0:29.3	But we have people coming into the chat and if you have any questions or comments or
0:34.3	want to be part of the program. You can start to put those in the live chat.
0:39.2	If you're a patron, of course you can be part of the show if you want you can go to patreon.com
0:44.3	forward slash worldview conversation and there's a link there on the last
