  Send feedback for the showWelcome back to Rizzology! In this episode, Nick and Tom DeGiuli are hanging out in the studio. We kick things off talking about live podcasting, crazy travel schedules, and how Hyrox is blowing up as the new CrossFit.From there, it’s a wild ride: they swap stories about fitness cults, the Liver King scandal, influencer marketing gone rogue, and just how weird social media can get—yes, including selling bathwater and OnlyFans drama. There’s plenty of joking around, some surprisingly deep talk about chasing trends, being real with yourself, and what it means to actually be happy with your body and your life, even as the internet keeps changing the game.00:00 Live Streaming & Travel Reflections07:25 "Wrestling with Authenticity and Persona"14:56 Marine Biologist's Thrilling Passion19:54 AI Creations Need Watermarks22:22 Social Media Overload Impact27:13 Fragmented Follower Engagement Issues32:08 "Lion or Sheep Dilemma"38:24 "Seeking Connection and Attention"45:16 Gym's Next Chapter: Jiu Jitsu?47:44 Training Girls in Self-Defense57:24 Finding Personal Happiness in Fitness01:02:37 Life Choices and Expansion Dilemma01:03:27 Expanding for Business Growth01:12:40 Transformative Late-Night Workouts01:16:10 Designing an Innovative Gym Space01:19:31 "Consult God Before Church Visit"Support the showYouTubeInstagram Tik Tok We’d love to hear your thoughts on this episode!
