I intended to have longer to record this episode than I do, but now I don’t have longer to record this episode than I do because I have just this amount of time, so we’re going to go quick.

I hope you’re ready to listen fast because I’m ready to talk fast.

Anyway, I’ve been doing these workouts, as I’ve mentioned.

I’m down 20 pounds today.

Good job, me.

And as part of the workout process, you know, I’ve been working on my weight strength training.

That’s three days a week.

And I had bought an adjustable set that I then recommended to my pal Brian, and Brian got it too, and he didn’t like it that much.

I like it just fine.

It’s just, although it’s adjustable, it’s not super adjustable.

It’s like minimally adjustable.

Because you can adjust it, but it’s annoying to adjust.

You wouldn’t want to adjust it all the time.

You got to unscrew a thing and then screw another thing in and then whatever.

It’s a pain.

And so I had seen various things, various adjustable weights.

Bowflex makes one.

Bowflex charges hundreds and hundreds of dollars.

And I’ve seen some used ones available online, but I didn’t buy any of those.

And then I found some company that was selling, that was advertising me on Instagram.

It was like a hundred something dollars to get two that went up to 100 pounds.

And that’s really amazing to get these adjustable weights where you just kind of twist them and you can get different weights and you lift up the barbell.

And, you know, it takes seconds to change.

And I ordered it.

It was from a company in Spain.

And they sent me a shipping confirmation with a shipping button that didn’t do anything.

So I wrote to them saying, hey, this shipping button doesn’t do anything.

They’re like, yes, when it ships, we’ll send you another email.

I’m like, well, you sent me an email.

It said it shipped.

This shipping button doesn’t do anything.

They’re like, oh, our mistake.

Yeah, we had a bug.

Try the shipping button again.

I’m like, no, it’s the same email.

The email didn’t magically change.

The shipping button has no href.

I didn’t get into that whole video, but the shipping button had no link on it.

Like it had an a tag with no href.

And I’m like, can you resend me the shipping email?

They’re like, yes, we’ll do that.

And they didn’t do that.

And I said, okay, I’m going to charge this back to you if I don’t get a shipping tracking confirmation in the next 24 hours.

And they said, yeah, we’ve had a problem with yours.

We’re going to ship it again.

I can refund you if you like.

I’m like, no, I want it.

So go ahead and ship it.

And they still didn’t do it.

So I sold them.

I want the refund.

And if I don’t have the refund, I’m going to be charging it back, which is my plan.

I’m going to be charging it back tomorrow.

It’s on my list for tomorrow.

Uh, good stuff.

A scammy Instagram advertiser.

My favorite.

But meanwhile, my pal Brian had found a comparable, uh, adjustable weights.

The same kind of thing where you twist the barbell and can change how much weight it has, uh, on Timu.

And I don’t like Timu, but I like cheap weights that’ll help me get the job done.

So I ordered those at the same time as Brian did.

He paid like $8 less than I did, but we’re not going to think about it.

Anyway, I ordered those and they arrived today in this giant, nearly a hundred pound box.

And I was thinking I should unbox this outside versus take the whole box in, but I didn’t.

I just scooped up a hundred pound box.

I lifted with the legs.

Don’t worry.

Brought it inside.

Then I unboxed it inside before I took it down to the basement.

I would like to put it in a part of the basement where Lauren does some of her workouts.

Uh, but I can’t because the ceiling is too low there.

Uh, and that doesn’t work for me.

Uh, because I will bash a hole in the ceiling when I do, uh, you know, certain exercises, shoulder presses, I guess.

Uh, so I have to put it in the gym where the ceiling is higher.

Uh, but they’re cool.

Just man, so heavy.

And then Liam was like, I want to check him out.

So I took Liam downstairs so we could check him out.

And I put it on 55 pounds and he tried really hard to lift it up and couldn’t.

And I gave him all really lightweight, like 11 pounds and he could do that.

And he’s like, I want to try 55 again.

So I tried to like, don’t hurt yourself.

And he tries and he’s like, let me give two hands and they listen up.

And he’s like, okay, can you take it from me?

Just put it down.

It’s like, I can’t put it down.

So I had to like scoop it from him and put it down.

It was fine.

Then I showed off with how easy it was for me to manipulate the 55 pound weight.

Uh, anyway, good times.

Anyway, thanks to Brian and Timu.

Uh, and no thanks to the Spanish company who advertises all over the internet, as far as I can tell.

Uh, and maybe sometimes ships their product, but not to me.

Um, luckily I use a different card from Apple, so I don’t have to go through the Apple charge back experience again.

I use my chase United card, so that should be fine.

Anyway, that’s the shorter version of the story that I was going to tell.

But like I said, I’m pressed for time all of a sudden.

So here you go.

Happy your daily legs day.

It’s specifically Thursday and, uh, I had to check to make sure.

Bye.
