Game Day Men's Health and let them know I sense
you benkriteal or ESPN the fan. Remember VP products, VPP service,
VPU discounts for all of our listeners. I want to
get into a SoundBite, if I may to start us off,
some of our former b YU great some of the
goats are getting to the age of mission presidency. That's right.
One of the all time great defensive acts in b
YU football history, former b y U A d arguably
the greatest ad and b YU football history, has been
called to serve as a mission president for the Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints. Tom freaking home Moo.
We got a SoundBite from his wonderful daughter's Instagram feed.
Let's play it for all to hear. To there you
go so is he said Oakland right, Oakland, California, San Francisco,
Bay Yeah, Samsung, Oakland and San Francisco. It's the Bay Area.
I love it, man going back. We're gonna try to
get th h on this show The Goat on next
week to discuss it.
Speaker 2: And I like him, then I can I can say this.
Speaker 1: We will have him next Monday. Let's go confirm. I
spoke with thch earlier.
Speaker 2: We will have him talking all about the missionary work
next week.
Speaker 1: Yes, indeed, I'm loving that. I'm excited about that. Shout
out to Tom Homo being called to serve with all
of his heart, my mind and strength in the mission field,
thrusting in his sickle with his mic in the Bay Area,
going back home. Baby, Congratulations to Tom Homo. Also Robbie Bosco,
the national champion quarterback. Robbie Bosco getting called to serve
and he's going vic. You said he's going to Columbus, Ohio. Baby,
Shout out to Robbie Botching. Now, Robbie's been filling a
role within the BYU Athletic department, the Varsity Club, the
Cougar Club. He's been helping out any way, shape or form,
that again. He's been a coach at BYU as well,
but he's been in athletic development with the fundraising side
of things and a product out of Roseville, California. I
don't know what's crazy is. I don't think Robbie was
Robbie a member of the Churchy's Christ in the lettery
Stints when he came to BYU. I don't think he was.
He got I always talk about how BYU actually had
a debate with a Utah fan recently. He's like, BYU
is not a missionary tool for good. It's not an
ambassadorio tool for good. You guys are buying people's faith.
I'm like, guys, wait a second, here, wait a second,
wait to tick, young man. I have a list. Okay,
how great will be the rejoicing if you bring just
one onto the fold? Need I remind you of the scriptures? Okay?
And look like we have so many former players that
came to BYU, including Tom Homo. Let me go down
to like Curtis Brown, my guy, Jamal Willis, Caylen Hall,
some ballers in the backfield for Brigham. How about Tye
Freakin' debtmer? Okay, you can just go down the list
of fantastic for one set to al Lai. My teammates
shout out to Setde doing great things in the community,
Like you just go down the list, man, I need
to aggregate this. Sometimes I just do it off the cuff.
But I don't think Robbie was a member. Now he's
a mission president. Now he's going forth and serving in
the mission field. Uh, mentoring the youth as they they
get out there, eighteen nineteen year olds right going and
trying to preach the gospel. Oh, my guy, John John
just texted me most recently crittled Foos Foostraora. The fos
is loose. Just wait till you put Foos out of
the missions. He's gonna be a mission president later on
in his life, serving maybe in his country, right, you
never know. Going back to the roots, baby, that's what
thh told. He's going back to the roots anyway. How
great will be the joy? Don't tell me that BYU
athletics and a missionary tool and an ambassadorial tool for good. Yeah,
but you don't live up to the standard. You guys
don't live up to that. I'm like, what do you want?
You want infallibility? Is that what you want or do
you want someone to try their best. Yeah, but you
guys are just buying people saying no, sorry, there's too
much evidence to contradict that, to counteract that. Ladies and gentlemen,
boys and girls. Ultimately, I get it, you know, we're
all it's gonna be imperfect. And I think Shane Reese
embodied it, encapsulated it very well when he was uh
when he took on the role of the president of
Brigham Young University. He said, Look, we're gonna try our
best in every way, shape and form, essentially, but we're
gonna fall short. Right, We're gonna be imperfect in all this.
We can't sit here and be stagnant and not maximize
our talent, the parable of the talents which you may
have academic talents, you may have spiritual talents, you may
have physical talents. I would say you shouldn't ballet any
of those talents. You should maximize those and and promulgate
those and and ultimately try to bring others to the
goodness of the faith and of the fruits of the faith.
So that's my opinion. Hate me for it, that's my opinion.
You know, I don't say it has good fruits. Okay,
it's taking care of your body. Like I was talking
to my buddy Cedu Chris Morner, former BYU defensive back,
and I said, Bro, do you realize we came down
We fought in the pre mortal life to get a body.
We fought like I don't know if we were like
wielding like spiritual swords. I don't know if we were
doing like Judo kicks and chops, like hand to hand
spirit combat with Satan and the Falling Third. I don't know.
Like we fought though. We wanted to come down to
this world, give me a body, give me this body,
and then we come down here and we treat it
like doo doo. We treat it like crap, like fecal matter. Like, bro,
we gotta treat our bodies better, you know what I mean.
We came down here to get this body, to experience it,
you know, and we treat it like dude. We got
to take care of our health. We got Layne Allo
at Game Baymen's out to help us out treat our bodies. Right, Lane,
how are you?
Speaker 2: I'm so good?
Speaker 3: And that was maybe the best transition I've ever heard. Fantastic,
I don't know about that.
Speaker 1: But you know, hey, you got a bit. We gotta
we gotta treat our bodies. Right. We fought, Yeah, we fought, right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a blessing.
Speaker 1: You were doing roundhouse, you know, helicopter kicks, you know
in the spirit life, say hey, I want to I
want to get down there, I want to get a body.
Speaker 3: I was just motivating people. I wasn't doing any of
the kicks. I was just like cheering people on, like
you do the kicks.
Speaker 2: I'll just watch.
Speaker 1: It was the war. There was a war in heaven. Yeah,
of course it was. Were you fighting.
Speaker 2: You need cheerleaders though, too, right.
Speaker 1: You were the banner, Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2: I was just shouting out instructions from the back. All right,
kick carter.
Speaker 1: Kick, carter kick, carter, wield your your you know, wield
your fighting shickle harder. Anyway, How can we maybe obtain
a little bit better health at game day? Match health?
Speaker 3: Well, just kind of knowing what your baselines are at
right now, right, Yeah, a lot of guys are walking
around and they don't feel good, they don't look good,
they're not performing well, and a lot of that starts
with where their hormones are at, right and so it's
it's really just kind of a better understanding, Okay, what
it's going on with my body, because oftentimes that's the
first thing that we need to do is just the
diagnosis of the triage of what's happening.
Speaker 2: So that's what our clinic provides.
Speaker 3: We we help guys find out like what's going on
with their bodies. Is there something underlying that might be
causing you know, the fatigue or the the the more
than usual stress, the poor sleep, the body uh, the
body comp changes and stuff like that. And so we
do free labs, we do free consultations where we check
some of those things, and then you sit down with
our provider, Jason, and he kind of walks you through,
like what are some of your options, what is he noticing?
How can he help you from from that side, from
the from the medicinal side of things. You're just the
diet and exercise and all that kind of stuff that
we all know that we should be doing, but is
there something else there too? Yeah, Jason's awesome, by Yeah,
he's right background, Like, I've been very impressed with him because,
like you know, you go into these situations and like
you don't know, you know what to expect and you
sit down with Jason after you're getting the blood work
done and he watchs it through everything. Uh, you know,
and it takes a very scientific approach and I think
a conservative approach and all that and uh and and
and then get you on the right path and that
works with you to to see where the deficiencies are
and say hey, let's try this.
Speaker 1: I think this will help you.
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, absolutely, and that's that's what it's all about.
Speaker 3: But more than anything, it's just a matter of finding
out like what is going on and every every guy.
Speaker 2: Deserves to know, right Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And we make the process as easy as possible.
We're not like your traditional medical office or anything like that.
It's yeah, it's it's a really good atmosphere and really
comfortable for guys to come into.
Speaker 1: A few other things world of BAU sports related, and
I want to get back to some of the products
and services you guys provide their game. Bay Mitel Bwa
your director of athletics. By the way, Brian Santiago officially
introduced Rob Nielson as the seventh head coach and BA
women's volleyball program history on Thursday morning. This was a
quote from that press conference. My expectations, says the head coach,
the do head coach, are to work hard tomorrow. In practice,
we want to work hard. We're going to get after
it every day. I don't know what my goals are.
I don't know what we can accomplish. I know that
almost every time that I've set expectations, our teams have
surpassed those. We didn't dream high enough at the beginning
when we started to try and write down what we
thought we could accomplish. We just want to get to work.
We have expectations that we're going to work hard every
day with the understanding that we have the talent, we
have the character, we have the women. What that the
sky's the limit. We know what we can Who knows
what we can accomplish? He says. We can go and
do big things. We can compete for big toal championships,
we can make runs in the NCAA tournament and compete
for national championships. But we've got to get to work
and the expectations are that we're going to get after
it every single day. So Guard Mike Guard Darnell Dixon
was probably down there just saying huzzah, because he's a
volleyball guy through and through. But not only is b
YU football, bo basketball doing well. But even amongst the
tumultuous nature right now of of everything in UH in
the college or in the in the in the BYU
athletic department, like I feel good about about the women's
volleyball team, there are some guys, there are some gals
in the transfer portal, hopefully they're retained. But give your
overall thoughts on the collective health of the athletic department
at BUYU laid out up.
Speaker 3: Well, you said it perfectly. Like obviously basketball and football
are doing really well right now. Even women's basketball is
doing fantastic right now. The women's soccer team just came
off of they they made it to the tournament we have.
The cross country team is doing fantastic. I'm sure indoor
track is doing well as well. So this is awesome
to hear that we got a new head coach. But
I mean the athletic department as a whole. I think
that you can count on one hand the amount of
athletic departments at the college level right now that are
doing better than b YU, not just from like a
performance standpoint, and like where they're actually ending up at
the end of the season, but also just monetarily right
there's there's very few athletic departments that are able to
to do as well as we're doing right now from
a financial standpoint.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's truly remarkable per dollar spent would BYU Athletics
has been able to accomplish over the last fifty odd
years in all sports one more in every sport per
dollar spent than I think any other institution in the country.
A couple other things here late products and services. You
guys provide their game Bay match Out, and I believe
they get a fifty percent off subscription when they mentioned
myself for ESPN the Fan.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So our primary thing is obviously hormone optimizations. We do
a lot of stuff with testosterone and that comes in
multiple forms. We also do a lot with peptides, so
that's kind of a new and growing space as well
for just optimization of many different things, whether that's body composition,
weight loss, or anything like that. We also do medical
assistant weight loss type stuff, so glp ones. We do
vitamin supplementation through actual injections, which your body tends to
absorb a little bit easier than you know, oral supplement.
We do stuff for sexual sexual performance as well, so
we do a lot of different things. Oftentimes people think
we're strictly a hormone clinic, but we actually do quite
a few things in addition to just the hormone stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know, I know a lot of people
they get a little bit uncomfortable when you talk about
sexual performance stuff. Look, I always say this. I'm like,
let's go back, let's get scriptural here. When when when
God addressed Adam and ebe what was the first commandmit
he gave Adam and Eve? Huh, what do you say?
Multiply multiply replaced here or at least practice it, you
know what I mean? And so there's something to it.
You know what I mean. It's not good for man
to be alone. It is better to be alone in
the willderness and with an angry and contexious woman. Though
that is also scripture. But I'm telling you, you know,
that's the first commatis. So, but you know what, get
after it, gentlemen. If you feel a little down, you know,
and you want to get after it again, Hey, come
on in, get evaluated, get treated. Let's get back to
what we were. You know, I ask my friend that's
like not LDS. I'm like, what do you think the
purpose is of this earth?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 1: No God related things like what are like? No, no,
no deity? And he's you know, what is it? He's like,
probably just survive and have sexbody there you go, you
know to an degree. So hey, it's not wrong to
go out and get evaluated for you know, sexual reproduction
type of activities.
Speaker 3: No, I mean it's important part of relationships, right, That
is a very important part of relationships. And for some guys,
and and oftentimes we hear guys think that this is
an old man's problem, right like when I get into
my sixties, my seventies, at that point I will address it. Unfortunately,
that's not the case. In addition to just the the
lowering or the decrease overall and in testosterone and guys,
we're also seeing performance issues with with sexual health at
a much younger age than we used to. And so
if that part of your life is lacking, we can
help out. And there are seriously, there are so many
different things things that we can do to assess what's
going on. It's just a matter of kind of you know,
swallowing your pride a little bit humbling yourself and just saying, Okay,
this is something that like I need to address so
I can have that fulfillment in that part of my
life once again.
Speaker 1: VIP products, VP service, VP discounts. When you mentioned myself
for ESPN the fan there at game Day, Mens Health,
you're at the PG location. Yeah right, you know, right
down the street from our Banderwill studio. So stop by,
talk to Lane, talk to Jason. They're gonna take care
of you. I'll leave you with this. It's not a
BYU Sporting News type of deal, but I loved it.
Connor Stallion's kind of a controversial figure. He was the
science stealer of the University of Michigan in their quest
for perfection and the national championship. Ever since nil kicked in,
this is what he said, the college football National Championship
Game has consisted of Michigan, Washington, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Indiana,
or Oregon in Miami rural. This is so funny that here,
because yesterday I was poking fun at the rural south
car dealerships that were paying players. And he's right on
with it too. He says, rural Southern car dealerships are
no longer the X factor in college football. And don't
even start with but nil started in twenty twenty one
b as when you were doing nil for decades prior
in the five to six figure range deals, there was
no transition when you weren't and can afford six to
seven figure deals. It took a few years to adjust,
create collectives and convince donors to put their money toward
players and not the athletic departments. You are now seeing
the product of that. Does that make sense? Like a
lot of the money the donor money. What athletic departments
have had to figure out is their corporate sponsorship, advertising synergies,
what they're willing to give corporate sponsors and donors for
their money. But they've also had to say, okay, well,
we know that the collectives need money in order to
pay the W nine salaries of these football players until
revshare kicks in, right, and then we can help and
aid and support in that. But even then you're dealing
at a competitive disadvantage if you're only gonna rev share that,
if you're only gonna take the sixteen million or so
and give that to your payroll for football and then
oppkate the rest or to basketball in your Olympic sports right, However,
you want to do that with your TV money that
you're receiving from ESPN, Fox, et cetera. But that's been
an interesting dynamic for athletic departments and they had to
figure that out. And some of them have said, hey,
corporate sponsor, why don't you take some of this and
also go to the collective so that we can pay
those guys. And we're not going to take all of it.
So it's been a difficult transition for a lot of
these universities. Does that make sense, Like it's been very difficult.
And I do think that the biggest impact on these
SEC schools isn't that necessarily the transition, but the fact
that others can do what they've been doing for the
last twenty five thirty years. And I think Connor that's
what Connor Connor knows. Like Connor was knee deep in it.
He he's he was there. If anyone's gonna know about
the cheating, Connor Stallion's gonna know about cheating and circumventing
the rules a little bit with the sign stealing.
Speaker 2: Oh, he's the face of it, right, Yeah, And I don't.
Speaker 1: Look he was operating I think to a degree within
the rules that were like, it's just stupid that there
was no headsets, like like, why didn't we have headset?
Why did we have to come to this. It's because, guys,
I'm telling you, there were coaches out there that had
a competitive advantage for the last thirty years that had
been sign stealing and had had done a better job
than anybody else in sign steeling. If you have more
resources from an athletic department, you can hire certain individuals and
all they're gonna do is sign steel. And Connor Stallion's
with his his academic and military military background is encoding
and decoding and sign stealing essentially utilized it for his
his favorite team, Michigan congratulation. So the fact that it
was still in play these rules of being capable of
signal only during the game, though you can only do
it during you can't go and scottle It's so stupid,
so dumb, because there were other every coach was doing
it that had the resources to do it. Lincoln Riley
was calling out Kyle Whittingham and his staff were stealing
his signs at USC.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's uh, I'll say this, I'll focus
more on on on BYU. How nice is it that
we have a business school that can figure these stuff
out or this stuff out before the rest of the
nation catches on, right, like in terms of just nil
allocation and revshare and all that kind of stuff. We
have some of the brightest minds who are helping assist
us in figuring out how do we make all this work.
And it's because I mean so many people here in
Utah have such great business minds and so the rest
of the country.
Speaker 2: We have figured it out relatively.
Speaker 3: I mean, look at when this all happened and then
when it coincided with the Big twelve and all that
kind of stuff. I mean, we were able to figure
things out in a couple of seasons, whereas other schools
are going to take I mean, who knows years decades
to figure everything out.
Speaker 1: Well, Lane, the last thing Game Day Men's out the
pleasure Grove. All they gotta do is call you guys,
set up an appointment and start the process to get evaluated.
See get some blood work done. Blood work is the baseline.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So Game Day Men'shealth dot Com. There's several locations
here in Utah. Find the one that's closest to you.
We'd love to see you if you're in the Pleasant
Grove area. But yeah, it's like I said, the consultation
is completely free. Some of the initial labs are completely
free of charge as well, to look at what your
testosterone levels are at. But yeah, just come see us.
I mean, it's a really easy chat. And every guy,
like I mentioned before, every guy deserves to know where
their overall health is. So this is preventive health, this
is for longevity. This is so when you're sixty seventy
eighty years old, you have that quality of life. And
even in your thirties, right, like, if you're feeling sluggish,
if you're not sleeping well, if you're not if you're
not performing at your best, or if you feel like,
oh man, I don't feel the same way or look
the same way or perform the same way as when
I was in your twenties, that's aging, right, and we
can help with any one of our.
Speaker 2: Services to help out that aspect of your life.
Speaker 1: Love that laid out a legend, and gentlemen, head on
into game day, Mitch Health and Pleasant Grove. He's gonna
take care of you. Know if sands or butts about it,
VMPY Products, VMPY Service, VMPY discounts Laide will oh, let's say,
stick around if you like. We got a great interview
coming up next with Ryan Eldridge, the ultimate BYU insider
there at Big O'd Tires in American Form. Don't miss it.
We're gonna get into all the Nixon crannies of what's
happening down in Provo, Utah with my guy, Ryan ELDRIDG.
