Me: I mean, there are requirements for my number one fan.
DoesMyBreathStink60: Hit me with them. I’m pretty sure I can check off each one.
Me: Well, you have to listen to all the episodes I’ve done.
DoesMyBreathStink60: Okay, I’ve got about nine more to get through. What else?
Me: I feel you’d need a shirt.
DoesMyBreathStink60: Duh, and a hat.
Me: Oh, absolutely a hat.
Me: Probably a bumper sticker or some kind of sticker on something important.
DoesMyBreathStink60: Would on my phone and laptop suffice?
Me: I feel so.
DoesMyBreathStink60: Cool. Where do I get said shirt, hat, and stickers?
Me: I have a store, but I haven’t published it yet.
DoesMyBreathStink60: Beep, beep, beep, bop, bop, bop.
Me: ??
DoesMyBreathStink60: Sorry, I was telling your bot to do her job.
I snort out a laugh.
Me: I’ll get it done
DoesMyBreathStink60: Bet. Send me the link when you get it.
Me: Okay.
DoesMyBreathStink60: So, do you truly believe that even with Odder in goal, the Assassins will not be the number one team?
Me: So, hear me out. Odder can only do so much. Without a good defense in front of him, he’s a lone man trying to protect a huge-ass goal. What Adler needs to do is trade off these third- and fourth-line defensemen for some huge talent. Or trade off some of her snipers. They need defense. Or it’ll leave Odder to overcompensate and ultimately get hurt.
I smile to myself when I hit send. That was a lot of typing I just did like a damn pro! My dad would be proud. I didn’t even use voice-to-text.
DoesMyBreathStink60: Hmm, I think you may be right.
Me: I am. It’s okay to admit it.
DoesMyBreathStink60: I won’t, but too bad you couldn’t tell the Adlers that when they were there.
Me: I know, the trade happened two weeks after, but I did get a contact from FanDuel Sports Network South to try out for broadcasting for the Knoxville Bears, so I take my wins where I can.
DoesMyBreathStink60: So you’d move there?
Me: Probably, if I decide to go that direction. I don’t know yet. I have a lot of applications out right now.
DoesMyBreathStink60: That’s badass. You have a lot of sponsors, though, and a huge following. Why don’t you stay with the podcast?
Me: I plan to, but the goal is NHL.
