| 0:00.0 | This is an I-Heart podcast. |
| 0:02.5 | Guaranteed Human. |
| 0:09.8 | What's up, friends, and welcome into Fantasy Pro's MLB. |
| 0:13.0 | I am Chris Welsh, and today we're going to be talking about some waiver-wire pitchers. |
| 0:17.6 | Who is we? |
| 0:18.6 | It's me and Joe Rico. |
| 0:19.7 | That's right. |
