Send feedback for the show Welcome 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 Reflections 07:25 "Wrestling with Authenticity and Persona" 14:56 Marine Biologist"s Thrilling Passion 19:54 AI Creations Need Watermarks 22:22 Social Media Overload Impact 27:13 Fragmented Follower Engagement Issues 32:08 "Lion or Sheep Dilemma" 38:24 "Seeking Connection and Attention" 45:16 Gym"s Next Chapter: Jiu Jitsu? 47:44 Training Girls in Self-Defense 57:24 Finding Personal Happiness in Fitness 01:02:37 Life Choices and Expansion Dilemma 01:03:27 Expanding for Business Growth 01:12:40 Transformative Late-Night Workouts 01:16:10 Designing an Innovative Gym Space 01:19:31 "Consult God Before Church Visit" Support the show YouTube Instagram Tik Tok We’d love to hear your thoughts on this episode!
