Grant checks in live from Newport, Rhode Island, Jeff reports from the greater Montgomery, Alabama area, and Tres joins by phone from the road.</p><p><br></p><p>The boys open with the most unhinged Trash Battalion staff brief yet — eagles vs. beagles leadership wisdom, a brand-new Boston adjutant pitching a lobster bake to the Cajun Sergeant Major, a Strait of Hormuz update delivered from the road, and a Marine who fell into a dumpster (he&#39;s okay, he&#39;s accounted for).</p><p><br></p><p>Then it&#39;s into the topics: Grant breaks down why so many people in commercial gyms are running the &quot;Lost Boys workout&quot; — wandering machine to machine with no plan — and why you need a purpose every time you walk in. Grant and Jeff compare base gym setups (including actual &quot;no deadlifting&quot; signs), swap war stories from their first weeks back at military school, and debate whether AI reading your homework to you counts as studying. </p><p><br></p><p>Plus: dad talk on bubble machine economics, movies edited by Grant&#39;s mom, taking a 23-month-old to Fenway on $10 military tickets, and a Chow Radar review of the most disappointing famous lobster roll in Newport.</p><p><br></p><p>Timestamps:</p><p>00:00 - Intro</p><p>05:25 - Staff Brief</p><p>30:21 - Having A Purpose In The Gym</p><p>37:02 - Air Force Gym</p><p>43:43 - O5 Workout Culture</p><p>46:53
