| 0:03.3 | As an Expedia member, you can save up to 30% when you add a hotel to your flight, |
| 0:07.9 | so you can go out there with great ambition to do absolutely nothing, |

| 0:15.6 | Welcome back to the Dershow Princeton University just did something that hasn't happened for |
| 0:22.6 | many years at a major university. They fired a tenured professor. The tenured professor was fired. |
| 0:29.6 | They claim because of an improper sexual relationship many many many years earlier for which he had |
