Hey, all cheaters. Welcome to the always cheating podcast. My name is Josh. I'm here with Brandon.

Brandon, happy pre- Thanksgiving to you.

Thank you, Josh.

Yeah, being up here in Canada, I was asking my barber, what's the difference between American Thanksgiving and, or I said Thanksgiving and Canadian Thanksgiving.

And they said, well, we don't call it Canadian Thanksgiving for one. It's the first reused joke of the pod. I literally used that like three days ago at the pie. I think that was pre-recording. So that doesn't count. We'll put that in the original joke column. That's true. It was new to the listeners. It was not new to me. It was like when your spouse tells a story that you've heard many times before and you're

like, yes.

You just have to suffer through everything I say, Josh, for sure.

But I'm feeling good.

Yeah, it's like starting to feel like festive FPL suddenly.

Yeah, that is true.

The moaning international breaks for a couple of weeks.

And now all I can think about is how it's going to be nonstop FPL, festive fixtures, etc.

For weeks and months to come.

I'm looking forward to it.

This weekend was, I guess it was okay.

I mean, I'm almost definitely going to end up on a red arrow in the end. I think I'm like, I actually was on a small green before. But, you know, you're the one who's kind of surging now, right? And I feel like, I mean, you know, a couple things went well, but I think it was really the big thing was Pedro Poraopora right and yeah and i think you sort of leaned

into something that you've we've been talking about a little bit which is that it's just really

not a in especially well i i suppose i actually did make a plus expected value uh defender move this

week uh bringing in gabriel uh for arsenal but uh you but that was kind of forced because

trent was injured uh but i think in your case, you debated some defender moves, ultimately decided, no, all the options are bad. I'm just going to start Pedro Poro and hope something good can happen, right? And that's worked all great. That's precisely it. And sometimes this works and sometimes it doesn't. I'm not going to profess to be a genius.

But yeah, I had planned to start Kansa, Mikolenko, and Anthony Robinson,

four home fixtures, four decent defenders.
