**Andy Holloway** (2:14)
Welcome in. Tuesday, August 18th, The Fantasy Footballers, rated PG for today's episode.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:36)
For pretty good.

**Mike Wright** (2:37)
Yeah, they, great news.

**Andy Holloway** (2:38)
We have to release a rating now.

**Mike Wright** (2:40)
Great news, we did not get removed.

**Andy Holloway** (2:43)
From the internet? From, what did he say?
Well, that, yesterday had some moments in it.

**Jason Moore** (2:52)
That was, you gotta go watch that show.

**Kyle** (2:54)
That's a hot show. Woo.

**Andy Holloway** (2:57)
Yeah, just, you know.

**Kyle** (3:00)
What did he say?

**Andy Holloway** (3:01)
It was wild.
It's another day, it's another day of injuries. We'll get into it on the news. We always have to talk about injuries. It is annoying. But we have.

**Mike Wright** (3:14)
Let's hold off on that as long as we can.

**Andy Holloway** (3:16)
Yeah, we have a segment at the top here, Performance Climbers. We've also got sleepers on today's show, Sleeper Picks on the show today. So that's very exciting.

**Mike Wright** (3:26)
These, we got some ambient sleepers for you today.

**Andy Holloway** (3:30)
We have some like deep sleepers as they...

**Kyle** (3:33)
We're going after it.

**Mike Wright** (3:34)
Calling some shots.

**Andy Holloway** (3:35)
The rim, a lot of rim. R-E-M, R-E-M.

**Mike Wright** (3:39)
Yeah, I was one...

**Andy Holloway** (3:41)
A rim sleep, like a lot of rim sleep.

**Jason Moore** (3:43)
Yeah, I got there.

**Mike Wright** (3:44)
Wouldn't they call it rim?

**Jason Moore** (3:46)
Yeah, that was the issue.

**SPEAKER_4** (3:47)
Rim.

**Mike Wright** (3:49)
Now you said rim.

**Kyle** (3:50)
Rim? Goodness gracious. Eyes and E's.

**Mike Wright** (3:54)
You were saying rim a lot.

**Andy Holloway** (3:56)
Pronunciation has become a bigger issue on the show than ever before, and I don't know why that is.

**Mike Wright** (4:01)
I was, dude, I'm like, basketball, rim, double rim. It's hard to shoot in the park.
I have no idea where Andy's... I don't know where Andy's going with this one, but it was rim.

**Andy Holloway** (4:13)
Rim sleep, yes.

**Mike Wright** (4:14)
Not to be confused with the band.

**Andy Holloway** (4:16)
R-E-M.

**Mike Wright** (4:17)
Yeah.

**Andy Holloway** (4:18)
It does seem like the end of the world right now. We're falling apart. The UDK for Life giveaway is going on. You still have a chance to get in there. We're going to do a live stream next Monday and give away a UDK for Life, Andy's sign, Jamar Chase jersey, and probably some other swag and fun stuff like that. ultimatedraftkit.com.
This has been requested.

**Mike Wright** (4:47)
I'm not sure why this gets requested.

**Andy Holloway** (4:53)
So, if that doesn't persuade you.

**Mike Wright** (4:56)
I don't see the appeal, but people love it.

**Andy Holloway** (5:01)
There you go. So, we have a lot to cover today. We had a big signing in the world of the NFL, and it will have implications.

**Mike Wright** (5:10)
They did it in the cover of Darkness, too.

**Andy Holloway** (5:13)
What was that about? What's funny is we never, like we have a Slack channel for all the breaking news, and anybody in the company that finds it can put it in there. Nobody ever linked an actual article in the channel last night. It was Jason breaking the news.
