[@Frederick0220]

So Michael was reading Josh's stuff on Twitter, then randomly ran into him on a Fri night?!

[@mikerusso7095]

Inspiring to hear how you two made it and connected. This podcast is a weekly treat. You are awesome at creating fresh content. One of the few times Josh was wrong? 😂

[@lurkingcaro]

Enjoy the sun out there

3 words: "push up contest" ....this year they need a friendly competition (same rocky theme). Ben is pierced by agave so no running.....But his upper body will work....Duncan set it up in hotel weight room or by the pool! Animal Spirits fans can do side bets, plus over under... The prospect of an annual fitness test will keep these two fit all year... Last year was speed. This year strength....Next year... who knows.. maybe skill (jet ski races, billiards)...Right now Batnick is favored on Vegas line with Ben still numb. By tomorrow, odds shift to the Grand Rapids prep football star...

[@ivanbrosky]

They put you right where the sun is in your face 😂

[@Frederick0220]

What was Ben reading for 3 hours/night? Were these finance textbooks? EDIT: Oh, wait. Ben mentions reading a book from Buffett

[@MikeyDVC]

Awe 😍 You love to see it.

[@TheCompoundNews]

Thanks for watching!

[@Bomberboybrad]

No offense but Michael’s story about a chance meeting with Josh was probably in actual fact a carefully planned episode of stalking. I think my theory might be true, not to brag. If you read this Michael, the world doesn’t care and we’re all better off for the stalking to have happened.
