| 0:46.2 | Mandele, joined, as always by Bruce Feldman for this special late, late-night edition of The Audible. |
| 0:52.2 | This is your favorite podcast of the year as it's due. It's my second favorite to the one after the national championship game. I was remembering last year we were at the Rose Bowl, so we were on Pacific Time, so it wasn't quite so bad. It wasn't, what is it, three in the morning right now? It's 3.15 in the morning.
