 Like the old-school cats will say tennis shoe. Yeah tennis shoe, but it's not a night. Nobody play yeah Both of them out I've blown out an air bubble That we could you can wear keds for what I mean call studies have been showing lately that the size of your nose Yeah, more closely related to the size of your something what happened with you Ladies gentlemen talk about where the gossip was Dean Sidor's cabinet kilos Jimmy D3sb.co and the fastest fingies in the West Kayi True watch out ladies fair household name Also fingers household is there any is there any gamers that are household names ninja? Maybe no no one knows didn't jazz up there if anybody has toys. Yeah, that's yeah He's in Walmart by his head Walmart you go you can get an action figure of them. Yeah, that's The fingers move So we're talking footwear we're talking accessories and I feel like Powerlifting at least edge the era that I joined there's you just wore converse Everyone's wearing converse because it's the flattest shoe out there Maybe maybe some vans maybe but even still I don't even know if they're rocking them Yeah, I don't think they had a verse for sure They weren't they're wearing some fucking Caterpillar boots when they bench and then they're rocking fucking converse shoes for everything else where now There's what maybe five companies that specifically make Powerlifting shoes let alone the big names Nike adidas or whatever that throw into the weightlifting world I don't know what the exact question is but why is weightlifting that popular that Nike has to make six models How many shoes are they selling versus anything? Yeah, there's like one staple one Yeah, but they yeah model one two three, but like versus a Kyrie Irving How many LeBron James shoes did they sell versus how many weight lifters did they sell and then maybe what's Your favorite shoe and what do you like to lift in? Man, whoa, it depends on what we're talking about here Throw it out there, dude Sneakerhead if I'm like if I'm hitting like a regular gym at work out of the gym I'm probably gonna want something pretty universal right like a Metcon like that's really hard to beat the Metcon man It's a wild concept really the Metcon is really Turned into this like not just a CrossFit shoe or kind of originated It's turned into like the global gym staple shoe now You see dads walking around with Metcons that just go to 24th twice a month You know what I mean like because ten years ago what would be labeled as a trainer probably had air bubbles in the back Oh, the bow jacks like those are fucking six shoes They're super high in the back So you're not really stable like where the Metcon has turned into this shoe where like you're always flat It's got flexibility. It's light You can you can get you can run in it if you want to like it's not the best running shoe Yeah, it kind of does it all where you can have that flat bottom sole and like run and even just the what training looks like You think of like Instagram wasn't a thing in 2004 But if you think about 2004 what a Fitzboe might be doing they're probably doing like ladder drills and like suicide sprints only and then now you think of Fitzboe and regardless gender goal whatever they're squatting and deadlifting kind of like it's really popular to see squats and deadlifts on I remember I remember Hashtagging deadlift on my post in like 2012 and I was the number one post on all of Instagram You know what I mean? We're like now. There's probably 30 million This is a good thing more deadlifting. No, no, it's for sure Yeah, but the business represents that right like you're not wearing the bow Jacksons or the Ken Griffey's anymore To work out. No, no, you're wearing like a performance base Or like what are you doing that day if you're doing some poles? You're gonna work you can get away if you're not doing any kind of cardio or anything else You're just doing like some accessory work and some pulling and some pushing you're probably gonna have on as a flat Yeah, or something like that. Yeah, or if you're kind of like spicing it up You're doing some metabolic condition you're kind of bouncing around doing other things You want you you can run and pull in we're not gonna be like on your toes or something. It's more specific in general We're in the era where like a functional Gym shoe is like a thing now. Yeah, where I was never the case. No, they're called trainers But they're turf shoes really well trainers were just yeah, they weren't actually good for training Well, I like in the UK trainers are just any tennis shoes So yeah, yeah, same here though, right like the old-school cats will say tennis shoe. Yeah tennis shoe But it's not a nobody playing yeah, like yeah, like like I was trying to remember like what the fuck did we wear? Like a flat shoe or or a tennis shoe, you know, whatever Rock like an Adidas tennis shoe. Yeah, and they were those are knock off Adidas like incredibly bright blue with the white stripes And you know that kind of stuff. Yeah, I probably wore those in high school Well, now you're saying these like these bodybuilding brand shoes that are basically just like wrestling and boxing shoes that they've reformatted to be like These like ultimate bodybuilding shoe and they're absurd looking but they're what's the story with those? What's weird with that is that bodybuilding at least on the highest level even then the mid-tier level is it's kind of split into two camps like People that really love the barbell and have powerlifting as a base They do cut some kind of deadlift squatty type thing But bodybuildings are gold and then some that are very anti that and only really rock machines yet a Wrestling boxing shoe is great for the barbell stuff, but you're gonna rock it You can't run in that no for sure cardio in that But you're gonna rock a powerlifting-esque shoe Which is like a wrestling boxing shoe clear yourself a bodybuilder and then you're only gonna do leg extensions Like what why do you need a special shoe to do leg extension? So I had a buddy right He was a little more on the tubby side, right? You remember those air max is telling you a story about me But he didn't there's there's you remember the air max as they came out Maybe like 2015 ish. I don't even know but there was like a bunch of bubbles on them Yeah, got the back like three or four of them Yeah, it's like blue both of them out blue. I've blown out an air bubble. No you haven't yeah You play a lot of basketball air bubbles by the bus Well now I'm seeing Now you'll see like those like those Nike 270s wherever they're called the ones I have a huge air bubble Yeah, you know like yeah pretty standard Yep turned you like a standard Nike shoe now like they sell them to everybody everybody's mom It's called a cross trainer I believe if you would want to categorize it that would be such a terrible shoe to do any kind of training in yeah Maybe some ladder drill even that because of the instability like that's our ankle rolling shoe if I've ever seen I think it's also not good for your knees. I think that all those all those shoes that sort of push your heel up Yeah, you're not just to run around. Well, it's a way lifting platform shoe, but just full with air Yeah, everything has evolved the like two inch heel. What do you put 500 pounds of your back? Yeah, yeah, we didn't know that we could you can wear Keds for everything Yeah, I don't know if it's if it's a science-based move or not But even like I had like the Kobe through I wore a lot of Kobe's to actually play in And I had like the Kobe threes or fours when they started to get low top and they're actually pretty solid and kind of flat The Metcon is a basically a Kobe Yeah, and those really is the same shoe you compare that to the 90s You look at like some Charles Barclays and stuff that they're more like what Kyle's talking about There's air bubbles left and right and I played basketball just fine I never got injured never heard or anything But you do wonder if there's real science going on at Nike or if it's just a common trend You look at like the you look at the curry low tops, you know, it's a very basic Yeah style low top shoe those underarmors. It's like I don't all that other mumbo jumbo is all marketing and even the ankle support is Kobe rock low tops because we want to be light and fast and then he twists his ankle or ripped his Achilles And then they started making high tops who the ankle support that ankle support a shoes kind of dog shit It's like not really it's not really a thing You'll feel it but it's not it's not if you're playing a contact sport It's not stopping an ankle sprain. Yeah, you need to wear actual like ankle wraps. Yeah Yeah, it's like a separate and even that like if the worst thing happens, you're gonna bust your ankle Yeah, I My complaint is that I've got really wide-ass feet and just finding shoes is the worst thing ever and Like I have to wear a new balance because I can't fit anything else unless I'm willing to wear shoe that is at least a size too big and I've short feet and so they curl up in the end and I've clown shoes I'm just not willing to do that. Even that I feel has changed when I was a kid kid I couldn't wear Nike's at all. I literally couldn't wear Nike's and then in high school I could wear some Nike's so how does it happen that America is so fucking fat and but they think that we have skinny feet Maybe they do maybe fat people. I don't think there's a new feet. That's what I don't know what the the role Is I have gone up a size and shoe by a half by how fat I am Or at least it feels when it feels that way I know but like when did when did this change when I'm like when I'm like to when I'm like 220 to 230 I feel like I'm like a solid 11 and then when I lose a bunch of weight I do feel like I could fit a 10. It's genetic I also learned on tiktok totally side note But you talk about feet and size, you know, and I just need to throw a one on the scoreboard for me You know what I mean Kyle studies have been showing lately that the size of your nose Oh, yeah more closely related to the size of your yeah, what happened with you? I got big foot big old nose tiny cock I break science so flashing back to an earlier episode here when Kyle was in When you were in the hallway talking to Kyle in your room. Yeah, how big was his nose? His nose was gigantic He looked like fucking like an elephant elephant Kevlar Kevlar cock. Yeah. Yeah Yeah, that was a full range And then you got this thing now where the shoes in the bodybuilding Instagram world have become like a status That's a whole nother topic. We were going into yeah, like flexing your Jordans are like working out I'm gonna work out in these two thousand dollar pair of Jordans for this YouTube people working on off whites And they just got into sneakers and just got rich It looks to me money move it looks to me that you grew up absolutely broke Even though I don't think these people did either and then you just came apart and you're so self-conscious You got a flexer. I love sneakers and I love representing myself and styling my sneakers with my outfit But I never flexed I buy you sneakers a lot actually I'm not gonna I'm not gonna flex that everyone knows these shoes are worth 700 and so I'm throwing them Yeah, I'm gonna flex them because I think they look sick with my outfit and I used to play basketball with them in 2004 and so it has like a Nostalgia that could mean any yeah, it's like oh congrats. You worked a week or so or whatever and save your money. You're poor You're poor. Yeah, you you live in a shack Oh, you did that with like four different clothings. Okay, so it took you a couple more weeks Yeah, poor financially. Yeah, it's like with them choices. Why don't people wear like tap dancing shoes for like deadlifting? Why are they why they have to buy these like very specific special little socks? Or why do you you again you focus on the micro and like people talk shit on converse now like converse I ain't getting the job done like this is 800 pound deadlifts have been ripped up for decades on converse Like you don't need this fancy Then you got people trying to reinvent the converse Yeah converse with some dancing shoes. I'm telling you no those don't work because they had all in the front You would slide in there in the toe. Yeah, how do you tap so what your toes? Yeah, because there's metal there They're just like dress shoes though. Yeah Ballet shoes So for all the weirdos out there I went to a weird art school my whole life and the philosopher that made the school I made also created an interpretive dance called your Rhythmie which is very unique to what we do and there's also even like a bladder infection We go on and even beyond that there's a shoe made for what we do and it would actually be the most perfect lifting shoe And actually like a deadlifts and the teacher owns the patent and sells them to everybody. Oh, probably They're in Euro sizing. That's how I learned Euro sizing and shoes because the schools from Europe But those would actually be perfect for that lifting. How many shoes should you need in the gym? If you're a serious power lifter One to two max. Okay. Yeah, I think what about my hip thrust shoes, right? You need a hip thrust shoe Yeah, you do need hip. Yeah, that's when you throw the I just go socks and then because I know you need everybody's attention. We're hip I'm just gonna start only wearing the jump shoes the nothing else. Yeah, what are those called? Jumpsoul I think I think it's a big like the iron on the front like the ironing board on the front. Yeah, it was a perfect Yeah, no heel. Yeah, it kind of looks like a snowshoe for some weird reason, you know Yeah, well, it's like a yeah It looks like a like a some kind of like ironing and iron is good on the front. Yeah, it's like V-shaped I've never actually had those they're too expensive my parents wouldn't buy them for me I had a buddy that like my buddy's older brother would always like he'd have those like I remember They'd always been the pile in the garage pile of shoes And calves calves are a great like accessory to help you with your vertical jump but your movers are in your glutes and quad So like how did that company probably make millions? Convincing the entire world all you need was calves to dunk
