    Ep. 109: Submarine Press, Best Movies & Morgan Wallen

    This week on The Okay Podcast, Grant, Tres, and Jeff spiral into one of the most chaotic episodes yet — featuring fake military staff briefs, Cajun Sergeant Majors handing out leave, government charge card investigations, Boomer Sooner history lessons, and an in-depth discussion on why your overhead press probably sucks. The guys also break down the 50 Cal Challenge leaderboard, discuss gym day pass etiquette, training frequency for the press, and whether landmine movements actually matter for getting stronger. Somewhere in the middle of all that, Trash Battalion completely loses control of the situation. If you like lifting, military humor, garage gym culture, and absolute nonsense, this one’s for you.
