0:00.0	Hello and welcome to episode 304 of AvTalk.
0:12.4	I am Ian Petchnik here, as always with...
0:16.7	Jason Erbinowitz.
0:17.7	How's it going, Ian?
0:19.0	It's going well, Jason.
0:20.4	It is bitterly cold here in Chicago. It is bitterly cold here in Chicago.
0:22.6	It is bitterly cold here in New York, and it's bitterly cold in places that probably isn't
