Hello and welcome to group chat. I am Justin Varyer and joining me, Rob Mahoney, Jay Kyle, man. A lot of action to get to you today. We're doing the redraft speed run. We're doing five drafts going through the top five picks. So we don't have a lot of time for banter unless Rob, you want to say something hilarious before we get started here.

I got absolutely nothing. I think we should just jump straight into it. Well, people have been

clamoring for an accounting of the mid-off, I will say. And I did crunch some numbers here.

I think it's very close. We should clarify for those not familiar. The mid-off, Justin and I have made a bet. What was the origin date of the bet, Justin? January 14th.

Like, you didn't want to wear costumes.

You don't wear costumes for other podcasts, right?

I would never do such a thing.

Uh-huh. Yeah.

It depends on what the costume is, you know?

So, Kyle, the long, and the long-term group chat listener would know that Rob would refuse to wear anything.

Like, we did the live show with the Pacers jerseys, and he finally conceded to do that.

We wanted, I think the Celtics bet I was like, oh, you should wear a leprechaun costume.

Well, that's offensive to my culture.

I'm not a caricature.

But Rob just refuses to wear anything.

I think for Halloween, no dressing up, right?

And then I opened my Instagram the other day. And I'm like,
