Hi everybody, welcome to the Stratusphere Lounge. I'm your host Bill Whittle and we are coming to you on YouTube and on Twitch and I, after no thought whatsoever, realized I can start the YouTube stream first and then get this thing going. So here we are. I hope everybody's doing well and you can see the place is a little bit of a

leaving things around that giant reptilians could fall on and hurt their indestructible selves with.

Anyway, I hope everybody's doing well, not a whole lot to talk about for the intro.

So I imagine we'll get to questions earlier, just a couple things really.

and she'd spent probably most of her life in Russia in Sochi on the Black Sea.

She's out of the country now. And I've tried to
