For all your fantasy football needs, check out the Ringer fantasy football show with me, Danny Kelly, along with Danny Heifetz and Craig Horlbeck.

That's the Ringer fantasy football show on Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Hello and welcome to Group Chat, I am Justin Perrer and joining me stepping out of his closet in a pair of boxing gloves to prepare for this podcast.

It's Rob Mahoney, what's up buddy?

Is that the energy you want to bring to this podcast today? Because I thought this was going to be a genial affair.

I thought we were just going to have a great time talking basketball together, Justin.

But if you want to fight Ala Dillon Brooks, or at least Shadow Box a little bit, we can do that.

Do I want to fight? It seems like you do.

Me?

Yes, I would say the past six months of podcasting would suggest that yes, I enjoy a good tussle every now and then.

I would say so. Was there a turning point in your life? Did something happen that brought this out in you?

I would always say I have like a Kobe energy to any sort of slight, smaller or large.

And so I would say that was pretty baked in from the start there. Maybe it's gotten worse as time goes on, but maybe you tell me.

I think we all get worse as time goes on, you know, just like whatever our most eccentric qualities are, they get magnified over time.

And this is it for you. You're only going to get more combative from here.

Great. Something for all of our listeners to look forward to then.

Why is my favorite combatant unfortunately is not with us this week.

We're doing a little bit of a wife swap here, a little trade off right before we get into the thick of things.

I mean, there's so many other ways you could explain that.

You know, I mean, I guess you're the partner here. So you decide whether or not you're offended by it.

I would say we're doing like a, you know, a feba group play round robin situation, you know.

Oh, interesting. Very topical, very European of you after spending so much time abroad.
