| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to Maine Justice. |
| 0:06.7 | I know exactly what day it is because I'm looking at someone who's all outfitted in green, |
| 0:14.0 | whose eyes appear green. |
| 0:15.9 | I always thought your eyes were blue. |
| 0:17.2 | They are blue, but they do look green, I agree. |
| 0:20.1 | Because it's St. Patrick's Day. |
| 0:21.7 | In case listeners are wondering, no, I am wearing green in honor of Andrew Weissman's birthday, |

| 1:23.4 | Nope, I hear you. |
| 1:33.7 | But as we always have, there's a lot of things to talk about and they're really interesting today in a lot of different ways. What is on our dance card, Mary?
