Ever wondered why your gym buddies are suddenly squatting more than they're bench pressing? Join Coach Austin and Kevin "iRab" Irabagon in a lively discussion from our revamped studio about the fresh fitness waves making their way into 2024. We're delving into the rise of men targeting those glutes and shifting the spotlight from the traditional upper body obsession to embracing comprehensive strength. Alongside, we've got anecdotes from the gym floor that'll have you in stitches – think impromptu dance-offs and prosthetic hand shenanigans. Plus, get the lowdown on why your glutes might not be responding to your workouts, and meet the 'peach daddies' who are redefining what it means to be fit as a fiddle.

But that's not all we've got poppin'! Gen Z is bringing the heat with dance workouts that would even have Richard Simmons doing a double take. We're talking about the fusion of classic cardio and modern moves that's setting the fitness world alight. With every step and beat, we're also breaking down the psychological side of staying active – it's not all about the gains, but the journey and joy that comes with it. Whether you're a barbell lifter or an Olympic lifter, there's room for you in this diverse fitness landscape. So tune in, strut your stuff, and let's celebrate personal victories without getting tripped up in the comparison game.

 We start on a light note with football talk, geeking out over the recent Niners game and the stellar performance by Deebo. But it's not all fun and games, we also delve into the serious issue of football game ticket scams, sharing some insider tips and advice.

The conversation gets even more intense as we explore the realm of weight loss drugs, with a spotlight on Ozempic. We lay bare how it works, the potential risks and why it's trending among celebrities. Plus, we share actual experiences of people who've used this drug. The good, the bad and the ugly, it's all in there. But beyond this, we question the mentality of seeking quick-fix solutions to weight loss and the dangers of relying solely on medication.

But it's not all sports and fitness chats. We also open up about our journey as new dads. We share the funniness and exhaustion that comes with it, and also our thoughts on the #DadGang hashtag. Plus, we spill some insights on coaching and motivating young athletes, including the importance of honesty and setting achievable goals. So buckle up for an episode crammed with sports talk, fitness musings, and real-life dad conversations. You're in for an entertaining and enlightening ride!

Craving some real-life talk sprinkled with a healthy dose of gym anecdotes, hilarity, and jaw-dropping revelations? Buckle up, because Coach Austin and I, Kevin, are about to take you on a wild ride through our Thanksgiving celebrations, parenting milestones, and our pet peeves about gym etiquette. We're sharing tales from our non-traditional Thanksgiving feasts (lobster, anyone?), our struggles with introducing solid foods to our babies, and our perspective on a fiery Reddit thread about a gym that dared to close on Thanksgiving Day.

We're not stopping there; we're also voicing our frustrations about individuals who bogart gym equipment without using it, and the rising trend of workout filming with tripods! We're sharing our thoughts and experiences on this growing trend, and trust us, they're not all rosy. But don't worry, we're not all about the serious talks; we throw in some laugh-out-loud anecdotes about gym regulars who need a reminder about basic gym etiquette.

Finally, brace yourselves as we take a deep dive into some truly outrageous gym stories that will make your jaws drop. Ever heard of a gym member stripping down in protest, or a housekeeper offering, well, 'extra services' in the steam room? We're talking about these and more, leaving you to ponder, how would you react if you were in our shoes? So join us, as we navigate the amusing, sometimes shocking, world of gym culture and etiquette. It's going to be a blast, we promise!

Are you ready to unravel the mystery of THC and mushroom supplements? Promising a journey of clarity, my co-host Kevin "iRab" Irabagon and I dive into the profound effects of these intriguing substances on our bodies and minds. These are not just wellness trends; they're power-packed tools that can have an impact on your fitness journey. We'll help you understand the effects of THC, from the notorious munchies to the calming effects of CBD. We'll also talk about how these habits are potentially molding our eating behaviors and the products that promise to harness their benefits.

Let's open a new chapter and compare THC with the highly raved Lion's Mane mushroom supplements. They're not only beneficial for boosting immunity and brain health, but they also potentially improve memory and focus, regulate mood, and reduce inflammation. We've got you covered - we're breaking down the evidence from studies and research to give you a well-rounded understanding of these supplements. Also, we delve into the role of THC in pain tolerance and how it could be instrumental in reducing caffeine dependence.

Lastly, we broaden the horizon to include other health trends – ginger, acai berries, and more Lion's Mane mushrooms. Learn about ginger's potential to control high blood pressure and blood sugar levels, and how acai berries have transformed from a superfood to a popular treat. We also look into the benefits of Lion's Mane mushrooms and the best ways to consume them. As we journey through this captivating discussion, we will also throw light on the potential of diabetes drugs such as Ozempic for weight loss. We wrap up our discussion with an insight into how adopting cannabis and mushrooms can truly be transformative for our fitness journey, emphasizing the importance of sustainable practices. Let's not forget a big shout-out to all our listeners for their unwavering support. So what are you waiting for? Tune in now!
