It's Michelangelo. Happy Friday, everyone. But those are fighting words. It's time for one more thing.

0:07.6

Armstrong and Getty. One more thing.

0:17.6

All right. Been searching the A&G archives, and I found something really great.

0:23.5

Our own Jack Armstrong was involved in a bar fight.

0:26.0

I don't know if you remember this.

0:27.6
