getting into all the nukes and grantings of the college
football world, especially BYU football World.
Speaker 2: It's going to be brought to you by Game Day
Men's Health.
Speaker 1: I love Game Day Men's Health because they're getting guys
back into the game.
Speaker 2: And how do you get back into the game.
Speaker 1: You know, because you're feeling maybe a little bit lethargic,
less energy, less virility.
Speaker 2: You're trying to maybe lose weight.
Speaker 1: There's a number of things that are maybe impeding you
from getting back to where you are. You want to
be mentally, emotionally, physically, shoots, spiritually, and game Day mans
Health wants to age it in that reintroduction to the game.
So I want to talk a little bit about game
Day Manzelt, and obviously a lot of college football in
this segment, I want to welcome into the show one
of the owner operators of these fine establishments along the
wasat front. We got Lane Alo, who is currently running
the Pleasant Growth location.
Speaker 2: Lane. How the heck are you buddy doing good?
Speaker 3: Man? I'm really appreciative of you having me here today.
Speaker 1: Hey, always a pleasure talking ball and also talking about
the health of men out there.
Speaker 2: Let's start start with this the health of BYU. Real quick.
Speaker 1: BYU's in the game right now, hopefully they get into
the college football playoff game.
Speaker 2: You're a BYU fan.
Speaker 1: I don't know what your expectations were preseason, but BYU
has for many in Cougar Country, has overachieved this season.
Speaker 2: Nine to one.
Speaker 1: Right now, heading on the road to Cincinnati, it's a
big game. They may welcome UCF into Lavell Edwards stadium
and then hopefully they're the Big twelve championship game too,
hopefully compete and win against most likely Texas Tech. How
how do you how do you see this season? And
you know, how entertaining has it been for you? Oh?
Speaker 3: Man, it's been a great season.
Speaker 4: I mean obviously, with the news that came out right
before fall camp, you know a lot of fans didn't
know if this was gonna be a throwaway season. None
of us knew anything about there at that point. And
then you start hearing little reports about him doing well
in fall camp and stuff like that. And even you
and I had conversations when we first met, talking about
like how things were happening in fall camp and ever
since then, I mean, everything that has exceeded our expectations.
You know, we everyone was talking about like, you know,
if we can get to a bowl game, and then
as like, you know, seven seven wins this season, that's
kind of our ceiling, and anything beyond that is, you know,
just is just gravy. But it's funny how as the
season progresses that goalpost moves a little bit, right. You
start winning against these quality opponents and you're like, wait
a second, you know you see bear have a big run.
You're like, hold up, like, maybe we can win more
than seven games, maybe we can win more than eight games.
And I don't think anyone maybe maybe people thought this,
but uh, it has exceeded every expectation that I've that
I've had.
Speaker 3: For the season, and it's been fun.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I want to say it opened at
like the preseason win total for BYU football was at
like six and a half.
Speaker 2: I think it was like six and.
Speaker 1: A half, and we're like, you know, I've taken that over,
Like we were smacking that over, like absolutely, you know,
we're definitely smacking that over for the betting ones out there,
but like I figuratively better and like, oh yeah, yeah,
definitely if you get a bet, go go with the
over there. I felt like, b what you could like
my ceiling was nine and three floor was uh was
uh was probably seven and five. I felt like that
was what the regular season would would bring us, and
then we we'd get to ten wins with maybe a
bowl game in the Pop Tarts bats like that would
be tremendous with its refreshment and you get double digit
wins and what a great season that would be. And
look it could still be a nine and three season.
We don't know what's gonna happen on the back end here,
Like you could lose to you could lose this incidenta
in the road. Wheels could fall off versus UCF. But
it doesn't seem like the culture is built to like
flail at the end of the season. I think they
should finish strong and right now they're heading out to Cincinnati.
They're only a two and a half point favorite, which
I found to be intriguing.
Speaker 2: We have struggled on the road though.
Speaker 1: You look at the games, even like the ECU game,
like it wasn't like this dominant start to finish win.
They ended up, you know, separating late. But the Colorado game, right,
you were on your heels and then you roared back.
Iowa State game took a little bit of defense and
special teams to turn that one around and then it
was a solid victory on the road. Arizona Wildcats doublet right,
that was you had a storm delay as well. So
like I look at all these road games thus far,
and it's not like obviously bou plays better at home.
Is it fair to have BYU is only a two
and a half point favorite versus a formerly ranked Cincinnati
Bearcatz team.
Speaker 4: Do you think, well, if any lesson we've learned this year,
it's that the Vegas has no idea what to or
how to anticipate how Bway's gonna play, right. I mean,
you look at the last game against TCU. I don't
remember what the line ended up being, but it was
where Vegas gets it really mixed up.
Speaker 1: Like I think they they more accurately depict maybe the
close games on the road, but at home you can't
account for the Royal Army, true, and just how rockets
they get, as well as just how good this b
or your Cougar fob ball team plays under the lights
of level.
Speaker 4: In the entire game too, right, I mean some of
those false starts. Was was it in the fourth quarter
that those false starts were happening? It's like that rarely
happens at other stadiums.
Speaker 1: By the way, b YU is seven and three against
the spread, So I mean that's that's good teams win,
great teams cover, and so by that metric you would say, hey,
like they're over achievement, they're beating the spread, and so
you're right, Vegas hasn't necessarily dialed in BYU this year.
Texas Tech is actually ten and one against the spread,
shows how great they are. Ohio States number two in
the country against the spread. They're eight and one and
one against the spread. And then you Qutah States eight
and two against just anyway, and so is Utah anyway. Uh,
you know they they It's just a saying, you know,
good teams win, great teams cover. There was some validity
to that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, I think you're right.
Speaker 4: Your original question was about like the spread for this game, right,
so you said it's at two and a half, two
and a half, they're two and a half point favorites.
It's hard to say. I mean, it's gonna really depend
a lot. I have full confidence in BYU. I think
they're really clicking. After that TCU game, It's like they
have exceeded all expectations up to this point. It will
be interesting to see how Cincinnati plays this game. Being
back at home sounds sores By sounds like he's gonna play.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 3: They get their running back back as well.
Speaker 4: Who I know he he had a really phenomenal beginning
to his season as well. I think he was carrying
the ball for like over seven yards a clip or
something like that, which is which is nuts. So it'll
be really interesting to see. I do think that we
we cover, like I I don't see a world in
which which that doesn't happen. Like I anticipate a close
game like that, but I don't know. I think it's
gonna be more than two and a half points.
Speaker 1: Yeah, a way results just so everybody knows, right, points
four points again against one thirty nine points four one
seventeen points against. So average margin is four point four
points per game. You know, obviously, you take out Texas
Tech and that changes things.
Speaker 2: A little bit.
Speaker 1: You beat East Carolina thirty four thirteen, you beat Colored
out of twenty four to twenty one, You beat Arizona
thirty three twenty seven, and the beat Iowa State forty
one to twenty seven. B HYU is a good team
on the road. I don't know if they're a great
team on the road just yet. And this is you know,
would we compare like, is is Cincinnati better than Arizona? Right,
they're about the same. I mean, look, that's that game
was just played and Cincinnati lost. Now Cincinnati was maybe
a little bit digged up. They lost by three at
home to u of A and Sworsby has a little
bit of an angle issue, and they have a running
back and wide receiver that are returning that are both
starters or rotational guys that are impactful players.
Speaker 2: They're pretty same similar.
Speaker 1: So if you took you're gonna take these equivalencies. It's
not too far off to say if they're equivalent. Teams
are close to that equivalency. This is gonna be a
really tough game on the road, and it's it's a
one score game on the road when you look at
Arizona specifically with common opponents.
Speaker 4: Sure, I will say I think Arizona's trending upwards, and
obviously Cincinnati's kind of on a on a slide right now.
But I think you do bring up a good point.
I'll also say, what was Arizona? Was that the fifth
game of the season.
Speaker 1: I mean it wasn't too long ago. I mean it's
you know, middle of the season, a few weeks ago.
Speaker 4: So that was that was Bear's fifth start ever. He'd
only played was up maybe the second.
Speaker 2: It was October eleventh, so a little over a month ago.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Yeah, so I think that I think that he
he's had a lot of experience between between that Arizona
game in this game. Also say, like while it obviously
it hurts when when LJ goes out because we we
don't have like a very established running game beyond him
and and obviously Bear at times as.
Speaker 2: Well, but.
Speaker 4: Like him going out allowed Bear to air it out
a little bit more and so during some of those
earlier games we really weren't throwing all that much. So
it'll be interesting to see now with with LJ back
at you know, fuller health than what he has been,
what it'll look like against the Cincinnati team where Bear
can throw and we have a pretty decent ground game
as well.
Speaker 1: Be why you getting him back into the game and
competing this weekend? How can men that are listening right
now get back into the game at game day?
Speaker 4: Mentel, what it all starts with, like understanding where your
health is at right. The thing that we do is
we do we do blood work for all of our
guys they come in. We have a few labs that
we can do in house, primarily around your hormones, so
understand where your testosterone levels are at and from there,
once we have a good baseline, Once we understand like
where where that is at we can.
Speaker 3: Talk about your options.
Speaker 4: We obviously send our labs out for more comprehensive panels
as well to have a bigger picture of.
Speaker 3: Where everything's at.
Speaker 4: But if you're not feeling yourself, if you're feeling sluggish,
if you're feeling tired, if you're feeling like your recovery
after the gym has taken too long, or you know
your lifts are not where they used to be, and
all that kind of stuff, it could be your testosterone.
Speaker 3: It's it's not always the.
Speaker 4: Case, but oftentimes, especially after the age of about thirty,
that could be one of the leading causes for it.
And it's good to know, like if you're if you're
wanting to get back into the game, if you're trying
to you know, revamp your your your life. It's it's
a good place to start. And so it's really easy.
All these these consultations and the initial labs are completely
free of charge. We feel very strongly that every guy
should know what their number is, specifically talking about testosterone,
so we don't charge for that, and it's really easy
to get in touch with us. We're at Game Day
and Men'shealth dot Com. There's several locations across the Wahsatche front.
Like you mentioned, we're in pleasant But if you go
to game day Men'shealth dot com, uh, there's a location finder.
You plug in your your zip code, you'll find the
closest one to you. But uh, yeah, we we believe
that everyone should have that that longevity, that vitality back
in their life, and it starts with understanding like where
you're at.
Speaker 2: Your overall health is baseline.
Speaker 1: Foundational information about your health is to me an imperative.
Getting blood work done and finding out where your deficient
is a great launching point. And then you can decide, Okay,
what what do I What do I want to do?
What I want to change? How how do I go
about doing that?
Speaker 2: What do I what? Uh?
Speaker 1: You know, what options are there two to you know,
engage in in this holistic health model that you guys
provide there at Game Day Men's Health. Ormonal health obviously,
and I know you guys do a lot of different
things with whether it's weight loss or just stoss for
replacement therapy, vitamin injections and just a lot of different options.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, for overall med's health. Yeah, we don't stop
with just testosteron. We do stuff with peptides. We do
stuff with medical weight loss, sexual wellness, like ED treatment
and things like that as well. So go to the
website if you're feeling basically, if we don't have it,
we can refer you out to somewhere else. But like,
if you're feeling uh not like yourself, like you were
back in your twenties or thirties, like, come come find us.
We're happy to help out. And it starts with just
understanding what those baselines are.
Speaker 1: And your practitioner. Jason is awesome. Oh yeah, he's fantastic.
Speaker 4: Yeah, people often at times ask us like, what's our
secret sauce. Obviously we care about our patients tremendously, but
it starts with Jason.
Speaker 2: Like Jason, he's a really good practitioner.
Speaker 1: I was.
Speaker 2: I've been impressed.
Speaker 1: I've been dealing with practitioners since, you know, for forever, right,
I mean since my playing days and more so in
a consulative consultative role as a medical device rep.
Speaker 2: But I was extremely impressed with Jason.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's very knowledge, but he can also talk to
you like you're a human being, because that's my biggest thing.
My background isn't medical. But he's able to talk to
you understand, like what your goals are as an individual.
Maybe it's performance, maybe it's you know, weight loss or aesthetics,
whatever it may be, he can offer up a solution
to help you gain well to.
Speaker 3: Meet those goals.
Speaker 1: Yes, indeed, a little last to college football component here
obviously BYU without that Texas Tech game has been pretty
good on the road right East Carolina, Colorado, Arizona, Iowa State.
Speaker 2: Their average margin of victory eleven.
Speaker 1: Points, but they've had to find ways to win in
kind of a gritty fashion, not just a complete game control.
So we'll see how this one plays out at Cincinnati.
Speaker 2: Tough one on the road.
Speaker 1: The one thing that makes me optimistic that b way
you can find a dub and maybe even a double
digit dub, is that Soresby and his running ability could
be in paired by an ankle injury. He did show
up on the injury report. He was limited in practice.
They may not want to run up as much as
he typically runs. You go side by side with Bear
Bachmeyer and Brendan Swordsby.
Speaker 2: They're very they're very they're very symmetrical.
Speaker 1: They're like the same person heightweight, rushing, touchdowns, passing, yards.
They're they're the spider man. Mean, they're just pointing at
each other, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: It's uh.
Speaker 1: But the good thing is Bear's actually healthy, fully healthy,
looking good.
Speaker 2: So we'll see how it plays out. Guys.
Speaker 1: Contact Game Day, Mats Health, Game Day, Mitch Health dot com.
Speaker 2: Give a Lane a call.
Speaker 1: If you're in the Pleasant Grove area, there's a Lee
High location as well, and then you can get up

Speaker 1: How many game day locations are there now here along
the Watside front?
