0:00.0	Hello and welcome to episode 1524 of The Sleeper in the Bus.
0:21.6	It is Friday, July 24th.
0:23.6	I'm your host, Paul Sporer.
0:25.6	Join this morning by Justin Mason.
0:27.6	Justin, hello.
0:28.6	Good morning. How are we doing?
0:30.6	Not too bad.
0:31.6	We are just over a week away from the deadline.
0:34.6	It's not next week.
0:35.6	It's not a week from today, as you might think it would be the 31st. They moved it to a Monday. Why'd they do that? That's so mean. That's so mean to us fantasy players. It's really annoying, honestly. Like, I understand, like, it's a Friday. So it would have been so awesome. I think it would have been awesome. We have all the weekend, like, for the fantasy, again, I'm thinking completely fantasy purposes.

1:46.7	right on um but i also think the uncertainty of next season gives teams that might be you know more willing
1:59.1	to kind of wait it out and see the reason to say like hey we need to go for it
2:05.4	because we don't know what next season holds for us right so like if you're a team you know maybe
