John I'm doing well man I'm doing well I took my my two days of recovery after the draft just literally slept for like I don't know 36 of the last 48 hours

1:44.0

But we had a really successful draft in terms of draft props that had a rock solid mock draft again this year so now excited to do something different

You know we did draft like hit it so hard for three weeks you know just three straight weeks there leading into the draft and now we're going to transition into hardcore fantasy stuff
