Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to episode 177 of the MTV podcast, presented and hosted by Worldwide Cyclery, Cattle Mountain Apparel and Trail One Components. I'm Jared.

My name is Trevor. Gaspare. I was so professional. Wow. Do we have to change his voice also?

You can. My name is Juan Pablo, friends with Gzparre. That was so professional. Wow, do we have to change his voice also?

You can. My name is Juan Pablo, yeah.

I'm Juan Pablo, friends with Gasparre. That's why we're here. Amazing. Very cool. Amazing. And in this episode, we are joined by our good friends and special guests where we're going to discuss everything from mountain biking and how we use it as a tool for improving our own mental health to our favorite bikes and trails and everything in between.

That was,

cheers.

Yes.

He's a cheered. use it as a tool for improving our own mental health to our favorite bikes and trails and everything

in between. That was, cheers. Yes, he's a pro. He's a pro. He's also the, uh, cheers, guys. That's

amazing. Cheers. He's the man with the olive oil voice as well. Yeah. That is, uh, that has been known to be my

nickname on the podcast, the Man with Olive Oil Voice.

Ooh. Yes. And so we start a podcast with a couple of fun little segments. And our first one we do here is Zach's Words of Wisdom. Your habits will hold you back more than your enemies ever will. What do you think about that? I like that. That's pretty good, right? Deep. It is deep, right? Yeah, it's like 1% better every day and you can progress your life like crazy, right? Or one step forward every day? Yeah. Like you're telling me about your phone and how it helped you drop your screen time so much. Yeah. It's like, for me, that's a huge thing that holds me back personally is just getting addicted to the stupid little device in my hand, you know?

Yeah,

but you wouldn't think the first thing is identifying

what the problem is,

but then you have to actually do something about it. For sure. It's like, okay, there's a problem here. Like for me, the phone thing, I have a, we can show about, I have a, I use a minimal phone.

I have to use it for six months now.

And basically it's more about, for me,

it's about kind of setting an example.

Um, use a minimal phone. I have to use it for six months now. And basically it's more about, for me, it's about kind of setting an example, uh, because, you know, actions speak loud and words and I have a teenage son. Mm-hmm. So I'm like, I can't tell my kid to not be on the phone 24-7 if I am, because we recently gave him a phone for communication matters, right? Yeah. So it's this whole, I don't know if you guys have kids, but it's, you start like this pull and give and pull and gift. So, you know, after getting tired of just telling people what they're supposed to do, it's much easier to set an example. It's like, hey, I'm going to try this. If it works,

I might tell you about it. I'm not going to preach because that's not what I do. But, you know, like maybe you see something different. Especially for your kids. Yeah. So that's kind of why I started doing that. But it's a, I've been, honestly, I've been, I've been cutting. Can you, can you show to the camera, the phone you have now.
