  Speaker 1: a lot. I've found him very entertaining and funny and motivational.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: I want to mention this is not an ad for Peloton.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: I don't even think there are are sponsors currently. But
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: this is solely because I thought that Cody's a really
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: interesting guy. He found a way to get me motivated
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: to work out in a different way, and I thought
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: that maybe he has some insights. We thought that he
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: surely has some insights for people that want to get
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: in shape and also just you know, achieving your goals,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: because this guy was where kean of McDonald's one day.

  Speaker 2: putting them on a bike and motivating them. And you know,
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: he was probably the most popular person at that time.
• 1:20

  Speaker 2: say about his rise. And you know, I want to
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: talk about Dancing with the Stars and Amanda Coloots as well.

  Speaker 1: like no I didn't say that, so the audience has context.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Cody came on for a sound check and I said, Joelle,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: take him off because I don't want to start chatting
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: with him and bust all my loads before recordings.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: That was the first innindo. Yes, and he hadn't even
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: out of recording yet.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Welcome to the show. We love you. I don't know, Donald,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: and I never knew if you were clocking how much
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: we were talking about you, especially during the lockdown, because
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: you were getting us through.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: Bro. You say, I've the grape fine many times, and
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: then I've I've peeped in a few times, you know
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: a few times before. So I'm uh honored to be.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: We're honored to have you, man.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Okay, you really you really helped us both during lockdown.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: We both got bikes, but both got Pelton bikes, and
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: we were talking about getting into it, and you know, I,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: of course, as a straight man, was like, Okay, I'm
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: just gonna find the cutest chick. She'll motivate me, I'll
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: want oh honest, no, I mean that's what my brain
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: was thinking. And then I found this very handsome, very
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: flamboyant came in and I never looked back.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I found that the I found that
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: the women I just was staring at the butt and
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: now necessarily staring at the numbers.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: Right, okay, and so much done right? And then.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: I found you. And I don't know how it was
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: I found you. I just said, I know. My wife
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: was the one that said you should try Cody, and
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: I was like what she was like, try Cody, And
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: I put you on and I laughed for the whole ride.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: You made me laugh so hard at a time when
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: I had just been crying, when I was, you know,
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: so worried about what my family was going to happen
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: with my family, when you know, when when life just
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: seemed so flipped, when life just seemed like it was
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: it was bysmal, you know what I mean. We were
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: all so scared and didn't know what to do, and
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: then here you come and you made me laugh at
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: a time when I didn't think I could laugh. And uh,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: you know, one of your rides, I cried my eyes
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: out because of all of the joy you brought me
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: and all of the release that I got from the
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: endorphins from the ride and the motivation and how I
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: could keep going in that time and so you know,
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: I really for real, man, like you really you saved
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: my life. Man, at a time when I didn't think
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: there was a bright spot when COVID, all of the
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: news out there was just so dark, you know, Black
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Lives Matter, all of these things were going down, and
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: there you were, and I just I just want to say,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: I want to give you flowers. Man, I appreciate it.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: Thank you. That's very kind, That's very very sweet. And
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: I love I love when I hear stories like that,
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: because it really, you know, you get lost in this
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: auce of working and trying to build everything up and
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: just staying busy, and then you forget, like the the
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: purpose that's attached to the work that you do and
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: the lives that you affect in like whatever you do,
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: but specifically, you know, fitness, and especially during the during COVID,
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: I forget almost just how that was one of the
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: only like safe spaces or places of distraction that a
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: lot of people had. Was like Okay, I'm doing I'm
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: gonna work out for thirty minutes. I'm gonna forget there's
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: a pandemic happened. I'm just gonna like be stupid and
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: silly and have fun and it's always great to hear
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: the impact, and so thanks for sharing that.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: I think for Donald and I, you know, you know,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: for the audience who doesn't know and doesn't use Peloton.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Cody does a workout that's hard and challenging and you
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: sweat your your ass off, but he's really funny. And
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: I never worked out with anyone like that, and I
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: wanted to know. I wanted to ask you how you
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: came about finding that. I mean, obviously you're a funny person,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: but I never worked out with a trainer of any kind,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: and any either a video class or in real life
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: who was making you crack up the whole time. And
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: I thought like, wow, what a what a what an
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: out of the box way to work out? And I
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: just wondered how you came about finding that and what
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: that when you how did you find your stride like that?
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Like how did it all come about? Like how did
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: you join Peloton? And then and then how did you
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: discover your your sense of humor in doing the class?
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: Well, like any gay child that's had trauma, you know,
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: I over compensate with humor and wit, So that's part
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: of it, no, you know, I I reflected on this
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: in my book, and I was talking about like how
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: did I kind of get to this place. You know,
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: I've been at Pelton just today. I think they sent
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: me an email with today is my like nine year anniversary.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: So I've been at Pelton for nine years.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: Thundrous applause Daniel, Ye thunders.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: Didn't start sound there will? We will, so thank you.
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: So it's been a long journey and it's been a
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: lot of like ups and downs and trying different things.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: And I think when I first came in it listened.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: I had never taught a cycling class and there was
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: a fitness class. Before I started at Pelton, I was
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: a dancer. I was an entertainer. I kind of like
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: knew how to be on camera. And so when I
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: first started, I kind of was trying to copy the
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: people that was around me, like Robin Robin Arson and
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: Jess King and just like trying to like be like them.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: And that wasn't sticky. That was like not successful for me.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: And it wasn't until I kind of like researched my
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: class kind of like watched it, saw what was going on,
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: and then gave myself permission to be myself and like
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: I'm always the person in my friend group that's like
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: talking all the time, or making jokes or just like
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: being being a dumb ass. And so I think once
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: I gave myself permission to do that, I think a
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: lot of people responded to that and really found it
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: different than most people in the fitness space. And I
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: think that's really what I've been able to have the
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: privilege to do is kind of make fitness not so
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: scary by being a dumb ass, being a clown, and
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: allowing myself to be like self deprecating humor so that
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: people feel more invited to a somewhat scary space. Does
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: that make sense?
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, that's a good way to put it. Because
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: people dread working out usually not everyone, Yeah, a lot
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: of people dread working people. But when I think about
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: taking your class, I know that I'm gonna I'm gonna laugh.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: I know there's going to be humor involved, and it's
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: more likely to to make me want to do it,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: which I think is genius. I don't think anyone's ever
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: done that before, and that I know.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I was wondering if, at at any
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: point in the last three years, were people like just
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: wanting to buy you dinner when you walked out into
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: restaurants and stuff like that.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean sometimes. I mean like even I was
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: on I was on Fire Island a few weeks ago,
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: and the line for the bar, for the bar, did.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: You break Fire Island? Did you Bland?
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: Always?
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: You know they say break the Internet? Did you break
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Fire Island?
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, she's well known on the island. It's
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: all good. But I remember the line for the bar
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: being so long, and this fierce little lesbian who was
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: a fan, was like, do you want to drink? So
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: like it saved me a little bit of time and
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: I got a free drink. But you know, I always
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: it feels weird to accept that sort of stuff, But
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: in that moment, I was like, you know what, Yes,
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: I'll take you it are you no? Me and I
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: have my boyfriend Andreas, who have been with for five years.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: We took a little hiatus for six months, but now
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: we're back together.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: So I just imagine it's an adjustment for you since
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: you know, you've become very famous and known pretty quickly,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: and it must be a bit of a an adjustment
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: for sure.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: I mean, not like maybe not so in the like
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: romance or hook up department. But because let's be honest,
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: like my my demo is mostly like women of a
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: certain age, and you out.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: That he's like Duald, I love that is like my
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: demo is mostly women of a certain age and YouTube.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: No, listen, listen, listen. I'm always surprised. There's like a
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: hashtag on the bike it says straight dudes for Cody,
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: And I'm always very surprised when like the straight guys
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: show up and they like are into what I'm putting down.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: I'm like, you know, I love to see it like
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: we're not. So we're not. We don't fit into these
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: boxes that we that we think we used to fit in,
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: you know, like.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, Now how did you You just said you
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: were a dancer and and I read you you worked
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: at the Box in Manhattan?
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: I did, Yes, Donald, you been there.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: I've not been to one of Manhattan. I've been to
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: the one in London.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, anyway, for those who don't know, it's a
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: it's like a kind of a burlesque crazy club where
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: there's performances. Cody, what did you do there? You dance there?
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: No? So this wasn't like a very transitional part of
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: my life is like I had been dancing professionally, like
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: a commercial dancer, back up Frednicky Minaj, Katie Perry, such
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: and such videos all that, and I got some point
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: where it was like, Okay, like this isn't paying the bills,
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: but I don't know what's next. So I really kind
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: of went out in to the world in New York.
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: I came back from lah I was in LA for
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: the summer, came back and I was like, I'm just
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: gonna work my ass off and do what I need
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: to do to make money. So I was like cater waitering,
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: going to the gym, working at the box, doing some
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: side gigs. And so I was at the Box and
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: I worked in front of the house and it was
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: kind of a ship job. So as you know, there's
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: a very risk show where there's lots of crazy things
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: going on and topless girls, and so my job was
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: to stop everyone from taking pictures on their phone even
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: at those job.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So and then people are drunk at that time
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: and night.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: They're drunk, they're annoying. So that's what I did at
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: the Box. But fortunately the choreographer slash director.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: Cock blocker, Yeah, a professional talk blocker.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: Cocker. I can't remember what it was called. Oh god,
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: it was so long ago. But yeah, the director knew
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: I was a dance sir, and so he had a
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: connection to Pelton. I was like, hey, this might be
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: a good fit for you, and I literally was just like, yeah,
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: here's another side gig I can do to make some
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: some coin that's not cater watering. And then here we are,
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: nine years later, right place, right time.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Wow, did you how did you? I mean, spinning on
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: the level that you do it is not easy and
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: I and I wonder how you especially talking the whole
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: time like you do. How did that transitioning from dancing on.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: This is the question that everyone wants to know. What
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: what's that resistance on broy.
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: Mine is like very similar to what I call out, Yeah,
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: because in a honesty, I can't. I can't fake it.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: I can't fake it if I'm doing it like I
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: need to do it and have a level of resistance that's.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: You have to talk the whole time. I was wondering,
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: I know, but like.
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: Babe, I can. I can sit here and talk about
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: nothing for hours, So that's not the problem. And I've
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: been doing it for nine years so my condition to
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: it is is easy at this point. It's like, in
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: all honesty, like a thirty minute second class is like
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: nothing to me at this point. I'd just be honest
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: not to flex or sound like.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if you do it for nine years, you'd expect that.
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: No, wait a second. My question was before Donald said
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: that when you first transitioned to doing it, were you
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: was it? Do you find it hard or did all
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: your dancing cardio help you pick it up quickly?
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: I think physically it wasn't like the I don't think
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: physically it was the hardest thing to transition from dance
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: to that. I think I had the endurance and like
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: I worked out pretty regularly, So it wasn't that that
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: that wasn't the hard part. It was more so I
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: always I've always said this before, I always feel like
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: Tom Cruise in the Minority Report when he's got that
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: big ass screen open and like you're doing, he's like
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: doing a million things at once. Like that's how teaching
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: a peloton class is. Because you've got we had the
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: studio audience, you've got the cameras, you've got the programming.
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: You got to cue the music like you're doing all
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: these things all at once to like simultaneously it together.
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: So I definitely like fumbled and stumbled my way through
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: the beginning, and even like the first community class that
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: I did probably like a year ago, I mean nine
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: years ago, I failed at because I was just like
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: a hot mess, and so I had to go back
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: to the drawing board and do it again. And then
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: I was finally like an official instructor. So I think
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: that was the hardest part, was just like balancing all
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: the damn things you got going on. And then once
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: I figured that out, then I was like, Okay, how
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: do I make this funny and stupid and fun You know, I.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: Have so many questions. My next one is are you
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: fully in charge of the music you play? Or does
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: anyone wagh in on what music you pick?
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: No, I'm full, fully in charge. I feel like I
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: could never relinquish control of that because it's it's such
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: an integral part of like the vibe and the energy
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: and the brand and all that sort of stuff, So
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: it would be really hard. I think there's like unless
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: it's like a theme ride or I don't know if
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: I should say this, but like we just had Barbie
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: rides and I the move for the movie, and I
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: are they like, well, I think that's like those were
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: like official, those were official rides. And I think I'm
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: glad that he didn't accept it when I did, because
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: I am a SAG member and I think if I
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: did the ride that would be technically like promoted, it
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: would have promoting the movie. I'm glad I declined it anyways,
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: But I was like, how am I gonna The soundtrack
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: doesn't hit for thirty minutes or twenty minutes for me,
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: so I don't think I would have fun teaching that class.
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: Like there's like I listened to this. I looked at
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: the soundtrack and I'm like, Okay, there's like three or
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: four like solid tracks here, but like, I don't know
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: if I could do a twenty minute, thirty minute ride
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: to this, because like, I don't know, it's just not
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: hitting for me specifically, right.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: So flash forward Dancing with the Stars, Nickoll, was it
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: a no brainer or were you like, you know, I'm
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: enjoying where I'm at right now, or were you like,
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: you know, let's let's show the world who Cody is.
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: Neither of you have done that right, no yet, but.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: Our friend you did it with our friend Amanda.
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: Clutes, lovely Amandiclutes, who's a phenomenal dancer. It was kind
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: of like, uh, I was like, Wow, this is a
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: great opportunity. I'm like honored and like excited that they
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: would even think of me to do it. So that
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: was that I think going into it, I was like
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: a little bit cockier or confident than I was once
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: I like landed in the space. Dancing with the stars
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: for me was like one of the most like one
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: of the hardest things I've ever done mentally, physically and emotionally.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: I'm so glad that I did it. I would never
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: do it again. Like if you put a million dollars
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: in front of me, I think I would be like sorry, sorry,
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: says I'm good, Like I'm not, I'm not goods.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: Just wait to go into detail on that. Like because
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: of the amount of how you have to pick up
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: choreography so quickly, Is that was that? Why?
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah? I think it's just like a lot of it,
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: Like you're learning, Like I was a dancer, Like I danced,
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: but like the ballroom dance is so technical and so
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: different than a five six seven eight in a music video.
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: So I think that's where I got a little bit cocky.
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: And then once I like landed, I was like, oh shit,
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: this is harder than I thought it was gonna be.
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: That's one thing. Reality TV is so produced, and even
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: no matter how good you do or how bad you
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: do or whatever, there's so many different elements that go
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: into like the scoring or the feedback that they give you.
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: And for me, it was hard to separate like my
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: own validation or my own worth from the idea and
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: the fact that there it was a produced television show,
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: like you know, like it's hard to not take what
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: they're saying or the scores, so like personally, yeah, and
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: that was hard for me, like emotionally. And then like
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: from fucking like Labor Day to Thanksgiving, I had zero
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: days off. And that's not just like me like hyping
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: up like work culture or like you know, because you
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: also had to keep doing peloton. Yeah. So but even
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: I feel like even if I wasn't doing peloton, there
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: wouldn't have been days off because you're rehearsing every day
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: physically like non stop. So it just was it just
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: was lot to take on. And yeah, and just like
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: I don't know, people are nasty and rude and oh yeah,
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: you see, like, no matter how hard.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: I tried, did you go down the rabbit hole of
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: reading your haters and ship?
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: I mean, like as much as I try not to,
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: it's like, you know, i'd go on Twitter and look
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: at look at stuff, and you'd see the nasty things
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: that people would say or dog on you, and I
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: don't know I should as much as I try not
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: to do that, Like I'm only human and I'm curious,
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: and unfortunately I got caught in those crossfires before.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: So that's the fucked up thing. They know you look,
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: you look, That's why they write that ship exactly ship,
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: so fuck you.
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah. But on the other hand, it was like super challenging.
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: I grew so much. I you know, it forded me
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: a lot of opportunities during and after, and it's like
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: such a such a special part of like my story.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: So I'm glad that I did it, but it was
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: also like one of the most challenging and difficult things
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: that I ever did.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's funny. I was thinking about you and Amanda
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: because you know, sometimes they give people who are quote
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: unquote dancers shit for going on the show because you're
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: like you're how is this how is this a challenge?
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: And Amanda, who was a roquette, which is closer to
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: ballroom dancing than you, who were you know, whatever kind
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: of dancer you call it, music video hip hop, I'm
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: not sure what you'd say it is. But she was like,
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: this is really really fucking hard. She's like, I was
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: a roquette, but this is not I was not a
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: ballroom dancer. And she really found it very very hard.
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: And she and like, listen, she had like I mean,
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: she had great scores, and she was much more technical
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: than I am. And yeah, I mean there was a
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: point where we were bush exhausted and it was just
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: so much.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: And the whole world is weighing in on you. I
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: mean everyone who watches it. I mean, that'd be so hard,
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: because it's one thing to just get trolled or shot
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: on just for being alive and being a public figure.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: But you're going on a show that's a competition where
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: you are judged, so you're saying, like, judge me, motherfuckers,
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: and people are very happy, to.
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: Happy, very happy.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: Let's take a break.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: We'll be right back after these fine words. Another thing
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you was what's it like in
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: the culture of Pelton, because I imagine you're the one
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: of the most I know that you're one of the
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: most famous people that are doing it. Is there is
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: it ever uncomfortable with your peers because you've kind of
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: broken out as as the face or one of the
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: stars of the company.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was gonna I was gonna just to piggyback
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: on that you are one of the faces. There are
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: several faces of Peloton, but you are. And then there's
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: people that you know, do y'all ever run into each
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: other because it doesn't seem like you're in the same studio.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: Some people are in different areas.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: No, they're all in New York.
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: I think, well, well that's sort of true. Okay, So
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: just I'll go the first question. So there's a New
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: York studio and that's probably where like, let's say thirty
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: five to four of the instructors are I don't know
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: their math is. And then there's a UK studio which
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: has our English team and the German team, so that's
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: probably another ten to fifteen people. So that's a total
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: I think of fifty or so instructors at this point.
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: So the vast majorities in New York City. In New
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: York City, there's four studios, So you've got the yoga studio,
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: the Strength Studio, the tread Studio, and the cycling Studio.
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: We all we depending on your schedule, Like I see
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: about the same on a regular basis, Let's say ten instructors.
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: I guess like I see the same ten instructors, and
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: then you know, there's like events that we have that
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: we all kind of like cross paths and see each other.
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: And then we just had probably at the beginning of summer,
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: our instructor Summit where like all of the instructors from
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: all across the globe came together and we had a
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: very lovely, like two or three intense but fun days.
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: And as far as my colleagues and like compare each
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: other's success or whatever, I think that's kind of what
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: we're getting out a little bit. Fortunately, everyone has been
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: cast to kind of like be in their own lane
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: and also share their story and appeal to different groups
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: of people. So you know, I try to think in
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: this like abundance mindset that there are enough seats at
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: the table and there's enough opportunities within Peloton and outside
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: of Peloton for all of us to like thrive and
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: have our thing going, because, like I said at the beginning,
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: when I was trying to copy Robin ars on and
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: like be her, I'm not an ultra marathon on her.
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: I'm not a vegan, I'm not a mom. I'm not
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: like all these things that she is that she can
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: speak to on the peloton platform and off and get
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: all these opportunities. So I think that's the beauty of it, is,
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: like there are enough seats at the table and there's
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: a lot to do, and it's I don't think it's
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: ever I don't think it's ever like awkward or there's
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: any sort of like weird jealousy. I think that we're
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: all kind of rooting for each other the best set
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: we can. And I think it would be silly to
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: think that some of the opportunities that other people have
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: I should have because I'm gonna get what comes what
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: comes to me. I guess I.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: Know, but that I even said, Cody, I've been watching
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: a lot of Below Deck med and I just want
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: to know. I just want to know if there's ever
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: any friction or if you all get hammered and like
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: people say shit, like I picture the no, I picture
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: the Peloton locker room like below deck med and I
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: need to know if that's true.
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: No, you know what, the only thing like, I A,
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: we're not a drink We're not a lot of drinkers.
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: I know. It's so annoying, like we don't drink a lot,
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: so nobody's getting wasted and doing stupid shit. And in honesty,
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: like the heat. The most heated drama I think is
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: like the green room. And I will, like I get
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: very upset with some of the girls because they go
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: into these green rooms and they leave like there make up,
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: their hair, they're clothes all in there, and they forget
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: that like, hey, I need to go in there too.
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: So it's like literally like it's like literal brothers and
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: sisters fighting over who gets to use the bathroom that
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: is the tea. I'm sorry, I know you want more.
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: I know you wanted more.
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: I know you want me like spilling drinks, like throwing
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: a drink on tune day and me slapping Alex to
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: song and me calling, you know, Kendall a bitch to
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: her face like it's just not happening.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: And then Captain Sandy comes in and it's.
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: Like and then and then they're like, hey, hey, hey, hey,
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: we didn't get that on camera. Can we do it
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: all again? And do that all again?
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: Please?
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: So unfortunately I don't have any hot tea for you.
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: Hey, is that your real wallpaper behind you? Or are
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: you in a hotel right now?
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: It is my This is the is the guest room.
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: I'm actually I have a friend staying with me from
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: Brazil and he's this is an air mattress that I'm
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: sitting on and this is the guest room. Yeah.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: I like your wallpaper. It's very It's Gucci.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: Is it occy wallpaper? Treating you well?
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: Actually you know what? I got it for free because
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: someone had it left over.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: So I was like, you found some Gucci wallpaper.
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: I was listening to you the other day and you
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: were and you were doing you were you were spinning
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: to that song to the left, to the left, and
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: then and you and you said something that made me
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: laugh so hard. You go, uh, she goes, I could
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: have another you in a minute. But what's the lyric?
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: I forgot? Matter of fact, he'll be here, That was
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: the lyric.
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: He'll be here in a minute.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: You go, I can't have a man here in a minute.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: It's called Grinder, and then you go, I was laughing
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: so hard, you go, I might have to lower my standards,
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: but he'd be here in a minute, exactly.
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: Listen, all of us have have phones, access to quick
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: and easy hookups if we want it. But I don't
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: know if you've ever been on some of these apps.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: But men more than other dude, I mean sorry, gay
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: men more than more than straight men, because.
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: We're wrees, we're sluts, we're okay.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: Donald and I are not Donald and I are not
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: on Grinder yet. But it seems to me like you're
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: not really exaggerating, like a man could be there in
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: like three minutes.
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: Literally. It might. It might be a certain caliber of
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: a certain man. But you know, like if I'm trying
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: to get my dick wet and I don't have high
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: standards and we can make it happen pretty.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: Quickly a gay man, we might have to cut this,
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: Joelle Jewel, Okay, Joell, you'll tell me if we need
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: to cut this.
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: Because they because you'll get canceled or I will No.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: You're not going to cancel it. Just this might be
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: too risque even for our show. But a gay friend
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: of mine told me that that certain gay men will
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: post on grinder. I will be receiving loads between these hours.
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that's so, that's what we call them the
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: community a pump and dump?
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: Really, what's a pump and dump?
• 28:10
  Speaker 6: So?
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: Uh, this show just got good good.
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: We just turned.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: My god, what's a pumping? Because Donald and I are unfamiliar.
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: I have never partaken in this. No judgment, no judgment,
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: no judge. I don't try to judge anybody's sexual desires
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: nor what they're We've learned.
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: We've learned a lot from Joel. She's told us this
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: is all life is life.
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: Joel's going to pumping ups.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: Okay, so no, Joel doesn't pumping up. I don't think
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: you're pumping dump. No judgment.
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: If you do no judgments over here, will you explain.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: To our audience that is not familiar? What is?
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: This is so nasty just saying it like it's also
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: like when you describe these sort of things, this is
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: this is that's why they're trying to take away our rights.
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: This is why we couldn't get married for so damn
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: long because we're out here.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: Actually, so's say a.
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: Particular person wants to be the receipt. I'm try put
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: these in straight terms. Wants to be the receiver. So
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: the bottom and they will maybe in fact, they will
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: rent a hotel room or they will be giving strangers
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: on the internet their address. So then said strangers will
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: show up to said hotel room or home and just
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: the bottom will be there ready to receive any trade
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: of sex. And as you said before loads, So therefore
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: that is the pump and dump. So from like one
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: to three, I'm going to be at this hotel and
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: you come in, you drop your drawers, you have sex
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: with me, and you leave.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: But wait, the same friend told me that sometimes the
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: man the recipient, you know, like the hash deck. I
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: have to teach this to all, but that they will
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: post market. Let me let me tell you, no, no, no,
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: let me tell them, and then you tell me if
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: I'm wrong, Donald, I don't know if I told you this ship.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: My friend told me that they on the one guy
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: had on his butt cheek the like you know, the
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: four and then you do the hash across. He had
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: with the loads. He had asked the men to create
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: lines and then a hash through for the through the
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: fifth load.
• 30:23
  Speaker 6: I'm horrified, who are you talking to.
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: That you were talking about. Listen, you're not You're not wrong.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: My friend wasn't participating. He was telling me as a
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: straight man. You probably don't know this is a thing
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: on Grinder, But this is a thing on Grinder.
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: It is it is?
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: Are there things like this on other dating sites?
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: Is this is Donald wants to know if this is
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: available on Tinder?
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: I'm man, so I don't get to You're just doing research.
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: I would like to do some research. Is this like everywhere?
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: Is this? How is this? How is this what dating
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: sites are? Now?
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: I think this is I think this is a particularly
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: this is not as much of a hetero thing as far.
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: It's just that the gays are like really unhinged and
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: just like we are out here in these streets doing
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: whatever we want. So you know, there's a little bit more.
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: I don't even want to call it promiscuity because that's
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: not what it is. It's just you know, sexual liberation
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: and freedom. So like, you know, that's what some people
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: are into, and more power to them as long as
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: it's consensual. Adults, like you know, live your life. That's
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: in a mind damn business. But yeah, all of all
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: of what you're saying is true. And I would say,
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: if you live in a major metropolitan city, I don't
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: I don't think it would be hard for you to
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: find said activity.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: Donald, Do you ever want to say announce that you're
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: open to receive loads.
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, first of all, I don't mind saying I'm
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: open to receive loads my wife. My wife will be like, yo, dude,
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: all these people at the house right, what the fuck
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: is called.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: The doorbell rings? In case, he's like, babe, is it
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: the door? Oh that's my first load. I'ney just send
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: them upstairs, send them to the closet.
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: Oh lord, let's tack a break.

• 32:47
  Speaker 3: height of my like adolescence. And if I would say

  Speaker 3: the height of like pop culture, like, you can't you
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: can't get better than that? Like the early two thousands
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: of pop culture. T R like, yeah, I just have
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: so many memories and you know music.
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: I remember watching Brittany and being like, damn, she's so young.

  Speaker 3: paid for the Beyonce tickets and the second show I
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: paid I paid. I paid stub Hub money for floor.
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: Seats, and that's like, you know, what did you pay?
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: I stand by this statement. I still didn't even pay enough.
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: I still didn't pay enough.
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: You know, essent, we like this when we were kids.
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: I saw Michael Jackson when I was a kid, I
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: saw new Addition Bell, Bib Devaux, I saw all of
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: these freaking I went to a lot of big concerts
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: when I was a kid, and I sat really close
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: in these stadiums and was able to see everything. I
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: was never on the floor. But you know, I can't
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: imagine spending ten grand, fifteen grand on tickets. Okay, thank god?
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: All right? Cool.
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: Oh when you said floor seed stub Hub money, I
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: thought you were talking about ten thousand dollars.
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: I mean, listen, they were they were floor seats. They
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: weren't the closest floor seats. I was probably at at
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: my closest proximity to Beyonce, maybe twenty feet. So that's good,
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: that's amazing twenty feet. But yeah, I'm not spending There's
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: no there's there's there's there is a limit there's a limit.
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: And that's actually in all honestly why I went in
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: Europe for the first time because the seats in Paris
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: were like a few hundred bucks and they were on
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: the floor at General Like by the time you pay
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: for the flight and the ticket, you could get that
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: in the US. So you get a trip to Paris
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: and a Beyonce concert.
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: Let's take a break.
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: We'll be right back after these fine words. Listen, before

• 40:51
  Speaker 1: Tell us a little bit about it. Shamelessly plug yourself,
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: but tell us a little bit about what the gist
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: of the vibe is.
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think, well, I'm excited that it comes out
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: comes out September twelfth, so pre order if you can.
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: It is a memoir slash kind of like life and
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: dating advice. If you are familiar with my class at Pelton,
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: we do x X Cody, which is like a fun
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: class where writers send in questions to me about self love,
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: relationships and we talk about pop culture and that. So
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: I kind of took that idea from the ride and
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: made it into a book. And it's like mostly just
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: about like, you know, self love, even in the in
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: the realm of dating, like loving yourself before you put
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: yourself out there, you know, like asking for more money,
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: loving yourself, dating yourself. You know, just like what it
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: means to just really like take all the things that
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: I've learned in life and apply it to being the
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: best version of yourself.
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: And you really did You've come such a long way.
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, you did work at McDonald's, didn't you not?
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, and that's that's part of the storytelling
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: there is like I feel like I've told these like
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: really condensed versions of some of the really impactful things
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: in my life. So it's been a privilege to kind
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: of like give it in more detail. Yeah, it's it's
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: crazy like I grew up. Listen, I grew up single parent,
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: only child, broke as fuck in in North Carolina, like
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: food stamp poor, getting evicted, poor, like all this sort
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: of stuff. So I sometimes look back in my life
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: and I'm just like, how how the fuck did I?
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: How did I get here? How did I get here?
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: In front of the Gucci.
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: Wallpaper, the book title could have been from McDonald's to
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: Gucci Wallpaper, no doubt, we go, Why is the shake
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: machine always broken?
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: What's going on?
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: What's going on?
• 42:43
  Speaker 3: Let's get to the real honesty. I think it's because,
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: you know, if you're a McDonald's employee and it's the
• 42:50
  Speaker 3: end of the night, like I'm trying to clean that
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: fucking machine before I get off my ship, and if
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to get out early, you know, if broken's
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: it at ten and we don't shut down the ice
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: cream machine until nine forty five, I'm not trying to
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: stick around from fifteen to twenty extra minutes because this
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: bitch wants an oreo mcflir say that the fucking machine
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: is broken, and guess what, I'm good, I'm gonna pull
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: up to the drive through them, say one Orio mcflurry
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: and the person that went knows to be like, I'm sorry, sir,
• 43:24
  Speaker 3: the machine is broken, and I'm gonna get pissed off
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: and I'm gonna drive off. I'm good. So the employee
• 43:28
  Speaker 3: is winning, you know, right right?
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: I heard that there's quite a few McDonald's workers right
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: now that are like, thank you, Cody.
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: So what Cody's just told us everyone is that the
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: machine is never actually broken.
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: It's just that.
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: Look, they don't want to deal with that shit.
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: Motherfucker's got lives, yo.
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: They want to get home.
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: I don't know if you've ever worked a shift job
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: such as McDonald's. You want to get out as soon
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: as you fucking can. You want to cuck out.
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: You don't want your you.
• 43:57
  Speaker 3: Don't want your manager asking, hey, you know Tom's a
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: little bit late, can you stay thirty bits? No, bitch,
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: that's not my problem, that's not my probe. You're you're
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: paying me eight fifty an hour. I don't care about Tom.
• 44:09
  Speaker 3: I want to go home and play Xbox. Okay, thank you?
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: What that knows?
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: Well, you're very very funny man, and we're very last
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: thing I want to ask you for our audience. So
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: many of our audience don't have a Peloton, Can you
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: just maybe give some a little bit of wisdom as
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: to motivating yourself to to actually exercise. Exercise for me
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: has been life changing for more than even more my
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: physical health and for my mental health. It really has
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: become a part of keeping myself feeling better about myself.
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: And I wondered if, as a as a famous trainer,
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: if you have any words of wisdom for motivating people
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: to take action and do a little something.
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I think that's well. First of all, I'm going
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: to debunk that the Peloton app is free for like
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: the first month, and there's a free version of the app,
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: so you can jump into that. That being said, as
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: far as motivation, and yeah, I think that a relationship
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: with your body and movement is really good for your
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: overall being, not just looking a certain way, but like
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: your mental health and believing that you can do hard things.
• 45:19
  Speaker 3: I know it sounds really silly, but when you like
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: conquer a twenty minute bike ride and you're like, Wow,
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: I didn't want to do that, but I did it
• 45:26
  Speaker 3: and I feel great, it is a reminder that, like
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: when you get set a challenge at work or or
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: pushback in life that you're like, Hey, I things might
• 45:36
  Speaker 3: be scary or they might be hard, but if I
• 45:38
  Speaker 3: put my mind to it, I absolutely can accomplish it.
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: And I think it's a constant reminder of that. And
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: also I think being uncomfortable and being put in uncomfortable
• 45:50
  Speaker 3: situations is good for us, you know, I think when
• 45:53
  Speaker 3: we run away from feeling. I think when we feel uncomfortable,
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: or we feel sad, or we feel angry, or we
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: feel you know, unmotivated, we can really sit in that.
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: We can either sit in that and figure it out,
• 46:08
  Speaker 3: or we can go distract ourselves and get away from
• 46:10
  Speaker 3: it quickly. And I think sitting in those uncomfortable situations
• 46:13
  Speaker 3: is really good for us physically, mentally, emotionally, and moving
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: our bodies and working out is a practice of that
• 46:22
  Speaker 3: in itself.
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: I feel that. Man. Sometimes I'm just down, I'm not
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: in a good headspace, and I spend for thirty minutes
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: and I get off the bike and I feel great.
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and then you like and then you're like, you've
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: been motivated to do other shit that you didn't want
• 46:37
  Speaker 3: to do.
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely, Well, thank you so much for your time, dude.
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: We really are big fans of yours and you make
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: us laugh and keep doing what you do because you're
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: making a big difference in a lot of people's lives.

• 46:52
  Speaker 3: me on.
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: Thank you for being on.

  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was so awesome.
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: Wait can we just before we wrap up? Do one
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: of my fucking heroes passed away? And I just wanted
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: to give a shout out to like, yo man and
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: I and and and it's gonna make and I don't
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: want to get emotional about it, and because that's the
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: last thing I want to do in front of you guys,
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: but if you could just I mean, I just remember
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: junior high school, my buddy Adam Smart, shout out Adam
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: Smart and uh Libra whose dad was on Pee Wee's playhouse,
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: telling me, Yo, you gotta watch this guy and me
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: being like yeah, whatever, and Adam Smart for for one
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: of the talent shows him and this guy did the
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: entire scene of Pee Wee coming out of his house
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: with the bike and the guy wanting to ride on
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: the bike and him saying him saying uh no, and
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: then I know you are but what am I? And
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: everything from Big Adventure from Pee Wee's Big Adventure, and
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: I you know, that stuck with me and my freshman
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: year in high school, I finally watched the movie and
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: I couldn't believe it took me so long to find
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: this guy because it was me in a lot of ways.
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: It was like this guy who was just a little
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: bit immature but was witty and smart, had and had
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: a great sense of humor. And you know when they
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: say be careful when you meet your idols, when I
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: met him, he was. He was very mean to me,
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: and he went out of his way the next time
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: I met him and every time after to apologize and
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: tell me that he was in a He was a
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: he was in a bad space that day. And I
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: got to work with him like two or three times
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: after that. Just meeting him and that we met you
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: were with me. It was me you and Sarah and
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: I think we were on our way to New York.
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: And emotional, man.
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: Was Paul Rubers. Man, you made a really big impact
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: on my life.
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: You really getting emotional.
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and you are a legend and you will be missed.
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: Oh Donald, that's very sweet. I loved him too.
• 49:14
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: I grew up watching Pee Wee's Playhouse, and then when
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: I saw the movie, I just thought he was so
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: uniquely funny and original and there was nobody like him,
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: like nobody was doing what he was doing. And then
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: that combined with Tim Burton's direction, you know, pee Wee's
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: Big Adventure was just like we had never seen anything
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: like it. It was just so different. It was so different,
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: the combo of Tim Burton's style with pee Wee's humor.
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: And Paul was a wonderful person by the way. I
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: met him a few times, like Donald, and every day
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: on my birthday he would send me like funny gifts,
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: birthday gifts, little memes and stuff, and they were all
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: just sweet sort of they weren't. They were just like
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: sweet little birthday messages. And that's the kind of he was.
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: He was. Everybody loved him. Everybody in town that knew
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: him loved him.
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I just couldn't put You know, usually
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: when somebody, when somebody brushes you off, that's usually it
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: and you never really hear from them, you never really hear.
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: But he went, I mean just to I don't know, man,
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: Like he remembered me, he remembered where we were when
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: it happened. He remembered what he was going through and
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: he apologized. It just made me feel so good, you
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: know what I mean.
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: I remember saving up for cherry. Remember they I had
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: a peep First of all, I had the pewee doll
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: that you pulled the string and it would says yeah.
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: And then after a while I used it someone the
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: soundbox broke so it would be really sped up and
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: you couldn't understand shit. But then I had the cherry
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: for those you know the show was his talking green chair,
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: and I remember saving up as a kid to go
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: to the Livingstone Mall to buy cherry so I could
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: put my peewee doll in the cherry chair. Anyway, So

  Speaker 1: Cody for providing lots of laughter. And that's it. This
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: segment on Fake Doctor's Real Friends is brought to you
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: by T Mobile. If you need great coverage, especially when
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: enjoying your favorite podcast, check out T Mobile. Okay, and
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: now we Joelle has a pitch from one of our
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: listeners for a film that we should make. Okay, let's
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: go Joel.
• 51:33
  Speaker 7: Hello, Donald and Zach, Joel and Danel.
• 51:36
  Speaker 3: My name is Will.
• 51:37
  Speaker 7: I live in London in the UK, though I'm originally
• 51:39
  Speaker 7: from Edinburgh in Scotland, and today I am pitching a
• 51:42
  Speaker 7: comedy series with you, Donald and Zack playing fictionalized versions
• 51:46
  Speaker 7: of yourselves as you finally take fake doctors, real friends
• 51:49
  Speaker 7: on the road and tour the podcast series around Europe.
• 51:52
  Speaker 7: It would be totally similar to Curby Your Enthusiasm or
• 51:55
  Speaker 7: The Trip if you're familiar with that British comedy starring
• 51:58
  Speaker 7: Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon. Of course, you find success
• 52:02
  Speaker 7: with the podcast tour. It's everything you guys dreamed it
• 52:04
  Speaker 7: would be, but touring and selling out spectacular venues such
• 52:08
  Speaker 7: as the O two Arena in London, the Coliseum in
• 52:11
  Speaker 7: Rome and a Wee Boffy in the Highlands. Well, it
• 52:14
  Speaker 7: takes its toll on your multi layered, loving, sometimes flowed
• 52:18
  Speaker 7: relationship in the series and of your bromance Never Questioned
• 52:23
  Speaker 7: develops as well as during the podcast. You both have
• 52:29
  Speaker 7: your own side hustles going on. Donald played by Donald Faison,
• 52:32
  Speaker 7: is desperate to get onto one of the Star Wars
• 52:34
  Speaker 7: or Marvel series that's filmed here in the UK. In
• 52:37
  Speaker 7: one scene, Donald literally begs on his knees for a
• 52:40
  Speaker 7: role outside the gates of Pinewood Studios, while Zach, played
• 52:43
  Speaker 7: by Zach Brath, lands himself his dream role and does
• 52:46
  Speaker 7: a one of performance playing Jean Valjean in the West
• 52:49
  Speaker 7: End production of Lay Miss.
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: I don't think I'd get it.
• 52:52
  Speaker 7: However, on the night, Zach gets so excited and he's
• 52:55
  Speaker 7: so overcome with emotion that he starts singing everyone else's
• 52:58
  Speaker 7: parts over them. So as the tour comes to an end,
• 53:01
  Speaker 7: our heroes ask themselves whether it was really at success.
• 53:05
  Speaker 7: They both lost out on their dream roles and more importantly,
• 53:09
  Speaker 7: their most valued relationship with each other along the way
• 53:13
  Speaker 7: to be continued. I actually sent this pitch to you
• 53:17
  Speaker 7: guys way back in summer twenty twenty when I first
• 53:19
  Speaker 7: emailed over some questions, so it's been flowing around my
• 53:22
  Speaker 7: head for a few years now. I just want to
• 53:25
  Speaker 7: add that I work as a script editor in TV
• 53:27
  Speaker 7: drama Developments, So if you want, I could come on
• 53:30
  Speaker 7: board to storyboard and script episodes for free. I might
• 53:35
  Speaker 7: be available.
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: Let's slow down.
• 53:37
  Speaker 7: I hope you enjoy the pitch. Lastly, I just want
• 53:40
  Speaker 7: to add that I love this podcast. And I love
• 53:42
  Speaker 7: getting to hang out with the four of you every week.
• 53:44
  Speaker 7: Take care and speak saying Wye.
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: First of all, that would never happen, William our bond
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: is too tight.
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Cody thought we were gay.
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: It's not gonna happen, William.
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: Well, I believe that Donald would be on his knees
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: outside Pinewood Studient begging to get in.
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: I've worked at Pinewood Studios. I would not be on
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: my knees outside of Pinewood Studio.
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: What if George Lucas, much like the Emperor, was like,
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: get on your knees, Donald, face on, that was Vader.
• 54:12
  Speaker 3: Sorry, definitely get on your.
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: Knees, Donald, that's definitely Vader, and show.
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: Me that you're worthy of a part in my creation.
• 54:22
  Speaker 2: Are you saying I have to perform for Latio George
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: Lucas to get into Star Wars.
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: I didn't mean that you made that ship up. I
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: just meant he was making it on your knees to
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: be like to bow down.
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: To him, bow down to George. I have no problem
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: bowing down to George Lucas.
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: Okay, So if George was like, you can have a pastry,
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: you can be one of Lando's friends in the new series.
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: Then we'd have to contact Donald Glover and I'd have
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: to convince Donald Glover that too.
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: So I heard they're making that and that they just
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: they fired the writer or something, and their there that
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: he and his brother are writing the new Lando series.
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: All I know is I didn't get a telephone call,
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: so yes, yes, yet And everybody knows who my favorite
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: star wars.
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: Camp But you could be Lando's older brother, bando.
• 55:07
  Speaker 3: What do you play Lando's dad?
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: WHOA, he's not older than He's not Donald Glover's dad.
• 55:14
  Speaker 3: Prosthetics instead old man.
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: I'm still holding out for Ahska. How about that?
• 55:19

• 55:41
  Speaker 1: You know, Donald and I are talking about maybe documenting
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: our tour as some sort of docuseries perhaps, but I
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: don't think that we'll go the full curb your enthusiasm
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: fake version of our of our real lives. I don't
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: think that's our our style.
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: I love the fact that we're selling out like the Colosseum.
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: And yeah, imagine that we sell out the Colosseum. That'd
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: be an O two arena.
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, we sell the Colosseum, We're like legendary. That's
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: straight up. I mean, we might as well call ourselves gladiators.
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: I didn't like when Cody was I didn't like when
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: Cody was being about to be negative about our date
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: for Thursday night.
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: Listen, Bud.
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: He doesn't understand that. He doesn't understand our love of
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: Tea Swift.
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: He doesn't know the love that we have for Tea
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: Swift because it's a hard thing to understand, you know
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: what I mean, it's hard to understand.

  Speaker 1: Do you think we're going to be the only straight
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: men there that came.
• 56:43
  Speaker 2: I think we're going to be the only men over
• 56:47
  Speaker 2: twenty five at this concert.
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: To be that's not true. My question is this, Are
• 56:51
