Looking for more episodes and to fill in current episodes. Feel free to add to or bash anything I wrote.

btw I think it would be fitting if they shot monkee in blackout and with voice box distortion like they do in mob story/true crime shows where the witness doesnt want to be ID'd

"please show us on this doll where seble touched you..."

Origins of the TEPL, maybe?

Updating as we go.

I actually think I end up coming out alright. I think people give me the MJ is competitive as Hell benefit of the doubt. Definitely come across as a shark, (which is fine as it is definitely true) but I would come out of the whole slash thing nicely. Scott would get fired if everything there came out (and if the 98/ash stuff came out with it), so monkee would end up the winner of Episode 2. Everyone wins.

98 would be the guy on the jet ski

ben i appreciate the mention in episode 6 but theres way more deserving names...ive only been in about 5-6? progressives

however i do need that air time in episode 8...

"jakotay,ncih,kfunk(others?)...they started and the continued the longest running theme in WIS - the draft league...but it was one mans vision who shaped them into the draft leagues we know and love today...someone brave and bold enough to question things like, why does the champion pick 24th every season? and why do i have to start one of my drafted players?...that man was 3 time odl champion and 6 time 52mil champion, the very humble, dh555"

this is kind of unrelated but do you guys know about The History of the Seattle Mariners series on YouTube?

The "introduce robusk" bit reminded me of it. What a crazy team. Finally realized that "seapilots" is a reference to the Seattle Pilots, one of the most meme-worthy teams ever

I'm just filling it in as I think of things. I'm sure I am missing loads of people (Especially pre-2012). Fill in anything you can think of.

i especially like the hidden gems part...one of the weirdest things about all of this...how the players take on a life of their own here

btw tarheel, while a legend, is definitely not new

It only took me five years to think of it!
