| 0:00.0 | Welcome in friends. This is leading off. I am Chris Welsh and joining me today is the |
| 0:23.9 | wonkiest of the penguins. It's the wonki penguin on Twitter. Kelly Kirby making her debut. Kelly, how |
| 0:29.7 | are you? I am doing quite well. How are you? I apologize that like all the years that you've |
| 0:34.1 | been watching. There's Joe and there's Dan Harris at everybody. And then your first one, it's with |
| 0:39.2 | the Welsh, but I am very happy to be doing the first show with you. And oh, I don't know, maybe |
| 0:46.3 | the most ridiculous day of the entire baseball season for you to come on as far as news goes, |

| 1:50.6 | broadcaster ever was able to use silence so masterfully like he would call the, what happened. |
| 1:57.7 | And then he would just kind of let you be, let you listen to it. And he was just brilliant. So I, |
| 2:03.9 | I really appreciated him. Yeah, you know, I had a, I started to pose the question, |
| 2:08.3 | though, it's not really necessary, but it's like, you know, this was the baseball's version, |
| 2:14.5 | version of like John Madden and losing John Madden in football. And, you know, you could ask, |
