Hello and welcome to the game theory podcast.

I'm your host Sam Vassini.

We are presented by The Athletic today on the show.

Dave Dufour is back and we're going to run through some of these early round one playoff games.

Dave, how you doing, man?

I'm good.

You know, you should not announce my name at the beginning. You should just wait until the end. Dave, how you doing, man? I'm good. You know, you should not announce my name at the

beginning. You should just wait until the end, see if we could trick a few people into listening

and then, and then tell them it was Dave, and they could be like, oh, I didn't even know. I wouldn't

have listened. Well, I feel like your, your voice is so ubiquitous on podcasts, like just period,

not even across the athletic,

just like anywhere, that people just know who you are at this point. So I don't think there's any tricking people. You know, I like to tell people, I'm not here for a long time,

so I'm here for a good time, all the time. So I've just basically like, you know, I've been

podcasting for like five years.

And I'm pretty sure that I've recorded enough hours of audio that they could replace Siri

with me, right? It just wouldn't be difficult. So Apple, if you feel like you want to throw some

money around, by all means, contact me, you know, reach out to the athletic maybe.

You know, see if we can work something out because I definitely have been talking a lot.

We'd love to get some, you know, residuals on all this talking I'm doing.

Well, I feel like you podcast a normal amount, like we said on the podcast with Ben Taylor, you're always ready.

You're always strapped with the microphone.

I'm not going to sit here and pretend like I listen to the podcast to hear what you guys said about me.
