| 0:00.0 | Hey there, fans of The Nerve and Maureen Callahan, it's Mark Kalpern, host of Next Up, also here on the Megan Kelly Network. |
| 0:06.4 | I recently had the pleasure to sit down with Maureen. |
| 0:10.3 | I want you to enjoy that discussion, and while you're at it, subscribe to NextUp wherever you get your podcasts. |
| 0:18.8 | Welcome into Next Up, you Nexters from North America around the world. |
| 0:22.3 | I'm Mark Kalprin, editor-in chief of the live interactive platform Two-Way and the host here of everything next up. |
| 0:29.0 | Another week, it's Tuesday, and you know what that means, a brand new episode. |
| 0:32.9 | We're happy to have you here. |
