What is happening? Welcome. Welcome to an episode of the craft, a very special one.

An old friend with me today. My name is Nick Pollock. And, well, it's not quite a fireside chat.

But it sure feels like one today with the wonderful Paul Sporor as our guest. Paul, thank you so much for taking the time.

Nick, it is wonderful to talk with you.

Yeah, it's very, very fireside-esque.

We were talking about, you know, how our schedules have gotten a bit unruly,

and the fireside has maybe gone by the wayside.

But then, right before we hit record on this,

we said maybe we got to do once a month.

So we'll have this one.

We'll actually have two this month because we'll have a trade deadline one.

And then maybe down the stretch we do, you know, August, September.

And then, of course, in the off season just so that we stay connected because we're both crazy, busy all the time.

And at least getting that one hour a month, I think would be great.

But I'm happy to join you.

Thank you so much for having me on, filling in for one of my favorite people in the universe.

You're an excellent guest, by the way. The fact that you've been able to get that guy.

I know, he's such a guest. I mean, you can't really Yeah. You are the guest. Yeah, to book him so consistently as a guest,

it's impressive. I've got good people, you know, I've got good people. I respect that.

I respect that grind and that hustle. So what we're doing today as we get close to that trade deadline.

You guys that don't know, Paul Spore and I every year, I think for like, what, five years now, six years?

Yeah, we've been packing them on now. We do a trade deadline extravaganza. I live streamed.
