| 0:00.0 | Two roads diverged in a wood and I took the one less traveled by. |
| 0:06.5 | And that has made all the difference. |
| 0:09.1 | Robert Frost. |
| 0:10.8 | What's up guys? I'm Eddie Panero. |
| 0:12.7 | Welcome to your world within daily. |
| 0:32.9 | Okay. Happy Friday, even though I guess realistically not much separates Friday from Thursday, Wednesday, Tuesday or Monday. |
| 0:40.4 | Everything's kind of blending together. But listen, there's something special about a Friday. So let's enjoy it. |
