0:17.2	Welcome in. This is the lines 24-7 podcast. I'm Tyler Donahue joined as always by Sean Fitz our second edition of this first week of May happy to be with you we've got a lot to get to first off we're going to get to
0:23.7	first off we're going to get to a breaking news report
0:26.3	from Steve Wiltfong who always seems to have them
0:29.2	for us on 24-7 sports
0:31.2	Sean some light shed on the Tommy-Steven situation. We've kind of been in a
0:36.0	waiting pattern here since it was revealed he's leaving Penn State in terms of
