0:00.0	Welcome to the First Cup podcast. I'm Rick Gaiman, and this is an emergency pod because Tiger Woods has spoken a 41-minute video conference with Golf Digest the first time he's spoken since the accident that he had in February.
0:17.1	Joining me to break it all down, see ya, Najad. See ya. Welcome. And I think this was some welcome
0:22.3	Monday content we got from the Big Cat. So when that accident occurred, it was, it was so
