I'm I'm Derek Bagner, joined once again by a guy who needs no ramping up period.

How you doing, Kyle? I was about to say, I believe there must be the largest ramp in the history of ramps is somewhere in Philadelphia.

Or maybe not in Philadelphia. It might actually be in Camden, but James Hardin is on it at some, someplace before the end, but after the beginning. I don't know where on the ramp he's at. It's a little bit like a roller coaster. And I grew up in the Allentown area, so I'll go with, you know, Steel Force and Dorney Park where he ramped up. He went up. And then he went down and now he's ramping back up again.

And maybe this is a slower or a shorter ramp.

Who knows?

There's been some reporting that maybe he could join them for the home opener.

But James Hardin was in Camden today.

He did rejoin the team.

They didn't really have much of a practice.

It was mostly a walkthrough to get ready for the home or the opener tomorrow night.

He's not going to join them on their two-game road trip.

We'll see after that.

He is with the team.

Kyle are the basketball team that we cover is finally normal, right?

It's never normal, man. I i mean so some vh one behind the music over here derrick texted me this morning he had a personal obligation

that he was hoping to have to deal with and he's like i probably won't make it to practice

and then i get a text from derrick what like like an hour later, two hour and a half later.

After the report came out, he joined him.

I won't repeat what he actually said, but it was essentially, God damn it.

And then I see Derek trudge into the practice facility around the same time as I did 1145 this morning.

It was like head down, just shoulders slumped,

and I can't believe these assholes are doing this to us again.
