| 0:00.0 | Welcome, everyone to the RP Strength podcast. |
| 0:05.2 | I'm Nick Shaw and joined by The Lovely Dr. Mike. |
| 0:09.8 | What's up, man? |
| 0:11.0 | Of all the things I've ever been described as, |
| 0:12.7 | lovely has never been one of them. |
| 0:14.3 | And I really thank you for that. |
| 0:16.7 | How are you doing, man? |
| 0:17.4 | How are you feeling? |
| 0:18.3 | I'm just really excited about the Barbie movie coming out, |
| 1:01.2 | and I can't contain myself. Lori and I went and saw a movie yesterday, and that was one of the previews. I said, hey, like, are you going to take Emma to that? She looked at me, and she's like, no. Lori's so ruthless. She's like, no, no way. Is Emma interested in that sort of thing? I mean, I've seen the preview a few times now. It doesn't strike me as like a little girl kind of movie. You know, it's almost like a teenager grown-up kind of. Huh? You know, like that's my vibe from it. I could be completely wrong, but I've seen the preview a couple times now. I love it. That sucks. I haven't seen it yet, but I've heard a lot of buzz. Um, I'm, uh, I'm doing good, Nick.

| 1:12.7 | competitive here. And I suppose your post show. I am. It's, uh, it's pretty trippy now. |
| 1:21.3 | Um, and that's what we're going to talk about a little bit on this episode. But just real |

| 1:29.1 | opinion, when you're, like, competing and bodybuilding physique sports. Because two weeks, |
| 1:34.2 | you're like, oh, I'm close. I'm close. But those days drag on, man. Yeah, they can for sure. |
| 1:43.2 | They can drag on and on, and a day can feel like you ever want |
| 1:48.6 | time to slow down i encourage you to do a contest prep diet because you keep towards the ed man those |
| 1:53.7 | freaking minutes feel like hours sometimes the hours feel like days you're gonna be like yeah yeah |
| 1:59.5 | okay i got it let's speed this up now. |
| 2:01.5 | Time slow is all good and well. |
| 2:03.8 | Dude, yeah, it's wild. No, man, I'm excited for you. Actually, I'm going to see quite a bit the next couple weeks, so I'll be up at Michigan next week, but... Almost too much.
