| 0:36.2 | What's up, Caps fans? It is time for another edition of the Capitol's talk podcast. I'm Rob Carlin with Brian McNally, who has no headphones. So the jury's out, whether or not he can even hear me right now. J.J. Regan is sitting very close to McNally. Uncomfortably close to McNally right now.
