| 0:00.0 | Hi, it's Mike. It's Saturday. It's the Saturday show. You know how we do a one from the vault, one from the week theme. And when we say one for the week, one of the best from the week. And here I bring you one of the best things I did this week, but it wasn't on the gist. Isn't it a shame when that happens?
