0:00.0	What's up everybody?
0:10.7	Welcome into the next Pat's podcast.
0:12.1	I'm Phil Perry.
0:12.7	We've got a great episode lined up for you today because we're talking to Field Yates of ESPN.
0:17.8	He's got all kinds of draft intel that he's going to be able to share with us.
0:21.2	He was all over the draft for ESPN, for ABC, podcasting all the time with the legend
