0:14.0	Welcome to the Chris Polmo project. I have to say I'm a little surprised. Why did you think that if you
0:21.0	sent in your comments and that you called the phone number 516-412-6307-516-412-6307? Why are you
0:34.0	surprised that you actually were able to leave a message or send a message and that we actually did a
0:39.8	bonus episode where I was answering them? The project is about us collaborating and working
0:44.4	together. Why are you surprised that if you sent in pictures that I found especially interesting
0:50.0	of you in free agent gear that I'd make going on the promise and pick some of you and send you
0:55.0	whatever you want from free agent gear. That's what the project is about. It's transparency,

2:01.5	how people move up in society in ways that we're not used to hearing, certainly not from politicians.
2:07.1	So I'll begin with a question in our pursuit. What does Jackson, Mississippi and man, Tai Teo have in common?
2:16.1	Almost lost it. No, no, no, I have found it. The connection is both our examples of mistakes.
2:24.1	We knew we were making and made anyway. How so? Jackson, Mississippi, I'm referring to the water crisis that's going on there.
