0:00.0	The
0:07.0	The Welcome to Buddha at the gas pump.
0:26.6	My name is Rick Archer and my guests again this week are Samuel Bonder and Linda Groves Bonder.
0:32.6	If you happen to be watching this interview without having seen the one I did previously,
0:38.1	which was also with Samuel and Linda, you might want to watch that one first because this
