Hey, L cheaters. Welcome to the Always Cheatting podcast. My name is Josh. I'm here with Brandon. Brandon, how are you? I'm fantastic. Josh, we are live from the Blue Wire Studios at Wynn, Las Vegas. Thank you to Blue Wire for hosting us here. Everybody here is amazing. For those of you listening on the podcast feed, feel for you to jump over to YouTube, search the Always Cheating podcast. You can see us live in living color.

We're shooting video here in the studio as well. Josh, do you feel like you look good? Yeah. We can see ourselves on the monitor here. I feel good. And if you're listening to the audio, we already get credit for the download. You know, so you can jump right in, jump right over to that YouTube. Right, right. So on today's pod, it's going to be the FPL team previews a continuation of last week's drop where we predicted the Premier League table teams 20 to 11 somewhat controversial. Are we going to ruffle a few more feathers this week? I think so, yeah. Leads in 19th. That has not gone over well. So I guess we had them 18th, whatever, in the relegation. They're still going down, unfortunately. Yeah. Yeah. So we're going to jump into 10-2-1. Just quickly, though, Brandon. I mean, we're in Las Vegas. We flew out last night. How has the Vegas trip been so far? Yeah, how is it? I think it's been great. I mean, we actually won money playing Blackjack, which we never do. So that's like a huge win already. I mean, it's all going to go away. That's not going to last, Josh. It's not going to last. We went shopping. So that was always fun. It's been a real soul-soothing weekend for us, right? Like, just guys shopping. That's true. I wasn't begging for like two hours of shopping today. But it was, we're both wearing new shoes. So there you go. We discussed advancements in virtual reality and my, what I think is the failings of the VR industry. Brandon, we'll talk about that later. I feel like that is a separate pod. I do think your ideas were actually pretty good. I'm an innovator, you know? So we'll talk more about that, maybe on an upcoming Patreon pod or something. So, yeah, and then, you know, tomorrow we're going to be watching the, I guess it'll be like at 9 a.m. here in Las Vegas, or we're watching the Charity Shield. Yeah. Which should be really instructive. The Community Shield, Josh. Yeah, didn't they used to call it the Charity Shield? I feel like that's what they used to call it back in the day. Yeah, did the word charity somehow fall out of favor? I think they stopped giving the money to charity. And so now they don't call it the Shield anymore.

Right, at all. Yeah, did the word charity somehow fall out of favor? I think they stopped giving the money to charity.

And so now they don't call it the Charity Shield anymore.

Right.

It all goes to far-flung oil barons now.
