gotcha makes sense yeah if i if i miss like two hours i just go well i'm not reading that
like i don't unless i'm tagged i rarely backtrack i'm like nope that's too much shit i'll catch up
at some point and then i just never catch up i feel like you do that with our group chat too
with me you and nate uh yeah you well, because when it's me and you,
like we'll have like two or three things to say to each other,
but when it's you and Nate,
like it'll be like 14 messages that I haven't looked at and I just go,
no, no, I'm not going to do that. Like, unless I'm tagged.
Yeah, we're both very compulsive and obsessive. So there's that.
So Big Jordan, we're just so everyone knows if, if there's that. So big Jordan,
where,
just so everyone knows if,
if someone's not following you right now, where,
where,
where,
where would they go to find you?
And who are you?
And you know,
where,
where are you at?
Just where are we going to find you at?
So Instagram typically is the number one.
I'm long swung to spit on my name.
W O N G S T W O N G.
It's funny.
Cause like,
that's my email too and we have to
say it out loud to people we're like they read it out to me on the phone because i'm like dealing
with some company they're like wong s-t wong training it's me anyway i'm not not making it
a more legible uh you legible specifically for the email.
No, no, no. Wong Street Wong
makes sense to me.
Oh, there you go.
Wong St. Wong.
Yeah, St.
St. is street and St.
It was either that or Big Daddy J
6969, so I won't.
Yeah, you went with the other one.
Well, make sure everyone listens to this go because uh go get big jordan to follow please
all right so we know you're from florida we can skip that question
um what is one piece of massonomics merch that you missed out on that you wish you could go
back in time and buy? A lot of them.
The one shirt I don't have,
but maybe it's still on the website,
is the blue bench heavy one.
Yep, that's one of the few old school ones that's still on there too.
A lot of the beer parodies got shit canned
on the website at least
through some cease and desist bullshit
last year so but yeah he's definitely still there it'd be ironic if i um wore that now
i mean i see i see you out there grinding man here you can you probably going a little earlier
than you should be on a lot of your weights too from what the doctor subscribed or you kind of
right on pace with what the pt and you you know, surgeon wants you doing? Um,
honestly,
I've had no contact with the surgeon since like my first post-op thing,
which is weird to me.
Um,
but yeah,
I've been working with,
uh,
Seth Albersworth.
He just had the pecter got a surgery and it's working pretty good.
Um,
he's pretty aggressive on the rehab,
especially with himself.
And I almost feel like he's using his experience and what he considered maybe mistakes or what worked good to help me.
But he's been a big help in this whole process.
Nice.
Now, him and his wife, they moved back to Canada recently, right?
Or probably a year ago now.
But they were in Florida for a long time.
Yeah, they lived over in Daytona, which is about four hours from me.
Then they moved to Canada.
Right now, I wish they lived in Florida.
Yeah, you get in-person PT for sure.
That'd be much better.
For sure.
Stuff.
I had one follow back up on the project in Mastodonomics.
Essentially, this gets lost in the weeds sometimes,
but have you actually listened to the entire masonomics backlog did you ever go back and catch it up from uh where
you had initially started like the podcast yeah yeah yeah sorry yeah like so if you listen to
like episode like most of us came in at like episode like 150 to 250 give or take did you
ever go back and listen to episode one through you know wherever oh i did not okay so yeah that's there's
you know there's there's a select handful of us that have which actually leads me into one actually
it might not be in our did you get the hall of fame card in them in the in the mail for as as
the as the crew gift no i didn't i think i think my address information is not there so i think i
missed the one last year too gotcha so it might have
it might have to reach out to tanner on that one but i think on the last podcast
this during the live recording he did mention that i think he got three kickbacks from with
return addresses and he says he's already reached out to those people so if he hasn't
if he hasn't talked to you then he does not have your current address and as long as you're still
an active supporting member i would definitely be like hey tanner i want that because but you
you saw it at least right uh he's for people sharing it so yeah if you're still an active supporting member, I would definitely be like, Tanner, I want that. But you saw it at least, right?
For people sharing it.
So, yeah, as long as you're in the Discord, you definitely should qualify to get that.
And, you know, the race for supporting crew at the Hall of Fame.
I think there's a lot of us on right at that, you know, 12 to 14 level.
But it's going to be a minute or so when Eclipse is the 15, I think.
level but uh it's gonna be a minute or someone eclipses the 15 i think yeah i think that just as an unpaid uh an underrated host i should get a challenge coin by default mostly just because i
want to see what the challenge coin looks like now they did mention uh well i guess it'd be more
something we can talk about next week but since we're already on the subject uh i remember them
saying something the extent of since they do think it's going to be kind of hard for people to get 15, that they might add some more perks to it, you know, more than the more more than the current listed perks, like some other award.
Like, you know, I don't know what it's going to be.
Some kind of additional kickback, maybe just because even even if I went and listened back to the backlog, that would only put me at 13.
went and listened back to the backlog that would only put me at 13 so i would somehow have to attend a crew falls which like come on i can only fly across the country so many times right um what
are the other ones i was missing the four years is gonna like get a lot of people like yeah like
i was three like three and a half years like there's you know there's there's things i can't do that just physically or
monetarily are not possible so but either way i just want to see a challenge coin but i do think
as an unpaid and underrated i should get a challenge coin or a special edition gold um
drink spotter okay it's definitely time to dive into the this is your life version of this so we reach out to family members uh i don't know
who sent us this but i'm kind of getting the vibe of who sent these like three different people i
think and it got all hodgepodge and caught because i was getting stuff from different people at
different times so it all just there was no organization to it it's just there it's just
you know yep um stuff so the first one i have is ask him if he remembers sitting on the steps of the
pool my mom's grandmother and i asking a very embarrassing question do you want to talk about
that yeah look at the fuck so i was like very young and i'm sitting in the pool. How old? Probably I don't know. Based on the story I'm about to tell
it's probably 10, 11, maybe 12.
Yeah, it's going to be 12 or so I would imagine.
Do you guys know what happened?
I just read it, yeah.
Yeah.
I started to get pubes and I was looking at them.
They said I was counting them
but I was just looking at them.
Counting cubes.
Yeah, pretty much.
That's exactly it.
I don't remember when they told me that they saw me doing that,
but I remember that day.
I just was like, oh, there's one.
Oh, there's one over there.
Oh, fuck, it's the third one.
Now it's a whole bunch of them.
It was a very, like, I mean,
it goes on, fuck, it's like 20, jesus that's almost 30 years ago probably and i was like it is a very weird thing like i don't even i don't know that i remember
growing pubes but it was definitely like you didn't have them and then you do i didn't have
pubes well okay i was eight and 30 i was almost nine 30 years ago so that's thereabouts the right
age a couple years early maybe but yeah that's uh
that's a good one but i think one thing that might not happen in this episode that i always
enjoy to see happen is like the guests just we we pull something out of the back catalog that
they didn't know we had and they're just look a shock and uh borderline embarrassment i but i
don't think i don't think you have that gene in you to be embarrassed so we might not be able to
pull that out of you this week i don't think that's me gene in you to be embarrassed. So we might not be able to pull that out of you this week.
I don't think I'm jacking off for the first time.
Just counting my pubes.
Yeah, it's mine and I'll clean it as fast and hard as I want.
Yeah.
Nice.
Oh, God.
All right. What was your first nickname?
From your mom.
Hemorrhoid.
Yeah.
Always up her ass.
That's good shit. Not guys i'm not obviously yes i mean yeah i don't know figuratively or west virginia whatever the uh hey fuck you i'm from west virginia you guys have a weird
stereotype i can't uh i know well the ironic part about that is I never met anyone that actually fucking practiced incest until I moved to
fucking New York State. So that's
the ironic part of that.
See, I'm half Chinese and I've never
eaten a dog or a cat. So
we have to deal with those stereotypes sometimes.
Good stuff.
I just want to hold on. I like the phrase
practice incest. Like it's
like it's not abuse and
disgusting. It's a practice.
There's someone that I know
up here
through other people.
It's just the
people who practice incest.
It's just a cousin.
It's not like he was fucking his dad or anything.
This time.
All right.
Oh, wow. I don't know how to segue. I was going to say, well,
speaking of fucking your dad, you know what?
Tell me about this chocolate melting cake. I hear you like so
much.
My dad's not black.
No, I don't want to say that.
I was just
I'm usually
good at segues and that was more of a
I don't have a segue into what
you just said so I'm just going to
change the subject
no no no no
speaking of segues
but
talking about the gig
when my mom and i used to go on
cruises all the time she's a teacher so the summer vacations we'd go on a cruise and at dinner there's
always like a list of desserts you can have and that's the only one i would get because i don't
like any other type of dessert like key lime pie all typical pies and shit like that i don't like
it so i just always stuck with that.
Is it the same as like a lava cake?
Like I said, I've never heard anything
similar to as a melting cake. So it's just like a
like a like a bundt cake, which is a shit
ton of hot chocolate inside of it. Yeah, it's just
a small little thing, chocolate cake.
Honestly, not even that good. It's just
out of my options. It was the best.
Better than key lime pie, probably so. Oh yeah, fuck
key lime pie. Gotcha. Literally, you're only supposed to fuck apple pies i've seen the movie
good movie uh what was that on the glaze scale do you know about the glaze scale yet jordan
sounds like cum i don't i don't know it does doesn't it um so we have an entire website where our producer has gone and taken all of Keith's IMDB ratings and turned them into the what we call the orange glaze.
Because on one of our first episodes, we asked, what would your wrestling name be?
And Keith said, orange blaze.
And I said, did you say orange glaze?
And that turned into this whole did you say orange glaze and that turned into
this whole thing about the orange glaze
so if you go to glazesearch.com
you can type in a movie
and see Keith's rating
okay
half of it is because everyone thinks that I fucking
rate movies too low
oh no yeah you're shit at rating movies
it's called my ratings not fucking your ratings
so eat a dick like I don't care
for some reason we have a website I a dick i'm showing him the bag
where you can go to come and you ask about have i seen a certain website i was like yeah no
you're the one i said it was of come but yeah but it definitely is a very very funny concept
where you can go and see what keith's rating of movies are and then bully keith for rating them bad and instead of a producer uh the crow probably and point break that's like more nostalgia like if i had
to rate those today would they be 10 out of 10s i don't know but they were 10 out of 10s when i was
12 and i'm you know i'm not going to change my opinion on that i guess now the crow stands up
yeah that's the trailer for the new one it looks like john wiki but i don't know it'll be a good watch
just i'm disappointed his face isn't like the more white and black it's just like it's his face with
just like black fucking eyeliner or not like the white foundation it still might be yeah i could
have just yeah right like i i've got the original comics and they do look more like the brandon
lee crow but then if you go further into the comics the way that he
looks it does kind of evolve into that okay right like that first that the guy wrote james o'barr
it was the brandon lee but again like i said it all goes into he kind of looks like the joker to
me so again it's kind of weird there was a there was uh i i went into like if you go to the if you
went into the comments it was getting fucking roasted. But that's, I mean, that's just the fucking comments on anything.
Yeah, they're all dummies.
You know, but someone said he was like, he looked like the Florida Man Joker or something.
Yeah.
But it's Bill Skarsgård.
Like, just relax.
He's going to do well.
He's incredible in everything he's in.
Anyway, that was a fun sidestep.
Speaking of orange, orange soda.
What's the best brand?
Fanta Zero.
Yeah?
They got Wawa.
They have those red soda machines.
I'll always look at a Fanta Zero orange.
Sometimes I'll mix it up with the Zero orange
and the cherry.
But yeah, I don't really like soda,
but orange soda? I love orange like soda, but orange soda?
I love orange soda.
Who loves orange soda?
Kel loves orange soda. You guys don't get the
Nickelodeon reference? No.
I was going to say Keith loves orange soda.
I just love orange
in general. You've never seen Keenan and Kel?
Oh, no. Oh, I thought
it was, was it? Yeah.
Yeah, I remember. Fuck i remember everyone else watching this
will understand that reference is that the platypus it's not a platypus is it
fuck you uh no can't do that what was the birkin burger when they did like it was like a whole
good burger yeah yeah yeah it was in good burger wasn't it like yeah oh yeah i know good burger
i think it was a whole bit about about The skinny one likes fucking orange soda
Yeah
That's what I thought
What do we got here
Sorry
I'm just drawing a blank here
What the fuck I had a thing I wanted to talk about
Okay so
I'll talk more
Home gym stuff
For everyone listening You essentially kicked off Opening your home gym stuff. So, you know, for everyone listening, you essentially kicked off a home, you know, opening your home gym during COVID to your buddies and your friends and current clients, I'm guessing, as a personal trainer, probably.
Yeah.
And then that kind of morphed into you, you know, you're on your what?
You're in your third location now or your second location?
Actually, my first location.
We just had to redo it once.
Oh, okay.
I knew there was a hurricane.
I could have swore I heard you said you moved once. Okay. Did you just expand
it all or anything, or has it been the same square footage the whole
time? Okay. Same. Yep. Okay,
cool. What about,
so you obviously cater to powerlifting, or
are you more like, I mean, are you a barbell
trim with...
So we're known for the powerlifting,
but I would say probably
65 to 70%
of my membership do not do any power lifting.
So there's that, but I have like two sides of the gym. So it's two units.
There's a hole in the wall, like a literal cutout hole.
One side is all like the cardio equipment and the machines and the cables.
And the other side is the combo racks, monoliths, um,
bellow platforms, dumbbells, things like that.
So short answer is we cater to everyone.
Nice.
The thing we don't have is just like a whole bunch of commercial cardio,
cardio equipment.
We just have a couple of salt bikes,
a stair master,
an elliptical and an air runner and a rower and a ski machine.
Gotcha.
Yeah.
Those are all,
you kind of got to cater to, even though, even if you are catering more to barbell, you still got to have a little bit of everything. Yeah. Those are all, you kind of got to cater to,
even though,
even if you are catering more to barbell,
you still got to have a little bit of everything.
Just,
you know,
everyone's got a little cardio every now and then,
I guess like I'm probably not,
but you know,
everybody else has to.
Yeah.
We're expanding in November.
So right now I'm in 3,500 square foot feet and we're going to be in 5,700
square feet in November.
So it'll be a fun build out.
Got to buy a lot more equipment.
Actually, my gym right now,
taking out some old equipment that I'm replacing
and getting more and storing some away too.
Nice.
So did you ever,
so I'm assuming over the last four years,
you became very into just equipment in general, I'd imagine, since you don't want to fill your gym with shit.
So have you found any companies that you're like, all right, I support these, like as far as manufacturers and stuff, like I'm going to give these guys all my money or is it just kind of like whatever you can find used?
Or on the flip side too, have you had any dealings with someone where fuck them and you don't want anyone to give them in their business because they're just shady shitheads?
No.
So a lot of my stuff is used from like Facebook Marketplace. You don't want anyone to give them in their business because they're just shady shitheads. No.
So a lot of my stuff is used from like Facebook Marketplace.
So in Florida, there's two big, actually three big people that flip equipment a lot.
So it's kind of like a hobby.
Like I'll go and look at Marketplace all the time. I'm friends with some people on Instagram.
So they'll always be selling stuff.
I'll always be on the lookout.
I'm friends with some people on Instagram.
So they'll always be selling stuff.
I'll always be on the lookout.
So basically, I just try to find pieces that I think most people would like to have and do that. And when it comes to actually buying equipment from the manufacturer, I only have two, like actual, like not counting the power lifting stuff, two machines.
like actual,
like not counting the power lifting stuff,
two machines.
I have the Atlantis pendulum squat and the arsenal incline reloaded fly.
So those two are easy.
I mean,
the Atlantis one took a while because when you buy a big piece of equipment like that,
I think they make it to order,
but incline fly came like four days.
But yeah,
so I have a whole bunch of different brands.
When I find something that I think is going to be really good and I don't have room for it, I'll sell one piece, use that money to put towards a new one and just kind of replace it.
Not smart.
In an ideal world, is there like a brand or a company that you would say, no, I would fit my gym with this?
Just that equipment
yeah so my first reaction is no but if i had to from what i've seen of other people's stuff
i think atlantis would be the best one i personally think arsenal strength like even though i have a
couple pieces of their equipment as a whole i think they're more
of like a they're just very popular for some reason but i think a lot of their stuff kind of
sucks so yeah like the chest press machines you can't really get it like it's just they're not
all user-friendly um the atlantis stuff a lot of it's adjustable i think it's the mechanics are
better from a lot of the way they're built.
Like Dr. Mike Isertal, he has a few Atlantis videos on his page.
So he seems to think the same thing from what I can tell.
And Prime Fitness is a pretty good one as well.
But in an ideal world, I would be able to outfit my entire gym with just bits and pieces of every company because they all have pros and cons for different ones.
What about barbells specifically? I'm a huge barbell guy.
So, you know, what do you, if you had to outfit, you know, or I don't care, like
what are your favorite barbells in the gym? What do you, you know, what do you use at your
meets? Yeah, that too. So right now I've been using the Kabuki
bar, Texas power bar
and Kabuki
deadlift bar
you don't see a whole lot of Texas
power bars
is it 29 or the OG
28.5? That's the original
ones. That's not
do you find that common? Because I've been
Dave's XPS
or XPC meet is the only time I've ever used it I've used a i've had i've used a texas power bar for the last decade but i've
never used one in a meat just because a lot of people don't you know a lot of people bitch about
the 28.5 versus the 29 and then it's got a little more whip on it and stuff but uh so for the bench
well i guess theoretically well yeah theoretically oh yeah i'm not i'm not benching enough to fucking
give it a whip but i mean in my head it's just like in general that bar but i just uh there's just most people gravitate towards the you know a
rogo high or the kabuki power or something so that's that's interesting that and especially
too because a lot of people will stick with the same bar brand across all three uh well I'll do that in a world where, so like Texas Power Bars, Florida USPA, they told me that they got a deal with them pretty easy and pretty quick for like 18 bars and like for free, just like as a sponsorship deal.
So like if I can get that, I'll probably go to all Texas.
Oh yeah. You know what I mean? It's just that's a good deal um because it would help the gym as well and then but the kabuki deadlift
bar seems to be a popular one now for like the obvious reasons um so the kabuki squat bar i just
kind of ran with it once i prefer the texas bar or tex Texas squat bar on the monoliths,
because we don't have the rolling monos and the rolling is so sharp.
It's very hard to move that bar.
So it's the answer to the spotters and loaders.
So I'll probably go back to Texas squat bar eventually.
Gotcha. Yeah. I never thought about that.
You know, the whole being too nerly and catching on the,
or catching on the, well, catching on the not having rollers that is.
So let's get stuff.
Are you,
uh,
or do you have the OCD,
uh,
trait that I do and everything has to be on a spreadsheet.
Cause I think if I owned a gym that had a hundred grand worth of
equipment in it or more,
I'd have to have every fucking,
at least anything that's worth more than a couple hundred bucks has to be
an itemized number somewhere.
I do not.
Oh,
that would give me anxiety as fuck, man. Didn't i have 17 of these bars and now i've
only got one who the fuck took on my bars so with the barbells i actually plan on doing an inventory
sometime soon because i need to plan because when i expand i want to make sure i have
so like enough squat bars for the model you know what i mean just so
there's never one that's like
i don't want anyone to be like i need this bar to being taken so i'll probably always have one or
two extra um so that's that it's for the deadlift bars i already so i have three texas deadlift bars
one kabuki deadlift bar and an iself fitness deadlift bar remember them from like yeah yeah
yeah they disappeared but they had i think that i'm not sure if they got bought by someone else
but yeah they were like that was like their power bar their deadlift bar was like always like hey if
you want to knock off texas power bar for fucking like 60 of the price go here yeah they had a red
deadlift bar and this was before the barbell started being like
colored all the time what's that word search to the sea sarah yeah sierra cody
we like to say it wrong here sometimes i say everything um that's why i asked
but i was like oh cool red deadlift bar like that'll kind of go with the colors of my gym
because it's like black and red and that had such an aggressive mirroring on it people like hated it in the beginning
yeah but that's a good bar a little more gym talk and then we can get into some more funny stuff uh
i know you're more mono i know you're more of a mono guy but so what do you have for monos versus
combos like how many you know you have to have a little bit of both i'd imagine yeah so i have two dynamody monoliths and three
er combo racks one row combo rack and i have two texas combo racks and storage
that's legit dude you find that the ers are just more likable than the texas or they're just
just definitely more i know they're lighter and more maneuverable so i'm on the hunt for the in the perfect world i would have a combo rack by
now in my basement but it's just like i don't want to pay the extra money and give up the extra
square footage and i would have to get rid of one of my other squat racks i'm just i'm still on the
fence but like in the last couple weeks there's been a texas a er and a state of the ark all come
up for sale within like you know a couple hours me, but they all have their own issues.
And it's just kind of like, I always like talking,
I'll talk combo racks or someone that, you know,
especially you literally own three of the ones I'm talking about. So sorry.
I just, yeah. The wire, why did the Texas get segregated to the garage?
So the Texas combo racks,
I just bought from another gym owner in the area because they were replacing theirs with Valor Fitness, which is like, honestly, I think it's more of like a economy home gym.
Yeah, I didn't even think Valor fucking has combo.
I didn't even know they had combo racks.
Yeah, they're new.
So I believe they probably cut some sort of deal with them.
Yeah.
That's just an assumption.
So I took those.
But the thing is I used to have three, and this was my fault.
I was an idiot.
I bought three Texas squat stands with a drop-in bench,
and I just thought that was a combo rack.
I couldn't be able to put the arms in and out.
Yeah.
I sold those, replaced them with the ER racks.
I bought the ER racks because they were a little cheaper.
And to me, at the time, their benches were a little less slippery.
Okay.
So it seems to me from people what I've talked to is the Texas,
like there's been like evolution of the bench.
Like they used to be really good, and then it would be kind of slippery and shitty.
And now I think they're good again.
Okay.
So I like the ERX. they used to be really good and they would be kind of slippery and shitty. And now I think they're good again from, okay.
So I like the ERX. They're very easy to transport and not as heavy as the Texas racks for sure.
Never get a row combo rack.
If you ever want to.
Yeah.
They're too fucking big.
Yeah.
They're not only,
they weigh like 800 pounds,
but then they're also just like the racks there.
There's two fucking wide.
So you almost have to tell your lifters to put one arm in or both arms in even though you're not a wide
lip uh squatter because you're gonna fucking there's no way you're unracking that 20 kg bar
with a fucking eighth inch uh shaft collar very easily so and imagine taking the bench out of
that it's yeah that's one thing i find weird too about the rogue combo rack
is it has like that fat pad with it just cool people like it but it's not legal in like any
federations and i believe it's legal in the usa pl it is i'm gonna binge a pr on it in two days but
yeah it is they definitely have it's it's not that it's's not the Thompson fat pad, but it's Rogue's fat pad, so it's still
the super squishy...
So you're going to definitely
sink into it like a motherfucker, but
I don't know. I was surprised USAPL...
I mean, it's because they're just so tied with Rogue, I guess,
but I don't know.
I find it funny. They kind of use that
advantageous bench, and they try to make everything
harder for you, but they're using that
bench because they probably get paid a shitload of money
from Rogue for some sort of
so like
I find that funny. It's like
people talk shit about the deadlift
bars or squat bars or whatever. Not
everyone, but like some people like terrorists, you
know, we're going to go bench on that and act
like, yeah.
No, I got you. I got you. Rogue tends
to do that and then they they do things like push
the strength code of the animal cage um hey how far away from a toilet do you have to stand to
hit it oh i can keep them some far away i know who sent you that one
that's like regularly i think our notes specifically say you can essentially piss
from 10 feet away and not miss uh how is like and that's like only when you uh at any point or only
if you've held it for seven hours because like you know obviously what you know if i don't piss
for like three hours it's going to be a lot harder than if i go i maybe have to piss and
dribbles out a little bit so like How the fuck can you piss from feet away?
I just do.
It's a gift.
The piss gift from the piss gods.
So like
I have to
it doesn't have to be an extreme like
oh shit I gotta pee really bad.
I got a funny pee story I can tell you.
Let's do it.
So like I have to be pretty uncomfortable to be able to pee that far.
Don't ask me how I discovered I could do that.
I just did for some reason.
But my pee story is from today.
I'm driving home from Legoland.
And this sounds weird starting off, you know.
So I'm probably about 20 miles away from my house and
it's like a back road it's just 15 mile road no gas agent i had to piss so bad my daughter's in
the car i'm like so i pull over i go on the side road it's all these farms and shit i turn
open my door and start pissing and i've never done that before and my daughter p like her name
is olivia i call her peanut you know it's like daddy why are you pissing why are you going to the bathroom in the grass or peeing
in the grass like only dogs do that she's yelling at me so i'm sure she'll tell me to someone soon
yeah um i can get put on the sex offender list so where does the word or where does the peanut come from
it was again another ironic thing um when she was born she was very tiny just a really small baby
and now she's fucking giant she's four years old and wears size seven clothes which means like
seven-year-olds wear it i guess yeah so it didn't age well she's a walnut yeah um my girl's name is
saga she's two and i keep part of the reason i keep kind of bailing is because she's screaming
in the background she does not want to go to bed and uh i call her squirrel it's just been her
nickname from since she started walking right because i used to sing little girl
and then i was just like that's weird like calling your girl little girl and then i just moved into
little squirrel and i just turned into squirrel and now she just fits that she just chews on
everything and climbs everything and falls off everything because squirrels are stupid clumsy
dummies so i just thought it was funny like the nicknames we give our kids and how they just stay like they just stay forever until
you know they look at you and go i don't want to be called that anymore and you gotta
give that up right it's peanut or a little shit for me yeah yeah that one doesn't go to the teachers, though. Oh, fuck the teachers.
Little squirrel.
Hey, squirrel.
She'll appreciate that if my wife is listening to that and hears it out loud.
My wife.
My wife.
What do you got?
What do you got?
Like, we are literally looking at all this.
We already did the piss stuff.
This is a lot.
When did you cut your hair?
I heard you used to be an emo skateboard kid so it's never an
emo skateboard kid i said long hair like i couldn't tell you one emo band but yeah i used
a skateboard all the time and i didn't have long hair and i cut it shit i graduated i think i cut
it in high school and i grew it back and then I cut it again and I think I might have grew it back one more time.
It wasn't like
super long like this.
My hair doesn't grow that way. It just kind of
flattened.
What is your
favorite band
right now?
I don't have one, man. It sounds weird.
I just listen
to what's on the random playlists that play at my gym all the time.
From like numerous.
So Creed.
Creed and Disturbed.
Well, definitely not Disturbed.
That's one.
I can't fucking stand that.
I know.
It sounds like he's breathing in while he sings.
Yeah, because I don't have a problem with any music.
I don't have a favorite music. I don't have a favorite music.
I don't have music I hate.
It doesn't really bother me.
Would you say it all sounds the same?
No, I just don't have a preference.
Nothing really bothers me.
Didn't land.
With the Sickness song, it's so fucking corny and stupid.
Yeah, it is.
There's a YouTube video, and it's just like,
I think I've described it here before,
where it's like, Disturbed and their greatest hits.
And it's just a guy going,
And it's like, never has a band done so much with so little.
And to me, that's how every Disturbed song sounds.
Except for like, The Sound of Silence.
And maybe one other song but it does
it all sounds the same to me i mean i got respect for disturbed great work guys but yeah at the
at massonomics gym apparently down with the sickness just plays over and over and over again
i'm sure if i didn't hear it all the time i would not be annoyed with it yeah i have serious i put
on turbo they have a turbo
workout in their app and i'm like all right i'm down and then by the time the fourth disturbed
song comes on i'm like no we're not we're not doing this anymore it'd be like creed limp biscuit
shine down disturbed and then like slipknot disturbed and your white zombie disturbed and
you're like i can't yeah it's funny at my gym the
it's always either loud rap music or i don't even know the um the genre it's it's like the old
shit they used to play um like blink 182 like those types of bands in the morning with the
girls that play their stuff and then at night it's always like usually like rap music where you have the one girl that puts on like the shine down and create stuff
because speakers is a free-for-all i don't really care who goes on it
yeah just the butt rock that made me feel so old that he just referred to like blank 182 was like
super old and i'm like that was like it was like my high school time for him but yeah you are old
i know we are your fucker.
You're still like three months older than me though. You little shit.
So there's that.
I moisturized.
So I want to hear the story about your early entrepreneur days where you
conned your dad into buying you some pens.
Oh, the gel pens.
I used to at Sam's club.
So my parents and grandparents used to always go to Sam's Club.
So they used to sell like these little, I guess you'd call them like
suitcase looking things full of gel pens.
Back then, let's see, that was 25 years ago, maybe a little less.
I remember it was $20 or so, $18 to $20 for that whole thing.
And for some reason, gel pens were like the thing at my school.
And I used to have my, whoever I was with at Sam's Club, buy it for me.
And then I would sell everyone for a dollar.
And then I'd run out.
And I'd con the other person and buy me another one.
And then I'd run out and I'd call the other person and find me another one. And when they run out,
so like my mom and dad used to go during the day on Sundays and then my
grandparents used to go at night.
So I'd make sure I was with them at both times so I can get all the gel
pads.
That's funny.
No,
I know.
Has that,
uh,
you know,
that's,
uh,
that little business act,
act,
acclimate kind of stuck with you, you know, obviously you're the business owner now and, you know,'s uh that little business act act acclimate kind of stuck with
you you know obviously you're the business owner now and you know uh do you have to have an
accept that completely i'm related but i'm assuming as a business owner you have to have
like your own llc and all that stuff do you have something set up different separate for the power
lifting meter is it all just under the same thing so i actually just did that uh a few weeks like
probably a month ago um i used to do it all underneath this
underneath the gym and i spoke to the guy who does the uspa meets he also owns a gym but he
does it separate now for like his llc for the uh for his meets because he basically said like
because he's big he's a big insurance guy if anything ever happens to your meat you don't
want them to be able to come after your gym too no that makes sense for sure yeah i'm always worried about that i so i have a i'm a home gym guy i've
got about you know i got a thousand square foot basement and 700 square foot gym three squat
racks uh dedicated bench uh dumbbell section deadlift platform etc uh i have anywhere from
you know every sunday there's at least one or two people over and then one friday a month i have
anywhere from like six to twelve people over so like i've had people come over to my house for
the last decade to work out and like thankfully no one's gotten fucking hurt hurt yet but it's
like something and then a lot of times i'll like you know i'll sell something to someone on
marketplace and be like they'll they'll be like you know this is a fucking sick gym i was like
oh yeah just dm me sometime we'll come over and work out so like i have people there are like 99
percent of people that come over are people that have already have a relationship with but every now and then there's like a
complete new person that i don't really know and i've only talked to on instagram like once and
but it's like i'm always like fuck this asshole is gonna like break their neck down here and
fucking take my house so one of these days i need to do something so about getting some kind of like
waiver or some shit but yeah i'm usually uh the opposite risk adverse. I just go with it. It's probably the best trade at the same time and other revenues. So, yeah.
Do you want to jump into a game or whatever?
Again, I just I do a bad job sometimes of getting the notes clear, minimized.
Again, I do a bad job sometimes of getting the notes clear, minimized.
Yeah, no, no, no. It happens.
But I do really want to hear about the story the first time you had a mimosa.
So it wasn't the first time I had a mimosa.
I'm assuming this is a very recent mimosa story.
I think I've had – wait, no.
I've never had a mimosa until – yeah, that's right.
That's my first mimosa.
So I was at breakfast with my girlfriend. This place we've never had a mimosa until, yeah, that's right. That's my first mimosa. So I was at breakfast with my girlfriend.
This place we've never been to before.
We've always seen it advertised.
And they gave free mimosas to people that went to their brunch because it was like a new, they never did brunch before, I think.
And I drank one of them.
And then the guy came over and gave me a second one.
And he's like, oh, he's trying to be funny.
He's like, I don't know how this got here.
I'm like, okay, this guy wants to suck my dick.
And he might have, I don't know.
And then long story short,
we get to the car, she's driving, thankfully.
And I'm like, fuck, like,
I'm really drunk.
And I was just hammered for like two hours
of two mimosas.
Now, was there a moment of silence involved no there wasn't okay um let's move into fmk then should i tell you
well that's up to you if it's a funny story and you're comfortable saying it let's hear it but
if not we won't yeah talk about um you know table talk so i was at a powerlifting meet and
i the music kept going in and out in and out and you have heard this yeah so yeah i just
registered what he was saying yeah yeah it's a good story though music kept going in and out
and i walked outside.
And I am walking back inside.
And the music goes out. I was like, oh, this again.
And I was like, penis.
And the music didn't come back on.
I was like, fuck. Okay, weird.
Went on with my day.
Joe Corsi, he's
in Florida. He goes,
I don't know who the fuck he is now.
He's like this big-ass guy. He speaks very softly. He comes up to don't know what the fuck he was now. He's like this big ass guy. He speaks
very softly. He comes up to me and says,
Hey Jordan. I'm like, yeah.
So, when he yelled
penis, that was a moment of silence for like a
lifter's girlfriend. Oh my god.
I was like, shit.
My bad.
I remember
hearing that before. It was a great story.
I'm glad Joey picked that out
because I missed it
one time I'm sitting in a pub
me and a couple of my friends
it wasn't me that did this
fucking embarrassing thing
but we all cheers
okay
and we cheers anal sex
because it was funny at the time
and my one friend decides to yell I cheers anal sex because it was funny at the time. And my one friend decides to yell, I love anal sex.
Right when the music stops.
So the whole pub just turns and stares.
And this guy is like probably a little like you, impossible to embarrass embarrass but i've never seen him so sheepish
he just like shrunk into his chair and he was like oh no the whole bar just heard me oh i have a love
anal sex till the bartender came over with a shot and said cheers anyone fuck him in the ass that
night or well i don't i don't know i didn't follow him home wasn't me so i don't think i really
followed that followed through on that one.
If I was a screamer, I would, like, I mean, I
wouldn't be embarrassed if I screamed that. I mean, if I said
I love taking anal, I don't know. I guess either way,
it's up to you, but, like, it's not a bad thing.
We don't judge here. We don't judge here,
but it was just funny that he decided to say that
right when everything
goes quiet. Obviously not
as interesting as
when... As Dwayne.
So a woman's fucking silence moment of silence.
That's pretty bad.
That's great.
Yeah.
You didn't know.
She hasn't come back.
She's not mad at you.
Not mad at you enough.
Um,
one,
I have one thing I wanted to,
one funny thing that,
um,
it basically,
it's essentially,
it,
I would say it's,
it's,
it's a, it's a poop story. Um, to some extent essentially, I would say it's, it's,
it's a poop story to some extent it here in our notes,
it says that you hate not being able to take a shower after you take a
shit.
Is that a thing?
Oh yeah.
A hundred percent.
I mean,
I get it.
Is that a consistent thing?
Cause like,
I mean,
I think I have those shits like once every couple of weeks where it's
like,
Oh,
I'm just gonna take a shower.
Cause that's,
that's bad.
But I don't think it's every day.
Oh, I hate not being able to take a shower after I shit, man.
Like,
yeah, it's terrible.
Yeah, another
Legoland story.
We're at the hotel this morning.
Get this man some wet wipes.
No, we're in the hotel
room, and I already got ready to go for the day.
And then I ate their breakfast,
which is just like picture like breakfast buffet food,
just on a plate.
So yeah,
I had to take a poop,
taking a shit and peanut wants to go.
She's like,
I'm ready to go.
I'm like,
dude,
I'm pooping.
And then I had a shower afterwards and she was not happy with me.
So that tree hit me today and pissed off my daughter.
Would a bidet fix that?
I don't know, man.
Like, that's, I never used one, but I picture just a water splash in your butt.
Like, it's probably not that common.
I just like a shower.
No, I get that.
I get that part.
But also, I get sometimes your family and other people need you the fuck out of the bathroom.
So what if a day expedite that, expedite?
In theory, yes.
But I don't have one of those, so I'm going to use a shower.
Yeah.
And what's cool about my shower head is it comes off the thing yeah mine too and i can really make sure that my wiping
skills are good yep wait yeah you must save a lot on toilet paper then right you just do the basic
wipes and then get out and make sure the rest of the job's done. Okay, let's go FMK.
Are you ready for some FMK?
Fuck, marry, kill?
This is a tough one.
Okay, fuck, marry, kill.
MMA, powerlifting, or professional wrestling?
I was just thinking it's fuck.
Yeah, I thought that was going to be a good one.
Let's start with
Mary.
It's going to be MMA
because I watch that every weekend.
I like to bet on it.
It's going to be a constant in my life.
Power lifting.
I've been doing it for 15 years.
Probably
don't have that many more meets in me, realistically.
And it's always going to be a part of my life to some capacity
because I own a gym and I coach a lot of lifters.
So that's going to be, I guess I'm going to fuck it.
So it'll always be around.
No, it was kill pro wrestling.
I don't really have an explanation.
It's the only one I had left.
Yeah, that's what only one I had left.
That's what's hard about this game.
Sometimes you've got to just I guess.
I really like pro wrestling.
Do you keep up?
It's a lot to keep up. I've got Ross
back out in the pay-per-views.
It only gets really good
during that whole Wrestlemania season.
Are you only watching WWE
or are you doing AEW or any of the indies
right now just WWE mostly
alright yeah
but it's just it's a lot to keep up with
it really is and I just
like once Bray Wyatt left I don't know if you
saw my tattoos they are the fiends
right so I got the fiends
tattoos
once he left I kind of stopped paying attention but
now that the rock is back la night is still there like i'm still paying a little attention
right i'm mostly just watching highlights i'm not sitting here watching an entire raw and whenever
i try the kids lose their shit so it's like oh it's bedtime buddy and he's like no it's not we're
watching wrestling and he's like literally jumping on the couch up and down yelling.
So I don't get to watch it a lot.
We just went to the Royal Rumble and then the post-Raw two nights after.
That was a pretty good time.
Yeah.
So yeah, that's amazing.
It's been good so far.
I don't do a lot of MMA stuff.
What do you think about Tyson and Paul?
I think it's genius.
So everyone's talking about...
So I know it's boxing, not MMA,
but everyone's like, oh, he's old.
Everyone has their own theories on it.
Yeah.
But to me, what people are overlooking
from the business aspect
is this is going to be the first combat sport on Netflix. yeah so i think that's showing what's to come i mean you probably know
this wwe raw is going to be on netflix in the fall so what else is next like ufc because they're owned
by the same company that owns tkl yep yeah so there's that so what's next for like football
basketball like i think the evolution of sports on TV is going to be way different in the
next five years. And this is just the beginning.
Do you think Tyson and Paul is going to be at work?
No, I don't, I don't think it's ever at work. So like, like, what do you mean?
Do you, do you think it's fixed?
No, not at all. I was at Jake Paul, Tyron Woodley
2 in Tampa
and everyone called that fixed.
They gave him the signal.
He got punched so fucking hard.
You could hear the punch over the crowd
and it didn't show on TV
it was him laying down face first
for three minutes.
It was a hard punch.
I personally don't think any of that's fixed um and i'm like a big i don't call myself a conspiracy guy but i always question a lot of
things that like are presented to us but like there's no reason to fix the best like because
one so many people have to be in on it and like people will blame like las vegas and the gambling odds
and stuff like that but they want no matter what like at the end of the day so like one especially
boxing like a boxing fight like that it doesn't get enough like action to really warrant doing
something like that and everyone thinks jake paul shit's fixed because it's jake paul like
his paper he doesn't sell anything His pay-per-view buys
$200,000, $300,000. That's nothing.
He makes his money through other revenues.
Ultimately,
I think if I had to give an
opinion, I think all of it's a bit of a work.
I do think that
Conor McGregor himself,
he's Seth Rollins
of MMA. He's over
the top.
He's a work in general because you are tuning in to watch him get
punched out.
Like he was Roddy Piper was a good example too,
right?
You didn't tune into WrestleMania one to watch Hulk Hogan win.
You tuned in to watch him beat Roddy Piper.
That's to me,
what a bit of a,
a bit of a work would be.
I do think that Mike tyson and i hope
like he's so dangerous and i think that you're saying like the people are saying oh he's old
he can't do this like remember who this motherfucker was yeah he was the best yeah so like i get that but like we're gonna disagree here but the guy is like 57 50 he'll be
58 he's had a hard life i mean like he was already declining in his prime um went down that whole
legal drug stuff comes back whatever when i come like he looks good hitting the pads
everyone's like oh he's not gonna like lose some youtuber like if he does it's fixed you also have to remember like jake paul and his brother are
like very good athletes logan paul is an incredible wrestler yes it's ridiculous how good yeah oh i
absolutely and even not just wrestling like his storytelling his moves everything he does he's
amazing at it yeah because everything they touch is good like jake paul like in the past i think
five or six years he's been into the boxing thing people don't realize that he's had every
resource that he's needed so you take like a genetically gifted person with that type of work
ethic and give them top-notch coaching and all that stuff with all the money in the world
they're gonna get pretty fucking good even though he's not like some crazy good boxer that's going to be like
champ over the main, like the real boxing guys.
I can believe that he can give a 58-year-old guy a fight,
especially if it gets past like four rounds.
I don't disagree, but I also do think,
like I'm just a big Mike Tyson fan just having watched his past.
I'm not like a boxing dude or MMA dude,
but just having watched like the i'm not like a boxing dude or mma dude but just
having watched like the mike tyson biographies and documentaries and watching his old matches
like that that guy is dangerous and i still think he has the potential to still be very dangerous
yeah i would love to see it but just from like my observations on how these things usually go
like doesn't usually go well. Yeah.
And I don't think,
a lot of people are talking about how it's going to be like an exhibition
and like they're not really going to do anything.
I don't think they were going to put
an exhibition match with like headgear
on at Dallas Cowboys Stadium.
That's just,
you can't do that.
No, that's going to be a fight.
And I have been watching Mike Tyson's
pad prep, I guess, is what you mentioned, he does look. He looks good for 57. But again, you know, Jake Paul's 20 something.
I hope I'm wrong.
It'll be fun. So I guess maybe this will be the first bet ever made on unpaid and underrated. If you show up at Lift Hard, Live Easy,
first drinks on, I'll take Tyson,
you take Paul.
Sure.
We did hear you like to
gamble a little bit.
Is that more like a cards thing, or you just bet on the fights you go to?
I like
to bet on
pretty much just the fights like i'll
fuck around football and stuff like that but that's just like the action junkie in me but i do
pretty well like over the course of like a couple like i always like track my stuff by like the year
okay you're pretty good on the fights there you go um one thing i think we missed up top uh it's
here you're i think your mom said something
the extent of like you got a soft spot for uh you know disabled animals or or animal animals
with a handicapped or disability you had a cat that was missing a tail uh it used to i mean i
don't it was 20 years ago do you still have a tailless cat i haven't uh yeah so actually um
yeah so i had the her name was midnight she she died at like 20 years old
okay my mom actually just bought a black cat with no tail oh that's awesome which is very ironic
she went to go get a cat and i think they had like a two for one dealer or some shit and then
she ended up buying the black cat without a tail. Gotcha. I technically don't have that cat.
I didn't pick it out or buy it.
Okay, okay.
You didn't do moms.
But also when I was little,
I wanted hamsters.
I went for the one with one eye because I felt bad.
No.
Well, that's cool.
Yeah, I'm a cat guy.
So any kind of cat talk, I always got the touch base on. I'm a cat guy. Any kind of cat talk,
I always get the touch base on.
I have four cats at one point.
Wow. We have two now.
I couldn't fucking imagine having three
let alone four.
We had the four cats.
The fourth one died not too long ago.
My mom,
she always said,
I'm not going to get another cat because i just like
die like she can't put it like that and she hadn't bought into more recently and you froze
oh he did freeze all right hearkening back to the first couple of episodes oh you just froze
like hell keith like you were just i know i did i i was like jordan why aren't you talking i'm like
oh fuck it's me that's annoying we was talking cats that has been a month it has been a minute since i had
that issue fucking pussy yeah yeah yeah you're a dick what the fuck okay am i here now okay cool
yeah yeah you're here now where do where are we you want to move on to unpaid and underrated
uh i'll do i'll do a uh i got we got you can't not do a
mount rushmore then we can go under unpaid uh so this might not land if it's an older hobby but uh
someone did recommend this for you so mount rushmore uh basically your top four of this
topic so mount rushmore for you big jordan uh books every lifter should read books every lifter
should read i and and if if if if you don't have it like
i don't know someone basically said you were really reading at one point and specifically
like fitness books or like strength building books i i don't know if it's if it's not going
to land we'll just move on i'll create another one if it's just if this one yeah if you have
something yeah okay so uh mount rush Mount Rushmore WrestleMania headlining matches.
Oof.
So how do I rate that?
So you just take the...
If somebody said to you,
I only want to watch four
WrestleMania headline matches
in my entire life,
which four would you tell them to watch?
Okay, so
I would say we'll go in like,
like worse to best,
right?
No,
no,
no.
This is just the four best,
the four absolute best.
WrestleMania 17,
obviously still cold in the rock.
Hell yeah.
Yeah.
You can't really beat that one.
Right.
Um,
cause I really have to really think about that.
I might miss one.
Let's not even do headliners.
Let's just do WrestleMania matches.
Matches, okay.
Shawn Michaels, Undertaker, retirement match.
Absolutely, yep.
Triple H, Undertaker.
That was a good one.
Yeah, I'll put that one on there.
And then let's go something more recent.
This is a tough one.
There's so many.
Yeah.
And they almost all involve The Undertaker.
Let's go on last year.
Let's go.
I really like this match.
Charlotte Flair and Rhea Ripley.
Hell yeah.
Very good match.
Charlotte Flair is such as much as you can say
whatever people want to say about her
she's a hell of an athlete
she's very good
at what she does
I do think that the WWE
is not using her
to her best
I think that she has an opportunity to maybe go somewhere else
and build some more
notoriety and come back because I think that they are just default to maybe go somewhere else and build some more notoriety and come back.
Because I think that they are just defaulting to her being Charlotte Flair.
Yeah.
And I think that that has made her presentation not as aggressive as it could be.
Whereas with Rhea Ripley, they've really leaned into mommy, right?
Yeah.
And she's been incredible ever since.
She's good. Good girl.
I have a quick,
somewhat related, not to that.
I think it was Kevin recently slid into my DMs
and said something, or maybe it was even in our
one of the Discord channels, but something to the extent
of, should we start giving
the guests the Mountmore,
the Rushmore topic prior to, so they can
come in prepared and not have to just go off the top of their head. I'm just curious, like,
would you have preferred, uh, as a guest to have the topic beforehand? So you could actually spend
like 10 minutes kind of like scrolling through and actually like do your research or were you
more cool with it? Just being like doing it live. Cool. Okay. I just like the book question. I,
if that were like, if i did read fitness
books i think that kind of might have got misinterpreted i used to like to read books
but i've never really read a lifting book in my life um i probably if that were the case i would
have been able to do that pretty quick i think with the wrestlemania's there's so many yeah
25 years i've been watching it like i know the triple h undertaker one i just threw in there
and i'm kind of thinking of a replacement right now but so maybe maybe it wouldn't be the worst
thing but that and that match is important is is because that was such a build-up and sean
michaels was the referee and the reason that that match was so important is because undertaker and sean michaels walked triple h
out because he blew a quad or something during that match and to have two opponents yeah yeah
that's amazing to have to to have the opponents like at the time people gotten shit for that
but to have the opponents walk each other out when one was injured to the crowd on camera was like unheard of.
Yeah.
Right.
So even if the match itself,
I can't remember a single move.
That moment was so important.
Um,
you know,
I'm sad.
Bray Wyatt never had a good WrestleMania moment.
Never once.
He actually would lost at almost every single WrestleMania he was in.
Uh,
he's got an autobiography coming out or not an autobiography.
He's got a biographical movie coming out
too soon. Obviously
means a lot to me.
So, yeah.
That's the
wrestling chat. Unless you've got more you want to go on.
I did have one. You had mentioned
you saw that live, Jordan, right?
Not in Mount Rushmore,
but if your favorite
or your couple favorite sporting events you've seen
in person.
It sounds like you've been
to a bunch of cool shit.
Best one was definitely two weekends ago.
It was the UFC 299 Miami.
That was
the best card on paper.
It was just a great card. It was very good.
There's that one
last year. I think it was just a great card. It was very good. There's that one last year. I think it was like April
6th or so, April 7th.
Again in Miami.
The Israel Adesanya UFC card.
Him and Alex Brayo.
And then let's go one more.
It would be a wrestling one. It would probably be
probably the Monday Night Raw.
We just went to
the Royal Rumble. The Royal Rumble was cool, but it was just probably been the monday night raw we just went to uh after the royal rumble like the royal rumble
was cool but it was just two big matches a few filler matches no commentary or anything obviously
because it's live but at the raw it was all like the post pay-per-view stuff they did a lot of the
promos i had like third row seats on the floor i got pretty lucky there and then you know just that was pretty cool
so that's definitely sounds like one of your favorite pastimes and it's just
sporting events live in person so you mean sounds like you go to a couple a month minimum
at that rate yeah a few a year it's like okay okay so just i got when ufc comes kind of
have to go to that right because they only come to the state once or twice a year.
And then the wrestling,
I don't go to them all if they're around here
at all, but this past one
I really wanted to go to that Royal Rumble
because I've always wanted to go to one.
So Royal Rumble is my favorite
pay-per-view because
it's always where the most surprises happen.
This one sucks.
Yeah, it did. I was about to say the same thing
this is the worst Royal Rumble
I think I've ever like
when my wife and I first got together
she came to my brother's house my brother
has a big like entertainment
basement right and I was like
I'm going to watch Wrestlemania
you're welcome to come with me and she
wanted to like fit in with the boys so she's like yeah I'm gonna
come and like she's like, yeah, I'm going to come.
And like,
she saw like,
I would stand up.
Right.
Like,
Oh my God. Like I would like freak out when something cool would happen.
Like Kevin Nash came out as diesel.
Oh my God.
Like that's so cool.
And then I could nerd out and mark out and like tell her all this stuff.
And this one,
I was just like,
yeah,
I guess it's all right.
All right.
Cool.
Cool.
Booker T.
Great. Right. Like he was there a minute ago and I guess it's all right. All right. Cool. Cool. Booker T. Great.
Right.
He was there a minute ago and now he's just there again.
Pat McAfee actually replacing Brock Lesnar was interesting because I think that was a last minute decision.
And we were there and I was telling her, I was like, I was like making all these predictions like this is going to happen.
I was convinced Big E was going to come out like shit.
And I was like,
there's nothing,
there's not one surprise.
Not one good swerve.
Edge returning tears.
Edge was the best.
Yeah.
Full on.
And I,
you know what,
when I saw that,
um,
his wife come out in the women's.
Yeah.
I was like,
do you think he's there?
There's no way.
There's no way.
And then he came out and like, yeah, absolutely.
But this year was probably the worst one.
That's kind of sad.
And I guess they're just, that's what they're doing now.
Multi-billion dollar company can't, the women's was actually better than the men's.
I was really curious too.
It was like, we're probably throwing everyone off with this wrestling talk, but.
Not all of them.
Some of them.
Keith is bored as shit,
but a lot of the crew
is listening.
I listen.
Obviously, we saw
what happened to The Rock and Cody Rhodes.
Was this all planned all along?
Did they get that type of reaction?
Why
have him win the Royal Rumble?
I don't
think it was planned i think the
rock getting uh put into the uh director of tko um they saw an opportunity to make a new storyline
yeah and to me it just has a lot of that whole daniel bryan like yeah we don't we don't think
cody can we don't think think Cody can handle it so we're
gonna add somebody kind of feels like it but I do kind of think they were like well hold on the
rocks back we'd be stupid not to use him because to me it's going so good now yeah like it was
like the genius plan all along like like I bought fucking I don't have cable I bought youtube tv so
I can watch SmackDown. Yeah.
Yeah, I tried to watch SmackDown, like I said, this week,
but the kids wouldn't let me.
But yeah, like, even I'm trying to tune in again
because, like, The Rock's back.
The Rock is from my childhood.
I'm in.
Yeah, it's funny how they're doing it
because, like, he's always been my favorite wrestler.
And when they replaced Cody with him,
I was like, okay, that kind of sucks.
Like, it just didn't work.
It didn't go well.
I don't think that was just my opinion though.
But, but then they, they kind of made it work.
Right.
Like now it's going to be day one, day two.
Right now.
I just think the whole, like what are you going to do?
Cody versus Seth again.
And then the rock and Roman, like that just That just seemed too easy of
something to
go back against.
Well, I think the plan is night one
is the Bloodline versus
Cody and Seth, and then
night two is actually Cody versus
Roman. Yeah.
That's definitely what's going to happen.
I think that's the plan now.
So you would say The Rock
is your favorite of all time
yeah for sure
that's where the people's egg roll comes from
like that's
they're referring to my penis as the people's egg roll
that's all I got
oh that's good stuff
better than strudel.
Alright, Keith. What do you got?
Where are we going next? I'm sorry.
I've taken over enough with the wrestling chat.
Was there anything else before me?
It's worse than the metal. If I get into heavy metal
too, I'll go off forever.
And it just bores Keith to
the fucking bone. No, I can listen.
Fuck, there was something I wanted to get back to.
Fuck, I don't remember now.
So if it comes to me, we'll pull it back up.
But yeah, let's go.
I'm sure we'll hash some shit out in Unpaid and Underrated.
So we're going to go ahead and kick off some Unpaid or Underrated.
You know, it's everyone else's version of Overrated or Underrated, but we're cool.
So we named it Unpaid or underrated you know it's everyone else's version of overrated or underrated but we're cool so we named it unpaid or underrated so underrated means you know you like it and unpaid means it
sucks because nobody wants to be unpaid so i'll kick off a couple here i'm gonna go with uh
sleeping with a pillow case on your pillow or just pillow cases in general maybe there's got
to be some some kind of story here yeah no underrated like i
no overrated overrated yeah i don't like i don't need a pillowcase oh yeah yeah i've taken off
many pillowcases like in my sleep don't eat it that's uh you don't feel the same way about like
a fitted sheet you don't feel this you don't sleep on a bare mattress you're not you don't
think i have to sleep on a bare mattress are You're not the guy that sleeps on a bare mattress, are you?
No, I need a sheet on a mattress.
Okay.
You don't do that in a hotel room, do you?
No, I don't do that.
But I guess
the only caveat
I would have to be okay with that, I would have to
cut the tags off, though, because the one side
having the huge fucking tag would just irk the
shit out of me, I think.
I flip my pillow around. I'm assuming everyone flips their pillow because the one side having the huge fucking tag would just irk the shit out of me i think because then like if you always flip your i mean i flip my pillow around i'm assuming everyone flips your pillow to the cool side every at least once a night and then like having like
feeling the the big ass uh marker the you know the the big tag on it would just uh that would
be so distracting i'm having a panic attack thinking about not having a fucking pillow
case on my pillow dude okay so i have two pillows i
have a flannel and a silk and the silk one is because i sweat at night and i don't want my
pillow to absorb my gross gross sweat and the flannel one is because i live in the country
it's fucking cold out here god like yeah balloons sure that's relevant it's so funny what is it what
is it about pillowcases that bugs you do you know
I have no idea I've just always been like that
just bugs you that's fair
I'm way too particular
about my pillows I guess I don't know I have like a
I have a
I have a 25 year old
pillow that I still use it's so gross
but it is
it's the only thing I can sleep on without neck pain like i swear to
god is it cradles my neck perfectly i don't care that i've had it since i was fucking 10 years old
it sounds like you need a my pillow because that's gross they collect such gross oils and skins for
sure i buy a new pillow like once every six months just like as soon as it stops functioning i i
literally have like 12 pillows in my bed pretty much just because i like depending if i'm in pain i have
to have like pillows around my feet or like on my side if i sleep on my side i gotta have another
pillow it's like i'm a i'm a pillow connoisseur i've got a lot of fucking pillows i'm so old
you sound so old right now someone oh who is it oh big big chris fucking called me out on being
old the other day i have have the... When I get
a text or an alert or anything, my phone fucking flashes
and he keeps... He called me a fucking boomer for that.
No, you can't. No. You know, phones should not
make noise or lights. It doesn't make noise.
It's just the flashing. I do it
as like an alternative because if I...
My phone vibrates. I'm not going to fucking...
I don't have my phone on me when I'm around the house.
It's just there. So if I don't see the little
flashing lights, I don't know that I got messages. So I don't have my phone on me when I'm around the house. It's just there. So if I don't see the little flashing lights, I don't know that I got messages.
So I don't know.
Anyway, unpaid or underrated for Big Jordan, I'm going to ask chrome-plated kilo plates.
Overrated.
They look great, right?
But for the price of them, not needed.
Now, is this more of a jab at Alex? or is it uh like i don't know i'm
not sure who submitted this because like most kilo plates are painted but then they have the chrome
rim right we're not talking about that we're talking about fully chromed out yeah i have them
at the gym okay okay yeah like i'm like oh they look cool I want to get them now that I have them. So the worst thing about them is the lack of color.
So, like, it's happened a few times.
We have to remind the guys.
You misload, right?
Yeah.
It's like, look at the number.
It's 25 kilograms.
And someone will always throw a 20 instead of the 25 or 25 instead of the 20.
They go down a racket, and they're all the way like this.
I see that.
Yeah.
But, yeah, I guess they're overrated,
but I don't regret having them because they look really...
You said that was the Hansu ones, right?
Yeah, that's a Canadian company.
I almost got some of those
because they were so gorgeous.
Yeah, they look great.
I think I had the same problem. I was just like, no,
I don't like just how uniform they are. Big Matt, who's great. Yeah, I think I had the same problem. I was just like, no, I don't
like just how uniform they are.
Big Matt, who's not here
again.
They actually have
chrome ones now with colors on
the inside.
Really good, but they're an extra
$1,500 or so.
That's insane.
But they're pretty.
Joey doesn't want to pay 15 to get no meat let alone
1500 right fuck that all right we we might have to go more than our six we got a lot of topics
here but i gotta try to pick at least one more and we'll see if we could do uh some bonus oh
fuck i'm gonna ask this one because i know there's a good story with it so i'm gonna go with your
toyota tundra and uh so let me hear about that and then i want to hear the story of what inspired
you to buy it okay so toyota tundra i would say is a little bit overrated i mean like i love a
truck but i only say it's overrated because because it comes with all these things I don't understand.
I have the whole TRD Pro.
I don't tow anything.
I don't drive off-road.
I'll be at the gas station.
These guys will come up to me and be like, oh, you got a TRD Pro?
I'm like, fuck yeah, dude.
I don't know what it does.
It allows you to piss in a ditch and you not get stuck when you pull back
on the road right exactly yeah so there's that well yeah like i like the truck i don't like the
um the gas mileage and the amount of money it costs to fill up the tank i come from a corolla
hybrid um so i switched i bought a truck because i got a car accident driving my cousin's Tundra.
It's ironic, I guess.
And I feel like if I were driving my Corolla, I would be pretty fucked up.
Maybe not even talking to you.
Like, it was a pretty bad accident.
But being in the truck kind of saved me from any major injuries.
All I got was like a fractured neck or some shit like that.
And that was on your way to a meet and that you still like were you just
the meet director or were you competing
yeah
so how was it hosting a meet with a concussion
it was fine
it was good
from what I remember everything was great
yeah
blood going down my head and stuff like that
they like forced me to go to
the hospital which i guess i'm glad i did right because i was supposed to and then but like the
whole time i was there i was like i need to go i need to go like what time is it finally i was
able to make it still got there before squats were done there you go well i, I think I'll hand the baton off to Big Joey and see what he's got for you.
Okay.
So, unpaid or underrated?
Alligators.
Overrated, I guess?
Or unpaid?
Yeah.
I'm saying the wrong word this whole time.
I'm very scared of alligators.
They scare the shit out of me.
Does it come up a lot?
Like, obviously, in Florida, they're around.
Honestly, no.
But I've had a reoccurring dream in my life where, like, my pool is, there's an alligator out there.
Or I jump in the pool, and there's an alligator.
Or I just look out the window, and there's an alligator around my pool.
Like, yeah, I've always been very scared of alligators.
I don't really have a reason for it.
It's just kind of like everyone has their own fear.
But I don't like them.
I think I was at the zoo a few months ago and I saw one.
And I was like, fuck that.
Get me away from that.
So if any of our listeners live in Florida, I know there's a couple of you, and you live anywhere close to Jordan,
we'll,
we'll pay for you to get a inflatable alligator and put it in this pool when
he's not home.
And,
uh,
you know,
you just,
you just,
you just have to film it for the content for us though.
That's all.
Actually just on alligator on Facebook.
Um,
like one of those like city neighborhood groups where it was like,
it was,
um,
like exploded.
And I guess I had like some shit wrong with it. They call it bloated belly or um like exploded i guess i had like a some shit wrong with it
they call it bloated belly or something like that his guts were everywhere and then another picture
of an alligator eating an alligator so oh yeah no they're terrifying dinosaurs i don't blame you at
all for but i don't like i don't have to deal with them up here so like at most i maybe have to worry about
like mountain lions and even that's like kinda like kinda really i think alligators don't really
fuck with people i just think they're scary animals agreed right i'm sure they prefer to
not bother with you but when they do cross your path it's more likely you're gonna be the one
that goes yeah you stay over there i'm going to walk around my parents like ironically enough they own a
chinese restaurant originally that's why they moved to florida and there's a big pond canal out back
and like to get to the restaurant out back because that's where they drove up it was like a curve
and there's no big like curve. It was just a small curve.
So like I used to be scared that we just hit that and drive down there.
So I six or seven.
So like I've always been scared of the things that was always like my worst
fear is like missing the turn and hitting the curb and ended up with the
alligators in the pond.
That makes sense.
So unpaid or underrated rom-com
underrated they're all even though they're all universally the same i like them because they
never exceed like an hour and 35 minutes and a lot of them are pretty funny i like them
did you see the new one uh the the luck of the irish or whatever with
lindsey lohan i did not oh it's being universally panned i watched the preview and was like i'm not
even gonna suffer through that i haven't even seen any like recent ones i mean so like i used
to watch pretty much any genre of movie i would watch in the past and that's when i had more time on my hands but like
it was me at the movies it was whatever but like recently like the only movies you really see now
are kind of just released on netflix or whatever you know so i haven't really seen many recent ones
but all like the staple ones they're all pretty good they're all pretty funny they all end the
same but they're good yeah the luck of the irish or whatever is on netflix yeah but i'm not i'm not gonna sit through it so i did actually watch it i would
i mean definitely a rom-com uh it came out in the last couple months i saw uh anyone but you
if you just watch that i'm not sure where it's streaming or not right i think it's still actually
i think i bootleg downloaded it so it's probably not available. I've seen that. I thought it was pretty funny. It was the boy and the girl have a one-night stand, basically,
and then through just miscommunication, they hate each other,
and then it's like their mutual friends are getting married,
so then they have to be in the same wedding party in Australia.
Yeah, I mean, I would say that's definitely a rom-com genre.
That's funny. Yeah, I enjoyed that.
It did get an 8 on the
Glay scale. I just had to check for everyone.
But what's your favorite
one? Rom-com?
I fucking tell you, I'd have to...
Recently, I'm going to go with that.
All time, I'll circle
back to me after Joey's next question.
Probably P.S. I Love You.
That's like a... Does that count as romcom or is that like
sad rom
yeah
I don't know that I've watched a lot of romcoms
I'm a horror guy myself so like
I don't
the opposite of that the gentleman that was just on
Netflix the series
top fucking tier I gotta watch watch that. That's the
one where the guy inherits some shit or something,
right? It's a Guy Ritchie film,
but it's a series based on the Gentleman
film that was out. Oh, that's not
I'm thinking of a show. No, no, no, it is.
You are correct. Okay.
The Gentleman is by Guy Ritchie
who also had
a movie
along the same lines.
Alright, get back to me
with your rom-com there, Lex.
I need
to...
Unpaid or underrated
anchovies?
Underrated.
Yeah, that one was
a shocker to me. I can't even handle
those.
I like them with my pizza. The best thing about having them on your pizza is no one wants
to share the pizza with you so yeah so like if you gave me anchovies out of a can not a big fan
like they're whatever put them in a caesar salad love them put them on a pizza love them
no one likes them but that's that's why I put olives on my pizza.
Because nobody
in the house will touch it. My dad might.
He'll add more olives because he's a weirdo.
But nobody in the house will be like,
I'm going to eat your olive pizza.
Alright, last one
for all the marbles.
Unpaid or underrated?
Joe Sullivan.
He is underrated.
So, like, if you've been following me for a while, him and I have gone back and forth in lifting.
He has far exceeded me.
But we still, I'm still second place to him in the squat.
We kind of traded the squat record of the 2021 showdown i say he's underrated because
not only is it just like a good lifter but he has my opinion like he's kind of dived into a
whole different training methodology methodology with jake benson that's obviously working for him
working for brianni working for uh his athletes And what I really like about like his development over the years,
that's probably not appreciated enough because people don't probably haven't
been associated with him as long as I have is he was always that like angry,
aggressive, like do or die lifter.
Now he's like a very intelligent lifter.
There's a lot of things that are in like a traditional power lifting sense,
like big focus on conditioning, health stuff.
Even a lot of what we do is not healthy.
There's a lot of healthy stuff he does like implement now.
And I believe just based on his performances and numbers over the years,
it's working for him.
So I don't really know if there's an unpaid or
underrated answer to that, but
I feel like just knowing him for so long
and despite going and wanting to
compete with him for that particular
squat record, just seeing the evolution
of how he's been as a person, as a
lifter, has been great.
I follow up to that.
Unpaid or underrated, the breath belt.
Oh, here we go go i don't even know
anything about it i just know he gets made fun of a lot for it we're just like i mean we don't
want anyone to be addicted but stirring shit's always a little bit funny like it's kind of a
you know we we do as the other podcast it was jokingly we don't want anyone to really if you
really hate someone feel free to say something but no the joke the joke on here has always been oh joe sullivan's mad at somebody yeah right he's always he's always picking a
fight with someone in someone's second comment section and the only reason i brought it up was
again because i knew that like for 30 seconds you held the record over him and and i knew that
aspect at least because even before that we always had like a little friendly rivalry
and it was really blowing up on social media.
Like we didn't like each other
back at like the 2017, 2016 record breakers.
We've always been cool.
It's just been kind of like a,
you know, like the whole competitor thing.
But like we talk here and there
for about a lot of things.
He's overall a good dude.
He's always mad at stuff.
Like there's a lot of the controversy he seems to be a lot of things he's overall a good dude he's always mad at stuff like there's a lot of
the controversy he seems to be a part of like whether he wants to be or not but like even if
i disagree with stuff that he's like spouting off about i do like how he stands up for whatever he's
like believing in you know yeah like something i'll be like oh jo Joe shut the fuck up but like I mean like it's just
even when Brianni was on
Masonomics she said
something and you could just hear him
in the background like
I'm telling you and you hear Tanner go
oh Joe has an
opinion
again like I have no stake in because again like i don't really know who half these people
are so i just thought i brought it up because of the uh that 30 seconds that you held the record
over him and maybe one day you'll get it back yeah we'll always be grouped together in some
sense you know absolutely all right uh so that that's it for Unpaid and Underrated unless you have any that you want to ask there, Keith
Bathroom art
is kind of relevant to us
No, yeah, because you had a whole
like people send, we're tagging you
in that for a while
Yeah, that was really funny
One episode I brought up
Jordan, that I was at my local pub.
I live in the country and I have two towns kind of like one side and the other side.
And both of them have their local pubs.
And I go to the one and it is surprisingly one of the best bathrooms I've ever been in.
They have like an actual change table for babies in the men's washroom, which you almost
never see right
and i mean like a fully stocked like diapers and everything i was like that's really cool man that's
really awesome um and they they have the keg urinal like it's a keg with a hole cut out of it because
it weren't men and we pee in beer um but then out of nowhere they they have Scarface. They have just a random picture of Scarface on the wall. And I thought, what is it about men's bathrooms that they just do fucking weird artwork in? Why is Scarface in this washroom? This well-stocked, well-built washroom, and then you just have al pacino sitting there looking mad for no reason and then for a while people were sending me their examples of silly bathroom art
yeah um and it for some reason that is here in in in your list of unpaid and underrated so i guess
unpaid and underrated bathroom art oh um so i don't have a designated male or female bathroom at the gym i just have
two bathrooms i should probably do that sometime um i wouldn't worry about it they're both holes
in the ground that take p away who the fuck cares and one of them i got on that uh was it timu or
timu timu i think they made fun of it in the super bowl so it's not like asian company just buy
cheap shit for them and hopefully not get ripped off so i got two posters one was the picture of
um the guy in dumb and dumber taking a shit
and then i have the still of willow farrell and it's the other guy's name from step brothers
john c reilly yeah john c reilly yeah i don't know why i want to say dan akroyd but um What's the other guy's name from Step Brothers? John C. Reilly. Yeah, John C. Reilly. Yeah.
I don't know why I want to say Dan Aykroyd, but... He kind of was the John C. Reilly 30 years ago, I guess.
Well, probably even more superior, too, but yeah.
And they're pissed off.
You can just see the picture of him looking down.
So I just put them in the bathroom.
Yeah.
Again, just random fucking bathroom art.
Like, I just don't understand.
Yeah.
You must put that on
Instagram.
Somebody that probably has heard us talk about
it and then wanted us to bring that
up. Yeah. Just random
Scarface.
It says it's a nice built washroom.
All the trim is nice. Everything's set up.
And you just turn around and there's Scarface for no reason.
I just like putting shit up on walls.
That makes sense.
Your shower walls
though, right? You know, after you take a shit and you're
washing it out. Oh yeah, literal shit.
It's good stuff.
Alright, well I think that concludes Unpaid and Underrated.
We can move on.
If you have anything for us,
hit us with it. If not,
it's a dealer's choice.
Do you have anything you want to say?
I mean, literally anything.
Sometimes
people just ask us a random question. Sometimes people have
a fucking list. This is anywhere from
a 30-second to a fucking 30-minute segment.
Anything you want to know
or anything that came up that you wanted to follow up
or elaborate on or on our end
that is I got a funny one I kind of play with
my friends
I don't alright so I want you
this goes to both of you
pick
your mind I'm going to say
find a female
that you just despise
and find extremely
ugly.
Like someone you can't stand.
Let me know when you got them.
Am I just picturing this person?
Because I'm not going to let you.
Don't say their name. Just picture them.
You got one, Joey?
No, this will take a minute.
Yep, got it.
Yep, got it.
Alright, so if I walked in with a briefcase and open it up and there's let's not go to seven hundred thousand dollars in cash tax-free
i said you have to lick this person's vagina you're two minutes straight would you do it? yep obviously like this is an imaginary world
where I'm single and like where there's no
it don't matter
the partner's gonna understand
I'm not mine
she knows how to get rid of the body
wait
so am I like licking to completion
like is this a Tootsie Roll thing
Tootsie Pop thing?
Or like...
You gotta wake up for two minutes.
Skills don't matter.
Good.
And go ahead, kid.
Just act like you're single.
Fuck it.
Just go there.
Yeah, I...
700 grand to eat and...
Well, the hard part is
because you kind of set me like...
If it was just like...
You gotta do it to like a...
Like, I go into...
Go into two minutes.
Yeah, but like, I've seen some of the most it to like a like i go into yeah but like i've
seen some of the most disgusting human beings in the world yeah but what could you do with 700
grand right now go to buy a combo rack like honey honey this is for the kids yeah i'm sure i would
that would yeah as long as i'm single i I guess. Whatever. I would smell the smell. I can fucking smell it from here.
Jesus Christ.
You don't have the smell of this stranger.
I can imagine.
Like, no.
Like, hold on.
Like, what if this stranger smells absolutely wonderful?
Not the people.
I'm imagining something like...
Like Bea Arthur?
Like, are you picturing, like...
I go into, like, borderline condemned apartments that people
are living in every day to like provide a service so i'm just imagining some like section eight
scumbag that like can't take care of themselves and it's just like biohazard shit um does he get
dental dam can he have dental dam no no oh god no yeah no stipulation no dental dam for you buddy
play this shit all the time i don't know why it always happens but
a lot of situations like that it's like the whole what would you rather do game
so like your instagram promotional clip i want you to play this would you eat a gross ass pussy
from someone you hate for two minutes for $700,000?
So like the problem is.
Download the podcast.
It took a second for me to think of it. And the problem is the person I hate, I hate ideologically.
But she is a very attractive woman.
Must not be Hillary Clinton.
Nope.
But that didn't even come to my mind.
What the fuck?
So like, like yeah ideologically
despise this person but like he's a physically attractive woman so like it wouldn't be that hard
i wouldn't be either not physically attractive in my heads yeah yeah i i don't i don't tend to
lean that direction is such a good number too because that's like it's life-changing for like
five years ten years but well it's life changing for like five years,
10 years.
But well,
it was,
it's basically,
basically my wife and I couldn't work.
Like I could,
I could not work for seven years.
I don't want to do that.
Go back to school.
But like,
that's not like if it's a seven,
7 million,
I'd fucking stick my whole head up there.
You know what I mean?
Like,
but $700,000 is just a good number.
Cause it's like,
it's,
it's,
it's enough to really,
really,
really,
really like be impactful but not so much to have a stigma like oh yeah i cheated on my wife for the
rest of the year no i can't do that you could probably eliminate pretty much any major bills
with seven hundred thousand dollars regardless and probably be fine the rest of your life if
you really plan to
i think he's just living off the interest if you just fucking put it all in the fucking a high
yield uh or played it you know some see now you're really thinking about it okay see also like
how many times can I do this? Going back to the will, yeah.
Like, again,
ideologically don't like her,
but I got blindfolds and earfolds.
Like, once every, like, year
do I have to go and, like, pleasure this person
and get $700,000?
Because, like, yeah.
Just one time.
Oh.
Still, yeah.
How much pleasure are you providing over there, uh me it wouldn't need two minutes two minutes
what's what's the ratio like if this exact post question to your buddies what's the ratio of
answers you so i have one guy adam he always acts like it's a no but i guarantee you it's a yes
my friend eugene he will do it for 20 pounds on his squat
yeah i do it for a fucking oh yeah how much that's i like that better like
how many pounds to my total would i have to could i add like i would honestly take
that over 700 like if i could
have a 2 000 pound total i would take a 2 000 pound total which i mean that's like i'm doubling
my total basically like that would double double my total i would i would double my total for this
thing i couldn't i couldn't even dream of a second ago. I love powerlifting, but I'd take $700,000 over a number of dollars.
Oh, I know.
I know.
But it's-
Even though, like if you told me the same scenario and it was like, just make sure you
bench a PR again.
Like for me, you're going to get close to it.
Like, ah, I'm licking that pussy.
At the same time.
How has your recovery been on that?
How long ago did you tear it?
At American Pro.
So the 28th of October.
Got it repaired on the 16th of November.
So I think we're about 17 weeks post-op.
Okay.
And what's your next year look like?
Do you have a plan?
I mean, you didn't even fucking talk to your surgeon.
And you're working with Seth.
So what's Seth want from you in the next six months to a plan? Do you, I mean, you see you didn't even fucking talk to your surgeon and you're working with Seth. So what's,
what's Seth want from you in the next like six months to a year?
We haven't really talked about that.
Uh,
we kind of go just week by week and my goal,
my,
my goal and plan is to compete in my own meet in December.
So I'll,
like a year,
a year from injury,
give or take,
or a little over a year.
Hell yeah.
That'll be ideal. I mean, it's in my hometown uh get to live with my friends we'll have to like face like the stress
of traveling and all that i haven't done like a local type meet in a very long time and just have
a good time so plan doing that if that goes the plan i'll probably do one of the big ones in 2025 and let's go from
there and by that you mean the the lift hard live had lift hard live easy classic uh 3.0 that'll
happen in 2025 i'm assuming that's what you're talking about right honestly but the timing of
that the summer yeah probably because it goes a little too soon after december and i've a lot of
the people for my gym now are doing that meet this year.
So I'm glad I'm not competing.
I'm assuming I'll have the same amount next year.
So it's good not to have that extra stress.
Well, yeah, I think I don't want to put the cart before the horse,
but it would be awesome to see you out there at some point.
And like you said, if you have any opportunity,
if there's any chance you can make it out this summer dude fucking do your best to get there it'll be a
blast you won't regret it but i think we're all about ready to fall asleep so i think it's time
to bring us in for a landing if everyone else is good yeah not all of us had lego land all day
i think jordan has to piss but he was just gonna whip his dick out and
piss from here because you know he's got that 10-foot range there.
Got it all out on the road.
Oh, okay.
