0:00.0	Hi guys.
0:03.0	When I'm walking down Main Street with my heart round your side.
0:24.0	Hi guys, thanks for tuning in to the Not the Top 20 podcast Monday Pod.
0:29.9	It's me, Ali Maxwell, and with me, George Ellick, and as regular listeners to the pod, long-time listeners, or even one-time listeners or no, we focus on all things EFL, easier said than done at the moment with games having been suspended.
0:45.8	With the leagues having been suspended, it's a new story that I'm sure you'll all be across.
0:51.8	First and foremost, George, how are you? How are you getting on? Because
0:55.3	this is an unprecedented scenes in terms of life and career and personal level to some extent as
1:02.7	well. How are you? I'm okay considering. I mean, I think being a kind of recently

2:17.2	there are also times where I'm feeling a bit
2:19.4	down and just a little bit concerned so I'm sure there'll be lots of people listening who probably
