| 0:00.0 | Hey, before we get started super quick, if you appreciate what we're doing here on an arm |
| 0:05.3 | and a leg, I want to ask you to help us out by donating to support the show. And I'm asking you |
| 0:11.0 | right now because right now, any money you give us gets matched dollar for dollar thanks to |
| 0:16.9 | newsmatch from the Institute for Nonprofit News. So you give us 50 bucks, they make it 100, |
