0:00.0	Steven Robbins here. Welcome to the Get It Done Guys quick and dirty tips to work less and do more.
0:09.1	Conferences. I just love conferences. It's my chance to emerge from my lair, squint at the sudden
0:15.1	sunlight, and connect and bond with other members of my species. What could be better?
0:20.7	As longtime listeners know, I like to be in tip-top shape when I members of my species. What could be better? As long-time listeners know,
0:22.3	I like to be in tip-top shape when I emerge from my cave. I want to be alpha male, and have
0:27.8	the other males cower in despair at my commanding presence. That's why I work out with
