1:35.8	where a bunch we do a Q&A after all of these weekly calls. And so many of the bebs were
1:42.7	asking about incomplete protein versus complete protein.
1:48.6	So that's what I want to dive in today with you guys. And I think it's going to, I hope that it
1:56.5	makes total sense for you guys. And I think it's going to also help change the way that you
2:00.8	look at food. Because you guys know, I've been saying it over and over and over and over again in many, many, many episodes. You need more protein, right? You've heard it from me.
