0:00.0	And away we go, episode 358 of the Algaldi podcast, it is Monday, July 18th, 2022.
0:27.9	It is the start of a vacation week for me. Now, if you are a long time listener of this podcast,
0:37.9	yes, the long, glorious history of this podcast, which dates all the way back to February 2021,
0:45.4	you perhaps know what vacation week means for this podcast. Vacation week does not mean that I
0:52.6	take off the entire week. Oh, no, no, no, no, that's not allowed on this podcast. Vacation week
0:58.0	means that I take off a few days during the week. The plan is to take off two days this week. So
1:05.7	the plan is for three shows this week, instead of the usual five, the three shows for this week,
1:13.7	this show, this show from Monday, and then shows for Thursday and Friday. So the plan is no
1:21.2	shows for Tuesday and Wednesday. This is the week of the Major League Baseball All-Star Break.
1:29.2	This is one of the slowest weeks of the year in sports, maybe in fact the slowest week of the

2:04.0	goes down this week and I happen to not be doing a show for the following day, well, then that will
2:10.6	change. So if the commanders on Monday make a trade with the Kansas City Chiefs for quarterback
2:17.4	Patrick Mahomes, I'll do a show for the following day. If the nationals on Tuesday say, I don't
2:24.0	know, trade right field or one sodo, I'll do a show for the following day. And yeah, unfortunately,
2:32.0	we now, in fact, are on Nat's one sodo trade watch. I don't know that we're on Commander's Chiefs
2:39.5	Patrick Mahomes trade watch. I wish that we were, but I don't think that we are, but we are now on
2:45.2	Nat's one sodo trade watch. We have a lot to talk about on this expensive Monday installment
2:52.6	of the Algoldee podcast. This is a deluxe edition of the Algoldee podcast that among the many
