| 0:02.8 | So when you started out with it was going to be a mouse update. |
| 0:06.5 | I was not expecting that it was going to be that good of an after show. |
| 0:10.4 | That's true. That's very true. |
| 0:12.4 | That was so much better than expected. |
| 0:16.8 | All right, let's do some pre-show. Hey, you know what? |
| 0:18.8 | It is still September, which means it is childhood cancer awareness month. |

| 1:14.4 | other disease. Doctors from all 50 states and around the world. Hello, non-Americans. Refer their |
