You guys are never going to believe it, but for the third time, I'm recording with a real-life panda.

Welcome to Fantasy NBA Today podcast, a sports ethos presentation hosted by yours truly, Aaron Bruske, and it's a panda watch, if I've ever seen one.

We're bringing in Mike Pasadour, hero of sports ethos, and we're going to talk about all things the week ahead. I'm probably touch on the Sun's new value menu. I'm told the Suns are selling hot dogs for two bucks or something. And I promise you guys that need the fantasy juice, like right away. You need it right now. You got to have it like this second. We will get right into the fantasy goodness. I promise you that. We got the calves are good. Milwaukee getting good after being bad. We got the Sixers mess. And then actually, before we get into all that good stuff and bring Mike in, it's been a pretty big week around here. If you haven't noticed, we released a Brucey 150 in the middle of the season, which we don't typically do. That's for sports, uh, probably sports ethos fantasy pass, uh, subscribers.

I'm all right, Aaron. Say something witty. No. That's a beautiful statement right there. What, um, so we want to get the value menu stuff out of the way or should we like interspers it in the middle of our episode? I think if we start with it, I'll just be thinking about it the whole time. If it, not that I won't be thinking about it the whole time. If we don't start with it, you mean? Oh, no, it's in my head, though, the whole way.

Just thinking like, wow, you can get a hot dog for $2 at a professional basketball game. Is that the only thing you can get for $2 is a hot dog? No, that's the thing. It's hot dog, 16 ounce water, but it's DeSani. So your mileage may vary. 16 ounce soda, a bag of chips and a bag of popcorn, all $2. The whole thing, I just, you know, this whole thing, and you still make money off of people with beer, everything else that's in the arena. It's like none of the fancy stuff went down, but like now, you know. It's a Costco theory. I thought this was a thing about Costco when we started, but it's a Costco theory. you get the dollar hot dog and people go to Costco get the the dollar hot dog and spend $500 on things I don't need. Like it's, it's beautiful. Right. Well, so, um, well, now you're, you're also capturing the people who like ate before the game because you're like, I'm not buying, you know, a $9 hot dog. But now maybe they'll go, hey, you know what, $2 hot dog, $2 soda, let's go. As somebody that just spent a ton of money inside Golden One Center during the King's game the other night, I am, I'm listening to all this. And I'm going to be sending feedback to Vivek. That's going to happen. All right, we've hit our requisite 60 seconds of BS. And now we're going to get into the week ahead. So for those of you who don't know Mike Passador, he's basically the best writer in the fantasy sports industry.

I would say that. into the week ahead. So for those of you who don't know Mike Pasadour, he's basically the best

writer in the fantasy sports industry. I would say that really confidently. And he's been working

with us forever. And he does a article called The Week Ahead. So we've got the best in the business

doing this. And yeah, other than that, he's won 30 deep two times.

That's something that guys like Rick Kamla and Docs won it a couple times.

But like, this is like their, there, what's the whale reference?

It's the thing he really wants and can't get.

The white whale.
