| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Allocation Disorder, America's foremost labor relations podcast, brought to you this week by Dogecoin. |
| 0:26.9 | That's right, folks. |
| 0:28.0 | Dogecoin, hold the line. |
| 0:29.9 | I am Sam's Day School, joined as always by Paul Tenorio, and we have CBA talks to talk about. |
