Tom: Oh, there it is. Okay. Uh, and you can find that at youtube.com/the clip out. [00:06:00] So there’s all that. Let’s dig in. Shall we?

Crystal: We shall.

Tom: The next episode of Peloton at the next table. I feel weird saying next twice.

Crystal: Yeah.

Tom: Yeah. They didn’t think that through.

Crystal: The latest. The latest.

Tom: Okay. The next episode of Peloton at the latest table.

Crystal: Sure

Tom: Features Cody Rigsby.

Next Toussant.

Crystal: Wow. That was, that was a stretch.

Tom: Okay. And Adrian Williams.

Crystal: It does, yeah. And John Hosking is still the host.

Tom: Yes.

Crystal: So here’s my theory.

Tom: Yes.

Crystal: I think this, this episode is actually the first episode that was filmed.

Tom: What makes you say that?

Crystal: Well, because I edit. Mm-hmm. And I feel like the, they wanted to put out the most energetic episode first, right?

Of the two. And that was definitely the girls, right. Compared to [00:07:00] the boys. I also feel that part of the reason it was less energetic for the boys is because they didn’t know what they were getting into.

Right.

When you sit down and do this for the first time, it’s. It’s really hard to understand until you’ve done it.

But like you don’t, like I know all these people, like they talk to the public for their jobs. Right? Right. So you wouldn’t think they would be nervous, but they don’t know what kinds of questions are coming at them.

Tom: It’s a different kind of talking.

Crystal: It’s totally different. They, so my theory is they tried it with the boys first.

Tom: Yeah.

Crystal: And then they kind of tweaked it a little bit for the girls. I also think the girls are just closer. Like I, I think all of these guys know each other and like each other.

Tom: Right.

Crystal: But I think. The

Tom: girls hang out in a way the boys

Crystal: don’t. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, exactly. So, uh, that’s just my, that’s my take.

Tom: I remember when I was in radio the guy who did.

Afternoon drive on the station. I did a midday shift. He did afternoon drive. Uh, his name was Jason Mack. Hey Jason. I’m sure you’re listening.

Crystal: Oh, yeah.

Tom: And um,

Crystal: I see him all the time on the Facebook.

Tom: Yeah.

Crystal: Yeah.

Tom: He’s a really nice [00:08:00] guy. He is. But I remember when we would do stage announcements for bands.

Crystal: Yeah.

Tom: And I remember we were, we were, he was supposed to do the stage announcement, uh, one time for Iron Maiden, and it was a huge show. There was 15, 17,000 people there. And he was just like. Very nervous about going. And I was like, you talk to,

Crystal: it’s different when they’re in front of you, man,

Tom: 10 times this amount of people every day of your life.

And he’s like, but they’re in front of me. And so as we, we ended up going out together, which I thought was funny ’cause he was an infinitely more popular DJ on the radio station than I was. But I, but like, that didn’t bother me at all. And he was like. Like, uh, what do we say? So, yeah.

Crystal: Well, you also have never been scared about going out in front of people.

Tom: I wouldn’t say never.

Crystal: Okay. Besides the Insane Clown Posse story,

Tom: but I got over it pretty early. Yeah. Yeah. There I was scared for my life.

Crystal: Yeah. As you should have been. Yes. Yeah. As, as you should have been. But this particular [00:09:00] episode, they started off by talking to a, they have a debate about how you greet each other.

On a scale of one to 10, where do you land? Is it the casual nod the. Full bear hug. They get into it. That’s what they mm-hmm. Start by talking about. But they also talk about all different kinds of things. Emotional vulnera, they have some vulnerability. The kinds of expectations that society places on men around being the provider, the fixer, the person who holds it altogether.

Another one heard, uh, about a psychological pattern he heard described on a podcast that stopped him, uh, because it sounded like himself. So like they got pretty deep on some things. Friendship. What that’s like. And the, they talked about skincare.

Tom: Okay.

Crystal: And, uh, most likely two karaoke, feuds and other essential business.

So that is a very high level. We’ve got a totally in-depth review that that helper be. Elizabeth wrote Awesome about episode two. If you wanna check that out over on. Clip out.com

Tom: and you could also just listen to it.

Crystal: I mean Yeah, you could do that too. Now I [00:10:00] wanna point out, because, uh, we didn’t point this out loud.

I wasn’t sure about it last time. Mm-hmm. We talked about this. It’s only available on YouTube. That’s the only place they put it. Interesting. It’s it’s not on any of the podcast platforms.

Tom: Yeah.

Crystal: We, you and I thought it would be.

Tom: Yeah.

Crystal: But it’s a video. Podcast is what they’re calling it.

Tom: Okay.

Crystal: Which is just a video series.

It’s just a show. It’s just a Yeah, exactly. That’s a show. Um, and uh, so I was surprised they didn’t just pull out the audio, but they didn’t. Yeah. So you have to commit to and about 45 minutes to an hour on YouTube, US adults, us old. Yeah. We don’t all like to do that. So that might be stopping some people.

Tom: It’s funny ’cause like YouTube is now baked into our television. I

Crystal: know, but I

Tom: won’t ever

Crystal: watch it

Tom: just like every other app. But I’m always, but I’m always like. You know, Hulu, Disney, I know they’re the same thing now. Or we’ll be shortly, HBO, Netflix Peacock. But then it’s, but I never am like, let’s hop over to YouTube.

Crystal: No, but when the kids are home, like Sydney, especially like her go-to is to watch like. Ghost [00:11:00] hunting weird shit on. Yeah. Or she’ll watch these crazy documentaries and I say documentaries has to be in quotes. Yeah. ’cause I’m just like, where are they getting this? Yeah. And it’s like they go into these crazy deep dives on like old murders.

Yeah. And like sometimes they’re kind of fascinating and sometimes I’m like, I wanna stab myself in the eye.

Tom: I mean, I’ve seen her watch like. The interrogation videos of like murder suspects? Yes. Or people who would then go on to be convicted, so, of murderers, but like, not like, like a 20 minute, but like, no,

Crystal: no,

Tom: the full on like eight hours that they spent,

Crystal: she’s watching the whole thing and she’ll do it like when she’s drawing or doing Yeah.

Something else, you know, but it’s just like they just consume. TV in a completely different way than we do. Yeah. And it’s fascinating.

Tom: Do Yeah. They do it wrong.

Crystal: It’s fascinating.

Tom: It’s funny how it’s like when I was a kid, I got yelled at for just enjoying television and now I’m like, that’s not how you watch television. This is how you watch [00:12:00] television kids today. When they’re both in their twenties. I know, I know.

Crystal: Well, Sydney’s not quite 20. You just settled down.

All right. I got a few months left.

Tom: You got a few months?

Crystal: I got a few. I am, I’m taking the few months. Okay. Because she’s gonna, she’s gonna be back at home for the summer. She’s under 20. Okay. Okay. It’s an important distinction. I

Tom: just never knew a parent that was like, yes, keep them teenagers.

Crystal: Okay. Yeah, I agree with that.

Tom: That’s the best time.

Crystal: I’m just, I’m not ready for her to be 21.

Tom: Yeah. So, moving along a Peloton bike. Has allegedly started a house fire in New Jersey and I just Googled it again. There is no one else reporting this story other than the Monty News, which is for, I guess a a, an

Crystal: area It’s called, it, it’s an area called Montgomery.

Yeah. Yeah. Uh, serves Bellmead Berg.

Tom: Blavin Berg.

Crystal: Maybe it’s Blavin. Ivin. Griggs Town. [00:13:00] Harlingin, uh, Rocky Hill, Skillman, New Jersey. If

Tom: anyone’s from New Jersey.

Crystal: Well, Nikki is, I’m sure she’s probably horrified.

Tom: Are these real places?

Crystal: Okay. Well here’s the thing. Uh, the other day, this

Tom: Berg

Crystal: Blavin Blavin.

Cliff

Tom: Blavin. I

Crystal: know, right?

Tom: But I just like these. I’ve never heard of these. These areas.

Crystal: It is real because Nikki lives in New Jersey. She’s been watching the, for the story because I put it in our, our little Slack chat. Right. And I was like, check this out. So, so this the Monty News, as you said?

Mm-hmm. It’s just, it’s just a one hit. Okay. This, this article comes up and it says, this is how it starts. A Peloton exercise bike reportedly caused a fire in a bellmead home this morning, according to the Montgomery Township police. Firefighters responded quickly and were able to limit TheBlaze to the basement of the single family home Now.

I read the rest of the [00:14:00] article, but that’s basically all it says.

Tom: That’s all it says in term terms of Peloton. Yeah. It really doesn’t even say much more in terms of the fire. I will also point out, it irritates me when the article says reportedly,

Crystal: because you’re reporting

Tom: because you are the one reporting

Crystal: Yeah.

Tom: You are the report.

Crystal: Yeah.

Tom: You, anything you say right now is reported.

Crystal: Yeah. Agreed. Agreed. Yes. Talk about redundant and I just, I like, I’ve had my bike since. 20 16, 20 17. 2016. 2016. I can’t even imagine what could cause the fire. Like the only thing I could think of is an electrical outlet. The electrical outlet would be the issue, not the bike.

Tom: Yeah. I just feel like it’s something like that. Like they, it was a bad wiring or they plugged it into a, a bad power strip or something. Or you’re not supposed to plug it into a power strip, right? Or is it You’re not actually, yeah. And so, you know, so they did that when they shouldn’t have, I just, especially when like nowhere else is this story getting picked up, which is surprising.

Maybe next week, we’ll

Crystal: maybe

Tom: there’ll be a class action lawsuit. [00:15:00] That’s typically how that plays out. But,

Crystal: right

Tom: now. I

Crystal: rolled my eyes so

Tom: hard. The Peloton people are listening. They’re like, please stop talking.

Crystal: Don’t give them any ideas. Shut up. Well, I I, I just wanted to cover this because it’s, to me ridiculous.

I just don’t even understand, like I would need more details to have any, I can’t. I’m not, I’m not saying possible.

Tom: I’m not, I’m not saying the bike was not involved in a fire.

Crystal: No, I think that’s true.

Tom: Yeah. I just don’t think it was the pause, the bite’s

Crystal: fault. Yeah, and I would like more details and so until I have those details, I’m calling this a bunch of bullshit.

Tom: Until that happens, Monte News, we are withholding your. Pulitzer.

Crystal: There you go.

Tom: So

Crystal: no

Tom: Pul Pulitzer

for

Crystal: you?

Tom: None for you. Uh, the Peloton IQ was featured on Good Morning America.

Crystal: Yeah. They did a whole test. They, uh, decided to bring it on to the show and like, show how it works. Test it out.

Tom: Yeah.

Crystal: What benefits are they getting for it?

[00:16:00] Um, and then they compared the AI training options and, uh, they, and of course. Peloton degrade. I mean, ’cause why would it not? But um,

Tom: and it burst into flames.

Crystal: It did not. It did not. It

Tom: burned down the Good Morning America set reportedly.

Crystal: You know, it’s so funny, I use this little tool. That, um, covers all, like, it’ll take our entire video and then cut it up into little shorts.

Mm-hmm. But it doesn’t understand your sarcasm, so

Tom: it, it’ll turn that into the headline.

Crystal: It will.

Tom: Good Morning America. Set. Burned to the

Crystal: ground. It’ll,

Tom: this is your lead story. You have an exclusive,

Crystal: it’ll always like, no, no, no. That’s just Tom. You need a Tom filter on

Tom: that. We need a a special AI filter that just ignore Tom.

Human beings know to do it, but AI is just not quite there yet.

Crystal: Not there [00:17:00] yet.

Tom: Get with it, Sam Altman.

Crystal: That’s when we have to really worry. When AI can understand your humor, then we all are just. So much trouble

Tom: because for the most part people can’t.

Crystal: But yeah, this is, uh, first of all, it’s just great for Peloton to be featured on Good Morning America again. It’s been a little bit, yeah, but they’ve been featured many times and uh, it was a very positive review and it’s great that they tested it. That’s awesome.

Tom: Yeah. So Android users are having some issues logging into the just workout.

Feature.

Crystal: Yeah. They, they’re having feature, they’re having issues logging. A just workout, not logging in

Tom: there. Go, oh, you know what? I haven even have that written here properly. I know,

Crystal: know you

Tom: do, but I said it improperly.

Crystal: I know. I was correcting

Tom: one more thing to confuse ai.

Crystal: It is.

Tom: Yeah.

Crystal: So, uh, the issue is that when they go to say just workout, it’s just not, it’s not logging the distance.

So like, let’s say you’re outside doing a walk. It’s not [00:18:00] Gotcha. It’s not taking that distance into account, which is a very big deal.

Tom: Yeah.

Crystal: If you’re tracking everything through Peloton or

Tom: you’re in a challenge or something.

Crystal: Yeah. It’s upsetting, man. Yeah. It’s super upsetting. And uh, so people have been, I’ve been seeing some comments about that.

The other issue that has occurred, this is not just on Android.

Mm-hmm.

Um, but users are experiencing intermittent failures when they start classes from stacks on the web. And so it’s causing classes to be removed from the user’s stack.

So that’s really upsetting.

Tom: Yeah. That seems like a. An un good thing to occur.

Crystal: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Super technical term,

Tom: Peloton has partnered with the Longevity Show in the London.

Crystal: In the London. Yeah. Uh, there’s gonna be several, um. There’s gonna be several live workouts there. Mm-hmm. And Peloton is gonna be there, Leanne is gonna be there.

Uh, this is going to happen in [00:19:00] June. Uh, it has been confirmed that it’s June 26th and 27th at the tobacco dock.

Tom: Yeah. I thought that was weird. The longevity show is at the tobacco dock. Those two things seem.

Crystal: Well, it’s not like America has anything to stand on for when it comes to, uh, irony these days.

Yeah. So I don’t know that we can say that. Yeah. But, uh, Uck, we’re confused.

Tom: Yes.

Crystal: Little bit, little bit confused. Uh, but you can also get a special discount for tickets if you want to go to the show.

Tom: Yeah.

Crystal: Uh, you can use Code Peloton 20 TLS. We’ve got an article about it. We’ve got the link to it. Yeah. So you can go and check it out.

But clearly Peloton is all about going to the shows this year. They’re everywhere.

Tom: They are everywhere. ’cause they will also be at the big retreat. Festival and Pim broke Shire. Is that by chance in the United Kingdom?

Crystal: It’s, uh,

Tom: it’s Pim, broke Shire.

Crystal: It’s in Wales.

Tom: I [00:20:00] feel like I could meet a Hobbit there.

Crystal: It’s in Wales. So wherever Wales is, that’s where they’re going to be. And we are going to have. Brad Bradley Rose. Yeah. Brad. No one calls him Brad. I know. That’s so weird that I said Brad.

Tom: You guys are tight like that.

Crystal: I know. Yeah. Up Brad. So close. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, Ben Aldis and Jo Jocelyn Thompson rule.

So they’re all going. This particular festival takes place May 22nd through May 25th. Uh, with all three instructors being there, you’re going to be able to meet and greet. Probably take some classes with them.

Yeah,

they are going to have wellness talks, high energy classes and apparently there’s a beautiful national park there, Pembrokeshire.

And that is in the uk. Again, it’s a national

Tom: shire.

Crystal: We have, we have the link and how to get the tickets ’cause we have an article about the whole thing. So you’re able to check all that out.

Tom: So both PSNY and PSL are closed,

Crystal: but different dates. Different dates. Okay. So PSNY is closed [00:21:00] April 9th through the 15th.

Tom: Okay.

Crystal: And then PSL is closed on April 17th.

Tom: Okay.

Crystal: So they’re

Tom: Because of the metric system?

Crystal: Exactly. Okay. Yeah, that makes sense. So yeah, there’s not gonna be any classes, you know, you can’t go and get those classes because there, there are no classes to be gotten.

Tom: There’s no one there to do it.

Crystal: Yeah.

Tom: If you turn on your screen, it’ll just be dark for the entire week.

Crystal: Exactly.

Tom: It’ll just be,

Crystal: yeah.

Tom: One lone spotlight. On a bike in the studio, even if it’s a tread class.

Crystal: Hey, remember that time they accidentally put the feet

Tom: out? They left the feet on.

Crystal: Whoops.

Tom: And you could see who was it? Someone was like pr. It was like someone practicing on a modality that they had never done before.

Crystal: Yeah. Those were, those were weird times.

Tom: Yeah. We’re like do you know, you’ll have to feed on,

Crystal: yeah.

Tom: Long time listeners might recall the Bike Rust lawsuit,

Crystal: rust Gate,

Tom: and it has been officially [00:22:00] dismissed.

Crystal: I mean, am I imagining this or was, I thought this had already been done years ago. I don’t

Tom: know. Well, there was, there was like a guy at the very beginning who was claiming his bike rusted.

Crystal: Yeah. Well that, that never even made it to a real lawsuit.

Yeah. Like that guy, that guy was a joke

Tom: because we were just like, this is complete bullshit.

Crystal: Yeah. Yeah.

Tom: And, and it then it just kind of went away.

Crystal: It did go away.

Tom: Yeah.

Crystal: But the, but yeah, because

Tom: wasn’t fully like, thank you for doing this.

Crystal: No comics. That’s the kind of stuff we’re not supposed to say.

Tom: Oh, sorry.

I mean, it’s been long enough. What’s he gonna do? Not to send us a free rug?

Crystal: He doesn’t work there anymore.

Tom: Oh.

Crystal: Our NDA for that issue has been cleared.

Tom: Okay. But, uh, but yeah, we were just like this, there’s no way that this is real. But then it, something else popped back up and there

Crystal: was, yeah, yeah. There, there have been issues with, uh, that they had like a lawsuit about, and people have had rust issues and, and typically there are extenuating [00:23:00] circumstances.

I’m not saying every single case, but like if you live. Next to the ocean, especially if you use your bike outdoors.

Tom: Yeah. A lot of people, if you don’t live in that, like in Florida, you might not realize, but like a lot of people, they put it in their garage.

Crystal: Mm-hmm. Or like their sun porch.

Tom: Yeah.

Crystal: You know, there’s a lot of people have like covered porches.

Tom: Yeah. But there’s no like climate control there. So like over time prep, but yeah. These weren’t designed to be outdoor equipment.

Crystal: No, but I mean my 2016 bike, which I had sold during the, the pandemic when I got my bike plus it. It was like imperfect, pristine condition. It had nothing on it. Yeah. I will also say there are people that sweat a lot more than I do.

That’s true. And especially if it gets in the welds. Mm-hmm. Uh, then, then that can cause issues. But that’s, people will often use towels and things like that, like on the. The middle of their bike to kind of catch it. Yeah. Um, in fact, there’s even a third party creator out there, I can’t remember what their name is, but they have like one that you can, like, you can put it over it like a sweat towel that soaps it all up.

Right. Yeah.

Which I [00:24:00] recommend for people that sweat enough to bother.

Yeah.

I’m like excited when I have a few. Drops of sweat on the ground around my bike, like I did something, you know, because usually I don’t sweat enough that it drips off of me. Right. I sweat, but it doesn’t. But like some people have puddles, man.

Right. I remember not too long ago when they had the, uh, two hour power zone ride in the studio and they showed the floor afterwards and like between Christian Vanderbilt and Matt Wiler and all the other people in the studio, there was like a lake on the foil. It was disgusting. It would not happen in my house.

Yeah. Like I. I don’t, that’s not enough. It wouldn’t happen.

Tom: Yeah.

Crystal: So

Tom: I’m not adding to it. The equation,

Crystal: as

Tom: we all know,

Crystal: we do know.

Tom: Yeah,

Crystal: we do.

Tom: So, but anyway, this lawsuit has finally been put behind us.

Crystal: It has no more Rust Gate. Yes. Dismissed. We can all move on. It is not Project 10 Man, as they alleged. They said it was a coverup.

Who knows? A Project 10 Man, that’s so insane.

Tom: Uh, we all know is a project Scarecrow.

[00:25:00] Speaking of moving on, we shall do that as well. And coming up after this, we will have instructors in the news. We’ll talk about the me, myself, and I festival, who is featured in People Magazine and even more conference updates. So stick around.

Tom: robin Arza and Camilla Ramon are going to be at the me, myself and I festival in Puerto Rico.

Crystal: Yeah. April 11th. So coming up this weekend and, and that Peloton is participating in, it’s a full day event that goes from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM Uh, there’s gonna be short classes, they’re gonna be 10 to 30 minutes across five different zones with 18 different trainers and special guests leading 23 sessions throughout the day.

Um, so that is really cool.

Tom: It’s a 23 and me and myself, and I. Festival.

Crystal: Yes. Uh, so Robin is leading two different classes and Camila is leading two different [00:26:00] classes. And you can also get your tickets. We’ve got all of the, uh, links and all the things at the. Article online,

Tom: uh, Rebecca Kennedy was featured in People Magazine.

Crystal: She was and specifically to talk about menopause and coverage and like how the magazine itself was talking about how menopause is having a moment when it comes to exercise classes. And Rebecca Kennedy was specifically. The person who was kind of repping Peloton and their, yeah, their coverage of it.

Tom: Well, it hopefully it’s not a moment.

Crystal: I mean, you would, ‘

Tom: cause people are, there will always be more people in menopause.

Crystal: You know? You’d think that it wouldn’t just be a moment, Tom,

Tom: there’s a never ending supply

Crystal: and yet

Tom: of the menopausal

Crystal: I am. 50 years old and I was just listening to two women talk on a show yesterday that didn’t know the difference between perimenopause and menopause.

On television and it was a news program. So is it really crazy [00:27:00] to think that this could be just a moment? I mean, I would like to think that we are really educating people, but truly, I can’t tell you how many people don’t even get the difference between that and that’s women. Yeah. These were two women having this conversation and it’s no one’s fault.

It’s a lack of education. Yeah. And um, so I don’t say that in a way to be mean to those people. I say it because it’s shocking. It’s shocking. Well,

Tom: I think science will be able to focus on this now that they finally resolved the fart issue Oh. That we will be addressing in bonus.

Crystal: Okay. So, okay. Now that we’ve got that outta the way, we’ve

Tom: put this behind us.

We know who’s, whose farts are worse, and we can finally focus on less important matters. Like the menopause.

Crystal: Well, congrats to Rebecca Kennedy for being covered in People Magazine and being included.

Tom: I’m sure she’s very happy that we’re discussing well fart science during her segment.

Crystal: She probably will be less excited to know about the next thing that I was gonna say, which is that surprisingly people have had a huge issue with who got pitched for this.

They are [00:28:00] very upset that Rebecca is. Not, and this is quotes and not my quote. Yeah. Not old enough to have gone through menopause. She doesn’t know what she’s talking about and it’s not fair. Like there are women saying that. Okay, last I checked, none of us were Rebecca Kennedy’s doctors.

Tom: Yeah.

Crystal: So we don’t actually know her status

Tom: because there’s a wide age range.

Crystal: It’s huge

Tom: when perimenopause can start.

Crystal: Yeah. Like, uh, some women start perimenopause in their thirties and you can still get pregnant in the middle of perimenopause. It’s rare. I mean, relatively speaking statistically, but it does happen. Right? It does happen. And so. There’s a big difference between perimenopause and menopause, but the same.

Exercises would be helpful for both. Right. And and also she’s going to be 40 next year. I started my perimenopause in my late thirties, like, so I don’t know whether she is or whether she isn’t, but she’s also a certified personal trainer. Right. She can [00:29:00] still have the education whether she is gone through menopause or not.

Tom: Right.

Crystal: I, I would love to see a Susie Chan or Jocelyn Thompson rule, or Christine to be featured. Because they’ve been talking about this right. Longer. Right. That’s my opinion.

Tom: My urologist is a woman.

Crystal: What? I

Tom: don’t know how to break it to you, but she does not have a prostate.

Crystal: And I mean, and listen, when I go to a gynecologist, I only go to a woman.

Tom: Yeah.

Crystal: Because I don’t like the way some men make me feel very uncomfortable in doctor’s offices. Sure. But I am not saying they can’t. Know the medical

right.

But I also don’t think they take women seriously as seriously as women typically do.

Yeah.

So I just, but to say that like, somebody can’t talk about this because they haven’t gone through it, I don’t know.

I, I, like I said, I would’ve liked to have seen other instructors featured just because they’ve been consistently [00:30:00] pushing this programming for a very long time. Right? Yes. But I, I, I don’t know that it’s fair to say this about Rebecca, and a lot of people got real upset at the people who dared to speak their minds.

Like it was ugly. Yeah. In the comments, it was ugly.

Tom: Ugly comments on the internet.

Crystal: I know. It’s real crazy.

Tom: What a strange and unique occurrence, Logan Aldridge. Is going to lead a conference workout at the N-I-R-S-A 2026 conference festival meeting extravaganza.

Crystal: It happened already April 7th through 10th.

Oh wait, it’s, it started. It hasn’t

Tom: apology accepted

Crystal: my bad. Uh, it’s another one that we are seeing pre-core and Peloton team up. Yeah, but they’re also going to have Logan there to lead. The workout to show them, to show people what the different equipment can do, what the possibilities are, and that’s pretty cool.

And so this particular, um, conference is [00:31:00] about collegiate recreation. Okay. Uh, that’s what this one focuses on. So, hopefully go Peloton. Go precore, yeah. Or sell some shit.

Tom: Get ’em young.

Crystal: That’s right.

Tom: Get ’em young. And that’s just what they use

Crystal: as they won’t change their deodorant for 40 years. Yeah.

Tom: I have not.

Thank you very much. I, I, that’s why they do that though. It’s crazy. Like, I remember when I was in college. The fraternity I was in Gillette dropped off a bunch of razors that had our letters on them and uh, and we all took ’em home. And here we are 40 years later. Damn close. I still use Gillette.

Crystal: Still use it.

Tom: Still use it.

Crystal: Gotta have the matching deodorant. Gotta have the matching shaving cream. It’s the whole thing. Yeah. And Brian will be like that. Only he’ll do it for the bro Stuff

Tom: with Old Spice.

Crystal: Old Spice is

Tom: funny,

Crystal: which is so funny.

Tom: Which when I, back then, when I was using Gillette, old Spice was for old men.

Crystal: Yep.

Tom: You, there was like one version of Old Spice. It was on the very top shelf all by its lonesome.

Crystal: [00:32:00] When my, my grandpa passed away when I was like six on my mom’s side. And, uh, I, they lived in an old farmhouse in this very small town in rural Missouri, and they literally had a cow farm, like it was out in the middle of nowhere.

Yeah. And, uh, I remember. Going down to the basement where I guess my grandpa got ready by himself. That’s a whole different conversation ’cause my grandma was not a nice person. But, um. There was Old Spice products. Yeah. I And And he had like the old timey shaving cream with the brush. Right. Yeah. You know what I mean?

And the bowl, the pot and the little,

Tom: he had to like concoct it. Yes.

Crystal: All of that was there and I was like, wow, this is really different from my dad’s. ’cause my dad did the shaving gel. Right. The electric razor. It was all different.

Tom: It’s been lots of breakthroughs in shaving technology.

Crystal: Yeah. You got that fancy heated shaver.

Yeah.

Tom: Speaking of conferences,

Crystal: yeah.

Tom: Tunde will speak at conferences for women.

Crystal: It’s called the Texas Conference for Women. Uh, [00:33:00] but the, this, the registration opens up on April 8th and the actual conference takes place on October 5th. This is a very notable conference, though, because of the company that she is joining.

Uh, did you see who else is on this ticket?

Tom: America’s favorite Shiksa. Kristen Bell,

Crystal: she’s amazing. Uh, and then Hoda Cobb is gonna be there,

Tom: Coby.

Crystal: Koby,

Tom: I’m pretty sure,

Crystal: You would know better than I would. Yeah. I just know her by Hoda. Yeah. I was trying to be like, make sure I said her last

Tom: name.

Crystal: Yeah. But then I messed it up.

But, um, your sister loves Hoda.

Tom: She does love the Hoda.

Crystal: And then Lon Meyer, I don’t even know if that’s how you say it, but she’s amazing. She’s the, she’s the female. Olympic rugby medalist.

Tom: I, as soon as you said the name and I was like, I don’t know this one. I’m like, I bet it’s sports.

Crystal: It is sports. But you would recognize this woman because, uh, she does not have like a typical like super curvy body.

She’s like, but she’s like incredibly powerful and strong.

Tom: I don’t notice other

Crystal: women’s bodies. And [00:34:00] she talks about. How she gets treated on the internet all the time, because men especially are so mean to her. Yeah. And like, and she’s so outspoken about how much bullshit that is. I love her. And then of course Tunde.

I don’t know who Cody Sanchez is, but that’s another one that will be there. She’s a New York bestselling author of Main Street Millionaire, whatever that is.

Tom: Okay.

Crystal: So anyway, this is a big deal. This is a big deal. So that’s really cool that Tunde is part of this

Tom: Hannah Corbins. Country Happy Hour has returned.

Crystal: Yeah, it’s been like a year since that. We didn’t even realize this much time had passed.

Tom: That’s been pretty sad over in country music.

Crystal: Well, no comment. So anyway, I want to say so much. So this is actually season seven. I did not realize it had been around this long. Yeah, sometimes I feel so old, but it’s, it’s back on April 18th and it will be.

Back. Yeah.

Tom: Okay.

Crystal: How exciting.

Tom: Yeah. And then, uh, finally, Jen Sherman’s, dear founder, her tour has [00:35:00] added two dates.

Crystal: Those two dates are gonna be, uh, April 16th in Atlanta, Georgia, and April 22nd in Rosalyn, New York. So both events will be from seven to 9:00 PM uh, local time, and, uh, you can hear as they like to put it, how to navigate your post 40 pivots. Or talk about your back nine.

I know a lot of people really love this back nine era thing. Yeah. But I just, I really don’t like that terminology. I, I just, it like really strikes a negative chord within me.

Tom: Yeah. It just is like, and then you die.

Crystal: Yeah.

Tom: Yeah.

Crystal: And I it does not inspire me the way some people do, but man, people love it.

Yeah. They are all over it. It’s, people are super excited about it, so I’m sure those will be well attended events.

Tom: whoop, has raised $575 million ahead of its expected. Anticipated. PO.

Crystal: Yeah. And their valuation is now [00:36:00] $10.1 billion. Wow. Yeah. No, they have not confirmed any timing for this IPO, but that’s just what people think is gonna happen. Uh, they have, whoop has 2.5 million members. It’s all a subscription based model, and they were cash flow positive in 2025.

They saw a hundred percent plus subscription growth.

Tom: Wow.

Crystal: And, uh. Here we go. I know that they also said, we talked about this recently, that they were gonna hire, like they were gonna increase their head count by like 75%. Yeah. It was an insane number. I hope that I’m like a little worried about them because that’s a lot of growth really fast.

Yeah, for sure. And I just know what happen when Peloton. Yeah. And then it all kind of went to shit during the pandemic. Now it’s a different time.

Tom: Yeah.

Crystal: And God willing, we won’t have another pandemic. Um, but uh, but

Tom: if we do. Whoop. We’ll see it coming because they’ll track it on your data.

Crystal: You know what I, I could tell when I got sick.

I still can tell when I get sick before I, I feel it. Yeah. It [00:37:00] is amazing. It is cool stuff. Like, it’s really cool tech. I really love my, whoop. I am a huge supporter. And I think we mentioned this a couple weeks ago, but when we were at, uh, Peloton, I kept seeing instructors that had it and they love their, whoops.

Yeah. Like it is a genuine love. A genuine,

Tom: and these aren’t sponsorships, right? Like they, no, none of them. To our knowledge, or to my knowledge anyway. Are repping for whoop on their, on, on their social media channel? Nope. So like that’s just something that they bought. ’cause they want the info.

Crystal: Yeah.

Yeah. I saw Ben Aldis interacting with will Ahmed, the guy who, who started whoop.

Tom: Yeah.

Crystal: When he was 22 years old, by the way. Wow. Well Ahmed has been doing this since he’s 22. Yeah. He’s done this company from the ground up.

Tom: Yeah. It’s a lot of data.

Crystal: It’s a lot of data. It’s a lot of, I’m impressed with it.

Tom: Yeah.

Crystal: I’ve tried to get an interview. The guy won’t answer me. I’m not. I’m not Ben.

Tom: Well, I’m glad

Crystal: that Me too. It would be weird.

Tom: It would make our marriage very awkward.

Crystal: It would, yeah. Yeah.

Tom: Coming up after this, we got content. We’re gonna give you the TCO top five, and we’re [00:38:00] gonna take a look at all the upcoming classes that we think you should be considering.

So sit tight.

Tom: it is time for the TCO top five. You have told us your favorite classes. We agreed here they are. Favorite strength class

Crystal: Veen Melling, uh, nominated this class. It was taught by Zacharias Na Jetski on April 4th. It was a 30 minute glutes and legs strength. And she said this strength class from Zacharias was excellent.

Great programming, perfect rest periods playlist, and I love the dynamic warmup and final stretch bookmarking this one to do again and again. And I did it with kettle bills, which worked perfectly.

Tom: Okay. Number two, your favorite walk

Crystal: allele. Bellard, uh, nominated this class and she got to be there. In person for this class.

Oh. Had the chance to take this class at PSL this week and it was great. A 60 minute eighties walk with John, inclined dancing, singing, [00:39:00] laughing, having fun while building endurance. Highly recommend his 60 minute walk, having fun while being motivated and encouraged to keep going during tough times.

Importance of community and some singing and dancing. Uh, and that took place on April 3rd. It was an eighties walk, a 60 minute eighties walk, which I actually really wanna take. I think that’ll be a lot of fun. Like John Hoskins. Great attitude, awesome playlist. Yeah. And walking, it seems great.

Tom: Uh, number three, your favorite power zone ride.

Crystal: So, Laura. Laura Corcoran.

Tom: Yes.

Crystal: Simple and sweet. Best class with Christian Vanderbilt 30 minute Power Zone on April 2nd.

Tom: To the point.

Crystal: To the point,

Tom: yes.

Crystal: 30 minute power zone ride taught by Christian at on April 2nd, 5:30 AM central because that’s where I took the picture.

Tom: Yes. Uh, number four, your favorite yoga slash Pilates fusion.

Crystal: [00:40:00] Nikki Smith, AKA,

Tom: heard of her

Crystal: helper. Be Nikki. Uh, she or Sport. My sports bra is stuck. That’s her leaderboard name. Yeah, it is not helper. Be Nikki. Um, she, but

Tom: it should be, she

Crystal: recommended this 30 minute Yoga plus Pilates class from March 22nd. She said. I took this medium spicy yoga and Pilates class in studio with Greta and I plan to take it over and over again at home.

The transitions between yoga and Pilates are. Buttery smooth. And this class works every aspect of your core, not your abs, your core, the kind of work that we all need, but tend to avoid. The 30 minutes flies by and you won’t even know she kicked your butt until the following day when you’re wondering what in the world made you your torso so sore.

The answer is, Greta. Greta made you sore. And then you’ll wanna take the class all over again.

Tom: And, uh, finally, number five. A class so hard, you dare not stack it. We call it an uns stackable and surprise. It’s a power zone ride.

Crystal: It is. And surprise, surprise, it was nominated by Elizabeth Schlossberg.

Uh, it [00:41:00] was Matt’s class that was a 60 minute power zone ride from April 4th, and I feel like this is half. Nominee and half warning. Okay. Um,

Tom: unst stackables typically are,

Crystal: if you’re following Matt’s year long progression plan in the Saturday live rides. This was the first major jump up out of base building.

It was a zone four pyramid with intervals of 4, 6, 8, 6, 4 minutes. Zone two recoveries between Matt clarified that these long zone four efforts are the plan for April and that each weekend we are expanding them to, I think 12 minute by month end. Yikes. That’s her. Yikes. He’s says

Tom: he’s not an editorial.

Yikes. That came from the source.

Crystal: He says it’s a mental game, and of course he’s right. Most of us who’ve done. PT test or five, no, we can do this work. Get the length of the class and the lack of the true recovery. Staying in zone two was the real test in all the ways. I actually bonged halfway through I finished, but it was rough.

Literally Unst stackable. But no matter, my memory is short and I’m here for everything [00:42:00] he’s offering. So I’ll be back next weekend. Just to clarify why I say this is half warning.

Yeah.

Her, both hers and Nikki’s were actually a little bit longer and I, I trimmed them down for the quote that I put on the socials, but.

The deal is this is going to increase, like, like she said, it’s gonna go to 12 minutes by months in. So every weekend they’re gonna get harder.

Tom: Yeah.

Crystal: So that unst stackable becomes unstack like by the end of April. This won’t be an unst stackable for these folks. This is gonna be easy peasy. Oh yeah.

Tom: Okay.

Crystal: All right.

Tom: Uh, moving along, taking a look at this week at Peloton, we have new bench strength.

Crystal: We do. This one is taught by Tunde. And this is the first bench strength that I know of that she has taught. Yeah. On the Peloton platform. I’m sure she’s done plenty of bench strength Yeah. In her life.

But, uh, yeah, this is really cool. It’s, uh, April 8th at 12:00 AM Eastern. It’s a 20 minute chest and back strength, so. That’s coming up and we’re hoping [00:43:00] that they’re gonna keep adding. We’ve seen a couple of other bench strength classes pop up. Right. But they’re not all making it to the collection, just so you know.

I don’t know how they choose.

Tom: Right.

Crystal: Or don’t choose, but some of them haven’t made it there. I don’t know.

Tom: Who knows?

Crystal: I, I don’t know.

Tom: Yeah, we have, uh, new power yoga.

Crystal: We do. Yeah. These appear to be kind of a new modality since we’ve had the new instructors join and, um, there are three of them coming up.

One with Zacharias, one with Kira, and one with Chelsea. All of those are gonna be coming up this week.

Tom: There’s Retton with Camila.

Crystal: Yes, she is going to be teaching a 30 minute reggaeton ride. And that is gonna be on April 6th

Tom: and a 60 minute walk with John Hoskin,

Crystal: which it is going to be another eighties walk, so I have that to look forward to, but it is going to be taking place at 1:00 PM Eastern on April 3rd, so I missed it.

It’ll still be for you. That can’t be right. That can’t be right. April [00:44:00] 3rd. The rest of these are, I guess it could have been, yeah this week’s drop at a weird time.

Tom: Yeah.

Crystal: But yeah. Anyway. Cool.

Tom: Pelotons live cross training program is almost, here

Crystal: it is. It starts on April 13th. How exciting. This is, this is, I have to say, I’m really like Peloton took feedback from people,

Tom: Uhhuh,

Crystal: and they used it.

Tom: You sound so

Crystal: surprised. I, I am. I am very happy that they did. Um, because what they did is they actually showed the week ahead of time here’s what the classes are gonna be, here’s the layout.

Yeah.

And they put it on Instagram and then they told everybody. When the classes are gonna drop. And so they’re all gonna be live.

And the idea is that the classes will happen, I think at like six 30 Eastern, right? Every morning. And uh, then they’re going to be able to, you can choose for your cardio days, you get to choose between row bike or running. And then the other days are strength. And those are kind of like built in. And then at the end of the month, [00:45:00] we have, of course, the German program launching.

So that’s gonna have 10 instructors in instead of just the five. So, pretty cool.

Tom: Emma Love Well’s first, 45 minute Pilates class.

Crystal: This is a milestone.

Tom: Yeah.

Crystal: We, the Pilates classes have been longer and longer but this is the first 45 minute class that we have had, and it also features an accessory for the ball.

We are hoping that Peloton is going to continue to hear people’s feedback and put a little filter on accessories so we can find these kinds of classes when we wanna find them in a hurry. That makes

Tom: sense.

Crystal: It’s not always easy to find.

Tom: Sure.

Crystal: Yeah.

Tom: We mentioned earlier about Robin and Camille going to Puerto Rico and Peloton is celebrating Port Puerto Rico with its Dai rhythm collection.

I think that’s how you say that.

Crystal: Yeah. I I’m actually not sure.

Tom: I believe it’s like, it’s not Dale, like, I think it’s a Spanish word.

Crystal: I, no, definitely. Definitely. Yeah. And it, this is this. These classes have actually been coming out since like [00:46:00] 23, but having it in a collection makes it so much easier to find.

Yeah, there are already 63 classes in the collection, so it’s great that they’re making a collection for people to be able to find it. Right. Um, so that’s incredible. And lots of fun, fun classes in here. Lots of really uplifting great music, so hopefully people will check that out.

Tom: Uh, Peloton has a new kettlebell challenge.

I struggle with the word kettlebell.

Crystal: I know. I wanna say ball.

Tom: I always wanna say kettle ball, which of course would chafe.

Crystal: That’s true.

Tom: Yeah,

Crystal: that’s true. Uh, yes. Okay. So, in the month of April, the new challenge is that you can take three, five, or 10 kettlebell classes and there will be new classes dropping weekly for these kettlebell challenge.

So, every, I think it’s Wednesday, they’re gonna drop kettlebell classes and, um, that’s how you get a special badge to be able to do that.

Tom: Uh, Zacharias has some. Back to basic yoga for people.

Crystal: Yeah. So Peloton, when they’ve, [00:47:00] they’ve done this a few times mm-hmm. Where they’ve like posted classes that are foundational for yoga to show people how to do the different moves.

Really Break it down. Yeah. Into the simplest, features and uh, there’s going to be a new series of these that Zacharia is, is leading. And I think it’s good to refresh that content. As we all know, classes do get purged off of the platform. Sure. And so every few years we need to, we’d have a new set of these.

Yeah. Because the other ones are gone now.

Tom: And for what it sounds like it’s probably not a bad idea to remind Zacharia that people might be new to yoga.

Crystal: Yeah. Yeah. Um, hey, Zacharia when you’re doing those classes if you could break it down and pretend you’ve never done yoga when you break it down, that’d be cool for those of us who don’t move like you.

He’s so talented though. It’s crazy.

Tom: And finally we have an interesting. AI hack for class discovery if AI is your jam.

Crystal: So Claude has paid plans and they have free plans. Mm-hmm.

Their free plan does not have co-work, but their paid [00:48:00] plans, both of their paid plans do. Right. And co-work allows you to set up tasks that Claude will run on your behalf autonomously. And, that is the basis of this, that once a week or however often you want it to do it, it can go into Peloton, look at the live class schedule based on your preferences, and put together a workout list for you, and then if you approve it, it will then add it to your Peloton schedule.

It’s really freaking cool.

Tom: Yeah,

Crystal: it’s really cool. I tested it out and we have a whole article explaining how to do all of it. Um, so that’ll be out there on the clip out.com.

Tom: Awesome. Well, there are no birthdays this week, so that brings this episode to a close.

Crystal: Oh, sure.

Tom: Yeah. Until next time. Where can people find you?

Crystal: People can find me on Facebook at facebook.com/crystal Do O’Keefe. They can also find me on, uh, Instagram threads Blue Sky and the Peloton leaderboard. Bored at Clip Out Crystal,

Crystal: Way

Tom: Yeah, I know what people want. So come on over.

Crystal: Well, we’ll be talking about other stuff too.

Tom: Yes, but mostly farts.
