(00:09):
Okay, welcome. This is notan ad, but I want to shout
out a particular product and if theywant to sponsor us, I'm all about
it. And that product is dudebombs. If you've heard of dude wipes,
which are you know, moistened toiletsfor your butt. Many people,
yeah, many people are about them. Most you know, sewage waste systems

(00:35):
are not about them, which iswhy we do not provide them here.
However, Yeah, why is that? Why can't they just make a toilet
paper wet like obviously I know thetoilet paper we use, but it's got
to have like some cloth in itor something to make it fall apart.
I don't know. There's gotta bea way that. That is one of

(00:55):
my least favorite things in the wholeworld, is when your finger goes to
the toilet paper. That's I mean, but supposedly we went to the goddamn
moon. We can't make a wet, fibrous thing that is also being able
to be flushed. Yeah, that'sa good question. That's trash. Yeah.
I don't know why they don't.I don't know why they don't break
down faster. I don't know whatkeeps them from breaking down because you just

(01:19):
see these like terrible videos online ofyeah, yeah, of toilets and sewage
systems just backed up or just likea river of you know, baby diapers,
and same with the even regular tissueis like more fibrous than toilet paper
sometimes and they say not throwing downthere. I was wiping my ass the
other day and had a thought,Yeah, I wipe my ass almost every

(01:42):
day sularly, Yeah, almost everyday. I wipe my ask, to
be honest, And I was thinkingabout one hundred years ago, maybe a
little bit more. I don't knowthe exact timeline of you know, like
obviously the romans at aqueducts and somewater flow and the residence, but like
we were probably so gross just aboutone hundred years ago, even compared to

(02:06):
what we are now, pretty stinky, not bathing very often, just like
all of it, like like birthingrate was trash because within one hundred and
fifty years, we didn't even knowwhat like bacteria was. Yeah, right,
so you'd go wipe your ass oryou'd like I did, be doing
surgery on Subus's ear and then I'mgonna go have a baby and my hands

(02:27):
in a lady's kouchi with poop andsubas's ear. Of course we're all gonna
die. Yeah, there was athat was a big thing. There was
a lot of post partum infection thatwas caused by by that thing, and
and infections with babies, and andit was like it was really big in

(02:47):
you know, war trauma hospitals.Hell, yeah, you're on the fucking
field. It's even harder. Buteven before we knew, you know,
they're invisible, the invisible out ofme. Yeah, so we're in twenty
four. So in nineteen twenty four, I mean, indoor plumbing was more
of a thing. For sure.There's something in no way it's like nice.

(03:09):
Yeah, I mean my dad wasborn in the late thirties and he
grew up, you know, notentirely on a farm, but like his
youngest years were on a farm,and they had out houses, right and
even that, Yeah, it seemslike, yeah, it's immortal potty and
they didn't have toilet paper for themost part. They had serious catalog Yeah,

(03:32):
see that's what I'm saying. Andhe did say corn cops, but
that just sounds terrible now. I'veheard of that many times. I think
that was an ancient Yeah, that'seither really true or big myth. Yeah,
no, it's true. No,it's true. I think it's like
straight up in museums and books andshit, that was the coca remover.

(03:53):
I think you just kept your cornbro you could see how that would work.
I don't know. That's like whichdirection you're eating a hot dog?
Which how you you're putting that?You cleaning vertically? Are you cleaning it
like a fucking trumpet? No?No, no, I believe you just
follow the natural course. That's whatI'm saying. There's two natural courses my
point. There's a crack course andthere's a whole course. Oh yeah,

(04:15):
I don't the whole course. Thewhole course. I don't think you're looking
for a cornhole in. Yeah,and I'm talking to ho Elie now,
w h O. Yeah, there'sa lot of there's a lot of that's
the real clean though, right,because you got some rivets on the side.
That's literally how you'd clean trumpets.You'd have like the wire kind of
like you clean a toilet. Yeah, and that's I mean, if you

(04:35):
look at like those snakes that cleana toilet, the tip of it's kind
of it's kind of bulby yea,yeah, it's kind of corn husky or
not husk, but corn cobby.Yeah, it's weird. No, I'm
pretty fucking sure that's true. Ithink it was a very uh native normal
thing. Uh yeah, one hundredyears ago. Yeah, no, fucking
toilet paper like that's crazy. Likemaybe if you lived in Manhattan, you

(04:57):
know, or Chicago, Boston,like that's the only three hundred years.
Yeah, And I think most ofthe people who are living in those,
you know, tenements and stuff,they were like communal bathrooms as opposed to
yeah, you know each and alot of the places in New York still
have those. Yeah, that's aweird concept to me. I didn't do
dorm life in college. And thenthere is hotels like I've been on a
hostile yeah, which is not verynormal in America. No, but I

(05:23):
went to a weird small school.So you do what you do, you
know, if we're not camping.We did hostels at like like the Shakespeare
Festival and stuff like that, andyou get some characters for sure. But
then I did a hotel hostile crossoverin La Once and it looked like it
was an old dorm and yeah,it was like communal bathrooms, which is

(05:43):
like one I don't like. Ilike the home field advantage, I like
privacy, but then two like justeven like on logistics, say, I'm
over my whether you want to callit a fear of uncomfortability with it.
You got to pee in the middleof the night, I gotta like totally
leave my room. Yeah, andthat sounds like maybe a little stumble down
the hall. Yeah, much moreawake than you want to. Yeah,
it sounds like spoiled. But yeah, I have like a primary master bedroom,

(06:08):
so my bathroom's very fucking close.Yeah. Yeah, I stumble in
their literally eyes closed, pretending I'masleep by pee, and I go back
to bed to walk down a hall, Yeah, what do you do?
Shoes? No shoes, and whatif you have to wait? What if
somebody else? Oh yeah, you'refucked if you have to shit till you're
done. Yeah, yeah I'm up. If I had to ship at two
am, I'm probably up walking downthe hall. Probably got to put on
shoes and clothes. Yeah, yeah, it sucks. And then imagine doing

(06:31):
that one hundred years ago. Yougot to walk down a hall, put
on your moccasins and rub horn.Yeah, rub your ass, Rub your
ass with a corn cob, it'sfucking crazy. Or a serious catalog.
Yeah, one hundred years. Yeah, I've probably I've probably had a desperation
wiped with something like a serious catalog, you know, like toilet paper's not

(06:53):
there. Yeah, yeah, that'sgross. Yeah, there's probably been some
situations where yeah, you're straight hoppingin the shower or grabbing, grabbing a
magazine. That used to be verycommon, right, the magazine in the
bathroom. Yeah, but that's notyou know, magazines aren't even a thing
no more. Yeah, like awaiting room. Waiting room was full of
fucking books and magazines, but noweveryone's got a phone, there's probably no

(07:15):
need. Or they had a couplein there. Yeah, I don't even
know. The less waiting room I'vebeen in. What I thought about it?
That was my chiropractor, just becauseI would go there like two three
times a week. This is interesting. I did not realize that it wasn't
not until eighteen fifty seven that thetoilet paper became available at all, That's
what I'm saying. And that's probablyjust the rich folks or the imagine like

(07:36):
the when a new product like thatcomes out imagine if a new product right
now comes out right and they're like, yeah, man, put this on
your butt. Yeah, that's notgoing to be highly like, that's not
going to be like commonly adapted oradopted. No, and I can in
America, we can't even get behindyou know, the days everywhere. Yeah,
that's kind of weird too, thatthe rest of the world like embraced

(07:57):
them. Yeah, like eighty percentof the entire planet does it, but
we don't, like even Argentina,is it. That was the first bedet
I ever saw. I was likewhatever, sixth grade in Argentina, and
I was like, oh damn,that's crazy, and that's probably yeah late
nineties, but yeah, Japan everyonedoes that, and here we are just
fucking scratching our asses with white paper. Yeah, white paper. Yeah,
it might as well be corner ofthe cop It kind of feels like it

(08:18):
sometimes. Yeah, I mean I'vejust shot out us. I mean,
we don't buy the cheapest toilet paperfor the gym. No, but that's
it's a bad experience. Yeah,it's a good investment. Yeah, I
agree on the quality of life,Yeah for sure. Yeah. Eighteen fifty
seven, marketed as medicated paper forthe water closet sold in packages of five

(08:41):
hundred sheets for fifty cents. Iwonder if they had that. Seems expensive.
Fifty cents was a lot of moneyin eighteen fifty seven. That seems
hot, really fucking expensive. Yeah, as a kid, I'm buying Hamburgers
for twenty five cents, and that'sin the nineties. Yeah, exactly.
God damn, that's like wiping yourEyeah. That's like a diamond fucking corn

(09:03):
cob to shove up your ass.Yeah, that's crazy. Fifty cents.
No one's buying that. Who thehell's got that kind of money in nine
eighteen fifty I don't know. Andwhere do you even get it? Rich
people even that right, because weain't got cars. No, you're taking
the buggy down to your local misterWalmart, the first one ever. That's

(09:28):
crazy. Well, this is interestingtoo that in the fourteenth century, the
Chinese were manufacturing toilet paper at arate of ten million packages of one thousand
to ten thousand sheets annually, andin thirteen ninety three, thousands of perfume
paper sheets were produced for the hungWu Emperor's Imperial family so China, because

(09:52):
that's where paper came from paper camefrom China. They probably invented it,
right, Yeah, yeah, theyfigured out how to make paper, they
weren't using it for toilet purposes.They invented paper in the second century BC,
and it was till the fourteenth centurythat they were manufacturing toilet paper routinely

(10:16):
on at scale, And then ittook a whole lot longer for us just
to start using it. We're justapparently like, yeah, the corn,
we like corn for everything. Ruggedindividualists, even in the way we treat
our assholes. Yeah, that iswild. Yeah, So back to dude
bombs. Do bombs. Uh,it's like if you're if you're familiar with

(10:37):
poo perri one thing you're supposed tospray before you sit down to take it.
It never took off. I've seenit, Yeah, and it was
never like commonly even semi commonly adoptedeither. It smelled funky to me.
Yeah, and the process is alittle weird. Like I think there's those
tabs you put in a toilet thatcleans. Yeah, I assume those have

(10:58):
a smell, Like, why isn'tthat just a thing? Well that essentially
that's what the dude bombs is.It's like even that like why is it
like built in Well, that's agood question. I don't know. I
mean, like if you use aservice, you might have one of those
things where it just dribbles the blueliquid all the time. But I don't
think I think that's more for cleaning. I don't think I've ever caught it
actually not making it or you know, relieving the smell problem. Yeah,

(11:22):
same with those gel tabs. Yeah, those gel tabs you like slap on
the side of the toilet and it'lllike clean. It's like a mini bleach
pad. Yeah, but yeah,how's that not a have a smell,
like a good smell. Yeah,it seems brainless. Yeah, went that
these things smell like soap. Theysmell like fresh like soap, like perfumed.
And you put them in the waterin the bowl before you sit down,

(11:46):
yea, and they they explode,I mean not like in a really
propulsive way, but they come apartlike a bath bomb or or like uh,
detergent tab you know, yeah,yeah, detergent little odd. Yeah,
but some of the yeah, someof that just seems also outdated,
Like there's got to be a method, and I know there's some cleaning stuff
again, you put in the backof the toilet. Yeah, that some

(12:09):
people use, But how's that justnot a common you know what's the shitty
movie? Jack Black? Maybe BenStiller or I think he has a spray
and it deletes poop, Like howare we not there? That's how?
That's how I know where the Earth'sflat and we haven't been in the moon,
Like, why aren't we putting themoney and engineering towards shit that matters.

(12:30):
I think his invention was for dogpoop and you'd go in the backyard
and you had a spray can itwould just delete it. It was gone.
That's crazy. I have no ideawhat movie that is. Yeah,
it was like just some off brandcomedy, but like like you ever heard
of this of us now? No, No, I forgot what it was
called. Yeah, and I swearit was called like poop ere or poopy

(12:52):
gone or something like that, poopygun And that's probably early two thousands movie.
I don't know. But obviously disintegratingmatter. I don't think it's possible,
but there's got to be something therewell, like that we could just
take care of poo rather than wejust like all throw it into one system.
Then all like fake gets filtered andthrow it back into a creek.

(13:13):
Tell me who was in this movie. I think Jack Black was the lead.
It might be something called money isactual title, but it's about poop
spray poo be gone. Maybe hereally looks like a wild man, you
know, No, he's bro.There's people on like Twitter, like just

(13:33):
taking pictures of him on the streetand shit, and he just like walks
around alone. He looks he looksso normal, like he's like the American
you know, he's like the mostlike yeah, like the most normal guy.
So he's just walking the streets whereverhe wants, doing whatever he wants,
all alone, and no one's bugginghim because he just looks normal.
Yeah. Where if you were walkingaround looking like Dwayne Johnson, people know
who the fuck you are. Helooks a little homeless to me. Yeah,

(13:54):
yeah, I know he's not,but he looks a little homeless.
Yeah, he's hairy, just wearingwhatever. His parents were rocket scientists,
that's crazy, literally, rocket scientists. Where's this whole filmography? And now
I need the answer to this question. You can find it. I'll find
it real quick. Uh. Anyway, we were getting some complaints about smell

(14:22):
in the gym, and I wastrying to think of a solution, and
currently that is a solution we're using, but it is not actually the whole
problem. And it turns out thatsince you know, I started having experience
with this particular building, which isback in two thousand and eight, there
has been a a standpipe venting sewergas into the building, which is crazy.

(14:52):
That's like a prank, yeah,basically yeah, and it's I mean,
it's not a good I mean,it's I don't know, it's literally
a prank. I'm like, man, how could I really get one up
on these guys. It's like fartspray, but all the time and organic,
you know. Yeah. The movie'scalled Envy and it is Ben Stiller
and Jack Black and one of them. I think maybe maybe Ben Stiller invents

(15:13):
it even and then Jack Black stealsit or something and then he gets rich
and that's where the title Envy comes. But it's a poop spray. And
again, I know, we can'tjust like make things disappear. But there's
got to be an answer in there'ssomewhere. The Star Trek podcast that I
listened to, they presupposed that inthe Star Trek world, they use the
transporters just to beam the poop outhere out of your gut so that you

(15:35):
don't yeah, or I don't don'tneed toilets. Yeah, yeah, I
don't know about that, because thenyou probably need some kind of colonoscopy deal,
which brings it to another story Iread. But we'll get there in
a second. Uh. Yeah,you should be able to at least poo
in the toilet or a bin andthen yeah, we beam it up Scottie
into the middle of nowhere. Imean, if the if the universe is
infinite, then there's no pain inme throwing some douki off there. Yeah,

(16:00):
you know it's it's throwing my doochieon the street here is an issue
because mar streets are not infinite.And I heard the latest announcement is Disneyland
has uh partnered with the National thissounds like a commercial too, with the
National Society of Colon Cancer and you'llsoon be able to get your colonoscopy in

(16:23):
disney Land. That's the only way. That's the only way I'm getting my
butt touched. Talk about re engineeringfor an aging population. Far Yeah,
that's the only way I'm getting mybutt touched. I'm going on fucking Magic
Mountain afterwards eating some butt touched onmagic Mountains. Oh yeah, man,
eating some dole whip. See.I had one colonoscopy and then said I'm

(16:48):
not having any more colonoscopies unless Ireally have to. I've been doing the
like the test where they take yourpoop and they look at the you know,
the DNA in it to make sureit's not if my but hurts all.
Yeah, I think I got tenyears. They do keep moving the
years back, which they do.I'm kind of everything. Yeah, although
like with prostate stuff, they kindof pushed it back because so much prostate

(17:17):
stuff is just like you know,like watch and wait and get all wrapped
around the axle about it, andthey want to treat it when there's nothing
really to do yet. And sounless someone is really way symptomatic, I
don't know. I mean, Idon't know. I'll shut my own finger
out my butt on fuging Magic Mountain. Let you guys know how it is.
Yeah, I'm I just know that. I because they use for a

(17:41):
colonoscopy, they use what they usedto call conscious sedation. I think they
call it minimal sedation or whatever.And part of it is just so that
you don't make a memory record ofit, so you might be somewhat aware,
but you don't remember it after.But whatever traumatic whatever they give me,
it knocks me out so bad.It takes hours to wake up,

(18:02):
like much longer than they would want. And then it takes me days to
get back on my feet again.Just to get your booty old touch.
Yeah, I remember. I rememberthem saying, oh, he's not out
enough yet, give him some morewhatever, and then like like there their
clock watching. It's like, yeah, we got to start. So like
they're going down the tunnel, youknow what I'm saying, They're going down

(18:25):
the tunnel as I'm going to sleepthe vertical corn cob method. Yes,
exactly, exactly. So anyway,bottom line, two bottoms, two bottoms.
Line, Yeah, is uh,dude, bombs are they should be
cheaper, but they they do work. If you're in a stinky poop environment,
it's it's certainly worth giving it ashot. And the other is like,

(18:49):
don't have sewer gas venting into youryour place. We uh, we
have sea bass placed for us aactivated charcoal filter system up there. That's
not really ideal because the methane isstill coming into the gym, but it
doesn't stink, so they're just gettinga little high. Yeah, yeah,
there you go. There's your poopnews for the days. Ladies and gentlemen,

(19:11):
we're all on top of the poopnews here. I read a mini
article that said Planet Fitness, whichis the enemy of most meatheads. You
know, I've never been in one, and I have seen some homies that
are like pretty jacked and in theindustry train there because I assume they're traveling
or whatever, so it can bethat bad, you know, like the
lunk alarms like a meme at thispoint. I don't even know if it's
that annoying or not. I don'tknow, but like, and the business

(19:33):
model is like not that bad.Even the jokes about like pizza on Fridays
used to get ripped up, ButI'm like, that's not that bad either,
Like there's way worse industry scams.Yeah, it's hard to go to
a powerlifting yeah right, Yeah.The powerlifters are the ones making fun of
it, and then they're the onesslamming gummy bears on their three by three
like they need some fucking extra glycogen, you know. But I did read

(19:56):
that Planet Fitness was I think allowingteenagers free memberships all summer, oh,
which is fucking sick. That's cool, Yeah, Like, who knows how
they're justifying that money wise, AndI don't care because they're a big,
old, huge conglomerate. I couldgive less of a shit if they make
money. But I think that's likea real step they at least try to

(20:18):
help some folks, like it seemsthe backing of it is genuine ish.
Yeah, who knows. You neverknow what corporate America's fucking doing or even
small America business wise, but Ithought that concept was cool. Obviously would
be nearly impossible to implement in mostbusinesses. Free shit for three months is
a tough one. Tough. It'skind of a tough go, yeah,

(20:40):
because it's not like you don't stillhave wear and tear from people coming in.
And yeah, I mean their wholebusiness models based on eighty percent of
their clients not using their facility,correct, you know, so they kind
of win regardless where you go toa gym like US or Barbara Gate or
anything like that. Power build myhomie shout out the col and I was
talking to them less. I uh, you know, our goal is to

(21:02):
have eighty percent of our people usingfacility. Yeah, you know, the
goal is to have people enjoy whatyou've built, rather than get ten thousand
members and fifty people come in aday. Yeah, that was a cool
idea. I don't know what itmeans or what it looks like, but
I mean, I hope it doesn'tgo for them the way the the Endless

(21:22):
Shrimp did for Red Lobster. Someoneelse is going out of business, right,
Red Lobster and then another one Ithink too. Just I don't think
it was all of Garden, butsomeone in that pocket a maybe cracker barrel
is going down in a lot ofareas. I still don't know if I've
been to one. I didn't evenknow we had one until a little while
ago. We don't anymore. Itjust closed, Yeah, it closed.

(21:45):
It was next door to uh blueHouse. Yeah. It's very south,
right, Yeah, very southern.Oh absolutely, Yeah. The only one
I've ever been in was in Texas. Yeah. It's a Georgia, Florida
type shit. Yeah. Yeah,I don't know if I've been maybe when
I was a kid. They're justit's just the most Oh. Maybe I
went to one and in Ohio too. I'm not sure. Yeah, they're

(22:06):
probably there or what's what's the onein Ohio that's so that's so popular in
the Columbus area that every there's BobEvans. Bob Evans, Yeah, Bob
Evans in Cleveland too. Yeah,it's a good deal. You can't really
go wround. I mean it's likeDenny's is popular here. It is kind
of the same ship, but it'slike even more you know, white mainstream.
Yeah. Yeah, it's like asuburbian country. It's for like country

(22:30):
folks that don't live in the country. Yeah, exactly, just for honkys
bland as possible. Yeah, it'svery okay. Yeah, but if you
gotta grab a sandwich, I meanthat same with like Olive Garden. You
know, I'm never gonna think,like, let me go grab some fine
Italian cuisine. I feel like I'mgonna go pick out, you know,
All Garden's not a terrible option,or Chili's or Applebee's, Red Robin,

(22:52):
Red Robin bro I try to goto Red Robin in Vegas. I try
to take mom Red Robin looky Bangs, Like their fries are really good.
Their burgers are pretty good too,are very good. Yeah, yeah,
for like a tree of fries,right, I think it might be uh
all you can eat now always maybealways, but either way, yeah,
like for that quality because you goto the other spots and it's like,

(23:14):
you know, three levels up formicrowave dinners, right, like an Applebee's.
You're like out back all that kindof stuff. For the price,
it ain't bad. I haven't beenin a while. If they raise prices.
What I used to put in thatcategory, which I don't think is
but in my head it was,is Chevy's. And I also didn't know
Chevy's only like West Coast, right, I think that's possible. Yeah,
yeah, Chevy's. You've been aChevy's. No, it's like a Mexican

(23:37):
Applebee's. Yeah, okay, I'vebeen like on the border, on the
borders. Maybe a little bit morefast casual. Chevy's is a little bit
more like feel like you're sitting down, you know, on the on the
border, Yeah, on the borders. Really Mexican Applebee's, I think yeah,
maybe yeah, maybe a little lowerbecause I think Chevy's is kind of
a stage above them because their chipsare like made in house and ship.

(24:02):
It's pretty good smells amazing. Yeah, it smells really good. The other
one, uh the bottom of thebarrel. These ones more down with the
crackers, cracker barrel. Wait aminute, is uh uh Fridays? Yeah,
Fridays is legit, just like Costcooven food. It used to be

(24:22):
halfway decent. No, he did, trust me. I'm going I mean
the ship out of their Montarella sticksand all that ship. But that's all
you get is that you're getting.Was it that guy Fieri's like restaurant,
No, no, no, Ithought it was no. No Fridays You're
yeah, you're has been around sincethe seventies. H in New York in
the seventies. I think, Yeah, you're getting chicken ten ds, potato

(24:42):
skins, and fucking monzarella state.Yeah, you can, like you can
buy potato skin chips like it atyour gas station convenience store from TJA Fridays.
Yeah. I think that's one ofthe things that's that's legitimately left about
Friday. I mean there's I thinkthere are still locations, we just don't

(25:02):
have any near us anymore. Yeah, maybe, oh Grove, I think
there was one. I forgot.I want to one at some point.
The biggest menu I've ever seen anywhere. Yeah, it's a toss up between
them and Cheesecakes. Yeah, cheesecakesnotorious. Yeah, I feel like the
food at Cheesecakes a little bit better. No, Cheesecake's definitely a level above
all these places. Cheesecake and Cheviesmight be on the same. Like,

(25:23):
you can get a steak at Cheesecakeand you're not gonna it's not gonna taste
like rubber. Yah, it's alegit steak. And their cakes there are
desserts are legitimately good and the servingsizes are so large it's hard to actually
have room for the cheesecakes. Yeah. Yeah, I actually never rarely get
cheesecake there, but they are semilegit. There are more to me.
Now, we're in like the bejscategory, which is like again not you

(25:45):
know, five star, but you'reeating real food. I have been in
one of those in a minute.They're just like good options because they have
everything, right, Yeah, theyhave like literally everything you ever need.
Yeah. Before the arena moved,my understanding was that the Beej's in the
Toomas that was not very far fromthe older very often had NBA players.

(26:06):
Yeah, because it's predictable yeah,yeah, you know you can get Yeah,
yeah, it's consistent, you couldtrack it. You're can get semi
healthy, like some chicken breast andsome rice or some shit. Yeah,
it is interesting. I don't knowwhere all the NBA cats live now.
I know some live in our hotel. But back in the day, the
King's Arena was in our northern suburbs, and a lot of people just lived

(26:26):
up there, even though there's nothinggoing on, just because it was close.
And that was probably part of thereason it was tough to recruit good
players and still is. Obviously we'rea very small market. But at least
now you can like live next tothe arena and like a four four and
a half star hotel or something.Yeah, condos up top. I know
a lot of the guys live upthere, Like makes a little bit more

(26:47):
sense. Where like Yeah, Natomas, where old arena was, was just
the most empty back then when weplayed there, there was nothing out there.
Yeah, there's still not a ton, there's more it's growing. Yeah,
it's bigger now than when they're there'sno arena. Yeah, there's more
food, more folks. Yeah,yeah, for sure, for sure.

(27:07):
So I had this idea and it'snot fully fleshed out, So we may
have to we may have to toworkshop this a little bit here. However,
I'll watch it not come up.Now, where to go I when
this happens? Oh, there wego Open Powerlifting. Yeah, we don't

(27:29):
really have any any direct connections tothem, but it has become the kind
of go to and uh, don'tdon't make the mistake that I did,
and the mistake that they did.Their Open Powerlifting is openpowerlifting dot org dot
com, but openpowerlifting dot com isa parked domain that should just be referring

(27:52):
here even if they're not using it, because domains aren't that expensive, and
you should own the ones that youyeah, that you want, Yeah,
unless whoever won't sell it. Yeah, and you know they accept donations and
whatever to keep things going. Yeah, for those not in the powerlifting world,
it's basically just a very large databaseof all the meat stats and records

(28:15):
from most legitimate federations. They havetheir own rules. It is independent,
you know, so they kind ofhave a rule over it, but they
seem to be pretty non biased andthey just choose federations they believe are semi
consistent and they store all the recordsof lifts completed, not completed or whatever.
For many many years on there beforethat, it was was the website

(28:37):
we used to use Powerlifting Watch.Powerlifting Watch was the number one. But
my guess is, and this isone ndred percent hypothetical. I haven't talked
to any of these folks ever,but Powerlifting Watch seemed probably more of like
a hobby, and so it wasalso earlier internet. You know, it's

(28:59):
been around like seven or some shit, and so their website had more issues.
But also just like the updates wouldbe slow or whatever. Open power
Liftings run like a legitimate you knowNBA dot com stats. Like those guys
are on top of their shit.Yeah, what I cannot figure out how
to do, uh, is justsort by by equipment. It's in raw

(29:22):
right with wraps. Yeah, theyhave it in there somewhere. I know
they do someplace. I'm not seeingit. I've never used on my phone.
I've only used a PC. Butyeah, they'll have every kind of
breakdown by fed weight, class,gender, nation, year, classic,
raw, open, raw, singleplot multi. They got all that bullshit.

(29:45):
Yeah that's what I thought too,And I'm having trouble finding that.
I just closed that tab too,so we may have to do this the
hard way, but it'll be it'llbe interesting regardless, starting at just full

(30:11):
power squat, Yeah, just allmixed together, super heavy. Do you
know who holds the number one spotin wraps squat raw all time? Yeah,
all the time, everything for thebig boys? Yeah, probably Dan
Bell. It is Dan Bell.Yeah, eleven and thirteen point three pounds.

(30:37):
Yeah, here's back in motion inthe WRPF back in twenty twenty one.
Yeah, was it eleven eleven thirteen? Because I think that here just
squatted eleven something. I don't knowif it was an official meet because it
looked crazy basically, you know,is it here? Uh did Joe you
say, coach? No? No, did he like this kind of mid

(31:00):
level like high level squatter? Uh? Late twenty tens he was really busting
off, but he just squatted elevensomething and uh he had some crazy I
don't know where he's from, sodon't don't misquoade mebe he's not from here.
Uh. So he's got some crazylooking equipment. He's known for just
screaming his fucking tits all like he'sfucking going crazy. But it looks like

(31:22):
it's a powerlifting meat type situation andhe unracks it from a combo rack and
four people drag the combo rack outof the way. Yeah, so he
doesn't have to walk it out,Oh my lord. Yeah, that's an
interesting turn. They have to dragit back in. Yeah, or he
dies they walk into the parking lot. When he's forgotten, I can find
it again. It was my discovery, which yeah, I was taking of

(31:47):
Brandy Terry and she was the onetelling me that he was back in action.
So here cool daiya rolf. He'sgot twenty flags in his uh bio,
so I don't I doesn't really helpme where he's from. Like I
think he's got to finish the Finlandflag and Italy an Italian flag. Yeah,
and then the one on the farleft is where he's from, which

(32:08):
is one of the stands I think. But I don't know what that flag
is. Let's see what he squatted. Oh it's not in English. There's
gonna be too, Is this it? So he's squed a one thousand and
three April twenty nine, But Iswear, yeah, five hundred kg five
days ago at what way? Umhe used to be a two seventy five

(32:32):
But I don't know if this iseven a meat because again I think they
drag the combo away, so Idon't imagine that's legitimate, legitimate, but
it might be. I mean,who knows, right, because we're in
foreign territory literally, so maybe theirfederation allows that. I don't know.
So just jumping at a weight class, he's the number one in two seventy

(32:52):
five. Yeah, over one thousand, yeah, ten fifty eight, ten
fifty eight point two. That's fuckingstrong. Now what were going down weight
class lists and see if I canguess them? Uh yeah, I think
that's what we're gonna do. Sonow we're in two forty two's while we
skipped over three oh eight. Yeah, they don't really care. You're not
gonna matter just yet. Just getfat, you're not gonna know. It's
not the guy from all Australia withthe Russian type name. Uh no,

(33:15):
all right, that's my best guess. Yeah, James Sercy ten fifty eight
point two, ten fifty eight.So it's the same as the same as
the seventy five records. It seemsto kind of move that way, you
know, since the Little Bridges andEric was such a big squadter. His
performances at two seventy five, threeoh eight and super heavy were pretty close.
You know, you might be ableto get a little mful on your
bench, but once you're that bigin that jacked Yeah, you know.

(33:37):
Eric Lillbridge was uh number three attwo seventy five, or is number twenty
at nineteen nineteen sixty four and ahalf, damn it in seven nineteen twenty
fourteen in the UPA. That mayhave happened here upas Illinois. I think
that was what what we think aboutwith Jacob, but we used to Yeah

(33:58):
maybe, but we used to doUPA meets here too back in the day.
That's twenty fourteen. Yeah, yeah, probably passed us because I think
we were out in twenty fourteen andalthough I think we did a meet here
and then we were out, butthat was yeah, they're all SPF when
I was here, it was weleft in October two forty two. Uh.

(34:22):
Yeah, Eric Lebridge as the thethe number two at three and eight
as well. Yeah, it wasgonna say ten to fifty two points.
He might be top five, topten, and all three of those weight
classes. I think he might haveheld both at once two forty two.
I don't know a ton of thenew guys. I know Herbie made a

(34:42):
run at two forty two at somepoint and squatted over nine. Yeah,
Herbie the love Bug. What ishis real last name? Yees, gov
name, It is Herbie, butI can't think of his last name.
I know he made a run atit. I know Jordan Wong's in the
conversation. I know Joe Sullivan's inthe conversation. What else has been banging

(35:06):
weights at two forty two? What'scrazy is how long some of these dudes
records can stand now, showing thatwe've really pushed the borders where Yeah,
like the Ladies all time deadlift.I was just talking to Brandy because she
owns a record like that. Thing'sbeen broken like five times in last year.
That's crazy, the all time,all time deadlife record, you know.
So, like the Ladies are ona real path right now of the

(35:29):
destructure. There's like four or fiveof them just smashing over six hundred and
forty pounds deadlist, which is crazy. Yeah, those are my three names
in the Okay, the the answerat two forty two is Philip Herndon.
Oh yeah, Herndon's a freak two. He he's probably top ten, two
to seventy five. Also, i'dimagine I know Phil. Yeah, Phil's
a freak dead looks pretty good.Bench is really good nine in twenty twenty

(35:53):
two in the USPC. Yeah,nine pretty good. I am surprised it
hasn't broken a thoul yet, butyeah, it's pretty good. Is Joe
in there? At least top ten? He's got to be. I know
he's more of a two twenty,but uh probably so. I don't have
access to all of that. Yes'sright, we'll go to two twenties now

(36:13):
twenty I think. Is Joe right? No? Oh damn, I thought
he had it last No, it'snot his song. Should I give you
the initials? Sure? CP?Oh shit, I don't know if that's
helping CP. I mean I probablyknow the guy, but okay, CEP's
not yet fire Chad oh Penson pens. Yeah, Chad's been smashing weins for

(36:36):
a long time. What's that like? A eighty one? Uh nine?
Five point nine? Nice in inJuly of twenty twenty two. Yeah,
Chad's a CALLI guy. I thinkhe's I think he's an Soku guy.
At least he was for a longtime. That WRPF. Yeah, I've
never actually crossed paths with him,but Chad's been around for a while.
He's a very strong fuck one eightin see, I don't even know who

(37:00):
lifts. It might be Chad,It's probably Chad Pinson. He's number two,
damnit and eighty one and a halfand that's from twenty twenty one.
I don't know who do want anynot? Joe, I don't think you
cut down that small? Patrick Morrison, Yeah, sorry Pat eight eighty two
point nine and the wpr R wRPF Australia. Yeah, sorry, Aussey's.

(37:22):
I don't know y'all's lifters that much. I know uh Lock I forgot
his name too, but yeah,I know a couple Ossey's, but not
that many. I apologize, fam, I got love though, I do
got love one. Yeah, you'regonna start to lose me. Yeah with
the rapped guys, I know Chadstarted there. Penson, Yeah, so
that wouldn't surprise me. The otherone is uh something with a D in

(37:42):
his last name. Also Uspa.There is a D in the last name
in the second position. Yes,fuck, what's his name? He's jacked
out of his brains. He justsleeped and raps. That's why I think
it's him. Is he uspa uspa? Yeah, it's the guy I'm thinking
about from twenty twenty Locker forgot hisname. I'm sorry, bro. He's
strong, though, very strong.Malik Yep. Durstin, Yeah, Durstin.

(38:05):
Malik's a fucking animal. He mighteven have the one sixty five also,
now, yeah, he's number two. Number one is probably not something
you're gonna know. Huh do youknow him? No? I mean I
think I've heard the name, butI think, but I think maybe it's
just I've heard the last name.Because I've heard last name, I kind
of my whole life is Chris Pugh. And this record was set in the
Irish po Sorry Irish folk. Idon't know a lot of y'all's untested and

(38:29):
shit either. Yeah, I assumeuntested. We're talking all time, all
time, all time, all thetime. It's hard to tell. Yeah,
Although, because you get to thelighter weight classes and it's it's arguable
that the drug argument starts to dissolvea bit, right, because the drugs
help you gain a ton of mass. It does help you get stronger,
clearly, but normally you kind ofclass yourself out right because you're gonna gain

(38:52):
weight. Yeah, if you're oneforty five, you know, set point
naturally. Sure, maybe you couldhop on some shit get to the once
a five record, but the chancesthat are just slim. Normally you just
gain a bunch of mass. Yeah, so you end up, you know,
affecting the bigger boys a little bitmore. Yeah, for sure.
Now what the hell is under oneone sixty one sixty five? Yeah,

(39:13):
no clue? In wraps? Well, it just is just is everything.
This is all. It doesn't necessarilywraps, it's just everything. Uh yeah,
but we're talking all time, squatall times, so yeah, it's
gonna be a guy in wraps probably. Yeah. My guess is like a
rush in you know, Eastern cat. No, God, damn it,
I don't know any one sixty fivevers I'm sorry, y'all. Alex Ramos,

(39:37):
Yeah, sorry, Alex, Idon't know you buddy. Yeah,
what's the number seven something? Seventwo? Which is kind of crazy though,
right, Like is that accurate?What did uh uh uh perk squat
like seven to fifty yeah in sleeves? Yeah, I bet you this is
wraps only. I think the Ithink, because I think the sleeve there

(39:59):
on tested is like over seven fifty. That's interesting that the you got perfect
it is seven o one seven ohone. All right, that's still pretty
crazy though, seven oh one testedsleeved seven oh one, arguably untested wrapped

(40:23):
seven fifty. Yeah, things aregetting test Yeah, things are getting close.
Yeah, there was a WRPF,so not necessarily tested for sure.
Yeah, I think they have atested division now, but again it's just
very uncommon, uncommon. And what'sbelow that one forty five? Oh yeah,

(40:44):
I don't know none of that.I don't know this one either.
It's another Australian lifter, Cristo's papa. Notice, okay six thirty nine,
okay, uh, there's a smallhuman as a small human one thirty two.

(41:07):
Now we're way down there down Theant was one thirty two, right,
The ant pulled like five eighty five. But I don't know if he's
a squad like that. Yeah,I mean I think he squatted five,
which is highly impressive. But Idon't know if he's the best all time,
because my best is my guess isit's probably in the high five six
hundreds, which is absurd, rightif you're one hundred and thirty pound dude.

(41:27):
But no, I can't say Iknow the name or even think about
it. Okay, at one thirtytwo it is Jeremy Smith in the SPF
Oh nice. Uh six thirty five, God damn strong flog. So before

(41:47):
I go any further, Yeah,of the one fourteen's, one twenty threes,
one thirty two's and one forty eight, which one of those do you
think has the lowest all time record? One three, one thirty five one?

(42:08):
Who's the lowest number? Lowest?I mean, you're only asking because
it's not one fourteen that's correct,so it's got to be. I would
say one twenty three it is.Uh, no, it's actually it's actually
this category, it's actually one thirtytwo. I was thinking one thirty Yeah,
six thirty five, the the oneOh, I'm sure the one twenty

(42:31):
three record is six forty four pointeight. What's one fourteen six thirty nine
point four Yeah, almost six timebodyweight squash. Yeah, that insane.
And the one fourteen and one twentythree records are held by the same person
often, uh, And I don'tknow either of these federations. I gotta

(42:54):
be uh European andres st Nazi Zick. Yeah, yeah, maybe even on
the Eastern Front. Yeah, EPFis the and and bv d K are
the federations. A Strong, Istraight up never heard of got Betty,
Betty Strong. A lot of alot of meats for this guy, A

(43:16):
lot, a lot, a lotof meats going back how far, very
long ago. And that's wrapped first, uh, Raw, it could be
wrapped, but Raw doesn't really saynineteen ninety was a first person. Yeah.
Yeah, he might be in hisforties, fifties. That's crazy.

(43:37):
Yeah, I mean if you're ateen or a young man in nineteen ninety.
Yeah. And the record was setin two thousand and two for the
one fourteen and two thousand and threefor the twenty three and those are current.
Yeah, damn, no one's caughtit. No one's caught him.
Yeah, that's interesting. I justgotta be so just taxing to think about

(44:00):
that. As as a light bodyweight person like you. Really you talk
about genetics and powerlifting, right,if you don't have the genetics to do
that, you can want it allday long, and it's not gonna do
it. It's not gonna happen foryou. Yeah, there's so many factors
of being a certain height, acertain build, and then maintaining that dude
probably walks around at one hundred andthirty pounds. Yeah right, So like

(44:22):
these variables just become how many hundredand thirty pound dudes? Do you know?
They could lift six to everybody weightthey just even know it's just one
hundred and thirty pound dudes. Ohoh period, yeah yeah right, so
now our funnel's quite small. Yeah. Yeah. When I was twenty one,
I weigh one hundred and thirty onepounds. Oh, I was probably

(44:44):
third grade or something. I can'teven imagine. I think I was one
hundred and sixty pounds in junior high, so seventh grade, whatever the fuck
age you are, twelve, Iwas one hundred and sixty I think,
Yeah, one hundred and thirty.I can't even imagine. That's probably the
oldest record then, right, becauseall the other names I kind of knew,
So those are probably at least twentyfifteen or newer. It's got to

(45:06):
be the oldest in the of onesin the first position, that's correct.
There's a nineteen eighty one in thein the third position, in one twenty
three interesting because at Mackenzie that's aname and a half. So it's like
a nineteen forties golfer. Yeah,squad squad in five twelve and a half
in nineteen eighty in the in theIPF. Oh shit, it's a tested

(45:27):
and probably probably sleeves. Probably sleeves. Otherwise it's single ply but there's potentially
didn't wear a suit. That washappened, although not common. Interesting,
Yeah, listed as just raw somefreaks, so probably sleeves, you know,
yeah, some freaks. Yeah,it is interesting that that hasn't that
someone else hasn't hunted that shit down. Yeah. Yeah, and these I

(45:50):
should note that all of this we'retalking to his full power and not yeah,
squad only, not squad only,not that that's very common, but
yeah, in fact, it lookslike that that those records are almost exactly
the same, not exactly the same, but almost yeah. Yeah, because
you'll get like a deadlift only guyor something, maybe a a bench only,
Yeah, bench only. It's definitelycommon, the spotos, most big

(46:14):
records. Even Koreill, although wecould deadlift and squad pretty good, all
his records were broken squad bench only, which you know is a whole other
argument which hasn't talked about a lotnow because it's much less common to do
push poll or bench only or deadonly. But there used to be a
big fight back in the day whatmade a powerlifter, you know, because
there's a lot of big records beingbroken by guys that only deadlifted, at

(46:36):
least only competed in the deadlift.They would squat and bench they were not
competitive in those. Yeah, maybethey weren't the best or whatever, and
so they would call themselves powerlifters,and that would make full power guys real
pissed off. Where it is true, like our sport's already so basic,
right, you only got three thingsto do, might as well do them.
But I also could care less togate keep the term of a powerlifter.

(47:00):
No, I agree with you there. I mean, I think that
part of part of the reason thatwe feel that way is that we're a
little more chill about these things.Number one. Number two, we're not
in it at the moment, likewe're not, you know, we're not
We're not part of any kind ofcompetitive landscape. So yeah, that's true.
Because the closer you get to thetop, I understand getting more nitpicky

(47:22):
because you're fighting tooth and nail forwhatever you're doing. But yeah, I
also just never like my soul,never identified as a powerlifter. You know,
people are getting do your thing.I get it, but it's kind
of my only sport, so Isort of had to. Yeah. Yeah,
fair if you love it, youlove it? Yeah, you want
to go a bench? Yeah?Or is that too long? Full power?

(47:43):
Bench? No? We we hadtime super heavy, super heavy bench
in Meat in Meat three o eightplus. Yeah. Yeah. A lot
of the bench numbers I know arebench only guys in Meat. It's probably
I would say in the sixth maybemid sixes, but I don't know who
per se. I think Dan Bellsquad or bench six, which probably isn't

(48:07):
it. No, I would totallynot enough. All the numbers are over
seven really full power, full power? Well the fuck is that? Uh
in the first position? Is itMaddox? No? Yeah, because I
don't think he's done full power sevensixteen and a half Thomas Davis, Sorry,

(48:29):
Tom, nineteen twenty one, aren'tuallytwenty twenty one WRPF. Yeah,
I don't know, Thomas. That'sfucking strong, though. Seven sixteen was
the bench record up until twenty fourteen. So but I think that's that's gotta
be geared. We'll find out.I don't think so. It doesn't have
to be. No, it's wrong. Yeah, yeah, it doesn't have

(48:52):
to be. That's wrong. Yeah, people are getting freaky. Yeah,
geared would be over one thousand.That's fucking yeah, that's true. Yeah
the fuck that's crazy strong. Yeah. The all time bench record bench only
only was a seven sixteen. Uhyeah, twenty fourteen, not that long
ago. So to do that withsquat and bench and your squad and bench,

(49:13):
mister Thomas, I imagine are probablypretty strong. That's pretty good.
Yeah, the Yeah, the threeoh eighth single lift you know, bench
only record is seven eighty two andasthmatic Yeah yeah, I know. At
one point he was making a pushfor a full power meet, you know,
because you you even squat eight poleeight bench eight, you know you're

(49:34):
smashing. Is so hard, particularlyraw, to be able to bench the
most that you can possibly bench afteryou've squatted, because your shoulders have to
be in and stuff. You justdon't yea and taking a token is just
kind of not a move. Yeah, because pure strategy, sure you'd go
bench one thirty or squat one thirtyfive bench eight poll in thirty five,

(49:57):
right, that's kind of a pointlessat this point because people do respect all
time bench for whatever reason. That'sfucking strong seven sixteen. So now we're
at three oh eight threeh eight.I don't know, yeah, I don't
know. I don't know these giantass benchers, man, I think you
know this one. Really, I'mtrying to think of giant ass benchers because
a lot of like the big assbenchers I know, Yeah, don't squatter

(50:20):
dead. The three to oh eightbench is only six forty five, I
know U. I know JP wasin the conversation and not on my list,
not top ten, not in thetop well he might be in the
top ten, he's not in thetop three. Yeah, because JP,
I think bench six thirty ish.He might have been super heavy though that
was full power. He's squat nine. Shout out JP. I don't know.

(50:47):
Larry Williams, Larry Wheels. Yeah, that's crazy XPC. I mean
I believe it. That's cool.He still got an all time all time
because he hasn't competed. Yeah,it's definitely him. Yeah, yeah,
there's not not a not a yeah, pretty common name, but yeah,
exactly. Not that common to bethat strong, Larry. Yeah. Indeed,

(51:09):
the bench only three O eight toseven O five and that's him.
Bench only is Johnny Harris. Yeah, but full power, full power is
Larry is Larry. Yeah, that'scrazy, all right? Two seventy five
Yeah, maybe Larry again. No, this one's really oldster, very old
record. It's from nineteen eighty three. It's god damn six fifty point three

(51:35):
in the US. Yeah, it'snot Kirk. It's definitely a name,
you know, Yeah, I see, I just don't know my eras as
tight as I know, like theNBA, Like, I know, Kirk's
what maybe more seventies. Maybe I'meven wrong there, maybe he's more nineties.
Yeah, yeah, but I knowhe's in the conversation two seventy five
or two seventy five, not Eddie, what's the what's the bench number?

(51:57):
Sorry? Six fifty point three,six fifty Yes, yeah, I know
Kirk was in that conversation eighties.Go ahead, don't know what ted r
CD or CD or CD's a legendfor sure. Yeah, our city's ALLEGI
I was gonna say, like DougYoung, I know benched in the sixes
and it was a two seventy fiveer, but he might have been a
gear and he's probably in the seventies. Yeah. The the second and third
positions, James Strickland and Trey godBold, are those a little newer?

(52:24):
I assume they were both newer,once twenty eighteen, the other twenty twenty
one, both us. You thinkLarry could come take that if he wanted.
You'd think, yeah, maybe hejust hasn't cut down that small to
compete, but he could probably benchhigh sixes. All right, now we're
on two forty two, forty two. I know Dan Green was in the
conversation for a long time, probablynot anymore. This is from twenty eighteen

(52:49):
ESPA. It's also it's the samenumber at six fifty point three. Interesting.
I don't think Chad's up there andthat Penson is in that conversation.
He's more of a high fives.Definitely know this name. Oh dude,
I feel so bad my numbers.I was just talking about this with uh
Jamar and uh Bart, like howI used to be pretty locked in on
the all time records. You know, there's just no many lefters, There's

(53:09):
so many, But this is whywe can do this segment. Now,
yeah, if you were just spittingthe answer. Yeah, I used to
be. I used to do liketen minutes one ninety eight to three oh
eight. I used to be reallygood to forty two. You think I
know him yet, Joe's not there, Jordan Wong's not there. I'm trying
to think of the benchers. Itis twenty eighteen. I definitely know him.

(53:35):
Hit me Jeremy Hornstrau, Oh,Jeremy Warrens of course, yeah,
he's benched six sixty one. Ithink even above that. Jeremy's a strong
fuck yeah for twenty eighteen is alittle bit even past when he was like
really popular. I feel like,yeah, yeah, And the other two
records in two forty two are sixhundred point seven. That's Rocky Ruiz and

(53:59):
that was some twenty twenty one,and then Luke Toleman this year strong,
Yeah, fucking strong to twenty Yeah, probably sitting around six to six hundred
and And I will give you thisclue that the two the number one in
the two twenty and then one ninetyeight and the number two in the one

(54:22):
eighty one all the same person.It's not it's his name Griffin. He
was with iron rebel. I knowhe benched five eighty five at one ninety
eight, but it might have beenbench only you totally know this person.
I think this person and I thinkyou know know this person not John Hack.
It is John Hack. Yeah,John's a freak. Yeah, of
course John Hack two twenty six hundredpoint seven at one ninety eight. Of

(54:46):
course five eighty nine point seven.Yeah, of course. I mean he's
probably got the Squad record. Iknow he didn't. We went over the
squad record, but yeah, forSleeves that's why. But in Sleeves he's
probably got all three records in probablytwo or three way classes. I mean,
he's the Bones Jones. Yeah,fucking he's csp the second coming of
it. Come. Yeah. Ithink his argument really will be almost identical

(55:08):
to a Jordan Lebron argument, whereJohn Hack has the longevity of it and
not that career was short, butEd just had like an overwhelming career.
Yeah, and you know, likehis ten years were so dominant. But
Hack's going on the Natty to notNatty. You know, fucking he's gonna
have a twenty year venture of beingdominant. Yeah, I mean, it's

(55:30):
not a surprise that he has afascination with Captain America because he just fucking
looks like a super soldier. Yeah, he's a freak. So now we're
down already at the one sixty fivevers one sixty five. Yeah, actually
one ad, the number one ofone eighty one is Melick Durston. Yeah,
Durstein's a freak. One's sixty five. Yeah, you already lose me

(55:53):
after one one gentleman, not anybodythat I know, Uh, Achy Kamata,
Yeah, not ringing the mouth atfour ninety point five in the JPA,
which has got to be Japanese.Maybe the Association four ninety man at
fucking what's sixty five? Pretty crazy? Yeah, that's what motherfuckers is praying

(56:14):
to squad. Yeah, the oneforty eight is very close to the one
night one sixty five seventy four somethingfour seventy yeah, uh, Eddie Bergland,
Sorry, little guys, don't knowthe stronger. You don't know that
Federation EPF Egyptian Powerlifting Maybe who knows, I don't know one thirty two.

(56:36):
Uh, you want to guess,like what the what the record number is
one all time bench? Let's gofour to twenty three for twenty four point
four. You're pretty much dead onand the the this was in the a
PC and we're in America. Yeah, the the lifters name is Eric Head.
I've seen that name. I've definitelyseen that name. Sorry, Bud,

(56:59):
it don't hoo you are, butI've seen that name in some record
books. For sure. One twentythree similar one three or fourteen have the
same number one position person or weightperson. I'd say the weight for one
twenty three, we're looking at maybea four to fourteen. One twenty three
maybe we're looking at like a fourh two and uh no clue who it
is. Okay, they're both belowfour hundred. Oh shit, step your

(57:22):
game up, man, fuck goingon their nineties. The the one fourteen
and one twenty three same person,very similar weight, but the actually the
one fourteen is higher than the onetwenty three, same lifter, Andreas Stanaasak.
That's who we were with the squad, I think. Yeah, so

(57:42):
all I meant somebody that's that isin the top three for the squat and
and the bench in their weight classor multiple weight classes. That's pretty strong,
very impressive. Yeah, that thatthree ninety three point three at one
fourteen was uh and then in nineteenninety four and the I p f H.

(58:07):
Should we say deadlift? Yeah,we gotta. We got im out
the PM between Okay, I needa pause, yeah, or you can
continue? No, just go ahead, guess Seabuss is not gonna know.
I'm not gonna guess anything. No, No, you're not m and we're

(01:00:09):
back dead lifts, super heavy,full meat raw. I'm gonna butcher these.
Actually, these are probably the onesI know the least. And the
Bell curve on these is interesting too, right, because the three eights super
heavies normally aren't the strongest. Oftenit's in a two forty two or two
seventy five range, which I thinkis the current we're you're on it there,

(01:00:30):
Yeah, with Jamal and Griggs,So three O eight plus, I
believe that you have met this personin person. I don't think it's Dan
Bell, although he's probably top ten, top five because I think he's pulled
nine there. Yeah, nine willnot get you into the top three.
And with three eight plus Yeah,damn, I didn't know they pulled it.

(01:00:51):
Thou Wow they didn't. Oh no, I'm just saying it flat night.
Yeah, yeah, the lowest onthe list and it's actually second and
third are tied at nine to twentypoint four and super super heavyweight all time
polls what like nine thirty nine?Uh uh for poll only Yeah, no,

(01:01:14):
no, since we've been doing fullpower the whole time, we'll just
stay there. Oh no, it'sit's nine seventy five and a half.
Nine seventy five and a half.Yeah, this same person, Benny,
Benny pull thal It is Benny infull meat nine seventy Yeah, nine seventy
five. For those that don't know, Benny Magnuson was a strong man,
powerlifter, all the above, maybethe first raw gout to pull a thousand

(01:01:34):
and a meat. Although there's argumentsthat it was nonsense, gender or whatever
because he's more in basketball, itwas, it was, it was.
Yeah, I don't think that.I mean, it's it's listed as just
hardcore as a federation, Yeah,which might be right because he's like Icelandic
or something. But he is oneof the most funny there's a lot of
funny, interesting guys on the internet, but he was one of them in
the early days. Yeah, okay, yeah, so Benny. Yeah,

(01:01:59):
he's lost a lot of weight recently. I'm sure looks bodybuilder ish at this
point, he's not super young anymore. He's not older than me, so
he's probably yeah, and director wasin twenty ten, so yeah, But
I think besides, even before Strongman, I think he was what maybe the
third guy to ever pull a thousand. There's like Andy Bolton like that.
Andy Bolton did it in a suit, and then Benny Magnuson for a very

(01:02:21):
long time was known as the onlyraw guy to pull a thousand with hands,
with hands, even with straps.It wasn't as common, you know,
it didn't get that calm until theBrian Shaws and Thors and Benny's the
kind of the generation before that.H three oh eight. I would have
guessed the numbers are similar, probablyin the nine twenties, nine forties higher,
no shot, Yeah, you alsoknow who this is? God damn,

(01:02:42):
who the hell is The number isten twenty five point one? Ten
twenty five? Is it? DanGriggs? Is Dan Griegsby? Oh damn.
He just didn't want to cut thattime because he's jacked out of his
mind. So to think of himbeing over three or I guess three hundred
pounds, I guess over two seventies. He might have just weighed in at
like two ninety maybe just over seventyfive, because I've never met him in
person. Obviously, the arguably thebest deadlifter of all time, maybe even

(01:03:07):
the dead best strongest right now,but he just doesn't look that tall,
and then he's pretty fucking jacked,so to think of him being well into
the three hundreds is kind of interesting. But yeah, ten ten something makes
sense. Yeah, he pulled atthree oh eight. He pulled ten twenty
five for a single lift. Yeah, yeah, I assume he ten cut
and ten ten seventy four or sevenat two seventy five also single lift,

(01:03:30):
and ten thirty point six two fortytwo single lift. Yeah, he's a
freak. I mean, it's himand Jamal going back and forth to who
is arguably the best deadlift of alltime or at least in the current age,
and who I think will go downas one of the best deadlifters of
all time and Jamal, you know, Jamal's probably six to one. Jamal's
a big dude. Yeah, Jamal'sjack two. But and I don't know,
but I assume Jamal walks around liketwo seventy and they seem similar issue

(01:03:55):
size, so that that is interestingthat he's way up there. He has
the all time at the others aswell. Right now, right, he's
got the all time full power attwo forty two, at ten thirty point
six. Yeah, and then twotwenty. I don't think either of those
guys have cut down that drastic yet. Uh No, it's not jamalar Dan.

(01:04:17):
No, I can't even say thisname. Oh we got a Russian.
Yeah, it's Christophe. Where's Bicky? Oh yeah, nine fifty five
out seven Yeah, in twenty twentyin the nap whatever that is. Are
there the other my other Russian fansbehind him, there's two or three very
popular, very clean sumo deadlifters,Belkan being one of them, who's probably

(01:04:43):
pulled nine over nine at two twentyfull power. Yeah. Belcans is in
the number three spot at two fortytwo with nine to seventy Yeah, and
then Jamal is ten fourteen point one, and then number two position at two
forty two and then twenty I assumemight be Belcan again similar weight nine sixty
nine seventy. No, it's it'sthis guy's name and that I just oh,

(01:05:06):
it's this whole alphabet soup. Yeah, yeah, yeah, can I
buy a yeah, polish looking down. Yeah, and then number two is
uh Kayler willem oh Yeah, Kaylerpulled probably nine forty nine fifty nine to
fifty three point three five and JohnHack he's in the number three position at
nine thirty nine point one. Iwonder if Belcan just never threw a full

(01:05:28):
power this year twenty then yeah,maybe not because Belcan's yeah polls close to
one thousand over nine fifty at multipleweight classes. But maybe they just don't
care about cutting. The Russians aretougher on us. Dude, there's no
weight classes in the jungle. Youpussy's point at your dot score. Belcan
didn't give a fuck. Bellcan likehe's jacked for sure, but there's probably
a way you could find his wayto one ninety eight. You know he
was just if he was just recordseeking, he's probably just beast seeking,

(01:05:51):
so props to him. One ninetyeight's probably hack again. Then it's hacked,
yeah, nine oh three nine yeah, followed by Liam Newell at eighty
seven point three and Kaylor will themagain at eight. That's not that crazy,
you know, to think like youngSilent Mikey could hop on some sauce

(01:06:12):
and you know, like and itit's obviously all hypothetical, and people are
like, well, it's easy tosay, but like eight eighty just probably
isn't that far out of my wheelhouseif I give a good eight years of
sauce. Yeah, Kaylor's on thetall side. Kaylor's built, very typical
kind of strong man, deadlifter,right, very lanky, kind of Pete
Rubishi. Yeah, a lot ofthose early guys are kind of built like
that. Even the George Lehman's andthe Chris Hickson's and even the little bridges

(01:06:36):
were all kind of, you know, not as short as you think.
Yeah, but Kaylor was definitely onthe slimmer side. Yeah, definitely a
light Yeah. I think it wasdifficult for him to gain weight. Yeah,
and probably hence some of the injuriesand shit, yeah correct his back
injury, I assume. I thinkI think back injury and his run was
a little bit shorter timed as well. It's it's difficult, man, it's
hard. Then we're at one eightyone, maybe a Durstein in the conversation,

(01:06:59):
I think he's in the sevens oreight's not in the top three?
Are we in the nines? Uh? It's almost eight ninety two point eight
Strong, not hack. I don'tthink he's done that on the on the
dark side, Yeah, I thinkhe's one to eighty one. Are all
on the natty side well wpr wrpf w rpf USPA. Yeah, so
I assumed on the darker side theDarth Vader region. I don't know an

(01:07:26):
Darth Vader region. I don't can'tthink of a I don't know this lifter
you hit him, Dimitri Nazanov.Yeah, I mean all those guys are
just so sumo gods. Yeah,followed by uh Blake lahou yeah, laheu.
Yeah, I know Blake at eightforty eight points. Yeah, Blake's
made a run of nine a coupleof times. Blake will probably take that

(01:07:47):
in a bit. Yeah, Blake'sa strong little fuck and his squad and
Ben aren't bad either. Blake's Blake'sdefinitely in the conversation of he's young.
I think he's in his mid twenties. I might be wrong, maybe he
just looks it, but and thenumber three is very close at eight forty
four point three. Liam Newell strongFox one sixty five vers. I don't

(01:08:10):
know if you know this person ornot. I want to rusk get in
there now. Russ pulled eight,right like Russ pulled eight on the natty
side, one eighty one in thegym, but not in the meat,
not yet, not yet, onesixty five vers. Yeah, probably some
other polishy Russian name. I assumeit's a w RPF lifter. This category

(01:08:30):
WRPF, w RPF a c PL. Yeah, I don't know. I
don't know, my little guy,sorry fan, Keith Korea, I don't
know yet, Keith. But hepulled eight oh four point seven fucking beastly
eight o four. Anything pulling eighto four in general is such a beast
you know. That's kind of thestandard of fuck you can deadlift. And
to do that, yeah, wellbelow under two hundred pounds is crazy.

(01:08:54):
Forty eight the number is seven thirtyand this uh RPS h the green plates.
This is probably an Eastern coaster twentytwenty twenty four, so this year
January of this year. I knowthe RPS is just popular on the East
coast. A Newish, Newish record, Yeah, Jersey Boy or some shit.

(01:09:17):
Raymond Phillips, I think I've heardthe name. I don't know if
I know, Raymond, what's thenumber seven thirty Yeah, strong, Betty,
Betty strong, Uh thirty two.My guess is yeah, six eighty
ish six thirty nine. Oh,step the fuck up, little guys,
what are you doing now? There? Uh? It's also another w RPF

(01:09:40):
lifter from twenty twenty three. Uh, Socio Santiago Watkins not one I know,
Yeah, sorry Sergio, but that'svery strong buddy. Twenty three?
Is it over or under six hundredpounds? The one thirty five was six
thirty? Is he six thirty nine? I'll say we're at six or above.

(01:10:02):
Yeah, it's were five ninety eightand a half. Yeah, Dalton
Leco in the IPF in twenty eighteen. Legit, very legit. And the
number fifth bar yeah, stiff bar. Uh the one fourteen is five seventy.
Uh it's five to thirty. Stepthe fuck up. You pussy's in

(01:10:25):
the SPS. That's what Abby's bowlingin the SPF. So maybe one of
our means who knows twenty twenty twoso a little beyond Yeah, I didn't
even know they had SPF nowadays.I mean he's got to be from the
South, I ass uh. TracyJohnson good Parrelift nine. Some strong folks
out there, uh a USA NorthCarolina World Paralifting Championships spfwpiece. I don't

(01:10:53):
know, hum Masters that was aMasters of Shire forty five to forty nine.
Yeah, none of that impresses me. Sorry. I just think you
can get your strongest in your fortiesstill. I still kind of stand by
that, Like, if you're notan idiot with your drugs and your training,
your nutrition, you know, ifyou don't blast everything, I think

(01:11:14):
you can. Longevity is the gameof this where other sports is just not.
You know, your your explosive shit'sgonna start to wind down in your
forties. But I think you canstill maintain. I mean, look at
Jen Thompson, like she's absolutely dominatingstill for thirty years and Natty yeah yeah.
And the drugs would only help,you know, a male as they
age, So I think you canreally be your strongest, you know,

(01:11:35):
forty five ish, if you're notfucking around. Shall we do total?
Yeah? We can bang out thetotal or we stop bang out the total
for a ten minute or yeah.Either way. I have no clue on
the total numbers. You'll probably justbe reading them like because I just lost
count you know, I knew twothousand pounds total was like the gold standard

(01:11:58):
again, and now everyone's totally liketwenty four hundred. So I just have
no clue where people I think thebest ever is twenty six hundred. I
might be your wrong. Okay,We're gonna roll over to part two on
Friday. Yeah, so stay tuned. I got p Yeah. So thanks

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
