0:00.0	Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Wadcast podcast. I'm your host, Eddie Ift, if I'm being
0:09.0	a little quiet and low energy in this introduction, it's because I'm recording right here in my
0:15.5	house. Well, my children and my wife are sleeping. I'm about to build a brand new big studio. We
0:22.8	don't know what we're going to do. If we're going to get a air stream or build outside the house,
0:27.6	a shed type studio, or if I'm going to get an office, but I got to get out of here. So I'm
0:35.4	the plans. We're in the works. If you're new to the show, welcome. This is the Wadcast podcast
0:41.7	where we talk about everything from strength, conditioning, fitness, health, nutrition,
0:48.4	that can be anything that involves health like from breathing to sleep to all kinds of sports,
0:56.1	athleticism. We run the gamut here and I bring on really, really interesting guests.
1:03.6	I, for a profession, am a stand-up comedian. I take my health and fitness very seriously,
1:10.0	as I just ate 85% chocolate and some cashew nuts, maybe not the best thing in the world. But
1:18.3	I worked out today at Malibu CrossFit under the tutelage of Mike Anderson and his great staff
1:26.8	there. He had me doing split jerks today. That's not what's hurt me yesterday. I did a whole bunch
1:36.2	of front squats and ooh, on my sore. And thank God I've got my CBD MD freeze because I put this all
1:45.5	over my legs and feels really good. Check that out. Check out CBD MD. Their products are
1:52.8	absolutely amazing when it comes to the top of the line CBD products. But I wanted to talk to you
1:59.8	about the show. What's going on? Today, our guest was, like I said, I am a stand-up comedian. I am
2:08.4	always on tour. If you want to see me live this week, I'm in Chicago. If I make it there through
2:13.2	the snow storm, I will be the 17th and 18th at Zaini's in Rosemont. The 19th I'll be at
2:20.4	downtown Chicago, Zaini's, a great club. One of my favorite clubs. It's just an awesome club to
2:26.1	watch stand-up comedy, to perform stand-up comedy. I love going there. I'll have these awesome hats
2:31.9	for sale when I'm there after the show if you want to get some merch. And then on Sunday night,
	...
