Kian — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 09:00:23 +0000

So we have to admit, we’re still on a roll from Monday’s cast. This is such a massive deal to us that it will probably be a reoccurring theme in the podcast for a while. Remember, this isn’t about saying “oh jolly good, some Brittish bloke is taking care of things for us” it’s about realizing that you and I need to start acting to make changes in our country. Oh and then we talk about how bomb spinach is for you.

Ep 121: The Food Revolution

Kian — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 19:23:12 +0000

This could be the most important podcast the we have ever done. Seriously. Jamie Oliver has started a new show called “Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution,” and it is amazing. If you haven’t seen the show we highly recommend that you do after listening to this podcast. It’s time that we get off of our butts and do something about the POISON they are feeding our children. Oh and there just may be an F bomb or two today, you’ve been warned.

It's close to Thanksgiving (please don't call it Turkey day, that just makes me sad), and we thought we'd give you a quick reminder of the playbook ideas in this podcast. Unfortunately Tyler had to be away so you get to hear Kian's voice ring like a beautiful bell. Enjoy

Eat Breakfast!
Workout
Eat a good snack
Depending on the time of your Thanksgiving eat either the meal, if it's at lunch, a snack, if it's in the afternoon, or lunch and a snack, if it's at diner.

Tyler and I are going to take a break Thursday and Friday to recharge, but we will be coming back at you HARD on Monday. Enjoy your week!
