i'm joined with mr chris mcculkin aka tex howdy and we have dr matt zanis here dropping

in thanks for having me yeah welcome to episode 517 of Power Athlete Radio. And I'm stoked that you're here, Doc. So I heard that you have some questions. Instead of calling in and leaving them on the hotline, you decided just to show up in person with your hotness and drop us some questions.

Is this true?

Bringing all the heat today. Yeah. Well, 929-464. 464. 0. 929. In-ing. Zero. Yeah, that's the number for our hotline. I like the fact that you just kicked the door in and said, hey, you know what? I got questions, you got answers. Let's drop them. So let's open up this segment with Ask Us Anything.

You know, I am a long-time listener. questions, you got answers, let's drop them. So let's open up this segment with Ask Us Anything.

You know, I am a longtime listener of the podcast. I know you are. 2011, actually, to date it.

But yeah, I actually went out and asked my cohort of people for some questions for this podcast.

And we got a bunch of them. I think these are really good philosophical, thought thought-provoking questions and i'm excited to get after them oh well let's uh let's launch

in all right first one you ready yeah ready ready okay what does it mean to get a seat at the table

versus expecting an infight so that's kind of a big table or a big thought.

Like when you think of the table, what are we really looking at?

Are you talking about like within strength conditioning?

Are you talking about within your family?

Are you talking on a global scale?

And I think that every person has to establish that for themselves.

Like what does it mean to be sitting at a table with your peers and considered to be, you know,

friends and family or more importantly, an influential person that deserves to have a voice.

When you, when you actually just said it right now, two things came to mind. One was the program,

you know, our boy Latimer. Uh-huh. See you to the table. What for those guys, they sat at different tables. They're starting defense sat at a table at meals. They're starting offense at a table at meals. So there was like a seat specific for him. So it was not only a metaphoric thing that he was, you know, on the starting defense, but it was a physical seat at the table. And then the other thing is I've always been a fan of the Arthurian Legends.
