| 0:00.0 | And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. |
| 0:06.2 | So if you live in the United Kingdom and you have run across a pigeon that appears to |
| 0:15.3 | have a leg ring denoting their code and number on it, it's baffled and thrown off course. |
| 0:23.5 | Now they're asking for you to feed it, water it, let it rest, and then hopefully it'll |
| 0:30.2 | fly back home because there was a huge race this past weekend, and thousands of pigeons |

| 2:09.3 | So the CEO of the Royal Pigeon Racing Association, and who doesn't love the Royal Pigeon Racing |
| 2:18.1 | Association, finds the Bermuda Triangle-esque disappearance baffling, the weather conditions |
