0:00.0	Hey, everyone. Welcome to that triathlon life podcast. I'm Eric Lockstrom.
0:03.9	I'm Paula Finley. I'm Nick Goldstone.
0:06.9	We have got a special episode for you today. This is one of a three-part series, I guess you could say,
0:14.0	where we're going to be checking in with three of our development team athletes and a little bit of a look back at their season and just a little bit of a chit-chat.
0:22.2	This week, we're kicking things off with John Reed, our guy representing at the WTCS level.
0:30.8	So if you're new here, Paul and I are both professional athletes.
0:35.3	Nick is a professional musician, amateur athlete,
0:38.0	and we like talking about triathlon and multi-sport and stuff and things.
0:41.9	So welcome.
0:43.7	Eric, do we want to have John on first, or do we want to get a little warmed up?
0:47.9	I'm feeling pretty warm, but if you need to get warmed up, by all means.
0:51.2	Sometimes the way that I get warmed up is by humiliating you in front of our entire podcast audience. Yeah, I'm aware. All right. Let's do it. T.TL Spelling Bee. Wow. We haven't done a spelling bee in a long time. Yeah, I'm feeling, I don't know if I'm ready for this, but I'll give it my best shot. Okay, well, here we go. And the topic this week is pharmaceuticals. You're going to have to figure out how to spell pharmaceuticals. That's not fair. These aren't real words. There's no such thing as a real word. All words are made up, and these are just as made up as the rest. And Eric, I think you can take a challenge. Am I certain with pharmaceuticals? No. Geez, I don't even have that one ready and I certainly can't fact check the
1:32.5	spelling of the word pharmaceuticals. Okay, that's fine. The first one here is commonly known as
1:39.1	Advil. The drug name is ibuprofen. How do you spell ibuprofen?
1:45.7	I-b-U-P-R-O-F-E-N.
1:46.6	Nailed it.
1:47.2	Great.
1:47.9	Good start.
2:02.6	That was the easiest one, though. The next one is commonly known as Tylenol, and the drug name is acetametifin. A-C-E-M-O-F-E-N. A C-E-T-A-M-I-N-O-P-H-E-N.
2:04.4	Yeah, I missed like a whole syllable in there. You did. A C-E-T-A-M-I-N-O-P-H-E-N.
2:02.7	Yeah, I missed like a whole syllable in there.
2:04.5	You did, you did.
