0:00.0	Hey, L, Cheaters.
0:17.5	Welcome to the Midway Point of Game Week 21. My name's Josh and her with Brandon.
0:22.8	Brandon, how are you? I'm good. It's like the Dune part one and two of game of game weeks, right?
0:29.8	Yeah, yeah.
0:30.2	Thinking like, oh, really, this game week didn't end today? We have to wait a whole other weekend to see how this game week shakes out.
0:37.0	I know. It's like that Spider-Man, the new one that they just did last year where there's like five minutes left to go. And you're sort of thinking yourself, I don't know how they're going to wrap all this up. And they're like, oh, wait, they aren't. They're going to stretch this thing out into a whole other movie, or in this case, a whole extra weekend. So we're halfway through.

1:33.9	where the goal was just to, you know, just to score, score, and, you know, so what do you,
1:39.8	kind of initial thoughts on Game Week 25?
1:43.6	Before we can get into the FPL stuff, what did you just think about the matches themselves this weekend? Were you, um, were you entertained? Are you annoyed? Uh, you know, I was largely entertained. Yeah. I think they were, they were good games.

2:03.9	Then you get to Chelsea Fulham.
