Thank you. been happy new year. Welcome back to is this like the fifth year of this show I

completely lost track I cannot believe it it's a happy new year I want to thank everyone

for supporting us for all these years and listening and I was thinking about this on New Year's day because Cody we were feeling we were feeling chippy. We were feeling excited.

The New Year was in, the basketball season

is rock and roll and we had a show lined up

for New Year's day and Cody was down for the count

and I sat right here and I looked right at this camera and I said

I'm going to record a solo podcast like it's 2019 yeah but I never did it no I

never did it I thought how can anyone record a solo but what

Cody wouldn't be there enough to explain to the people why Cody wouldn't be

there to get all these messages about how you miss Cody and we'll just we'll do it

together some other time. Yeah I feel like there's going to be a contingency of like hardcore people

That would be like oh wow I missed the good old days Ben we need to bring the solo pod back. I just need an hour of your voice talking through some numbers.

That's too much, it's too much.

But thank you for everyone.

Thank you to everyone who's been here for years

and for the journey. Thanks to all the recent recent people and if you're a new

listener and you haven't gotten sick of us yet I mean that's the best that's the best place to be

Cody you not speaking of sick I mean you've been down for the count in the in the frigid Midwestern air there

But you you had a little bit of a run-in I'm still I'm still buzzing off the high of our top 25 under 25 where we put out three

different lists to totally confuse everyone and at the end of that you teased us it

was like a to be continued it was like back to the future two
