| 0:20.7 | All right. Now, here's today's question from Brian. |
| 0:24.6 | Hey, Pat, how's it going? This is Brian. I have an affiliate deal with a pretty unknown supplement. |

| 1:23.7 | what you're doing. Thanks. |

| 1:40.5 | account which i don't think you should do and i don't think that's what you intended to do. But what I think you mean is you want to stop with uploading new videos onto YouTube. |
