0:00.0 | Welcome to the Sports Motivation Podcast. It is your host, the Shobo. This is Books and Bars, |
0:05.1 | all right? Books and bars where I break down excerpts from my favorite books, books that I'm |
0:10.6 | reading, books that I've been exploring, and also bars from my favorite songs, rap lyrics, etc. |
0:16.6 | Who knows, though? I may use a R&B song or a country song. I wouldn't count that out, |
0:21.7 | all right? But this book, I'm doing a book today. It's from Jay Paul Getty, and he is a billionaire, |

1:26.6 | But I say that, it's the same thing that I said when I talked about Floyd Mayweather |
