hi everybody episode 507 of the unpaid and underrated podcast that's the podcast for crew by crew and relentlessly mocked by crew i am one of the hosts big joey i am joined by big keith howdy howdy and big katie hello hello all right want to just dive right in anybody got any cool drinks this week i do i have got a stephanie so my birthday would be as june 14th i'm not sure the thing comes out the Tuesday before. But she's been sitting on a whole bunch of presents for me, and she really wanted me to open one of them. She got me a whole care package of sparkling waters. So the one I got tonight is a vanilla orange or orange vanilla Waterloo. It's very good. I don't think I've had a Waterloo before. I really can't remember, honestly.

But I'm going to say I have not, and this is pretty good. i think it's better than the bubbly version of it so i'm very happy vanilla goes with a lot of things but orange in particular and mint in particular i like that i like when my vanilla is mixed in with those i could see that what about you katie i i well i don't drink i don't know if you guys know that but i have just a hydration because i've had a headache and it's going away which is good but yeah hydration in my fancy bottle that's filled with my daughter's artwork is that just straight up water or did you add something to it uh it's like a hydration yeah little packet thing yeah a little bit a little bit of electrolytes never hurt nobody yeah i've got

vanilla cherry soda flavored pc brand sparkling water because i had it left over and i really like the the way that it what did tommy once say that it makes your teeth feel like they're wearing sweaters oh that is a i like that feeling that is a interesting way to describe a mouthfeel that is uh well i'm like i'm visualizing like the individual teeth having little sweaters and like that itchy feel right now little jumpers don't know if i like that feeling it would be very weird that i think he said it one day about it might actually been a pc cola that I sent them. But he's not listening, so it doesn't matter.

So what are you guys wearing? What do you got, Katie? I got the lift shit. That's the best. That's a good one. It was my first one, so I had to wear it. Nice. I'm wearing the Ben Chevy shirt. If you guys aren't familiar, I'm a big bench press guy,

super powerlifting focus. That's all I can think about anymore is just powerlifting, powerlifting, powerlifting. So, you know, got to wear the Ben Chevy shirt tonight. I have the Morgan designed crew lift hard, live easy. It looks like the NWO shirt as designed by a MAWAV and, you know, worn by people all over the world at, at this rate, actually. Um, but you know, it fits comfortably.

I, I don't know. Wearing a, wearing a crew specific shirt kind of feels weird. I can't imagine why anybody would want to do that, but you know, a couple of us are doing it so i'm doing it and nothing wrong with it i think it'd be all right it's good it's good for the soul uh another thing is good for the soul is uh go ahead and check out plate snacks this week finally got a whole uh finally got the banner up on the website so we don't have to go with the whole back and forth of hey how do i order this and do you sure he has the right picture on file and uh etc etc but i appreciate everyone that has bought one up to date i think i've already got two or three

orders since the uh since it went live on the website so you know that'll one step closer to getting that speedboat and one step closer to getting a unpaid and underrated banner in your garage or basement gym or your office i mean you know you know all right i might have i might katie you gave me a weird look there i might have figured this out because like so i've always worn warren i've always had this chair at the lowest setting um but you can't see my face when we record and i just clued in i was like well what if i raise it up but like now now you can't hear me but you can see like i don't. We'll figure this out together. This is our goal on this

podcast. We will figure out the prime microphone to seating ratio. I feel like I'm a singer with this. This is my son. So I'm like... Now you're a Twitch streamer. Yeah.

There you go. Got Big Justin over here who? big mini? oh yeah good guy anybody get a chance to watch the youtube vlog that hit this afternoon? I couldn't get past the way they kept saying Sarah Cody wrong

so that's a yes the fact that you even knew that that was in it I guess you could have got that from the thumbnail, Joey. So I'm not sure. Are you putting this on? I watched some of it, but I don't watch YouTube videos. 16 minute YouTube video. Who's got 16 minutes?

I do. I always. It's funny. It's like they couldn't have made it any more inconvenient for us. It's like 4 p.m. on a Thursday. I was like, OK, you know, I like a two-hour window to maybe watch it so it's like uh i like the one day they had like a one that came out at like 11 or 12 o'clock oh i actually watched it at lunch i don't have to worry about when i get home i don't have to like basically like you know pester stephanie

is like hey can we stop watching this like together show and i can watch like a 20-minute massomics video so i can prep for my podcast and you know usually she's cool about it but it's just kind of funny uh but yeah no that was the uh tanner visited tommy's blog uh his home gym blog on their way to home gym con so it's probably like it was at april so it was over like two months ago um but yeah it was it was cool to see tommy's gym you know i think they already had a little bit of that in there i needed the tour but just uh seeing tanner in there doing his pull-ups and i almost made a i almost had i'll explain a meme that i was too lazy to make but tanner does something the extent of like you know it's it's not the pull-ups that get me it's it's one it's it's the bottom of the hang

so like he didn't that's that's what i paraphrased from it so you know it's not the wind that gets you or it's not the uh it's not the cold that gets you to the wind i was gonna go an in-depth meme about that but i figured it'd be just more funny to explain it because, you know, our fans like it when we explain jokes and a meme is a joke. So there you go. Laugh, you bastards. So Mass Class Fancy made a big meme today and you shared it today, but that was good. No, but it

got flagged. You need permission to watch it. Why is that? Because it's AI generated. Oh. I was like, is this inappropriate? No, no, it's because it's AI generated. Oh. I was like, is this inappropriate? What? No, no. It's because it's AI generated and includes, which is okay. Like, I'm not mad about that.

But, like, if you're watching it, you know that's not Tanner running out to a crowd at Coachella. Like, you know that. It's exactly like him, though. Yeah, it was bang on. If he was a WWE wrestler from the mid-2000s in a video game, that would have been a bang on version he was a WWE wrestler from the mid 2000s in a video game, that would have been a bang on version of him. Or were you supposed to, like,

am I supposed to know who the famous person initially was? Like, I don't, I don't even know what Coachella is, let alone who would sing there or. So I would say I made that up. I don't think that was Coachella. Okay.

But that also means I know what coachella is but i don't know what that video is from gotcha because i think i've seen that a few times it's like it must be one of like the stock ai things that you can just like pick so uh but it was very like tanner looked very not accurate at all but tommy like almost looked exactly like tommy if tommy was like 250 pounds uh so i thought that was just it was just funny how they were could be so like the same like template and everything and then tommy can look like almost like 100 what tommy looks like and tanner yeah like you said like a like a 90s video game i i guess you know maybe big nate had a hand in it and that's why it came out so uh you know mediocre oh geez uh you know what i think this is a good question to ask you

right off the bat so what did you think of the episode with your best friend coop no yeah how are you gonna rate that it wasn't bad everyone's good i'm i don't know if i'm getting older or i just i'm getting busier oh and i say this because i'm probably going to have a new garage in like three weeks everyone's gonna you know call me out but like i'm over that like i don't i don't have i don't have the energy to be an asshole to people anymore unless they really really deserve it and the fact that he you know my biggest complaint with him was that he just fucking lied and lied and lied by omission you know lying by not telling the thing and the fact that he actually you know all it takes is just we'll say the fucking thing and then it's over so it just

took him four years to fucking do it for some reason it was very strange uh but whatever like his content still is mediocre at best nowadays but you but I don't have a massive grudge towards him and all he stands for at the moment. Same thing with – was it Bella the Steel? Once you do the thing right that you fucked up, I'm good. We'll see if that holds true or if I get less busy, I can create more fake animosity towards people just for Internet funnies. But for now, you know, was it who did I what did I say? Brian and. Well, Big Matt, obviously, you know, he's on my shit list, but I think it was just who else was there.

I said somebody there. I can't remember who it was. It was definitely only Brian. Oh, Tango Charlie. Yeah. Fuck Tango Charlie and fuck Brian. Well, I mean, yeah, definitely fuck Tango Charlie in general. But, you know, I just want everybody to know that if somebody in the home gym realm slightly offends anybody,

Keith is here to make sure that he holds all the animosity and anger towards them on your behalf. How would you rate the episode, though? Oh, all in all, I will give it five out of five coop mustaches. That's a pretty good rating. Katie, do you have a rating for the episode? Five out of five. Yep, five out of five. iPod touches, yes.

Yes. There was a couple laugh out loud moments. Tanner really pushing a few things kind of made me laugh. I wish I could remember anything, but I had to listen to it like in a hurry because I was normally I listen to when I'm driving to work, which is a 30 to 40 minute drive. But I wasn't driving to work all week. I was driving to training, which is a 15 minute drive. So I got no podcasting in. So I was like hammering through it.

So I wish I had specifics. So I'm probably going to have to give it five out of five puffy coats. Nice. Now, that was probably because there was so much basketball talk, as you so enjoy. There was a there was a lot of basketball talk. And then there was a lot of sets and reps. And I definitely like 10 second did a lot of the sets and reps. Like, I'm not going to lie.

I'm interested in my friend's training, but I was also just like, Oh, like, I want to hear the funny stuff. That's fair. It's fair. Well, we are currently sitting at 44 days out when we're recording this on six, June 6th. So by the time you listen to this,

it wouldn't be like in the upper 30s out from the meet. So how's your training going, Joey? Let's talk sets and reps. Oh, it's not going. No. No, I gave up. I'm just going to walk in and wing it. We'll be lucky to do a 600-pound total.

Do it live. We'll do it live. Like, what's the worst that could happen? Just your knee issue still, as I say. god yeah that knee sucks so i squatted again on monday because i was like yeah fuck it we'll do it live see what happens and like there's a certain point where it hurts and you're like yeah but i still have to squat like i can't just not do it but you're like i paid for that immediately after and i was supposed to bench tomorrow but now finding out that i'm going to work tomorrow instead

is definitely going to throw that off for a loop. Because I had a whole like, no, I'm going to set an hour aside and fix my and so whatever. We're just not lifting. We're just throw rocks around, throw kids around. You'll get strong by proxy, I hear.

I'm kidding. I'm kidding. Juggernaut's kicking my ass. I'm having a ton of fun. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. Juggernaut's kicking my ass. I'm having a ton of fun. I don't think I'm going to be where I want to be. I don't think I'm going to do that 1,000 pound total. But that doesn't mean I'm not going to try. But I definitely have been moving backwards in the past couple of years. But also, I'm just getting old.

And you wear down your body. And it just happens that way. And you just got to get over that shit. Still stronger than most people my age and size but yeah I wanted a thousand pound total before I retired but this might be my last meet we'll find out

maybe just settle for 869 if that's in the cards there's gonna be some variation with 69 on it for you if it's anything under 900 I'll be very disappointed you got that in the bag. I could do over 900 today. It's just over 1,000.

I'm not positive. I feel that. Strongman's going decent. It's still weird because I haven't really ironed out, well, what day should I do shit? Because my coach is a powerlifting coach, and he's giving me stuff. I'm happy with what he's giving me.

I did get a couple. So far far i've got one session in with an actual like my the local power uh strongman guru guy uh i had to head us had a stone and uh log thing uh last week um stone and log thing no like i went and did i went two stones in one log yeah yeah yeah yeah but i'm going um hit a uh overhead press pr today for a rep pr 135 for just uh straight right straight uh strict strict press for six reps i was you know it's not a lot of weight but for me i was pretty pretty happy with that um i bought some fucking titan pulling blocks to do the 18 inch deadlift they are the biggest pieces of shit in the world they bounce all over they're gonna kill me

I'm not dropping the bar I'm not doing an eccentric like fast it's like a semi-controlled drop or a sit down and it's just fucking all over the place part of it is my deadlift platform kind of sucks it's on a very unlevel part of my floor so it does it's just like fucking all over the place if part of it is like my deadlift platform kind of sucks because it really it's on a very unlevel part of my floor so it's a it does it's

just not completely flat so i have to like shim it up and shit but like that block with like 400 pounds coming down and like one exact spot like make shit not happy uh but yeah those suck i think i might have to go back to rack pulls uh my buddy big luke i think is coming over next week for my lift uh birthday lift party where i have like an AMRAP at 390 with them. So like 90% of comp weight. And he has some like 45 pound like versions of those like legit ones that don't sway. So I might try those. But yeah, that doesn't work.

Send them back and just get some wagon wheels. Stop fucking around. I already threw the box. They were fucking like $94. I don't even care. Like it's not worth my headache to even deal with. I'm not even concerned about sending them back. I don't have the amount of time and energy I'd have invested in that.

I'd already be losing money. But yeah, all in all, Charlemagne's fun. I'm enjoying it. Training's still going good. I'm out and traveling all next week, which sucks. And I'm in the middle of nowhere. I don't know where any even shitty commercial gyms where I can just do barbell training will be.

I'm trying to squeeze two workouts from next weekend, this weekend, and just do a couple two-a-days, essentially, and see what I... If I don't actually make it to a gym, I already got it all my shit in. We'll see. I don't know much about Strongman, but I feel like if you're going to show up to a hotel gym, just throw some

bar dumbbells around. Throw it over your your head what you can do like just just circus whatever they have and then if that's not enough do two i think i'm in the middle i'm like legit in the middle of nowhere there will not be a hotel gym i'm like and i'll like a long stay like 60 bucks a night shithole so yeah that's the best yeah i'm not anticipating doing much except just you know watching TV next week after the job after working 10 hour days there'll be rocks in the creek creek

creek in my neck creek ravine ravine ravine no it's ravine right ravenous that's a good movie is it though it's like a parody I don't think as a good movie is it though yeah it's like it's like a parody i don't think i don't think as a kid i realized it was kind of like a parody and it was

supposed to be more of a comedy i thought it was like a bad horror movie but i think it is supposed to be more of a cannibals were they yes yeah how do i remember that it was uh it was a decent late 90s movie i was just i haven't heard of. Yeah, I can't think of who the main... something... Is Guy Pearce an actor? Is that a person? Is that a name I'm thinking of? Yeah, Guy Pearce. That's the lead, right?

Or Pierce Brosnan. One of those two. Something with Pierce. They're the same guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They just established that if you eat somebody else's body, you gain power or something like yeah you could literally like in in yeah like you essentially like have steroids interject fuck oh the 90s anyway and katie do you have a uh an ad read for us oh yes that worked oh okay here we go this podcast is sponsored by massonomics if you're

looking to get strong check out massonomics gym located in beautiful western northeast south dakota while you're there lifting heavy and living easy check out their lifting podcast about nothing not only that make sure you check out their badass tees and lift shorts that make your ghat pop. Don't forget to join in all the silly goose fun at the upcoming Lift Hard Live Easy Classic, where the weights will be dropping and the drinks will be flowing. If you can't make the trip, make sure to catch them down in Ohio at the Arnold Classic. I had to throw in some Gen Alpha slang in there. at the Arno Classic. I had to throw in some Gen Alpha slang in there.

As soon as I figure out what a ghat is, I'm going to pop mine. Yeah, no, I read that to my daughter and she just rolled her eyes, but hey. That's what kids would do.

Yeah. But tell you what, if any of these people could understand anything you said, they'd be very happy with it. Is that the opposite of the Bobby Hill meme? That's exactly what I was doing. If these kids could read, they'd be very upset.

Nice. All right, you want to get our guest on the horn? Yep, let's kick all these looky-loo gals. Ah, fuck. Wow, looky-loo gals. But Katie, is that you oh hello well hello welcome to probably the least prepared we've ever been for a podcast i don't i feel like i got a lot of notes right now there's a ton of notes no and i'm just i'm just like so tired and just like, I'm just like in. I'm just in.

Let's just have as much fun as we can. Interviewing Big Katie Stensland? Big Katie G? Big Katie Jean? All right. Yes. No, I just wanted to make sure I say Stensland right. Jean, I can figure out pretty easily.

But that is in there as one of your nicknames. Stensland. Yeah, I know. It's pronounced like Stensland, but it's, I I say Stensland right. Gene, I can figure out pretty easily, but that is in there as one of your nicknames. Stensland, yeah, I know. It's pronounced like Stensland, but I would say Stensland. These are people that understand that. Stensland, Stensland. Either way, I get things wrong a lot. Welcome to Unpaid and Underrated. You are live. So, introduce yourself. What brought you to Massanomics? Of course, the powerlifting. No, Massanomics did. But yeah, Dave pulled me in and I'm happy about it. So the Lift Hard Live Easy was the most fun I've had at one of the power lifting meets. That was just amazing.

And I can't wait to do it again. Yeah. I'm pretty amped. I met you there too, very briefly, but you know, you guys were running things. So I wasn't going to like,

I'm all over the place. Yeah. I came, I came running up like Dave was like stuffing his face and I come running up with my camera and I was like, his face and I come running up with my camera and I was like I'm sorry to do this are you working hard or hardly working he's just like what and I was just like I'm sorry I had to get you when you weren't working but yeah you guys were just like everywhere so I feel like we didn't meet you a lot but definitely definitely one of

the best powerlifting meets. You got 90 people in a room all just trying to make each other laugh unless you're Keith and just having fun. That was so much fun. Everybody made it that much more fun. Yeah, absolutely. Go ahead, Keith. I'm just so excited for year two because like everyone that was there last year is already gonna know people there's just there's not like not that we didn't like not that everyone

didn't have a great time last year it's just like you could feel like i think i know that person i'm pretty sure i know that person i don't want to talk to them because i haven't been introduced yet kind of thing like i think like you and dave guys you guys showed up to pounders and i don't know that i talked to you too much because i only kind of sort of knew dave and it was just like but now it's like i'm gonna fucking give you a hug and we're gonna talk for a fucking hour when we see each other next like that's what's that's that's what i'm so excited about year two i think it's going to be a bit of the opposite is that we're all going to know each other so well that we will like won't be able to talk to everybody we want to talk to. It'll be just like, I've got to make sure I talk to this

one, and then eventually you've just got to go, I can't keep trying anymore. But we'll see. We'll do it live. We'll write it. Where do we find you on Instagram or the Discords? Instagram at

katiejean 3127 and discord probably the same I think so yeah actually I think so I always get confused because my email is the same katiejean430 and

my other one is 3127 and I'm like okay which one is which well katie where are you guys where are you from where do you live now i have born and raised fargo north dakota so haven't left oh wow so i enjoy it yeah not much here it's growing but yeah um my whole family still lives here so nice has uh have any of the shows or movies actually been filmed in fargo not at all like was it all like filmed in canada or something on the cheap i think well that the fargo i believe was filmed in brainerd i could

be totally wrong i'm not sure we'll have to get someone to fact check that later but but it's i know because i but it has to be like does there just in general though like is the fact that like it's a known entity from like like well i don't know like i probably wouldn't know what fargo south you know dakota is if it wasn't for the show or the movie so is it like what do people in fargo think of the show or the movie. So is it like, what do people in Fargo think of the show and the movie? Uh, hit or miss. I don't know.

I think people get more upset with how they portray how we talk, obviously. But, and maybe I don't know. Maybe I sound like that. I have no idea. No. It's not that. It's definitely not. No, not even close. I'm not getting that at all. Like, I've just watched the most, I think the most recent season sound like that I have no idea no it's not that it's definitely not no not even close like I've just watched the most I think the most recent season

but like almost everybody everybody's an ope ah jeez ah jeez is the one we have here too ah yeah oh my gosh do you have

go ahead say your o's a lot oh no oh no oh no no um do you have a hall of fame status what's your what's your check marks on that for fargo in general or what oh i'm sorry'm sorry. For the Massonomics Hall of Fame. I should have been more clear there. My allergy. Oh, yeah. So just in case you guys see me go off camera and then come back with flaming eyes, my allergies have decided that it is time for me to suffer endlessly. Yeah. So the Massonomics Hall of Fame, we sent out they sent out the gift things a little while ago.

Were you a member then? Yes, I did. Yes, I got one and I am behind. You'll at least get one tonight. I do. You should have a few from being at Masonomics. Well, did you make it to Masonomics Gym last year?

No. I know. There's so much stuff that we weren't able to do because we're just, ugh, no. What we want this time.

Now you're coming off, you're definitely coming off more Fargo-y now. I don't know if it's just we just talked about it or if it's, or if I'm just, my ears are hearing it

differently now. Well, you're at least, you're at least at three now because Lift Hard, Live Easy, Arnold, and Unpaid and underrated right

so i know but i'm way behind i'll have to catch up tons of time actually like have they put a time limit on that and and definitely it's it's gonna be i think i think they overestimated how many people were gonna actually uh be at the, was it 14 Mark? Cause I think, I think Taylor asked me like a few months ago, I was like, Oh, I don't know.

It'd be like three or four people. And maybe, and it's like, there's gonna be like one possibly just cause it's so, well, they don't have any, we haven't had a competition for a minute either. So that's like,

I gotta get competition or four years when I'm like, I'm stuck. Yeah. Yeah. It's the four years and the backlog for me. But even if I did the backlog and went to Crew Falls, that still only puts me at

14. Right? We'll all get there one of these days. That's something to look forward to. Alright, so you said that the lift shit was your first shirt. What one do you wish you had? I want the lift it shirt with Arnold.

I want that one. And I want a sweatshirt. I'm a big sweatshirt girl. I wear sweatshirts. I wear zip ups, hoodies almost every single day. So I do want one of their sweatshirts and I will get one. I'm a big,

I'm a big hoodie girl too. Do you like hoodies or zip-ups? Not zip-ups. I actually don't enjoy zip-ups that much. I like the over the head. The pullover. The jumper. I have a couple zip-ups, but they're just not my favorite thing.

As long as we all agree that a one-quarter top, just having the top zip up from like your neck down to your like nipples is the dumbest fucking thing in the world. And the most useless shirt in the world. My company, my company gave those out last year. It's like,

so it's a car heart, like a hundred dollar hoodie, but it's, it's a hoodie, but then it's got a zipper that comes down from like literally the neckline to your mid chest. So, and then it's just the most uncomfortable. down from literally the neckline to your mid-chest. It's the most uncomfortable... It's when you need a cool chest.

Sometimes your chest gets too hot. I want a hoodie or a full zip. I wear a Carhartt full zip four months out of the year, every day, so I'm all about the full zip. You got a hot neck. You need a zipper. Hot neck. I don't know maybe uh i'm gonna hit you with a little uh verses here real quick katie so we got i want to know what's worse

the arnold bathrooms or a small venue power lifting me bathroom because i have been to some bad small venue power through meat single bathroom i have to say the bin yeah yeah they're the worst yeah have you and dave ever had to like thought about doing porta potties if you have like bigger meats because that might be a thing he had to at one dave yeah and they were filled like oh that's gross but i mean like as as like as meat directors i mean like if you see a venue and it like you know you're bringing in 300 people for the day or 400 people whatever it is

and there's two shitters like you guys almost have to drop the couple hundred all I don't even know what's a porta potty run like 200 bucks a day or something probably yeah well make sure there's enough bathroom there you go yeah it's hard to be easy to They had the arena bathrooms, right?

Yeah, yeah, we were good there. But they're just upstairs. They're not accessible. Like, when you gotta go and you're in your knee sleeves or knee wraps, you're still trying to make it up those stairs. I didn't go up any stairs. I went... Oh, no, okay, there was some...

They were downstairs. Yeah, they were downstairs, right in the entryway, right? If you're sitting upstairs, it's worse. Got it. Yeah, yeah, it's worse got it yeah yeah i remember now oh yeah you had to walk downstairs too and then like if you were a competitor there was the the disgusting men's locker room that was just like smelled so horrible of like just hockey pads and stuff but there was like there was two or three bathrooms in there or toilets slash urinals all right They were not the cleanest. So how long, so you and Dave have been running XPC Meats.

That's, well, before that it was USPA. How long in general have you guys been doing Meats? I believe our first one was in 2000. Okay. Yeah, so.

I feel like it's been longer yeah i can imagine uh what do you have you guys averaging about four or five meets a year or is it kind of all over the place yeah both four yeah that's that's yeah one one one a quarter is probably all you'd want to do i mean it's endless you know considering you know two full-time jobs family kids etc like who's got time for that to be a lot yeah but it's still it's yeah it's definitely not light work um but i mean before that you know before dave it sounds like you weren't really into lifting so tell me about the journey of of getting into being you know strictly'm going to go cardio this up to, well,

I could lift some of that. Tell me about that journey. Well, I, when we, yeah, when we met, I didn't lift at all. No. And then I got into cardio and that's all I did was cardio. And then he got me in lifting, didn't know still what the heck I was doing so but after he did his first powerlifting meet he got me into it and I was obviously I'm like oh I can't do it and so he signed me up without me knowing so I was like you fucker that's awesome no but I'm happy he did because i fell in love with it so and i but i haven't done for probably a thousand i'm my back is all fucked up and i would love to do another one though but doing putting these on is what keeps me in with everything so well i mean i hear there's some open spots at the lift hard live easy i should just jump on it yeah you just just pull a pat mcafee and we'll pull you out from the

from the announce table and just your music hits and it's your music and we're like you're going yeah no i yeah i love it i absolutely love it so i hear that um did you get to pick your first singlet or did dave pick it for you got arrested first one yeah just plain just generic and then i got an insert one i think i get all fancy like Dave does. No, yeah, with the green leopard stripe. Yeah, the green zebra. Yeah, yeah, that's what it is, zebra. With his matching zebra gym bag.

But, yeah, no. I wish I went a little bit fancier, but. That's all right. You go do what you got to do, right? Well, yeah. And then I've never never i did raps so i was always rapping myself too so i kind of wish i had him rapid but i don't think he knew what the fuck he was doing now did you get into like you know raw with raps just because it was what dave was doing or it was like i don't like knee sleeves

yeah because i would wrap him because that's a that's a that's a bold like never done a meet don't want you do so what do you do still do wraps or you just knee sleeves or you're not squatting too much now or not squatting too much now everything's more lightweight higher up for me. Word. Blah. That sounds horrible. That sounds so miserable. I know, it does. It is. No. There's going to be some variations you can do. They still put a little

heavy weight out there, but you do what's best for your body. It's deadlifts that really screw me up. If I get past even like 225 or deadlifts my back just hates me so and i've gone to a chiropractor i've gotten massages i've done dry needling i've done yeah i just need to you played around with any uh like like higher like a like a rack pull or a block pull or even a trap bar or anything oh you got to implement some of that right i mean you do whatever

you do whatever your coach or whatever you want to do for your own training. But like, I agree, I've suffered from back pain for years and years and years. And like, I will only deadlift from the floor like once a month at best, like even even if I'm like powerlifting outside of like, you know, the last few weeks of a prep. But yeah, I rack pull and rotate the high handle trap bar and all that stuff and still get like some stimulation to that area. But at a more advantageous to you.

You're not hurting yourself. I definitely have not suffered from back pain in a long time, but knee pain, oh boy. That's coming for you. That's coming for you. Experienced any knee pain? It's all back in my side. It flares up.

My right leg MCLcl that went first which was an old injury from a car accident and then i guess i just over squatted two weeks ago now my left mcl is is doing the same thing so like that's fine we'll just go bench and deadlift you don't need your knees to deadlift knee pain definitely sounds very much least fun. So let's kind of segue into a little game we like to play now, Katie. We do least fun, most fun. So I'm going to give you a couple topics. I'm going to give you one topic, and then you're going to tell me the least fun and most fun thing about it.

And then we'll do one more topic with the same concept. So not comparing them against each other. It's not unpaid or underrated, but at least your favorite thing and your least favorite thing about said topic. So hosting meets in general., least fun, most fun. Least fun, probably set up. Yeah. Right? I could see that.

Set up. But once it's all set up and then it just, all the stress just goes away. But most fun is just watching, meeting i love wayan because i meet everybody and i love obviously the meat but yeah that's the best meat and wayan you had to have a busy day at the uh at the what was the shield maiden is that what you guys did were the all-female meet so like how many uh how many how many girls end up competing in that give or take uh 30 okay so 30 females versus a normal meet you might have like 10 max so you had a busy day to win weigh-ins then because obviously a day would weigh in the males and you'd weigh in the females typically i'd imagine right so you had to weigh in 30 girls in a morning when you were used

to weigh in in like five or ten yeah well what's nice with xvc now you do like uspa we had to like females had to weigh in females but with xvc now we don't because they can we have the scale outside at the door oh okay okay so you can blind okay so i got you i got i think i do remember that so much easier yeah dave just sent you into the bathroom and you got the cord coming out from underneath the door right okay okay so that's a really good idea no more naked weigh-ins yeah yeah we still be naked you just want you know you don't have an audience right exactly or we would keep one by the table and if they didn't care they could just wait and right there yeah the uh the federation i i work in now it's like no more naked weigh-ins. You just can't do that. It's inappropriate. So that makes sense.

Indeed. Okay, so my second one here for you of least fun, most fun, Katie. I'm going to go with having four brothers and being the only female in the house. Or the only female daughter, the kid. Least fun, most fun. Least fun is, yeah, I didn't have a... So that sucked, but...

And I only fought with one of my brothers, my youngest. Craphead. I'll be sure to send him this episode. He called you a craphead. Are you going to put up with that? We're better now yeah well and i work with my oldest brother all the time so but best is just they're i don't know it's fun to be with

them especially working with them so i work with three of them oh wow i couldn't do that like you could do that no i couldn't do that. Like I, I, I'm a firm believer family and like business should not mix, but I understand that that is, uh, you know, your guys' life, your family owns an asphalt business, right? I was going to say, that's because you have a boring job. You don't drive a, what do you, a front loader is what you drive? Yeah. I always see a payloader.

Yep. That's pretty cool. Yeah. You drive a hydro truck she's driving big things so how long is the phase that like uh like grandparents started it or just your parents yeah my grandparents so hubert always is um my grandpa's name so it's hubert and sons and then my dad owns it now so it's me and three of my brothers and then and i and then i do office work also so which i'm not a fan of the office work but i do it anyway it's got to be done

it's got to be done yeah so of all the fun things i've done on this podcast which are shots of jagger shots of fireball hits of ammonia picklebacks i'm now doing fucking eye drops just so i can watch the screen i can't wait to see what the journey of this podcast does to us i was uh driving to work the other day and my co-worker had to put eye drops in because he got something in. And I was just like, just like literally just wait until I get on a straightaway. You're like trying to put eye drops in as I'm like going like around this huge ass bend. Just give me 30 seconds, dummy.

Yeah. Yeah. As my allergies get worse and worse and worse, we're going to see where this goes. You can start breathing into it like like Dave take. I do. I was trying. I was trying to like I just haven't had a ton of podcasts that i've i don't know i was looking to get back into like a lifting podcast and i was like all right i found a dave tate one i'm gonna listen to and just like the first 90 seconds i had to

shut it off because he did the snort like 24 times i was like i can't do it i don't know if they're all that bad or if it's just that it's been pointed out so many times now but like it's even if it's good content like it needs to go through ai and like fucking 86 the fucking snorting because i cannot listen to the episodes anymore i was i was listening to the mike van wick episode because it's two and a half hours long so it's like in between our podcast and masonomics i have to like juggle around it and yeah yeah he's uh you get him and you get another super heavyweight on and it's just like that's just like the way they breathe is that snorted uh anyway sorry to hijack that there for katie i just you guys kind of paused for a second and you were like what is he doing and

it's like i'm literally just making sure i can look at the screen for the next half an hour. So are you still drawing any, Katie? Or was that more of a childhood thing? Here and there. I love drawing all the time. I wouldn't mind getting into digital art. That's what my daughter does right now. Who does the XPC logos and stuff and like the uh meat you know i i do that i put that together there you go you're still drawn do the flyers

here and there yeah a little bit but as joey said that's not nothing there ain't nothing i dig it uh now you okay hold on like i think one of the coolest things there's two there's one I really want to talk about and part of me wants to save it for a game maybe we'll talk about the ice cream thing so like you do your own ice cream yeah

well blizzards as you would call them yeah yeah the DQ blizzards oh yeah get your favorite ice cream get all the mixins and mix it up as you would call them. Yeah, the DQ blizzards. Oh, yeah. Get your favorite ice cream. Get all the mix-ins and mix it up. Then you can throw a little bit of protein in there.

You gotta add protein. Are you putting that in the blender or are you just big mixing bowl and taking it to town? She's doing marble. She's doing marble slaps. Gotta use the muscles come on so this is something i haven't thought about in a long time but like i would do that something similar as a kid i would basically just add you know whatever vanilla ice cream or any kind of

already flavored ice cream and i'm always adding like a couple scoops of peanut butter and some hershey syrup to it but then when you're mixing it up there's that fine point where it goes from like like ice cream with toppings to where it's so mixed up. It's like borderline, like frosty milkshake. And it's a completely different texture and even changes the flavor. So it's like, I like both, but it's like, if you don't expect to get it to that consistency and then it changes on you and you're like, shit, I didn't want that. It's a, so where, where are you on that consistency of mixing up your blizzard slash ice cream? You need it chunky. I don't know i like chunks if you do if

you get rid of all the chunks yeah that's no i i tend to agree i think i've asked this before so where are we gonna lie on hard shell syrup i don't know do you know you can add like a hard shell syrup i haven't had it forever. They're everywhere. It's one of those things I see at the grocery store. I used to like those, but then you start thinking to yourself, who's buying those? I used to love those. The Reese's one, it would be peanut butter chocolate.

Keith, you're kind of shaking your head. It's a syrup. You lost me. It's a syrup, and you pour it on your ice cream, and the cold causes it to turn hard. Oh, okay. I can envision that. I think I've seen it. Yeah. Kind of like the dipped cone. Yeah, the dipped cone.

Yeah, it's kind of two. Which I've never thought about. That has to be something in the... Because you go to Dairy Queen or wherever and you get a cone dipped. There's no way it's just regular Hershey syrup or chocolate fudge. No, no. Some chemical fucking compound in there to make it. I have no idea either.

Whatever it is, it's delicious. Oh, yeah. It's tasty. I totally agree. Delicious chemical compounds. There's your title for this week. I would say it'd be good, but I couldn't have it all the time. It wouldn't be worth having more than 20% of the time.

Well, yeah. I actually don't even eat ice cream. Morgan bought sticks. You watch Shorzy, so I'm sitting outside on the porch and she walks in and she goes, how do you feel about a stick? I was like, fuck, I'd have a stick. And then I was like, no, I don't want one.

I feel bloated if I have it. A stick is like the ice cream cone like the drumsticks but they just call them sticks you just call them sticks? yep it's Canadian slang I guess

yeah I managed the first three episodes of that the other day I was like bootlegged and really shitty quality like I can't wait for this to come out in Hulu like six months from now we're already getting them 4k no big deal we're just canadian you know so are they um so i don't know how much you know about how this started um i think one of the first calls we had katie um and it was between about 12 of us and i had just left work i was at work early or late that night and we went to a i went to a restaurant on in the middle of this discord call with all of the people that wanted to be a part of this

podcast and i didn't mute myself when i ordered so obnoxious i know it was so annoying but i was just so hungry and annoyed because remember i was up was up late. I was pissed. And you guys were like, mute yourself. I was like, shut up, I'm hungry. So just like when you go to a restaurant, I do what I always do. I get the menu, I look it over, and then I order the same thing.

So I ordered the chicken tendie. So I understand you're also a chicken tendies person. Oh, love. Now we go in strips, popcorn, nuggies. What are we doing here? Strips. Yeah.

Best for dipping. Best for dipping. What's your dip? I love ranch. What? Yes. What do I do? Well, there's a ghost pepper ranch that you can get add some hot sauce to your ranch that's always good i am so weak when it comes to anything spicy oh we'll get to that um wendy's right now is putting them out the heinz makes them and their ghost pepper ranch

and they're not that they're they could be jalapeno for all it matters but like really like what's your level of spice you can handle i'm i'm i'm weak weakish something that's probably like nothing to you is hot to me like black like black peppers too much yeah well i'll put pepper on stuff but i don't even eat peppers the closest pepper i'll eat is a banana pepper all right chili flakes are out of the question on your pizza no i don't know you guys i'm working i'm working

but i'm a ranch connoisseur as well so i can number here we can stop talking spicy let's talk about ranch for a couple minutes so like so you'd like bottled ranch like i think bottled ranch is trash in every aspect of it and like if i go to a restaurant and they have like you could tell it's bottled ranch i would like opt for barbecue or ketchup honestly honest question where else does ranch come from what are you trying to just say everything's made up in concoctions of other shit so shut up no no like where do

you think ranch oh it's like how do they distribute ranch to you it's all in a bottle dude no people will make homemade like 25% of the restaurants that I go to that serve ranch make it fresh either that day or the day before. What's fresh ranch?

Literally homemade ranch. Like not out of a bottle, not from like a fucking restaurant distributor. Like five ingredients mixed up and whipped up in a container and served fresh. And so you're telling me that if somebody puts ranch on the table, you're going to take a bite and be like... That's a fucking Lutely. Yeah? That's a fucking Lutely. Oh, yeah.

You can tell different restaurants taste different. They're ranch. I asked the serving staff, like, do you guys have homemade ranch? Oh, they love you. One girl recently was like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Sure. That's definitely... I brought her.

She brought it out. It clearly store-bought fucking garbage. And I was like, can I get some ketchup? Because, like, this is trash. I didn't say that this is trash, but I was just like, can I please get some ketchup for these fries? Because this ranch is fucking garbage. This is trash. Give me the

other trash. Is what you did there. But, so, I'm not going to waste. And they spit in your ketchup. Ranch is horribly unhealthy for you, so I'm not going to waste the macros on it if it tastes like shit because ketchup or because what's unhealthy about it everything probably it's like literally fucking like mayonnaise and like buttermilk

dressing or something in it so it's like it's super not healthy do you have a favorite do you have a favorite ranch katie i like buttermilk ranch but i meant like a like if you were to go like restaurant yeah there you go. I would say Rushmore, but that's kind of a hard one to think of a four. Oh, gosh. Yeah, that would be hard. If you could put ranch on any fridge, if you could wake up and have any ranch in your fridge, what would it be? Man, that's hard.

Do you ever make your own ranch? Make your own ice cream i know i should right no that's right if you don't have one i don't have one but i like it's not ranch but the granite city dip here at the granite city here they They make their own Granite City dip. And it's so good. Well, what's that? Give us something that has a similar taste. It might be even better than... Give me like an adjacent to this flavor.

It's a little thicker than ranch. And it does have like a bite to it. Which I don't like spicy, but I do like that. Interesting. A little bit of a bite never hurt nobody. Yeah. No, a little bit's okay. All right.

That's enough ranch. I'm still, my eyes are on fire right now, and I don't know what to do about it. I'm just going to do the rest of the podcast with my eyes closed, so bear with me. All right. So when you go catfishing, are you noodling? No, that would be awesome.

That would be awesome. No. We catch golden eyes, and then we use those to catch the catfish. So, mm-hmm. I was wondering, like... I didn't even get to go last year, I don't think. Catfish is, like, one of the only fish I actually eat.

They're good, yeah. Yeah, Catfish is one of the only fish I actually eat. They're good. Catfish is definitely really good. Obviously, I eat sushi and salmon and stuff like that, like the big ones, but if I see catfish on a menu and I trust the restaurant, I'm usually getting it.

Go ahead. It's called catfish. They have fucking whiskers and shit, too. Don't they? Yeah, spikes. dems are spikes um noodling to the hand fishing so funny yeah because they have what is it bull heads is they look like catfish but those do sting you oh catfish will sting you won't they like with the they've got the serrated fin those won't no catfish won't i've touched their whiskers i think it's full i'm i don't know i'd have to look it up

well catfish have the whiskers but they're not the whiskers aren't pointy but i understand that their fins are serrated right so if you grab it by the fin, it's like backwards serrated. So it goes into your skin the wrong way. But no, noodling is definitely, I'm not big enough to go noodling. My arms are not big enough to go noodling for catfish. It'd end up in your fucking armpit hair. Yeah. I would be wearing a whole catfish at some point. It'd be all the way up here.

Yeah. It's weird. I even know about noodling. Like, I've been in Canada. Oh, those are fun to watch. Yeah, definitely worth, like, if you don't know what it is, take a look. But that's, uh, geez, that's most of that covered. Can I even read right now? Have you used the glaze scale yet? have you seen what the glaze scale is katie oh so that's really fun so uh our producer nate hyper fixated for a little

bit and created a website where you could go and see what keith um rates movies and imdb so apparently keith has been rating movies uh neurotically for the past six or seven years i don't know like do you think it was 2012 when it started and then i backdated every movie i've ever watched in my entire life that i could remember so i'm gonna go ahead and look up your favorite movie if i can remember how to do so. I don't know if I've seen that or not. Fuck. I know what it is, but I don't. If you haven't seen this movie, so what is your favorite movie there, Katie?

I have a... Do you have one from the 80s that you really like that involved Muppets? Well, I have one that I've liked since I was young. I have Labyrinth. I don't know if you've heard of that. That's the one we're chatting about. I want to go see what the Glaze skill is.

GlazeSearch.com is the website. GlazeSearch.com I just checked IMDb. I've never seen it. I know what it is. I've seen bits and pieces of it. Isn't it like a musical more than anything? I can't.

It's got David Bowie. i can't do a musical it's got david bowie and his glorious package i'm not into i know i'm not big into musicals but i don't know i i like i'm weird like that i like the jimmy lincoln and the yeah and like all that shit huge muppet fan the muppets are like my favorite form of comedy ever since i was a kid but isn't there only one song in that movie there's like two or three in love there's the you remind me of the babe song and i'll be damned if i can remember the other one and there's one right at the end oh okay yeah I also have not

seen that movie since I was very young the dance magic is the more main one yes that's the big popular one are you a fan of all of like other Muppet stuff um I like the Muppets but um like I said with Jim Hansen I like the Muppets, but

like I said with Jim Hansen, I like the Dark Crystal. I don't know if you've seen that either. I know what it is. I don't. I think it's kind of in that same vein for me. And they just remade it, I think. I'm not sure.

Did they? There was a remake on Netflix. Oh, wait, no, I did see that one. Yes, I did. Go ahead. Oh, no, I'm a fan. I like all genres. I like fantasy.

I like sci-fi. I like crime-fighting movies. I like sci-fi I like criminal movies, crime fighting movies I like anything but So big fan of The Dark Knight I like The Dark Knight We hear you're a Heath Ledger fan Yes

I do I fell in love with The 10 Things I Hate About You That's a good place to start Now do we include I do. I fell in love with the 10 Things I Hate About You movie. That's a good place to start. Now, do we include A Knight's Tale? Is that actually a good movie? I didn't mind it.

I didn't think it was his best, but yeah. It was weird. I'm sorry. No, go ahead. The ACDC during Knight's Fighting. The Queen. well i'm sorry yeah no he's no go ahead the the acdc during like nights fighting just the queen actually they did that and when i was at the renaissance fair they tried to get us all to do that in the stands they couldn't and we kind of hated it i was like this is rock and roll like play some like i don't know it was weird wasn't a bad movie but but... No, Steve Tudyk made it great, and I think that's going to be a common thing

going on in this podcast, is Steve Tudyk makes everything amazing. He was the Naked Scots poet in that, but he tends to come up a lot because he's in every great movie in one form or another. He was the captain of Firefly, right? Or the pilot, that is is the pilot in firefly

yeah yes he's the one that died spoiler alert well yeah spoiler serenity yeah yep yeah it was serenity died and not the firefly yeah they literally killed off like half the cast in serenity i think yeah but also it's been like 10 years. Get over it. But he was also like, he was like also, he was the voice of the chicken in Moana. Like Steve Tudyk has done everything incredible. All right. Here's a fun thing you and I both share

is our hatred of other people. I love that Dave put it too. People, like people in general, in public no and okay so like i i like i'm so bad no you're a kindred spirit i like individuals i'm okay with like one-to-one human beings but god like the moment morgan's like we have to go to walmart i'm like i need i need an hour of preparation mentally to go there and deal with these smelly loud pickup oh i know but sometimes a lot of the time you know with the way i work and i might not have tomorrow off suddenly so we got to make sure that we go that day. So yeah,

definitely. What, what is it about? What is it about that? That bothers you the most? I think it's just the amount of people, the social anxiety of everything. Too much.

People don't like, I, I'm not a big small talk person. I don't like small talk. I'm going to, we're going to small talk so much in Aberdeen. But how are you doing you're doing good good bye oh okay do you watch letter candy at all katie no okay yeah so i started doing

the the how are you now good and you not so bad and like and i've become so annoying as fuck in person no it's actually flawless because it's it gets the small talk out of the way in a rehearsed and practiced way okay right so like if i walk into a room and somebody be like joey how's going i'm like good new and they go no and then i just like that's it that's that's the conversation and then i can do whatever i was about to do uh it's it. That's, that's the conversation. And then I can do whatever I was about to do. It's, it's practiced. And I, somebody told me the other day, like, cause I'm in customer service. And they're like, how do you hate people?

And you're in customer service. And I said, well, here's the thing about that. I turned to one of the guys there. He's an Indian guy. I said, is English, is English your first language? He said, no. I was like, I can tell there. He's an Indian guy. I said, is English your first language? He said, no. I was like, I can tell because you're really good at it. Because when you learn something as a second language, you follow the rules perfectly.

You speak better English than the people who grew up speaking it. That's why I'm so good at being nice. I learned how to be nice as a second language. I learned the rules of society. I learned the rules of society. I learned the rules of being in public. And now suddenly I'm so good at them that I work in customer service and excel at it. But when I go home,

leave me alone. Yeah. If you phone me and I'm off, you're going to get grumpy, nasty, like, but when I'm at work, I'm on,

I'm on, you know, I'm on you know i'm on point no it's it's definitely it's a skill to learn for sure you want to jump into a game there keith yeah what do you uh i can do fmk i guess there's a good one um so you're a big fan of the uh you know, all things Harry Potter, it seems like, I'm guessing. Yeah, I like Harry Potter a lot. Yeah. Okay, so we're going to go a little fuck, marry, kill, you know, Hogwarts edition. So FMK, Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Draco Malfoy, FMK.

Our dog's name is Draco, and this is mean to kill him. But the dog or Draco? No, Draco. The dog's name is Draco. I know, I know. No, I know, I know. I was just messing with you.

Say that, though. Your dog just heard you say that. Jesus Christ, Katie. Poor puppy. Oh my God, 14. Tell him I love him. That's what's crazy. I think Harry Potter probably came out 20 years ago, so it's like

we're old. I would say fuck Harry and then marry Ron. Ron is just he's goofy, he's funny, he would, Ron. Ron is just... He's goofy. He's funny. He would... Yeah. Ron for Dave?

Yep. Yep. Probably way off, but totally. I dig it. Good answers. Okay, so I'm going to move into the Mount Rushmore. And I think I said I might save this one for a game. So I want to go Mount Rushmore roller coasters.

I love roller coasters. So do I. That's why I brought it up. Do you love roller coasters? Absolutely. Yes. But I want to go and travel to more amusement places to go on more roller coasters. See, I haven't been to too many places.

So I'm going to ask you to Mount Rushmore them, but I would love a brief description of why and why maybe I should come to North Dakota for that one. Oh, you cut out. Sorry, Joey. Oh, I said I would love to, like, give me the Mount Rushmore. Let's do carnival rides then. Okay, let's not focus on just roller coasters yeah and and why they're your favorite and like they all have brand names but they're all kind of like specifically generic you know like they're all a little unspecifically generic sorry so give me those ones and then we'll have a roller coaster chat afterwards. I like, I don't know if you heard of

Kamikaze. Can you describe it? They haven't had it. They used to have it at our county fair all the time. There's two carts and it would go side to side and then they'd go upside down and cross.

Yep. Okay. So a lot of the time they're branded as like viking ships sometimes yeah yes absolutely yes okay that's a good one i like that um thing gosh there was one at the fair this last year it was called like dance off or something can't remember what it's called i think it was dance off it was called like dance off or something i can't remember what it's called i think it was dance off it was like like you're in a cart and it spins while everything else spins are you are you in your with you i like it are you in your own cart yep you're so it's like yep your own cart okay and there's two like on a. And you're spinning while the whole entire thing's spinning.

So multiple cars are all spinning. Okay, yes. Definitely, yeah. I've seen those. I don't think I've been on one because... Does it go upside down too? That one does not. Okay.

It does flip you like sides. I have an idea of what you're thinking. Yep. I know what you're thinking of. Yep. That's two. Those are probably... It's two. I need two more. It's of. Yep. That's two. I need two more.

It's Matt Rushmore. I know a lot of people don't like the zipper. I like it. The zipper is the spin and then it spins. The spin with the... Yeah. It's scary as hell. And there's nothing holding you in. That's the sad part.

Yeah. And that's the one that touches you. That's the one that my wife said, I don't want to go on these with you anymore. I took her on the zipper at the Canadian National Expo. You feel like you're going to die in it. She's like, I'm not doing these with you anymore. You are on your own. And I was like, yeah, that's fair.

One more. Oh, gosh. Oh. with you anymore you are on your own and i was like yeah that's fair one more oh gosh i don't mind the ring of fire and i know it's probably been called other things other places what's the circle one that goes upside down and it will just hang upside down it's just the circle you. You're in a train cart and you go back and forth and they'll hang you upside down. It's called different things. I think it's called the Bat here in

Wonderland. Alright, well that was pretty good. The Ring of Fire. Did they play Johnny Cash the entire time you were on it to annoy you? No. Just different variations of that song. All right.

Sounds like we got to get you up here to Canada. We have what's called the Yukon Striker. And the Yukon Striker has the longest free fall of any roller coaster in North America. Yeah so well i went i think i've told the story of the podcast before so i went um a week before my son was going to be born it was the week canada's wonderland opened so there was like nobody there because like nothing was working right i think it was such a windy day that the bungee wasn't working so i was like okay whatever i want to go on this i heard like we have a record setting roller coaster in canada i'm riding that and i met some kid his mom just he had a booklet

he had this little booklet and he travels all of north america just to go on roller coasters and he was this coolest guy and like him and i he had to have been like 12 and i'm like near 30 at 35 at this point but him and i just like kept meeting like every time we'd go on a ride he would be like hey do you want to sit with me and i'd be like yeah i absolutely do my boy but yeah so this roller coaster what it does is you start and it goes and it hangs right at the top and you're looking down. And not only does it go down, it goes underground. And it hangs you at the top

so you can see the fall you're about to have. And then it pauses. And then it drops and scares the crap out of you and then it has a bunch of loop-de-loops and so yeah i understand dave does not like going on these with you he likes roller coasters he does not like like stationary spinning rides okay so so like a teacup he would absolutely hate my kids love those i hate those so it sounds like yeah you got to come up to canada's wonderland add that to your list of uh of adventures because they have some of the biggest roller coasters in canada and north america and uh yeah definitely i'm a huge fan and every time we

go somewhere i'm the only one that's like i want to go on every ride here except for oran you can't because he's five my wife like is not going to any of those with you. Check it out. The Yukon Striker. There's YouTube videos of people absolutely losing their mind because it is a big drop. Yeah. Yeah.

We're going to Universal here in September and Disney. That'll be fun. Universal has more of the roller coasters. here, September, and Disney. That'll be fun. But Universal has more of the roller coasters. Yeah. Canada's Wonderland has a lot of that

crazy, spinny, wild stuff, but it also has three major roller coasters. One's called The Behemoth. I think it's the world's longest roller coaster. It might even be the longest wooden roller coaster. I'm not quite sure I remember that one. That one's wild.

Wooden roller coasters are insanely scary. They are. I totally agree with you on that one. Yeah, yeah. Different sounds, different bumps. They are so loud, so shaky. Yeah, and you're just like, well... That's at the Valley Fair here.

We're all going to die. That's just fine. Like, a wood wasp is gonna take me out taking the whole time i don't think i've been on a roller coaster in jesus at least a decade probably like stephanie can't do anything like that since she had her neck surgery so it's like not even an option anymore and what am i gonna go to a fucking roller coaster land by myself i don't know yes i i would i did like i was just actually because i knew it was my last chance i was like i'm gonna go on all these scary rides because i'm not gonna have a chance for 12 more years so i'm going to these now i know luckily our kids like them so

they go on them with us and our son is finally tall enough to go on most of them. So, and he loves them. So, and that's like, but we can't have, we have four, we each have a partner.

So, Oh, that's good. Yeah. I know. No, I liked the, I also liked the one that spins and then the floor drops.

No. Yeah. And you're just like, you're stuck against the wall. Oh gosh. Gravitron I think is what it's called oh man I went on that a couple years ago and I don't know

if it's because it was like 90 degrees out but it was human nasty I got so sick to my stomach and I'm like what's wrong with me I love that ride though yeah but that ride's insanely fun you go like stick to the wall and you have kids like sideways sideways and upside down how you don't fall out of that one like that just seems

one of my favorite things is uh i'm sure everyone's seen it on internet you know on instagram and all that as uh the guy at the uh on the amusement park ride where the floor just drops out and you just fall. He's like, oh, wait, let me get your headrest on. You're over the shoulder thing. It's not a thing. He's fucking with him. And then he hits the button and they just free fall

thinking that they're going to fucking die. That's kind of shitty, but really funny, but really shitty. Yeah, that's you had it coming on the scary ride. Alright, Kate, I got a very important question for you that I'm going to judge your entire being by your answer here. Alright, I hear

you like peanut butter, so crunchy or creamy? Crunchy or creamy peanut butter? I like creamy. There you go. Then we can be friends. I like creamy. I hate crunchy peanut butter, and everyone else should in the whole world. Good answer? I like creamy. There you go. Then we can be friends. I like creamy. I hate crunchy peanut butter and everyone else should in the whole world. Good answer. I like creamy. Nice. Nah.

If you like chunky ice cream. Are you crunchy, Joey? Absolutely. But I also just eat peanuts. I love dry roasted or honey roasted peanuts. I buy them and then I eat three quarters of the bottle and then I throw the rest out because then I don't touch it again for weeks. Cause I will honestly eat them till they make me sick.

Like I can't keep them in the house. I will eat peanuts. I'll sit there and eat the planters jar and I'll have handful after handful and then I'll have to turn to Morgan. I'll go hide these from me. Take them away. I'm, my stomach is upset. I want to throw up, but I and I'll go hide these from me. Take them away. I'm my stomach is upset. I want to throw up, but I won't stop.

Take them from me. Yeah. There's regularly shit hidden in my house. Like I, my Stephanie's good about that. I'm like, I need you to hide this. Like I can't have this jar of peanut butter out because I will eat the

whole thing. I can't have this bag of cookies out. I'll eat the whole thing. But my favorite thing in the world, all dressed chips. I'll buy, I'll have like a handful and then I'll let them rot. But they're my favorite thing in the world all dress chips i'll buy i'll have like a handful and then i'll let them rot but they're my favorite thing in the world but peanuts nope nope nope i'll just

eat them until they kill me so what's your uh you don't like tomatoes huh no not not a fan of the tomato i'm weird i don't know yeah my friends make fun of me. And they know every time they get something like, hey, he doesn't like tomatoes. Yeah, I say no tomatoes for everything. But here, I like chunky salsa, if it's not too hot. But with chopped tomatoes. Is it just like the texture? So you eat pizza sauce, and it's not not anything with tomato paste, right?

It's just a slice of tomato on a sandwich? Yeah, like a fresh tomato. It's horrible. Because you think, oh, it's fresh tomato. That's best. No. That's kind of wild. But it makes sense.

It's the Nightshade family, right? We're not supposed to eat those. I don't know if people understand that. They're pretty acidic, aren't they? Yeah. The Nightshade family is poison. And are just like you know what screw you poison we're gonna eat this anyway but it's the same thing for spicy peppers like where did we are not a destined to last very long as a species because we just do all the things nature tells us not to do don't eat that i'm gonna eat that. I'm going to eat that.

Yeah, I'm going to eat that. I'm going to put it on crackers. I have a pair of older brothers who are twins or six years older than me. And yeah, they both like loathe tomatoes. Well, you know, 45 year old men

will still like, you know, no tomato on their salad. It's just this. But I never got that, I guess, from my side. You have twin brothers? No onions. I have brothers that are twins. I don't have twin brothers? I have brothers that are twins.

I don't have a twin. You have brothers that are twins? Yes. This is episode 507. I'm just finding this out. I'm sure I've mentioned it before. I'm the baby. My mom.

That explains a lot. I guess technically they're half-brothers, but my dad adopted them when they were like 12, so they're my guess technically they're half brothers but my dad adopted them when they were like 12 so you know they're my brothers they're brothers brothers yeah yeah yeah yeah there's no there's no like or half brother or anything but like sometimes i forget sometimes too like we technically don't have the same biological father but like the same dad so it's you know yeah my brothers are both different fathers same mother and at no point have i ever called them half brothers i get you but yeah but now i just really want to know more about your brothers that are twins because then i can

know more about you they're out there i don't uh i don't know being six years older like i never really we were never on the same wavelength like ever in my entire life like even now like they all have kids and shit and we just you know never really clicked as adults it's kind of i don't know i don't think they know me that well honestly all right then yeah we have this game we like to play yeah we have this game we like to play called unpaid and underrated i don't think we're there just yet but um we got some good stuff i think still we did get like d Dave gave me like pages of stuff. Your mom gave me some stuff.

I think some of your family members, some of your, I think your cousin or your mom gave me some stuff. So we do always appreciate people that, uh, you know, have a handful of people ready to go to give us information because I did something I almost never do.

I went through your social media and I added a bunch to unpaid and underrated today. Nice. Did you find her tiktok i've been i've been looking for the tiktok because i got i got a whole thing about how your tiktok famous and uh did you do tiktoks one video went viral what was that and it was the stupidest one they usually are what what was that video i've been right it's the one that you didn't try i was just like oh this was funny uh i was at work

and i was like oh i'm just gonna do one oh oh when people sneeze just i put when normal people sneeze and you just sneeze and then i was like when mom sneezed and i poured a whole water bottle like pissed yourself i pee myself i can't help it And people are like, something's wrong with you. And I'm like, this is a joke. And also, there's nothing wrong with you. It's your pelvic floor drops after you have babies. Like, it happens. Get over it.

God, like the other day I came home. I know, but I'm like, okay. Morgan, I came outside and I came in the house nobody was there i came outside and morgan was there with the kids and she looks at me and she goes i'm glad you're home i need to go change and i was like what and she's like yeah i sneezed too hard and like you just like that just happens like it's obviously there's things you can do to fix it but once you have kids it's just not the same right and men are like yeah men are like gross get over it dude like you go push something out and tell me everything's the same yes thank you

i know people are like you need to get that fixed i'm like come on yeah yeah you had the easy job dude yeah you had you got to wipe off with a baby wipe after and you were fine man yeah so that was my viral video me you know pissing myself like a whole water bottle but you know most most of them were like oh totally know what you mean oh this is hilarious yeah our brains like to focus on the negative. That's just a thing our brains do. Well, so funny enough, that wasn't the only pee talk in the notes. Someone said you're very good

at taking care of yourself on the road when you have to go to the bathroom and there's nowhere to go. You know, do you have one of those she-wees? Oh, God, I need one. I mean, you getting really good with a Gatorade bottle or you got to get that?

No, shaker bottle works the best. Oh, nice. I just, yeah. There was never a time to throw a shaker bottle out. It was after that probably. I had to do that. And I had to pee in the middle of, speaking of rides, I had to do it in queue, like in a line. And luckily it was dark, but it was packed you know front to back and i couldn't

leave and so i'm like god forbid you get out of line to go pee like yeah i was gonna lose my spot we weren't gonna be able to go and dave's like you're gonna have to hold it i'm like no i will literally die and piss myself so luckily there's like this dark it was a dark queue and there's this dark corner and i'm like dave fucking stand in front of me and give me the shaker bottle and i did it failed the whole fucking thing and did you take it with you did you did so i i would imagine this is what i would have done i would have left it when you when you put your stuff in that you don't want to lose on the ride, I just sat it there and just not picked it back up. Took it with me.

Oh, wow. Oh, wow. I hope that's not in your house still today. No. I hope that got tossed on the way home. No, no. That's awesome. We've had some really good poop stories.

That might be our first good pee story. There's your pee story. Yeah. Well, and then what makes it even worse is the ride we were in line for broke down so that's so anticlimactic oh my god so i was like pissed at a bottle for nothing there's no way someone didn't like she's pissing she's definitely they did i saw looks and they're just like i guess i gotta go i don't know that's great i've done plenty in the car too so yeah yeah definitely i'm a bottle also i was so while we're on this topic so i i was in the middle

i was on a job where they didn't have a bathroom so i always have a gatorade bottle ready to go and so i was in the back of the truck using the Gatorade bottle. And I basically have to sit and stand. I kneel in the back of a small Ford Transit. I get in the back and shut the doors. I kind of aimed where even if you're looking in the windows, you can't see anything. And I got the worst Charlie horse mid-piss. And I can't do anything because I can't stand up because it's such a small vehicle.

So I'm just sitting there trying to lean forward enough to take off the pressure from my hamstring while not pissing all over the place. It was fucking horrible. It was the worst 90 seconds of my day. I almost didn't care if I pissed all over the place, but it was just like I don't want to. I got to go work. I can't piss my pants, but this Charlie horse is

killing me. It was miserable. I wasn't going to share that story, but since we're on the topic of that, it uh i i can definitely share one too because i i pee a lot sure let's share this and i've actually told morgan i've even told morgan i don't like talking about this because it's not my highest mode uh her and i were um we were on a bus uh we we were on a bus before we had kids we would regularly do trips to the bigger city and on the way back one day I had to go

so I normally would take the train because the train has bathrooms and I have the bladder of like a fucking cat in a man sized body so on the bus right back I was like i gotta go and i've got to go like now and she's like well we got to get off the bus and i was like if you can't there's no stops

i actually had to go in a plastic bag jesus christ like so a zip bag or a grocery bag it was a restaurant bag so luckily it was there was no holes or anything in it i was just gonna ask that yeah there's holes yeah and then the luckily the first stop was right by a pub that we go to and i was like off bag in the garbage run that's as funny as fuck yeah definitely not in the favor but like like like the world for some, our world is not set up for us to just be humans in that sense. Right. Like you had an hour long bus ride. There's got to be a bathroom somewhere.

Like people have to do things. And you can't just expect that, like, well, you're going to hold it or die. Like you can't. So. How much of the best of us? Yep. Tested the bag first bike first though did that thing where like you get some air in it you squeeze it just to make sure like any air coming out is this gonna land on me not even on me is gonna land on the floor so you got some cosmetology background like so you

got your license and that is that something you did as a practice for a while or uh actually no i have my license i keep it going um but no i never pursued it because i just went into the family business so which is hosting powerlifting meets you know that's that's the family business that too are they kids? How old are your guys' kids? 12 and 9. Okay. So do they come to the meets at all and help out ever? No, not yet. No thanks. I would love them to.

That would be fun. That would actually help. Once they're in their early teens, they could legit help you around the table and just do shit. That would be – you might have to pay them. I don't know. I don't know how that works in your family. I would have – well, you might have to pay them. I don't know. I don't know how that works in your family. Like I, I would, I would, I would have,

well, I meant like, here's, you know, here's pizza. I mean, I don't think they want a t-shirt from the meat. Like you can get away with paying the spotters and loaders t-shirts.

Yeah, no, I would actually like our daughter to do it. So it would be fun to bring them with. So grandma and grandpa don't always have to watch them. Nice. The little tidal of easy is probably a good place for them. Like, we might be drinking and swearing,

but we'll still protect the kids. Just not from drinking and swearing. This is ammonia. Yeah. So we had Dave smell ammonia so we had dave on last year um and he told us all about his stalker has there been any updates on that or do you want to tell us your perspective of kind of you know well we already we had most of the episode you know but if anyone that hadn't heard that uh i thought it was a very intriguing story if you want to give us the uh the 90 second version of that or

your interpretation. Or how it affected you. Because we only heard from Dave's point of view. As the spouse of that person. It had to be even more unique. Oh it's just crazy. Yeah she even wrote me like a very long message. And I still have it.

So. And it just rambles on. It doesn't make any sense. So. Yeah. I don't know. And it's so weirdles on. It doesn't make any sense. So, yeah, I don't know. And it's so weird because we went to this out in Bismarck, Mandan area. And we went there with the kids to a fair. And then the next day, we have a cop at our door.

And I'm like, what the hell? Where's Dave? And so he's thinking that he sold a gun to somebody that was there. And he's like, oh, my gosh, this probably got used in a murder or something like that. Well, it turns out she dropped his name because she got arrested. And I'm like, how is it that we were just in this area and she pops up again? So, no, she had this whole backstory of him and I was the fake wife. I'm the fake wife. Yeah. Didn't he have a fake name or wasn't there a Shiloh farmer? Yeah. That,

that was supposed to be his name and he's not Dave Stensland. That's, that's, that's a fake name. It's a fake name. I'm his fake wife. That's pretty wild. It's yeah, it was very, it very it's scary i'm like do i need

a restraint i don't know what's going on wouldn't hurt yeah i wouldn't no i haven't heard anything she's probably locked up somewhere i'm okay with that um reptiles what do you got so you said you have the the puppy um dark or draco what do you got for what else is running around the house nothing i want nothing i want a bearded dragon so bad would be cool man i love reptiles i hear dave does not well it's a compromise it's not a dictatorship it's whatever it's whatever you know it's whatever the wife wants in my house typically but not always oh i'll get one someday there you go well let's see we did we did fmk we did mount rushmore anything else jumping out at you joey she hates exotic food anything in? What have you tried that you've hated?

Because it sounds like you might not have even tried a bunch. I'm curious. What's standing out as something you hate that's exotic? I've tried squid. And then I

went to a restaurant and everything was shit to me. And I found something that I was like, oh, this is good. I ate it. And then my friend, after we left, she's like, oh, you just ate a chicken's heart. And I was like, what? Chicken's not like, okay. Chicken heart isn't.

It wasn't bad. So I was like, oh, it's just the thought of it. But I was like, okay, well, I actually didn't heart it was it wasn't bad so i was like oh it's just the thought of it but i was like okay well i actually didn't mind it okay so what's exotic food for you like just like not normal not normal i guess okay yeah anything like i'm not you like sushi right yeah yeah we yeah you like both like sushi see i don't like sushi, but then again, I can't have shellfish. I'm allergic to shellfish. Cause shellfish is terrible. Yeah.

Yeah. Your body is right to reject it. Lobster, shrimp, oysters. They're all bugs. It's all bugs. You're eating bugs.

It is though. It's the bugs. Yeah. Yeah. Your body is right to reject it. Interestingly, though, I'm just having the impression I'll try anything at least once. Any animal... Any animal that I

would not reject, other than human. I don't think I would eat human. Unless I was, like, hammered. You might convince me, right? Are we harkening back to Ravenous here? Or is that just come out of nowhere? unless I was like, you might convince me, right? Like, but like, are we, are we harkening back to ravenous here?

Or is that just, just come out of nowhere? No, no, I'm just saying like, when it comes to exotic foods, like I don't call any of it really exotic. I think I would, if, if it's an animal,

my rule is if you can eat one, you should eat all. Right. The whole idea that if it's cute, you don't eat it. Or if it's something that I'm used to, don't need i i don't understand that i do i i like i understand why you understand that but to me it's that's not fair it's not fair to the ones that we do eat that we don't need other ones that's either you're going to eat them all or you eat none. There's no in between.

I am that way. So yeah, definitely understand where you're coming from with that one. And I would say I've tried all the shellfish. It's just terrible. It's just terrible. And I don't understand why people have convinced themselves that it's high end or,

or like good food. It's terrible. It does not taste good. We dip it in butter. Then eat butter. I was just going to say. Lobster's good with the caveat of. You add a thousand grams of fat and butter.

You're just delivering butter to your face. With a bug. Like you're not. It's some alien shit I think. But then my other question would be. If you hate exotic foods do you hate hamsters no i had a hamster i heard i heard it was a it was a really bad segue and i'm sorry

um but definitely want to hear that story. Well, it's funny because I wanted like, I almost convinced my mom to get me a guano when I was young. And then she realized that they grow enormous. They do. So she was like, no, that's out of the wind, out of the question.

So I got a hamster and his name was Irby. And Dave hated it. When so no and i think i killed it so yeah didn't mean to but you probably didn't like let's be fair i know i it's not that long ago i was listening to and it was a different podcast and they were saying that hamsters hibernate in the winter and i'm like well and they said especially if you keep them somewhere cool and i lived in the basement of my parent and it was cooler and all of a sudden it was just he was just laying there and i'm like, he's not breathing. He's like flat, just plump,

full of food. And I'm like, I think he, I think he died. So, and then I hear that they hibernate and that they eat a lot and hibernate. And a lot of people buried them and then accidentally killed them. And I'm like,

no, they can, they can dig their way out. They're rodents. Not if you put them in a bag. Oh, geez. Especially if it's a bag a bag. Oh, jeez. Especially if it's a bag of piss.

Oh, yeah, a bag of piss. Oh, no. Okay. Well, I keep telling myself I didn't. He passed away. So I have a really funny story about that that might make you feel better. Maybe. And it's one that my friends still hold against me to this day.

and it's one that my friends still hold against me to this day. So my friend, she was telling us about how she had a bunch of hamsters and when they died, she would put them in margarine containers and bury them in the yard. And I said, didn't you just have your entire yard dug up to install a fence and she's like yeah we did and i was like oh my god did those guys just discover thousands of hamster corpses and she's like yeah probably i was like oh damn like they open these margarine containers and they go i can't believe it's not dead hamster because i can't believe it's not butter is a margarine company so apparently i can't believe it's not dead hamster became the most offensive yet funniest thing i have ever said

about these four guys digging up all these hamsters yeah just wanted to take some of the air out of that sale for you. But it happens. It happens. Well, if you guys are tuning into this episode for some lift hard, live easy preview talk, I think we're going to segue past the dead hamsters and get into that. So Big Katie has a little bit of an inside track of what to expect from this July as the co-meet director there for the XPC, the sponsor, you know, the Federation running the Lift Hard Live Easy. So what are we going to see from the meet this year?

Anything different from year two? It's going to be two platforms. Just tell us what we're going to see. Give us the rundown. What's someone walking into at this meet? Well, we are going to be doing, so each lifter is not going to be lifting at the same time so it'll be focused on one so one lifter be working lifting on one platform while they're

getting ready for the next on the other so it'll still run nice and smooth back and forth but at least it will be focused on the one lifter which is what i wanted i didn't want everybody to be cheering for this and this. And it's like, especially for the announcing too. It helps. Yeah, for sure.

So of course flames. That's awesome to hear about the, I've never, I've seen some multiple, some multi-platform dual platform meets and there's a shit show because you can't like, if you have a friend in both flights you it's someone's getting neglected and i was very nervous that that's what

the whole day was going to be of just people not cheering for each other because they're watching the other person on the left not the person on the right so so are you not going to have are you still going to have six like six refs then or that's what i was going to ask how's the judging going we're still gonna have three refs on each platform. So yeah, that was my worry too. I'm like, I don't want one lifter getting all this attention, not the other. We didn't want that.

So it's just going to be back and forth. That'll be cool. Hopefully it will work out really good. So we got the email with all the rules, right? love that xbc is is probably one of the i wouldn't say loosey-goosey but i would say forgiving um lifter friendly actually i would say you're probably one of the more lifter friendly federations i've ever looked into because it looks like I'm allowed to be barefoot. Hell yeah. What about masks? Can I wear a mask? I tried to wear a Santa hat in my

WRPF one and they said you can wear hats too. So my Bray Wyatt fiend mask coming out. We're going to deadlift in the fiend mask. You're like, sure, why is this in your carry-on?

Yeah. Don't worry about it, that's why. So have you and Dave been stocking up on extra combo racks then? Or are we going to, hopefully that Tanner is going to bring a couple? Because you guys are going to have, what, four, five, six stations? we will have i believe six okay yes yep and then we are going to be using um tanner the massonomics one that we used last year

yep yep one and then our your texas one yep our texas is on the other yep that'll be that'll be cool so you actually have six combos for the back right now or is it still gonna get one because i know i saw him pick a couple up recently yep yep we have gotten all of them so yeah i don't think we have to get any more he takes all that and tries to fill me in as as it goes because that all just hangs out in your garage right now, too, right? Yeah, we use actually a bay at my dad's shop. So, yeah, that works out perfect. But we're in the process of getting a trailer, so that will be a lot better. Oh, because we have to keep it loaded in the trailer. Right.

Loading and unloading, that's the pain in the ass. For sure. What kind of bar are we deadlifting on? Texas. Oh, yeah, buddy. i think they got texas across the board so yeah i'm just you know we we saw it in the discord the other day me doing my best sales tactic which is buy a deadlift bar because deadlifts are great and fun and fun and great i love that we influenced brad to buy like he immediately like bought right after he got off of our call and and the very next day he made up because i get i was like dude you post on instagram like once every three months and he had an instagram

post like two days later at a baseball game i was like there you go like that that's how you that's how you social media it's easy but also yes buy deadlift bars i don't care what anybody tells you if you're if you're a regular deadlift if you're a regular deadlifter just buy a deadlift bar they're fun they're yeah and like if you enjoy deadlifts don't take that joy out of you of pulling the slack and pulling the bar you know you can do a straight bar if you like, if you love straight bar, that's fine. But if you have the means to access a specifically made deadlift bar, do it. And I know the discord disagrees with me because a bunch of them disagreed with me. Even when I wasn't being a silly goose, I was still reading some of the things. But like, I'm a person who loves deadlifts of all variations.

I love the Denny stones. I love the Denny stones. I love the deadlift. I, you know, lifting rocks, everything, but just cause that is the most standard movement you can do is lifting things off the ground.

So yeah, anyway, buy a deadlift bar, go to Texas power bar, tell them massonomics sent you live live your life oh man i just had a i completely lost my train of thought i had something that was like in a segue in from the lift hard and i just rated unpaid and underrated uh you can't i'll circle back to it i know i had some more meat stuff to talk about i just can't remember what the fuck it was that's very frustrating uh was it about third attempt music oh i know it would be nice to what if i bring my

own speaker i'll do it myself okay let's set it off to the side yeah i'm ready to ask so you don't have to spoil it i'm out of day he wants to keep stuff secret as he can, but have you guys gotten some metal fabricated for the meet that is going to be unveiled? Nice. Is there anything you want to talk about or something that's going to be a surprise? Because he shared it on the disc.

I don't think I saw a picture of it, but I inferred that it was going to be an XPC in the WCW and sheet metal like diamond plate looking stuff but maybe i'm all oh yeah the xpc metal that i'm hoping will be something which it's still in the process right now so then what what then what what were you mentioned what were you talking about that oh i was going to mention other big news i don't know well we're going to be let's just spoil it okay

we were asked to do the XPC Arnold classic oh yeah yeah yeah let's talk about that he basically kept saying we were asked but he never really saw it I accepted the invitation so is that something you guys are still mulling over or

100% you're doing it we are 100% I think doing it it's just getting everything figured out right now yeah because they do that's your are you guys fucking buying a four a seven thousand dollar monolift and hauling it out there or are you gonna borrow someone's monolift out of columbus because they're they're not gonna let you like no no we'll use a model, yeah. Our plan is to borrow so we'll see how that goes. Wasn't XPC there last year or this year? Yes.

Who ran it? Dan, that is he's the main guy with XPC. He always does it and he's the one that contacted Dave and is like hey do you guys want to run it this year dave's like uh yeah sweet all right so so this year or next year i'll definitely do the three days and i'm just going to be bouncing in between

helping sell massonomic smirch and helping run the xbc booth is that what you're saying like yes i was so everywhere i'm the worst at the arnold i was at every on the XPC booth. Is that what you're saying? Yes. I was so everywhere. I'm the worst at the Arnold. I was at every... You could have found me at every booth at any point. How are you here? Were you just there? We didn't make it last year. I'm sad.

No, that's super amazing. I hope you guys accept. I hope you run it. That sounds incredible. It'll be fun. I'm excited. It'll be the second coolest meet you run that year potentially, assuming we do it.

Assuming we run it back again for 2025 in Aberdeen. That's so true. The Arnold will be the second coolest thing you do. You know what? I won't disagree.

I've been to both now two years in a row. And, you know, we'll see this year if the Lutard Livesey lives up to last year. But, yeah. I think it will. I think it will. There's a reason I'm flying to Aberdeen, South Dakota for a second time. There's a reason I'm flying to Aberdeen, South Dakota for a second time. Because it is the coolest and best and most fun meet.

I didn't even compete last year and still had a ton of fun. That's a far travel for you guys. That sucks. I'm flying. I'm not even dealing with timing. I'm flying. I'm not even dealing with time. I'm flying. And like, so I think my flight leaves like 6.30 a.m.

And then I land in Minnesota an hour and a half later. And then I have to sit for like eight hours. You could have driven like... No, it's a 24 hour drive. No, that's ridiculous. No, no, no. From fucking MSP no it's a 24 hour drive no that's ridiculous no no from fucking msp it's like a six hour drive or something i think yeah i could have driven

to minnesota at that point but like yeah we're flying chris and i are flying in the crew falls and then doing the three-ish hour drive uh because the alternative is like a fucking six hour layover and i was just like i don't know i'm going to save a little i mean i did fly and i bring last year but it's trying to do it a little bit cheaper this year because money's not as it didn't this year i did that it didn't save me any money yeah flying to crew falls saved me 150 dollars which new because now i think for a car i think it was more significant than that or i would have probably done it but maybe I'm not sure we booked those like six months ago so I can't

really remember. I think did Tanner say that Tommy was about that they were finalizing the logo and everything? Is that something you saw a sneak peek of or anything yet, Katie? The medals were already released. Well, no. The actual like what's going to be on the t-shirt.

I haven't. I think Dave did, but I don't think he showed me. Fucking Dave. I know. What the fuck, Dave? There's a lot of shit. I'm like, what? I didn't hear about this.

I just told you it was on the Discord, honey. You didn't see it. Yeah, right? So I imagine, how inundated have you been with our Discord, Greg it is overwhelming even if you're like super into it not ours like the unpaid underweight yeah sorry i try to look at both i'm like going back yeah sorry right now it's like i signed it on my computer right now and it's like popping up constantly oh yeah i have to get it out so i was like oh well but i try to catch up on everything it'll definitely help uh you know uh my only suggestion i guess is just cherry pick a few more episodes of unpaid and underrated before going into you know the weekend so you

have that much more opportunity to just chat with people uh any names you recognize or well i mean literally you have the fucking roster in front of you it's like who's on the roster who's gonna be in aberdeen how is now that's evolved too because there's probably been at least like 15 people drop and then like just get filled there's thoughts like the um the the in the what the fuck is the wait list had like 20 people on it basically i think so there's a shit ton of people like like i have a couple of my friends that got you know uh took my one buddy took my spot immediately like the same oh yeah because you were doing powerlifting now you're a strong man right yep yep so i got to make sure that uh big big big tanner you know i i'm pretty sure i get two shirts this year so that i technically uh i gave dave all the money in the world and then now i gave uh i gave uh big

nate all the money for strong man so i'm i'm thoroughly invested so hopefully i get at least one extra t-shirt but i'm not too concerned about it it was just more of a funny jab i want my t-shirts but yeah like what one of my friends was like oh you're getting your money back right no you think i'm not gonna ask like no hey you wouldn't get it back anyway but also like i'm not a douchebag and i wouldn't ask to get a refund from a powerlifting meet that i chose to not do like i would never fucking do that like i could have broken my leg six months out and i still wouldn't ask for my fucking money back because it's just like it's a hundred like who fucking cares it's a hundred dollars and they're

barely fucking breaking even probably to put the meat on so like no i'm not gonna ask for my money back because people that don't compete like don't understand that like right if you back out of me like just it's like no most like if the meat track like sometimes it lets you put it towards something else but only if it's like a fucking act of god or something that like kept you out of the meet yeah but even we have like forwarded registration to a next meet for people plenty of people that are like oh i couldn't i injured myself or something came up can it go towards the next meeting we're like like, yeah, that works. Good deal.

Oh, so sorry. I guess I meant to say, is the roster, is it full right now? Have they been able to fill up all the dropped out spots with the wait list? Or do you guys, any spots left right now? Well, Dave did say there's a couple more drops. I don't know if he's filled it. He's in charge of

okay there's only three spots left yeah three yeah that's fair three spots left i dig it as long as we uh don't let the any of the sister hosts compete you know we can't have them take going after those submaster records gotta keep those for the actual Discord crew. Now, I'm not saying that Tanner and Tommy run events to give themselves prizes. As heard on this podcast. But we're not saying that they don't. Yeah, not saying that they don't. All right. Heading on two hours.

You want to dip into Unpaid and Underrated? I'd love to. I'll explain the game here if you're not overly familiar with it or if we have any new listeners here following along for Katie's first episode. So Unpaid or Underrated is a very original game we came up with ourselves. So similar to this random game that someone made up a long time ago called Overrated or Underrated, we play Unpaid or Underrated. So Underrated obviously means it's awesome and Unpaid sucks and it's you know no one wants to be unpaid so we're gonna kick it

off here joey and i each go with about three or so we got a big list here so whatever we kind of pick we have a huge list i think this list yeah well like i said i went through your instagram earlier and i think and i was just like adding this adding this adding this but mostly just because I think it'll be a funny response so I might we might go like maybe eight I just a couple of them I think we've already hit on two so unpaid or underrated big Katie let's go

with Taco John's underrated I love I love Taco John's and I'm sad we don't have it anymore oh I think that's right Tommy was talking about the Sioux Falls well you guys aren't Sioux Falls even North Dakota

so yeah Dave he goes to around Fergus Falls when he in Minnesota when he works and they have a taco johns there so he sends me like a picture of his taco johns like oh i got this today that's fucked up wow yeah wow rude dave i know rude right we'll have to get on his

ass about that i guess and i'm assuming it's too far like when he's there he's like hours from home so i can like bring it home somewhere right that'll be a cold cold burrito man worth it maybe worth it depends if it's how long is in the danger zone because like i don't think this day of the one is dave gonna be like thorough enough to be like let's get it on ice and get it out of that you know bacteria growing zone of temperature uh you know so it's just gonna sit there and i'm in a bag on the passenger seat like for four hours i wouldn't eat that fucking thing right i'd eat it before i got to you if i was driving i'd be like you know that's not gonna last anyway she won't want it let's go with number two here unpaid or underrated smoking unpaid I so no

now where do you put like do you put vaping in the same category because I have a girl that works with us that vapes nonstop and I actually I would I would almost rather you go outside and have a dart and leave me alone for a minute rather than vape in

front of me oh yeah it's just vaping I can do it indoors. It's fine. No, you can't. It's also awful. It's just as illegal. It's the same, at least in New York State. It's the same. People don't care. I literally watch people vaping in everywhere.

Yeah, same. What about cigars? There are some cigars that actually smell good. So, but... I'm a cigar smoker. Yeah. A cigarette smoke is just... Oh, no.

Like, I can't... It's like I lose my breath when I smell it. I'm just like... Right. So, my last one for unpaid or underrated is gonna be strong hands underrated why is that i don't know i okay it's a weird thing like people are you know they're like oh i like this on somebody i like strong hands like calloused i I guess you could say. I don't know. On Dave specifically?

Yes. I love his hands. Yeah. I found out my aunt was the same way. She's like, oh, I like strong hands too. And I'm like, oh, okay, so that is a thing. That is a thing. Do you judge people negatively if they have a very weak weak handshake no yes you

do no i don't i've others yeah i've definitely had i used to work with this kid that had like i don't know if he was just had a really weak handshake or if he had some like like nerve like something like he it literally was like it was like a wet flip flop. I don't know. A wet flip flop? Did you say? It was a bad thing. It was like a dead hand. He stuck a dead hand.

But I also judge the other way around. If I go to shake a guy's hand and he's trying to big me, I'm just like, that's weird. I'm a big, yeah, okay. Yeah.

I'm a big, strong dude. But I can throw you like relax like it's a handshake. You don't have to overpower me. You can do one more. Actually, if you want to do any of those top ones, I'm probably going to go three or four. I don't know. All right. I'm on it. I'm on it. I'm on it. I'm on it. I'm on it.

I can't even pronounce that word. Actually, I'm going to do that one then. How about it? So unpaid or underrated Tahitian treat. Oh, gosh. Unrated. I loved Tahitian treat. Is it the Mandela effect?

Is Tahiti treat different than Tahitian treat? I don't know. Right. Right. Right. Because I remember it being Tahiti treat as a kid. And then I tried Tahitian treat and was like, this isn't the same thing. Yeah.

What are you guys talking about? I've never heard of these words in my life. I'm so confused. It's like a carbonated fruit punch. Pretty much what it is. He's an up north type dude. He lives

northwest. He doesn't really know things. Sometimes we can't even find it. It's so funny because at night we'll be like oh i'm craving a tahitian treat and can't find it anywhere and then all of a sudden we go to the grocery store and there it is i don't know yep it's a hit or miss all right so yeah anybody wants it out there tahiti or tahitian treat are they the same thing or are we insane? Now I'm going to have to Google and research this. Are we Fox Mulder right now and completely unaware that we have been Mandela affected? All right.

Next one. Unpaid or underrated? Hoochie Daddy shorts. Underrated. Hell yeah. Love them. What's the perfect inseam? What's the perfect inseam for hoochie daddy shorts five or shorter i don't know the five five is maximum anything over five inch inseam is

right they're pants you might as well wear pants bud basketball shorts yes if your knees are showing you ain't wearing shorts. So Dave must wear... Oh, he has a whole collection of them. Every print, every color, yeah. My man. His gym attire is better than mine by far, which is sad, but hey. All right. Unpaid or underrated?

Baby birds. Underrated really baby birds well you had some outside the house i they were it was a kind of a pain because they were on our hose we couldn't use our hose yeah but they're also cute as shit so that's the battle i know grow up and leave yes i was like hurry up leave the nest fly away yeah and they did finally so were they robins yeah they're robins yeah american robins yeah for some reason the the mom would fly away when i would go but as soon as my son would walk past him, she'd stay on their nest. Like, I don't know. She liked my son.

She didn't like me. Oh, yeah. She died. Did she ever die? A couple of times. Yes. Yeah. Yeah.

That's yeah. She didn't like you at all. But for some reason, he's not a risk. You were the risk. I was the risk. My son walked right past and she's like, OK, whatever. Was he wearing shorts? Maybe.

Maybe. Maybe. Damn, Robin, watch your face. All right. Last one for all the marbles. Husbands doing wrestling impressions. Oh, gosh. Underrated.

I love it. It's so funny oh gosh so dave has told me he has a couple what's your favorite i love his macho man impression there's no way you love his macho man oh i do every husband has a macho man impression and a Bo-Rod impression, and we're all terrible at them. Oh, my God. It's so funny. Oh, my gosh. Hey, put that on TikTok even. I think. I know.

That's actually, I was messaging him going like. Oh, really? I was like, I'm seeing wrestling references on Katie's Instagram. And is she into wrestling? And he was just like not really but and then we got some he was like ask her about when i do my impressions because you know obviously husband's doing much of my impressions are a thing we do all of us do it and if you don't do it try it see how your wife reacts i love it i think he should go into wrestling so

i don't think his i think his 40 year old body might disagree a couple bumps secretly wants to but oh yeah we talked about i think when he was on here is yeah it's the biggest regret i ever had was not getting into wrestling but he says he took you to actually after the, was it the queen of the North or the king of the North? King of the North. They had it afterwards. Yeah.

So I did, that was my first one and I, it was really fun. I enjoyed it. Yeah. They did a local wrestling meet in the same venue after the meet. Yeah. So they just like,

they cleared out and then built the ring or the ring was already there and then yeah kid you got to see her first wrestling uh they do a good job yeah it's a lot of fun yeah definitely got the crowd very involved that'd be a pretty big venue then um what did you guys think of the od and uh is that like one of the bigger places or is that kind of like what you usually uh get yeah that's what you usually do it yep and it was in that was the first time we were in that because there's two different sections different areas and we were in the other side the previous year and then this year we were on this side or the i guess other side it was yeah it was nice you guys

looking forward to a july at the od ice rank in aberdeen where it's going to be anywhere from 47 degrees to 1069 degrees oh gosh oh yeah god i'm mixing it up with dickinson's because you're talking they're both at ice the the arenas so yeah no that will be well the fans help yeah I'm no they didn't I thought they did a little bit oh my god I'm optimistic that I'm on my wish list for like about a year now pretty much immediately after the meet I've had one of those little over the neck oh I want to get one of those so if I don't get one next weekend I'm gonna be my it's gonna be my first purchase after my birthday present opening I was like nope I want to get one of those. So if I don't get one next weekend, it's going to be my first purchase after my birthday present opening. Nope, I didn't get the fan. I got to order it because I'm

fucking going to Aberdeen in like six weeks. Mike Van Wick talks about those all the time. The big, the neck fat fans. Yeah, absolutely. And, you know, I'll put it out here now. If you're listening to this and you're in Aberdeen, South Dakota, and you deal in ice cream or slushies

or margaritas or really cold drinks, show up to the Odie Arena and watch yourself make a ton of money. Absolutely. It's hot. It's hot. Are you guys coming in Thursday

or Wednesday or Thursday? I believe Thursday. Nice. Get started, set up, and come out to Pounders and have a little libations. Mm-hmm. Nice. I'm looking forward to that. All right. Well, yeah.

Go ahead, Keith. I think she passed, and this is where we turn it over to you. Do you have anything for Joey and I or the podcast host here? What do you got for us? Let me see. You just pull out a notebook. I dig it. I love it. Okay.

I like weird questions, so sorry. Don't apologize here. It's your episode, homie. You can take it wherever you want. Do either of you have a reoccurring nightmare dream like you have all the time? Yep. Yep.

Joey's like, yep. Yep. It's often my teeth falling out or I'm in the back of a car and I can't get to the front of the car. Really? Yeah. Yeah. Those apparently mean something to people that believe in that shit but those are the recurring ones it's it's often teeth falling out and you're just like pulling teeth out of

your mouth all the time um they both mean that you don't feel in control of your life i didn't know that hmm yeah i got this easy answer sorry yep yeah i got two that have probably like been plaguing me for the last 20 years. I feel like I'm working and I, you know, I worked at Applebee's and I ever did a lot of food service in my early twenties, late night,

late teens. So just being on a kitchen line with the fucking, you know, orders coming in nonstop and being like the only person there is trying to keep up, just going to ape shit, like trying to push out orders and being the only person there. So that one's pretty regular, just a regular, I mean like once a year or so you know it's happened many a

time and then uh another one would be uh like senior year in high school and like failing a class and not being able to graduate like that's like a random weird fucking thing because i almost did like fail a class and not graduate so i think it's more reliving that, but actually instead of passing my final, I failed my final and, like, didn't get to graduate on time, and, like, it was just, like, you were the dipshit super senior, like, fuck that. Super senior. Do you ever do that one where, like,

you're in high school, and you're, like, struggling for a class, and then your brain suddenly goes, fuck, I'm 40. Why am I here? But, like, you can't leave with my locker okay that's a fucking locker drain i can't remember my combination i i every once in a while i get that one where i'm just like in my high school or middle school or even my kids school and i'm just like walking around being like i can't find the class i'm supposed to be in. And I can't fail this because like, if I fail,

I'm not going to, and then suddenly my brain will go, you have a degree from university. Why do you care about this? And you're like, cause it's important. And you're like, why am I here?

Exactly. Final thing on dreams though. Like I think I mentioned before is I still legitimately, I haven't done tobacco in almost 20 years yeah damn near 20 years and i still get a dream at least once a year uh that i had that i put a dip in and like had chewing tobacco in my mouth and i have to wake up the next day going like fuck that didn't do anything wrong did i it's lessened a lot the last few years but yeah i'm like it was like up until maybe 15 15 years post it was still like very regular maybe the last five years it's been a lot less regular but it's still like a

thing and it's just weird that it has that fucking like control on your mind and i literally haven't had nicotine in my system in 20 fucking years one's an addict always an addict and i know i'm such an addictive personality like if i started smoking weed again i'd fucking smoke weed for the rest of my life if i put tobacco in my lip for weed again, I'd fucking smoke weed for the rest of my life. If I put tobacco in my lip for one fucking second, I'd fucking do it till the day I die. I had a Zen on the way home today and I was just like, I can't do that shit.

I don't, don't, I can't, I can't do gateway. Like, cause I mean, that would be a gateway to like, absolutely would like ruining my fucking oral health.

No, I had a, I had a Zen on the way home today. I was just like, this is like, this is almost cocaine. Like, it's so body rush. Like, your mind is so attentive and happy for a second.

And you're like, this is the greatest thing. And then my real brain kicks in and goes, get that out of your mouth, you psycho. And I'm like, yeah, this is not good. But that's what it like yeah that's how they that's how they get you we call it anyway yeah that was a spiral of a question what's next though what's something keeps talking i have i have tornado dreams so so that was like you get sucked up into one or that you're just like terrified that one's gonna get you yeah like one i can see it it's coming towards me and and it's for some reason i'm always

at fucking work i don't know why and i think it's because i don't have a basement up there or somewhere to hide so yeah no i'd have tornado dreams but i also have the school locker dream all the time you have you actually have tornadoes out there though right like i don't know yeah we like surrounding we've had them but not in fargo since i think the last one that hit actually in fargo was in like 1956 so it was a long time ago but yeah no i don't know my i think my mom like seared in my mom because every time there was like a tornado more and she's like get down in the basement so I was like

always afraid yeah the shit your parents tell you is like just literally sticks with you 40 years later and you're like oh yeah I remember that thanks for that never be able to outlive that oh man

you got a couple more for us? we should be good on time Thanks for that. Never be able to outlive that. Oh, man. Yeah. You got a couple more for us? Yeah. We should be good on time. Okay. What is a horror movie or a scary movie you refuse to watch? I don't know if you're fans of any horror movies or.

I don't. Yeah, I'm a huge horror movie fan you love them yo absolutely I have a certain rule and if the horror movie is based off rape I won't watch it if the entire structure around it is that particular act

I'm not watching that movie and if I'm watching the movie and I sense that's what's coming I'll turn it off and not finish it yeah so so so i spit on your grave is definitely not in your top 10 huh i've seen both actually no actually i didn't watch the remake i watched the original with a friend of mine who um wouldn't stop making jokes and i finally snapped and i turned to him and i was like you're not making this better. You're a bad person.

I will not watch that movie again. I won't watch the remake. There are just certain movies. Nope. There's, I think, not The Last House on the Is it The Last House on the Left? That's based on that too. Jodie Foster is like having, yeah. If I find out that that's what the movie is based around,

it's just not it's just not horror at that point it's just uh what do you it's a it's exploitation so i just don't i will not watch movies that are based on that uh and i'm i'm sure i could name a bunch of them and sometimes the threat of it like the walking dead had the threat of that all the time but never did it that was the one thing the walking dead did really really well the threat was always there but it was never the thing um vikings went into it a little heavy skip that season like i don't it's just that that's the one thing where I'm just like that's not scary that's real and I want nothing to do with it so that's me personally um

anything to deal with like I mean most animal deaths I'm not cool with but like cat specific so the movie smile that came out last year that was a fucking I'm still okay disgusted at the scene and i can't i love that movie though i fucking wanted i wanted to kill my brother's been trying to get me to watch that and i still have not watched it yet if you're gonna fucking watch it

oh good though so no he's telling me okay so like it's overall it's a it's a very scary movie i would have i would have given the movie like a six and a half out of ten if it wasn't for that fucking that one specific pet scene yep that they kind of telegraphed and i caught it right before it was going to happen and i was able to kind of like not see it but still saw it and i was fucking almost almost puked it was so fucking like not something i could handle uh but yeah i'll never watch that movie again. Yeah, I don't like torture movies. Me neither. Yeah, I guess as a kid, when I was coming up, Hostel was really big. I will not watch that.

Yeah, so. And you know, as a young teenager, you're just like, oh, gee, I can handle this. But then you kind of like grow up and you go, that's fucked. Why did i watch that like i don't i don't want to see that that's not scary that the original strangers i also uh they just did the remake of it where like the kids are at like their cottage and these people surround them and torture them and it's just them trying to get out of it and the dummy like can't shoot a gun and it's just so like you're stupid you have a shotgun and somehow three unarmed people overtake you because you just are afraid to hurt them

like it's so stupid but it's torture based i'm just not in i'm just not in same with you on that one katie i'm not in yep. Same with like the Saw movies. I watched the first one and I won't watch any more of them. I enjoyed the, I enjoyed the first one because it was different. The first one's the only one. Yeah. Yeah. But then you start watching the second one and you're just like, yeah. Okay. People getting hurt. Great. Right. This isn't cool. Yeah. And as a horror movie fan, I just don't call those horror.

I just call those grotesque, like these Terrifier movies that everybody's so thrilled about, where it's a clown literally like tearing people muscle by muscle. I've never seen those either. I like horror movies too. So yeah. sound and like showed some gore it's not scary it's just gross and it's not like taking you out of your life it's literally just bothering you right that's why i like the supernatural movies i like the alien movies yeah i i think that rosemary's baby is one of the greatest horror movies of all time and they don't show a single thing right same with the alien movies the alien and aliens the the original ridley scott was six minutes scene at the end kind of yeah and it's just like it's disturbing and it's claustrophobic and it's neurotic and it's things that just take you out of your normal life and scare you the thing should be one

of the greatest of all time if you're talking about that sense absolutely but then you're just like well what about this one where they chop up a guy on screen like ew what the fuck dude nope nope I'm the same same yeah actually same

mm-hmm oh let's see I had I'm the same. Same. Yeah, actually same. Let's see. I had a list of them. Do you want me to throw you some more? Yeah. Another 10 minutes. I was literally going to say 10 minutes. And I'm out.

I might have to pee at some point. I don't know. Maybe there's a plastic bag laying around. I can sort it out. Oh. I don't know. Maybe there's a plastic bag laying around. I can sort it out. Oh. Oh. I guess the weird question, like, okay, when you're talking to somebody, what facial feature do you focus on? I guess that's a weird question, but I always struggle with, like, keeping eye contact with people. And then I, a lot of times, will wash someone's mouth.

Their mouth. Do the same thing? Yep. Okay. Yep. I might have to use that that trick I hate looking at people in the face like I maybe like look at it as a sign of disrespect but I'll look at your fucking I'll look over your head or do you like I just look past you uh it's just I don't like I said I said my wife I look my wife correctly in the eyes other than that like I just I have a hard time looking people in the face sometimes i don't know it's weird but don't love it don't go out of my way to like stare at people's eyes right no yeah definitely the mouth definitely the mouth when i'm with customers or just anybody and it's because when you're looking at their mouth as much as i just... You hate mouths.

Yeah. The reason I don't like humans is humans come with smells and secretions and sound effects. I like that. I like that. Yeah. Katie's pulling some weird shit out of Joey tonight. I like generally what I don't like about people is how they smell how they sound

and just like body fluids body fluids are the worst thing in the world for me I can't handle them but I will focus on somebody's mouth because I can watch the words that they're saying and I can read their emotions their eyes are going to lie to you every time the nose is gross it's full of hair and people don't pay attention saying and I can read their emotions. Their eyes are going to lie to you every time.

The nose is gross. It's full of hair and people don't pay attention to that. The mouth is probably the, the mouth is probably the grossest part, but it's the part that gives me the most information. So yeah, definitely, definitely the mouth. Yeah.

I'm the same. I tend to hear people's words all like scramble together so if i read their mouth it's like captions for me yeah i'm a i'm a caption person with tv i don't know i guess so with audio or like and with audio yeah my kids hate it interesting like i know i remember i had a t like i don't know i guess you can do with, like, I would, if I had to watch it on mute, like, because it was, like, fucking 2 o'clock in the morning and I'm still trying to watch TV or something, like, if you put, you can, like, read the captions while it's still on, you know, mute. But, yeah, I feel like when it's captions and audio, I can't read fast enough to still enjoy the actual, acting and the scenery like i i'm a slow processor of words i guess i don't know how i do it i'm like back and forth in it it doesn't bother me i have no idea why i've tried to turn them off and i'm like dave turn it back on i'm

struggling also so you force so does it does does dave read the caption or does he ignore him yeah i think he ignores him okay that's that's interesting yeah oh man well you got you got a couple more at least at least one more we lost our co-host for a second so i can i'll try to fill the void um yeah well mine was another like yes it's another kind of darker one would you rather be it's all good do you rather be buried or cremated 100 cremated i will never if i'm fucking buried i don't believe in an afterlife but if there was when i come back and fucking haunt you no matter what if someone buried me they'll tell that to dave please the concept of being buried in a fucking box and just rotting away in there and then possibly never being able to fully disintegrate.

Because if you buy some expensive ass coffin, you're just going to have a rotting corpse in this coffin for hundreds of years. That's fucking disturbing. It's shit to me. I want to be completely gone from this earth in like seconds. Yeah, no. A hundred and twenty percent believe exact same thing. And Dave is like, I want you buried with me in the coffin and i'm like if you do i will haunt your dead ass i don't you know i will no i think i want to be cremated

for like well pretty much my entire adult life i don't remember it i don't remember when maybe it was probably like a really and i mean i've only gone to a few funerals that have actually meant something to me so maybe it was like my grandma's funeral. I don't know. Maybe even before that. But I don't remember a time where I didn't want to be cremated. Like I don't ever remember a time where I was like mentally okay with being buried like in a box and like being embalmed and having my corpse go through that. Like I don't want that.

I want to be cremated and just. Now my wife knows that too. But then she's kind of like, well, what are you going to do with your ashes? I'm like, I don't know that i care like i guess if you bury them like don't do it in an urn do it to where they can like literally get out and like be absorbed and be part of the earth and not me anymore sooner yeah i'm the same what do you want to get buried. What do you want your kid to do with your ashes? Keep them.

I don't know. Just don't put me in a closet somewhere. So I still have, this is actually sad, but I still have my cats. I still have Gus's ashes downstairs. We don't know what to do with them yet. We don't know if we want to bury his ashes or spread his ashes right now. We got this nice box that they did come in and I kind of, we had to pack all his toys up like a year and a half ago when he passed

away. And I'm like, haven't opened the box since. And well, I actually have it to get some specific toys out for the new girls, but like, I don't know what to do with someone ashes. Like,

like, I don't know what you do with ashes. Like, I guess keep them, but then it's like, but if you, but is that, is that the,

almost the same thing though? Because if you but is that is that almost the same thing though because you didn't want to be in a casket because you didn't want to like have your body in your essence trapped in something now your essence is in ashes and it's still trapped in something so i don't right i wouldn't want to be i wouldn't want to be encapsulated in something i want my ashes to completely disintegrate and then like become a flower and shit right go in with the earth yep i might have missed that question i had a kid screaming i had to run out remade it or buried god fuck i don't care i'll be dead you don't care i care i care whatever is the most convenient for the people that have to deal with it. I'm not...

Literally, that's going to be in the will. Whatever is the most convenient way to deal with me. If it is cremate me and put me in a hole, do it up. If it is donate me to science, do it up. I don't care. I'll be dead. My mom is so funny because

both my parents want to be cremated, but my mom is like, you gotta take me to every family event with you. So I'm going to be like, oh, OK. Yeah, I'm just going to be carrying around this box. And yeah, like I don't. You know, if that's a thing you believe that you're going to somehow be in this afterlife watching, the ashes aren't you anymore. Your soul is up there and watching and if you don't believe that then nothing is you and it doesn't matter right like there's to me there's no in between so

i don't donate my body to science they can see what this liver looks like after years of so my mom my mom's already told me she wants to be cremated and she's even like i think she has i'm not sure if she's written out but i know she's like told each of her kids like where they want she wants like each of her kids to like spread some of her ashes in like certain places and stuff so like i know that i walk-ins glen is a is a really big famous uh like hiking trail waterfall like thing you know like an hour a couple hours for me that we actually did together, like, you know, years ago. And she was like, yeah, you just, you know, she said it was one of those beautiful places in the world to her. She wants to have some of her ashes spread there. So like, you know, God, for hopefully 10 years

from now or more, you know, uh, I have to go do that, but that's, you know, that's going to do what your mom asked you to do. So kind of is what it is. what it is yeah my my my relationship with death is not um what some people would would approach it as i think it's very healthy because i'm just like it's gonna happen fucking get ready whereas other people are like no it's never gonna happen i'm i'm never gonna think about it or talk about it and yeah i'm just it's gonna happen so i'm just i'm gonna do what i need to do now to make sure that when it happens it's gonna happen so i'm just i'm gonna do what i need to do now to make sure that when it happens it's gonna be fine morgan's like i don't want to think about it at all and i was like no we need to have a will and

she's like no that bothers me to think about and i was like yeah but like you can't avoid it bother a lot more if you you know have a you're always talking about all these near miss car crashes and shit so it's like yeah like have that shit figured out exactly i still need to figure you we need to write a will we've talked about it a hundred times we know same we don't we know what i want to say we just haven't like spent the money to make it a thing i've got the life insurance i've got the will will kit. We just haven't done it. I'm ready. I can go tomorrow and be like, yeah, I've got most of my shit figured out,

but not everybody's like us. I do have a spreadsheet with my top... My Mount Rushmore of Joey replacements for the podcast. If he passes on time. I really don't. It's Siri.

I can tell you who's on the list of not to be replacements, at least. Alright, maybe one more and we'll wrap this up. These are really fun. Anything on the... Anything on the less depressing side? Yeah, something fun?

Yes, there we go. Oh my goodness. Pull something funny out of the ether for us. I guess we already talked about embarrassing pee stories, right? Do you have any embarrassing poop stories have you shared those not on this podcast do i i don't know do i i just i suffered from like just horrible cramps and just stomach issues like a lot of my adolescent even i've been up until a few years

ago like i would like horrendous constant like i can just constipation for a week and then just six hours of like puking and shitting on the weekend or hopefully the weekend is one miss more so that that hitting when you're like at somewhere is like just the worst thing ever i remember being at like a school dance or something and just having like just like kneeled over just like horrible we're gonna pass out stomach issues and the actually it wasn't it wasn't even like a school dance it was like a it was a weird they called them duggar dance i don't know if that was just a regional thing or what but it was like a you know basically geared towards like 12 to like 15 year olds to do like a

you know a mildly supervised like dance party thing and just some like random hall and remember that like shithole place it was like some like american legion or something and the fucking men's bathroom door didn't actually latch so i'm in there as like a 12 year old having like basically borderline like pass out shits and the fucking door wouldn't latch and then like some like bully was opening the door like laughing at me and shit and i'm just like oh cool this is this is something i'll remember for the rest of my life and 25 years later here i'm talking about it in great detail yeah i mean it wasn't funny i guess yeah no we need a funny one i know i'm like keith this turned out sad come on no i know i don't know i've pooped outside a bunch

with construction jobs of like working in the middle of nowhere and having nowhere to go they were too cheap to fucking have a porta potty oh that's to go lean up against a tree and like gosh i do remember it was it was in the winter too so i had a like if you've never i've never seen my own steaming pile of shit until i've shit in a like a six inches of snow and i had a steaming pile of shit underneath me and that was interesting. That was a thing. It was a literal steaming pile.

Oh my gosh. No, I've got nothing in that realm. That's good. Good for you. I tend to Paul Floss it a lot where it's like feature finishes but nothing really funny.

One time, I think I went back to work earlier than I should have. And I was on the bus and I coughed and then had to pick up the phone and say, I am not coming in. Turn around. Yep. Yeah.

I was like, I'm getting on the bus going back home and I'm going home and i am not coming in now what kind of hat was that on though don't shirt on it don't fuck our hats a little hark in the last week i thought i was listening to that too i think don't fuck our hats was a really funny joke i don't care it did not get enough recognition that was a really funny joke. I don't care. It did not get enough recognition. That was a really funny segue. And then I'll shirt on any hype. Don't give me. Don't tell me it was a good time.

Oh, I did go. Because earlier I was talking about how I did listen to our episode on like 1.75 or something. Because I think when someone said I said, oh, Jen said she laughed when Keith said hella funny again or something. Or I couldn't pronounce it. And I was like, what the fuck is she talking about? I remember kind of what she was talking about. I couldn't remember what that word and reference was. And it ended up being like a town in Iowa or something.

But I literally had to listen to an hour of the episode to get the reference. Because it was just sticking with me. It was stuck in my craw of like, man, what the fuck is she talking about? Because usually I remembered the majority of the episode. But crawl of like, man, what the fuck is she talking about? Because usually I remembered the majority of the episode, but I'm completely zoned out. I was like, oh, okay. I 100% remember that. You guys ready to bring us in for a landing?

Yeah, I'm ready. You guys ready? Yeah, I think I've rambled enough about embarrassing Keith stories for one episode. Hopefully there are no memes. This was a really good, like embarrassing story. We're going to get.

Oh, Jeff. More. Do you want another one? No, I'm kidding. I can't wait for Jeff. Oh,

shout out to Jake, Jeff, Jeff, you've been fucking killing it with those memes and like, keep it up. I feel like you're putting more effort into it because I am giving you like put, putting you on a pedestal with it. So I'll like you're putting more effort into it because I am giving you like put, putting you on a pedestal with it.

So I'll just continue that because that, that, uh, bit that you did yesterday with the, the comic real thing. Oh God. Yeah. That was pretty funny.

Yeah. That was pretty funny. I have to, I have to, I have to, I have to, I have to, I have to,
