| 0:28.3 | say that up front. I don't know what the conditions will be like here in Middle Tennessee, |
| 0:32.7 | but we're preparing for anything right now. And boy, what a crazy week it's been. Hasn't this been wild? |
| 0:38.5 | We've got this winter storm here, but we've had this flurry of content coming from the Blake lively, Justin Baldoni world. We're going to get into this first thing, first half of the show.
