0:25.5	Vincent DraHarnowar and Jeff Canada. Welcome to the show everyone. Today is Monday November 2nd
0:33.5	we're recording the show by the time you're listening to this it's probably going to be Tuesday,
0:37.2	November 3rd and I'm just going to start this episode by stating the obvious. Everyone is
0:45.1	probably really stressed today you know no matter what side of the political aisle you are
0:50.2	it's apparently a very stressful time I've read in the story about in NBC News today about

2:09.6	neither of those. Something horribly muddled in between. Some sort of bunker situation is the
2:17.5	new American Civil War is broken out and they're using the Slash Filmcast is just a kind of
2:23.8	salve to get through the next minute of their lives because they're taking it minutes by minute.
