That's where I'm at today. My zombie of a co-host, Shannon the dude, is in Louisville, where it is the first day in 41 days that the temperature has gone below 70 degrees in the city of Louisville,

Kentucky. What's up, Shannon? How are you? And it's August 1st. We were here in August. Yeah,

well, how am I? I am very, very tired. I am fueled by coffee and Red Bull this morning. I did not

get in until after 1 a.m. because I went to that crazy Braves Regs game last night.

So I'm rolling in here maybe off three and a half hours of sleep, something like that.

But we'll persevere. We'll get through it. We will get through this. We will get through this together.

Okay. Thank you, Andy. I got to tell you, man, that was one of the wildest baseball games I have ever seen. I mean, that was almost like some little league stuff you would see.

Well, that's a quick turnaround, dude. You're getting home at 1 a.m. and all the radio shows that you do, you're getting up at the crack of dawn. So you must really be running on fumes this morning. So we commend the commitment. But you're right. It's only the third time in major league history that both teams scored eight or more runs in the same inning. That happens in the eighth inning, Shannon, and you didn't pull a Matt Jones here. You stayed for the entire game last night. I stayed to the – because I learned my lesson last time, you know. Every time I go to a Reds game, by the way, which is like once a year, something crazy happens. A couple years ago I went. Braves had a big lead. Reds came back and won it in the bottom of the ninth. Then I think the time after that was the L.A. Dela Cruz cycle. He hit for the cycle in that game. And then last night, Billy, you know, it was kind of a normal game going into the eighth inning.

It was tied up, 3-3.

I did.

I took my good buddy with me, a friend that I've known since the age of five, like the oldest friend that I've got all the way back to my childhood, lifelong friend.

He'd never been to a major league baseball at a game.

Oh, cool. Let's go to the Reds game. So what a game for him to go to, right? Yeah. The first ever major league baseball game and you get that. They're going into the 8th. All of a sudden, the bats just woke up for the Braves. They score eight runs in the top of the 8. there were a couple of errors made by the Reds.

I was talking a lot of smacked.

You're chirping, right?
