Hey, Power Athlete Nation, I want you to strap in for another riveting podcast with Mr. Dane Miller.

Dane is a strength conditioning coach, USA weightlifting, USA track. He's worked with

professional athletes, Olympic athletes in all the last bunch of Olympic games. He is a shot putter

that threw at Penn State, lives in Pennsylvania, the heartbeat of America out there outside

of Reading. And not only that, but is a father,

husband, and a father of twins. And as anybody knows, listen to this podcast, do you know that as a

father of twins, we tend to be kindred spirits? So I'm going to leave you with this caveat. I had

a whole bunch of questions I was planning on asking him. We got to none of them because we were trying to solve the world's problems and I think I spoke

too much. So if you can guess, I probably drank a little too much coffee. So I'm going to caveat

this. So nobody leaves any bad review. Jones talking too much. Just know we were tearing it the

fuck up. So buckle up. Mr. Dane Miller. Random story. I bought a 68 Shelby Mustang GT 500 out of a dude's barn up in that area. And what had happened was the guy in like 1982, it traded that car for a brand new Fierro, which was a hilarious story in itself. The guy gets the car. It's all original. Great. So he and his buddy get a, you know, on a Friday afternoon decide they're going to go down to the local spot and have a few beers coming home as they're going on the jug handle on the turnaround. I guess I just started raiding and there was a little water on the ground. And the guy basically puts the car into the rail, smashes it up, is totally nervous because he's shit-faced, blimps it home, puts it in the garage, puts a cover on it, and doesn't touch it for like 25 years. So my buddy calls me and he goes, hey man, I know where this, because I'm, I've always been into cars and I was never a Ford guy but I always thought

Shelby's were cool so he calls me and he goes hey you got to come get this thing this guy

wants to sell it so he yank it out of his garage for a real cheap price and he's telling

me the story one that he traded it for a Fiera which was hilarious to how he wrecked it and

then the guy collected all these parts and you know they I'm gonna fix fix it up one day. So it's, uh, it's sitting in my shop. I got to put the motor back in it and do some wiring. But, uh, it's, you know, from that, that part of the world. But I remember when we were pulling up, it was like jug handle. I could see the bar. And then we went up and it was like this, you know house with a, with a detached garage and it was just in the middle of farm stuff. And I remember pulling up

thinking like, man, this dude's got a Shelby in here under a tarp in a barn, you know, and just,

you know, Western PA. Like it's, and then as you're driving, you're like wondering, like,

should we knock on everybody's door and see what they have in their barns? Yeah. Everybody has something. Yeah, that's what my buddy does. Dead bodies, cars, trucks. Dude, that's what my buddy does. He, like, drives around on days off, knocks on people's doors, gets to know them. And then as a job, when people pass away, he goes and it cleans out their houses. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. My wife's aunt does that. Oh, yeah. It's crazy. Yeah, he has a rare propensity towards it because he took a shot in the head when he was a kid. So he has no sense of smell. Like, you know, that there's a uh, there's a nerve that goes in your forehead that
