This podcast is sponsored by Wonderful Pistachios.

Now I've been a wonderful pistachios customer for a long time prior to them coming on board,

as I'll typically use their no-shells, honey roasted pistachios in my morning oatmeal,

and then have some no-shells, sea salt and vinegar as a healthy fat source for a meal or snack in the evening.

Wonderful pistachios come in a number of other flavors, as well as different sizes for taking with you on the go, and they also have unsalted versions, which holds the sodium but not any of the flavor.

Wonderful pistachios is a complete protein providing all nine essential amino acids.

Like other nuts, pistachios are known for their protein power, the fiber content, and better

Whether you're running between meetings, dropping off the kids, or need something on the way

to the gym, Wonderful Pistachios are the snack that works as hard as you do.

the second most handsome Dr. North America. Dr. Austin Baraki, what's going on, man? Hey, I'm here. I'm ready.

Yeah, he's here.

Not a ton of major life updates on my end at the moment.

But we're cruising.
