0:00.0	Hello everybody. My name is Coach Shane and welcome to Easy English Expressions.
0:11.1	Come on, let's master English.
0:14.5	Hello, everybody. Welcome back to Daily Easy English Expression, the podcast, number 1,131.
0:25.6	Got a great expression today.
0:27.0	It comes from baseball.
0:28.8	If you know about baseball, the idea is you got to hit the ball,

1:56.6	I made it to first base.
