What is up?

Welcome to another edition of the NFL fantasy football show.

It's me, your man, M.G. Marcus Grant, fully vaxed, still dodging all the variants like Neo in the Matrix, and hoping that, I don't know. I keep saying I hope that we're getting close to the end of this thing. I feel like this is just going to be with us forever, and we're going to figure out sort of how to live with it as best as possible. Either way, the good news is football season continues its steady drumbeat

toward the start of week one. I got another fun show for you today. Of course, producer

Justin is alongside as he fins off the haters in Titans Nation on Twitter. I see you there. I see

him there. He's battling all the folks who are nays saying what Mike

Vrabel is doing in training camp and fight the good fight, man. You do what you do, man. I appreciate it.

But anyway, we are continuing our summer cavalcade of fantasy stars, which actually I think

this may be our summer finale of the fantasy stars.

We may have other folks on, but this is kind of it for like the one-on-ones that I've been doing this summer.

And I feel like this is a great way to end it.

We're doing it with a guy who is not just a friend of the show, but an actual friend,

a guy that I talk to every day, a guy whose work you know if you have been in the fantasy space for any amount of time. He is smart. He is funny. He is a guy that I have, you know, I look up to his work. I'm just going to be honest with you. I appreciate what he does, and I take his word for it. It is Mr. Reception

Perception himself, the one and only Matt Harmon. Pal, I mean, I talk to you all the time, but it's

good to talk to you in this format. It's good to talk to you here, man. Smart, funny, and you

appreciate my work? I mean, my God, Marcus, and like, finishing the series with me, I would have personally finished on like a stronger note, but that's just me, but not, man. I appreciate you have me. I'm excited to talk with you today. Well, you know what's funny, though, I feel like, and correct me if I'm wrong, because years and years ago, when you first got into this space, you were doing your own podcast called The Backyard Banter. If I remember right, I don't know if I was the last one,

but I know I was sort of near the end of that series, because if I remember correctly, I think

you recorded that your half of the interview from like a hotel room in like New Mexico

or something. That sounds about right. That sounds about right. Yeah, no, that was my first, I think that was my first summer break, you know, the, the, the, the, the lovely summer break that some of us got at the NFL, you know, it's like being a teacher, basically. Right? Like, I got my summers off. How nice.

But no, like, yeah, so that was what I did during that summer.
