0:00.0	One sixth is the word of the day. It is May 1st, 2023. It's a Monday and I need to take
0:23.9	it down and notch. Welcome to nothing personal. I'm all worked up. Normally,
0:28.8	Mondays are looking for the energy, getting back into the week after this past weekend.
0:34.8	How can you not be excited to be a fan of sports? You just sit around and you're watching
0:42.1	baseball finishes first month and that's not even the lead. It should be the lead on a
0:47.1	predominantly baseball podcast, but that's not what we are here. We'll cover everything.
