Listener Q&A:

As compiled, deciphered, edited and sometimes read by Brock Skywalker Armstrong, the Podcast Sidekick and Audio Ninja.

Five Fitness Tips For Newlyweds

Robbie asks: He is calling on behalf of your biggest fan (and his soon to be wed brother) Marco. He and Marco's fiancé Jasmine are wondering what your top marriage tips are for someone who loves all things triathlon, nutrition and Ben Greenfield.

In my response I recommend: -These partner exercises

Using Jack Daniel's Running Formula

Ignacio asks: He keeps reading and hearing that a lot of ultra trail runners train based on Elevation & Time rather than based on Distance. He is currently training for a rather hilly 50k trail run and would like to know the best way to incorporate elevation and time into his training?

In my response I recommend: -Jack Daniel's Running Calculator

Morning vs. Evening Workouts

Rick asks: He knows from listening to the podcast that working out in the afternoon is optimal but if he must workout in the morning, what are the factors he needs to consider to optimize that morning workout?

In my response I recommend: -Glycerin suppository

Benefits of Protein Fasting

Troy asks: He has heard that eating less than 15 grams of protein in a day can activate certain detox pathways. He couldn't find any scientific research on it but he has heard that you should do "protein fasting" once a week. What do you think? How often should you do it and what are the benefits or doing it?

In my response I recommend: -Amino acids capsules or amino acids powder

How To Fix Bad Posture From Working On A Computer

Rachel asks: She has very bad posture ever since she was in university from slumping over at a desk. It seems really impossible for her to reverse. She doesn't know if it is from lower back muscle disuse or what... but what do you recommend for fixing bad posture?

Uh, no. I'm a moving truck back in. Oh, yes, you're alluding to your creatively alluding to the fact that I am surrounded by moving boxes right now.

1:13.6

It was going to make it sound like a box. I thought I'd choose the truck instead. Yeah, box sounds are tough. I got it now. I get the truck.

1:21.2

My humor is just too high, bro. That's what the moving truck sound like in Canada, huh?

1:26.6

Yes. I don't think this is the dude. It's a French guy strapped at the back of the truck yelling.

1:34.2

Doesn't he yell at a French accent? So it's a little more like, oh, I'm saying French.

2:09.5

Inside the French guy strapped to the back of the moving truck. What's the best part?

2:14.0

My new office is soundproofed. So yeah. Not all dogs barking. No more children screaming in the background.

2:22.7

Yeah. It looks out into the forest and the tamaractories and everything and it's soundproofs and the toilets flushing or dogs barking.

2:30.3

So it'll be nice. Hey, do anybody who hasn't listened to the latest obstacle Dominator podcast?

2:35.9

If you listen closely when nobody's talking, you can hear crickets.

2:38.8

I don't know who's in that was on, but it was it was very soothing.

2:43.3

That's actually the sound of our complete lack of listeners to that podcast.
