0:15.1

Previously on the Tony Cornheiser show. I have a two o'clock tea time. and you know, you always look to see what the weather is going

0:23.4

to be, and that's, you know, there's a little bit, there's a 15% chance of rain.

0:27.7

And the optimists would say, well, there's an 85% chance that there will be no rain,
