Sing just walk right in!

Cause you're a brand new kind of actress

You're a brand new kind of actress

You're the same old star

You're a brand new kind of actress

Hello and welcome to episode 1392 of effectively wild a baseball podcast from fan graphs presented by our patreon supporters

I am Ben Lemberg of the ringer. I am not joined by either Sim or make makes on vacation

Sim is somewhere in the wilderness camping. I hope he's okay

But I am delighted to be joined by today's guest co-host Ellen Adair who is an actress and a poet and a Philly's fan

Not necessarily in that order Ellen welcome to Fectally Wilde

Thank you so much. It is such a pleasure to be here. I'm a very poor replacement

for Sam or Meg

But I am really thrilled. So this is to me

It sort of feels like the result of a make-a-wish foundation for grown adults for me to get to be on this podcast with you

So hopefully I'll try to make up for in gratitude what I lack in knowledge and

Sense of humor. Well, I'm happy to have you here too

I've been wanting to do this for a while

But I had to wait for one of my co-hosts or both of my co-hosts to skip town to give us an opportunity

So here we are and I'm sorry it had to be at the low point thus far of the Philly season

Oh man

We can talk about that in just a moment

I'm sure you have much to say about how things have been going for the Philly's lately
