| 0:00.0 | Joining me on the line is my friend Tom McDonald. |
| 0:02.0 | You remember him from such hits as facts by Tom McDonald with me in cameo. |
| 0:07.5 | But the reason we're having Tom on right now is because he's doing something awesome this Memorial Day weekend. |
| 0:12.3 | He's raising money for veterans. |
