But yes, Steve, this is one of our favorite episodes.

It is the chalkboard episode, which for those of the OGs who have listened to Wins Above

Fantasy since 2020, this is our annual show where we call out our targets and our fades for the

season. And this year we have a second time in a row, we've done this, a pitchcon prize winner special

guest who joined us and added his targets

and fates. So we'll play that at the end of the podcast tonight. But Steve, it's here, man. Opening

week, I know I've, I took the day off work. I'll be golfing with some friends. We're going to,

we got our whole lineup from like 2 p.m. Central all the way till 10 p.m. on

whose houses we're going to it's a little annoying there aren't games earlier and throughout the

day but that's fine uh overall we've made it through the off season man how's it going yeah this is

this is great um the the best way for me to describe this is opening day for me.

It's the feeling that you got on Christmas morning when you ran down and like opened up all your,

and saw all those presents and just were in awe of everything as a young kid.

That's what opening day is like each year for me as an adult.
