| 0:07.1 | Jonathan Lee and to my right we have Amber Pierce from canondale pro racing and trainer road. Yeah. Hi everybody. Good to have you Amber our head coach |
| 0:14.8 | Chad Zimmerman. Everyone hands are CEO Nate Pearson. Hello. We've recently been talking about the lighting in this room and you saw Nate coming in. I think he was |
| 0:22.6 | talking about the bags under the ice. So it's not working pairing because they're much less. You can join us on the podcast live on YouTube. It's usually every Thursday at |
| 0:32.4 | AM Pacific with some cases where we say that we are not going to be on at that time. We announced that the week before and then you can see the said lighting and |
| 0:39.9 | everything else. You can let us know if we need to improve the lighting in the room. So it's really important details. And along those notes actually another very important |
| 0:48.0 | news Nate Pearson you are on Instagram now. I am somebody on Instagram said wow you look younger there. So I said the lighting. Yeah. So you're at N Pearson 99. Yep. And Pearson is PE. Yeah, spread like a pair. |
| 1:04.8 | Yeah. Yeah. And people can go on there. It's been funny to see. So first of all, I think I don't know if you had a bit of some help in what I posted. No, no, no, I want to actually don't have a plan to run through every post. |
| 1:17.1 | Okay. So yeah. But you'll get behind the scenes looks at really kind of what Nate does Nate. It's funny. We were actually in the process of copywriting and we're talking about the host of the podcast. |
| 1:32.0 | And we didn't know a professional way to really say this on the site because we're looking at wait. Nate's like the guinea pig, right? Like and because the fact that |

| 1:49.0 | Is he not self-experimented more flatter. They're not even experimenting. I'm going to go less. No, I'm not sure what my stream is going to be. What people have said is pretty much in general, |
| 1:59.9 | just let Nate be Nate. Yeah. |
| 2:02.1 | And I do so many things that are like pseudoscience are like not like barely but never experiments by the way. |
