How you doing? Happy Thursday. Thanks for having me, Jeff. I'm excited to join you again. It's been about a year since I joined you last. So almost to the date. I know. That's right.

I do not have them in leagues this year because I was that guy that was saying, oh, he's going to you soon. He's going too soon. Hey, turns out he wasn't going too soon. He was running in the minors.
