0:00.0	This is an I-Heart podcast.
0:05.5	The volume.
0:10.7	Looking at this cowboy thing we were talking about on the show.
0:19.3	So John Middilkoff is going to be on FS1 all week.
0:23.6	And one of the rants I did today was about Mike McCarthy.
0:30.1	I think the cowboys are going to shit the bad week one.
0:33.9	I think it's going to be a disastrous season.
