| 0:00.0 | Hey, it's Ella. Listen, before we jump into this mini episode, I wanted to make sure you knew something. |
| 0:05.5 | You know these mini episodes are clips from longer shows, right? These mini episodes that I release on |
| 0:10.9 | Fridays, they're not our typical show. The typical shows are released on Tuesdays or Wednesdays as |
| 0:16.3 | full-length episodes. And on Fridays, I'm just clipping really useful, I hope, sound bites from |
| 0:23.0 | previous shows. So if you like what you're hearing and you want to know more, you can always |
| 0:28.0 | open up the episode details in whatever app you're listening to, and the full episode will be |
| 0:34.1 | linked right there for you in both Apple and Spotify. |
| 0:41.9 | So if you like what you hear, you can then jump into the full episode, or you can just enjoy these minis as I continue to release them every Friday to remind you of some of the nuggets |
| 0:47.1 | that we have shared in the past. |

| 1:13.5 | day, always quick, always thought-provoking, and always under 10 minutes. Let's go. |
| 1:22.1 | This week's bad is body mass index, more commonly known as BMI, specifically as a metric for health. And why am I |
| 1:32.5 | talking to you about this? I'm going to tell you a little backstory. Okay. I was talking to a friend of |
| 1:37.1 | mine and he was able to get the COVID vaccine ahead of many other people in the state that we live in |
| 1:42.8 | where you had to qualify with certain |
| 1:44.9 | conditions to be eligible. Okay. So there was quite the cue and you had to have a condition or |
| 1:51.0 | you had to check a certain box to be able to sort of jump in front of the line. And he's really |
| 1:55.0 | healthy. And he is five, nine-ish, let's say, like he's not super tall, but he is super jacked, all right? |
| 2:01.4 | Like extremely muscular, really low body fat percentage. And I want you to know, it's not noticing |
