Welcome to the Crushing Iron Triathlon Podcast. I'm Mike and I'm here with Coach Robbie.

And today, what the heck are we going to talk about politics?

Yes, definitely. I think we should really focus on the Electoral College and all the devices in this in America. I think we could, I think that's the greatest, greatest way for us to really, you know, unite our podcast's following of four. Yeah. And like Bukowski said, right? He said it best.

He did.

I've never, I've never, it is, it is strong.

It's a conversation I have with every new athlete I have,

even current athlete is like, hey, if you, am I going to tell you to not do a

marathon?

Absolutely not.
