The clip is a tease into the bigger conversation. Rigsby was in the studio reminiscing about his early days: “I had a fat ass and a will to succeed.” Thus, topics ran from fitness to something a little more personal; Rigsby was candid: “Monogamy is not for me,” and speculated that he could have an “intimacy issue.” Paltrow asked: “Would you like to share your therapist’s name?” The verdict came from Rigsby: “I wish you well,” something that has grown to become the classic phrase with which he says goodbye to his fans.
After the snippet was made public, the commenters who had the privilege of feeling the full energy in-service couldn’t contain their excitement. “I was there-it was amazing!” exclaimed one from inside the live recording. “Love being in the room for this fun convo,” another wrote, tagging Rigsby. Comments poured in, applauding the energy and how motivating it was. “Cody’s energy is pure motivation!” exclaimed one cheerleader, just before another shouted, “We’re loving this guy.”
An utterance or two of mild contention sprang up among the cascade of positive remarks. The comment was, “Terrible, so terribly unnatural, inflated and radiates a bit of negative energy.” Such a parenthetical comment is the black or un-loved voice on how Rigsby with his bolder personality is cherished by many but not all.
The utterance “I wish you well” was an instant anthem with the commenters, who started throwing out the phrase in droves. “I WISH YOU WELL” exclaimed one user, while another declared, “You had me at ‘I wish you well.’” That kind of reaction is concrete proof of how some of Rigsby’s quirky expressions have become endemic to his brand identity, serving as inside jokes bonding his followers.
Still, the comments continued with experiences from attending Rigsby’s Peloton classes, thereby cementing his status as a fitness phenomenon. “I’ve ever done one and only one Peloton class in New York with Cody and it was epic,” reminisced one user. Another shouted, “Cody is the best. I do not miss my Peloton—only Cody!” This adulation speaks to the power Rigsby has in making connection through the screen that lends a personal touch to virtual fitness.
Another comment took a more literal approach, with a user querying Paltrow as to the brand of sunglasses worn in the clip: “Agree. please share the glasses,” which sparked speculation from another user as to it probably being from Caddis eyewear. This snippet of interaction shows Paltrow starts off at wellness and swiftly sees her brand-to-fashion-and-lifestyle-shared-Recommendations endorsed by her target audience.
This episode of the podcast is another iteration of strategic partnerships for the goop outfit and one that stands tall with candid dialogues about health, relationships, and modern living. Rigsby’s exploding hype during lockdowns is a bit of truffle hunting for Paltrow-with that being exclaimed, it is in keeping with the goop brand of humor and candidness toward contemporary wellness topics.
Some attractive features of Rigsby Include fabulous fitness classes, sprinkled with brilliant, much too often, self-deprecating humor. Psychic depth into therapy and relationships almost aligns with goop’s out-the-door bigger-wellness attitude. Judging from the snippet, this is probably the motivation Paltrow promised, with a whole lot of laugh-aloud moments and oodles of human connection poured in.
With all the hype surrounding the preview, the entire episode should also shower attention very soon after launching. With Rigsby’s almost massive following and the fiercely loyal Boo Crew of Peloton riders combined with Paltrow’s trustworthy wellness crowd, this collaboration is an absolute win-win, where entertainment meets the promised motivational boost. Or as one post summed up how we collectively feel about Rigsby being a part of it, “We love a cozy and candid Cody.”
