Speaker 2:Happy birthday. I feel like I sound older and crankier. I don't know if you sound crankier, it sounds more prestigious. I think is what it is. Tell me more.
Speaker 1:Definitely more prestigious. So what was it like crossing over that proverbial 5-0, man? Oh, man.
Speaker 2:You know, I literally stayed up until midnight of my 49th year.
Speaker 1:That's cool. Just like I'm 49, for one more hour having to be like everything out of it just like just I was just in it to be 49 for as long as I could.
Speaker 2:And then I woke up the next morning to like amazing french toast and fruit and my wife was just like you know. My wife and son just went all out that's so cool awesome and a couple days before that I went to boot camp and they had brought me like a 50 balloons and and they celebrated me there, so it was like kind of a whole week thing and it's a Wednesday.
Speaker 2:We did the whole family thing with a family thing with. Uh. So Wednesday we did the whole family thing with you know going to true lux at night, which is amazing, and just every you know it's cake and ice cream and like yeah, and so all that kind of stuff and then friday yes, friday was, so I had this idea at first I thought, well, what, what if I did like a pub crawl for?
Speaker 2:my birthday, which is definitely up my alley, yeah, which is more of like what you you might think I would do but then I just like I was like you know what I really want to do? I want want to lift big, eat big. So I literally invited friends of mine who I felt like loved the gym, like I do Because you don't want to invite somebody who's kind of awkward in the gym, Like why are they there? So I invited like six friends. We all went over to Lift ATX. Shout out to Lift.
Speaker 1:ATX man, that was a cool spot.
Speaker 2:It was cool. Lift has been. Anything I post when I tag Lyft on it, they will share it. So all those videos and photos that we posted from that event they've been sharing, which is really cool on them.
Speaker 1:But anyway, we meet at Lyft ATX, which is like this fun outdoor gym, real old school in terms of just like the equipment, but it's just awesome, it seems to. I mean it wasn't. I mean from the outside looking in it looked a little intimidating, but actually everybody's super friendly. A lot of shirtless dudes, a lot of shirtless women.
Speaker 2:That was weird, but you know, hard to believe that's actually something you can do in austin.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no, there are no shirtless women. For the wives that are listening, uh, but yeah, yeah, but it's the vibes really cool.
Speaker 2:I think people really enjoy that this place exists and they're just bringing it the high energy they're bringing the good.
Speaker 1:But it seems like it's doing also is like bringing back the old school, like iron mike or, uh, you know, arnold, like the iron crashing iron, kind of a muscle beach meets like yes, exactly exactly yeah, like it's not going to be the the newest equipment, but they've got.
Speaker 2:They got everything you need. They got multiple rooms. There's like a power lifting room where, like squat racks and deadlift and all that kind of stuff, there's outdoor areas and all that kind of stuff. So it's just fun. So we worked out for about an hour and a half. Uh, we all kind of bench pressed and did you know generally upper body stuff?
Speaker 1:yeah and then we finished with some abs and some cool outsides a couple of my guys took their shirts off yeah, uh, you too, man, you're looking good 50 year old looking good baby. Oh, I hope I look like you when I'm 50.
Speaker 2:I appreciate that, and then we went over to Mikkelthwaite Mikkelthwaite.
Speaker 1:What is it?
Speaker 2:It's Mikkelthwaite. That is the name of the.
Speaker 1:Oh, it's like German or something.
Speaker 2:I don't know. It's a barbecue spot and it was like a quarter mile from.
Speaker 1:Lyft.
Speaker 2:ATX, which is exactly what pre-ordered everything I wanted to show up and just food. That was a cool vibe, yeah I just and it was south by so I didn't, I wasn't sure if it was going to be packed or you know, because I went there a week before to kind of scope it out and I just, you know, I didn't want to be thrown off it made it easy, because then we just eat meat.
Speaker 1:None of the guys would be like, oh, what are you gonna? Get it's like it was cool, just show up and eat some meat, have some some beer.
Speaker 2:So that was awesome. It was a really great finish to the birthday week. It was fun, man.
Speaker 1:And Elijah Wood was there.
Speaker 2:Yeah, elijah Wood was there. Frodo, he was there, that was cool.
Speaker 1:It was honestly hard for me not to go over and talk to him. I'm glad you didn't. Why not, I would have been, like it's his 50th birthday. Come on over God. Hey, don't you want to take a picture? What about? You know, I can't think of any Lord of the Rings quotes, but I don't know. I was a fan of him when I was a kid because he was in North. He was in all these like kids movies, you know, I immediately thought of when you said Lord of the Rings quotes.
Speaker 2:I thought you are great. I'm like wait, that's Willow from like 40 years ago.
Speaker 1:You're thinking Val.
Speaker 2:Kilmer yeah, the guy, the little person who talks about Val Kilmer.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, you're great man. That's a great movie.
Speaker 2:I know they came back with a Willow series with the same guy. Oh yeah, that was in his car. I remember seeing that it didn't last very long. You need Val Kilmer. Yeah, you got to, you got to.
Speaker 1:But, yeah, what I loved about it was you took, I mean, there was a six guys all different backgrounds, all different ages. You know, I was I wasn't even the youngest there. That was kind of cool, yeah, and everybody has different backgrounds and and different stories, but everybody is is there for one common purpose and that's to celebrate you. And I did say, as we were walking and I was like this is so, bart, like going into lift atx and lifting up you know, stretch and doing all this, I was was like this is so, bart, like can't we just go get a beer or something? Man, like what, what the hell? But it was really fun, I had a good time, we got our pump arms pumped and you're you know, you're the camp gladiator guy that we all love. You're bringing everybody in together and we're all working and we all have common interests and, um, I think that's really cool. So how do you what?
Speaker 2:do you like about it? You know it was kind of everything I wanted it to be. It's interesting, you know I invited more people, but you know it's Friday afternoon, yeah, like some people couldn't make it out of town or whatever, and it's like, but in the end it was the exact right group. Yeah, that's what I felt, like it was the right people. Yeah people yeah, um. And then you, you know you had to go to the airport pick up your friend.
Speaker 1:You brought him back to the barbecue shout out jesse, yeah, jesse, because he listens, so he knew you. He's like dude, a lot bigger than I thought it was gonna be for you, brother, yeah he was cool.
Speaker 2:So, uh, I'm just good, good to know that you know jesse's one of our loyal listeners too yeah, love that guy.
Speaker 1:Uh, so during the during our time at lift atx, yeah, I wanted to see how much I could deadlift, oh goodness. And so I just ask you how much? You know how many plates? What plates do I need to get 400?
Speaker 2:because I haven't done 400 in the bar.
Speaker 1:Let's go 400 and there was a lot of pressure. I'm gonna be honest, I didn't realize everybody was watching. Yeah, uh, and I did what I normally do, which is I keep my shoulders rolled. Yeah, and I feel like it was good, rep, but you showed me the video and my shoulders were in, even though I'd had it full on.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it was a lot harder than I thought it was going to be. I'm going to be honest. Well, the hardest part of any lift is getting off the floor.
Speaker 1:Oh really.
Speaker 2:So yeah, that was easy. Once you get would have got no rep that was. That was the fourth time I've ever done that right so so, but I think it was just a statement that, like you, could go cold no warm-ups on deadlift and just put some rinkety belt on.
Speaker 1:That didn't probably do, oh it was like a kid's belt, yeah, and then just grab off the floor 400 pounds.
Speaker 2:I was like, yep, there's, that's you were you impressed, was impressed. Yeah, because here's the thing it's like you know how Shane Gillis talks about. He sees a guy he's a high school football coach. He sees a young kid he's like that guy's got potential right.
Speaker 1:I'm like if you can do 400 without any technique man, put yourself through two months of technique training.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's what I need, to't hurt yourself and then have an actual technique when you walk into the uh, the powerlifting show. You're going to be incredible. You're going to be, you're going to be pulling 500? Well, that'd be pretty cool, because that's the thing it's like.
Speaker 2:Your 400 to 500 is probably just technique really, yeah, at least you think it's that difference, yeah, so because you didn't warm up, you weren't really probably supported you were, you were just in random shoes, like yeah there's just, I mean, you didn't even have your hands crisscrossed, yeah, you just pulled straight like so there's, I mean, all those things are gonna add 10 pounds, 10 pounds, 10 pounds, cool right well, here's what I think I'm gonna do, and I've thought a lot about this because this is my priority.
Speaker 1:Like after doing that, I was like okay, I got to get serious. I think I'm going to join Los Campeones. We're going to work out more, let's go. I think I'm going to do it.
Speaker 2:I'm like I'm there. I mean, you know, I'm doing my thing four days a week.
Speaker 1:Once a week. Usually Darren joins me like that it's an awesome place and it's yeah, let's do it. I need the technique, I need I need the consistency. I need a coach, um, because I don't. I I mean, it would be cool to say I didn't train at all and go and like win some medals or something like running a marathon with that training, which I don't do, which I don't do. That's I. I think that's disrespectful. So I'm not going to disrespect the powerlifting community. Um, but that was cool, man, man, it was fun.
Speaker 2:Shout out to Kodiak Strength, which is the place we went to visit.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:They are starting a kids' strength class. Oh really, Monday, Wednesday, Friday evening and Saturday mornings and it's like 10 to 15-year-olds and it's really like the introduction of strength training. That's cool and stuff like that for that kind of prepubescent male-female kid who wants to learn how to just do basic stuff That'd be cool.
Speaker 1:My son would be into that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and I was hoping that Jack might be. He's got some scheduling issues with that, but it's something that I think would be awesome to do. So I love that those types of things are starting to show up a little bit more.
Speaker 1:Well, all of that age group that was the meathead all about athletes. I have kids and they're like oh we want our kids to do stuff. So I mean they're all a lot older than me, because the wives tale.
Speaker 2:Look like if you lift before puberty, your stunt, your growth is all fake, is this?
Speaker 1:is it really because I did lift at? No, I started lifting at nine.
Speaker 2:You're taller than your brother and he sure didn't lift at nine. We know that. Oh easy, my brother's busy reading my odyssey, my reading the Odyssey.
Speaker 1:My brother ran a half marathon in under two hours the other day. Really, he freaking rocks it. That's awesome.
Speaker 2:He's a pretty accomplished runner. No, I'm sure he's probably really good. You know what he's really good at, what's that he's a great wakeboarder. Okay.
Speaker 1:He's been put in the work. We've always skied growing up. He learned at 42, is he now? He learned how to snowboard and he's like dude, snowboarding is way easier. I was like at 42, bro, what are you doing? But yeah, he looks pretty freaking cool.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no, that's great. My point on the whole like lifting before you're the idea is that like there's too much pressure on the joints and like the, the growth plates, and it messes them up, yeah, but they just took physics and they said, well, if somebody jumps and plays a sport, yeah, the amount of pressure they're putting on their growth, growth growth prints. Just landing, yeah, decelerating from like a jump or a sprint or like a change of direction in soccer, is so much more than like putting a 30 pound weight on your underneath you and squatting or yeah, like I mean, obviously we're not going to put a 10 year old in like a, like a one rep max on a deadlift, yeah, but other than just like you know, there is nothing that strength training does that is even close to the like, the difficulty and the impact on the body that like jumping and running and bear crawls and all that stuff.
Speaker 2:It's just so much, and so kids do that all the time yeah, they're fine right, that's the point. Now you don't want to be stupid, but your kid can basically, you know, do basic movements, learn technique, learn to develop a strong foundation of like movement and stability and that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1:That's cool, so I love that. Yeah, that's something we. I want to work on speed with my son too, cause he's playing soccer, but the strength piece is huge.
Speaker 2:He wants to, yeah, so I mean it's Monday, Wednesday, Friday, five and 6 PM there and then Saturday at 10 am. That's cool, so shout out to Kodiak Strength, kodiak Strength, let's go.
Speaker 1:That's close to you. No free shout outs. Yeah, they better pay up.
Speaker 2:Hurry up, guys. Anyway, yeah, so I mean I'm 50 now, so what's the next decade look like for you? Yeah, you know, I think it's. So. One of the things I came up with right around my birthday was one goal I've already talked to at Nauseam, about which is the powerlifting and getting 1,000 pounds total between bench.
Speaker 1:You're there, though. Right, I'm pretty close.
Speaker 2:I've never done all three in one day, but if you added up what I've done in the past, it's about 970. So you put the competition energy and all that kind of stuff, it's very possible. But the other thing is I want to sing the national anthem at UT sporting events. Yeah, so I am reaching out to UT Athletics to try to figure out how to audition or send in a video or something like that, because, for those of you who don't know, I have a music degree vocal performance from Kansas City.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you have beautiful voice. You'd be awesome.
Speaker 2:And mainly the training is like operatic technique, and so, although I don't sing opera right now, I still have enough technique where I could throw down some Star Spangled Banner with some baritone qualities.
Speaker 1:Do you care about the? I mean, there's so many games. Well, that's the thing you could do. Any of those.
Speaker 2:See, back in college when I was a music major, I would, I figured out, I love to do it because it's like kind of a fun thing to do.
Speaker 1:It's like you know, and yeah, I just I think we gotta reassess what fun is.
Speaker 2:Well, yeah, for me right you get on a list and then they like I remember I did like a softball game, a, a women's volleyball game, a basketball game they would just invite you to things and if people like you, then you kind of get moved up in higher tiers. And so what I imagine is at UT is they probably have, first of all, they probably have a list of the students.
Speaker 1:Former UT grads or no?
Speaker 2:current UT students who are vocal performance majors or whatever that they probably give priority to. But you know, I mean there's probably also like a secondary list of like local people.
Speaker 1:That'd be cool.
Speaker 2:They can like they've heard a video and they can call upon it.
Speaker 1:And then they have the celebrities too, the ones that are local.
Speaker 2:Hey, here's what I think Podcast hosts this is what I think we need to.
Speaker 1:Let's take this goal to the next level. All right, let's go. You get on the list. Okay, you start with women's tennis. Yeah Right.
Speaker 2:Or obviously badminton, yeah, just anything, and you work your way up.
Speaker 1:We got a whole decade here.
Speaker 2:To do this. I want this year.
Speaker 1:Okay, this year we'll get you the national anthem. Okay, that's easy.
Speaker 2:So yeah, my goal is to do it at any UT sporting event. Great, my boy, kevin, who's a big donor, he goes to Baylor, he went to Baylor. You want to do it at Baylor now. Well, no. He has so many connections over there in Baylor.
Speaker 1:The moment I mentioned it to him, he's like oh my God, you can do that at Baylor. I'll, I'll, connect you.
Speaker 2:Dude, that'd be a cool start All Texas schools, let's do it, let's do it. But I figured you know like, hey, I'm all about the reps, yeah. So you know if, if it's harder to get into the UT, like, get on that list, I'll go. You know, see, do like an ACC, we've got to have a connection to UT somewhere, man Well.
Speaker 2:I mean so I trained a lot of former UT alumni, but I think Nate Boyer is probably somebody who you know not that he's going to know who to talk to, but like he would know who organizes those things. Right now. I'm literally just calling different departments at UT going like who do I talk to?
Speaker 2:and leaving messages and hoping they call me back at some point. I'll find the right person, yeah, but they? I looked online and they said there's a link to like send in an audition video, but I cannot find that link. You know, it's like chat. The, the ai of google tells me there's a link yeah but then you can't find the link I got you Anyway.
Speaker 1:Well, I think that's a great 2025 goal.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:But I think by the time you're 60, we've got to get you in front of that UT football game. Oh yeah, what if we got Red River Classic style? That would be the decade goal. Yeah, yeah, we get you famous enough because we got to also find that route too, because you're going to have to have a little bit of background.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so we got to get you, I got to build the resume back up.
Speaker 1:Power lifting champion Right? Bart Bryant yeah, would you go by Barton though? Barton Guy Bryant. Barton Guy Bryant yeah, yeah, wait, is your middle name, guy. Yeah, that makes so much more sense. I thought it was just like Barton guy. Martin guy, it's like yeah, like my man Mitch, you know dude, that's cool. No, I think that's a great goal. What, what other things you know? Family life, anything?
Speaker 2:like that. Yeah, my wife like focus effort on on. You know my son is really. He's very driven, very motivated to like be successful at school uh, sports, karate, piano, all that kind of stuff. So, you know, aside from just like the normal, like trying to like remind the kid to do the homework, or the kid to practice, like no problem in like motivating him to be to care about these things.
Speaker 2:What we're finding that he'll he doesn't care as much about is just like building relationships in the process and like and I think he's he defaults to just like not saying anything. Yeah, uh, if he doesn't know what to say or if he's not involved in the conversation, and so we're just we're trying to work with him on just like hey, let's, we're going to spend the next month focused on your, you know, just engaging with the people that you're in these activities with. So he's at basketball practice. Instead of talking to him about, hey, let's work on your post moves and let's talk about things you can do on the court, we're going to say, hey, let's really put a focus today on just saying hi to kids.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's cool Asking how their weekend's going. The social- side.
Speaker 2:Did they see the Laker game or whatever some topic that gets something going, because we probably care more than him about it at this point and I know some of it's like he's got his friends and he doesn't really care. But I think some of it's also just social anxiety that he just doesn't know how to overcome.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's cool.
Speaker 2:So that's a current goal of ours.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's kind of a, that's a that's.
Speaker 2:A current goal of ours is we're kind of assessing our kids like strengths and weaknesses and trying to, like you know, instead of just like making an afterthought why didn't you talk to? Jerry, when you were standing next to him Like we're like trying to be proactive about it and make it like the thing.
Speaker 1:What's so funny is my kids are so. Our kids are so different. My daughter plays lacrosse now and she was. She was playing goalie, now she's. She was playing defense this last game and you know you can tell the coach said don't you know this is the person you guard, cause she wouldn't leave this person that she was guarding and we were joking about it. Like I bet Fiona knows her name, I bet they're friends. Now you know this girl. I'm just like, yeah, her name was Violet and it was violet. Like of course, she did the most social girl ever. Oh so, um, I love that so I think that's such a different.
Speaker 2:I mean not that, not that your, your son's like, like jack, but I think I think just women and women are boys and girls it's just like you know, there's like there's a socialization awareness that girls tend to have so much earlier, yeah, than boys and it's an interesting time because, like, the girls are all interested. An interesting time because the girls are all interested. The fifth grade girls are all interested in boys generally and just the socialization of like who do you like?
Speaker 2:And all that gossip and stuff and half of the boys are just completely unaware of it or just like not it's just not in their world. And it's just a funny time.
Speaker 1:Because I remember fifth grade kind.
Speaker 2:Of coming out of my shell a little bit, it was probably the end of fifth grade and more, really more sixth grade. Yeah, um, but yeah, I'm just kind of waiting for jack to like say something or like catch him looking at a girl. Yeah you know, like I just right now he's just like eye rolls. Anytime I've been is there any girls that are nice in school?
Speaker 1:well, my goal for you for this next decade is for you to beat you in arm, wrestling boom my goal is for you to love the lord yep you got nine, nine and a half nine years.
Speaker 2:Nine years maybe my goal is for bart to be in heaven in eternity with me and Jesus so I spent two years in the Peace Corps, right, yeah, and I'm in Islamic Republic, yeah, and every that won't get you there every day. Every single person in my family and I'll miss the street said I. Just I worry about you, bart, I want you to go to heaven.
Speaker 1:Have you considered?
Speaker 2:becoming a good Muslim.
Speaker 1:Have you considered strapping this bomb to your chest?
Speaker 2:That is not a good Muslim. Don't confuse the two. And it was offering me their daughter. You should marry my daughter and there's a dowry involved, really. How much was the dowry Dude I got to know is a whole episode and stuff like that. But it's like you know, they don't have much.
Speaker 1:Let's a couple bags of yeah, but you guys would be living high on the hog though, but it's just, it's so.
Speaker 2:I think I got you know, and this is not an explanation, explanation for why, um, I uh, you know I am not feeling the way you want me to feel, but I think it's an incredible compliment to be asked to believe yeah, so people care you that much. Because you're worried about my soul. Yeah, I mean the cool thing about.
Speaker 1:I always appreciate you because you know where I stand, but I think, yeah, it's, the desire of of my heart is to see my friends in eternity. Right, I'm not God, I don't ever say that, so I can't decide whether you are there or not, right? But as far as, as far as loving the Lord and loving Jesus, I think that's a big one that I'm like. I think that's easy, I think you'll get there. I think you'll be like. You know what I, I, I think all this. You remember Matt Freeman. I thought you were close when you were hanging out with Matt. It was close. Anyway, all that to say I love you. Man. Happy 50th birthday. I think you're a great man, you're a great father, you're a great friend and you're a great friend and you're special and you have all those amazing attributes and I'm thankful that you're in my life.
Speaker 2:I love you, buddy, I love you too. Yeah, it was really great having you at my party.
Speaker 1:I love that you consider me one of those people so it means a lot.
Speaker 2:You're in the short list.
Speaker 1:Yes, yes, and you'll be on my short list in heaven. I'll add your name. You're crazy like me, which is really what it's about, isn't?
Speaker 2:it just about finding the people that are just crazy like you like in that way.
Speaker 1:We all are a little odd and we find each other for some reason. It's weird, but this next year is going to be huge and we're going to see a lot of cool things happen Definitely. Including me singing the National Anthem at a badminton game oh dude, I can't wait and then maybe a softball game, and then you'll upgrade, and then I'll be like basketball.
Speaker 1:Oh, dude, that would be a big one, that would be a big one. Yeah, you know, I want you to do the National Anthem, where you get your own jersey. You know what's harder?
Speaker 2:is outdoor singing the National Anthem at outdoor events, because you really can't hear yourself or it's bouncing back at you from the speakers across.
Speaker 1:That's got to be tough.
Speaker 2:And so you're like oh, say, and you're like oh, and you're hearing it kind of a half second later, yeah, and then you have to kind of tune that out.
Speaker 1:Can you tune it out?
Speaker 2:That seems impossible, it's very challenging, and then you don't, you know, but then also you just can't get in your head and start listening for pitch and all that kind of stuff. You just have to believe, trust.
Speaker 1:Believe that you're there. Believe that you're there. The Lord has given me a voice. I believe it.
Speaker 2:I believe it baby Indoor is a lot easier because it's like the acoustics are there. It's kind of like singing in the bathroom. You get a little bit extra resonance that you can hear as you sing. You feel a little more relaxed because of that, that's.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I love it. I love it. Well, thanks for listening to dad bods and dumbbells. We're so great you listen, like and subscribe.

Speaker 2:We give people samorlin, which is a peptide that helps release more natural growth hormone. Let's go it helps the pituitary gland release growth hormone.

Obviously, hormones are an issue, but growth hormone is the one that's released. That really helps us build muscle and keep that kind of strong size.
Speaker 1:That's cool.
Speaker 2:You see, somebody who's in their 60s and 70s is real frail. They just don't have any more of that male strength. That's there. And some of that's testosterone and some of that's growth hormone. So TRT is obviously something that people talk a lot about, but some uh, some Orlin and, and there's a couple others that kind of do a similar type thing. But they're starting to come back and it's probably an RFK effect, let's be honest.
Speaker 1:People are not so worried about the FDA like coming back at them, so I love it. Well, thanks for listening guys. Uh, we love you.
