The Savage Night at the Opera, another Savage Night at the Clown.

It's face it old souls like us a green one to die, it's not a what till someone loses a knife.

Hello and welcome to episode 1406 of Effectively Wild, a baseball podcast from

band graphs presented by our Patreon supporters, I am Ben Linberg of the

Ringer and I am joined by Meg Rally of band graphs, hello Meg.

Hello.

Effectively wild turned seven years old.

I know I realized that I did not I did not wish you a happy birthday and a

anniversary.

Yeah, well, you're part of this now.

It's your birthday too retroactively.

So, which is I did not I don't know exactly how many episodes I picked up

listening to Effectively Wild and it was I was not a day one listener, but I was

a fairly early adopter and so it was very cool and strange to be

marking your anniversary with you on the program I now co-host with you.

Yeah, I pity anyone who was a day one listener because day one not so great.

Those are early days, but they're still there.

They're still on the internet.

I haven't deleted them, although part of me would like to, but there are people who

actually go back and listen to all of them from the start, which is very dedicated.

And I salute them.

We all need reps is the thing.
