0:00.0	Welcome to the Giants Talk podcast.
0:09.4	Here's Alex Pavlovich and Cole Kuiper.
0:13.0	I know those guys.
0:15.1	Hey, what's up, Giants fans?
0:17.2	Welcome to another episode of Giants Talk.
0:19.1	I'm Cole Kuiper here with Giants Insider,
0:21.6	Alex Pavlovich. We are fresh off of a less than ideal, but I guess could be worse.

1:37.2	spot is a tough pill to swallow. It is. And I think worse than that is, you know, the way they lost
1:43.2	Wednesday, obviously.
