0:00.0	Today's amazing episode. I'm excited about this one. The Rhymer Solo podcast and the
0:15.0	Ringer podcast network is brought to you by State Farm just like sports. The game of life
0:18.5	is unpredictable. Talk to a State Farm agent and get a teammate who can help you navigate
0:24.3	the unexpected. The unexpected was I thought we were all good to go for Orlando and then we
0:31.0	weren't. I think we're good but that's where this week's open is going to land on. Get a
0:35.1	teammate who can help you navigate the unexpected. Talk to a State Farm agent today. We will also

1:33.5	to happen and Adam Silver's been I think terrific with his tone and the way that he has addressed
1:37.8	all of the things that are going on with still having an emphasis and wanting basketball to come back.
1:42.9	But last week the Kyrie Irving story started up where it's like wait a minute where is his head
1:48.0	at and what are his motives and what's going on now Kyrie organized a call with a bunch of
1:51.9	different players and they're like hey we're not sure if we want to come back right now and again
