| 0:00.0 | Welcome in to Inside Carolina next level. It's been a while. Greg and I last talked, I guess, on IC Daily back in May, in May or early June. I can't remember, Greg. It's been a while. And of course, early June. Yeah. |
| 0:14.9 | When you go to Omaha and you spend 13 days in Omaha and then another night on the road or in the air trying to get back. |
| 0:23.1 | It's almost like the men in black thing. |
| 0:25.6 | It just sort of takes your memories away of everything. |
| 0:28.6 | But a fun trip nonetheless. |
| 0:30.3 | Greg, you've been hard at work on a variety of topics. |
| 0:35.4 | Most recently, and we're recording this on July 1st, so most recently the NIL subject column you had that came out today on Inside Carolina.
