0:00.0	What is up super name friendos welcome to Nintendo voice chat episode 583 I am your host Seth
0:08.4	Macy in this week. I'm excited making her Bay Area debut. Bay debut Rebecca Valentine.
0:14.9	Hi Seth from San Francisco at last and a little cross pollination from destructoid we have
0:21.2	one of the best names in gaming Eric Van Allen. Hello, hello, hello. And of course it wouldn't
0:28.0	be NBC if we didn't have industry legend cat Bailey here with us today.
0:32.2	Cat Bailey welcoming Rev to San Francisco God's own time zone. Hi Rev. Hi, I brought a
