| 0:00.0 | All right, everybody. Hello, it is Chris Geffen here. |
| 0:02.9 | Welcome to another episode of the Knowledge and Mileage Podcast. |
| 0:06.9 | We have a very special guest in Arizona, in Arizona today. |
| 0:12.9 | Last time when we spoke to him, he was from L.A., Venice, California. |
| 0:16.2 | However, he's moved across the country. |
| 0:18.3 | He has been on the show before. |
| 0:20.8 | Wade, Lightheart, everybody. |
| 0:23.0 | Welcome to the show, sir. |
| 0:24.8 | Chris, great to be back and great to reconnect. |

| 1:13.2 | probably talk about P3OM before because this is a probiotic that I've been taking and suggesting |
| 1:19.6 | for many years now. And I'm going to give you guys the opportunity to get 20% of this right now. All you've got to do is go to www.w.com |
