| 0:00.0 | The Minicime Show featuring Lenny is presented for the people by Cesar Sportsbook. |
| 0:04.5 | You bet you get with Cesar Rewards. Must be 21 or older. |
| 0:11.4 | Welcome back to the Minicime Show featuring Lenny. The only NFL podcast or one of the hosts |
| 0:17.5 | refuse it to go to Minicamp. This is not a toy dog. He weighs 20 pounds. That's Lenny and Minicimes. |
| 0:23.6 | I am joined by longtime friend of the program, the host of the athletic football show |
| 0:30.6 | Robert Mays. Welcome back to the podcast. Thank you for having me. I'm very excited to be back. |
| 0:34.9 | This is going to be fun. I'm really excited for this premise. |
| 0:40.3 | You know, this time of year, it can be a little bit of a slog sometimes. |
