| 0:00.0 | Hey guys, welcome to the Fieldcast, where I'll podcast. I am your frigidly cold host, Kevin |
| 0:17.6 | Estella. I was just out scouting a property in 35 to 45 degree weather for the past hour |
| 0:24.8 | and a half and I am frigid cold. Guys, with me today is a good buddy of mine, someone who you've |
| 0:32.1 | probably seen on the podcast with Kevin Owens and probably another podcast because this is the second |
| 0:37.5 | one for you today, right? Thanks so much. So, and I'm going to screw up the pronunciation. I'm going |
| 0:42.0 | to do my best to give this Irish name the best pronunciation, but Doc, Macolvane. |
| 0:48.2 | Very, very good. Ocean Macolvane. Ocean Macolvane. Yeah, very good. Macolvane. |

| 1:54.7 | bit of a background on you. Why we're bringing you in as our medical expert. I mean, you are one of |
| 2:01.5 | our resident jokers here. You have some of the best storytelling ability I know of. But what is your |
