Hey, L. Chaters, welcome to the outstreet podcast. My name's Josh, we're here with Brandon.

Brandon, how are you? Doing well, Josh. The World Cup Minute is now in the rearview mirror.

Goodbye, Qatar. We're looking ahead now to Fantasy Premier League. The Premier League kicks back off a week from today on Monday, December 26th.
