[rock music] And welcome back everybody to another episode of Benched With Bubba, episode 853.

B

0:56

Coming at you on a Wednesday night with the second episode of Benched With Bubba this week, and we're going to talk some, uh, to drop or not to drops.

B

1:03

I'm trying to switch up the terminology that everyone uses around baseball this time of the year.

B

1:07

We're eight fab periods in, so depends on how you do math.

B

1:10

We're like a quarter of the way through the season.

B

1:12

Maybe we're a third of the way.

B

1:13

Depends on what people...

B

1:14

Like, I've heard many different terms in recent weeks.

B

1:17

And a lot of questions keep coming in of, should I drop player A, B, or C? And that's, that's a common thing right now.

B

1:24

I kind of tweeted about it over the weekend about certain players to drop.

B

1:27

So I'm bringing a friend of mine, a friend of the show on to discuss some potential players, primarily in 12s, but we'll give our thoughts on other formats if, if it comes to fruition.

B

1:36

But a long list, plus a little bit of news and much, much more.

B

1:39

But to, uh, to kick us off, you can find him over on Twitter @thehumanraindelay or Corked Wood.

B

1:46

Have a look, uh, uh, check it out.

B

1:47

He's a, a heck of an NFBC player, a friend of mine, and I enjoy having him on the show.

B

1:53

Mr. Brandon Waddell, how we doing, my friend?
