SF/LAR Recap + Week 1 Sit/Start

Matthew Berry (0:08)

Brothers and sisters, friends of the revolution, it is noon on YouTube, which means it's 5 o'clock somewhere. The Fantasy Football Happy Hour bar is officially open for the weekend. What's up, party people? It's your friendly neighborhood bartender, Matthew Berry here, ready to get you set for week number one. We have a great show for you today. I think you guys will let me know in the comments. Maybe it's a mediocre show. I don't know. Heart of top yesterday, Nate Rabbits, and we did the reunion show. It was a lot of fun. If you are a fan of the original 06-010 podcast and you missed yesterday's show, I highly recommend going to check it out here on the Matthew Berry YouTube channel or wherever you get your podcast. But we had a lot of fun with Nate yesterday. And joining me today is the man who not only thinks he can tout, actually can tout. It is Alex Cupps, the winner of the inaugural season of So You Think You Can Tout. He's a data scientist out of California. He's single and looking to mingle.

FantasyLife contributor, Alex Cupps. I made those last two things up.

Are you considered a FantasyLife contributor? Are you full time with? I don't know what. I just know you work for us. I know we send you money and you give us good fantasy stuff. Is that fair?

Alex Cupps (1:25)

That is fair to say. I am not full time at this point. I do still have a full time software engineering job.

So needless to say, this is the busiest I've ever been in my entire life. Full time job, working for FantasyLife as well, doing some really fun stuff over there. Very excited to finally be getting into the season, start kicking things off with you guys.

Matthew Berry (1:47)

Yeah, like here's my question for you, Alex Cupps. I also said you were single. Are you single? I don't know this for a fact. I just, oh, you're married.

Alex Cupps (1:56)

I am married. Yes, definitely not single. I've been with my now wife since our junior years in high school. So a while now. Yeah, very, very long time.

Matthew Berry (2:06)

Your junior year since your, wait, hang on for a second. Your junior year in high school?

Alex Cupps (2:10)

That's right. Yeah, 2014

Matthew Berry (2:12)

Holy crap. How old were you when you, so your junior year in high school.

Can I ask you something? I have to be honest with you, Alex.

Alex Cupps (2:19)

OK, talk to me.

Matthew Berry (2:20)

I want to get into this. I really want to. I want to get to everything, but it is like as the teetler returns, Alex Cupps, and by the way, I should also promote this before we get into this because this is fascinating to me. But you and I are going to be paired together because anyone that ever produces me is like, oh, you know what we should do with that old F Berry?

Let's put him with like some young good-looking guy that has a full head of lettuce as Stuntman Chuck noticed. So anyway, Sunday morning, every Sunday morning on the Matthew Berry YouTube channel, I think it's also going to be on the Amazon Fire TV, on the FantasyLife Fast Channel on Amazon Fire TV eventually. Won't be this Sunday, but we're getting it. It'll eventually be on Amazon as well. But you and I are going to do a Sunday morning show, at least for this first week. The Chompler. Nice job, Ruben. That's pretty good, The Chompler. I like that one. Anyway, you and I are going to be doing a Sunday morning show, noon Eastern. So we're going to do at least just one hour. Start it slow. We're building the ship as we're driving it, guys. But Alex and I will be answering all of your questions live on the Matthew Berry YouTube channel this Sunday, noon Eastern. So please tune in. We'll have a lot of fun there. But before I get into San Francisco, Los Angeles from last night, and all the Start Sit questions we have, the big questions coming up, we're going to keep it open and close it out for the week one slate.

So you were a junior in high school, and you're a software engineer. So my belief is that you're very smart.

Alex Cupps (3:52)

I don't know about that, but-

Matthew Berry (3:54)

No, you're definitely smart. But I bet you were kind of a nerdy kid.

I definitely was. I was a nerdy kid in high school. So now, and I know like with the kids today, being nerdy isn't how it was when I was in high school. So my question is, like, did you date a lot when you were a freshman and sophomore in high school?
