Happy Monday afternoon. I'm your host, Chris Long. This is the Green Light POD.

0:03.7

And we're going to talk some baseball today. Randy Carraker from 101 ESPN in St. Louis is going

0:09.2

to join me. You know, there's a lot about baseball. One of my favorite media members.

0:13.2

And he's watched a lot of baseball. So I'm going to have him on. In fact, he had Mark McGuire

it comes to the environment. So my tree dashers are made of all natural materials like marina wool,

1:47.3

you could lip this fiber and sugar cane. And they look good. Really thrilled to welcome all

1:52.5

birds to the Green Light pod. Go check them out at allbirds.com. The tree dashers. Uh, I changed my
