| 0:00.0 | What's up, guys? Chris Gethyn here. And this is the Knowledge and Mileage Podcast. |
| 0:07.6 | Don't really know what the title of this one is going to be. I know what I want to talk about, |
| 0:12.4 | but how am I going to title it? How will I get the most traction? But it's all about how |
| 0:17.5 | cigarettes, alcohol and drugs can negatively impact your health and fitness goals, |
| 0:26.9 | your weight training ability, your performance goals, etc., etc. So I'll have to figure out how |
| 0:32.7 | to title that one later. But guys, I'm talking to you on several platforms here, iTunes, Spotify, Google Play. |
| 0:41.0 | What else is there? Stitcher and other millennial channels that this old dog doesn't really know |
| 0:49.4 | about. YouTube. We're on YouTube. I know that one. I've seen me on that. So I know that exists. |
| 0:57.2 | Anything else? Spotify? Said that. Don't have a Spotify account, I don't think. Maybe I do. I don't know. |
| 1:04.8 | iTunes is far advanced in me. I do like it, but I do like the old vinyl. But I don't think this |

Maybe I attract that following, based on the way that I look. People think that I'm a party animal. |
| 1:46.3 | People do think that. They see this guy, sometimes a different colored hair, goes through |
| 1:51.2 | midlife crisis on a weekly basis, has a mohawk covered in tattoos, and I think that I party. |
| 1:57.7 | I tell you what, I'm such a fuddy-duddy. I stay at home. I don't party at all. |
| 2:03.4 | You know, I've, I've been known to stay up after 10 p.m. You know, even on a school night. |
| 2:09.5 | But that's pretty much as far as it goes. I just don't, I'm not badass. I just like to look badass. |
| 2:17.0 | Smoking. Smoking causes a shortness of breath to begin with. |
| 2:22.8 | So it decreases the lung capacity and lowers the ability to feed oxygen to the muscles. |
| 2:29.6 | So our muscles are feeding on nutrient rich blood and oxygen rich blood. Now, if we are removing or lowering |
