| 0:24.5 | What do, y'all? Welcome to Locked-on Bucks, part of the Locked-on Podcast Network, |
| 0:28.8 | the number one sports podcast network, your team every day. I'm Camille Davis, and on today's |
| 0:35.0 | show, what else are we going to talk about? It's a bonus |
| 0:37.5 | episode of the pod, and we're going to talk about Taylor Jenkins. Who is Taylor Jenkins? And what |
| 0:43.2 | his hire reportedly might mean for Janus. And listen, the Bucks move fast, don't they? Because |
