| 0:18.0 | That he would, if he was knowingly knowing that I had taken HGH, we were talked about the subject. |
| 0:25.0 | This is T-B-T-L on NewsTalk 710, Cairo. It's just a little after 8 o'clock on Friday night. |
| 0:33.0 | I hope you're having a good time out there, wherever you are. |
| 0:38.0 | And we, of course, are very relieved that the writer's strike is over here at T-B-T-L because... |
| 0:46.0 | We love us the television programs and the late-night talk shows and they were, you know, not going anywhere. |
