Summary
We considered an ABBB tattoo ("Always Be Base Building") before a joyous episode on the importance of aerobic reinforcement, debates about gear choices, and existential questions about running! The main topics: the difference between offseason and base-building, why aerobic base needs to be a year-round focus, how to include speed development both before and during base periods, Alex Honnold's adventures in ultrarunning, dealing with burnout in running and life, the perils of productivity, inclusion in sports, and a new segment where we debate different gear options. It's our last normal Tuesday before our lives change forever, so prepare for lots of giddy fun.

| 0:00.0 | Woohoo, welcome to the summer call play podcast. We are so happy to be with you today happy Tuesday |
| 0:05.1 | It's Tuesday and it's our last normal Tuesday. Yeah, for a while actually perhaps for the rest of our lives |
| 0:11.2 | It's so true and why is that? And again because we are like coming in hot here. It's a big life events |
| 0:17.3 | We are in the countdown to labor. It's wild. We're at 38 weeks in a couple days right now |
| 0:23.0 | And our backstop induction date or eviction date our eviction date where it's coming out no matter what is Halloween |
| 0:29.3 | So neck this coming Monday. So big times here. I'm not sure how I feel about all this |
| 0:34.2 | There's gonna be a lot of ketchup on this Halloween |
| 0:38.6 | Yeah, I mean it's gonna be the real deal sort of ketchup. Oh my god |
| 0:42.5 | You're the one dealing with it. I think so that's probably okay for you to say |
| 0:47.0 | But you know, it's interesting when we mentioned to the nurse that we had the other day when we had our last OB appointment |
| 0:52.6 | We were like, oh, yeah, the scheduled induction is on Halloween and the nurse just gasped |
| 0:58.4 | Apparently she's a fan of a certain field in astrology that views Halloween babies differently than the rest of babies |

| 1:10.4 | I have a feeling it will. I have a feeling in baby boys gonna take a long time |
| 1:13.7 | He's gonna take his sweet all time to come out. He's just gonna hang out in there and just just take his time |
| 1:18.3 | Yeah, so how are you feeling? You're in like the taper mode for at least the induction |
| 1:22.2 | Maybe he'll come sooner, but I don't really think so it seems like induction's what it's gonna happen |
| 1:25.5 | I feel pretty good. It's interesting. My taper mode kind of oscillates based on what day of the week it is |
| 1:29.6 | I have this like strange impatience on Mondays and Tuesdays and I think it's because I take so many Zoom calls |
| 1:36.8 | Yeah, but then on the weekends. I'm like he can take his time |
| 1:39.4 | We're watching football. We're hanging out. We're like in this oxytocin bath |
