What's up, buddy?

Mike, what's going on, buddy?

Not much. I'm sorry I missed our earlier appointment.

It's all right, man. It's understandable.

Most people have their...

At least you were sitting on Eastern.

I mean, I send Gmail invites all the time,

and they're on, like,

the most, like, funky, um, time zone ever. I'm like, they're like, did you say one or seven

p.m.? Like they're on, like, whatever, Hawaii time. So, all good, man, not a problem,

glad we were able to work it out. And, uh, I'm pretty pumped about this cast today. I know you are. Welcome, everybody, to Crushing Iron Podcast.

I am Mike and with Coach Robbie, who I think may have a few things on his mind today.

And I am going to lead the charge by throwing out a few things.

Today we're going to talk about common stuff in triathlon,

and we're going to address it from perspective of,

is it a fraud or is it for real?

Does that sound about right?

Yeah, that definitely sounds right.

There's just so much, you know, Does that sound about right? Yeah, that definitely sounds right.

There's just so much, you know, information out there that I think people just kind of listen to and don't really do their due diligence on research, whether it's because they just don't want to or because they don't have time or, or, or they want to be seen with X, Y, or Z. Um, and, you know, there's just a lot of garbage out there that, uh, and a lot of

misinformation. So we're going to talk about that today. Hopefully clear some things up,

probably stir a little, uh, up a little debate and some controversy, but that's all right.
