0:13.3	to the shutdown
0:15.0	to the shutdown full cast 40-40.
0:17.2	Whoa!
0:18.0	Why did he say 40 for 40 at the end of that?
0:20.4	What's happening? What are we doing? Oh my God. This is different. Why is this up on a Tuesday? Well, we went up on a Tuesday because this is 4440 season. If you'll remember, we profile and preview bowl games. 4440. This has been going on so long that the title itself has outlived the ESPN franchise
0:39.1	on which it was mockingly named after. Yeah, because it was originally 35 for 35, and then we had to
0:43.6	change the name because we used to do this on EDSBS. Yes. It's also gone on so long that there

1:49.0	veterans bowl.
1:50.0	That's not ISIS, right?
