The Trash Battalion staff brief convenes with the Strait of Hormuz still closed (per the official website), the dumpster tracker going purple and gold, and a hand-jammed Marine Corps Ball ticket tracker in case China knocks out our Excel spreadsheets. Then Grant makes the case for the home gym as he hunts Facebook Marketplace for vintage York squat stands to fit his Newport basement — because when you have kids, the return on training at home is 100x. It's Bitcoin. It's to the moon. With football season days away, the guys react to the AP Preseason Top 25, break down Texas A&M lanyard culture at the War College, and run their full game-by-game season picks for South Carolina, Auburn, and Texas A&M — including Grant's upset of the year: The Citadel over the Aggies. Finally, Grant reveals the Broggi Ice Cream Method: packed ice cream in a tall cup, milk poured to maximum surface tension, constant hydration, milkshake finish. Tres claims lactose intolerance. Grant counters with the science. Powered by The Strength Co. — America 250 plate coming soon, and the Turkey Pull hits Southern California in November.
