Welcome back to the best episode of the week.

0:20.3

Joined by my co-host, Sof. What's going on, Sof?

0:24.2

Hello, how's it going? Good, going good. How's your day been this far?

0:29.5

Dude, it's good. I listened to your pod this morning on the way to the gym. It was great. Love it.

0:34.7

Yeah. Let's go. Yep. Yeah. Dude, life changing It was good. Yeah. For me personally, life changing. Yeah. Yeah. I didn't realize like the extent of it or like I didn't know anything about it. So yeah, I guess I learned. Yeah. Well, I mean, I was really shocked. I was shocked with like the how you have to do it forever. That's the part that I was like, oh my God, that's crazy.

0:57.0

Yeah, but dude, is it though? Because like I'm going to take creatine forever. I'm going to take multivitamin for it. You know what I mean? Like, because that was one of the things that caught me up a bit. And for those of you who are listening, the previous podcast that I put out was about

2:06.8

like there's an argument to be made that's like, well, if you take it and you feel way better,

2:11.7

then you'd have way more motivation to do the things. So there is an argument to be made. So I,
