| 0:00.0 | What's up everybody, man. |
| 0:01.7 | Sorry, my voice is a little hoarse. I've been yelling at the kids all day, scoring goals and running the ball up and down the field. So it's been a busy, busy, hectic day and freezing, rainy weather here in North Texas, man. But I thought it was a good card. You know, I'm not going to do the whole card. I'm going to talk to the main card tomorrow morning, 8.30 a.m. Central time, 9.30 a.m. Eastern time. Big Angie and I will break down the whole card for you guys. Obviously, let's just talk about, you know, the narrative here.
