| 0:00.0 | It's the Brian Laris show on WNYC. |
| 0:13.2 | Good morning. |
| 0:13.9 | Happy Friday, everybody. |
| 0:15.5 | Well, here we are again. |
| 0:16.5 | I'm going to start the show exactly the way we did yesterday by saying this is a Supreme Court decision |
| 0:22.5 | day. The second to last Friday in June, like the second to last Thursday, is a big decision |
