Zoe, can I ask you, are you somebody who sticks to a routine? Oh, I try, Joe. I really do. It's got to be easy. It's got to be kind of first thing in the morning or I just won't stick to it. 100%. I'm exactly the same, which is why I love Ancient and Braves while collagen. It's just one scoop in my morning drink and then that's it. I'm done. And no weird tastes. No. No, it's completely neutral. Sold already. And it's not just about skin and hair. |
| 0:59.5 | Collagen supports exercise recovery, energy and joints, which makes it a priority for me. It's clinically |
| 1:04.6 | backed, which I always look for. And what sets ancient and Brave apart isn't just their award-winning |
| 1:10.3 | products. |
| 1:11.2 | It's their commitment to sustainability. |
| 1:13.5 | They're B-Corp and proud members of 1% for the planet, |
| 1:16.6 | meaning that 1% of all their sales goes directly to environmental causes that protect our planet. |

| 2:06.3 | Episode 348. |
| 2:07.9 | As always, I'm one of your host, Mike Martin, joined by my other two co-hosts, Jesse and |
| 2:11.8 | Alex. |
| 2:12.6 | Welcome back to the show, boys. |
| 2:14.1 | Good to see both your smiling faces. |
| 2:15.9 | Yes. |
| 2:17.0 | Yes. I feel good. Oh, we're about to break into a musical top. Tops and chains appear. I don't know. Just I feel good. And listen, I think it's because there was there's good energy from last week, right? Like you leave the show on a cliffhanger. It feels good to come back. Is that what we're doing? Oh, well, I mean, that's what I did last week. I just, I left a little cliffhanger and now I'm back because I'm excited to like tell you guys about the good energy about the good, well, just about the cliffhanger. I'm excited. The energy is that I get to make good on the cliffhanger. But before we talk about the cliffhanger, should we talk about- I really tried to trip him up. And he just like, no, he was like water flowed around the rocks. Yeah. Yeah. I'm like Bruce Lee. I had a nice five-minute nap before the show can do for you. Yeah, that's exactly what you should do. Take a five-minute nap before the show, listener. Uh, pause go for a nap go to sleep. We'll be back. No, what I was going to say is, do we need to talk about the missing scientists? Do we? We've talked about that twice over the last bonus shows. Since we've spoken, there's been more. There's been another one since last we've spoken on the minisodia. And the inventor of the Healy's died. |
| 3:57.6 | And that could be just as serious. They found another scientist in his Tesla burned today or today or yesterday. All right. We had missed up. We had to stop. We have to stop. We have to stop. Yeah. Tesla's be loading. Yeah. That's true. That's true. No, but I heard, I heard that there's now an actual FBI inquest into the air. There is. Which is different than what was before, which to me, like we were talking about this last week, right? Like, that was what we were waiting for. We were like, well, we don't know a lot about this. And so, like, is it weird? |
| 3:59.0 | Maybe you can frame anything and make it seem weird. But now the FBI is like, well, that's weird. Yeah. My realistic take, if these people are truly going missing, I know people want me to say aliens. It's probably a tech war of some kind. like just opposing tech industries of countries, |
| 4:15.2 | sabotaging other tech like scientists who are discovering things. |
