0:00.0	Hi guys, it's Tony Robbins. You're listening to Habits and Hustle. Crush it.
0:10.3	Okay, we got Gary Breka.
0:12.4	Gary, like, who are you?
0:15.0	Like, tell us who you are.
0:16.1	Well, I'm in your basement.
0:17.2	I know you're in my basement.
0:18.9	I know who you are.

1:21.0	But the truth is, it's some of the most accurate science in the world.
1:23.7	It's not my science, but it's some of the most accurate science in the world.
