0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the stuff live I'm Elise Morales I'm Sammy Fishbine and the
0:11.2	stuff live is your weekly rundown of all the crazy shit that's happened in the news.
0:16.7	So today...
0:19.7	There's a lot of crazy shit that happened yesterday.
0:22.4	Yesterday in the news. So we're going to take some time today to talk about the shooting
0:26.5	that occurred in Parkland, Florida.
0:30.0	Not our usual upbeat, fun. You won't be getting any Kylie General updates today.
