0:00.0	Hey friends, before we jump into today's episode, I want to tell you about my brand new hangboard.
0:07.9	I'm so stoked about it. It's called The Nug. This is a collaboration with frictitious climbing.
0:13.4	I've had this hangboard design in my head for years. It's super portable. It's the best portable
0:19.3	hangboard I've ever used. I'm obviously biased,
