| 0:04.9 | Hi everybody. |
| 0:06.4 | It is Aaron and Stanger. |
| 0:08.3 | And before we start the episode, we want to talk to you guys about a great sponsor we have for the show called Ritual. |
| 0:16.7 | Ritual. |
| 0:17.8 | Yes, Stanger. |
| 0:18.7 | Tell us what they've won. |
| 0:26.4 | Well, I'll tell you guys, ritual is a great, it's a great sponsor. We partnered with them a while ago. |
| 0:34.9 | They were doing multivitamins. They were doing multivitamins for women. And now they're in the protein game. And we couldn't be more pleased because ritual is a cut above. |
| 0:39.1 | And when we're talking about protein, I think it's important to note and listeners should know |
