03:05 If you hit the crossbar with your nuts and you want to puke. Yeah, I never had that experience Okay has anyone kicked you in the nuts? I'm sure someone's kicked you in the nuts at some point. Okay how does it feel like you wanna puke? I've never had that notion that I wanted to puke okay well You haven't been kicked hard enough anyway. No no I just never yeah now before we talk about The Debate which everyone is wanting to hear of course Something odd happened yesterday The Apple guys were in town, you know. Of course now they're here quite a bit because they have 6,000 employees here and a lot of the customer care service center including the iTunes and podcaster support system is all in Austin so you know the VP over there at Apple who invited me out last time said
03:57 We're going to have another dinner, inviting a couple other podcasters from the Austin area. And this was supposed to happen on Tuesday." I said, oh that'll be fun and then they changed it. He said, Adam we've changed it to Wednesday and I was all kind of like ready to say no, I don't think so because you know I got to watch the debate again. The reason why is that we were moving the dinner and we've also been invited to watch the debate at a very prominent podcasters house in Austin I'm thinking, hold on a second. I'm the prominent podcaster in Austin what's going on with this? And it's like what?
04:35 So who's the prominent podcaster in Austin? Well, so it was not you. No clearly. So six o'clock Alex no, no, no, no. Six o'clock I roll up and by the way on the list Dan Benjamin from five by five Brian Brushwood uh cool people are some of them locals to local yo the local yokels And I was like, wow this is a fancy neighborhood in Tarrytown which is you know there's it's a fancy neighborhood in Austin. So and you know the gate has opened just drive up and knock on the door who do you think opens? Lance Armstrong! He's a podcaster? Yes! I didn't even know this they should have told me he has a... he's restarting his life I guess and he has this whole concept called WeDo we do sports W-E-D-U
05:27 And so I was like, hey man this is really weird. He said, hi nice to meet you! And his kids were running around and his wife and everyone it's like a big family scene and he was the nicest guy in the universe totally cool And so yeah, I guess what happened was he had started this podcast which seriously is a...I'll put a link in the show notes. It's good! He interviews people like Malcolm Gladwell, we got Seal and all these people and he has a presence. He knows how to do it. I was quite surprised. Uh, it was kind of surreal to be there. And of course you know no one's really talking about the big elephant in the room but I have to say I got the impression from him- What is a big elephant in the room? Uh hello? Lance Armstrong...I mean if you say to anyone you didn't do it yeah well I met Lance Armstrong was at his house The first thing people say is oh did you check the medicine cabinet anything good in there that kind of shit and of course I'm like you know
06:32 He should never underestimate the memory of the American public. We forget stuff, so he's going to be the comeback kid." He's humble man. He knows that... Yeah I'm sure he is. ...He knows everything went wrong. He has to be! So what was interesting besides just meeting him and oh my god, the art in this house. He has a Damien Hirst butterfly church window which is good thing's gotta be six or seven feet high I mean he has an amazing collection of graffiti art Oh! I mean totally totally fantastic so you know then of course after we have a little bit more hanging out with just talking and then let's watch the debate now this was very interesting
07:16 Because I don't, everyone was kind of like being quiet. Like no one knew who was what so no one really wanted to be overly enthusiastic if Clinton said something or Trump said something or Lance's wife Anna obviously a Hill girl and it was they are taking notes and they thought it was taking notes about the debate. I'm taking notes looking at them! It was so interesting And Lance, he didn't even want to watch. He's like I don't want to watch it's all bullcrap and...he probably has a relatively healthy attitude but his wife you know it was really interesting to see at first the cognitive dissonance was very present and Trump starts to say something and she sits next me she looks so I can't even look I can't even listen to him
08:07 Wow, that's really severe. But as the evening went on... It is severe! Yeah as the evening went on and you know there were people who are saying some pretty interesting things in our group and you know both sides of it. I was fun to see that she really got interested and she for instance had no idea what the Heller case was regarding the Second Amendment. You know, she said no fly zone. That's great we're gonna save people's lives you know and actually Rushwood said now down it's you know there's a problem because the Russians will be flying and get into a conflict then So it was don't save too many lives in World War three that's what you just should have said to her you said hey You don't save too many lives in World War three Excuse me
08:59 So as we discussed it, I'll probably...I took lots of notes obviously. As we discuss what happened, I'll come up with a couple things that I noticed as we were talking about it. But anyway, I think that Lance and I are probably going to hookup again. He actually said, ''I'm kind of interested in that spin class thing you're doing.'' Can you imagine me taking Lance Armstrong to spin class? It would be ridiculous. Get him to listen to the podcast, not this class! I'm pretty sure he listens He was very aware Yeah, he's very aware Of course, I wasn't aware of his friggin' podcast Like I didn't figure it out until you know on my way home like oh man, he's got like 20 episodes and it's not too bad
09:46 Well, 20 episodes is just the beginning. You don't even get discovered until you do 100. I bet she doesn't even get that far! Well of course he has the promotion from iTunes they've helped him a lot and thats why you know part of why he did it. And thats why he had the... Of course. ...the leading there Who else was there besides you? Benjamin? Dan Benjamin, I got the list here hold on a second I can tell you exactly who was there. Um... Hey! What?! Say what say what Take notes good. Yes, yes yeah I'm gonna take note here we go We had okay here it is So Dan Benjamin Hattie cook that he's she's the I think sales manager station manager for dance Network 5x5 Brian Brushwood What's the other guy Ryan holiday? He's interesting fellow He wrote the book about lying you know who was a professional liar wasn't him in that book again and we talked about it
10:42 Yeah, I don't remember. Interesting guy it was pretty much all interesting people actually we got a nice little club here in Austin and now that we know we have a club house at Lance's place you know I'm thinking this podcasting is going places! You see how long that lasts once the old lady figures it out Hey... I don't want all these geeks at the house Seriously? It's like me thinking Lance Armstrong is hosting up a bunch of podcasters He's really rebooting. He's reached the bottom barrel, nice guy though but you know it doesn't matter how many times I'll tell someone that they all look at me like yeah he's a dick he's a liar like hey come on man this is America uh the guy knows if you hear about within 48 hours of you know that big was it 2012? I think when when the whole thing happened
11:40 He lost every single endorsement. 48 hours, everybody called. That's why he got that art collection is making tens of millions of dollars year after year for about a decade. Oh yeah! He must be worth over 100 million by the end of Apple. And he speaks Dutch that was pretty cool What? Well not fluent well because I was telling him you know me I grew up in Amsterdam and said I didn't know that about you so well there's a lot you don't know And then he says, oh, Kloetze. Romance! Romance, Lerch! Wait then he says, hey Kloetze. I'm like what? Hey, KrishnaKlote! Because all of his guys in the crew they were all Belgians you know the Belgian guys there that they're the riders of the world and other fantastic cyclists got a huge cycling culture so he learned all the nasty words from this Belgian crew He had good pronunciation too Yeah we'll get that down
