| 0:00.0 | Mayo, you know that I'm always down to talk baseball on this podcast, and you've actually |
| 0:04.3 | added something baseball related to the show notes. |
| 0:07.0 | Oh, no, I've set you off. |
| 0:08.3 | But, no, but honestly, if there's ever a week where I didn't want to talk baseball, it's |
