I erronously typed :
"I learned of Bedard's appearance early today from a friend in California who saw the broadcast at 3:20 am EST."
I meant to type 3:20 am PST rather than 3:20 am EST.
The program was live and Bedard's remarks came at 6:20 am EST which was 3:20 am PST for my friend who saw it in California ( he lives in Fresno).
