And the Hello everyone and welcome to the next episode of the Disclosure Podcast. I am your host

0:22.2

And so I thought we could expand on that video and so for those of you who haven't seen the video it is a conversation he's having with John Stewart who is the ex-host of the daily show he's a well-known comedian and television presenter in the US and he's also vegan along with his wife and they run an animal sanctuary together and so this was the conversation and it was uploaded to YouTube on Joe Rogan's kind of

1:15.7

substantial in length I think it was clocking in about 26 minutes and that was cut down

1:19.6

as well so there's a lot that can be said about this and so I thought it would be good to include that within a podcast.
