Hello and welcome to our newest supplemental concept idea regulation takes. I am hosting this. I can't believe it. I am joined alongside Eric, Gavin, and Nick. I'm excited to hear some takes. Let me explain the takes format before we get going. We have all prepared takes, which are stances and which we feel passionate about. We will share our takes one at a time. I'm not sure how many will do this first time we're doing it. Who knows how long this is going to be? I'll have to figure that out. You'll see, I guess you'll know going into it, you'll see the timer. But we don't know. So we'll all say our takes. Then after this comes out, I will put out a poll on our Patreon, which is the regulation pod. And you can vote on who had the worst take. And whoever has the worst take or takes gets the idiot flag till the next episode. Dean the idiot. But it's not a draft. It's not a draft. No. I'll be honest. I was, I was like 80% sure you were somehow going to call a blindside and we'd be doing fricking ratty. No. Because this sounds like a fake idea. Oh, this is so far from a fake idea. This is like the most popular idea in any show format ever.

Oh.

Yeah.

This is a,

I could tell it was a real Andrew idea because this is the closest we're going to get

to like sports media.

You know what I mean?

Like this is so close.

Hot take, first take,

like that kind of thing that I, it read is true to me all the way.

Well, until we do a March Madness bracket.

Right.

True.

Yeah, but this is, again, not a draft.

The first thing Gavin asked when he got here today is this a draft.

He reassured him, no, it's not.

The pool is takes.

Yeah, the pool is takes, but also there's no real pool because it's not a draft. So, Andrew, how many takes are, I mean, we'll go one at a time, but how many takes are we going to be giving each? Well, that's the thing. I don't know how long it'll take for us to go through everybody's takes. It'll be interesting to see. So maybe we'll do one each, maybe we'll do two each.

We will state our take and then you can sort of defend or maybe people just agree. And it's the support of the take. This is a thing I largely wanted to do because I have a take that I think about all the time that I don't know how else to put it like there's this can't be a draft

This isn't really a podcast subject

So I had to create a show

Around being able to discuss this take
