0:00.0	All right guys, we've got a new limited edition drop, the original Mountain Dog tea that John Meadows had us to sign from the very beginning. So it's the first tea that he had made. Once again, this is a limited edition item. So when they're gone, they're gone. While I have your attention, you've seen me wear this one in a few podcasts to date. We've been holding back on it. This here, the four star T, I think that's what we call it. It's on the website, new items, also under limited edition.
0:27.6	Check out our shoulder saver pads. It's an easy way to do limited, restricted range of motion.
0:32.6	Exercises like board press that basically just pop the pad on the bar, reduces the range of motion,
0:39.3	pop it back off when you're done. Thank you guys for the support. Head over to elitefts.com. What? What the shit now! What the shit now!
1:09.0	Fuck shit now! It's time. It's time to sit down. It's time to sit down. It's time to sit down, keep it real, and cut the bullshit.

1:39.2	Been competing for close to two decades.
1:42.8	About 27 years. 27 years. So three decades. About 27 years?
1:45.0	27 years, so three decades, if I actually did the math in like the 2005.
1:50.0	But I'm going to ask when the first meet was because I don't think it's what's listed on open powerlifting.
1:54.0	No, it's not.
1:55.0	The multi-apply, there's all kinds of records.
1:58.0	So all I'm going to say is in the all-time top 10, 275 masters, you're in the top 10 for the 40-44 and 45-49. Yes, sir. As far as multiply overall, it's 59. Is that right? Yep. And then the best lifts of 242 are 970, 650, 720, 275, 10, 25, 680, and 710.
2:18.4	Yes, sir. Married for 27 years. Yes, sir. Three kids. Yes, sir. One of them's already out of the house. Yeah, she's living in Roanoke, Virginia now. And the other one's close. She's out. She's still living in Daytona area, but yeah, she's out living with her boyfriend. then your youngest is 14.
2:34.7	Right.
2:35.1	So you're almost an empty nester, so we're going to have to speak about that. Yeah, I'm not looking forward to that at all.
