| 0:04.8 | Package Together, for you to listen to on the weekend. So enjoy, and I'll see you back on the |
| 0:09.5 | radio Monday at 10 a.m. on WNYC and WNYC.org It's the Brian Lair show on WNYC. Good morning everyone. |
| 0:38.4 | We're going to pick up today right where we left off yesterday on what happens now for you or |
