Ep. 127: Baby Is Born, Avoiding Gym Injuries & Week 3 Picks

<p>Grant is back from the hospital with baby number two and opens with a Newport tourism brief, the Turkey Pull, and America 250 plate news before Jeff runs a two-man staff brief — Lieutenant Benelli&#39;s Red Sox update, a Toledo cousin in the S-2 confirming the Strait of Hormuz is closed, a hazy-IPA sidebar, eight of nine dumpsters deadlined, and the debut of Chief Petty Officer Seventeen from mental health (cookies available). Then the birth story in full: leaving an ethics class mid-break, the A1 pizza steak sandwich called &quot;the Bomb,&quot; Patriots at seven and baby at halftime, a 9/11 conversation with a nurse who was three years old that day, and a hospital cafeteria meat plate. Grant answers a listener question on preventing injury on starting strength, the two war-college guys compare speakers and Q&amp;A tactics, and Tres finally arrives (with feedback) for football: Auburn over Southern Miss, South Carolina in the rain, the Citadel losing in double OT again, Sark and Holly Rowe, and the week 3 picks. A &quot;first two weeks with a newborn&quot; segment, the movie <em>Pressure</em>, and a debate on whether officers should wear ribbons round it out.</p><p><br></p><p>Podcast Hosts:</p><p>Grant Broggi: Marine Veteran, Owner of The Strength Co. and Starting Strength Coach.</p><p>Jeff Buege: Marine Veteran, Outdoorsman, Football Fan and Lifter</p><p>Tres Gottlich: Marine Veteran, Texan, Fisherman, Crazy College Football Fan and Lifter</p><p>Join the Slack and Use code OKAY:</p><p><a href="https://buy.stripe.com/dR6dT4aDcfuBdyw5ks" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠https://buy.stripe.com/dR6dT4aDcfuBdyw5ks⁠</a></p><p>Check out BW Tax: <a href="https://www.bwtaxllc.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠https://www.bwtaxllc.com⁠</a></p><p>BUY A FOOTBALL HELMET:</p><p><a href="https://www.greengridiron.com/?ref=thestrengthco" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠</a><a href="https://www.thestrength.co/mrhelmet/?utm_source=The+Okay+Podcast&utm_medium=Podcast&utm_campaign=Okay_Pod" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠https://www.thestrength.co/mrhelmet/?utm_source=The+Okay+Podcast&amp;utm_medium=Podcast&amp;utm_campaign=Okay_Pod⁠</a></p><p><br></p><p>Timestamps: </p><p>00:00 - Intro </p><p>06:54 - Staff Brief</p><p>19:23 - Outlying Stations</p><p>24:01 - Grant &amp; Diana’s New Baby Is Born<br>34:10 - How To Prevent Injuries While Doing Starting Strength<br>42:18 - War College Update</p><p>52:18 - Tres
