This is the Bronx Pinstripe Show with your host, Andrew Rotandi and Scott Rhinan.

What's up everybody?

Welcome to the Bronx Pinsripe Show.

We've got half a Scott here, and we've got logan ilia's also out he he he's got a neck problem rough week for the bronx pinstripe show crew

not not the best uh not the best shape of my life not the best shape of my life i'll tell you that

it's it's been uh it's been a little brutal. Yeah,

plain hurt got nailed with a stomach bug last night. So we're going to try to get through this

without my guts getting all over the place. It'll be nice. It'll be great. Last week we were joking
