Before we start this week's show, I just want to let you guys know that this show is rated PG-13.

0:07.0

So our show is always rated PG-13. I just haven't taken full advantage of that yet.

0:12.1

So just like movies like The Avengers, Harry Potter,

0:17.5

Indiana Jones in the Temple of Doom,

0:19.0
