the do do do bo-boo-bo-t-t-t-t-t. Hello everybody and welcome to the Sleeper and the Bus. This is episode

0:28.0

number 135 and very happy to have with us today, an expert on injuries of the, especially in how they affect fantasy properties.

0:40.0

And that is a Jeff Zimmerman of fangrass very delighted to have him here today.

0:43.8

Jeff how are you doing good today?

0:46.3

Excellent excellent. Really excited to have him on and to offer some some valuable

0:51.8

insights into some of the situations that are going on today and you
