0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the board podcast I'm your host Tim Miller it is going to be a big week. We've got the debate tomorrow night. We'll have a full
0:15.6	debate preview for you on tomorrow's show. I can only do one day a debate preview. The whole thing just
0:21.5	gets me nervous. I'm on MS NBC all weekend. They're like,
0:24.3	Tim, what's she going to say? I don't know what the hell, I know. Hopefully she's strong and stands up to him. The most
