YKS Premium! You gotta subscribe to it to get the shows. And the shows are what you want to listen to, because they’re good. And you want to listen to good stuff because it’s fun. And you like fun stuff because, uh, it’s good. I don’t know how far to go with this. It probably has to do with serotonin, which I think is like a molecule or something. Help your molecules. Subscribe to YKS Premium.

This episode of YKS is sponsored by these fine brands:

Factor – I would eat Factor meals for every meal if I could. Actually I guess I could. But that wouldn’t leave room for my much-reviled “Hot Dog Salad” I simply can’t do without. For the other 99 meals a week, I’m going with Factor – for healthy, simple, and delicious meals that just won’t quit! Go to FactorMeals.com/YKS50 to get 50% off your first box!

Rocket Money - We’re all tired of saving money. That’s why I love spending tons of money on subscriptions I forgot about long ago. Oh wait, that would be insane! That’s where Rocket Money comes in. Trim the fat and cut the crap, with Rocket Money! RocketMoney.com/yks

AthleticGreens - Vitamins are grand…but what if they tasted good and were actually easy to take? And affordable, also? Some thought it couldn’t be done. But Athletic Greens knew better. And here comes AG1 to disrupt the entire supplement industry! Wow! Go to AthleticGreens.com/yks for a free 1 year supply of Vitamin D and 5 free travel packs!

0:00.0	It's springtime, Mike, and my energy is flagging a little bit.
0:04.4	I really do think I need some nutritious, convenient meals that will energize me for warmer,
0:10.7	active days, and keep me on track reaching my goals. I don't suppose you have any of those anywhere
0:16.0	to you. Yeah, if I got just the thing, factor as meals that you can eat. That's great. That's what I
0:25.2	love to do with them. That's actually perfect for me. Just to be clear, before we continue
0:30.3	on too far down that road, I want to make sure you're talking about factor. America's number one
0:35.5	ready to eat meal kit, right? That's right. It can help you fuel up fast. You just scrolled away

1:42.0	549. 548. 547. They have them all. One. They have a one calorie. I don't know if they'll
1:49.6	send it to you. I don't think they have a one calorie meal. I think they're working on that one
