0:00.0	Coming up, Cousin Salonai or hooked up to IVs trying to replenish our body fluids after six.
0:06.8	I repeat six playoff games. Good God. It's all next. We're also brought to you by the
0:11.4	ringer.com as well as the ringer podcast network where I hope you're listening to all of our
0:17.2	awesome podcasts. And we have a new one coming later this month that I'm excited to tell you
0:23.2	about next week. Hold on to your seats for that one. Coming up, the Cousin first, Pearl Jam.
0:39.2	All right. Tafen this at 8.50 on Sunday night with Scythic Time. Salonai just plowed through six
0:57.0	NFL playoff games. Here's my big takeaway. So I can't go back. Next week, we only have four.
