0:00.0	Hello everybody and welcome to another edition of Russellomics Radio. I'm
0:03.8	Brandon at Thurson Broadcasting live and on demand from Buffalo, New York, or
0:07.3	today is Sunday June 19th, 2022. I'm joined for this special edition of
0:15.7	Russellomics. Joined from my immediate south, Chris Gullo, and from Odo East,
