| 0:08.8 | Hello, hello, it's Will Sloan over here. |
| 0:11.5 | Whoa, Will Sloan or Clive Owen, I can't tell the difference. |
| 0:14.7 | You might be wondering why I'm talking in this cockney accent, mate. |
| 0:18.8 | And today, we're going to be talking about Mike Lee, a contest-winning decision by our loyal |
| 0:26.4 | listener, Angie. |
| 0:27.6 | Thank you. |
