This episode of the outside podcast is brought to you by Sonos, maker of the Sonos Rome, the portable smart speaker for all of your listening adventures.

Like just about everyone. For me, this summer is about getting out into the world.

My favorite new habit is the simple picnic, kicking back in a park with family and friends, playing a little music.

The room is the perfect blue tooth speaker for the occasion.

It's smaller than a biking water bottle, weighs less than a pound, and yet it delivers the kind of deep, full sound you'd expect from a much bigger speaker.

And because the room is drop resistant and pervious to dust and even waterproof, you don't have to worry when your outing goes totally sideways because of a bee.

Now you got it angry.

I've taken the room to the beach, brought it on my little boat, and thrown it in my pack for all types of excursions.

With automatic true play tuning, it adapts to the surroundings for a sound that's always astonishingly clear and balanced.

No matter what else is happening around.

From outside magazine, this is the outside podcast.

So if I were to run into you at the gym and you're working out, like, how much are you sweating?

What does that look like?

I mean, you're basically just going to see a guy who's drenched.

When I'm on a treadmill at a gym, I mean, I'm just pouring buckets that sweat is not only getting on my own treadmill.

It's gotten onto the neighboring treadmill.

So I swear I've had people move away from me at the gym because I'm just showering them inadvertently.

I sometimes feel like I'm actually creating my own ambient weather system in the gym, like my own little microclimate.

It's a salty, hot, humid microclimate.

He's a committed amateur athlete, the author of some awesome bestselling books, and also a very sweaty dude.
