| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Fantasy Throwdown Podcast. |
| 0:04.8 | Bringing you the latest from the world of sports, DFS, and gambling. |
| 0:10.5 | With over five years of hot takes and millions of downloads later, |
| 0:16.2 | I guess he's been doing something right. |
| 0:18.6 | Now, sit back and listen to one of the sharpest minds in the game. |
| 0:23.4 | Here's your host, Dwayne Calendar. |
| 0:29.4 | Okay, folks, we're jumping in with an emergency episode of the show because of how |

| 1:33.7 | So we're going to bring my dad out here because, like, we got to talk to this some more, |
| 1:37.0 | but this is absolutely absurd. |
| 1:39.6 | But, and again, I was talking about this before, lost in all this, is the fact that Eli Manning is also not going to the Hall of Fame this year |
