Hello it's time for some Homo sapiens, some 2024 homo sapiens happy new year everybody how are we all

Storm what's it storm

storm hector something like that has been ravaging us all for a wonderful better description.

I've had a whole tree come down in my garden.

Actually, really exciting. It was a silver birch, a beautiful tree covered in moss, opened up the window and it had fallen right down in the middle of the garden.

Nothing was damaged I'm pleased to report, but yeah, that's been that's been today's excitement. How has it been for you all?

Are you back at work? Are you managing to shirk work? Are you doing dry January? Are you on a new health kick? Because if you are, I've got just the episode for you, and not for the reasons you might think because today we've got

Peloton superstar Cody Rigsby on the show now Peloton for those of you who don't know and who didn't experience the past the is an indoor spin class that you can do from home should you be able to be in a

position to buy this big bike that you have in your house and it blew up over

it was always a thing but it blew up over, it was always a thing, but it blew up over lockdown because people weren't allowed to go out.

And Cody Rigsby was one of the instructors and became this massive thing because everyone just kind of fell in love with him.

And he became one of the favorite instructors because he played loads of like unbelievable music

like Brittany, Mariah, Beyonce,

to dedicate whole classes to them,

but also kind of being really empowering to the queer community.

And he always says that, he says this lovely thing in the interview,

I like to think of the peloton bike as a

Trojan horse of diversity and acceptance and he wants to be able to change people's hearts

and open their minds to what a gay man is and uses his classes, you know, to help people, he's even

used his classes to like help people come out to their families and he's just fascinating and it's really good time to be talking to him because I'm not talking about the exercise side of things which is obviously how Cody became well known but it this conversation is really interesting about kind of changing and growing and perhaps becoming, you know, we start these new years and everyone does their ins and outs, you know, what's in, what's out for 2024 and Cody is someone who has come a long way in terms of

being happy with himself as a gay man and we talk loads about that and why he's changed

and how he's changed and become happier.
