| 0:00.0 | Hi, John. It's Rob Lowe. How are you? I'm good. How are you? This is a dream come true. That's how it is for me. |
| 0:20.5 | Welcome to literally everybody. Oh boy. |
| 0:24.0 | John Fogarty, Creedence Clearwater Revival, great solo artist, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, |
| 0:31.8 | Songwriter Hall of Fame, you know, I don't even know where to begin. I'm such a fan of his, of his music. |
| 0:40.3 | I think maybe the greatest American rock band. I think about it out there as you guys are listening. |
| 0:49.4 | I mean, there's the stones and the Beatles, the British, but American rock band. Who else is it going to be? |
| 0:57.8 | I mean, is it, you know, it's not Arrow Smith and I love Bruce Springsteen, the history band as much as the next one. |
| 1:03.9 | I don't think it's them. I think it's CCR. I really do. And this has just been a dream come true. |
| 1:12.6 | I just, this is fanboy central. I'm warning you, there's a lot of fanboy about to happen. Let's get at it. |

| 2:43.2 | You know, if I'm not here next year, it'd be a shame if I blew all my time on something I didn't want to do. |
| 2:51.0 | Yes. I'd rather be with my family, be with my kids, which has always been the driver. |
