0:00.0	Hello, welcome to the Monday episode of Stand Up. I have a really awesome conversation
0:10.2	with the brilliant and hilarious John Fugel saying joins me today and I think it was really
0:17.9	special we covered a lot in our almost one hour conversation. If you want to skip my
0:23.8	little news update, my news and notes section to get right to my conversation with John
0:29.6	then it begins at about 23 minutes in after a very robust and comprehensive news recap.
