| 0:30.8 | Pardon the interruption, but I'm Mike Wilbon. It's National Inventors Day, Dawn. |
| 0:35.3 | You want to ever invent anything? I'm Tony Kornheiser. Just a couple little things. My resume, my college board scores, my family. Be careful. You don't want to have to ask you. Don't want to admit everything. I haven't. I've admitted some of the bigger ones, but I haven't admitted everything. Don't worry about it. Welcome to PTI, boys and girls. In today's episode, lousy teams meet in the NBA. |
| 0:57.3 | Rory has ideas for the PGA tour, and Steve Young joins us for five good minutes. |
| 1:01.7 | But we begin today with Victor Wembeyanama scoring 40 points in only 26 minutes last night in a 136108 romp over a depleted Lakers team. |

And neither was Shack. Fine. He went into the place where you put on a show. One of the two places, Madison Square Garden, L.A. |
| 2:18.9 | He went in there and said, have some of this over and over and over again. |
