Seeing. Take over team headquarters. Speaker 1
What do you mean there's no skit? Speaker 2
I don't know. I didn't get around to it. Speaker 0
You write the skit. We perform the skit. We do it every takeover. Everybody expects it. I know I've explained running bits to you before. Do you even have a limerick? Speaker 2
How about Speaker 3
a Mac? Speaker 4
Trace, how about you try to make one up real quick? Just first thing that comes to your head. You can write lyrics in your sleep now. Just take a deep breath. Close your eyes and let the magic flow. Speaker 2
Okay. Speaker 1
No. It's just Speaker 5
so dumb. Speaker 1
Alright. Okay. Go ahead. Take one. Speaker 2
Looks like it's one of those nights where I ain't getting anything right. I haven't wrote shit. Not even a skit. Except this limerick, I made it up on-site. Speaker 1
That was technically a limerick. Speaker 4
Wasn't your worst one, Trace? Yeah. Speaker 0
Damn sure wouldn't it best one? Speaker 6
Saddle down. Speaker 1

It's thirsty cooking's Day. And you've just pulled up to the produce and, don't come up the laneway. A podcast dedicated to everything in the universe. Now I know what you're thinking. There are plenty of other letter Kenny podcasts out there, but this is the only one with its own official fantasy football league. Speaker 5
Hell, yeah. Fuck you. Speaker 1

Not So bad. Speaker 4
Okay. Y'all are gonna regret having me go first because, brain cells are just gone. I Speaker 1
No regrets, keys. Speaker 4
Still, yeah, no regrets, keys. I am in throws at the beginning of the school year, and so I have to mold my lovelies into a perfect little group of, friends that are working in a nice community together and they're they're wonderful human beings. Just a lot of patience and love, which brings me to my story today, and this will literally explain everything for the rest of it. I learned how to make a cute sneeze today. Bear with me. Cute sneeze. So I I, like, I was in the the copy room in this teacher sneeze, and it was this cute. I was like, oh, yes. How do you do that? How do you make it sound so like sweet and elusive? And I she didn't know what I was talking about, but I don't sneeze like that. So today, I I tried it and you can do it. You just have to force your body to, like, make that sound. So that's my story, guys. Happy to be here. Speaker 5
Wish you weren't so fucking awkward, bub. Speaker 1
I have so many questions. Speaker 4
Doesn't it hurt? No. No. No. No. Okay. You still get the sneeze out. It's just the the sound that that you just form your mouth to make that sound? Speaker 1
I'm not happy unless I'm sneezing like a horse. Speaker 6
Settle down. Speaker 4
Not for you then. Speaker 1
Yeah. Not for me. Speaker 0
Yeah. I mean, I I got the dad sneeze. Like, if it if it's happening, the neighbors are gonna fucking know it. Speaker 5
It's in polite to talk about yourself. Speaker 1
That's right. Oh, my dad's niece Speaker 2
was always, profanity laced. Speaker 1
What? Speaker 2
Oh, man. My dad's niece is like, gosh. Speaker 0
Shit. Speaker 2
Right. Damn it. It's Speaker 3
wondrous. I usually say chewbacca when I sneeze. Speaker 1
I'll take serious. Speaker 3
Like that. Speaker 5
You are spare parts. Aren't you bud? Speaker 1
That is gonna be so pissed. He missed this. Speaker 3
Putn't the kids around anyway? Speaker 4
Bringing this solid gold. Speaker 1
What a wookie? Speaker 0
Nice. That's awesome. I Speaker 1

audio settings because my headphones just told me they're gonna die. Speaker 1
Well, don't do that. You're next. Speaker 0
Fucking. Speaker 4
Okay. Let's see. Speaker 0
Is that it? Speaker 1
She can't hear me. Speaker 5
It's fucking embarrassing. Speaker 2
She can't hear me. Speaker 4
At least this is going so great. Speaker 0
This is this is great. Well, I'm back. I'm back. Speaker 1
Oh, okay. Good. Speaker 4
So you never wanted to be great. Sort yourself out. Speaker 1
Oh. I'm not editing that. No. Now you're officially our Victor for the evening. Awesome. How are you now? Speaker 0
Good. And you? Speaker 1
Not so bad. What's up this week? Speaker 0
There is a concert outside my house, which is creating a lot of traffic. I do not think that the DoorDash that I ordered for dinner is going to get here on time. But it's your job. Like, the street outside my house is literally a fucking car park because despite the fact that there are cops pitched up right outside right on both ends of this street, and there are signs everywhere saying no concert parking. Speaker 3
Yeah. Well. Speaker 0
Motherfuckers. Treat this like a third lot. So Speaker 4
Close on a pipe. Speaker 0
And then tomorrow, my sister and I are taking her youngest child and playing Hookie and going to the zoo for baby's birthday. Speaker 1
Brilliant. Speaker 0
Yeah. The niblets turn in three. So, you know, we're gonna go take her to see some animals. Speaker 7
That's what I appreciates about you. Speaker 0
Yay. Speaker 1
That's so sweet. I hope you guys have a great time. Speaker 0
Oh, yeah. We're gonna fuck it up. We're gonna feed some giraffes and and have way too much fizzy pop and buy an insanely overpriced stuffed animal and it will all have been worth it. Speaker 1
Hell, yeah. Fuck yeah. Trace. How are you now? Speaker 2
Good. And you? Speaker 1
I'm great. Speaker 2
Bitching. My week as been decidedly boring. My Speaker 4
Oh, but it just gets better and better. Speaker 2
I know. My my children started back school a month ago, so I ain't got any cool stories in that regard. Work's been lame. Weekend's been boring. Speaker 4
Nice. Speaker 2
Thanks for tuning in for this awesome content, everybody. Speaker 4
I mean, when you start the sneezing story, where the heck else do you go? Speaker 2
It's down. Speaker 1
Usually up, but Right? One would think. Speaker 2
Oh, but, No. I got nothing. Go ahead. Speaker 1
Okay. Great. My week has been a train wreck. It's a it's Speaker 0
I've had some Speaker 2
But it's not boring. Speaker 1
No. But it's not boring. I've had some physical issues, namely one. I hit my head on the uranus at work the other day. Speaker 0
Are you fucking kidding me? Speaker 1
Not at all. Speaker 2
In your head, me uranus. Speaker 1
So I I'm in the oldest building on campus, and the bathroom stalls were, like, made in nineteen fifty when people were, like, a foot shorter. So the wooden door of the stall the corner of it hits like right about here. And I'm super tired because middle school hours are balls, they suck. And I got up I did my thing. I got up from the toilet, and you know how you're, like, usually looking down at point, right, pulling your pants up, whatnot? When I get up thinking I've pulled the door open enough, and what I've really done is, like, pulled the door right in time to, like, jack myself in the eye, like eyebrow. And it was like, I held my hand against my eye fully expecting my eyeball to come, like, seeping out. Because it was like right there. Speaker 5
You are having a fucking brain hematoma. Speaker 1
So that that sucked. And then I almost cut my thumb off tonight. Chopping apples with my son. Speaker 5
Holy. Speaker 1
He cuts apples better than I do. It's a new moon tonight. So I'm gonna set a bunch of intentions that involve physical security. Speaker 0
I mean, Pretty pretty sure that the the new moon is tomorrow night. Speaker 5
I said teach me something. Speaker 0
Like, there's a whole thing about it in the calendar. Speaker 1
That's how it's tonight. Speaker 0
Shoulda. Right? Oops. Speaker 1
Okay. Well, I'm not Jewish, awesome. So my full moon starts tonight. Speaker 5
That's cultural appropriation. Speaker 0
Oh, no. Speaker 1
Yeah. Well, hi. Speaker 2
It's Italian for me. Speaker 1
Yeah. That's right. It's the Catholic full moon. Okay? Speaker 0
Alright. I'm just telling you mine's better. We get to get wasted. Speaker 1
Good for you. Have one for me, Mike. I'll wear you now. Speaker 3
I'm better than you, I guess. Speaker 1
Oh, so bad. Speaker 3
Other than being super tired from the beginning of school, as Aaron has pointed out. You know, that's it. I'd I'd like to say before I gotta run a dance tomorrow night for half a school. And, you know, run a whole bunch of events because student council crap is all front loaded at my school for the most part. And after that, you know, we got all the sports happening. Like, little one, littles playing soccer, medium is playing soccer and baseball, football, and big one has girl scouts all over the place. So it's like you know, she's going like an hour away to a cranberry bug, and we we punted on that. Or we're like, can someone drive you to that? Because I'm not driving to a cranberry bug on Sunday when I could be doing stuff. So Did you see a Speaker 1
cranberry bug? Speaker 4
Bogg bog. What is that? Speaker 0
I mean, frankly, I would rather go to the cranberry bog. Speaker 3
I mean, I would rather not But Speaker 1
is that where the cranberries are in the water floating? Speaker 3
Yeah. They grow and they flood the they flood the bog. And then when the ripe cranberries float up, they scoot they skim them off. New Jersey grows a shit ton of cranberries. Speaker 0
But you gotta look out for wolf spiders. For what? Because they live in the cranberry bushes and they're actually really, really good pest control, but there are just a shit wack of them. There's like fucking millions of them that when they've so the cranberries don't grow in the water. They grow in the seas and then they flood the field to raise the But, and when they do that, there's just a bazillion fucking spiders going, why are you trying to drown me bro? Speaker 3
Yeah. I'm not telling her that, because she'll be like, so we'll let the guide tell them once they're there. Wow. Or else? She's like, I'm not going in there. So, Speaker 0
fun fact, ocean spray is a co op. It is it is employee owned. I thought Speaker 4
you were gonna give a fact about the amount of wolf spiders and what they Speaker 1
were thinking. Speaker 0
I just gave the fucking fact. They all that's why you get all the pictures on the bottle of, like, this taxi guys and their waiters and henleys. Hey. Oh. Hey. Oh. I need Speaker 1
a cup of coffee and an accent So Speaker 6
Good day. It's Melbourne Jack. If you know any about Melbourne, you're known for two things. World class sport, and coffee. We love the stuff, live and breathe it. So if you turn around and serve me a lackluster latte, I think it'd be gone. Because I'm not here to fuck spiders, but diabolical coffee. That's worth the squeeze for devilishly good coffee and diabolically grass wag. Speaker 0
This is so important. Speaker 1
There's a brace Speaker 6
for all Mal burnings. No matter how you buddy, well, take it. I've got the lot, hole bean, coarse, standard grind, They've even got those bloody little pods. So if you're a swagman waiting for your ability to boil or just a punter, they've got you sorted. So go take a sticky beak at diabolical coffee and make sure to use the discount code, produce stand for twenty percent off the lot. So you can keep those pineapples in your skyrocket, tie, eric, your ripper blake, and choose the diabolical coffee for your support. Speaker 1
Thank you, Eric, for your support. And isn't it great that, like, I didn't really listen to that. That commercial, that spot, whatever, before we had this conversation, and it is totally on tone. So the entire Bad so far. So this is great. Speaker 7
That's what I appreciates about you. Speaker 4
That new moon's working for us. Speaker 0
Hey. Hey. Anybody else feel like they need a dirt listen to that. Speaker 5
But we both know you'd run my show. Speaker 1
No, don't smoke, but you should totally feel free to have a dart. Speaker 0
I I don't hack in the house, Naw, man. Okay. Speaker 2
I worked real hard to quits my money. Speaker 5
On letter, Kenny. Speaker 1
Ask week, Jeff joined the two p s crew to kick out the best of rolled while Cassie filled in for Matt. This week, we're talking about week one of the first official TPS fantasy football league, something about an AU for Shoresy, and the upcoming two hundredth episode of the produce stand pod. So let's get into it. Speaker 5
Well, don't pour us. Get to the chorus. Speaker 1
With us tonight. We have a commissioner, Mike. Mike, welcome. Speaker 4
Tell me. Speaker 1
So it's producer, Casey. Speaker 3
Oh, sorry, fox. Speaker 6
Settle down. Speaker 1
Whatever. Casey is fine. Listen, you roped what twelve of us ten, twelve of us into this fantasy world. Speaker 3
Myself and eleven others. Yeah. Let's talk first thing. Speaker 1
Why? First of all. Speaker 3
Okay. So, why? I mean, I like fantasy football. I've played it for like twenty years. At least. I think maybe a little more. And I found myself without a league this year for the first time because, you know, at one point, at my height, I was in like three different leagues, and that was a pretty good stretch. And then I it dwindled to one, and that was like not a very competitive league because it was only down to like eight people. And with an eight person league, there's always someone good on waivers. It wasn't even challenging. And, you know, if it's for money, that's one thing, but, you know, these are all just for fun leagues, just for, you know, for for chirping and bragging rights with your friends. So the season was drawing close and it's like, I don't have a league for the first time in forever. And I thought, well, you know what, maybe some I know we're not at a big, we don't talk a lot sports. Even though we watch a sports show ostensibly. But we, we don't really, you know, it gets kinda like back burner stuff every once in a while. So I said, there's gotta be some people in the group. Let me just throw it out there. And lo and behold, we managed to get a lot of people who have played and a good smattering of people who have not played. Which, and I'll tell you this right off. And this is how I kind of pitched it, I think, is you don't really need a lot of skill to play fantasy football. It's it's a numbers game. You know, you don't have to know the player's name. So you you look at stats. If you can read numbers and read projections, you can do well. And if you let the computer pick for you, you can do well right, very quick as everyone knows. So Speaker 1
You can dodge a wrench. You can dodge a ball. Speaker 3
Yeah. That's kind of the origins of how I decided to throw it out there to the the general group if they wanted to get together. And I'm very pleased that some, enough people did to have a twelve person lead Speaker 4
Can I just share it's not just numbers? There's also letters that you're supposed to fill in and and some people may forget and not know that the DES is actually something you need to choose and draft. So Speaker 9
Well, if Speaker 1
you let the computer Definitely. Speaker 3
If you let if you did auto draft, it would have picked one for you. Like Casey and and Miriam and whoever else auto drafted. Speaker 5
Oh, if you could be one thing, you should be efficient. Speaker 3
Yeah. But, Speaker 4
it's okay. I opted for three quarterbacks. Speaker 2
That's the best part. Speaker 3
Don't need that. Speaker 2
Aaron comes on the chat and goes. Speaker 0
Not my forte. Speaker 2
Hey, Mike. I think I need a defense. You don't have a defense. Speaker 3
You got one where the first week started? Speaker 2
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Speaker 4
Okay. But he was seconds before. And I had to wait until Sunday morning to actually get the defense team that I wanted because I'm still number twelve of the draft pick, which is gonna haunt me this entire season. Speaker 3
You're fine. Speaker 1
So, the names are are really what is relevant here. Our current standings for week one are give your handbags a tug. Speaker 5
Give your balls a tug. You tet fucker? Shoresy. Speaker 1
Wheeler of moms. That's me. With, we'll talk about we'll get to that. We'll get to that. Phew. Wheeler of moms. Speaker 5
They aren't my friends and their moms were wheeling me. Speaker 1
Off balanced pH levels. I don't know who that is. For many? It's a treat. Liz freaks for Eva is Miriam. Speaker 5
So tech a size ten four. Speaker 1
Oh, Joseph is off balance pH levels. Gail's Haitian tacos coming in strong number five. Speaker 0
Pardon called bunkin one or two times. Speaker 1
That's Jay. Number six is ten Pied Counties. Speaker 5
You're fucking ten Pied, bud. Speaker 1
James? Party island Squeezers is Jess's. That's who's but I kicked last week. I think. Speaker 5
Everyone knows he got an underwater squeezer from her off side of our party island last summer in Wosagabe. Speaker 1
Spare parts, Erin. Love that name. Speaker 5
You are spare parts. Aren't you bud? Speaker 1
Just this week. Big sexy and the sluts. Speaker 4
Yeah. You're a big sexual. Speaker 1
Josh Stormy studs. Is squidmaster. Speaker 0
Nothing. And, Speaker 1
attention's paid. Speaker 7
At least the three knuckler to get to the bottom of this. Speaker 1
It's Jason, and w's are unbelievable. Speaker 9
Because w's talk, baby. Speaker 1
Ironically, in last plates. Speaker 2
I think is that too outplayed? I think that's too outplayed. Speaker 1
Whose are unbelievable? Speaker 2
I think so. Yeah. It was just a victim now. Just a trail of dead I left in my wake. Speaker 4
And and I love that our case. Speaker 1
Her profile picture says got sticks. Speaker 5
Sticks are unbelievable. Speaker 1
It's just a stick. And it says got sticks. I freaking love it. I want it for my own profile picture. So, yes, w's are unbelievable as last. And by some weird AI miracle of whatever. Yes, I'm in first place with two hundred ten points, which trace, you said, is pretty rare? Speaker 2
Oh, no. I don't know if it's rare, but getting over two hundred points is something in fantasy football. Speaker 1
Isn't it now? Speaker 3
Well, it depends on how the settings are because, like, I'm pretty I likes to see scoring, but I don't necessarily like to see runaway scoring. So But in the scoring how I have it set up and and the the commissioners can do it. It's pretty I don't do much beyond standard, but a couple tweaks for for like big plays and stuff. But anyway, that's a lot of points to scoring a week. But the the thing about your matchup with Jeff, Jeff is gonna be the guy I have this feeling about Jeff. He's gonna be the hard luck guy. His point total would put him in second place if he won. Right? And and meanwhile, now he's on the the second half of the the ladder here because you beat him, you both scored incredibly high. Speaker 1
Yeah. Yeah. Speaker 2
It was a shout out. Speaker 0
Yeah. And he's Speaker 3
like down in seventh place, probably. Speaker 1
Yes. Speaker 3
And if you look at his point, his Speaker 1
His one ninety four ninety six. Speaker 3
Yeah. He would be in second place. We had to want a different match. But anyway, there's always a guy Speaker 2
everybody else. Speaker 3
There's always a guy with, like, a low win total, but he has incredible points scored, and he just can't catch you break. Like, every week you play the guy who had his best week ever. So, I think I'm playing him this week. Right? Am I playing Jeff this week? And I Speaker 0
don't know now. Speaker 3
My my Eagles receiver just caught, a huge touchdown. So, yeah, Duvante Smith has thirty five points already. And No. That's like, twenty over over projection. So maybe this will be the week that I that Jeff scores a lot of points and loses again. You never know. This will be the week, Speaker 1
but that happens again. Speaker 3
There's always there's always there's always there's always things. Speaker 0
Like this is why I have zero interest. Like that that would drive me so far up the fucking wall. I oh, man. Speaker 1
But awesome. I haven't done fuck all, and I'm at the top. So But also, like No. Speaker 0
That's exactly the problem. Speaker 1
You ain't right. Speaker 0
Right? That is exactly the fucking problem. I'm from where Speaker 4
I'm sitting. It's doing great. Speaker 3
The rest of my team could shit to bed and then Jeff will win. So it's all like, you know, it's the highs and lows. Right now, I'm like, I got a great week happening here, but then, like, you know, Mahomes will get injured in second half of this game. I'll be like, okay, now I gotta scramble and and find a new quarterback for week three. You know, it's all I know, if you like the kind of thing, it's it's very fun. If you don't take it too seriously, it it can be a lot of fun. And I don't think we're gonna take it too seriously. Speaker 5
Because I don't have fucking five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes. Speaker 0
I imagine us taking anything seriously, you know, fucking real. Speaker 2
Because let's let's take a minute and look at Mike's first week opponent. Mike's first week opponent was Miriam. Speaker 5
This is so dumb. Speaker 2
Yeah. Miriam doesn't have the biggest of her own mission, biggest concept of the rules or basic things of football or Great. The CFO for that matter. Speaker 1
That's right. Speaker 2
She's a lovely Canadian lady who doesn't give two thoughts about American or Canadian football for that matter. Speaker 0
Yeah. Speaker 2
But she joined up in the spirit of unity. Speaker 5
Doesn't that sound good? Speaker 0
I mean, okay. But the I don't want to know. I'm not understanding the mechanisms of how that shit works and I don't like the fact that you can do everything right and end up losing like Jeff. Like, Speaker 3
I don't sports anyway. Anything. That's nice. That's every sport. Speaker 0
Like I like to play games where the rules and mechanics are reliable. Speaker 1
You can't win. Don't play. Speaker 0
No combs are predictable. Speaker 3
They are that well. They are the scoring totally predictable and standard. You know, you're getting x amount of points for this play. It's just did you start the right people over you know, someone else. Speaker 1
Your opponents. Yeah. Speaker 3
And I I have, like, guys on my bench who scored way better than my starters last week, which is why I lost Miriam. Speaker 5
Talking loser? Speaker 4
Yeah. This is amazing. Speaker 0
I had Speaker 4
this thing up too, and then I was sitting there. I had about five minutes today. Looking up stuff and found there was a plethora of like play or bench websites where like you would put people in there, but none of them were the same. Everyone has no idea. So I just come on Justin Fields. Please who? Bear's bear's quarterback. He's I should not have played him last week as you were playing the packers. And there's not a good track record there. Yeah. So, in case you're up against me. Yeah. Speaker 1
I know. You've already got some points. Yeah. It's on like donkey Con. So I would love to try to have a conversation about what would be like our fantasy letter, Kenny, Shoresy hockey team, but I feel like Shoresy's already taken care of that by putting together the sluts. Speaker 0
Yeah. Dolo TR, the gyms, like Speaker 9
Jim. Jim. Jim. Speaker 0
How do you how do you fucking beat that with a stick. The Speaker 3
soup. Yeah. Speaker 1
Unless you're in Speaker 3
the soup. Speaker 4
So we're so fucking good. Speaker 3
The soup beat it pretty bad with some sticks. Speaker 4
Well, I mean, like, the sue, though. Right? Speaker 0
In real life though. Like, who would you because this is the car Speaker 1
place his name Speaker 0
on his podcast. Right? He's like, Your draft does. Yeah. He's he's like, you can pick any hockey player live or dead to make the ultimate five man team. Who are you picking? But you can't pick any of the Montreal Canadians because that's his team. And he's like, no. They they're just two over they're the fucking yankees of Set Speaker 1
them down. Speaker 0
No. That's what he says. Right? So he that's his caveat. But yeah, it's it's interesting. Everybody's always got a different answer. Speaker 1
Tobias says Shoresy beat them with a stick. You never drop your stick in a fight. Speaker 5
Never drop your stick in a brawls. Hold down. Speaker 1
And so true. Tobias is correct. Like a virus Speaker 0
is sleep correct. Speaker 1
Always correct. Yeah. So Do we have any tips? You got any tips on being a leader, Speaker 0
Mike? Yeah. Speaker 4
Come on. Speaker 3
I'm being a commissioner? Speaker 1
Yeah. Whatever. Speaker 0
Yeah. Where's the huge fuck off sea on your shirt, man? Oh, we need to Speaker 1
get them a huge fuck off sea. Speaker 3
I don't have one. Speaker 5
Hey, Keller, when they put that big fuck off see on your sweaters, they think you grow into it or what? Speaker 3
But, basically, it I've commit I've been a commissioner, and this is no big deal. All I gotta do is is be the guy that starts the league. He doesn't like being commissioner, but like, I've I've started a few in the absence of people that wanted to do it. And in a in a commissioner that, in being a commission for at least with money, it's a lot more serious because, you know, there's money on the line. So being a commissioner of a no money fund league, is way better because you don't have you don't have people complaining about your decisions, not that I make any, you know, I I set use the standard settings. But in leagues where the commissioners like, how much are you gonna, you know, what's to pay out or or, you know, are you gonna charge? There's some there where you have to actually pay for trades with real money. I've seen, like, big time ones. Not I've never been in them, but I've I've known people who are in them. It's like, it's actual pool of money. You give, like, you know, five hundred dollars. And if you wanna buy a player, it's you give literal money to the they're just weird. You know, there's a lot of different ones. People take it way too seriously. So as commissioner, I would say just but Speaker 1
No. Go on. Finish what you're saying. Speaker 3
As a commissioner, like, I said from the beginning, like for you and for Miriam and anyone else, Aaron, just ask ask any of us that have played before Speaker 1
We Speaker 3
don't care. We'll tell you what you need to do. Like, if you if I see that I'm playing someone and they don't have someone started, I'll mess you and be like, good to get someone in there because there's no point. There's no honor in beating a team where no one's playing first of Speaker 1
all. Right. Speaker 3
But when the bioweeks come up and your players are sitting, Speaker 5
you know, Speaker 3
you could expect them. I hope all of us would be like, hey, hey, you need to put someone in there because it's not that kind of league and this isn't that kind of group where we're like, oh, I'm gonna win because I'm not telling her that she doesn't have a defense started. You know what I mean? Speaker 2
It's not like to put Speaker 4
it's not like to put a Speaker 2
game where somebody goes, what's this hand? They're just all the same suit. Yeah. You wanna get rid of those. Yeah. Speaker 3
No one's gonna do that. So Speaker 4
Okay. So then my so here's my question then. If somebody hypothetically had three quarterbacks but got rid of one and the other two still are the same by week. Like, do we do I does that person get rid of somebody and then get a quarterback that week? Speaker 3
Don't do that till the bio weeks get closer because something could happen. One of those guys could get injured and you'll need to start them. But like, assess your bi weeks when the bi weeks are close by weeks. Speaker 1
Bye. Speaker 4
Put them the kickers. Sorry. I just have so many questions. The only thing you know about kickers Speaker 0
is kickers speak when spoken to. Speaker 3
Okay. Kickers, you don't even need a kicker until like ten minutes for game time. Speaker 5
Keep in your Speaker 3
kickers. Speaker 5
It's likely one of those the more you hear it, things. Speaker 3
Whoever's available. That's nothing. You know, a lot of people don't even draft kickers until and they pick one up when they check to see who's got a a a good matchup. So we'll, you know. Speaker 1
Okay. I feel like Shorzy has taught me more about sports in general. Like, I thought I was a sports fan before Shoresy because I liked baseball. I played volleyball on a played soft ball. Like, I know the mechanics of those sports. I understand crowd impact and all that. I've even been to football games at the uni that I teach at, that I work at. But, like, I don't know, watching hockey and and watching Shoresy sort of changed it for me. Like, I feel like I feel like I understand things more. Speaker 4
More invested? Speaker 1
No, not even because I don't care about it. I'm your taco. I don't even know what that means, but I'm apparently the taco of our league. From some show. Speaker 3
That's Aaron knows what that is. Speaker 4
I do the league. I it's a very funny. Speaker 1
Yeah. It's hilarious. The guitar player with the kids at the party and, Speaker 4
yeah, Speaker 1
so it's really awful. Speaker 3
That's That's the only clip you saw of the league. Speaker 1
Oh, so the show is called the League. This is like that one time in eighth grade where my friends were fucking with me about French and they kept saying, Jenna Sepan, I kept saying, what does that mean? And they kept saying, I don't know, and we did that for about five minutes, and they were laughing at me the whole time. Speaker 5
Than puberty or is Speaker 0
it pretty close? Sorry. Speaker 3
Mark Duplas was, the, like, the main guy in the show and, Nick rolls on it. What's the guy's name? AB like Adrian? What was his name? What's the guy's name? I Jason Vansoukas. Speaker 4
Oh, Jason. Speaker 3
He's he's on it for a while. And Katie Askelton is married to Mark Dubelas. Like, they were the kind of the big guys in the show. And it was basically a bunch of guys playing fantasy football, but also their lives right because it can't just be about fantasy football. So it was a great show it lasted maybe four or five seasons. I don't know. Like, short seasons. It was an FX show, I think, and or something. And, it was just like It was like you're it related. People who played fantasy football could relate to it from that standpoint because it was exactly how we, like, talk to each other, you know. It's like, you get together at a party with more than four guys in your league and all of a sudden, all of a sudden, you're talking about it, you know. Yeah. So Speaker 1
So entering the chat is Tobias Gibson. Hopefully, he'll get the messages his Tobias is also a football fan. And I feel like since he's the only person He should join us. Speaker 2
Anyone Speaker 9
wants to hang out. I got beers and stuff. Speaker 1
Tobias, can you even manage? Turn your camera on, bud. Let's see. Yeah. Speaker 0
So if he turns his camera on, can I turn mine off? Yes. Is this fucking scarf off my fucking Speaker 1
Yes. Great. But turn it off be four, you remove your scarf. Speaker 0
Obviously, not under just a sprint referral. Speaker 4
And so I ask, like, so how how funny is it that, you know, all of it. Like, I I feel like you you're you guys are so respectful. I really am trying to chirp myself in that chat. We have a chat about fantasy football. And you won't let me. You guys are just being too kind to me about, oh, it's okay. Speaker 5
Talking loser. Speaker 3
Well, don't worry. You know, it's still early. Speaker 2
Yeah. Lauren's, I mean, Aaron's like, please, bust my balls. Speaker 4
Right. Like, honestly, like, I forgot to convince you. Speaker 9
I'm Here my bells. Speaker 4
Here my bells. That's four kickers. Speaker 5
That's a top up side, Wadette. Speaker 0
Well, I Speaker 3
think we're still working on the the under the, guys, maybe you really don't know what you're doing yet, so we don't wanna be too mean. Like if I didn't do that, I would expect someone to be like, Hey, what are you doing? Or someone who's played a lot before, but like, you know, I think we're still being kind because we're we're treating you as maybe new. I don't know. Speaker 4
I appreciate that. But You you are welcome to, Speaker 0
your investigative. Speaker 4
He's asking nicely. Speaker 0
Okay. This is consent. Then you're allowed to call me Speaker 1
a fuck Speaker 5
useless cunt on your way there. Yeah. Hell yeah. Fuck you. Speaker 0
We'll bring it. Speaker 1
Just in case you were wondering. Speaker 7
Thank you. Speaker 1
Tavias, how are you now? Speaker 9
I'm good. How about you? Speaker 1
Not so bad. How's your week? Welcome to the podcast. Speaker 9
Well, thank you. My my my week's been awesome. Yeah. I'm answering real life then. Speaker 0
Oh, good. Yeah. Speaker 1
Bringing the energy. Energy. Give us the update. Speaker 9
I'm I'm at Syracuse's law school. I'm I'm I'm a, what was title I got given today. Distinguished, distinguished, fellow in residence. Speaker 0
Fail to say it. Speaker 9
So, today, I'm Speaker 2
sure our distinguished fellow. Speaker 9
Well, thank you. It's it's it's all on the beard. Facts. Yeah. You know, I mean, so I've got, I got accepted to a conference today and some other stuff. So, I mean, things are going really well. Speaker 4
Congratulations. It's so exciting. Speaker 1
Do you do the fantasy footballs? Speaker 9
I I have never played fantasy football. Speaker 4
Own up your fan though. Right? Speaker 9
I love football. That that that's my issue is that, unlike Mike, who is not competitive, apparently, as, as as a fantasy football player. I I am competitive and damn near everything I do. And also, I have this thing about I there are about thirty percent of the league that I simply cannot root for in any way, which means that I I can't draft the, you know, the the the cowboys defense or the, you know, the blah blah blah's quarterback or, you know, the this wide receiver that I wish would just, you know, have his ankle fall off or, you Speaker 3
know, there's that problem too where I'm like, I know who I should read, but I refuse to because I don't wanna have to watch them and track. Speaker 9
I mean, I I'm I'm the cowboys in anything that they do ever. So Yeah. Speaker 5
That's a Texas size ten four. Speaker 3
Yeah. I generally stay away from patriots too, but it's, you know, Massachusetts. Because they're Speaker 1
Shoresy called up Jayjay. So Speaker 9
Yes. Speaker 1
What's your all's problems? Speaker 2
What's that Dallas defense do for you? Speaker 1
It's fucking I don't know yet. Speaker 2
Oh, last week. Speaker 0
Oh, is that a last name? Speaker 2
They score like six million. Yeah. They shut Speaker 1
them out. Oh, so it was good. Okay. Yeah. Speaker 9
It was great. Speaker 2
It was good. Through a good chunk of your two ten came from. Speaker 1
I didn't watch a single game. I literally went to bed Speaker 2
in one. Speaker 4
I am I am just learning auto draft. Next year. Speaker 5
Oh, if you could be one thing, you should be efficient. Speaker 0
Yeah. Give me a try. But I'll Speaker 9
say, I mean, the the the takeaway from Shoresy is not a about calling up Jayjay. It's about football bringing people together. Speaker 5
You're paraphrasing you fucking know Speaker 0
what? Yeah. Speaker 1
Here it is. That's right. Speaker 0
What what is why Speaker 1
is undistinguished? Speaker 3
You also don't really need to know much because all you have to do to set a lineup is just look at your lineup, do the projection for week, whatever, and whoever has the most little points next to their name, just start them. There's really noings. Speaker 4
But I tried to I thought Speaker 2
they just letting it roll. They gave me two ten last week. They're gonna give me this week. Speaker 4
Nothing. Like, I I literally, I went on to the ad player thing because I saw somebody that had eighteen points, and I was like, yeah, give me some of that. I want that. I only have thirty teen points. And then I get this dude, and it shows up as eight points, and when it gets in my thing, I was like, what's up? What's up with that? I don't know if any of this makes sense. Speaker 3
This scored eighteen points last week. Maybe. And their projection for this week is eight. Is that what you're looking at? Speaker 4
I think I I think I was looking at fan points with the two. I don't know what that means. Speaker 1
Is it the number all the way to the right that you have to pay attention to? Or Speaker 3
Well, it depends. And if you're talking about projection, projected points, is never what they're gonna get. Like, I had a lot of players underperform their projections. So I lost. You know? Speaker 1
Right. Right. Right. Speaker 9
Right. Right. Speaker 3
And right now I have a guy, like I said, twenty plus points over his projection. I could still lose down the line But, you know, it's good. So, anyway, it This Speaker 1
team will never lose again. Speaker 5
I wanna never lose again. Speaker 3
Let's hope. Speaker 1
Sorry. I'm just trying to stay on topic. Speaker 4
Yeah. Just trying to let the people Speaker 1
know that we're still about that. Well, you Speaker 4
can we can go to the next scene. Speaker 1
Disney. Do we have any do we have do we wanna make any predictions before we drop this topic? Speaker 3
I can't make predictions necessarily. Speaker 1
I think maybe not, but for week two predictions, you can't make week two predictions. Speaker 3
I mean, you can, but I didn't really look at that. I thought we were talking about last week. Speaker 1
Yeah, we are. Okay. Cool. Speaker 4
Pretty good. Yeah. Speaker 3
I didn't. Yep. Jason one, two, he's in second place. Come on. Speaker 1
If you're not first, you're last. No? Tell it againites anybody. Speaker 5
Always remember if you ain't first, last. Speaker 4
I got you. Speaker 1
Okay. Sweet. Three pound, four ounce. Baby Jesus. And now, with our newest feature, Speaker 9
alternate universes with awesome Speaker 1
Yes. Speaker 0
So we're not gonna discuss our predictions for Shoresi series two. That's just not on the table. Pardon? What we're going to do instead is I want each one of you to hit me with the crackiest, most off the wall insane alternate universe you can think of Okay. Or either Letter Kenny or Shorsey. Speaker 4
Got it. Speaker 1
Right. So so can you get us started? Like, do you have one in your pocket to, like, sort of get the creative juices going go on, Erin? Speaker 0
As as an what, Aaron? Speaker 4
No. You go and then I'm gonna go. Speaker 0
Okay. No. You go first. Speaker 5
Stop talking. I got something I wanna say to you with a count of three. At the count of three, I'm gonna say it and you don't talk. Alright. With you. So once again, I'll say something on the count of three and then you don't talk. Difficulty. Alright? Speaker 9
I'm just gonna do what you say. And then I don't talk. Speaker 4
Okay. I did look up what au meant. I had no idea. Speaker 1
Yeah. Speaker 4
And I will remember my exciting story of the day was a sneeze. Here we go. Okay? So we've got, the sluts are getting really excited. And if I'm way the fuck off track, Austin, let me know. Mhmm. And they're pushing Shoresy. Like, you gotta you gotta do this many. You gotta do this and, like, fucking throw him in through a door. Camera is pan over to him, and he's live. More, he has a has a card, and he goes, Shorzy, you are the father. Fucking pans over. Do I need a dick? And then Darth Bader busted. Speaker 1
Oh my god. Speaker 4
Oh, I am father. It's Smash Cut. Stormy wakes up. Thanks to Bob new heart. Speaker 5
Jesus Christ superstar. It was Speaker 4
only a dream and then starts scrolling on Instagram. Speaker 9
And and and he has a brother Daryl and another brother Daryl. Speaker 5
Did you just have a stroke? Speaker 1
And the pickups are what sold it. Oh my god. Speaker 0
Awesome. Fuck it hurts. I need a minute. Speaker 4
Oh, shit. It said alternate universe Speaker 1
Oh, my god. Speaker 5
You don't wear that or your fucking technicolor dream coat? Speaker 0
Wow. You just crammed in like whoever doesn't talking TV comedy tropes in the one fucking that is that's genius. Speaker 4
You are the father. Speaker 0
I am. I wake up next to Bob fucking new card and it's all just a dream. Speaker 1
I am crying. I am so glad we're recording. Holy. Speaker 2
She's gonna be right crooked she is. Speaker 0
That's how's that for a slice of fried gold? Speaker 4
Cheers. Speaker 0
Jeez. That yeah. Okay. Speaker 1
You're up. Awesome. Speaker 0
So for my smoke and crack, alternate universe. So we know Shoresy's adopted. Right? Oh, yeah. Scott Thompson? Back in his very early twenties. Maybe in nineteen before he left Ontario for Vancouver. Jared Kiso had a starring role in a little kids show. Why called Monster Warriors Speaker 5
Look if you're coming, you better come correct. Speaker 0
Fire fire fire. Yeah. And, over the course of that show, We learn that Chizo's character, Luke, Speaker 1
who is the leader Speaker 0
of the most are warriors, is also adopted. Speaker 7
Allegedly. Speaker 0
So so. Right? Co Speaker 4
witness it is. She ends Speaker 0
with the big reveal and also It turns out that Luke is not just adopted, but he is also the same person as another character named Henry who is from the future who has been communicating with Luke in the past. Hermanator. Speaker 5
Holy. Speaker 0
And So, like, in one timeline or some shit, Henry, traveled back to the past before last von steinhauer started bringing all the monsters to life. And Raul Close. Yeah. Speaker 1
Like you do. Speaker 0
Right? So he traveled back in time and proceeded to grow up in the past so he could change the future and prevent Klaus from ever recreating his monsters. Obviously, that did not work. But no. I it it would be hilarious. And if by going back to the past, he obviously changed the future. Right? So, yeah. No. Shoresy is actually loot from monster warriors after, you know, fixing the past or whatever. But it's Oh. Speaker 1
My mind is Speaker 4
That was great. Speaker 1
And I that was amazing. Wow. Alright. Who's next? Who's got one? Speaker 2
I can't top that. What are you crazy? Speaker 0
I said smoke some crack and come up with something fucking dumb. Speaker 1
Okay. Oh. I've got one then. I'll go. Speaker 2
Okay. Okay. Speaker 1
Okay. I'll go. I'll go. Okay. The year is, twenty twenty three, and it's hockey season in sudbury. Ontario. Okay. And I, in my winter, two can Blueberry blue pants. I'm at the suddbury arena. And I'm I'm a glass just watching the game. And all of a sudden, Shoresy. Hits the glass and our eyes meet. And he realizes, I am the mom. That he's been looking for. Speaker 5
Oh, you give me a moment. I'll make it last a lifetime. I swear to God, I'd be so good to you. Speaker 0
Oh. Yeah. Speaker 1
Yeah. It's like that. Fast forward ten years later, he's got a big old fat belly For what? Because he's been drinking too much, and he got injured on the ice, and we have twelve kids. Speaker 5
Holy. Speaker 1
And I smoke, and he's still doing dip. And it's, like, married with children except me and Shorzy with twelve kids. Speaker 5
Peggy, we just did it last month. A man can't just roll over and do it again. We have to rest in between. Speaker 4
Hot. I love it. Yes. Make it happen. Speaker 1
Ted Bundy. I mean, Ed Are are you Ted Bundy? Speaker 5
I figured it out. Speaker 0
Is this the murderer? Al bundy. Al bundy? Yeah. I think that's incorrect. Speaker 2
Shorsey is Ted bundy. Speaker 1
Oh, he went dead, buddy. Speaker 0
Does that mean you you're prancing around in, like, leopard skin capri tights and fucking fucking shit? I'm fucking into it. Absolutely. Speaker 5
The words of Scotty Wallnessy. Yep. Speaker 2

Yep. He knows every day. Speaker 3
I love it. How about a universe of Letter Kenny? Speaker 0
Mhmm. Yeah. Where Speaker 3
where, Daryl. Give me a stage like that. Speaker 2
I'm gonna have to dazzle. Speaker 3
Darryl is like a Mr. Potter, from, it's a wonderful life. And he owns everything. He owns everything. He runs his little potter, Taylor Pottersville, when the skids sell his meth for him and make all the money. He's married to Katie because she just follows the money in the dick. Speaker 8
Give a young man thirty idle seconds, and he's gonna get a boner. Speaker 3
And he's got all his little people doing everything. He runs the soybean conglomerate, and he's just like the puppet master in like a a backwards Potterville. And he's like, Daryl. You know, because who expects Daryl to be that way. Speaker 1
Maggie? That's fantastic. Speaker 0
Oh, I love I'm a little worried about this slander on my favorite of Katie's character, but yeah. No. Speaker 1
She's she's now got twenty types of docs. Speaker 0
Oh, yeah. That's true. She might be learning the dream. Speaker 2
Mike's a dick. Speaker 1
That too. Speaker 2
Twenty types. Speaker 3
Mean, she got some money. Right? She she would go where the money is in that case. Yeah. Speaker 1
Does she remember it was it this season that she was like Speaker 0
You guys will have to excuse me. Speaker 4
I've never seen that guy before, Speaker 0
and I wonder if he likes sex with girls. Yeah. Okay. Look, Katie. Like sex, that's fine. Like, wait, that's like, that's different than being a gold digger. Speaker 3
An alternate universe. She's allowed to be a gold digger. Speaker 0
Oh, yeah. That's true. Okay. Speaker 4
And Speaker 3
Daryl's Daryl's allowed to be a a greedy businessman. Speaker 0
Why do I feel like he looks like by my own rules? Speaker 1
Biff Tanlin in back to the future three. Speaker 0
Fuck. Don't Whoa. I cannot unsee that now. Speaker 1
I can't, right, but that dairy Speaker 0
with the velvet shell suit. Yeah. Speaker 3

How much premium blonde harvest ale from Mitchell, Ontario? Hard working, cooperative. Tough in the corners. Zuric being off the top with a Strathroy Turkey finish, Speaker 3

You know. Trace, Tabias, alternate universe, Speaker 9

my my only alternate university would be like, I run into, like, Laura Moore, and she goes, hi. And I said, hi. Speaker 4
That'll be the most a man has got for me in a very long time. Speaker 2
And she says, are you a hockey player? And I said, no, I am not. And she goes, would you like to go back to my place? Speaker 4
Hey. That's actually unsettling. That is amazing. Can you make it into a limber? Speaker 1
Oh, that would be a great limerick. Speaker 2
I don't know how to turn that into a limerick. Speaker 1
Call is. She'll help. Speaker 0
What about a haiku? Can you do a haiku? Speaker 9
Hi, Trace once met Laura Moore. Not that. I got mad. Speaker 1
Oh, yeah. Speaker 2

what he was dressed like a horror. Speaker 2
I'm at Laura Horr, and I am a man Horr. Speaker 1
There it is. Yes. Trace was. Oh, we're getting ball rolling. There we Speaker 4

That was not our best look. Speaker 5
Let's all have a spit. Speaker 4
Okay. It was good listening. Speaker 3
The last time Hey. Speaker 0
Some of us remember what happened. Speaker 4
Oh, that's okay. Speaker 2
I was being Yeah. It's Speaker 1
not again of them. Speaker 2
I fell asleep on a podcast. Speaker 4
You did. Seriously? Speaker 1
Yes. He did. Speaker 2
I don't know if she recorded, but, the whole zoom was on there. And I just remember falling asleep, and then I, like, woke up and steepen walker goes, oh, he's back. Speaker 1
Oh my god. Honor that dude. Speaker 3
I remember that day. Speaker 4
I was so prepared for this last, like, holiday pod. Like, you guys were gonna get crazy, like you did last year. And I was so ready, and it was just, like, super Speaker 3
Lame. We were lame. Speaker 1
Lame. Gibius, what was your first episode? Do you remember? Speaker 9
Listening or being on? Speaker 1
Yes. Speaker 9
I don't remember. I I've I found it around episode probably thirty, like they had yet. Like, I had to go back. I I I think something like the second episode I listened to was was, Kay Trev's interview. And then I had to go back and and start all over, I think, if if memory serves. Speaker 7
That's what I appreciates about you. Speaker 9
The first episode that I was on is the Letter Kenny Live Speaker 0
Oh, yeah. Speaker 9
Leave you, which was in April or May, I guess, of last year. Speaker 2
Yep. He perhaps could have been on sooner, had he been in any kind of contact with us on Twitter? Speaker 5
Twitter cult. Speaker 9
That is that is true. If if I if I was either more social or more media, then yes, I could have. Speaker 1
Yeah. Look, I Speaker 0
I have never I have never gonna hold it against anyone for reaching Oh, no. No. No. No. Participate in But he he straight up held to Speaker 2
his guns from the get go. I like how did you actually get in touch with Al too? Speaker 9
I believe Al said at some point that I'm the only person who's actually emailed him. Speaker 7
I guess we gots the calls up the internet. Speaker 1
Nice. Bad. Yeah. The modern equivalent of snail mail Speaker 3
Yeah. Speaker 9
I I I put two ropes in a, you know, two two soup cans and a rope. And Speaker 4
And I Speaker 2
can just see owl now. Oh, shit. I got an email. Oh, Speaker 1
I just took coffee on. Speaker 4
No. I had this again. Speaker 1
It wasn't empty. Oh. Trace, when was your first episode? You've been around for a while, bud. Speaker 2
Yeah. My first episode, I believe. Was around somewhere in the fourth season, I guess. And I was like, Speaker 0
I Speaker 2
always say that when I looked at Letter Canyon episodes and found like, oh, dude, these dudes are from Canada. They know a subs. And it was like, it's like when I go to a Mexican restaurant, I wanna see Mexican folks there. When I wanna watch a podcast about a Canadian show, won't Canadian folks Speaker 5
I just wanna say thanks for letting that stew for me. Speaker 1
Mike, what about you? Speaker 3
I have no clue when my first episode was I I mean, I went back. I I started listening once it came to America. Right? So that was like a couple seasons in. So, like, it was it was shortly after finishing Whatever. I guess the fur, they dropped them all. What they on hulu drop, did they drop like four seasons at once? Fine. I don't know. Speaker 0
No. So hulu in late twenty eighteen, like almost twenty nineteen. They dropped series one and two, and that's all that they had for a while. And then I think a new series came out And then they brought them all up to speed. And I that was series seven, I believe. Speaker 3
Oh, whenever it was, right after it came to Hulu, I'd, you know, I found it because that's what Americans do, I guess. And then like everyone else, you go looking for other content, and then I found Dean's podcast. He's a good guy. Speaker 7
He's a real good guy. Speaker 9
Oh, he's a great guy. Speaker 3
Dean and Tiara's first. Speaker 1
How are you doing? Speaker 3
I like that one, but the vibes were I encountered awesome for the first time. And then, then I found Al and the gang. And I just the vibe was it's different. It's not any better or worse, I guess, but it was different. And it was more a vibe that I felt comfortable with. So I stayed with that, but I don't know what what episode and And, you know? Yeah. I went I went back and started the podcast from beginning, like, I guess a lot of people do. But I couldn't tell you where I dropped in. Had a longer commute then. So it was like an episode a day. Nice. So Speaker 2
Oh, I I will say this much when, got into the DM group, and I I remember, nice and politely asking now. Hi. Can I be in your DM group too? And you're sure. And he throws me. He gets in there and I can't remember how many were in there at the time. I think it was, like, thirty or forty. And I remember, awesome popped up on her old Speaker 0
name. Speaker 1
Profile. Speaker 2
Profile. That was literally the one and only time I was, like, Hey, that's awesome. I heard her on the podcast. Whoa. Speaker 3
And, yeah. Speaker 0
Yeah. That don't happen anymore. Speaker 3

The man asks you for help. You help him. Speaker 0
Just, you know, we're not trying to step on your toes or nothing. Right. We like to be on our podcast, etcetera. Speaker 3
If this isn't an analogy, Alice to Dean as we are to Al. So, like, he was the one who, like, oh, Dean. Can can we talk about the podcast? And then we're, like, to Al. We're like, Hey, Hal. Can we be on your thing? Speaker 0

It's okay. I'm not gonna hate on Hulu because they do bring us these shows, but dear god. I don't know why we have to wait. I don't wanna hear anything positive about it. Awesome. Yes. Yes. You can. Speaker 0
Okay. So last year for Shoresy, elected to do an extended release. Right? Right. Right. We did two episodes each Friday. And then on the third Friday, Hulu and SBS got everything. Well, this year, they've done the same thing, except they've changed it up a little bit. So for the September premier, for Canada, for Shoresy. We're getting the first two episodes. Speaker 7
Mhmm. Speaker 0
And then it's one episode a week. Mhmm. For the next five weeks. Speaker 1
So everybody suffers. Okay. Good. Speaker 5
This is so dumb. Speaker 0
Because Hulu and SBS prefer the binge format, right, whereas Krave is trying to be like No. This is like appointment TV. We want you to talk about it. We want you to have time to sit on the episodes, let them percolate. Generate chatter, etcetera. Speaker 4
So let it marinate. Speaker 5
I suggest you let that one marinate. Speaker 0
Yeah. Let it marinate. Speaker 1
Let's get it. Okay. Well, thank you for that information. Awesome. It doesn't make me feel any fucking better about waiting. But I appreciate it. It's what I appreciate's about you. Speaker 0

And as we I'm also in talks currently to snag some Shoresy cast members for further AMAs. As we get closer to the premiers, really gotta get on top of that because we got two weeks, and I need at least a week to promo the shit out of one. So, yeah, you know, I, looking forward to it, but I'd also like the closer we get to it the more I'm like, that gift of, Barney from the Simpsons after he cleans up and he earns that award and they give him like a lifetime supply of duck earnings, like, huck at it tonight. Yeah. I'm like that for Shorzy. Come on. Speaker 3
Like Aaron. Speaker 1

Mike? Speaker 3
Yeah. I just, thanks for having me on. It was kind of a thing I wasn't expecting this week. But I was glad I was able to make time to talk about all things Shoresy and Fantasy Football related. So anytime you wanna have me on for a quick hit update, maybe like mid season, you know, we don't wanna saturate. But like a mid season update, I'll come back just for a couple minutes. I don't wanna step on anyone's episode, but, yeah, I'm just hoping to get through this dance. I gotta do tomorrow night, and then calm down after October. Where I can actually just do my first job instead of my two other jobs that apparently have now. Yay. Speaker 0
Yay. Trace. Speaker 2
Yeah. Tobias. Thanks for coming along. Always nice. Mike. I'm glad you showed it too, buddy. It would have fallen apart. Otherwise, that was my one big idea. I mean, Speaker 3
more than it did. Speaker 2
Oh, man. Yeah. We walk a razor thin line here. Oh, Speaker 0
okay. Yes. Speaker 2
But otherwise, it's Good to see everybody. Glad we were able to turn out some content for the channel, and I hate seeing missed episodes. But, yeah, good to see everybody. Speaker 0

I I always am like, I I'm like, I just said thank you to Tobias. Thank you, Tobias. So I just I I don't know. I I I appreciate each and every one of you and love how we build upon each other. Speaker 5
So More hands make less work. Speaker 1
Yeah. I agree. I too am thankful for all of you fine folks and for Al and Tanya and Matt and Victor for doing something else. So that we can get to do this. I miss them, but also we don't get to do this unless they take breaks. So breaks are good. And if you need a break in your life, you should take a break. Speaking of breaks, that's something that you should focus on, which is our song tonight, focus by Jodillo. Speaker 0
I'm a Speaker 2
plot. It's above that plot. Speaker 1
That's all we have for this episode of next week. I didn't look at the calendar. What's going on next week? Speaker 4
A bi week. Speaker 1
Is it been a bi week or no? Someone's going on. To tune in. It'll be worth it. Alan, the team will be back. Hopefully.
