Then the conversation shifts into training—breaking down whether music actually helps you lift more, why most people overcomplicate their workouts, and how to train smarter when life gets busy.The guys also react to Stagecoach, call out what feels fake in modern country music, and debate what actually makes someone “real” in that world.Military humor, lifting philosophy, and unfiltered takes—all in one episode.

Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.On today's podcast:1) The man accused of storming the White House Correspondents’ Dinner spent years quietly acquiring his arsenal, purchasing a shotgun from a Torrance, California, firearms dealer eight months before the attack and a semi-automatic pistol two years earlier, according to a law enforcement intelligence profile reviewed by Bloomberg. Cole Tomas Allen, 31, bought a Maverick 12-gauge pump-action shotgun from Turner’s Outdoorsman in Torrance in August 2025 and an Armscor semi-automatic pistol from CAP Tactical Firearms in Lawndale in October 2023, the profile shows.2) Oil rose after efforts to resume peace talks over the Iran war stalled, leaving the Strait of Hormuz almost impassable and prolonging the supply disruption that has roiled global markets. Brent climbed as much as 3% to $108.50 a barrel and West Texas Intermediate advanced toward $97, before giving up some gains after Axios reported Tehran offered the US a fresh proposal to open the strait. Over the weekend, President Donald Trump canceled a planned trip by his top envoys to Pakistan, which is mediating talks, while Iran said it won’t negotiate if it’s being threatened.3) To say the special relationship is going through a rough patch ahead of King Charles III’s visit would be an exercise in British understatement. The 77-year-old monarch will arrive in Washington on Monday with ties between the UK and the US at their lowest point since the Suez Crisis in the 1950s. While President Donald Trump often praises Charles as a “fantastic man,” he’s been heaping scorn on the country’s elected prime minister, mocking Keir Starmer as weak and unreliable for refusing to join America’s initial strikes on IranSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, we delve into the extraordinary experiences of Matt from Oregon, an outdoorsman whose years in the forests, rivers, and mountains of the Pacific Northwest have placed him face to face with something he never expected. From the coastal mountains near Seaside to the shadowed stretches of Lolo Pass and the Columbia River Gorge, Matt shares a series of encounters that have unfolded over more than a decade.What began with explosive wood knocks in a remote canyon while salmon fishing soon expanded into glowing eye shine along the Sandy River, massive tree breaks deep off logging roads, and unnerving activity near his campsites. As time went on, the encounters intensified — figures approaching his camp in the middle of the night, towering shapes stepping into view, and moments so close they left a lasting imprint on his life.Matt also opens up about the deeper questions these experiences raised for him — the patterns he began noticing, the locations that seemed especially active, and the personal journey that ran parallel to his time in the woods. His story spans Mount Hood National Forest, Welch's, Skamania County, and the rugged coastline of Oregon, painting a vivid picture of ongoing Sasquatch activity across some of the most storied regions in the Northwest.Join us as we explore Matt's gripping encounters and the mystery that continues to follow him through Oregon's wild places.

Episode 99 of The Okay Podcast dives into the strange, hilarious, and oddly technical world of garage gyms, strength culture, and internet fitness communities. The crew discusses the rise of Gym Radar, a new platform where lifters can show off their home gyms, track equipment, and discover new setups. They also tackle a common problem many home gym owners face: how to fix a sloped garage floor so your squat rack is level. Along the way, the conversation veers into coffee brewing techniques, the NFL Combine bench press debate, and the chaos of running a podcast with no real plan. If you love strength training, garage gyms, and unfiltered gym talk, this episode is packed with insight and entertainment.Podcast Hosts:Grant Broggi: Marine Veteran, Owner of The Strength Co. and Starting Strength Coach.Jeff Buege: Marine Veteran, Outdoorsman, Football Fan and LifterTres Gottlich: Marine Veteran, Texan, Fisherman, Crazy College Football Fan and LifterJoin the Slack and Use code OKAY:https://buy.stripe.com/dR6dT4aDcfuBdyw5ksCheck out BW Tax: https://www.bwtaxllc.comBUY A FOOTBALL HELMET:⁠https://www.thestrength.co/mrhelmet/?utm_source=The+Okay+Podcast&utm_medium=Podcast&utm_campaign=Okay_PodTimestamps:00:00 - Intro04:32 - Staff Brief19:50 - Brikka Technique30:37 - Gym Radar39:18 - Leveling A Garage Gym Floor50:22 - NFL Combine55:59 - World Baseball Classic01:03:37 - Johnny Blue Skies01:08:03 - Overhead Bin Etiquette01:18:08 - Taco Meat

Born and raised in southeastern Wisconsin, Chad Stillman was introduced to sports and the outdoors at a young age.  Growing up, if you couldn't find him on the soccer or football field, chances are he was in the woods or on the water. Those two passions would lead to a stint as a semi-pro kicker for the Racine Raiders and a cameraman for Bowhunting.com. By 22 years old, he was fresh out a college, a homeowner and embarking on his lifelong dream of working in law enforcement. Quickly moving up in the ranks, he received a promotion to the SWAT Team and ultimately settled in as an FBI Task Force Investigator. To warn our audience, this isn't an easy conversation to listen to as Chad takes us on the emotional journey of his story.
