| 0:00.0 | Christina Warren welcome to the talk show. It's good to have you. |
| 0:04.3 | It's good to be here. Thanks for having me. |
| 0:06.4 | It is the end of July and or nearly we often have nothing to talk about but rehashing |
| 0:14.0 | two-month-old W.W.D.C. news and instead it is absolutely possible to |
| 0:19.4 | whittle the list of possible things to talk about. That is bizarre. What is going on |
| 0:24.3 | that the news is so overwhelming when we are locked in. There has to be some kind of |

| 1:29.0 | I think that is part of it too. There is always delusional things and we never know what day we are on. |
| 1:34.5 | Yeah it is true and I am not even complaining because it suits me and it is certainly my good fortune |
| 1:44.1 | in life that I have eaked out a career and it suits my personality that I on a day to day basis |
| 1:51.8 | if you are just watching what I do you may not know whether the footage is of me during coronavirus |
