| 0:00.0 | Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to another episode of the podcast. |
| 0:11.2 | Today, I have a returning guest. |
| 0:14.2 | That guest is my wife, Stephanie Bear. |
| 0:17.9 | Thanks for having me again. |
| 0:19.2 | First time in the studio. |
| 0:21.1 | It is, yeah. I was telling Matt, I drove here and I drove to the old HQ. |
| 0:23.8 | That tells you how much I've been here. |

| 1:32.6 | Just because I've significantly pulled back on strength training during this Iron Man probe. |
| 1:38.2 | Just core, right? |
