## Transcript

Kyle Glass: All right, Christian Blumenfeld just ran 7 hours 21 minutes and 24 seconds at Ironman Texas. 12 seconds off the fastest Ironman in history. And he didn't do it with... an assisted swim this time. This is the ProTry News. Welcome back to another episode. You're joined by Kyle, Mark, more importantly, a very, very special guest, Stanford. How are you, Nan? I'm really good, thank you. Thanks for having me along for the episode. I'm really excited to be here. We mainly brought you along because...

Does my appearance on PTN make me a pro podcaster now? so, then yes. It makes you better than, it makes you a better podcaster than your other half and his Mickey Mouse show. That's good. I'll take it. Thank you. Yeah, I'll take it. Do we, do we have to call you non Stanford MBE or can we just call you non? I mean, it's preferable. As long as you bow and curtsy at the same time. Yeah. That's good. And Kyle, you made it back home safely from Texas. I did. The drive back home wasn't as bad as the drive down. The drive down,
