Welcome, everyone to the RP Strength Podcasts. I am Nick Shaw and joined by Dr. Mike Isretel. What's up?

Buddy.

Pal. Man, bro. Friend. Friend. Friend is definitely like you're going to start a fight with someone

if you introduce to him as a friend. Hello, friend. I. I already said that. Friend is definitely like you're going to start a fight with someone if you introduced him as a friend. Hello, friend. I'm doing well, Nick. I'm doing well. Yeah. Mike, how many sponsors do we have of the R.P. Strength podcast? How many offers? Hundreds of thousands. Literally, there's an inbox we have for offers to sponsor this podcast, and it's

broken several times because it overfilled. But how many sponsors do we actually have somewhere

between zero and two? It's a Schrodinger's cat of sponsors. Correct. We don't have any outside

companies that sponsor the podcast. However, we do have RP strength. And folks, check out the RP Diet Coach app. Help plan your nutrition and the RP hypertrophy app. Both apps, which Dr. Mike and I use on a daily basis.

Daily basis, can't do without them anymore.

Yeah, no joke.

I'm kind of waiting for some of the new kind of alpha updates on the Diet Coach app.

I know you've been using them.

I'm Android.

I know I'm like a second level citizen over here being Android, but yeah uh, yeah, no, they're, they're great. And, uh, there's a reason, you know, we've, we've had some people reach out to help sponsor the podcast or whatever. And I don't know, man, we've got our own stuff. It's like, you really want to support RP and, you know, we do all this, put all this content out for free and we've had for, I don't know, like almost five years coming up here in 24.

I think we started in 2019. We do it all for free. I mean, the YouTube's all for free, but, you know, we do it to help people research fitness goals, of course. But if you want to support, you know, we've got the two great apps that we'd highly recommend. And in the kind of show notes, there's links right there. So click them, check them out. I think the way sponsorships typically work in the worst way, is it something you know your favorite podcasters or YouTubers just have to read off before you can get to the fun. And you're like, who cares?

They're just using this to make money.

Somebody's got to pay the bills, whatever.

I'll download Dildo VPN or whatever the hell they're sponsored by.

Jay Kane, no one's going to download it, but we have to listen to it. The best way in the sponsorship thing that things work is like the podcast hosts are

YouTubers genuinely tell you

about tools that they use themselves that are fucking awesome and they highly recommend you try it.

But at RP, we've closed that circle so far that it's like, well, actually, we built these tools

and we love them and they're incredible and they pay for the podcast. So it's not really a sponsor,
