0:00.0 | Welcome to the Bullwhip Podcast. I'm Charlie Sykes. It is Monday, May 22, 2023, and I am back |
0:15.3 | in Wisconsin and Will is back in. Where are you? Like in Maryland, right? |
0:20.0 | Yep, yep, right. That's how to Washington. |
0:21.7 | It's always disorienting because a week ago today we were actually in the same building, |

0:33.8 | And then of course, last week we did the On the Road live event just off Broadway, |

1:37.7 | Russia's latest sanctions on US officials turned to Trump enemies. Let's read this. |
1:43.0 | Russia has expanded its list of sanctioned Americans in a tit-partat retaliation for the latest |
1:47.8 | curbs imposed by the United States, which by the way is not to his not to pertain to. |
