Oh boy, welcome everybody to the first ever.

The second iteration first ever will explain it but the first ever episode of the

but we've been here before we've had this same conversation before what do

you mean this conversation about who we are and whatnot well we hadn't changed

yes Bob Ryan and we got to go to the all-star game yeah sit almost course
