Chad and Nate wax poetic about Elly De La Cruz and his buddies Matt McLain and Christian Encarnacion-Strand, and DEMAND that the Reds bring these guys up to the big leagues! We also discussed the ups and downs of another interesting week as a Reds fan, with the club only 4.5 games out of first...and with the Cardinals in last place.

Plus, Chad gets a little emotional about fathers and sons and baseball...and replays his favorite interview in the history of the show.
