0:00.0	Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, All right, so here we go. Let's talk about to weigh or not to weigh? That is a question. Everyone take a deep breath inhale.
1:38.7	Exhale and let go of fear.
1:46.0	Inhale again.
1:51.5	Exhale and let go of judgment. It's just a number. It's just information. And we're going to get
1:59.3	back to it in a minute because we got to figure out where we are in relationship to this
