| 0:12.5 | Hey, Dr. Loro, how's it going? |
| 0:14.5 | Good. What's up? |
| 0:16.5 | Nothing. I just heard a few dollars calling today and they're having issues with their children. |
| 0:23.3 | Boy, I wish when I was a child that, you know, my parents had given me cars and this and that. |
| 0:30.3 | I hope I am able to help my children out in certain aspects of life. |
