| 0:00.0 | This podcast brought to you by Tailwind Nutrition. Scott, I'm gonna lay it out on the line for you. |
| 0:10.0 | Lay it out. Are you streaming? Are you mainlining Tailwind now? |
| 0:15.0 | Well, you know that there are times that I'm a little bit down on calories at work and I do have a bag that I just dip into and take a shot. |
| 0:23.0 | And you're not lying. I came into your office the other day and you weren't here and I went into your actual office. |
| 0:30.0 | Yeah. And there was a jar of Tailwind. No, a bag. A bag of Tailwind. That was open. |
| 0:36.0 | Right. That I can tell that you've just been dipping your finger in there. |
| 0:40.0 | No, no, the scoop. The scoop, Scott. That scoop, I scoop a little bit and I just throw it back in the back of the throat. |
| 0:47.0 | And I take that savory taste and I know I probably haven't tried that yet. |
| 0:52.0 | We don't start just as a friend. Okay. |
| 0:56.0 | As the guy on the corner with a with a paper bag in hand that hasn't slept in a while. Don't go there. All right. |
| 1:02.0 | You know, the one thing that I have really, really enjoy are those single-serving packages that they've made. |
| 1:11.0 | Those are so handy and convenient. It's so much easier just to grab a handful of those versus, |
| 1:16.0 | you know, going to the big packet and putting them in little ziplocks and having the possible catastrophe of that ziplock coming open and getting powder everywhere. |
| 1:27.0 | Yep. I'd like you to be marking a trail course or something with that powder. |
| 1:32.0 | In a crunch, I imagine you could take some Tailwind and help direct trail runners. If some flags were down, |
| 1:39.0 | it could be used as a way to rescue a race. And that's the Tailwind tip of the day is use Tailwind to mark the course. |
| 1:48.0 | No, we're actually very, very proud to be friends with Jenny and Tailwind and thrilled for their success. |
| 1:57.0 | I love looking at social media and seeing all the people that are finding what we found early on. |
| 2:04.0 | The Tailwind is a legit product and their useable calories. |
| 2:09.0 | There is enough sodium in there and electrolytes to keep the balance. They've done the thinking for you. |
| 2:14.0 | Yep. And it's put in, shake and go. |
| 2:17.0 | And they have never deviated from the Tailwind challenge. Go to Tailwindnutrition.com and take the challenge for crying out loud. |
