Buck the Rates and Burials. It's Tuesday, August 5th. Derek Van Riper here today,

Eno Seris, but due back on Wednesday. This is a special episode of Rates and Burles because it's actually an under-the-radar reunion. Nando Dufino, Ian Khan and I recorded an episode together Monday afternoon for the first time since 2022. And a lot has changed for all three of us in that nearly three year long absence. But I think

I speak for all of us when I say that potting together was a lot like riding a bike. For the long

time listeners who've missed under the radar over these last two and a half seasons, we hope

you enjoy a little trip down memory lane. And for those who are hearing the three of us talk

baseball together for the first time, we hope you can enjoy the next hour as much as we enjoyed recording it.

Hello, everybody, and welcome to the greatest surprise in your podcast feeds since something.

I don't know.

Welcome back to Under the Radar with me.

Once again, your friend of mine, Ian Kha.

Hello, my friends.

My friend and yours, da-b-b-b-b-ba.

What's up, everybody?

We're here to, well, basically, it's funny.

I was talking to DVR where we were waiting for Ian to show up. What do we do it? Like, DVR just shot a text. He's like, you guys want to do it under the radar? I'm like, yeah, man. But I'm like, oh, there must be some kind of charity aspect to it. He's like, no, Ian's, you know, is out of town and doesn't have his microphone. There we go.

Hey, whatever it takes.

So here's the rundown for the show. We're going to spend the first two and a half hours catching up on the last three years, live. And then we'll get into some baseball stuff. But how's everyone doing? Diver, how you doing, man? I'm doing great. I just noticed that the last rundown on the document is actually from February 17th of this year because we tried to do one during draft season. That's right. A combination of like illnesses and busy schedules snowballed and then it was August. That's what happened. So we could do that run down. I thought we were going to do it again like the next day and Ian's like, no, then he disappeared. He. He's been, he's been dodging me about these six

bottles that he still needs to pick up. I don't even want the money, man. I just want you to take the bottles. I want the rhubarb. I need the rhubarb. I'm waiting for the rhubarb. We just have to get together and then I'm going to take the rhubarb. I'm going to pay for the rhubarb. I don't want your money.

I want your friendship.

I want the darn rhubarb.

I would very much like the rhubarb.

And you know what the funny part is?
