Summary

In a “just us” episode, we take a look at a couple articles claiming to track the top fitness trends for 2020 – notably one from Men’s Health. Will personal trainers really be like rock stars in 2020? Are you really working out hard enough to need an extensive recovery plan, or is a regular good night’s sleep enough? Is mental/emotional health really, finally, going to be on par with physical health and fitness? We start by talking about the personal, and cultural, impacts of the deaths of Kobe Bryant and his fellow passengers lost in Sunday’s helicopter crash. How did Kobe change after retirement? Is it possible to be too driven? When people publicly mourn the death of a celebrity, what are people really reacting to? Listener deals: Someone in your life needs flowers!
