Brooks's careful studio curation is tested against playoff eligibility. Waddle, Josh Allen, the Mighty Ducks, and Jacksonville survive inspection; DeAndre Swift remains by Mike because the Lions eliminated Green Bay, and Mike is told he and Swift must finish the postseason together.
The hosts clarify that Kyle lost the final producer Fantasy Faceoff and Al merely hitched his wagon to him. The Owl is compared to Back to the Future's chicken trigger because he cannot turn down any bet, no matter what is proposed.
The desk declares itself in charge but says the rest-of-show costume rule is above the hosts and chiseled in stone. They then 'accidentally' hit Fantasy Faceoff early, watch Slack fill with insults, and tell the producers that the long mailbag means the timing is now out of everyone's control.
Kyle spins past Mighty Ducks, pirates, and Spartans to land on producer cosplay. The producers dress as each other: Kyle receives a comfortable Owl mask, while Al squeezes into a rubber Borgogan face, asks whether his face is straight, and immediately makes suffocation part of the episode.
Mask removal is declared a firing offense even when Deucer Cam is off screen, and Brooks is ordered to cut back randomly. The feed checks Al for a medical problem, later catches him drinking through the eye mesh, and records his explanation that he obeys because he needs a job.
The season closes with exact loss totals: Andy ten, Mike four, and Jason three. Mike also owns double-digit first-place finishes and is formally declared the year's DraftKings winner.
Asked what happens off mic, the hosts describe rankings, app, and UDK work, then claim they only stopped playing foosball because they became too good, leveled into the Hall of Fame, and beat the game before pickleball took over.
Jason says he neither asks nor wants to host now, but his microphone experience made him the host at launch when Andy's father was effectively the entire audience. Andy began as color analyst, then built such a long Iron Man streak that Jason's eventual substitution simply restored an old role. Mike says he arrived expecting to host for levity but now calls Andy world-class.
Freshman Andy meets junior Jason in Spanish, where Jason is already the room-taking comedian. Fantasy basketball follows, including Jason receiving Shawn Marion while Andy takes Rik Smits. They reconnect through Jason's MySpace game company; Andy joins, the business moves into Facebook and iOS games, and fresh graduate Mike is hired as audio engineer after presenting at an IGDA meeting and handing over sweet music on a CD-ROM. Nearly a decade of work and workplace fantasy football leads directly to the show.
During the sports-movie answers, a host repeatedly calls the Mighty Ducks merely fine, then admits the opinion is only bait because saying it makes Kyle die a little inside. The crew confirms that it does.
The hosts say fantasy basketball was considered because it began Andy and Jason's relationship and all three love the NBA. They stayed football-only to remain sharp, accurate, and undiluted, while leaving open a future expansion through other talent. A listener's Borg-and-Betz proposal is rejected because the company would still need to find talent.
The show previews Tuesday's Footie Award winners and asks Brooksie for the voting URL. Brooks answers, but the hosts belabor whether Footie ends in I-E or Y and explicitly admit they are making the close longer for Al.
A direct-video opening card introduces the Deucers' alter egos: Brooks as gavel-wielding Judge Giamatti, Jeremy as hammer-carrying Owl Borland, and Kyle as the monster-collared Borgogon. Brooks opens as the studio's playoff-wall curator, surrounding the desk with Josh Allen, Jalen Waddle, the Mighty Ducks, a Jaguars helmet, and DeAndre Swift, whom Mike is ordered to keep watching after their fantasy season ends. The episode then turns the final Deucer's Alley Fantasy Faceoff loss into an extended punishment. Al hitched his wagon to Kyle because the Owl cannot turn down a bet; the hosts deliberately trigger the segment early, insist that the rest-of-show costume rule is above even them, and watch the producer Wheel land on producer cosplay. Kyle receives a comfortable Owl sleep mask, while Al wears a tiny rubber Borgogon face with eye mesh but no breathing holes. Deucer Cam repeatedly checks the punishment: mask removal means firing, Al asks whether his face is straight, needs a snorkel, is checked for a medical emergency, drinks through the mesh, and says he needs the job. Direct-video checks confirm that the masks remain on through the later producer shots. The final season ledger gives Andy ten Faceoff losses, Mike four, and Jason three, while Mike earns the DraftKings crown with double-digit first-place finishes. The AMA supplies substantial show history. The office says it retired from foosball only after leveling into the Hall of Fame and beating the game. Jason explains that his earlier microphone experience made him the original host when Andy's father was effectively the only listener; Andy began as the color analyst and built an Iron Man attendance streak, while Mike joined expecting that he might host but now calls Andy world-class. The founders then tell the longer origin: Andy met older junior Jason in freshman Spanish, Jason exploited him in fantasy basketball by trading Rik Smits for Shawn Marion, and they later reconnected through Jason's MySpace-to-Facebook-game business. That company needed an audio engineer, so recently graduated Mike handed over music on a CD-ROM at an IGDA meeting and joined the pair for nearly a decade of video-game work before their shared fantasy-football habit became this show. Kyle's Mighty Ducks devotion is tested when a host calls the movie merely fine, explicitly because that makes Kyle die a little inside. Finally, the hosts say they considered fantasy basketball but kept a football-only focus to avoid dilution; when a listener proposes Borg and Betz for another sport, the desk says it would still need to find talent. The closing Deucer Cam shows Kyle comfortably watching while Al still suffocates, and the hosts stretch the Footie Awards URL explanation specifically to prolong Al's punishment.
Well, you found it. You found the most shameful episode of the season. We have a special version of shame this week for our producers, and we are answering all of your questions. Anything you have asked, nothing's off limits. Enjoy. This is Kyle Ushik from the San Francisco 49ers, and you're listening to the Fantasy Footballers podcast. to the fantasy footballers podcast with your host, Andy Holloway, Jason Moore, and Mike Wright. Oh, welcome in. You pointed at something. Yeah, Josh Allen, up on the wall. There he is. Actually, it's a picture of Josh Allen. Yeah, it's not actually Josh. He's busy right now. He's got some things to do. We said, hey, we got a wall. Do you have some, you got a couple of moments, you can just be on the wall.
He's flexing up there and we're getting ready for the NFL playoffs, Mike. I've heard. You wouldn't, you wouldn't expect Brooks to not take care of this studio with his kind of particular careful glances. He makes sure that we've got, we've got like Jalen Waddle over here. He's in the playoffs. We've got Josh Ellen up on the wall in the playoffs. Yeah, well, how do you explain? The Mighty Ducks were in the playoffs. Yes. Yeah, there's a DeAndre Swift over by Mike. Because the Lions kept the Packers out of the playoffs. Oh, he's got his explanation. But what's he doing, stinking up my corner over here. I think you and him are kind of yoked together this season and you have to finish it out. You know what's funny? I thought it was over. I was told the fantasy season was done. You're watching the playoffs with DeAndre Swift. What's funny is, as you said that, I looked at the rest of the table. And the first thing I saw was the helmet.
of the Jacksville Jaguars. I was like, oh, you didn't update. Oh, wait. Yes, that's right. I just assume the Jaguars are not in the playoffs because they're the Jaguars, but congratulations. Congratulations, Jacksonville fans. You're, you're in it. I, I really liked, I saw some super cut of Jags fans watching the game and a t-shirt. I had never seen before and I never heard this before. Maybe it's, it's common out there, but it was, uh, remember the Titans suck. Oh. That's funny. Look, if you're going to dunk on a team, that's a good one. When there are lots of Jacksonville fans in their stadium cheering them on, that's a good thing. Because that's not always been the case. And that game, when it got going, when it got to crunch time, that place was rocking. So that's one of the more exciting games this week. I think we'd all agree that one could be, that could go either way. Yes. So we'll talk Super Bowl picks on today's show. We're going to make our picks.
We've got some NFL news to talk about. We're doing a footballer's AMA today. So we're answering all of your questions. I have, Brooks, I've seen none of these yet. So they're all going to be on the fly. I don't, you know, do I need to prepare any sort of answers? Am I going to embarrass myself? No, I mean, maybe, but the football did a great job. Okay. And then keep it there on deucers cam. I'm not interested in seeing your face, Brooks. But the other two gentlemen in our producer booth. are going to be mercilessly shame today. Shame. Because they lost the fantasy face off, the final fantasy face off of the year. And by they, I mean Kyle. And then Al just hitched his wagon to that, that man over there. Owl, like, you know, back to the future, it's no one calls me chicken. Yes. Yeah. If you ever make a bet. And you're like, hey, Owl, I bet you that it doesn't matter. Yeah, he's in what it is. He just, he can't turn down a bet. Mm-hmm.
Yeah, so they'll get shamed. Fantasy face off today, closing that out for the season. You can follow us on Twitter at the FF Ballers. We are on Instagram. Instagram.com slash fantasy footballers. We're on TikTok. Keep up with the talk, Mike. Oh, yeah. The tick and the talk. That's right. YouTube.com slash the fantasy footballers. Subscribe. Click the bell over there. and the communities at join the foot.com. If you want that extra show, right now we're down to two shows a week as the season comes to a close, you can get a third over there, the mailbag episode, the footcast at join the foot.com. So today's quick question, we'll get right into it. We were talking about the playoffs. Who is your Super Bowl pick? I find our three answers very telling because we all have a different Super Bowl champion.
Well, I don't know if that's ever happened on this show. I don't think it has. Never happened before where we all three have different champions. But what's ironic about that is that we all have the same side of the bracket winning. So we don't even have the other person's champion in the Super Bowl. I'll kick it off here because mine is right. Ah. And so if you're listening, you want to know who wins a Super Bowl, it is going to be the Buffalo Bills. They will beat the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl. It will be an excellent one, but the playoff experience that Josh Allen and the bills have gained, getting a little bit further every single year and then the brutal, you know, rule changing heartbreak in Kansas City. This is their year. The bills will win it. And I stand by that and I will be right. Well, at least you didn't equivocate there. Mike, who do you have winning the Super Bowl?
I have the Philadelphia Eagles getting in there from the side of the NFC, but I have the Kansas City Chiefs as the winner. Patrick Mahomes will get his second. I think, so we all have AFC winners. Yeah, well, because the NFC is stinky, stinky doo-doo. And there's certainly more experience on the AFC side compared to the teams that would be going in, right? So from the NFC, you would have Jalen Hertz his first. you know, opportunity in the playoffs. You know, if you see San Francisco getting there, which is who I take out of the NFC, it's going to be Brock Purdy, right? I, my heart gets, I don't think, like, it's, it's not crazy at all to say that the 49ers can get into the playoffs as a team. They're outstanding. They've won 10 straight games. They're extremely well-rounded. But my heart, which still lies with Trey Lance, I still.
choose to believe with I mean like I'm up against it I have absolutely no proof at this point I just have hope and it floats but if Brock Purdy is in the Super Bowl with a chance to win I am going to be in a full panic attack the whole time well I'm taking San Francisco I think they're going to be just too resilient too difficult to move the ball on I think the game plans going up against Philadelphia assuming that's the title game which who knows But that's what I'm going with out of the NFC. And then I, just to piggyback your thoughts on the 49ers as your NFC pick, when I saw my answer in here, because we made brackets and Brooks put the answers in, I was like, wait, I didn't take the 49ers? I was really, really close. Yes. But I am going with the team with the most recent Super Bowl experience from the AFC, the Cincinnati Bengals. I think they're playing the best football at the right time of year.
They have that mix of weapons that I think will be very difficult to stop in the playoffs by any defense. Now, my rooting interest to start the year was with Buffalo. So honestly, I'd love to see Buffalo win it. I don't have like, it's not me saying I want Cincinnati to win it, but it's who I think will come out of the AFC. So we have Bengals, Bills, and Chiefs, three heavyweights, only one spot in the Super Bowl. Yeah, Cincinnati's won eight consecutive games. Is that right? And then San Francisco 10 consecutive, both playing their best football heading into the playoffs should be an interesting one. And if you want to join our NFL Playoff Challenge group, it's completely free, just a fun thing we do for the playoffs. You can go to Footclanchallenge.com. And that's kind of a, it's a fun fantasy style game where you select a player at every position from.
teams and you know you can even choose players from the bi-week team and every week they survive in the playoffs you get a multiplier for their points and uh so it's part picking players and it's part picking teams that you think will move on it's just a fun thing to do in the fantasy is a car beeping what's going on the NFL playoffs all right I just guess he's not at practice hey hey oh man Mike don't break news without this drop oh please News and notes from around the league. Gus Edwards not seen at practice. So no Gus Edwards. He's still dealing with concussion. No Tyler Huntley. Oh my gosh. No Lamar Jackson. Oh, Baltimore. It's been reported he's facing an uphill battle. Yeah. And like, I'm not sure that this game isn't the biggest blowout of the weekend. I think maybe even more than Buffalo, Miami. I'm not even, I mean, it's right in contention. And Baltimore fans.
We, as Arizona Cardinals fans, we know this pain as we have watched our, what was a Super Bowl contending team. 13 and 3. Get into the playoffs. Have our second string quarterback kind of push us over the hump to get in there. And then our third string quarterback was the one who started the game. Was that again? Was it Lindley? Ryan Linley. Was it Ryan Lindley? Was that who it was? Yeah. It was bad. He's actually, he works at Staples. If you want to go. Look, he, I mean, bless his, bless his heart. He did his best. It was, it was, oh, man. So Baltimore good luck. Anthony Brown. Anthony Brown started this last week. It was, it was a rough outing for him. He's got more like a frown. I mean, goodness gracious. He did.
When you're a third string quarterback, you just really don't belong in the playoffs. This is the time of year you want a player like Anthony Brown to kind of jump on the back of Deshaun Jackson and Sammy Watkins and get you across the finish line. How are they this good though? It's great coach and great organization. You've got a lot to overcome this week on the road. Yeah. Tua Tunga Vailoa ruled out. So probably not seeing Tua again this year. No. Skyler Thompson is going to start. It's now the largest spread in wildcard playoff history. Buffalo is the 13 point favorite. They're projected for like 28 points. I think Miami's at 15. So Skyler, you've got history that you can make in this game. And then we got a report. This one will be interesting to talk about for fantasy purposes because, you know, we've talked a little bit of dynasty fantasy football recently.
Mike and Jason, they've brought up, you know, you can look to the future. You can look at situations where players are departing and who's the next man up. We have a report from the score, Jordan Schultz, saying that the Cardinals plan on trading DeAndre Hopkins. From an organizational standpoint, it's something we've talked about here. We're in Phoenix. We've kind of said they need to do this. If you're rebuilding, you've got Kyler coming back with the injury. You need draft capital. He's an older. star wide receiver. But if DeAndre Hopkins leaves, you know, you're looking at a situation where Hollywood Brown is the leading man in Arizona. But, but, you know, talk about the tight-in situation. Talk about Ron Dale Moore if he can stay healthy. And the name I wouldn't to bring up was on my, on my dynasty squad, because we're at the, you know, I'm starting to look at the rookie draft of how many spots do I have where it is a clear.
I can just drop this player because I don't see a path to true relevance. And I got the Dorch just sitting on my squad. And a couple weeks ago, it was, well, when the rookie draft rolls around or maybe a free agent or something pops up, Greg Dorch seems like one of my easier drops. Not anymore. Not anymore. I believe he's a restricted free agent. And... I think he played well enough now that if they do trade Hopkins successfully, Greg Dorch may be a starting wide receiver for the Cardinals next year. Yeah, and it also bumps up, uh, Trey McBride. You've got Zach Ertz had a pretty massive injury at the end of the year because it was so late in the year, you just go, oh, he's got, he'll miss the rest of the year, whatever, but.
He might not be back in time. And it was an ACL and MCL for Zackertz. Yeah. So that's for at his, at his age, he's not going to have a fast, speedy recovery to get back on the field with, you know, Trey McBride getting the opportunity looking good at the end of the season. Mike Williams, not seen practicing on Wednesday. Whoops. And the jets are parting ways with their O.C. Michael Floor, according to league sources. Yes. Manders also released Turner. Turner, right? Yep. None of us remember his first name. Scott. Scott Turner. You're just short-hand. Yeah. That's good. Did you just go Scott Sterling? Yeah. All right. Yeah. It'll be interesting. It's the off season. It'll be interesting to see what happens. For Scott. For Scott Turner. Does he like, I think he's okay. He was not working with a lot. Like Carson Wentz, great at getting people fired. Yeah. That's true. Yeah. I mean, it's one of his.
It's one of his hat on it. Currently one of his top traits. Is that on the back of the sports card for Carson wins now? Yeah. Coach is fired. I did have a question before we close out the news and move on to the mailbag. If you were to like pull people around the office, simple question for fantasy footballers here, would you say like who is in charge? Who is the of the podcast? I would say us. Yeah. So like who gets final say on what happens? I mean, we kind of the three of us. I mean, we take, you know, we could do whatever we want. Yeah. So if I hit the, the fantasy face off button right now, that would be within my authority. Like if we wanted to. Huh. Punish them and then make them. Sure. Maybe last a little longer. One rule that we definitely could not change was once you're shamed.
Once you put on the outfit, you're shamed for the rest of the show. Right. Right. That's for sure. That's above us. Yeah, that's at the top. That's chiseled in stone. Yeah. So just don't hit the button. Don't accidentally hit that. Oh, no. Fantasy Face Off, presented by Draft Kings. Oh, man. The slack is blowing up. So we've got. We're being called some things. We're being called some things. Let's slide over to docious alley. Let's get some live reaction to the news that you will be spinning the wheel of shame right here right now. Now we still have a nice big mailbag section to go on the show. Sorry guys. It's out of our control now. Kyle, how are you feeling? We decided that we're just going to wear our shame proudly. So we feel good about this going in. So delusion. How are you doing over there, Al?
Less proud than Kyle. Less proud than Kyle. I'm ready. Let's go. All right. Let's spin that wheel. Wheel of shame. There it is. Kyle's going to spin the wheel and both Al and Kyle. Mighty ducks. We're doing mighty ducks, right? It has it's fun. Okay. The wheel is spinning. We had mighty ducks, pirates, Spartans. Oh, producer cosplay. What could that possibly be? Let's find out. That sounds like a lot of fun. So if for those of you listening and we'll we'll take this time as they get their outfits on, uh, their shame. Oh, wait. So they're dressing up as each other. Oh, how cute. So Kyle is. Oh. Kyle is an owl.
Oh, Al. Al got the worst. Yeah. Kyle's is really nice. Owls is not nice. Is my face on straight? Al's a demigorgian. Oh, man. I didn't realize this is what was happening. I was going to say. So suffocation is now in the cards. Brooks, if I fall over. Oh, man. You sound great. You sound great, Al. Thank you. Oh, that sounded pretty good. Yeah, that's not too bad. So you guys look good, by the way. Very good. Kyle's ready to go to like one of those costume parties. I will not be able to help. Neither of us will be able to help this episode. No, no, no. That's fine. It's off season. Um, but you can, you could help out with a Kubrick movie over there. That's right. Eyes wide. Shame. Um, so we've got, we've got the.
The final draft king segment. If I see a mask off, you're fired. Yeah, for sure. If this camera goes away, those masks stay on. And all through the show, you need randomly to be going back to dozers out. Oh, I already gave Brooks that information. I said, you got to go back over there. I need a snorkel. Yeah, you're in trouble. So this is our final segment. So to wrap up this awesome year of Draft Kings, we wanted to take a look back since we won't be here next week to talk about lineups for this coming week. We are going to look at how the season went. Who's the winner? Who's the loser? And, you know, I think when it comes to this data, some of this won't be very surprising. The most losses.
On the year was Andy. What? Yes, Andy, you had double digit losses. It's impressive. They had 10? You had 10 of them. Mike, four losses. I had three losses. So we had a, if we combined, we almost got there. Which is what everyone at home knew already. So thank you for that information. Yes. I just want, I mean, this is the wheel of shame. So I'll be back next year in great form. I believe it. I think I came out a huge winner in the fact that I only was shamed three times. But the big winner, if you look at just who came in first, Mike, you had double digit victories. Oh, baby. In first place finishes.
Congratulations. I declare you this year's draft king's winner. Love it. All right. You guys look good over there. Yeah. Wait, hold on. Also, for this weekend, we've got a couple DFS things going on that are pretty special. You can go to ballersdFS.com. That's just where you can always join our league and see what little contest.

He has too much control and say and wants a really healthy organization. So, sorry. But I do love the fact that we are at least, you know, trying, going after him. You got to try. Will you feel better when we don't hire him that we at least interviewed him? Absolutely. Okay.
into the mailbag we go. Mailbag. And by the way, ask me. The two very shameful producers, I could have made you both do the mailbag right there. It crossed my mind. And I didn't. That's how much I love you guys. Yeah, we care. Now put on your little suffocating mask and do your job. I really hope you learned a lesson that if you want to hit your wagon, you hitch it to the ballers. official the, you know, we, we knew we were going to take him down. But then I would have lost the first time I hitched my wagon. That's true. Because Kyle beat you the first time. That is that is. Ah, incorrect. Kyle beat me. That was the mistake. All right. We are into the mailbag. And it's going to be fun. We, we have a lot of questions that were submitted on social media.
Brooks has compiled them. I have seen none of them, but I guess we also have a voicemail. If you have a question for the show in general, you can go to the website, click the submit a question button, the fantasy footballers.com. You can dial the voicemail hotline 302464 TFFB. Let's jump into that voicemail. Hey, this is Sam. I love your guys. I have a question for you. It was to be fully grown out who has the best beard in the group. Thanks, guys. All right. That is an easy. If grown out the best beard. Yeah, I mean, it's not me. No, for sure. What's funny is I think all three of us would say not us. Yeah, but it is Mike. Yeah, it's right. I just, because I, you, you can see it right now. Like my beard is grown out, but my, and like, I'm proud of my beard. It's, it's, it's a good beard, but it has, it has deficient. It has weaknesses. Yeah. If, if we're, if we're extending, it might be owl. Al can grow a pretty nice beard here. Oh, that looks really nice. Well,
Now, is that before or after he visits the barber to get it touched up? Probably before. Well, today's turned into a very interesting day. Borgenoni. I mean, you got a strong beard back there? I like when my hair was grown out, but not the beard game. Okay. All right. I don't know what he looks like. Here's the thing about beards, fellas. Let's go for it. I just, my problem is I've tried to grow it out further. I keep it like kind of low, right? But if I. try to go. I grow too much down in the Amish region. Yeah, the neck. Usually the chin is the stronger part of the... And it just grows so thick there and it's so spotty in the upper cheek. I feel like mine's that way too, but eventually you just power through. You power through it. I've never pushed through far enough. All right. This question comes in from Twitter from Dynasty Dufus. Okay.
Which one of you has the biggest potty mouth on the show? Well, on the show, none of us. We keep it squeakingly. I think we're, I don't think any of us have a, a significant potty mouth. I would say on the pickleball court, maybe me. At a son's game, definitely mine. You were going to change the pickleball court? Look, if we're at a sporting event, Mike. It is definitely me. Mike in the NBA finals. Oh, man. He channeled like seven years worth of profanity that I'd never heard from his mouth into one quarter. You weren't going with Jason? No, I would save me. I think we all have our pickleball moments. Yeah. Yeah. It's just a matter of how it's going. It's kind of like. It's never celebration. It's kind of like the Vegas thing, right? Like what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. What is set on the pickleball court stays on the pickleball court.
Yeah, that's why it's the sound isolation in there. Yeah. No one, no one's all here. Instagram question from Scott says, what music did you guys listen to as high schoolers? Oh, go ahead. It's high school. High school. I mean, I wasn't going to let that go. The fact that it was the word high schoolers. Like, not even, no joking. Yesterday, my middle son asked me, has your voice ever cracked? While you were talking on the podcast, of course it has because everyone's voice, they just, your voice cracks all the time. I told Al, I was losing my voice earlier today. I just didn't know it would be on the word high schoolers. High schoolers. For me, I had two groups of music and that was all I listened to. Nothing else. It was either the, like, 90s alternative grunge rock type of music.
or it was hardcore gangster rap. That was it. That's all I listened to. How are we doing, Al? Are you all right? I see you struggling over there. Like, is this a medical situation? Because I don't want to be like live streaming an issue. I'm doing all right. Yeah. Excellent. All right. I don't know. He's a professional. He would never tell us. He'll power through. That looks like a real small mask for your size head. I'm going to be honest. Yeah. So I would say alternative was pretty much what I listened to and like. junior high high school bush bands like that a lot of punk rock and a lot of indie rock all right instagram question from aaron crawford what happens in the office when podcasts aren't being recorded oh nothing are there moments when we should close it down is how to see are there moments when we're not recording something uh yeah i mean sometimes we are uh obviously prepping for a show doing all of our in season we are
non-stop packed with, you know, rankings and doing all the work that we do behind the scenes to make the show effective and efficient. In the offseason, we have more time to, you know, we work on the app, develop those type of things. UDK. Yep. We play some foosball from time to time. We got too good at that. Like, we just kind of leveled up and out of it. We kind of were just in the Hall of Fame. Yeah, that's the word I was looking for. We beat the game. We beat the game. You know, the replay ability is okay. But, you know, we've kind of taken a break from that now that pickleball's taken over. Quick break back with some more questions. This one comes in from Jeremy. It says, when will this show be over? Just a quick 87 more minutes. No, this one comes from Tommy. He says, is there a reason Jason never gets the host when Andy's out? Is there a reason? No.
