Hey, welcome to Fitstock Radio. It's Labor Day, everybody. So if you're pregnant and you're

0:15.6

water burst, this is the day for you. Yeah, that's always fun. But really, let's be serious. Labor

0:25.6

Day is about the workers. It's kind of got a communist connotation to it, doesn't it? Labor day,

0:35.2

didn't it start in Russia as part of the labor review? I would, oh, I know. I have no idea. Why,

0:41.7

why talk at my ass? I do know there is a strike going on with the writers guild right now and the
