0:00.0	Welcome to the Boc Talk podcast on NBC Sports Bay Area.com.
0:11.1	Introducing your host, NBC Sports Bay Area's Jessica Kleinschmidt.
0:16.3	Welcome back to another episode of Bof Talk presented by Wendy's.
0:19.7	Wendy's doesn't just have breakfast.
0:21.4	It has a breakfast worth talking about.
