Howdy howdy ho and welcome to fantasy fanfellas. I'm Hayden, producer of the fantasy

fangirls podcast and your resident lover of all things Sanderson. And I'm Steven, your bookish

internet goofball, but you can call me the smash daddy. And we are currently deep diving Brandon

Sanderson's fantasy epic Missborn. But here's the catch. Steven here has not read Missborn before.

That's right. Hey, hey, so each week you'll get my unfiltered raw reactions to every single

chip. And along the way, we'll do character deep dives, magic explainers, and Steven will even try

to guess what's next. Spoiler alert, he'll be wrong. News flash. I'm never wrong.

Episodes come out every Wednesday and you can find fantasy fanfellas wherever you get your podcasts.

Oh, big news coming up last night.

637 pm mountainish time. Yeah. As the Toronto My Police fire their general manager Brad

Triliving, which is not totally surprising. Talked about it a bunch this year, miserable season,

miserable season, some trays that did not work out. There's still star caliber players on that

team that specifically Matthews. I still think Neelander kind of is what he is. He gets the

points. He's kind of quirky and it's when he's at his best, he's unstoppable. And then he'll

disappear for a game or two. And it's just kind of the way he is. But

rather than debate whether or not Triliving should go, I guess. Is there anything about the timing

of it that seems kind of odd? It's a game day for them. They're on the road. It's an hour or so

before the time before the game. I probably would have waited till after at least. It's kind of

some of the whispers were that he had a year left on his deal and there was a thought that they might

run him into the last year of his deal. If you're Brad Triliving, you probably don't want to have

the lame duck here, like give me clarity. Let's talk a new deal or get rid of me. And it sounded like,

you know, I guess I just met yesterday, time of day. If you're like, is there ever a good time to

gas guy? I don't know, maybe the end of the year you could wait, but I don't think wait and helps.

They went over the weekend. They did their internal audit and they came to their decision. If

you made your mind up, do it. I agree. Then they get one of the weird. But at least that person

could be watching and paying attention or maybe getting to know. And you know, the shoveler was

asking, well, that's what for your time. I'm like, well, if you look back, you can understand all

the moves he made and why? None of them worked out. None of them. Well, I don't know. And he ran

himself into the same corner as he did here. In Toronto. Now, was that his own doing it?

Was circumstantial to a certain extent. But you didn't you did the exact same thing in Calgary

and Toronto. Yeah, there's just a lust for physicality and veterans and his, I think like his team

would look better in a series than it would in the regular season. And he always talked about it here

where you need one type of team to get into the playoffs and another one once you're in there.

But if you can't get in, you don't get to show what this roster could look like. But

when you look at all the moves he made, they all have everything in common. Like he chased bigger,

heavier, more physical, gritty, older, slower guys. And when you subtract Mariner on the other

side and all of a sudden the goal tending turns into pumpkins and you run into some injury troubles,

which happens more to physical, old defense men than young ones. This is what happens. And when

you looked at his mistakes here, it was similar stuff. If you feel you're a piece away, you're willing

to pay more for that piece. They thought they were a piece away when they went and got Travis

hammock. They weren't a piece away. And he was not the piece they thought he was. They thought

they were a piece away when they signed James Neil and they went and got Troy Browell. These

weren't bad players. They just all cost more than they should have. And when even when you see him

go out of guy like Cali yarn croak at the dead one, you're like, why is he even up all these assets

for Cali yarn crop is not even a natural center. So you're going to play at sea in the playoffs.

Like, and know what you have to know that yours, your, your cupboards were not stocked in Toronto

to begin with. No, there are a few prospects and picks. Yeah. Because, you know, it's got a lot

in good player. But what they brought him into be wasn't where he was played. And they paid too

much to get him. Brandon Carlo, a lot of people when his name was in rumors, the flames were actually

listed as oh, maybe Kurt Connors, you can tell us in Carlyard. Really? Why two years left,

money's low, right shot, the big physical. Okay, I like the player. But again, you gave up a first

only top five protected and a prospect that's now playing top six minutes of center ice for Boston.

You just paid too much. It wasn't that he got bad players. It's just if everything, if you're

going to lay out a buck 25 for every dollar, you got to spend it any time you get something back

and trade at 75 cents, all of a sudden the cupboards are empty and you're not that good. And the

Mariner one was tough because he has one year from when he arrives to when Mariner's full-mo move

kicks in. And it felt that year like they had progress. If not for weird injuries,

the migraines to nail Nielandar, the starting goal he going to hurt, like they lose in seven

and round one in a series that they easily could have won if they just were a little healthier

or had a bounce or the number one goal he was healthy. Then they lose in seven to the Panthers last

year, a series where they had twice at home chances to put a stranglehold in the series. They lose

both those games that that team was up and in a position to take a stranglehold in a series against

four against a stranglehold. It was the real wild freaking series, wasn't it? Yes. And so you could

understand the sentiment of we're not that far away. But then when you try to move Mariner for

Rantin and that doesn't work and now it's like, okay, well, he's got all the cards. I just

feel like there was enough of a track record here with Goodrow. Like that the Mariner's

things shouldn't have happened to him again because it felt very similar. Walking a guy to

UFA is dangerous. Yeah. Your top one of your top like and and when you have the last year of his

deal where he's got a hundred percent control of the trade, your hands are tied and it's it was

it would have been an incredibly tough call to make at the end of June two summers ago. Yeah. Because

that's when they had to make that call and it was coming off the heels of a series that they felt

never seen Brad make is those tough calls. Brad has made the calls of I'll go for it. God bless you.

He but he's he's got no issues making the I'll go for it call. Yeah. But he doesn't have he has

many issues not going for it. And I think Holden's steady. I agree with that. I think also

to understand the situation he's in, you don't roll into the Maple Leafs. So I think what was

a nine years in a row making the playoffs, a hundred points almost every year. And you don't say

Oh yeah, you know what we're just going to move out Marner for some firsts and kids like

that's not on the table. You're going to contention with a shit a year ago. Why not?

Because they're going to a window to win a cup in theory. You've got Matthews in his front.

I argue the other side. Like I'm telling you you're not I know and I'll say bullshit they

hadn't won a series. They don't win in the playoffs. So you're trotting it out and if you can't

analyze that squad and their shortcomings. And the fact that your cupboards not stock and the

fact that you were in Calgary and sold the fucking farm to win there and it didn't work out.

Then you haven't learned. I'm not saying it's a tough decision and an awkward decision. But

that's exactly what he should have said when he got there. When they were hiring he should have said

I will have to trade this guy. Are you okay with it? Because that's the only approach. That's our

piece of the puzzle. And instead what you do. And maybe there's some similarities to the

Coriad here. Like for as much as we look back and say, man, you had Monahan, you had Bennett,

you had Gadro, you had Lindholm, you didn't have D or Golten, you're not going to win.

Yeah, I thought they had D the one year there. But sure, the point being is that group never

made the playoffs two years in a row. So you can look back and fantasize about how good that team

was. They weren't that good. They'd years were the one the division. They'd years were their

tops. All the more reason to learn from it. Right. But it kept leaving them in these positions

where most seasons he was a buyer. And I think he spent too much as a buyer at deadlines.

That was his approach. You didn't have a lot of years you had to sell. Like when he sold

Glen Cross, I thought he did it really well. When he sold. It's not like this year at the deadline.

I was in this cell for first and a second. That's why I always say it's like and it's not a shot

that don't need to bring Conroy in. But when you're selling and bringing in picks and stuff,

that's the easier. That's the easier move. When you're trying to build a winner and you're

giving up those assets, the bring in pieces that will fit and there'll be chemistry and will make

you better. That's the real challenge. And he did not. He did well. Where is it works? And I'm not

on a broader spectrum. League wide. Where is it worked? We're trading everything. You know what I

mean? Who's done it? Well, the teams that win consistently built Florida did a hell of job.

They went and picked up a bunch of guys, but that was still a long process.

Where is it being where a team like Toronto has got effort? I'm going to

that first, that first, the first in our top prospects are all gone because I need these guys.

And that's the difference. Yours. I don't think it does work. If you look at the top,

if you were going to list six contenders in the league, almost all of them would be teams that

almost every year move their first and their prospects to get better players. That's how Dallas

goes. How did they know, but how did they become elite? Well, you obviously through the draft

get to a point and then once you're right to your notes. But you could like, here's the greatest

conundrum with Toronto is that there are a hundred point team in the regular season. And then every

year and round one, they get the lightning. The Panthers are Boston. Those were three of the best teams

over the last decade. I'm not building excuses. You're not the best team. If you can't beat it,

which is why you're willing to move that first to go get the guy you think gets you over them.

See, and I think that's the exact opposite. That's what Florida's done. That's how they got

Seth Jones. That's how they got Brad Martian. That's, you know, they went got Seth. How they got

Sam Ryan as those winning and going to the finals. They've got the second couple of those guys.

The first without Sam Ryan Hart's a big part of the first. That's the same situation. You move

your first. You know, but first in the Kachak deal. Yeah, like it's what contenders do. That's

that one's such a flyer. Wow. Okay. But they also picked they picked that flat at one. They took

barcoff barcoff early and it was a long it was a long process. Yeah. And they they were geniuses

along the way. When you get just love forzling off waivers and he turns into like a number two

defenseman. Harder for Hage. Toronto is very similar to Edmonton where they should be it

have more to show for what they've got. And they've missed the boat because they've tried to slap

stick gold turning together just like Edmonton. They've added bit pieces just like Edmonton.

And it was a fucking turnout. Yeah. Yeah. Like you're thinking Adam Henryk and it's not

it sounds it's always a cheap shot because I don't like Edmonton. But Adam Henryk's not the

difference maker. No, they're first and of whatever to get him in there. They just use another

for you can't find somebody in your organization to play Adam Henryk's role. Then you're short

coming yourself. Like that's I totally agree. I both things are true. You need to be able to

develop your own talent. And when you're close by all means move your first like that's the penguins

dynasty was built on that state. But you need to get to that point. They didn't win the cup

because they moved their first and brought somebody in. They won the cup because

Crosby, Malcolm, Flurry, and all these other guys were really good. They got the gold tender

came in and played well, right? I don't I don't like we understand why Colorado just traded two first

and totally but it makes sense. They're close enough. You justify the picks late enough. It's like

you're going to be picking 28 to 32 here. Who cares? But you're not winning the cup.

Howdy howdy ho and welcome to fantasy fanfellas. I'm Hayden producer of the fantasy

internet goofball. But you can call me the smash daddy. And we are currently deep diving Brandon

Sanderson's fantasy epic Mistborn. But here's the catch. Steven here has not read Mistborn before.

Episodes come out every Wednesday and you can find fantasy fanfellas wherever you get your podcasts.

That helps. I think they've did it with caught. Let's call her out. Oh, for example.

They don't win the cup because they trade their first and bring in Nick Wah or Roy or whatever.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. They win the cup because Nathan McKinnon,

Kale McCart, Nature, like that's why you win the cup. I totally agree. And the thought in Toronto

was maybe we're just Washington and we need to keep running it back and finally one year things

will collect because we thought forever you'd never win with backstream Carl Sinovetsch and they'd

lost too many times in round two to just have to be honest about what you see where your holes are.

Yeah, to be honest, they had some series they should have won, including one against Tampa,

one against Boston, one against Florida. I didn't. I don't know. Nobody ever says that, well,

I wish you had a ring ret because you should have won. No, either do you don't, but like the process

wasn't bad. And some of those like the summer that you're living had to move Mariner,

they look pretty damn good in that series. And if not for Matthew or Nina and just counting the

fact that you're if you said to the rest of the league is here's Mariner, you're not getting back

a bag of pucks. Like you're going to. Yeah, it was a tough call, but you're right in hindsight

that you had to do it there. Yeah, because once you get past July one, it's him as agent and his dad

running the whole show. I'm sorry. There's a bit of a track record with the agent and how he operates.

I wonder too. And again, I'm just we don't need we can move on or I just looking back because that's

the time to do it. But he's a superstar player. He's one of the top 10 guys in the league. Are we

really going to draw? Are we really going to trade this guy? Do they link it? Mariner is so connected

to Matthews. If we take Mariner away, does you know what I mean? Are we are we going to end up

in the end losing two of our best players by trading one of them? Yeah, or is it the opposite

where it's like Lindholm eating a based off the back of good, you don't know it's other separate

it right? But Mariner's been just okay this year. He's he's going to be probably 20 points

light of his head. There's other things you could dig into. I like Barubi. The other thing as a coach,

but they were not on the same page. He's not the right fit for that squad. I'll say this with

true living. And then we can we can move on and do move on to what? I don't know. We got a

pinder report. There's a torts torts beyond the bench. One of our boys. You bring it up a lot.

And I was thinking about it last night. I was making meatballs. I actually thought I actually

thought about you. You didn't bring one? No. Just how if you know if gelana throws his arms into

the air and the gates open cups. How does that go? Do they have enough video to like do they go

anyway? I was just thinking little things like that. And then the torliving stuff came through

you just start to think. His his work there is work here. And you you bring it up all the time.

Why is the team moving on from the player that they're trading to you? And in a lot of cases

I think that kind of it kind of why would Brandon Brandon Carlo be available? He's a big

hulking defense. That's he's a Boston Bruin through and through. That's that's what the Bruins

are about. Why are they? Yep. They're they're not down. They're not bottom five in the league. What

are they doing? Well, why? Why? It just seems like he kind of and I know that he talks to GMs and he

does so much groundwork. More than people would even probably realize it's I don't think he's

that informed. But I think he's because you're right. There's not many home runs when it comes to

free agency. So what are when you go over here? Put a put a report card together. There's not

a lot of A pluses or or solid solid wins there. There's some. Yeah. The marks from signing was

was fine. Ten of signing signing was fine. Very few second was theft. The brower was not a good

signing. No. The James Neil one was a disaster. You had to take on luch for it. Now given the pinch

he was in, he did well. He actually got an extra third out of it because Neil. But the original

signing was not a good bet or off. Not getting into bed with any of that. Yeah. 100%. It was undoing

a mistake and. Geo. Geo. Yeah. Geo 100%. Massive fail. Massive. Could have got a haul for Geo.

Not losing them for nothing in the expansion. Huge, huge kicking the nuts fail. And I will

on a hand leaving. Yeah. We're stable. Do it first. Just put them on L.T.I.R. He's not hurt.

We'll give away a first. That was pick number. You're a team last year. Yeah. 16. It wouldn't be.

Wow. It'd be interesting. You're right. Because how many. How many of the moves were like net positive?

It was the selling of guys. Like you talk about Glenn Cross. Chris Russell. It was the selling

of players for for future guys. And there were some really good drafts in there. There were

some really bad ones. It was a mixed bag. The more you look at most GM's track records,

it's a lot of 60, 40, 55, 45 mixed bag stuff. And his is that. But the mistakes were big ones. And

even little stuff. Like you've got Matthew Kuchak coming out of entry level. And you're so

horny about the edges of your roster that you bridge him. Meanwhile, his brother's just signed a

six year extension in Ottawa. Yeah. At the time he's open to a longer term deal. Johnny Giderot's

house shopping the September of his UFA season. You in the owner and the agent can't agree on

a number. Johnny's offended by the number that's turned down. And now all of a sudden after

that incredible season where he puts up what 115 points. Oh, that was probably three and a half

four million dollars less than what he's going to. You know, we're offering him and then he turns

down. Like that's what I find interesting because he did it with good drill. And then Mariner happened

again. And I find those to be very similar, very similar where you're like, you cannot do that again.

I wonder too. And I think I know the answer is that none of these GM's have full autonomy.

You need to run shit up the flag pull all the time. And I think I know what a,

hey, I'd like, I'm thinking of trading good draw. It was the same thing. I'm thinking of trading

Jerome until it was the very end. It's like you couldn't even allow to ask. You don't even ask that.

You know, not to ask. You know, that's not even asked. And I wonder in Toronto.

We know what Mariner is. He's a great player, but we also know what we're not doing with Mariner

and in a year from now. Hey, does he want to stay B? Do we want him to stay C? What's it going to

cost to keep him if all those? I just think there'll be so many hurdles to get done. What you

may want to get done. I think there was a lot more autonomy in Toronto than there was here. And

I've got that. I'm going to authority. And I would say that the more we watch us unfold, the more

heat's going to come down on Brennan Channel. You know what? I'll tell you this for free.

Because there's not much free. Not much for free these days. If you were given the opportunity,

you could be a GM in the NHL. If you put five, a couple of years of work into it,

you would make as good of trades or deals as a lot of the guys that have those. Go get my dad

a guy. Go get my cap guy. Go get my best scouts I can find. Here's my budget. Like it's not

you need a really smarty together rocket. Yeah.

Howdy howdy ho and welcome to fantasy fanfellas. I'm Hayden producer of the fantasy

fan girls podcast and your resident lover of all things Sanderson and I'm Steven your bookish

internet goofball. But you can call me the smash daddy. And we are currently deep diving Brandon

And Doug, there's nowhere I wouldn't go to help someone customize and save on car insurance with

Liberty Mutual. Even if it means sitting front row at a comedy show. Hey everyone, check out

this guy and his bird. What is it? It's your first date. Oh no, we help people customize and save

on car insurance with Liberty Mutual together. We're married. Need a human, him to a bird. Yeah,

the bird looks out of your league anyways. Only pay for what you need at Liberty Mutual dot com.

Liberty Liberty Liberty Liberty.

But in addition to that, we are very smart.

Yeah, so we're waiting for you don't need to be, but we are.

Is it Pellie? Mr. Pellie? Yeah, he's listening. We're ready. We're going to do it as a tandem.

I'm a triplets or even we'll bring Jack. He's our video guy. You saw him watch the show.

There's no group thing here. We've got lots of different ideas.

Quad box. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So they need a GM.

The rumblings have got extended today by the stars. The rumblings about Doug Armstrong.

I thought he was retiring. That's interesting. I don't.

Wouldn't be good for Craig Baroube, but he might be cooked too anyway. He might be cooked too.

And you think back it was about a month or so ago. He looks like he's fed up with it anyway.

Yeah. I don't think he's enjoying this crew at all. This is not his group.

And is he good at what he does? I brought this up the other day when we were talking about it.

I'm like, well, okay, St. Louis, he won. But after they were last place in one epic.

He came in as an interim that year. So it's not all on him. But there are horses.

But he was in Philly and they didn't win.

Of course, it's for horses with the same golf certain guys fit better in certain spots.

There are certain teams that you know a coach. He's well rested. I was back.

Yeah. Like do you there's certain teams you're like, I want to give this coach this high school group.

This blue collar. Like I know that they need this type of coach. Craig Baroube is not the type of

coach for that roster. But the thinking was they needed the roster. Yeah.

To melding over coaches to get tougher. So we need the coach. We're soft. We can't we need

Craig Baroube. And then they're going to come around to the group.

We waste mismanagement when you don't understand the pieces.

If if you that's yeah, what it'll come back to this core in Toronto over and over and over again.

And you have separate rules for how your core players play than everyone else.

I you it's not happened. Do you believe that this core new GM comes in sticks with it?

Like I don't know who the well. It's a different core now.

Martin Lander and Martin O'Reilly is not in this prime anymore. And the and the Matthews thing is

and Tavares is no longer is a major. It's Tavares a core piece. I guess.

Okay. It's not a good year, but it's like he what he where he's in his mid 30s. Yeah.

But that's not making 11 anymore. What's the core? Riley's shit.

It's it's Matthews and Neil under. Yeah. And nobody else.

That's the problem. Has a leafs all your great leafs fans out there. I would not put money.

Like I like Matthew Knies, but I mean sophomore slump this year or whatever you want to call it every year.

And like not the season he had last year. The the D is old.

Can't move the puck injury prone. And you know it's goal-tending. It looks like two career

tandem guys. It does. Yeah. I almost feel like they just need to almost take it to the

studs and start again. You'd get a lot for both of those guys if you move them.

Stars. Yeah. Neilander and Matthews. You could just start. It would

expedite things, but it's just kind of I'm sure it would be a lot of teams watching last night.

So the last time the two teams play Dox and the Leafs. Racco Goot is hits Matthews.

Glows his knee out. No response. Not the first time we've heard this. No response from the Leafs.

This is oh, how can't you stick it? So the Leafs play in Anaheim last night.

And Domey's fighting Grutus off them. We're going to look at his fighting his first grabbers.

That game was like a month ago. I guess it's fine that you're now stepping up,

but it doesn't really solve what you're not or what you are. It doesn't prove any natural. It's

voting. It's fabricated. It's so fascinating. It wasn't even good. It's just like yeah,

it's probably going to be early though. And you know what? I think Gootus threw that fight

to a certain extent. I left the prior game of the injury and it was a big story. Well,

he was going to make himself a bit. Rose Hill was tweeting about it last night. He says,

my understanding is his right hand is hurt. He's not supposed to be fighting. So he got into

he gave the fight to Domey and didn't throw a punch. Yes. He just kind of took that's fine. I'll

take that when I respect that's the code. So no, this is not a tight group. No.

And again, like good teams have bad years, but it's really hard to look at this group a

year older. Good teams don't you? It's already slow. It's very rare. If they're injury,

if they get hurt, Vegas missed the one year Tampa, Miss Colorado here in between you,

Scott, let's find us. Colorado, they get hurt. Were they injured? All the above. I mean,

the least were super injured this year. Okay. Well, that's what I'm saying is a good teams.

I don't think they have bad years. If you have a bad year, that means you're not good.

Yeah. I guess the point I'm making isn't that they're going to bounce back. We good next year.

It's that we have seen hundred point teams miss the place.

Point off that line up and tell me that next year you're not. I don't think they are good enough.

Well, I think it's dark. I think they're better than this year. They're very much in the middle.

Yeah, but they're not in the middle and you watch those other teams out east and you're going,

how the hell are you going to compete in that? They don't wait. Buffalo's back.

Montreal looks good. Ottawa's on the rise. Detroit's getting better every year bit by bit.

I think it's dark. They're like, it's coming. Florida and Tampa aren't going away at Boston's

turn things around quickly. And nicely, they kind of, they might be the template for Toronto.

And we thought we were two years ago. We're two years ago. The gold tender that they

the Bruins had. Yep. We talked about it with the deadline coming. Oh, or the least do they,

what are they going to do to get Nozzam Codry? They want Nozzam Codry in Toronto. Well, what do they

have? No. Well, that now shifts. So what do you have to build your own team, not to entice some

other team to take trade somebody to you? What Eastern Callum? All right. They've got some

Danforth. I don't know, man. It's they've now got a first from Vegas, but that's a year away.

They've also got seconds potentially from LA and Seattle, depending how far those teams go.

Those kids that you drafted, those positions are not coming in in the next year. No, it's five

years away. Yeah. But again, if you really wanted to, like if the pressure is such in Toronto,

the Keith Pellys says we win it all costs burn the boats, you go move those picks for players right

now. But it's it. It's a long way. There's a lot of homework after future either. No first, no

second this year. They do have two thirds for whatever that's. But they have their first,

that's 27. They've got their first, 28. They've got their first. They have two seconds next year.

They recoup some of the deadline. They got to Colorado's 27 in the neck,

wide deal. And then they've got it Seattle second for Bobby or man, and potentially a second for

Lawton, if LA makes it worse. They have three more years of Tveris at four point, which is fine,

which is fine. Math unize his deal kicked in this year, seven point seven five. That's the guy

I'd be trying to proud of. Like McMahon has been awesome. Yeah. It took like a week to get the

paperwork done because he'd never played for an American team before. But he has been awesome.

And he is a UFA this summer and someone's going to pay him. But those were the types of guys.

He's old. Is he not? I told her. Yeah. Right. Matthews is two years left at 13.25.

Nielander is in for for a bit yet. But it's the Matthews one that's going to be the most

exciting to watch for me because I don't really, I don't hate the leaves. I don't love them.

I don't think he's coming here. I don't think it. But just to see who, well, how do you build that

out? If you stay, if you stick with the crew, how do you build it out? To win, right? Because we're

looking at that line. I don't think you win with this group. So I, so there's big changes coming

either way. If you're trying to win or you're reloading, like there's, so, so who's the GM?

Sell me the vision. And there's going to be a lot of moves no matter which direction. That's the

thing. Because if Keith Pelley comes out and it's like, well, we're winning now. You can say all

that you can say whatever you want to say. Yeah. You're not winning. Now you could, like Boston

looked dead in the water when, when Boston has, and I am way more faith and swam in than these

other guys still are in wool. Yeah. I just don't know. And now they've been heard a lot this year.

And then you've got, you got to go four rounds deep. The Leafs can't get two rounds deep.

Well, and you watch Dallas and Colorado. And these teams hold shit. And as importantly,

sorry, I'm jumping all over here. But as importantly is what we just said, look at the

standings in the East. You have team missing with like 96. Yes. Who's gonna

fall over next year? Especially in that division. Buffalo's back.

Teas and Peas Leafs. Teas and Peas. And Brett. Brett. Brett. Brett. Yeah.

Well, because you were going to be the GM, I thought that's what you were saying.

Teas and Peas to the Leafs and to Brett. Yeah. And now to Brett.

Howdy, howdy, Ho. And welcome to Fantasy Fanfellas. I'm Hayden, producer of the

Fantasy Fan Girls podcast and your resident lover of all things Sanderson. And I'm Stephen,

your bookish internet goofball. But you can call me the smash daddy. And we are currently deep

diving Brandon Sanderson's fantasy epic Mistborn. But here's the catch. Stephen here has not

read Mistborn before. That's right. Hey, hey. So each week you'll get my unfiltered raw reactions

to every single chip. And along the way, we'll do character deep dives, magic explainers,

and Stephen will even try to guess what's next. Spoiler alert, he'll be wrong.

News flash, I'm never wrong. Episodes come out every Wednesday and you can find fantasy

fanfellas wherever you get your podcasts. And Doug, there's nowhere I wouldn't go to help

someone customize and save on car insurance with Liberty Mutual. Even if it means sitting front

row at a comedy show. Hey, everyone, check out this guy and his bird. What is this, your first date?

Oh, no. We help people customize and save on car insurance with Liberty Mutual together.

We're married. Need a human, him to a bird. Yeah, the bird looks out of your leg anyways.

Only pay for what you need at Liberty Mutual.com.
