This is an IHeart podcast.

And just like that, we're back.

Another edition of the Lake Kick Extra podcast, Tuesday morning, October 5th year of Our Lord,

2021.

I got some really good questions.

We've got a loaded, dare I say, a jam-packed mailback. It's Tuesday and Thursday every morning we hit you in this very podcast feed and exclusively in this podcast feed with a really loaded mailback. Put the call to action out on Twitter last night. I said, I'm recording in 20 minutes. Give me your questions. You did. And it's kind of one of those forward, backward things, because I'm talking in past tense, even though it is last night. I'm recording late on Monday night. Let me set the scene for you, by the way. I was just thinking about how weird, or possibly weird this is. You can tell me whether you think I'm a psychopath or not.

So I come in here usually around 4.35 o'clock in the afternoon after I've worked out and I've done a lot of other stuff during the day. But I come down to the bomb shelter studio to record because I think we have the best acoustics in here. Bookmark that. I got to tell you something about the studio in just a second. And I come down here and I intend on getting everything done and being out of here before the sun goes down.

And I have down here and I intend on getting everything done and being out of here before the sun goes down.

And I have crippling amounts of procrastination just pulsing through my veins.

And so now it is 10.45 p.m. and I have finally hit the record button. I've done everything but record so far.

But here's a situation. You know I don't drink, but I do mix drinks.

I do enjoy a cocktail, just not the kind that maybe you think.

So I have next to me right now a can of Starbucks Nitro Cold Brew,

not a sponsor of the podcast.

That's the last mention.

And I also have a bottle of core power, 42 gram, complete protein. Also not a sponsor. Last time they'll be mentioned. And I also have a bottle of core power, a 42 gram complete protein. Also not a

sponsor. Last time they'll be mentioned. And what I have taken to doing to expedite my time is I have

taken to pouring the nitro into the protein and mixing it up. And I got to tell you, it's really tasty.

It gives a little kick to the protein. And so we're replenishing our muscles after a tough workout up. And I got to tell you, it's really tasty. It gives a little kick to the protein.

And so we're replenishing our muscles after a tough workout today. And also kicking in about 180 milligrams of caffeine at the same time. This works. Granted, it may be the lifestyle of a long-haul trucker, but it works. And I got a lot of truck drivers who listen to this podcast. You guys know good and well what I'm talking about. I don't need to go any further.

Grew up next door to a man who worked on 18 wheelers all his life. He drove him for a long stretch of time and he said, anything you got to do to stay awake on the road, you do. And so it's the same way in the podcast studio. In fact, I always say, and by always, I mean, this is the first time and last time I'll ever say this. Tomorrow's highways are paved with technology, meaning podcasters are the modern-day truck driver. It makes no sense. Don't think about it beneath the surface. It'll just confuse you. But as you can clearly tell, that caffeine's kicking in, so I'm ready to go. Just a little tidbit here about the studio. I think we're moving into a new one tonight. That's what I've been told. I've been teasing that all summer, and then we had construction delay, so I just stopped teasing it and hoped you forgot. Well, I'd check out Lay Kick Live tonight. Just a little whisper between you and I. I would check out Lay Kick Live tonight because I think we're moving into our new studio.

It is beautiful.
