0:00.0	Everyone, Vancouver Radio, whatever you're doing, I hope you're feeling awesome and I hope
0:06.1	you are moving well because that's what we're going to be talking about today. Now I think

0:31.3	chat because I really value it, I also really value barefoot movement, I can't wait for the summer
0:38.3	when you can be in your bare feet even more, getting the guard and just walk around, connect,
0:43.1	have that connection with nature and I think that's why I've probably worn some form of barefoot

1:02.9	back in the day and have been a big fan of ViVo's ever since. But anyway, Ben, they can't welcome
1:09.3	to the show. Thank you very much, thank you. Sorry. Yeah, I was going to say it's ViVoBearfoot as well,

1:34.5	and then I just, do you know when you focus on the bit that you need to get right so much that you
1:39.6	just say that bit? Yeah, everyone gets it wrong, sorry. The best one I ever had was Levin's
1:46.2	growth. I thought that was, that was complaining to a British gasman over the phone about something
1:53.2	and he called me Mr Levin's growth and that was the end of my complaint. I was crying with laughter
1:57.2	and thanked him for a great day. Oh good. Oh my dear, you're well, Ben, Levin, welcome to the show.
