0:00.0	All right, Kathy's, I kicked those other two bums out for this episode because it was going to be a highly intelligent talk.
0:07.9	We have a very special guest today, Bradley Tusk, who just released a TED Talk a few weeks ago around mobile voting and a really fascinating topic. And Bradley has an
0:26.3	incredible background that we'll also get into. And then he's going to sit and talk some news
0:30.7	with me. So I'm excited to have him. He's calling in from New York City. And we were just talking
0:34.5	about that he would consider, you know, doing winter in L.A.,

1:36.1	But I'm a little more intellectually honest that I'm like, it looks fucking great to me.
1:38.2	So I like L.A.
1:39.2	I like it whenever I'm there.
