| 0:00.0 | Well, isn't it TVTL? I go crazy! I just love TVTL! |
| 0:12.6 | I've often said that the band's survivor is the best that ever was. |
| 0:16.8 | In my opinion, they put rock music to bed. Everyone else is an imitator. |
| 0:22.0 | That's right, you heard me. Beatles, Rolling Stones, Bach, Beethoven. You guys suck. |
| 0:28.4 | Well, unfortunately, Survivor won't return my calls. I get it. They're survivor, and I'm not. |
| 0:37.6 | But what you do have going for you is an obvious sense of refined taste when it comes to the |
| 0:47.9 | radio and podcast programming that you consume because here you are listening to a show |
