We interrupt this transmission to bring you another segment of Scott Bors , reads five star reviews .
Speaker 2Got 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 3Scott has a lot of football .
Speaker 2I think fantasy football is like a digital .
Speaker 3It's like where you pretend .
Speaker 2Yeah , you pretend you have football a team .
Speaker 3You pretend that it actually relates to your life .
Speaker 1Yeah , I was never athletic .
Speaker 3I mean , I know nothing about football , I don't either .
Speaker 2We go to a lot of football games .
Speaker 3These days we do and I still know nothing about it .
Speaker 1I was in a fantasy football league at work at Mercedes back when I worked for Mercedes .
Speaker 2Did you do a lot ?
Speaker 1of 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 3People get so crazy about it .
Speaker 1They talked me into it . I'm like , fine , okay , I don't know anything about sports .
Speaker 3You're going to hold a gun to my head .
Speaker 1They 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 2Anyway , 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 3That's a pass . You guys definitely need a sponsorship .
Speaker 1I 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 3She was like , okay , yeah no problem , it's going to take five minutes .
Speaker 1We're like an hour in now . She's like oh my .
Speaker 3God , 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 1We appreciate it , even if our spouses don't .
Speaker 3Thank you .
