Golden Axe is now out on Paramount Plus! We spoke with co-creators and showrunners Mike McMahan and Joe Chandler about the show. We dove into what it means as storytellers to work in a fantasy setting and more. We also spoke with Danny Pudi and Carl Tart about their respective roles in the show. We discussed what it takes to craft a distinct voice for each character they embody. The show is another instant classic, which I expected from the former Mike McMahan and Joe Chandler shows. The mix of humor and heart makes this a must-watch for fans of the original Sega series and newcomers alike. Even though I played the games when I was younger, I was unfamiliar with the world's lore, but I had no trouble diving headfirst into the show. Plenty of references and easter eggs cater to longtime fans of the SEGA series, but it never feels inaccessible. The cast is stacked with some of the best voice talent working in the business, with Emmy Award winners like Matthew Rhys or the absolutely hilarious improv god Lisa Gilroy. It makes for an extremely fun watch, with plenty of sword-swinging action and all the emotion you expect from a McMahan show.  

In this episode of The Quality Hub, Chatting with ISO Experts, Xavier Francis is joined by Suzanne Strausser, Vice President of Operations at Core Business Solutions, for the first part of a two-part conversation on ISO 9001 implementation and certification. They break down what a Quality Management System really is, where organizations should begin when implementing ISO 9001, how to identify and address gaps, and why effective implementation is about improving the way the business operates—not simply creating paperwork or preparing for an audit. Suzanne also shares practical guidance on documentation, process mapping, leadership involvement, and more as well as deciding whether ISO 9001 compliance or third-party certification is the right path for your organization.   Helpful Resources: How is ISO 9001 Implemented?:  https://www.thecoresolution.com/how-is-iso-9001-implemented For All Things ISO 9001:2015: https://www.thecoresolution.com/iso-9001-2015 Contact us at 866.354.0300 or email us at info@thecoresolution.com A Plethora of Articles: https://www.thecoresolution.com/free-learning-resources ISO 9001 Consulting: https://www.thecoresolution.com/iso-consulting

He might very well be the most entertaining player in Major League Baseball, and he is certainly one of our favorite guests. His name is Mike Vasil, Chicago White Sox pitcher who has managed to entertain and motivate an entire team and fan base despite being sldelined by injury throughout the 2026 season. Mike's presence and contributions were why his Mom, Kathy, threw out the first pitch at Rate Field over the weekend. It was a perfect time for Bradfo to catch up with Kathy Vasil to reflect on her son's journey, the origins of his unique presence and personality, and how she felt about being put in the limelight in Chicago. It's a perfect baseball (and life) conversation.

The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. Christopher S. Penn: In this week’s In Ear Insights. This is the age of AI, where there is more information than ever, more data than ever, more everything than ever before. And yet behind the scenes, when we were prepping for this episode today, Katie, I said, hey, what would you like to talk about today? And your response was, I have no idea. Let me ask you a couple of different questions. One, is it that the material recovering feels like it’s been done before, or is it also that there’s just so much to choose from that you end up with what Barry Schwartz calls the paralysis of choice? Katie Robbert: Yes. So let me pull those apart. So much is changing in the field of AI and where we focus down in on with analytics, marketing, operations, and helping businesses. We do such a good job of thoroughly exploring topics, and the process that we have for creating content is so efficient that we can churn out a lot of it very quickly. So I feel like personally, the things that we would cover that are relevant to our business and relevant to our audience now there’s always another stone to turn over. But then you start getting really deep into the weeds. And where I wrestle is do you start alienating parts of your audience to really focus on those very specific niche pieces? To the other part of the question? Yes, I do feel like there’s so much information. Again, this is sort of the side effect of generative AI that you sort of become numb and blind to all of the information because there’s so much. I remember when we worked at the agency and you used to produce this report, I think it was yearly, on the number of pieces of content created. And you know, this was prior to generative AI, this was just the number would go up exponentially year over year. And you know, I can’t even imagine what that number would be now. And just sort of seeing the uptick. And so I don’t, I feel like I’m deep in the weeds of stuff that I’m working on day to day in the business. Part of it is I’m like, I don’t know if anybody would even care to hear about this, if it even resonates or if it makes sense or if we’re supposed to be doing that big thinking and like introducing new concepts and you know, doing the thought leadership of what’s happening with AI and analytics. Here’s the thing about analytics. There’s only so many ways. There’s a lot of ways to analyze data, but there’s only so many ways to analyze data. And so I feel like at this point, unless a brand new analysis methodology is invented, which I could happen, but I feel like we’re pretty good, we’re solid, you know, it’s not worth talking about again. But I could be wrong. I could just be having a very blah Monday morning where I’m like very feeling very existential of like, what’s the point of any of it? Christopher S. Penn: Which, given the macro picture, which is a totally separate podcast, is true. In the catalog of analytics that we use, that I use, there’s about 1400 techniques that span 22 disciplines, everything from weather forecasting to agronomy and agriculture and stuff like that. And one of the things that I was talking about this weekend in my own personal newsletter was how limited marketers are in their choice of analytics when you use AI, because AI naturally gravitates to what we’ve already written about. So we’ll talk about attribution analysis, we’ll talk about social media marketing, we’ll talk about impressions. Our advisor, Ginny Dietrich’s most hated measurement of all ad value equivalents. And these are all associated statistically, probabilistically in these AI tools with marketing analytics. So if you say, hey ChatGPT, I need some marketing analytics help with this, you know, Google Analytics data source, it will give you the most probable things which will be old hat. Like, it will be like, oh, have you tried doing, you know, basic trend analysis? Like, yes. Have you tried doing time series analysis? Yes. Right. And that is a blind spot that AI can never overcome because of its nature as a probability based tool. You, the human, have to have the largeness of vision and the vocabulary to say, hey, you know, chat GPT or co pilot or whatever. I’ve got this issue here and I’m having trouble understanding what’s driving the set of changes. What analytics techniques from agriculture and agronomy might be a good fit for this data and suddenly be like, I know all about agronomy, which it does. And have you tried pairwise combination holdout? And you’re like, what is even? I don’t even know what those words mean. Katie Robbert: Nope. And I hear what you’re saying and I feel like we’ve talked about versions of this where in order to get the most out of the tools you have, you really have to be curious and thinking outside of the box and that’s something, Chris, that you do very well. That’s one of your strongest professional attributes is you say, where can I look outside of this lens and see like and pull out like agriculture. So I don’t think that’s the default thinking for most. Take marketing out of it. For most people, it’s like I’m looking at a problem. I’m trying to figure out why my bread dough isn’t rising. Let me look at the fashion industry and see what I can learn from that. About, like, it doesn’t make sense because it feels like putting square pegs in round holes and I don’t know, maybe that’s sort of where I’m stuck, is maybe I’m not someone who’s good at looking outside of. Like, I’m a very rules and process oriented person. I like things to be predictable. So perhaps for me, that’s where I struggle with this concept of I’m trying to analyze my marketing data. How does agriculture do it? Like that to me is just like, why would I ever do that? That seems ridiculous to me. That’s not how this rule works. And so that’s definitely not one of my strengths. Which again is why you and I are very complimentary in our strengths and weaknesses. And you know, I just went. When we come back to the purpose of today’s podcast, I feel like, you know, maybe that’s where thinking about topics to talk about is where I’m struggling because I feel like I’m a fairly creative person. But I also, I remember I started taking art classes in first grade and went all the way through 10th grade of high school. And I, my skill set really didn’t progress. It really wasn’t something that, like, it was something I wanted to be good at. But I just, I’m not an overly creative person. I’m creative when it comes to problem solving. But I feel like I also have a really Good toolbox. But if you start to say, okay, your toolbox is now going to contain these things that belong in, you know, biochemistry and welding, those are not industries I know a lot about. I’m like, nope, I don’t want that in my toolbox because I can’t, I don’t understand it. I don’t get it. I don’t know. There’s a lot of like therapy for me this morning. Christopher S. Penn: Well, what you’re describing is the difference between inductive and deductive reasoning. So as a rules based person, you would be a deductive reasoning person. You have a set of rules and principles and concepts in a domain that you break down to specific conclusions. If we think about the 5P framework by Trust Insights is exactly that. Five different areas, purpose, people, process, platform, performance that have governing principles for each of these. And you could take that general thing and distill it down for any problem that you run into, right? And say, okay, how can I make this. We’ve you’ve talked about even making it a prompt framework for AI because it’s so good at it. The opposite is called inductive reasoning where you say, I got a bunch of stuff, it’s all very confusing, it’s all not related. What is in common? And so for example, if you look at agronomy and weather forecasting and econometrics and marketing, what is the through line, the weird thread that goes through all of them for marketing analytics, and that is math, right? The mathematical techniques that each discipline has to use that are different from discipline to get to the answers. And so inductive reasoning says, can we find those threads from these crazily not related fields, hold on those threads and turn them into something like, oh, we can use this in marketing. We have data that resembles this. How do we adapt it? And so that’s the difference. And so when we look at like content creation, saying what are we going to talk about today? If we start from that deductive reasoning perspective of, well, we’ve done AI 18 ways to Sunday. We’ve done prompting, you know, 22 ways to Sunday. Well, they’re left to do that is a deductive perspective. And there’s, that is a great way to do it because you cover everything. The inductive way is okay, say okay, this is what you flip to when you’re like, we’ve done it all, what’s left? Okay, now you flip to inductive reasoning. Say what about this weird edge case over here? Let’s pull that apart and see where it leads. Katie Robbert: Well, I mean, and this aligns with what we always joke about, that you know, what will be written on your tombstone is what does this button do? You know, and there’s a part of me that wishes I was a little bit more open, more curious, you know, I feel like I am, but at the same time, not nearly as much as I could be in terms of, you know, in this context of like breaking out of what I know. And so what kinds of advice would you give to someone like me who, to your point, like, if I do the deductive reasoning and I cover all the different known angles, you know, and I think about things from a risk averse lens, what advice would you give to someone like me to then find ways to turn on some of that inductive reasoning when I need it? Christopher S. Penn: You can generally teach inductive reasoning in a couple ways. The one of the things, and this is very important, what you just said, you said from that risk averse lens, that’s the first switch that has to flip is to say, okay, you can do exploration if you can cycle, give yourself a sense of psychological safety that you’re not taking a risk. Like going out and reading random stuff on Reddit and things or people you don’t Normally follow on LinkedIn is not a risk. It can feel like a risk because it can feel like distraction, it can feel like confusion, but it’s not a risk. And so, one of the things you have to find for yourself, I don’t know how to do it, is to say, okay, let’s create a sense of psychological safety that says it’s okay to go look under this, under the stone. You may not like what’s under there, but it’s not dangerous to you. And the second thing is those fringe edge cases where, and this is where, like, LinkedIn is a terrible place to spend time because everyone is stuck in the same bucket, right? We’re all talking about, oh, AI is going to do this. Sam Altman did this. And it’s the same theme over and over again. You have to leave that and go to the fringes, go other places. Reddit is a good place because there’s, it’s a different set of fringes. Talking to our friends and colleagues, right? Chatting with them in group texts and stuff is a great place to do that, where you start to hear very specific edge cases. You’re like, oh, we’ve never run into that before one of the things. So it was really interesting. I did a drawing for my newsletter for filling out a survey back in July. And the giveaway was a one hour. Ask me anything private. And the conversation I had with the person was an industry that we don’t work in at all, like heavy industrial marine stuff. And just. And I learned as much as I talked, like, oh, I didn’t know that was a thing. And those, all those weird little edge cases was like, that’s interesting. And so that might be a possible antidote too, is to say, like, you know what spend. Say, I’m going to spend an hour talking to this person over here. I. Who we’re probably not going to do business with them. We’re pro. I’m. I’m not there to drum up business. I’m there to say, what kind of weird stuff are you running into that maybe wouldn’t cross my desk. Katie Robbert: H. I hear you. I think, you know, I like the idea of, you know, doing more reading outside of what you’d normally read. I agree that LinkedIn is very homogenous, very bland. The challenge. And, you know, this could be again, my own personal bias and my, you know, I like the term that emotional safety. Because if I’m being honest, that’s a big part of it is it’s not that I don’t feel safe talking about things outside of what we’ve talked about. And perhaps this, you know, this is all just sort of like a, you know, a horse of a different color is that I get concerned that if we stray too far from what our audience wants to hear about, they won’t come back. And that’s, you know, that could be my own personal concern and anxiety about it. And maybe they’re like, no, give me something different. You know, there’s really only one way to find out and that’s to ask them. So if you want to pop over to our free Slack community analytics marketers and let us know. But to your point, you really. What I’m hearing you say is it’s breaking outside of those comfort zones, those routines, which admittedly is not something I am personally great at. I’m very introverted. But reading outside of what I normally read and interacting with people online is not so uncomfortable that I can’t do it. I just need to make more of an effort to do it because then it’s, you know, it’s making sure that we’re staying in touch with things outside of our own little bubble. It’s a big reason why we have the community that we have. So know a little bit of tongue in cheek like join our free Slack community but at the same time join our free Slack community because we need it just as much as the people who are joining need it. So that we’re not just locked into well this is what we’re doing. This is how we’ve always done it. So this is how it shall be. End of sentence. Like I think that by asking the question of the day it that’s partly to understand like what’s going on in your world, what are you dealing with, what are you, what’s your perspective? And I’m always not. A question goes by and we ask them every single day that I’m not like huh, that’s interesting or I never would have thought of it that way. And I think that’s such an important thing. But I never thought of that in this context. Chris of that inductive reasoning of trying to find that sort of like through line through different topics. Christopher S. Penn: I will show, I will share with you an interesting observation about our analytics from Market Slack group. There’s a, there’s a topical split by gender. When you look at the questions people ask, even that itself is interesting. You know the, the people who are male identifying tend to be asking very technical questions. Hey, I’m doing this with this agent framework and you know, what’s the best? And the people who identify as female typically asking about outcome based things like you know, what’s better for getting this done. I need to get, accomplish these things. And so one of the things because obviously, you know, equality in general is important to us, but gender equality is very important to us as a company. You might want us to do privately, quietly reach out to some of the individual women in our community to say like hey, I’d love to have a one hour private, ask many things, I just want to know what’s going on. Talk to the folks who are already reasonably talkative in the community and just see what’s happening at the edge cases of their Worlds. You have Dr. Leslie who spends a lot of time on psychology and research. You have Hannah, you have Minion who spends a lot of time on writing in AI. And that’s where you can be reasonably assured of a psychologically safe experience and still get some really cool edge cases. Katie Robbert: Yeah, I think if I’m being honest, I would probably start with Reddit forums or something like that just because that’s for me the path of least resistance and doesn’t take extra coordination and time to figure out how to, you know, book this conversation with someone. But again, that’s all, you know, minor details, but. In general, you know, so let’s say every week we sit down to record the podcast. And every week I know you’re going to ask me, hey, what do you want to talk about this week? I mean, that’s just how it goes, you know. And I appreciate that you give me the opportunity to propose a topic versus it just being, you know, led by whatever you’re reading that week, which often happens because I’m like, whatever, sometimes I have a topic. You know, tell me a little bit about your process for like you mentioned agriculture and some other industry that I’ve never heard of. And I’m guessing I haven’t had a chance to read your newsletter yet for full disclosure. No, I mean, and I do. It’s on my list for later today. Is it more that like you look at like a list of something, you go, I don’t know about that. That’s interesting. Let me learn more. Or is like does it sort of organically just come up because you’re like searching for something and it just sort of leads you down a rabbit hole? Like what does your process kind of look like? Christopher S. Penn: It’s both. It is both. This past week though was on idea transfer. So I ha. I shared some prompts, some basic prompts to look at four level naics codes which are like profession codes, oil and gas extraction for example. And I said to the soft to I was using deep seek for this. Go and find the professional academic conferences for each of these professions out of the 340 professions and then find the award winning papers from 2025 and 2026 for each conference if they had one, and end up with like 300 some odd papers that all won gold medals at their events. And so download those papers and then start extracting out what are the key lessons that we could transfer into marketing and marketing analytics, especially from these award winning papers. And some of them there wasn’t, you know, some of them it was like a position paper. But there were a lot of very technical research studies like oh, that’s really cool. Like how the European. I forget what the organization name is, but it’s the European Council of Weather Forecasting and their new neural ensembling system for better weather forecasts. I’m like, that’s clever. Instead of trying to fit a neural model on an overall forecast to fitting neural models on individual components of forecast because they can forecast better those specific components and then glue the forecast together instead of trying to ensemble the whole thing. It’s like, you know, instead of trying to. People screw this up a lot. Westerners tend to try and make fried rice all in one big wok and your home stove can’t get that hot. So you cook each set of ingredients individually and then you mix it all together. That’s this, essentially this version of ensembling. Don’t try to make fried rice all at once. Make each of the components, get them each right individually and then you can just literally mix it all together. Katie Robbert: Well, at least I know I’m making fried rice correctly. Thank goodness for that. I’m taking the win today. But that’s an example. So the topic was how would you make it a. A fully AI written newsletter with no human intervention whatsoever that would still be valuable. And so I had it to a test run and the example was that pairwise combinations for agriculture. I read the newsletter of IT generator. Like crap. This is a really good idea. Like I gotta go figure out how to do this. I was reading the results as I was recording my, the newsletter on video. I’m like, this is really smart. Like it should be. It won an award. But like I can totally see how this applies specifically to social media marketing. Christopher S. Penn: Interesting. Which comes back to you have to have expertise in something in order to be able to, you know, apply it. So you know, I know what I know about running a business. I know what I know about operations and process and all that. So it’d be interesting to see what I can find outside of the lanes that I know, you know, because it tends to feel like, well, process is process. There’s only one way to do process. And I’m assuming that’s just not true. And so I need to look at what that could mean. I have no idea. And I think this is where my risk averse brain starts to kick in. I’m like, well if you have no idea where you’re going, you don’t have the time to waste to just sort of start exploring. You have other things that you have to do to keep the business running. And I think that’s just sort of a time and resources but also a mind shift thing. Because yeah, I have to keep the business running. Do I have the luxury of time to just sort of do some exploration? I don’t know. I’m hoping to find some because I feel like that would make me a better leader if I could. Katie Robbert: And you’re like, yeah, you could be A better leader. Way to go. Christopher S. Penn: Everybody has the opportunity to better. You could, if you wanted to and you didn’t want to spend a ton of time on it directly, you could purchase. Well, you know, you don’t have to purchase it, but yeah, the new deep research suite from the Trust Insights Academy, which helps automate a lot of the research process. And where I would suggest that you start is in the epidemiology around opiates and stuff like that. Because you used to work in that field. You know it like the back of hand. But it’s been 20 years. Yeah. What’s, what’s happened? What papers have come out in that field in the last even five years that, where the math has changed, where AI has changed that field. And you can go, oh, I know how we used to do it and I know how AI does it now based on these award winning papers. Holy crap, things are different. And I can take this, what I know from back then and what is steady state now, current state now, and go. I can apply that learning of how AI has changed that field to what, running our business. Katie Robbert: Yeah, that’s interesting. That actually already gives me a couple of places to start because I think about a few of the clinical trials that were running and they were so manual because it just was, it was just manual. That’s how it was 20 years ago. And so like hand coding things and human raiders and all of that, which at the time was fine. We didn’t know any different because there wasn’t anything different. This morning we had a lead file of 150 leads that needed augmentation and I had an AI go in and label it all and it took under 20 minutes. And I ran it locally. It didn’t have to use the cloud at all for it. And so that’s today. Yeah. It reminds me of when I was trying to do lead gen for the sales team at that same organization and I stumbled across a publicly available database of substance abuse clinicians and it needed cleaning up and it needed like all this stuff and it was just a manual process and it took me a couple of weeks to do it before I could even hand it off to the sales team. And then those ungrateful jerks were like, what do you mean there’s not an email address? And I was like, you got a phone number? Pick up the phone. What do you want from me? But anyway, yeah, it is definitely interesting. So I think I don’t do that often enough. I really try to stay grounded in like what’s right in front of me. And I think that maybe looking in the past of like what I had done, what I have accomplished might help at least get some of this started. Christopher S. Penn: Exactly. There’s a lot of. There’s a lot that’s changed. But you having that previous subject matter of expertise means that it will be easier to dip your toes in that specific angle on that discipline rather than going to like agronomy where you’re like, I don’t even know what any of these words mean because like what is this? This yield, you know, yield per field thing.

I love me a good, unlikely hero. Chatting with Lucas and Shauna Fischhaber gave me a new one to root for. Listen in and see why I'm eager to read Gathering Storms. note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you.  The world, the plans, the way Lucas and Shauna interact and brainstorm--it was awesome! Gathering Storms by Lucas Fischhaber As storms descend, who will rise? Amber Veloré never asked to be a hero. A daughter of the forest, her gift for taming wild creatures should have been enough. But when a legendary griffin crashes into her world on her nineteenth Crossing Day-majestic, wounded, and brimming with primal fury, a creature beyond even her ability-her quiet life shatters. To the villagers of Thunder Ridge, the griffin is a curse, a living reminder of the Haze, a storm-born terror that cannot be contained. To the ruthless Dracara, its young is a prize worth blood and fire.  To Amber, it is a choice she cannot turn away from... even if it costs her everything. Far beyond her forest home, whispers of forgotten powers stir. Ancient artifacts, tied to Solaris' greatest cataclysm-the Great Event-begin to resurface.  And as storms gather on the horizon, destinies entwine: a failed Dracara warrior desperate for redemption, siblings bound by loyalty and loss, and a girl who only ever wished to remain Amber, daughter of the forest. The storm is coming. And when it breaks, who will rise?  Every song whispers history. Every poem hides truth. In Gathering Storms, even the smallest verse carries the weight of forgotten worlds.  Set in the mythic world of Solaris-a land scarred by the echoes of a forgotten age-this sweeping tale blends adventure, mystery, and heart. Readers will uncover a world where griffins soar through thunderclouds, ancient artifacts hum with lost power, and the choices of a few can alter the fate of all.  For fans of the mythic wonder of The Inheritance Cycle, the depth of Earthsea Cycle, and the epic scale of The Lord of the Rings, Gathering Storms is a character-driven epic fantasy of memory, courage, and the power that awakens when hope refuses to fade.  Learn more on Lucas' WEBSITE and follow on GoodReads.

Send us Fan MailOne of my favorite parts of Kyle Talks is hearing from you.This episode is part of Chatting With..., a recurring series where I sit down with questions sent in by listeners and think through them together. These aren't definitive answers or life advice—they're conversations. Think of it like sitting down with a friend over coffee (or a couple of beers) and exploring ideas together.This week, we're tackling three thoughtful questions that all point to a bigger issue: How do we stay connected when disagreement feels easier than understanding?In this episode, we discuss:How do you know when a disagreement is worth having—and when it's time to walk away?Can friendships survive major political differences, or is it okay to accept that people grow apart?Is it possible to genuinely respect someone whose beliefs you believe are harmful? Where do you draw the line?These are questions without easy answers, but they're worth wrestling with.Throughout the conversation, I share my own thoughts, experiences, and reflections—not because I have everything figured out, but because I believe thinking out loud together is how we all grow.If there's one thing I hope you take away from this episode, it's that meaningful conversations don't always end in agreement—but they can leave us with greater understanding, stronger convictions, and a little more humility.Support the show

Pathological optimism meets its cathartic downside. Listen to a 2-minute burst about what sucks in life as I ride my recumbent trike. It's lame & heartfelt. Click here to view the printable newsletter. More readable than a transcript. Click here to view the verbatim transcript Summary Pathological optimism doesn’t mean things don’t suck. Sometimes you just need a 2-minute burst of complaining. I hate leaking misery in dribs and drabs. I let loose about my sax struggles, MS fatigue, too many pills, old-man prostate, and empty nesting. It’s ridiculous, it’s cathartic, and by the end, my annoyances are down a notch. Episode Proem: The Downside of Pathological Optimism Okay. Good morning. I’m riding my trike, and I’m feeling the need for a 2-minute bitch. I don’t know if I’ve talked to you before; I might have, about the 2-minute bitch. See, one downside of being pathologically optimistic is that it doesn’t mean things still don’t suck. So every once in a while, I just must have a 2-minute bitch. I don’t like it to— I don’t like my miserableness, or unhappiness, or whatever it is to, like, leak out in drips and drabs and— you know, I’d rather have a burst. Sourpuss Kick-off: I Suck at Music. I Quit. So, today—last night, I had a rehearsal. Oh my God. A rehearsal with the Latin band, Lechuga Fresca. Oh, man. You know, right now I’m— I was the only horn there, and I’m often the only horn. And I’m a Bari sax player, and I’m never the only horn. So this is a really new experience for me. Well, it’s not so new; it’s been going on for a year, so. But anyway, I’m— oh man, I just— I just don’t hear the music, or I’m not counting the 1, and I’m just, like, I feel like, you know, there’s like 3 percussionists— no, what were there? Today— yesterday— there was just— last night— there was just 2 percussionists, a keyboard player, and that was it. So it was not enough. Clearly not enough. But it’s stuff I’ve been working on. I’ve just been working on it, and I— I just can’t get it. I just don’t hear it. And then I sort of freeze up, and I— ugh, I just hate that. And I feel like I’m remedial, you know? Like, my band mates were— they’re really nice, and they work with me, and— I don’t know. But anyway, I just— I just have this feeling that I’m going to quit. I’m going to quit this band. This is too much. I’m also playing with a Dixieland band and rehearsing once a week. I still play an hour a day. An hour a day. And I’m just not— I don’t know— not getting better fast enough, I guess. Tired of Tired And I’m tired. I just hate being tired all the time. I wake up in the morning, and I’m exhausted. I hate that. I hate being exhausted. And then, yeah, I don’t sleep that well. I usually say, “Oh, good enough.” And it is good enough. I mean, I do what I do. But I want to have more energy. I don’t know. What would I do with more energy? Anyway, I’m just going to be miserable. Let’s see. What else can I be miserable about? I have cramps. I have cramps. Cramps in my calves. Cramps in my back. Cramps in my shoulders. It’s just annoying. It’s like stuff I've got to manage all the time. I don’t want to manage this stuff. I want to be 74 years old and not have pain. Ugh, that sounds ridiculous. Anyway, I’m bitching. Ugh. What else? Well, here I am, riding my trike. I had— oh, my legs really aren’t that strong. I wish they were stronger. And it’s actually my strong right leg that feels weak. I mean, it makes sense. You know? I got MS, but anyway, I’m bitching. And what have I done? Ridden the trike— what, so far? 6 times, maybe, this season. And I don’t feel like I’m getting stronger. I mean, I don’t have to be stronger. I got a lovely ICE trike. It’s a top-of-the-line trike. It’s got great gears. It’s very comfortable to ride. Old White Man with Old White Man Problems Wait a minute. I’m bitching. What else can I bitch about? I wish I wasn’t an old man with prostate issues. How do you like them apples? It’s just annoying. Annoying, annoying, annoying. Oh goodness. What else can I— I’m going to dig deep here. Find something else to bitch about. I don’t have anything else. Ugh. Oh, here. I got another one. I take too many pills. You know? I have to sit there for 20 minutes every Sunday and lay out my pills. What am I doing taking so many pills? Pills for my cholesterol. Pills for my MS. Pills for anemia. Pills for diabetes. Ugh. What have I gotten to? Pills, pills, pills. I might have just run out of steam on that. Let me ride a little longer and see if I can come up with something else to bitch about. Here, I can bitch about having to wait for a red light. How you like that? How you like that, huh? Oh, I didn’t have to wait. Oh well. That was a wasted bitch. Man, it’s a great temperature. Really nice. It’s cloudy, and it’ll probably rain. I could bitch about the rain, even though we need it. I like rain. It’s so much work to be at the top of my game. I want to be at the top of my game all the time. There. There’s another bitch. Man, this is really lame. My lame bitching. All right. I’ll turn it on again if I think of more. Round 2. Losing It All right. I’m a little farther along now, and I have a couple more things to bitch about. One is, I got back on the video because my wife just called to say that some very nice man stopped at the house on his electric bike, bringing my wallet, which I dropped on the bike path here. So, you know, I’m such an idiot. I— I know these pockets suck, and I don’t— I thought I had my wallet in this pocket that has a flap on it, but it’s not really, I guess, a flap that closes. So anyway. There. I’m bitching about being such an idiot, doing stupid things. Empty Nesting I have another thing I thought I had to bitch about. So my—my son, my daughter-in-law, and my grandson moved. They lived upstairs from us for 18 years. We had 18 years with them. And they needed to go. It was enough with the in-laws. But I really miss my son and my grandson. My grandson’s going to college. He’s such a sweetie. And he— he’s gone. And I feel it even more than when my— I guess, when my kids left. I don’t know. Simon, I was glad to see him go. He was just ready to be away from us. He hated me. And then when Ruben left, Mike was still there. When Mike left, that was hard. Really hard. I missed him. I still miss him. He died at 26, God. Anyway. But Leon. I miss Leon. I try to text him almost every day. I’m a pain in the ass, Opa. But he says it’s fine. He likes it. But anyway. There you go. Something else I can feel sorry for myself about. Cycling / Walking Community Pretty nice, isn’t it? Look at this beautiful here. I’m going so slow. It’s a little bit uphill. I think there’s a limit to how strong I can get. There. I got to bitch about that. If I already bitched about that, I don’t like to be repetitive. Anyway. It’s pretty lame. Good morning. (as I pass a cluster of people on the bike path talking). I like seeing people out here. Chatting and exercising. It’s nice being in a community. All right. I’m going to turn it off again. Anyway, I just listened to it. That was it. Reflection: Catharsis. Downgrading Annoyances It was cathartic. It was ridiculous. I hate complaining. Though, when I’m with other people who are gossiping, I gossip. When I’m— when I sour on a relationship or a job, I can be really negative. And when I’m sour or negative for more than a few minutes, I can feel it. All my annoyances escalate a step. It’s my scale. Not 1 to 10, but annoyances. I go from annoying to moderately annoying, to seriously annoying, to catastrophizing, to crippling. So. That was it. A little longer than 2 minutes, but you know, I packed it right in there. Anyway.

Life in the Peloton is proudly brought to you by MAAP Aero socks, waxed chains, ceramic bearings, and more are all classic marginal gains that cyclists love to froth over. But they might just be overlooking one of the most important pieces of the puzzle: feet.  I know, footbeds aren't exactly the sexiest upgrade to make to your set-up, but getting them right could actually unlock even more power, reduce injury, and just boost your overall enjoyment on the bike. That's where this week's guest comes in.  Mick Habgood, perhaps better known as Mik.Fit, has been producing cycling orthotics and shoes for pro cyclists since 2013, working closely with EF Pro Cycling, British Cycling, and heaps more. In fact, he reckons close to 150 pros are using his insoles - from Olympic gold medalists to grand tour stage winners.  Chatting to Mick and hearing just how important your feet are in the quest for comfort and power was fascinating, and I even got to have a go myself. I got on a video consultation with Mick so he could analyse my feet and sort out some insoles for me to see if he could find my old, retired body a few watts. I tested them and, well, you'll have to listen to hear just how much power I gained.  After chatting to Mick, I wanted to speak to a rider who is one of the most meticulous guys in the bunch when it comes to marginal gains: Jay Vine. Jay truly leaves no stone unturned - and it all starts with his feet. It was great hearing directly from inside the pelo how important the small details are at the top level, how team sponsors deal with athletes looking for gains elsewhere, and how the feet really are the foundation of a pro rider's performance.  Guys, I won't lie, this is one for the tech nerds out there. If you care about saving watts, there's some amazing insight in this episode from some of the best in the business. If you want to check out the new Varus insoles I tested, you can find more information here: vip.mik.fit Stretch out your arches, limber up your metatarsals, and jump feet first into this marginal gains special episode.  Cheers, Mitch   This episode is brought to you by Saily.  Get an exclusive 15% discount on Saily data plans!
