| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to opening arguments. Don't adjust that dial. That's right. We're here. |
| 0:06.4 | We're here at an off time. How's it going, Andrew Torres? |
| 0:10.0 | It's going great. I mean, you know, I haven't really stopped to breathe a week in, but it's |
| 0:16.0 | fantastic. How are you? I'm doing well. Yes. We wanted to record for you guys a special |
| 0:22.9 | because the Supreme Court news. Not while it wasn't the worst possible news, there's still so much to |
| 0:30.0 | talk about. So, and then we figured, you know, February is such a weird month. Somebody really |
| 0:34.8 | screwed up making February. I don't know. I think I say this every year, but what what what |
| 0:39.2 | calendar makers? What what what's going on in February? What's the deal? It's not it's not one day shorter. |
| 0:45.2 | What's the deal? Yeah, exactly. It's not one day shorter. It's it's like three day shorter than |
| 0:51.2 | some months. I don't understand. Anyway, since it's normally a short month, anyway, we figured we |

| 1:13.8 | We're going to go half regular and then half bonus for patrons only. So, that was our thinking. |
| 1:21.8 | And we're coming to you on an on an off day as soon as we could get to you to record this. So, |
| 1:27.4 | I'm excited. Yeah, I am too. I think there is a tremendous amount of misreporting going on |
| 1:35.1 | regarding June Medical Services versus G, the case that we talked about in episode 251. We |
| 1:42.7 | held back recording as long as we could. Yeah. Waiting for the Supreme Court and the Supreme Court |
| 1:47.3 | finally issued a stay at 9.30 pm at night. Yeah. I got out some, you know, quick reaction over social |
| 1:54.5 | media. But look, I know, you know, not everybody follows us on Twitter. Not everyone is a member of |
| 1:59.1 | the opening arguments Facebook community, although you should. So, I wanted to get out and |
| 2:05.5 | but they really are just messing with us at this point, right? I mean, you we get a special thing. |
