What do the hosts talk about right after the recording starts?
Start recording. Start recording right now, Playboy. We're having a good conversation. Um, let the kid jump in when the kid jumps in. But no, we're just talking about worlds and um those in studio sessions were Yeah, the reason why I agree with you. The reason why those in studio right afterwards, because some of them previously we do some like the following day. And um some people a didn't sleep all that night. They're on so much caffeine, all wired up from like winning worlds or something, or if you didn't do well, it's still on your mind, so you can't sleep. I know what it's like. And then you come in, you're tired, and you're you belt one off, and they're still pretty good because they're person they're in person.
And there's a l there's a few of us, but there's nothing like if you can get we started doing some Right after the lifting. Right after it's done. And we did it at Powerlifting America at US Nationals. You don't got a time to think about it. You don't got time to put it in perspective. You don't got none of that. It's the raw emotion. How are you feeling right now? And you're just gonna you you haven't had time to do the propaganda in your mind. How do I spin this? Fuck, that was a bad loss.
Even that
time, yeah,
it's just gonna be honest. Yeah, or that you can just you can look at like all uh Instagram messages or what everyone's saying. You don't have time to write. The the first thing you're doing after done with the lifting, just go to the podcast. Say what you think. That's the things you want to that's the thing you want to hear.
Yeah. Agreed. Agreed. And it's um so that I think right afterwards, you know, we're talking about worlds and when to do these. I think right afterwards is best if possible. As long as, you know, there's not like a million people getting pulled all over, getting drug tested, and then it's getting super late and people gotta wake up, blah blah blah. But if we could belt it off right afterwards, I think that'd be best. Um and then there is
finished at seven or something.
Oh that's not bad. It's not bad at all. Yeah, we'll rock and roll. And they don't have to be crazy long. You know, we could we just get the pertinent key questions of the battle. And then and then whatever. And then when everyone goes home and you had time to think about it, we get all the deep we we can go deeper and and you have time to like reflect and what's next, you know. But when things just happened and there you still feel it, you're like, what happened back there? And you get like fuck you should have seen the warm-up room. Like it like it's right there for you, right? Um, I
don't know. But but Ryan, you don't have to ask me what's next. You know what's next. That's Sheffield baby.
We know what's next, Playboy. And you it's crazy. The big thing with you that's so nuts is the fact that um Austin's jumping in right now. Is the fact that you done back to back uh podiums at Sheffield? Awesome. We're recording right now, just so you know, Playboy, don't say anything too crazy, okay? Don't don't give don't give all these political views and start giving your all right? We're we're recording right now. Yeah, yeah. Try not to
try not to.
I know that's the first thing you like to do when you jump on a Zoom call is be like, hey guys, I just want to say my political views and I wanna get pretty crazy here. I wanna it's usually my intro, but that's right off. That's that's right. Okay, good. That's okay, good, good. Um but uh dude, thank you for jumping in here, Austin. I know you had a bit of a crazy day there, much appreciated. Um hundred percent, man, hundred percent. Um but yeah. Yeah, Shell, we were just talking.
