0:00.0	And away we go, episode 414 of the Algali podcast, it is Wednesday, October 5th, 2022.
0:27.2	I hope that all of our Jewish brothers and sisters are having a safe and meaningful
0:31.2	yom kippur, perhaps the commanders should be fasting and detoning for all of their sins during
0:38.1	the team's wooden three-starred to the 2022 regular season. That would be quite the fast,
0:43.3	okay, and quite the atoning, all of the sins that the team must make up for.
0:48.4	Hello and welcome to this Wednesday installment of the Algali podcast. The commanders on this Wednesday
0:54.6	are beginning their practice week for this Sunday afternoon's game against the two and two

2:02.3	season for the team to now suggesting that the team still is rebuilding. Whether Ron's job is on
2:09.0	the line this season, a theory for why Ron's teams traditionally get off the slow starts in seasons,
