Ben Standing is with us, as he is every Monday and Friday.

At Ben Standing on X, he has a substack called Last Man Standing.

You should subscribe.

Costs hardly anything, and you get Ben's

everyday reporting and covering of the team. He's got a podcast also by the same name,

Last Man Standing. You can get that anywhere you get your podcasts. So the day after the schedule,

reveal, first of all, real quickly, like, this has now gotten to the point where it's so anti-climactic when we get to, you know, 8 p.m. on the night that they've said they're going to reveal the schedule, because pretty much anybody and everybody have seen it and leaked it.
