| 0:04.6 | with exciting roster guests. Until then, enjoy this special rewind episode with one of my favorite |
| 0:10.0 | moments from club, Shasha, so far. |
| 0:11.8 | Hey, you did it all. You missed the basketball, Mr. Football, and Newport. You're from Newport, |
| 0:30.3 | yeah, you from Newport. Newport, Newport, yeah. Michael Vick, Sweet P, Perna, Winners, all |
| 0:37.1 | y'all from down that area. Let me ask you this, had you not chosen basketball? Do you think you |
