A guy named Paul [00:00:04] Zac Hall: I'm I'm getting by I want to talk first about a person named Paul, who? Yeah. Hey Paul. You know, we, we talked the, in the episode previously about the star kind of our introduction and and how we were connected by I believe ha. A nine to five Mac happy hour listener who kind of heard my discussion and you know, looking for a feature that would replace Nike run club to give you personal records, personal best from runs and specific distances. [00:00:39] And they turned me on to your app tempo and that's how we got in touch. And that was a while ago. And I actually, I went, I went back after we were talking to like search for the tweet because I remembered it was a tweet that somebody had sent it. That was, that was the recommendation. And I couldn't find it. [00:00:55] And I just figured it all, you know, things, things go away. But you had an email this week. Tell me about your email. You had. [00:01:02] Rahul Matta: Yeah. So I got an email from Paul because I I had a request out during our last session to please reach out. And Paul was like, Hey, here's this screenshot off? What I had mentioned to Zach and you know, he's like, I'm super glad you guys were able to connect and what you're doing right now. [00:01:19] And I was like, wow, this is amazing. You know, they'll power off like the internet and podcasting, I guess. And I, I do want to say thank you, Paul. And he has a feature request that I'll be talking about in the future episodes. And that's something that I'm starting to work on. I think it's something that. [00:01:38] A lot of folks have requested and it's just been sitting on the list because of all the other reasons that that things that I have been shipping with temple, but this, this feature you know, I think this is the best reason to prioritize it all the way to the top. So It's happening now, it's in the works. [00:01:55] Zac Hall: That is awesome. I can't wait to hear more about it. And I think Paul took his account private, which is why I didn't see the tweet anymore. But that makes perfect sense. It's like, Oh my gosh. That's so cool. Cause it was from so many years ago from 2021 and that is just too cool. Absolutely. So the next thing this week is I want to check on, on our, on our health homework that we introduced last week. Last week's health homework [00:02:19] So on the onset of these six episodes and watch time, you challenged me in the first week to run three different times for five minutes or more. And I didn't. Quite meet that challenge in the first episode. So that was again the homework for the next next week. And then my, my assignment to you was to complete an Apple fitness plus time to walk exercise, which is a walking workout from the Apple watch, which is mixed with storytelling and music from someone who Apple selects. [00:02:51] So I want to begin with you. I think that might be the easiest to do. Did you complete your homework and if so, how did it go? [00:02:57] Rahul Matta: I absolutely completed my homework and it went really well overall. I really enjoyed it. I listened to the. To the audio by ouzo. Duba. She is an actress from orange is the new black series on Netflix. [00:03:13]I haven't watched it. I, now it's on my list to go watch it, but essentially you know, she talked about ...
