0:00.0	This is Optimal Living Daily Episode 1359, my history of stocking by Colin Wright of Exile Lifestyle.com
0:08.3	and I'm Justin Mollick. Happy Saturday, welcome to one of the only podcasts in the world where
0:12.6	blogs are narrated to you for free. That's with permission from the authors. And it's the last day
