Welcome to the My Buddy Green podcast. I'm Jason Wackeb, founder and co-CEO of My Buddy Green,

0:05.5

and your host. Hi, it's Bluey Robinson here. Now all you desert devotees will know there's

0:10.9

nothing better than tucking into a tub full of Ben and Jerry's. But what I didn't know until

0:15.0

recently is that they've only gone and taken it to the next level and created an ice cream

0:18.9

Sunday experience in a tub. They've got some of the chunkiest,

0:22.5

swirliest flavors, but the new Sunday's range has an awesome whipped ice cream topping

0:26.8

1:24.4

to and see you in real life because your conference is always amazing. Colleen had a blast. And

1:28.8

next time we are going to get ahead of it and get child care and we will both go. But I've also,

1:33.2

it's moving to Orlando too, which is in Florida. I can drive there.

1:37.4

In June in Orlando, biohackingconference.com. And yeah, it'll be a quick drive for you. We're

1:43.9
