0:51.8	My name is Christine Blackburn, and I'm here with Hannes Finney, and we're coming to you live from the campus of Hofstra University because our guest tonight is one of their most famous alumni. Oh, okay. No, I didn't know that. Where is Hofstra at University? Long Island, New York. I could have guessed that. Yes. All right, fantastic.
