| 0:00.0 | Welcome in to the DNVR Avalanche podcast live from the Toyota Lounge, |
| 0:06.0 | powered by your front range Toyota dealers and presented by Bet365. |
| 0:10.3 | Bailey and Rudo coming to you on a Colorado Avalanche off day. |
| 0:14.4 | The last off day before Christmas break as they do play tomorrow, |
| 0:18.2 | and then they'll hit the holidays. |
