First of all, to all the folks that posted at Highline, thanks to Highline, RXR in Crystal City last night, just so much fun. One of those really cool nights where you just reminded how neat this whole thing is, how unique this whole gig is, right? Where these folks that are take time out of their days to listen to us, consume our content, don't hate our guts, would want to post and hang out with us and, you know, draft the fantasy football team. It was awesome, man. Just a really, really cool evening. So huge thank you to everybody that came. Thanks again to Highline and everybody that made that possible. Really cool. 14 team, Grant and Danny Listener League that we drafted last night. I posted a couple of pictures on Instagram. You want to go check them out at Grant H. Paulson, because a listener named John came, who is a photographer. Brought his camera and hung out with us and did skits and bits all night. So that was really, really cool of him. But yeah, the venue itself Highline R&R was awesome. So thanks to them and our buddy Christian works with the station here on the sales staff set it all up. How hospitable were they though to hook us with food? Just the greatest. Nice little buffet style opportunity to eat whatever we wanted all night long. And the food was delicious. And then the dozen listeners that are in the league, including the defending champion, John, it was toting the trophy around. Good luck to all of them. I believe only one failing score on drafts from Yahoo. Chris and Hyatt's Phil. Yahoo gave him an F minus, which I didn't even know was possible. I've never seen that. He told us at one point he was doing two drafts at once and he drafted like it. I think there were times where he thought we were like five rounds later than we were. He's like, oh, it's the second round. Are there any backup tight ends to fail? He's like, I need a second tight end. I was like, yeah, you do. But we'll see. I mean, bold strategy, Cotton. Maybe he knows something that we don't. Overall, just a really, really fun time and props to Daris for setting the whole thing up. He got us the old school boards and the stickers to kick it like it was 1995 with the fantasy draft. So really, really a cool event. How incredible is that trophy by the way? That trophy is phenomenal. Shout out to a dance center's yacht tracker. The yacht tracker. The yacht tracker, Lil Yachty actually got that trophy. He tracks yachts. That's one thing he does. The second thing he does is provides enormous and excellent fantasy football trophies. We should probably have given him money for doing that. Just one day he's like, hey, I made a trophy for the league. We're like, okay. That was really nice. Yeah, nice art project, buddy. Then we saw it and I'm like, oh my gosh, this thing is incredible. And I was like, he must have won the league. Let me look it up. No, he didn't even win the league. Nope. He just put someone else's name on the trophy. So that was very, very nice of him and very cool. But yeah, awesome night. Nats were on TV getting a win all over the bar and we were yelling at each other's picks. You and I shared a team. Yes. We were shared a team. We really leaned into the No Running Back strategy. Didn't, I mean, didn't start that way, but it ended up that way, didn't it? We never had a plan. Yeah. We didn't meet or anything. So I don't know if we can't say it wasn't our plan when we didn't have a plan. But yeah, there were no running backs for us until like round sevens. And somehow there was a team, Kristin's team, actually drafted a running back after we did. She was also doing the No Running Back. Which is incredible. So I mean, we, so we had picked three and, you know, okay, went up with Tyree Kill. Great. No problem. With a 14 team draft, you're sitting there going, all right, let me look at my watch, 20 some odd picks later before it gets back to us. If you've ever received a handoff in the NFL, you were selected. Right. Here we go. Here we go. You're running backs. Let's dance. Let's see what happens. I was stunned by the volume of RBs that came off the board early in the G and D listener league, but to the entire crew that came out and the listeners, even that stopped by and said a low that we're not in the league. We thank you very much. Very cool. It's awesome to spend the evening with you guys every now and then.
