Hello and welcome to group chat. I am Justin Varyer and joining me, Rob Mahoney, Jay Kyle, man.

0:20.7

Right before we got on here, we learned that

0:23.5

this is becoming a bit of a pump pod because it's not just me who's cramming those dumbbells.

0:29.3

It seems like Kyle, you're also getting that working while you're working.

0:34.6

When you do as much sedentary watching or just, you know, you got to find it, it's a lot of eating up time. And it's like, I'll spend a lot of time with my feet up. And I'll be like, you just, you know, we were talking about it the other day. As you get a few more laps on the, on the odometer, you're just like, I need to make the best use of my time. I have tinkered with exercising while I watch, which is tricky, which is tricky.

0:58.6

I know some people will ride the bike.

1:00.7

Rob, you were saying you can't do anything while you watch.

1:34.9

See, that feels manageable to me.

1:36.8

What Kyle's describing, I'm imagining Kyle, you know, dumbbell in one arm,

1:42.3

hand on the laptop scrolling synergy with the other. Just like peak performance. You can curl while you watch. I would say you could even lightly walk while you watch. The other thing, because I tweeted out a video the other night, because I'm monitoring college and NBA, I had some questions about, like, there is a point where you watch so many games that you're watching no games.

2:01.3

I do think it can be, I don't know how you all handle that.

2:03.5

It's like a balance of like three or four and then I'll focus sound up on one.

2:08.0

You know, because just like darting around, you end up consuming nothing at some point.
