Xavier Worthy made his glorious return, but we lost Malik, neighbors, and everything else we saw in week four.

That's what we're talking about today on stealing bananas.

I'm Ben Gretch.

You can find the stealing signals newsletter at fenggress.com with me as always is Sean Siegel

from his new location and find all of his great work over at Rodeviz.

Got some concerned questions last week, Sean, about no episode.

You were not feeling particularly well. I got some people

were worried about me because you ended up doing, uh, Rodeviz overtime. They're like, you good? Um, but no,

really, it's, it's just a scheduling thing. It's a timing thing. We do the Sunday night shows because

obviously I write all day for stealing state bills on Monday and Tuesday. So in the past,

we've done Sunday night shows or we've done later in the week.

Later in the week became tough for our schedules this week as well.

I wound up going to three pretty huge sporting events in the Seattle area.

I went to two Mariner games as they clenched their first division in 24 years.

My favorite baseball team. And then my you know Huskies hosted Ohio State. Saturday, tough

loss for them. But my schedule got pretty busy in there. And then you were doing some stuff as well.

So we just weren't able to navigate a late week episode either.

We're going to have to do an in-season,

2026 first and second round,

catch-up episode here pretty soon later in the week, one of the times.

We always like to do that after a few weeks.

That would be a fun one i was thinking
