Brandon. Brandon, how are you? My name is Josh. I'm here with Brandon.

Brandon, how are you?

Doing great, Josh.

I just said before we started for Britsia Romano voice, here we go.

Game week one is in the books.

The season has launched.

Are you feeling my stomach, just like as a lot of people's do as you're settling your game week one draft, just like was as a lot of people's do, as you're settling your game week one drought, just like it was hurting a lot on Thursday and Friday. Yeah. And it just feels good to have this under our belt. We'll obviously talk about how we did and what our outlook is going forward, but, uh, good or bad, right? How are you feeling? Good. I mean, it's, yeah, it's kind. And I started to think at the end of last week as I sort of felt my team sort of morph into something that was very similar to a lot of other squads that I saw. I think ultimately for the better in most cases, you know, I think the story I was kind of telling myself was, well, the game really starts in Game Week 2. Like, that's when you're making really your own decisions. I think early on, and I think maybe that, that stomach churning feeling you were talking about. I mean, I think we all, we all feel it because it's, you know, you just, there's a lot of, you have a lot of drafts of your team, right?

It's like you sort of guys. And then other things which is kind of funny is like you, there are other players that I, I feel like I just sort of threw in

that I should have given more time to.

You know, like I had,

I had, is like there are other players that I, I feel like I just sort of threw in that I should have

given more time to, you know, like I had Mason Mount and I sort of just built a story about what I

thought Chelsea would do in that match. And, you know, I feel like I wasn't maybe, I was being

a little stubborn about that because he was certainly not the favorite pick among i test among the data people among anybody really and it was just i just wanted one

player for me you know and uh it just you know so he's so and then the fact that it didn't work out

actually makes it very easy for me because now i just get to kind of happily move on for him

uh you know mason mouse performance i thought was kind of interesting because I was watching along with some of our

friends and somebody who was like just messaging us is like,
