| 0:02.0 | So, uh, there's a story. |
| 0:05.0 | I don't know how many of you know this. I didn't know this until recently. |
| 0:08.0 | You start digging into radio stations and all of that. You know, up a radio station was when you got into the car |
| 0:16.9 | and you twisted the dial one way or another till you could get a station to come in clear. |
