| 0:00.0 | 99. That's the nothing personal word of the day. It's the nothing personal number of the |
| 0:13.0 | day. 99 is Wayne Gretzky's number. Wayne Gretzky was in the news this weekend. Somehow |
| 0:19.5 | saying, I think the NHL will be playing this summer. It wasn't based on anything other |
| 0:24.6 | than desire, hope, prayer. I actually hope it does happen. I want to see sports back safely. |
| 0:33.5 | Wayne Gretzky, the goat, right? Is there any is there any question that when you're thinking |
| 0:39.2 | about some of the greatest players in each sport? We go hockey. It's Gretzky. People say |
