0:00.0	I have no opener.
0:09.2	Welcome in to the BNVR Avalanche podcast live from the Toyota Lounge, powered by your front
0:15.7	range of Toyota dealerships and presented by Bet365.
0:20.3	We've got Bailey, we've got AJ.
0:21.7	We've got Rudo coming to you alive on an avalanche off day.
0:26.1	We're going to have the generational talent debate.
0:29.8	I don't know if this is more semantics than anything else.
0:32.7	But we talked about it briefly on a show the other day.

1:49.6	to start to have that conversation be like, you know, this is, yes, I don't know.
1:57.8	Okay. I think I disagree in that he's got that, like, veteran-y trust that every head coach
2:08.3	just like loves.
2:09.8	Okay.
