Down the rabbit hole/ Sofia Zudova and Jacob Marquardt

Published: March 22, 2020, 6:27 p.m.

Sofia and Jacob join me for a chat about the COVID-19 crisis, and how we will train, wipe our asses and survive without sweet potato. Seriously though there is some actual information here if you sift through the poo jokes and irrelevant banter. Personally I feel we could all use a bit of a laugh so here's 50 minutes worth of us sitting close together before that was against the law.  00:00 Introducing Sof (again) and Jacob as the epic weightlifters and humans they are, and how we are all coping with the lack of sweet potatoes and toilet paper in the current COVID-19 crisis. 03:00 Intense debate about potatoes which lasts longer than it should TBH. No conclusion is reached. 05:30 Some actual statistics about the virus and what we should all probably know about how it is contracted and spread. 09:30 The economic domino effect on our population and the few among us acting like complete fuckheads. 15:00 Weightlifting and how this crisis will effect our sport. 20:00 How to keep your training space safe and sanitised, how to reduce the risk to gym members and what the rapidly changing policies mean for your training. 30:00 Why weightlifters will be the first to go and how challenging it is to bulk when the supermarket shelves are empty. Please send Jacob food. 35:00 Jacob's goals: Commonwealth Games, getting massive, and finally seeing Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. 40:00 Body parts we value most in a person (unrelatedly). 45:00 Back to COVID-19 which regresses into some ridiculousness so we wisely end the episode wishing all our listeners health and wellbeing in this trying time.
