| 0:00.0 | Hello everybody welcome into the cycle I am Ryan warmly joined as always by Mike Mayer we are |
| 0:07.0 | talking fantasy baseball I know this is a week of dynasty rookie drafts and football obviously you know the fallout from the NFL draft |
| 0:16.1 | Kentucky Derby is coming up so a lot of stuff going on but it is still the heart of fantasy |
| 0:21.0 | baseball season so we are still here to round the |
| 0:24.3 | bases with everybody talk about some macro level topics see what's been on our minds |

| 1:16.6 | revelation that he was going to have surgery due to an issue with his knee so this, I guess I |
