The Health Huns
Ep.24 Our Top 10 Health and Fitness Icks!
If the weights floor has ever felt like a stage for the loudest person in the room, you’re not alone. We’re digging into the fitness “icks” that drain motivation and shut people out—from theatrical grunts and plate slamming to smug couples coaching each other badly and copycat content that mistakes clicks for care.
We talk honestly about what sustainable training looks like when sleep is a mess and energy is low: gentle rest days, mobility, slower runs, intervals when they help, and strength that fits your week instead of swallowing it. Running is cardio, not a personality test. We also unpack why calorie comparison reels and “high-protein cinnamon-roll” hacks miss the point. Most people understand calories; the real work is building habits around time, stress, taste, and culture. If protein is low, add proper foods. If you want dessert, choose a dessert you love. Simpler choices win.
Coaching culture gets a spotlight too. Shame-as-motivation influencers might grab attention, but behaviour change sticks when the bar to start is low and progress feels possible. Clear cues, small wins, and respectful language beat insults every time. And yes, we call for basic gym citizenship: re-rack your weights, share space, wipe benches, and wear clothes meant for training. The goal is a room where more people feel welcome to try, not fewer.
We wrap with community shoutouts to listeners from Norwich to Dallas and Germany, and a standing invite to send us your gym icks. If you smiled, winced, or nodded along, tap follow, share with a friend, and leave a quick review. Your stories shape what we tackle next.
Thank you for listening!

All of this and like grunting and making noises and slamming things down. They don't need to do that. Hello and welcome to the Health Hands, the pod where we discuss the messy side of health and fitness.
SPEAKER_00:From gym fails to newfound communities.
SPEAKER_01:We're here to help you feel like less of a failure and find your place in the messy world of health and fitness.
SPEAKER_00:Hello. Hello and welcome to episode 24 of the Health Hands. Dun dun. Congratulations. A quarter of our way to 100.
SPEAKER_01:And it's a special week this week because what's tomorrow, Rihannan?
SPEAKER_00:It's my birthday. It's her birthday. The big two seven.
SPEAKER_01:That means we're only I'm only 16 years older than you now.
SPEAKER_00:Until your birthday in July.
SPEAKER_01:Then I'll be 17 years older again.
SPEAKER_00:Wow. Um just a number with us.
SPEAKER_01:It really is. It really is.
SPEAKER_00:I think this week's gonna be really funny. I think it's gonna be funny because it's minimal planning.
SPEAKER_01:I just done my bit just now, actually.
SPEAKER_00:We need to do a quick episode, so I've got to go and get my eyebrows done. Very important. With with Lala. So if you're local to Norwich and you listen to this podcast, I'm gonna assume you've had something waxed at La La's. Probably. Um I have. I have.
SPEAKER_01:So how's your week been?
SPEAKER_00:My week. Oh, do you know what? It hasn't been good. It's been about a four or five out of ten. I just haven't been sleeping. I was talking to you about this today. Like, haven't been sleeping, struggling to fall asleep, and then waking up after like two or three hours, struggling to fall back asleep, and it's just a vicious cycle, and I'm just and then it gives me migraines and headaches, and it's a vicious cycle, and it's not helping me be fitter, faster, or stronger.
SPEAKER_01:But you are still doing it.
SPEAKER_00:I am I am still doing it. I've made a few adjustments. I'm gonna have a couple an extra rest day this week, focus more on mobility, and give myself some grace because part of this is actually being flexible. Yes, I believe. Um but I am looking forward to my.
SPEAKER_01:We're not Andrew Tate, are we?
SPEAKER_00:We're not Andrew Tate, no. Um, or David Goggins.
SPEAKER_01:Or Andrew Goggins.
SPEAKER_00:Exactly. Um, but yeah, so not ideal, but there we go. How about you?
SPEAKER_01:Uh mine's been okay, apart from the fact you you can only really see it when I sit back. I've got like this weird bruise on my face. So I don't know what that is. That's quite disappointing. Um, it's been alright. I've been I am unintentionally doing fitter, faster, stronger. Um I didn't do any did I do anything yesterday? No, had a rest day yesterday. But I've been to the gym, I've done some, I've decided I'm not doing 5k run runs apart from gate to 5k. Well, that's gonna be my slow, long, easy run, and I'm gonna do it really slow. But I've been going to the gym and doing like 2.5k, 3.5k, and um mixing like intervals, incline, and then doing some rowing.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:So I am feeling I am feeling fitter, faster, stronger. When are we doing this, Till?
SPEAKER_00:Well, mine was can I be as fit and fast and as strong as I've been before 2026? Okay, so we've got uh two whole months left, pretty much.
SPEAKER_01:God, I mean we're gonna be superhuman by the time we get I'll be able to run 6k.
SPEAKER_00:To be fair, I'm not that bothered about running long distances. I see running as a form of just like just cardio, just get it done. Same.
SPEAKER_01:I don't really like running. Um I am really undecided on whether I'm gonna sign up to do Run Norwich next year.
SPEAKER_00:I think I'm gonna keep my foot in the game and like do a couple of 10k races next year. I don't want to do half marathons. I unless it's maybe for a really good cause or something. I just don't feel like anything more than 10k. It just puts my body under a lot of stress.
SPEAKER_01:I'm gonna do the yarn of 10k next year. So that is next Sunday. Oh. And it's flat. Okay. And it's in November. So if I'm gonna do a 10k, I'm gonna do that. I think I might volunteer at Run Norwege next year. Oh yeah. Yeah, nice. My friend done it this year and she gave out medals, and I was like, what a nice job that would be. Yeah, that would be a fun job. So I think I'm gonna do that because I didn't I enjoyed it to a point, but I don't think I really want to do it again. It's so hilly. I just see running like you as like I think it's good to do it, but I'm I'm not someone that wants to be running long distances. I don't think I'm ever gonna be like crazy. I know I'm not ever gonna be crazy fast. So what does it matter? Just as long as you're doing a little bit and keeping your foot on the floor, then that's fine. Um, so yeah, it's been an alright week. Good. So, all right, all round. We love that. I'm having chips for tea. Oh, nice on the family fish bar on Silver Road. Big up if you want to co-lab with us. Best chips in Norwich, they're so good. Um so yeah, what are we talking about this week?
SPEAKER_00:Today we're gonna go through our 10 biggest health and fitness icks.
SPEAKER_01:I mean, there's so many.
SPEAKER_00:There are so many. We're gonna do five each, aren't we? Um you go first. And by the way, we don't know each other's icks, so we might have come up with the same stuff. We might have.
SPEAKER_01:I mean, this first one I feel like maybe.
SPEAKER_00:Men. I didn't even write that one down. I think it's just it's so nice. Okay, and you need to expand.
SPEAKER_01:You can't just so I've been going to a different gym um a little bit, and there's so many men there.
SPEAKER_00:And they just give me the ick. Do you know what I've discovered?
SPEAKER_01:What?
SPEAKER_00:You can have a man, you can choose to be man-free, but you can't expect the world to be man-free.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, right. They like so there's a well, you've been there, haven't you? And there's like that massive free weight section with all the benches. And we got there at seven o'clock, and it was full of men. We managed to get like, and no women use that bit, they were all in the boot section. I'm growing my guns at the minute, as you saw. Um, so we did find two benches, and they all stare at you like, what are you doing here? Um, and they're just a bit stinky, they make a lot of noise, they make a lot of like they're dramatic.
SPEAKER_00:They are I guys, you are dramatic in the gym.
SPEAKER_01:All of this and like grunting and making noises and slamming things down, they don't need to do that. No, they really don't.
SPEAKER_00:Um but where else are they gonna go?
SPEAKER_01:There should be a man-only space where they just all go together and women aren't allowed there, and not because we're not good enough for anything, just because we actually don't need to be traumatised by them anymore.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, do you know what I think takes a piss? Is in a lot of gyms they have like a women's only room. So the women have this tiny little studio of weights that aren't any more than 10 kg, and the men get to run around in the playground without like no consequences. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:Why can't men have the tiny little room? Yeah, get in that small room and leave us be.
unknown:Okay, right.
SPEAKER_00:I throw it a note. Five minutes 45, Amber Man hating. Love it. Okay, right. My first ick is fitness couples. Yeah, yeah. There is something about and I'm gonna be specific here. I'm gonna go straight cis couples who are into fitness. Yeah. I just know you're gonna be obnoxious. I just know you think you're better than everyone else, and I just know you have the most vanilla sex.
SPEAKER_01:If they even if they even have sex.
SPEAKER_00:No, they like starting their Apple Watches. No, I need eight hours of recovery before my next HIROC session.
SPEAKER_01:Oh, sorry, my VO2 max. Yeah, I'm in evil equipment.
SPEAKER_00:There's just that air about them, and I just think, oh, why? They look so smug as well. So smug, and they're kind of right, got most of them look like brother and sister.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:I think if you actually looked at a lot of fitness couples, they look like they're related.
SPEAKER_01:I actually think that about a lot of couples in general.
SPEAKER_00:Well, you kind of blend together, don't you?
unknown:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Did you see that guy? Like this was ages ago, but in a Sydney Hyrux, his girlfriend fainted and he just kind of what a prick. What a prick. And we all know that you're all cheating on each other at your local Hyrux gym as well. So that is a swingers club.
SPEAKER_01:I actually said that about a certain fitness couple in Norwich recently. I have no I have no proof or evidence, I don't even know them. Um, but yeah. I like to make up rumours amongst my friends. Anything else on fitness couples?
SPEAKER_00:Uh no, they just give me the ick. Sorry. Sorry.
SPEAKER_01:So my next ick is couples that work out together.
SPEAKER_00:See, I knew we'd be on the same page of a lot of these. Specifically strength training.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah. Because I think and like the pro people make well, I don't know. I just think there's always like the men, and this kind of links back to men. The men always uh assume this like dominant alpha strong role, and the women are always the slightly like, oh, show me how to do it, or and not always, not always. Some women are very strong and tell men and put them in their place, but lots of especially like people you see in the gym. Like, I saw some people in the gym not last night, the night before, they were on the cable machine. I don't know what he was trying to show her to do with those cables.
SPEAKER_00:It was like, Yeah, that actually does remind me, and this is literally what we both just said, but boyfriends who go to the gym with their girlfriends and are trying to teach their girlfriend stuff like they're some pro, and what they're teaching their girlfriends is just completely wrong. Yeah, that is another ick.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, so I don't have much else to say on that because I think you covered it, but I think running couples are a bit different.
SPEAKER_00:You don't really get a man, a woman, a couple running because normally like their paces are just a bit different, aren't they?
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, and like they might do races, and but I just think the running community is really different to like the gym community, anyway, um, from my experience of people. But yeah, mine is specifically couples that strength train together.
SPEAKER_00:Okay, um, okay, my second, so our fourth one, technically, technically our third, um, are those calorie comparison videos all over social media. So they've got all the bowls laid out of them and they pour like peas in. It's like this is 300 grams, or this is 300 calories worth of peas. This is 300 calories worth of shreddies or whatever. Okay, what's your fucking point? Like, what is your point? That this this is everyone knows this shit now. I guarantee most people who that is their algorithm, understand calories. Because I'm sorry, guys, it's not rocket science. Yeah, most people that the problem isn't understanding calories. Do you know what I mean?
SPEAKER_01:No, well, it's like we were saying earlier, weren't we? Like, actually, we all know how to eat properly in a way that is beneficial to our health. Uh you do not need to tell people that there is, you know, in hundred calories of chocolate, you have a smaller amount than a hundred calories of lettuce.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, like we know this.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:And it's just the the ick isn't even necessarily the content of the videos, it's the fact that every mediocre fitness influencer coach, it's guys mainly, are just copying each other, doing the same thing over and over and over again. I'm like, get some fucking originality. They can't. Why don't you pour some personality into that bowl? And maybe I'll watch this.
SPEAKER_01:That is too much to ask for.
SPEAKER_00:Anyway, that's my uh my second ick of the moment with it comes out of fitness. What's yours?
SPEAKER_01:So my third ick of the moment is when people on Instagram recreate those hideous, like this. Is a oh, what did I see the other day? They'd made like cinnamon rolls with a wrap, some stevia cinnamon sprinkles, and then for the they put them in the oven, and then for the glaze, it was like natural yogurt with some maple syrup in it. That is not a cinnamon roll. So the people that make them are bad enough. The people that have made their following, recreating these and going, I'm gonna tell you if it's good or bad. Of course it's bad. Of course it's bad.
SPEAKER_00:Just have the cinnamon roll. Have a cinnamon roll! Because I'm not being if if I when I've been like dialed in with my like nutrition and stuff, you know, I'm getting a good balanced diet, and I feel like I'm energizing the right way. I don't actually have like loads of cravings all the time. So when I have a craving, I'm gonna have a cookie.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:I just can we stop pretending it's delicious. And I reckon if you added up the calories in it, it'd be very similar.
SPEAKER_01:Well, I mean, how many calories is a wrap? Like 150? Yeah. Then there was like, I mean, I guess there's no calories in the cinnamon and the stevia, but then there was melted butter, that's probably 150 calories. Then it was baked, and then it was natural yogurt, which okay, there's not many calories in that, maybe 50 calories, and then maple syrup, so it's probably at least another hundred. So it's probably around four to five hundred calories. Just have a cinnamon roll, it's probably less, and less effort as well.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, and no one's funny because my next one is high protein recipes. So my third it is high protein recipes, and I'm not talking like a savory how to like add a bit more protein to maybe like a bottle of like actually no, I am talking about them because one, not everything you eat has to be high protein. How many times have we got to say this on this podcast? It really doesn't, and when you're trying to make some it like the cinnamon roll thing, some high protein dessert, just just enjoy your dessert and like maybe have a bit more protein throughout the day.
SPEAKER_01:But do you know what? If you really are serious about protein, just have like some natural yogurt, some granola, and some fruit. Why are you trying to make like these disgusting things?
SPEAKER_00:Um, okay, let's go again.
SPEAKER_01:Is it my one or your one?
SPEAKER_00:Uh yeah, we did high protein tea recipes. What's your fourth one?
SPEAKER_01:So my fourth one, and I'm conflicted on this because there's two sides. My first ick is, and this is experience, and I don't know if it's an ick or if I'm like in awe. I went to the gym on Tuesday morning and I was having a run on the treadmill, and there was a man on the rowing machine, he was wearing a button-up shirt. Shirt. What? He was wearing a button-up office shirt. Then he got off the rowing machine. He was on there for at least 15 minutes, then he came over and he got on the cross trainer. So he was behind me and I could see him in the mirror. I could see the buttons, I could see the sweat, because they are not sweat resistant. That was a cotton shirt.
SPEAKER_00:Well, it's funny you say that because this isn't one of my icks, but one of them were people who work out in just non-workout attire. Yeah. It's like stop trying to be cool and edgy, like just buy some shorts. Yeah. Like when tradies come into the gym and they've got their tradey trousers on and their and their dirty work boots. It's like, just put some shorts in your van.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:I mean, I think they probably know that a lot of women like those tradey trousers, maybe. And they're like, yeah, we're working out and we're in our tradey trousers.
SPEAKER_00:No, I just think that's filthy.
SPEAKER_01:It is filthy.
SPEAKER_00:Not that I'm their target audience, but I'm, you know.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah. So I mean, like wearing normal clothes to work out in.
SPEAKER_00:Can I can I ask a question? Do you think he wore that shirt to work? Maybe. Because I can't think of another good reason why you would well is it's in the morning? Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, while you it was quarter to seven in the morning.
SPEAKER_00:That is an odd move.
SPEAKER_01:A really odd move. And I I mean, I just don't understand it. As a sweaty girl, I don't want to be wearing things. Like this, the top that I wore to the gym with you today is like a cotton t-shirt material. I would only ever wear that for strength training. I would not wear it for running, I wouldn't do it for anything else because I'd sweat too much. But strength training, I don't really sweat that much. But he was sweating.
SPEAKER_00:Well, that's just strange, isn't it?
SPEAKER_02:Yes.
SPEAKER_00:Okay. My fourth topic. Can we? How hard are we swearing on the you can swear as much as you like. Okay. Is the coaches or the fitness content creators who call people cunts? And they're calling their clients it and they're like, stop being a lazy UNT. I'm not going to keep saying it because it's quite harsh on the ears. Um and I just think and they're just offensive, and it's like, oh, just stop. Like again, you're just like it obviously works because some people love sh being shamed, you know, and they think that shame and fitness, you know, go hand in hand. But I personally just think you've got nothing else up your sleeve as a coach if you're having to call your clients lazy, fat, blah blah blahs, yeah. To motivate them to work out.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:And it's you can picture the type of person it is who's saying those things as well. Oh yeah. I mean he's either balding or he's just been to Turkey. Yeah. And he's short.
SPEAKER_01:And he's probably a bit older. It's not like the young, young ones, it's people that are like 35 plus.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, I just oh I I think there's no I just don't think there's a place for that in the fitness industry anymore.
SPEAKER_01:I just think any kind of shaming, like just let people live their lives.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, some people are do deserve to be called that, but not in not being called that on Instagram because you didn't get up for your 5am workout.
SPEAKER_01:There's some man who I think has like a big following, and I think his thing is like team RH or something like that. I know exactly who you mean. You do, yeah. So I one somebody who actually I have deleted off all of my socials now because she's racist, but um it's a nail tech who used to do my nails in Norwich and then she moved away and she put some horrible things about people. So I was like, Do you know what? I don't need this in my life, I'm just getting rid of you. Um, which is a shame because before that I liked her, but she has joined this team RH thing, and she shared this thing that he'd posted, and I was like, what a load of bullshit! Like women, if you're oh these are the stupidest mistakes you could make. Women over 14-stone running a marathon, men over 18-stone running a marathon. Well, there's no context to that, yeah. Because you could be 14-stone as a woman and actually have very little body fat and be very muscular, or you could be the other way around but have been running for a long time and just run it really slow and do run walk like what's happened.
SPEAKER_00:You're frozen.
SPEAKER_01:You froze. You froze after me.
SPEAKER_00:Uh where did you get to?
SPEAKER_01:I don't know.
SPEAKER_00:My internet connections are unstable. I think it's the wind. Oh, probably. I got up to women can run walk if they're everything.
SPEAKER_01:So women can, you know, they can run, walk, they can do a marathon slow. Like, why is that the stupidest thing they can do? If people run in a marathon, the stupidest thing they can do is do no training, not fuel properly, not try things out, like you know, trial out their fueling and stuff. They're the stupidest things you could do. Yeah. Properly and being a bit bigger than somebody else is not the stupidest thing you can do.
SPEAKER_00:I think it's we said this before, it's that clickbait, rage bait, three-second snippet that these coaches do to get because his model, I'm assuming, based on what I know about him and his business, is like membership. So he needs as many eyes as possible on his content in order to then have that turnover into membership.
SPEAKER_01:Um and I guess there is that, like, like you said, some people do like that, and some people truly believe that restricting, being really harsh, discipline, punishment are the ways to lead. That's what they need. And maybe they do, but that is not for me.
SPEAKER_00:No, and I also think people like that probably have flags flying.
SPEAKER_01:Well, yeah.
SPEAKER_00:I do think there's a correlation.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:You know, but moving on, let's not get into politics.
SPEAKER_01:No.
SPEAKER_00:Who went who oh your turn, so I just yeah.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, that was you. Um so I I stepped away from the internet for quite a lot of mine. Mine is just about people. Okay. Um, people that do not put stuff away in the gym. Yes. You probably, I mean, you're in the gym 50% of your life. Yeah. You really notice this.
SPEAKER_00:I not do you know, I don't notice it too much in my the gym I work at because everyone's quite respectful. But certain things that don't really have a place, which sometimes are a bit annoying to go and find.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Um, everyone's normally pretty good at putting stuff back. And do you know what? I haven't even noticed it at the new gym I've been going to.
SPEAKER_01:Did notice it a bit yester on Tuesday. Yeah, there was the plates were on all over the place and not on the things, and they're like we couldn't find some dumbbells, and yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, it's annoying. Just leave the place better if you found it.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah. Just put it back where you found it, because everything has a home.
SPEAKER_00:Everything does have a home, Amber, you're right. And everyone should have a home. Everyone should have a home. Um, okay, my last one is overly motivational fitness people and groups and classes. Like, I'm not a motivational coach in the sense that I'm gonna give you some bullshit quote every day and oh, I just What emo emotional, what motivational quotes spring to mind? Even when if you go and give if you've got 10% to give and you try your best, you've given a hundred percent.
SPEAKER_01:No, you probably haven't. Well, a tiny step today will help you take seven steps tomorrow.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, and people you talk about like cot, like most of it's true, annoying me, the motivational stuff, but I just think it's have some fun, like take the piss of it. I'm all about taking the piss and just having a laugh of fitness and health because it it is serious. Fun. Yeah, whilst you know you want to be healthy, and there are some health things that are quite serious. Like most people just want to feel a bit better about themselves and don't need loads of different I don't know.
SPEAKER_01:I hate motivation. Yeah. Do you follow on Instagram? Is it called unmotivational aspirations?
SPEAKER_00:Oh yeah, like treat yourself, have a mental breakdown. Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_01:Oh, you're doing the best you can, do which is uh shit because this is the the best it's ever gonna be. And stuff like that. I love it. That's the kind of motivational quote I want.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, and like sometimes you need to be told actually you're not trying that hard at all.
SPEAKER_01:Do you know what I also hate? People that are just really happy and cheery.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, come on, guys! So I'm like that's why I could never be a uh group exercise leader because by nature you have to be quite energized, yeah. And like fair play to the people who are like, Woo, let's go, girls! Like, give me another one. They've done like 10 classes back to back that day. I couldn't. You see me at my eighth client of the day. I'm sorry if you're my eighth client of that day.
SPEAKER_01:I lose the plot by my eighth client of the day. If you're my eighth client for the day, it's what I'm talking about.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. Um, so I just don't like motivational quotes in the fitness industry.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, I get it.
SPEAKER_00:And cheesiness. Oh, I just wish some people would be a bit more original with what they post.
SPEAKER_01:Well, I mean, that links back to the other thing, doesn't it? Just get your own ideas, sprinkle some creativity in there. That would do. I have noticed this a lot though, like somebody makes like a meme real type thing, and it's obviously original, and they're the first one to do it, and then loads of other like semi, very tiny influences will make exactly the same thing. So the world that I work in, if I do a set of nails that somebody else has done, I'll always credit them as inspiration. So it might be like inspo at so and so, but they don't credit them with the inspiration, they're just it's almost as if they've created it.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. Uh, I like tr like trends sometimes, like if it's a challenge.
SPEAKER_01:Trends are fine, but these are like real specific things that one person makes up that don't really go viral and loads of people are doing them. You just see a few other people, like maybe five other people make them. And it's like you're literally just stealing somebody's idea.
SPEAKER_00:Whilst we're on this topic, can we talk about couples who prank each other? That's such an ick. That's got nothing to do with help and fitness, that's just got to do with life. I'm sorry. That's not can we stop doing that now?
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, I think that should be banned.
SPEAKER_00:2020 was fine.
SPEAKER_01:There was nothing else to do.
SPEAKER_00:Fair enough. Like the one at the mortgage You've had your moment. You had your moment where it's like the women go to their husband, oh, I can't pay the mortgage this month. And the men are like, Oh, you've never paid the mortgage, bitch. Have you seen them? No. What side of Instagram are you on? Tradwife.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:But yeah, and what's your final it?
SPEAKER_01:That's it.
SPEAKER_00:Have we gone through them all? I think so. Wow. 30 minutes.
SPEAKER_01:And what a journey it was. I don't think I knew we'd have some of them that were the same.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, none of them are particularly new. I'm sure we've covered all of them at least once in in previous episodes.
SPEAKER_01:And if you asked me next week, I'd have a different five X.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, me too. On this note, why don't you all at us with your gym icks, DM us, and maybe we'll share some next episode. Yes. We would love that.
