Welcome back, everybody, finally, to the CEC podcast.

It is the morning of Friday, July 14th.

Mike Rutherford's here in Louisville, Kentucky.

Dan Sinar is up in Columbus, Ohio.

Dan, been a while.

I know we've seen each other.

We've talked, but first time we've been able to

pod for, I mean, I guess a little less than a month, but it feels good to be back. It does.

We're definitely in the, from a college athletics standpoint. We've hit that summer lull where,

you know, this is about the point where uh you know we start guessing about

training camp um you know which SEC coaches are going to talk shit about the other so we're about to

hit that point and then we'll be ready to roll here but um i'm sure we'll talk about it reds are in

first place.

By it could not be higher.

It's the summer of Dan.

But no, we are, we're doing good up here and good old C-Bus.

We're going to try our best to not make this like an hour and a half for Red's-only podcast.

It'll be two hours. There's no promises whatsoever. try our best to not make this like an hour and a half for Red's only podcast, but there's,

it'll be two hours.

There's no promises whatsoever. I mean, we've, since last, the last pod we've done, I went on vacation. We have this thing, and I kind of forgotten about it where the Reds just don't

lose when I'm on vacation. That's true. It's unbelievable. and that's when the 12-game win streak really kicked into high gear.

Of course, right when I get home, we have Scott Satterfield throwing out the first pitch before a game at Grand American Ballpark and promptly snaps the streak.
