Welcome back to the Strong Life podcast. This is your boy, Zach Evanesh. This is episode 526. If you guys are here for the first time, welcome aboard. Strong Life podcast is not just a podcast. It's not just information. It is a movement. It is a movement for kicking ass and taking names in the gym, in your strength training,

0:22.5

in the weight room, and in life.

0:25.2

In this episode, I have my good friend Paul Collodion.

0:28.7

We discuss three topics.

0:31.1

Number one, we discuss the football incident that I posted on my Instagram,

0:35.7

where a 300 plus pound football player basically does like a flying body slam on his opponent.

0:44.2

1:06.1

So a lot of truth bombs there about why we're not kicking ass like we once did. And then we talk about

what does it take to get back on track, whether it's advices for parents of athletes,

1:25.8

are going to be bothered by it, probably because talking about them.

1:30.5

And a lot of, you know, intense times going on in our country.

1:36.2

And so some intense stuff.

1:39.9

I'll just leave it at that.
