Summary

We were saddened to learn of the accidental death over the weekend of Kim Tran AKA Kim Valentine. We discussed some of her accomplishments on the platform and the role she played in bringing women and Asian lifters into the sport. Kim was a guest on our previous podcast 9 years ago. You can watch that episode here: https://youtu.be/oKz4tBIQdGU?si=RyITUYZ6vfoQFe5O

In lighter discussion, we list the “16 seasons of Sacramento” (crazy for a place people think only has two). We also take a look at USAPL Nationals. Will the federation survive its rivalry with Powerlifting America? What could be done to make big national meets more fun for the crowd? Could the answer be side quests?

Mike related how gaming in a lull at the moment, and Jim shared a recent brush with AI for a writing process.
