| 0:04.8 | Lauren Khalil, and Brian Friend here with you on a day that, man, that, to quote Ron Burgundy, |
| 0:09.7 | that escalated quickly. |
| 0:13.1 | I saw a guy with the Trident and Lauren had a hand grenade. |
| 0:17.0 | We thought that we're going to have a nice, easy, sort of relaxing day today and then |
