0:00.0	Hey everyone, welcome to Being Well. I'm Forest Hanson. If you're new to the podcast,
0:12.0	thanks for joining us today and if you've listened before, welcome back.
0:16.4	I've been really looking forward to this episode because, well, I've been looking forward
0:20.8	to this episode since we started doing the podcast. It was one of the topics that I wrote

1:19.6	That's all right.
1:22.6	It's funny, there's a kind of strange gayity coming
1:25.6	through about a topic that involves both a lot of

1:35.1	Yeah.
