0:35.0	We did the I am books that he introduced to us that he does.
0:39.0	Remember one was about Walt Disney and the other were about Marie Curie and he's also done the
0:45.3	conspiracy to kill George Washington which is one of those real gems of
0:50.1	history that he had uncovered and he's got another gem of history he's
0:54.3	uncovered here with the Lincoln conspiracy and that book comes out I believe it's May
0:58.8	5th and so he wanted to say hello Brad Mel. It's great to have you with us.
