And we are live. Good morning, everyone. Before we get rolling, I'll just ask once if you guys could let us know in the comments, if you can see us and hear us okay, so we don't talk to people and have it be completely pointless. I see we already have a comment in there, so it looks like the link is working okay.

Just make sure, and I'll wait just a second, because I know it lags a little bit from when everyone puts in their comment, and then we will rock and roll.

All right, looks like we got some confirmation. We are good. All right. Well, good Saturday morning. It is amazing and awesome to be with you guys. First Saturday of October, fall is here. Maybe or maybe not, depending on where you live. I think both of our favorite seasons are fall.

Taylor (1:42)

Yeah.

SPEAKER_2 (1:43)

I like spring, too.

Hunter Williams (1:44)

Spring is good.

Taylor (1:45)

I like spring.

Hunter Williams (1:45)

Yeah.

It's a little hot here where we live, but hopefully the next week or two, it cools off a little bit. But anyway, it's been a while. I think it's actually been three or four weeks since we did the last one, maybe three weeks since we did the last Coffee Talk. And so we are back in the saddle, had a little bit of travel. We were actually in Las Vegas last weekend for the Mr. Olympia show, have a lot of friends and different people in the industry we know out there. So we usually make it out there to attend that. It was really fun. It was a lot of cool people, cool things going on. So that was enjoyable. But now we are back home and back in the saddle for a Coffee Talk. But anyway, initial thoughts this morning. One, every time we get to do these, it is just such a blessing because, you know, I just think regularly because of the nature of the industry that we're in about censorship and getting kicked off of platforms. So it's just a blessing every time we get to do these and go on and be exposed to you guys. So thank you for joining and we'll launch into it. I think just top of mind this morning, we were kind of, you were always like, yeah, what do we have so much to talk about? What are we going to talk about? I think one, being at the Olympia last weekend is just crazy how big peptides have gotten.

Taylor (2:58)

Yeah, we're talking about how the first year, we've been going for the last three years now.

Hunter Williams (3:04)

Yeah.

Taylor (3:04)

And I don't know, this show is definitely my favorite because I think it was because we got to connect to a lot of people, whether they're in our group or people that we're really good friends with. In the peptide industry, it was probably one of my favorite trips, work trips, as far as experiencing, interacting with other people in the industry, just because we got to see some of our friends in the industry. And the first year that we went to Olympia, no one there knew what peptides were. That was three years ago.

SPEAKER_1 (3:38)

They didn't really know what they were.

Taylor (3:40)

It wasn't like a big thing. They were like, oh, you inject these? There was one booth there that we were affiliated with at the time, and people were coming up so confused, like, okay, like, no idea.

Hunter Williams (3:57)

This is 2024 as well, so it's not too long ago.

Taylor (4:00)

And then walking around the Olympia this time, I mean, you'd see peptide companies that owners had their faces advertised on, and then you would see people like walking around with QR codes saying scan here for certain peptides. Yeah, get ready to scan here for peptides. And there were like literally booths that were just like, had just like stacks of peptides that they had on their table out selling. So it's definitely interesting to see that. Like, it makes me happy to see that more people are aware of it, especially in the bodybuilder community, because they definitely need it. But it's just crazy to see just how far it's come.
