| 0:00.0 | All right guys welcome back to another episode of the Renegade radio |
| 0:16.0 | podcast I'm here today with my buddy Danny Kavadlo what is up my brother |
| 0:20.7 | Feeling very very good. It's always great to be talking to you. It's always great to reach your audience. It's always great to reconnect with you, man. So I'm thrilled to be here today. |
| 0:29.0 | Yeah, man. So, uh, so the new Book Street workout has been out for like a month now, right? |
| 0:35.0 | Yeah, we got this new book. |
| 0:38.0 | This is actually a really interesting project over here, because as you know, me and my brother Al-Qabaddo have both put out a lot of work about |
| 0:46.3 | training about calisthenics but neither of us has ever really embarked on a project of this magnitude. This thing, this street |
| 0:56.4 | workout, this worldwide anthology, is pretty much the most comprehensive book on calisthenic street workout progressions and exercises that |
| 1:08.9 | he or I have ever been involved. |
| 1:10.8 | It's also our first book that we've co-authored together. So even though |

| 1:47.7 | So I'm really, really happy that we finally got this thing out. |
| 1:51.6 | How is it working with your brother? Because I know if I try to work |
| 1:54.1 | with my brother I'd just be hitting him with DDTs and bionic elbows all day. |
| 1:58.0 | Well, you know me and Al have a good rapport. We work together a lot. We've been doing this, uh, this, uh, this, uh, certification |
| 2:08.6 | scene for a few years. We were doing our own, just calisthenic workshops for several years and even before anybody |
