| 0:15.6 | Every Friday, not every Friday, but almost every Friday on this, on this program. |
| 0:20.5 | If Albin is not getting dialysis, we will do a Fun Facts Friday segment. |
| 0:26.5 | And Albin, yes, here you are. |
| 0:29.9 | I know, that thing about the dialysis, it's Fun Facts Friday. |
| 0:33.5 | And you mentioned that and people are like, aw. |
| 0:37.3 | Well, I, yeah, I, you mean you're not, you don't get dialysis? No, no, I'm, I'm, I'm in pretty good shape. You're in pretty good health? Yes, I am. So then I lied. No, well. So then that was a non-true fact. Well, you miss. You see, I'm trying to get people. Yes. pay attention because they don't know. Get it ready. Are we telling true facts or non-true facts?

| 1:50.0 | I am glad you reminded me of that because I am so excited about the Thanksgiving facts |
