| 0:00.0 | Hello, hi and welcome to another episode of the Emmer Gunn show and a midweek installment of bullet points. |
| 0:11.0 | Now before we get started, if you enjoy this podcast, whether it's the longer |
| 0:14.5 | interviews or the snappier bullet points episodes, then please may I ask you to take a moment to leave |
| 0:19.8 | a five-star review, share the link with a friend, or shout about it or whichever social media platform |
| 0:24.6 | you enjoy the most. Thank you. |
| 0:27.6 | As for today's episode, it's time to call out the Guru's, and if you've been listening for a while you'll know exactly what I mean. |
| 0:37.5 | So the age of the guru it's something I've talked about in these bullet points before |
| 0:41.7 | I have talked about or raged about I think raged about vented, rented is probably a better |
