This week, I'm bringing on my friend, Ashley Mateo. Ashley is a journalist, writer, and editor. If you've ever read running content in a magazine, you're probably already familiar with her work. She's also someone who has been on some of the same adventures I've been on over the past couple of years, so I'm glad to spend some time with her again on this livestream.

We played a game where I show you a picture of a pro runner when they're wearing non-running clothes. TBH, this one is going to be real tough to listen to, as I'm terrible at describing how people look, and also, the way that I'm colorblind, Im particularly bad at describing hair color. But, we do have a nice discussion after the game about what to do with future games and future potential guests.

got a package from Craft. Plus, the internet is grumpy

Running shoe Q&A

This week's guest is Matt Choi. I first interviewed Matt about 7 or 8 months ago, but we lost that interview to technical difficulties. Here we recover some of that ground but then also venture into some bold new territory. The was one of my favorite conversations I've had on the livestream.

Got a couple packages from Tracksmith. Let's see what they are.

I show you a close up photo of a shoe. You tell me what it is. This week, we're looking at carbon plated shoes

Got a little something from Rabbit. Usually, I kinda know what's coming. But this, I have no idea.

Unboxing a package that had a secret message inside!

This week's guest is Jaeki Cho, who is a man of many titles, one of which is Brand Ambassador for On Running. We talk about life as a full-time content creator, disappointing our Korean parents, and Ali Feller and the t shirt cannon incident.
