Welcome to the Fantasy NBA today podcast. Today's show is a gift from me to me.

What the hell does that mean?

That's a very reasonable question actually. What the hell does that mean? That's a very reasonable question, actually.

What the hell does that mean?

It means that I had three play-by-play gigs

over the weekend, so you can probably hear it.

And my voice is a little bit tired.

This is not a complaint actually I want to tell you guys kind of a very short quick

anecdote that I thought was slightly amusing.

So I think most of you that have listened to the show a long time know that I am

Would you call like a semi-retired play-by-play broadcaster? I still do a few things in and around Los Angeles

County it's super fun I it's a great way for me to kind of get out of the house and

go watch sports I do division 2 college basketball play by play. I do some

Division 1 baseball play by play for colleges around where I live. So Loyola

Marymount is kind enough to have me out a couple of times.

USC is where I was over the weekend.

Trojans, that one's a pretty cool feather in the cap.

But you know nothing like when I worked in the minors when it was 140 games and 152 days.

So my voice isn't really where it used to be.

Doing this podcast every day is something but you know talking for 45 minutes on a pod where I can

actually pause the show if I need to take a drink of water or just let it run like this and nobody can stop me. It's a little different than you know talking for like three hours straight with

yeah they're commercial breaks in there but it's it a lot. And you got to get super excited.
