I live on the third floor in my building now. Dude must have got freaking shredded carrying those bells up there, dude. Now I'm just tossing this around. I'm feeling powerful, dude. Feeling very powerful. It's helping out my golf game. I'm getting more distance, dude. It's nice. I'm just walking around, just freaking arms bowed out, dude. talk to my GF, like we need to move again. We need another bedroom, dude. Don't have enough room in this apartment for my delts right now, dude. But truth be told, I am struggling a little bit to use them. I am having to gradually build them in. It's pretty tough. You know, don't want to strain the back. Don't want to, you know, do anything too wild. Don't want to get a hernia, dude.

1:14.6

Definitely. It's pretty tough. You know, don't want to strain the back. Don't want to, you know, do anything too wild. Don't want to get a hernia, dude. Definitely don't want to do that because, you know, don't want to slow down, dude. Got to get out there on the course. You know what I mean? Dude, got to get there on the links and cut deals. I'm fully becoming, I remember like, when I first moved to L.A., I was like, dude, if I ever have a six pack in the fridge, a bruise, dude, let me know, dude, because I'll never have that. Like, after a tough day I work, like, I want a gatorade, dude. But now it's like, no, I love having my dipas. And I love getting out on the links. Dude, I'm just becoming a classic, just a vintage dude, you know?

1:46.6

Just what all white dudes become.

1:49.2

I basically just love the golf course and dip us, dude.

1:53.9

And maybe that's all dudes.

1:55.3

And if it is, hell yeah, I'm stoked because we all got that in common.

1:58.2

And I'm extra stoked because right now, through watching the YouTube video, you will notice that I'm using this arm, dude. Aaron, I got some dumbbells in the mail. And Aaron, you got like this dank podcasting arm in the mail. Are you stoked on this or what? I mean, we'll see. I hope so. I mean, it's pretty sick, dude. I'm standing up right now in case you can't feel. I don't know if you can hear the energy coming through the frame right now. If you're just on your commute to work or wherever you're listening, dude, just freaking posting up, dude, I can go on a bed listening to this so you can relax, dude. I like to get fired up and then relax when I get fired up, dude. What relaxes me is knowing that the next day I'm going to wake up and get stuff done, dude. You know what I mean? Just wake up first thing in the morning. What am I going to do, dude? Going to take an Austin Power style leak. Hopefully not wake my GF up, so I'll sit down to do do so and then I'm going to make that coffee French

2:51.2

French press style and then I'm going to go park whips and score fat tips dude you feel that

2:56.5

energy dude coming through I'm right now I'm in a three-quarter I'm in an athletic stance dude

3:01.4

hips a little bit back dude balanced frame right here just just slapping my my shoulder even though

3:07.4

I want to be slapping the thighs. Aaron, how many podcasts have you ever been on the sticks for where the host is just in a nice athletic stance while podcasting? You know, not enough. Agreed. That's for sure. Agreed. I mean, right now I can move anywhere. There's no guests here. Basically, this is the golf of podcasting. You know, like right now I do want to play D. I want to play some one-on-one, you know, defense right here. But, you know, some more just me against the course, me against the elements, dude. You know, me against the mic, the pod here, you know, triple threat stance right here, you know, shoot past dribble, but I guess the triple threat of podcasting would just be like, I don't know, witty,

3:41.9

witty retort don't know,

3:41.6

witty, witty retort, you know, salient, salient piece of information with possible humorous twist and then pseudo self-deprecating story. That's the triple thread of the pod, you know, oh, which way am I going? Whoa. Coming with a pun. Oh, interesting. Well, that reminds me of, a time where I did, you know, something a little bit embarrassing,
