| 0:00.0 | Hi, everybody. It's another edition of Monster Monday with Monster Michael Todd and Rebecca Todd, |
| 0:05.6 | Sean Woodland and Tommy Marquez here with you. And we are joined by a one-armed Monster Michael Todd, |
| 0:12.7 | fresh out of surgery. So let's start there, because I think that's the big news. You got that |
| 0:16.7 | canon all wrapped up. How did the procedure go? And what is the prognosis now moving |
| 0:23.3 | forward? Well, we had, we got, okay, so Wednesday, we decided to leave out Wednesday. |
| 0:32.7 | We found out that we was going to be able to have surgery on Friday at noon. The doctor wanted |
| 0:36.6 | me in his office Thursday at noon. So we took off Wednesday under tornado warnings. Like the sirens are going off and everything. But I was afraid if we didn't get out, you know, I didn't know what would happen. I was like, I'm getting to surgery. So we're like running parallel with this storm, you know. And then we finally get through it. You drive up to like Tupelo the next day, |

| 1:39.0 | And would you have six weeks after this date of the circuit? |
| 1:43.3 | How many medals will be on the line? |

| 1:47.8 | I thought that was one of those. |
