We interrupt this transmission to bring you another segment of Scott Bors, reads five star reviews.

Speaker 2 0:08

Got one from X 29 FTE fantasy footballers of aviation. I don't know if our far aim heroes play fantasy football, but they are all the minor. Is that the one you kick?

Speaker 3 0:26

Scott has a lot of football.

Speaker 2 0:28

I think fantasy football is like a digital.

Speaker 3 0:32

It's like where you pretend.

Speaker 2 0:33

Yeah, you pretend you have football a team.

Speaker 3 0:39

You pretend that it actually relates to your life.

Speaker 1 0:41

Yeah, I was never athletic.

Speaker 3 0:44

I mean, I know nothing about football, I don't either.

Speaker 2 0:47

We go to a lot of football games.

Speaker 3 0:48

These days we do and I still know nothing about it.

Speaker 1 0:51

I was in a fantasy football league at work at Mercedes back when I worked for Mercedes.

Speaker 2 0:56

Did you do a lot?

Speaker 1 0:57

of I flipped a coin on everything and betted like $100 a month. Yeah, you ever make any money. I broke even pretty much, which says something If you're just flipping a coin, knowing nothing about sports, you break even. Everybody else was super serious about it.

Speaker 3 1:15

People get so crazy about it.

Speaker 1 1:17

They talked me into it. I'm like, fine, okay, I don't know anything about sports.

Speaker 3 1:23

You're going to hold a gun to my head.

Speaker 1 1:26

They broke even, which pissed a lot of people off who are like doing what they're doing their whole lives and understanding everything. I was beating half the people playing which is why it broke even.

Speaker 2 1:37

Anyway, from X29 FTE. I don't know if our far aim heroes play fantasy football, but they are the mirror image of those three highly successful lads Rob Scott, rob Lee and Scott's domain is the real world of aviation advice that makes that make believe world of a game A lot of us love to play and that Andy, mike and Jason discussed. But the dynamic of the three old friends bringing their different perspectives to all things Aviation is spot on informative Most of the time, irreverent some of the time and entertaining all of the time. I downloaded a lot of podcasts but there are only two that I ever really listened to. I'm sure you can guess which two. Somebody needs to give these guys a sponsorship, I agree.

Speaker 3 2:35

That's a pass. You guys definitely need a sponsorship.

Speaker 1 2:41

I feel like Nicole, your wife is somewhat impressed by the amount of five star reviews we have. I roped her in. I'm like, hey, we're going to read all the reviews. Five star reviews real quick.

Speaker 3 2:53

She was like, okay, yeah no problem, it's going to take five minutes.

Speaker 1 2:57

We're like an hour in now. She's like oh my.

Speaker 3 2:59

God, there's this many five star reviews. This is insane. It is impressive that people took time out of their life that they'll never get back to leave these reviews.

Speaker 1 3:09

We appreciate it, even if our spouses don't.

Speaker 3 3:15

Thank you.
