0:00.0	This is an I-Heart podcast.
0:09.3	Hello, everybody.
0:10.2	Welcome into the cycle part two of the week.
0:12.6	I am Ryan warmly joined.
0:14.1	As you can see, not by, if you watch a YouTube at least,
0:16.5	not by Mike Mayer, but by Kelly Kirby filling in for all three sections this week as Mayor is out and about.
0:24.0	He is not here to try to goad me into taking more tequila shots on every single segment like he did last week,
