Here's the thing that makes life so interesting.

The theory of evolution claims only the strong shall survive.

The theory of competition says that the strong can't get the kick.

See, whatever long shot come from behind underdog will tell you this.

The other guy may in fact be the favorite.

The odds may be stacked against you, fair enough.

But what the odds don't know is this isn't a math test.

This is a completely different kind of test, one where passion has a funny way of trumping

logic.

So before you step up to the starting line, before the whistle blows and the clock starts

ticking, just remember out here the results don't always add up.

No matter what the stats may say and the experts may think and the commentators may have

predicted when the race is on all bets are wrong.

Don't be surprised if somebody decides to flip the script and take a pass on yelling

uncle.

And then suddenly as the old saying goes, we got ourselves a game.

Seven minutes past the hour, it is the rickian bubble show and we thank you for being a part

of it.

Our number 866 will be big.

We are here and fired up for another day to be with you.

Thank you so much for being a part of it.

Over to my left is Mr. Greg Barry just right in front of me.
