For adults with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis symptoms, every choice matters.
Tramfia offers self-injection or intravenous infusion from the start.
Tramfia is administered as injections under the skin or infusions through a vein every four weeks, followed by injections under the skin every four or eight weeks. If your doctor decides that you can self-inject Tramfia, proper training is required. Tramfia is a prescription medicine used to treat adults with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease and adults with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis. Serious allergic reactions, increased risk of infections or lower ability to fight them, and liver problems may occur. Before treatment, get checked for infections and tuberculosis. Tell your doctor if you have an infection, flu-like symptoms, or need a vaccine. Explore what's possible. Ask your doctor about Tramfia today. Call 1-800-526-7736 to learn more or visit tramfiaradio.com.

This episode is brought to you by Chevrolet.
Chevy drivers need a truck that shows up the same way they do. That's why Chevy Silverado is number one in manufacturer loyalty.
So they can go where others won't. Make their own way there and always get it done. And as long as Chevy people keep showing up, we'll keep building trucks that do the same. Chevrolet, together let's drive. Visit chevy.com/trucks to explore the lineup.

Welcome to The Ringer Fantasy Football Live Show. My name is Danny Heifetz and I'm joined by Danny Kelly, Craig Horlbeck and a few hundred of our closest friends.

**Craig Horlbeck** (2:45)
Thank you to everyone for coming out tonight. You know, Steven Spielberg, Premiering Jaws, Paul McCartney, Rolling Stones.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:52)
Radiohead. The list goes on and on. So we're kind of the necessary follow up to those people, I would say.

**Craig Horlbeck** (2:58)
That was just the beginning.
Honestly, bottom of our heart, thank you to everyone for coming. Like this never gets old. This is the coolest thing. Like seeing all of you guys tonight in real life, it's just as weird, probably weirder for us. Like it's, thank you for coming.

**Danny Kelly** (3:11)
We also want to thank Verizon. Thanks to Verizon for sponsoring tonight's event.

**Craig Horlbeck** (3:15)
Yeah, we're the Verizon people, yeah.

**SPEAKER_5** (3:17)
Hell yeah.

**Craig Horlbeck** (3:19)
Verizon's got an incredible NFL sweepstakes coming up next week, so you can check out the card on your seat for more details. And the other people we have to thank before we begin tonight, is all seven of the women who listened to the show.

**SPEAKER_5** (3:34)
Seven. Wow.

**Craig Horlbeck** (3:39)
Thank you for your service.

**SPEAKER_4** (3:41)
Bask in the light of the seven.

**SPEAKER_5** (3:43)
Light of the seven. There was a, someone has a shirt.

**SPEAKER_4** (3:46)
Where's the seven shirt?

**Craig Horlbeck** (3:47)
Right there. Oh my god.

**Danny Kelly** (3:49)
Crowd member of the seven.

**Craig Horlbeck** (3:50)
Unbelievable.

**SPEAKER_4** (3:51)
Wow.

**Craig Horlbeck** (3:51)
Wow.

**SPEAKER_4** (3:53)
Thank you. One of seven women is here tonight. That's a big deal.

**Craig Horlbeck** (3:56)
What are the odds?
So the, I think I forgot something. What? I forgot the thing.

**SPEAKER_4** (4:08)
What thing?

**Craig Horlbeck** (4:08)
I don't, can you vamp for like a second?

**SPEAKER_4** (4:13)
It's fine.

**Danny Heifetz** (4:14)
It's fine. It happens. When will you be back?

**Craig Horlbeck** (4:16)
I don't know. I don't know. Figure it out.

**SPEAKER_4** (4:22)
This is like when George and Elaine are alone without Jerry. They're like, wow, we've actually never hung out.

**SPEAKER_5** (4:29)
What do you want to talk about?

**SPEAKER_4** (4:33)
Every time DK and I are alone, all we do is just quote Happy Gilmore.

**SPEAKER_5** (4:37)
Is there a special thing? We can do it for a while, too. We took an Uber today and that's all we did.

**SPEAKER_4** (4:41)
That lady must have hated us. Happy Gilmore to us is like heat to Chris and Bill.
Where we'll just pick a different line once a month and be like, fuck, that's the best line in the movie.

**SPEAKER_5** (4:51)
Today was get out of the way.

**SPEAKER_4** (4:54)
Get out of the way, Mr. Gilmore.
