Ben joins Kyle and Ron as they discuss the brand new partnership of Chilly Goat tubs as the title sponsor of the Masters Fitness Championship.

Kyle and Ron talk about the huge news that Chilly GOAT Tubs is the new title sponsor of the Masters Fitness Championship! Ron has a ton of experience with cold tubs and Kyle is too much of a sissy to try them out so it's a great conversation!

Bella, Ron, and Kyle are joined on the podcast by Bella's dog who just sits and looks into the camera most of the time like he's being interviewed! But the speaking members of the team talk about their experiences with 24.2, what's coming for 24.3, and also share their excitement for the new CMO of HQ as they look at what she did at Barry's! As always the trio shares loads of laughs and even more stories! To catch the video version head to youtube at https://youtu.be/PKs_hjhNhQU

Join Ron Ortiz, Jamie Free, and Kyle Shipp as they wait, often quite humorously, for the open announcement. The trio did a live instagram broadcast to breakdown 24.1. At least that was the intention until the open announcement drug on through commercials, a synchronized "competition" amongst the athletes, and an homage to Dave's open announcements. After all that we finally got to hear the workout and start the breakdown. Until then Ron, Jamie, and Kyle share a lot of laughs and stories. And if you can listen very close you can hear Kyle start to get very tense about how long the entire process was taking!!!
