| 0:00.0 | Thank you for listening to this edition of the Call of the Day. |
| 0:03.8 | Be sure to listen to my program Monday through Friday now heard on Sirius XM Triumph 2011. |
| 0:09.6 | Hi, Reen, welcome to the program. |
| 0:12.2 | Hi, Dr. Lawyer. How are you? |
| 0:15.2 | Good. What's up? |
