| 0:07.3 | Yada's as we waited for Survivor to return. And finally, about three weeks from tonight |
| 0:16.1 | Survivor 45 will hit the airwaves and the digital media. And with me to talk about a brand |
| 0:22.8 | new Survivor season and 18 new friends. Here is, of course, of parade.com and many podcasts. |
| 0:32.5 | Give it up for Mike Bloom. 45 is alive. And now I have to make you all short circuit with |
| 0:39.8 | all the coverage we've got going on in the next few weeks. Really short circuit reference. |
| 0:44.4 | Wow. Listen, everything old is new again. I won't ask who's the Steve Gutenberg and who's |
