Good evening, everybody. How are y'all doing? Welcome to the show. Got a great show plan for you.

Oh, going to be starting this show off by talking about how to get outside more. What?

This is a reminder to myself, if nothing else. I'm letting you all exhibitionistically watch me essentially do a reminder to myself.

outside, getting fresh air, vitamins, something I'm always reminding myself. I am repeating

myself, but I want to share a story with you because this anecdote was really meaningful to me.

So for those that have already heard it three, four, or five times, bear with me. But there is a vitamin shop supplement store that I love going to.

It's here in the Hollywood area, West Hollywood, actually, very popular place.

And I got to know the individual who works, the vitamin counter.
