0:13.2	Welcome back to the Minicime Show featuring Lenny. It is Tuesday, about 130 Eastern.
0:21.7	Dominic Foxworth joins me as always. We're not going to talk about money in football, obviously,
0:27.4	or what happened at football this weekend. Before last night, we're just going to talk about
0:32.3	last night, Dominic. How are you? I'm good. I mean, it's a uncomfortable situation, obviously.
