Hey, L. Cheaters, welcome to the always trading podcast. My name's Josh. I'm here with Brandon. Brandon, how are you? Can't complain, Josh. Can't complain. Can you complain?

Well, I was and I shouldn't have. That's really, that's really where I am. I mean, I must be like the least sympathetic person in fantasy. I know it.

Like, this is like, it's like become my brand. You know, it's like

guy who does incredibly well and just like never stops complaining? It's like, who would

like that person? You know, I'm, I'm aware of it. It's hard. I feel like there's, I feel like there's

like an onion headline way into this with you. Like area man plays, area man's fantasy team is never good enough i know it's it's

true i mean it's it's ridiculous and i uh yeah i you know again i've said that we've said this before in

the podcast you know the make fantasy fun again uh sort of mantra of the podcast is an aspirational mantra in some ways,

right? It is a, it is an approach to fantasy that I, I mean, both of us, I think, I really want to

aspire to and don't always succeed. And this is a weekend where I didn't succeed because I

wild-carded. I had put up 71 points. I had a green arrow. I'm

25,000 in the world. And I spent the entire weekend, like, basically, like, mad at myself for all the choices I didn't make. It might, you know, it was like, I just couldn't, like, be happy with what was there. And it was just kind of, and I was like, I sort of recognized it, like this afternoon where I was like, Josh, like, what are you doing?

You know, like things went pretty well.

So I want to give. kind of a and it was like I sort of recognized it like this afternoon where I was like Josh like

what are you doing you know like things went pretty well so I want to get into obviously we want

to talk about where you landed with the wild card team and the players that you have and how they

did this week but yeah what is it about a fresh new wild card team it's especially difficult to watch your wildcard team because

is it because of all of the players that you could have had um because you had some players

some players you brought in on a wildcard just simply didn't work out and that they either didn't

play or they didn't score right but i think your grievances are more with the players that in hindsight, you're like, ah, I should have had them. And hindsight is just, it's a whole other fantasy game that we play. We all have our, our quote, real fantasy teams and our heads that, you know, well, that's the player, you know, I know I should have.

It's just, just through unfortunate events. I don't have Rudeau. Didn't quite work out, exactly. So, yeah, I mean, I think, I mean, it's a little bit like wild card is a little bit like Game Week 1, right? Where practically everybody in Game Week 1 has, they put a team out there. And then just because the game launches usually a month or two before the season starts,

practically everybody, week one has uh they put a team out there and then just because the game launches usually a month
