| 0:00.0 | The following is a production of Sports Spectrum. |
| 0:04.0 | My freshman year of college, there was a month where both my grandmothers passed away. |
| 0:09.0 | I'm in Michigan, I'm from Texas. |
| 0:11.0 | I had just had my right shoulder, surgically repaired, was lonely, was isolated, |
