| 0:12.8 | your welcome. I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving with your families. I know I did. |
| 0:18.0 | Coming up on today's program, I'm going to tell you why I feel terrible for Leon Edwards. |
| 0:23.4 | Plus, Robert Whitaker has some bad teeth I got to talk about. |
| 0:28.8 | And I'm going to discuss John Jones and Tom Aspinall. |
