Hello and welcome to episode 1480 of the award-winning Sleeper in the Bust.

I'm your Ellis Paul Sporer, joined today by both Justin Mason and Joe O'Riko, gentlemen, FSWA.

We had the best baseball podcast of the year.

We won the award yesterday.

Congratulations, gentlemen.

They are not wrong.

Congratulations go predominantly to the two of you, and I'll speak for Jason there.

You guys put in so much work on this show.

You've been doing it for so long.

You grind multiple episodes.

It's phenomenal work.

And I'm really grateful that you guys ask me to join.

So this one goes predominantly to Mr. Mason and to Mr. Spore.

Thank you so much.

But Justin pointed out a pretty interesting trend that we have noticed with our victories.

Do you want to explain what our victory pattern has been thus far?

Well, the last time, and I think the only other time this podcast is one podcast of the year

was, I believe in 2018, which was the year after I joined the show and replaced Dino.

And then you joined this year.

And now Joe's joined kind of like in the last year.

So we're going to need to bring someone else on if we want to keep this. At some point, we may have 17 people on this podcast. It's just a rotating, yeah, cast, just to keep getting the awards. You know, Vlad Sedler just joined the team. I'm just saying. I know. We've got guests coming. I know you guys been working on some guests. Going to be getting those those booked for the for March run. So maybe one of those guys or gals sticks around forever because we

went an award with them. Who knows? But thanks so much to FSWA for voting us. I really appreciate
