I said welcome to, welcome to, welcome to, the dirty sports park cast, with Andy

Ruth, the angel brainer, welcome to, welcome to, the dirty sports park cast. Welcome to the dirty sports

podcast. I am your host, Andy Ruther, come into you live from Cincinnati, Ohio with my co-host

from Southern California, Joey, no joke right now. Hello, Andy. Good morning. Good morning.

How goes it today on this fine Thursday morning slash afternoon? It's great. I, uh, I've got a gigantic cup of coffee next to me.

I had texted you last night. You had said, let's go, uh, let's, what time do I do this? And I said, let's go early afternoon.
