| 0:11.4 | It's a new episode of Nobody Asked us with Desin Kera, live from Tokyo, presented by Brooks |
| 0:16.1 | and a lot of help from Ketone IQ, which we totally appreciate it because we're both burning it at both ends. |
| 0:23.3 | This is going to be a quick one, but Des how are you doing this morning? |
| 0:28.3 | Good. I'm okay. I'm hanging in. I do need a ketone so bad. I'm using a handheld mic so I can't reach over and grab it and open it because it's sealed but I'm |
| 0:37.9 | going to have that immediately once we're done here. Got up, ran and yeah, now I'm, I feel like I've had |
| 0:46.1 | a whole day and it's like at the end but it's just getting started. So I know you have a lot of work |
| 0:50.2 | stuff today. How are you doing? I slept for seven hours last night, which is the most I've |
| 0:55.8 | slept since I've been here. So I am still massively sleep deprived, but I'm trying to be like, |
| 1:01.8 | oh, I'm turning a corner. I'm getting adjusted. It's tough because the meat wraps at 1030. And then |
| 1:07.4 | we may or may not have some highlights to do super close walk back but i get back at like 11 1115 |

| 1:45.3 | the races, the calls and they're spectacular, but it's just a grind. Yeah. Like my workday officially |
| 1:51.5 | starts four hours before we go on air. So we go on air at seven tonight. So it officially |
| 1:57.0 | starts at three. That's the first meeting. But I still need two hours or so of prep as well. |
| 2:03.6 | So it is super fun, but it's a grind. And I'm just thankful that I'm just like a distance analyst and not |
| 2:09.9 | play by play because then I would die. Yeah. You would not be doing a podcast or obligations if you were you were play-by-play. But you did, |
| 2:19.5 | you stepped into the 800s last night. That was a big deal. You've been toying with it. |
| 2:24.4 | So obviously, Sonia's not there. How was that? I was really nervous. To be honest, |
