| 0:00.0 | This is CBSI on the world. |
| 0:07.0 | Behind the Black, 15 years of Behind the Black, |
| 0:09.8 | your subscriptions, your donations, your generosity, most appreciated. |
| 0:14.8 | As Bob and I are very happy all these years to celebrate Bob's success, |
| 0:20.5 | but you make it possible. So I thank you, |
