Hey everyone. Welcome to the Yahoo Sports Fantasy Podcast. I am Liz Loza. And today I am joined by Matt Harmon. Matt, thanks for hopping on.

0:16.3

My pleasure, Liz. It's a good time to be alive and talking about fantasy football.

0:21.3

Isn't it a good time for you to be alive right now, though, Matt? Because I feel like,

0:24.9

I feel like you're struggling. I'll just say I'm all right. I'm all right. You know,

0:29.3

nobody's, I'm not in the best shape of my life anymore, but that's what happens when you start

0:32.5

preseason, you know. Right. You're missing the hashtag. That's cool. No big deal.

This is what I do for a living.

1:32.3

So I contacted Zach and said, hey, if it's cool with you guys, I can draft for her.

1:38.3

He said, yes, please, that sounds great.

1:42.3

Then I got in touch with our wonderful boss and manager, Jason

1:48.1

Clavaca, who some other, if you've ever listened to the old podcast we had, you're familiar

1:54.4
