0:00.0	Hello, everybody. Chris Geffen here and welcome to another episode of the Knowledge and Mileage
0:04.8	podcast. This interview has been a long time coming. We were going to get together a couple of
0:10.1	times. Then he headed off around the world, went to Australia. Then we were supposed to meet at the
0:15.2	Arnold Classic, a show that this gentleman has actually placed second in, and then obviously everything
0:20.7	just went a little bit tits up,
0:22.4	who would call it? And the coronavirus happened. I was in Columbus, but this gentleman didn't make it.
0:30.1	And that gentleman right here, I'm proud to announce, is Ben Pekolsky. Welcome to the show, brother.

1:18.3	supplement even better. Think about feeding your friendly bacteria in your gut now.
1:24.6	And you've heard me probably talk about P3OM before because this is a probiotic
1:29.3	that I've been taking and suggesting for many years now. And I'm going to give you guys the
