0:00.0	The following podcast is a deer media production.
0:03.4	Before we get into the episode, I have a public service announcement.
0:08.0	If you are a fan of this podcast and you want to support the podcast, I have a request.
0:14.3	When you guys hear us talk about our different podcast partners who support our podcast,
0:20.0	right, and help for the production of everything, please, please, please, please, please.
0:26.3	Use our unique hookup codes.
0:30.7	What happens is we will mention different products, for example, the ritual multi-vitamin,
0:36.8	which y'all know we love. And I will hear that you guys are using these products,
0:43.1	like whether it's in the comments or Yulson DMs or Yul Tagas on Instagram or Yul mentioned it
0:50.0	in your reviews. But then when we ask people, like if we follow up and say, oh, hey,
0:55.2	like we're able to use the hookup code, many people don't even realize that they should have used
1:00.8	the code. The reason why it's important to use the code is because that shows the advertisers
1:06.7	slash partners that this is a worthwhile podcast to invest in and that they're getting the return
1:12.4	on the investment and the production of this podcast. So we beg of you, if you want to support the show,
1:17.1	please use our codes. If you are going to try any of these products versus just kind of getting
1:21.6	them without using the code. If you are like, I don't know where to find the codes, we put them
1:26.8	all in one place. So if you're ever confused after an episode, then you just go to our website
1:32.9	foodheaven.com slash hookup. And every week we update them. So even if you're just getting something
1:39.7	in general or you heard us mention something whatever six months ago, you can always go there and
1:45.0	they're all just there in a big list. So it's a win-win because you guys will save money by using
1:50.0	the code. And also the brand realizes it's, you know, a worthwhile investment to partner with us.
1:55.9	So thank you for listening and we're going to get into that episode.
