| 0:05.4 | I mean, think about all the things you're paying for daily, monthly yearly. |
| 0:08.8 | Well, here's something that won't add to that list, the free iHeartRadio app, podcasts, streaming music, digital radio. |
| 0:15.8 | All free, it's the future of audio and unlike almost everything else in your life right now, |
| 0:20.4 | except maybe air, it doesn't cost a dollar. |

| 1:32.8 | scam business is very interesting. And you know, at least by putting him on space, I'm sure he's |
| 1:38.7 | claimed at some point he's an astronaut. So in some weird way, but I got the feeling this guy's |
| 1:46.4 | time is pretty short lived in Congress. I think he's just waiting to cut a deal to avoid |
