I too had the sound muted, and then turned it up during the "conference." Joe Buck was declaring that Welke had gotten it right the first time, that it was not a home run, and that he hoped the ruling would stand. When it did, he simply said that they got it right.
I suspect that the meeting went something like this:
Tim Welke: "All right, here's what I saw. The fly ball hit the fielder's glove, then the top of the wall, and bounced into the field of play."
Jim Joyce: "And what's your ruling?"
TW: "Live ball, play on, of course. Anybody see anything different, or want to dispute the ruling?"
[silence]
TW: "OK, well, let's stand here for another 3 minutes to convince everyone that we've taken this matter seriously."
