0:18.8	YouTube channel on this Sunday afternoon, at least here on the West Coast.
0:22.8	Thank you, everyone who's joining us. Sorry, we're a few minutes late, but I am John Roka. That is Steve
0:28.4	Morris, and we were having some conversations before we started about where we're at in the world,
0:34.0	and we just wanted to kind of finish out one of our impromptu shorts that we did not
