Woohoo! Welcome to the SomeWork AllPlay podcast. We are so happy you are here today. And we are

recording on a Tuesday, which is different than we had initially planned. We were like, oh,

we're going to do this every single Monday. And that fell by the wayside very quickly. Mondays are

often our running rest days. And they feel a little long. We sometimes work from 530 in the morning to

5.30 in the evening on Mondays. And as a result, it just kind of feels like this hibernation day. We're in a different brain state. And I feel like we bring pretty high energy Tuesday to Sundays. And then Monday is that day that's just an outlier. Oh, God. If we recorded it, we'd be like a hibernating bear trying to record a podcast just like, oh, I want to say. Actually, it would

really work on two speed if we did like, oh, I want to say.

Actually, it would really work on two speed if we did that. Oh, that would be great. I know. But I also think my IQ drops about 30 points on Mondays. Yeah. So it drops from like 400 to 370. No, no, no. Oh, no. So yesterday I took a nap because like it's Monday and that's the best thing to do. And as soon as I woke up from the nap,

I had no idea where I was,

no idea what year it was. And then I suddenly remembered it was 20, and it was like a horrifying realization. And then I had a little bit of coffee and was able to survive the rest of the day. It's so nice that to make it to Tuesday morning and be like, I get to go for a run today. It's great. Oh, my God. Yeah. No, I,

I really don't like the idea of trying to like, oh, I just want to get through this day or whatever because like every day is a gift and all that stuff we talk about. But at 3.30 on Mondays, I'm like, I just need to get through this freaking day. I do think that getting through Monday makes Tuesday an extra special gift.

It's so true.

So it's kind of nice to have the contract.

And it is like, and as we talked about with rest days before,

it's the ultimate insurance for have the contract. And it is like,

and as we talked about with rest days before, it's the ultimate insurance for your body, not just like your physical nature, obviously, but also your mental side. Like it's good to go through those cycles. Like if we brought our two speed podcast energy every single day, I think we might like, we'd burn out for sure. Smoke would be coming out of our our ears. So we didn't mention the email for the podcast last week. So it's some work all play at gmail.com. We are getting some amazing questions across the board. Thank you so much for your questions. And thank you for the people that found us outside of the email address last week. So we got some people reaching out through creative methods. I got some Instagram or website. It actually was eye-opening.

I'm like, I should probably Google myself and figure out the way, different ways in which we can find us. People were sliding into my DMs. It was really sweet. LinkedIn DMs. It was all over the place. Yeah, so keep the questions going. So we're going to mix up structure. might just be two topics because we got some juicy ones. Future weeks we might do like 10 even.

We might just do quick hitters. 10? Yeah, yeah. You're crazy. Just like little bits of research going into it. So yeah, keep them coming. And we've had a, we've had a really fun weekend. We're like trying to embrace as much as we can the stuff. We talk about on the podcast like play and enjoying life and all these different things so we've been running together a lot and biking together a lot and with

that we've had to develop some some ways to make our training partner relationship more sustainable

we've instituted some safe words in our training journey so we've talked about this before on the

podcast but sometimes i feel like the wuss

or the weak one because you're obviously better than I am. Testosterone is a powerful journey. Yeah, yeah. I'm a man, which gives me a slight advantage, but you're a much better athlete. So I know that you're inherently comfortable with the idea of me saying, oh my gosh, let's slow down. And I know it's not a point of weakness. but for whatever reason, sometimes it still makes me feel like it was.

So we've instituted these safe words where when, let's slow down. And I know it's not a point of weakness. But for whatever reason, sometimes it still makes me feel like who was. So we've instituted these safe words
