| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the show. |
| 0:07.0 | Several weeks ago, I did a story about math, multiplying decimals. |
| 0:15.0 | The story was called, is something very wrong with the country. |
| 0:19.0 | And surprisingly, to a degree, a story about basic math, got almost a million views and generated |
| 0:26.5 | hundreds of emails from folks all across the country saying, I teach middle school, I teach |
