0:00.0	Hey guys, welcome to the Bill Barnwell show.
0:09.4	I am Bill Barnwell.
0:11.0	And yes, if this sounds different than the introduction to the last six or seven shows,
0:15.7	that is not your ears deceiving you.
0:19.8	I'm not sure I remember exactly how to introduce a podcast, but I'm going to try my best. I am back off of leave. I was off taking care of our new child Graham for the last couple months.

1:31.3	One of my favorite guests, one of the best people at ESPN is my colleague and friend, Seth,
