Hey, I'm Liz Loza and this is facts versus feelings. You're a moose boost to your fantasy focus main course.

0:06.5

We're bringing more fantasy, more facts, more feelings, and of course more fun. And now that I have your attention,

0:13.6

today's fact is that you can set expectations all you want, but you can't control the outcome.

0:23.5

Ah, look who does that? you want, but you can't control the outcome. Look who decided to come back to the show.
