So Rich, I know with these cold opens, we usually go back and forth. We have a conversation.

0:04.2

There's no conversation today. I'm just going to tell you a little story, something that happened

0:07.3

this morning, dropping my son off at daycare. And as I drop him off every morning, he kind of gets

0:13.0

a little upset and cries at times, which I appreciate. I'm cool with, right? Because that means

0:18.3

that he loves me, right? He doesn't want me to go. That's fine.

0:21.6

So it usually only lasts like 30 seconds or a minute or so. And so I walk out the door and I go to the

1:12.1

you the way that I'm looking right past Jared Gough in my season long leagues this year.

1:16.4

I'm JJ, and last year I tried my hardest to become a best ball bro. I drafted over 500 teams.

1:22.5

I talked to some of the most successful bestball players in existence, and I admittedly had

1:26.7

mixed results. So this year,

1:28.8

I'm going to chase that title once again. My plan is the Max Enter Draft King's Millionaire Maker,

1:33.5

and I'm going to document all of it while talking to the brightest bestball minds on the planet.
