0:09.7	there are some charts. You can discover all your new podcast coming up. I'm going to talk about
0:13.8	Lakers nuggets at the top and then our old old old friends, Dizison Merrow, who just continue to
0:21.0	get more and more famous. I have a nice seat on their bandwagon and kind of like fifth row.
0:25.8	But we talked about a whole bunch of things and then Jeff Daniels, who I had never had on before
