A Public To-Do List

In this week's P.O. Box:

Last week I mentioned that staying organized helps me stay in “Kairos” time, so today I’m selfishly using this space as a quick rundown of my to-do list and things to look forward to over the next month…

🛳️ Ship Chasing

Fresh off our trip to Miami (we’ll have a video out shortly), we announced our full schedule of live drafts for August. Mark your calendars:

We’ll also be making an announcement in the near future about some exciting plans for the #ShipCast this year.

🏆️ Fantasy Life

Things are heating up at Fantasy Life with the release of all the new tools and I’m going to start writing the newsletter 5 days a week after next week.

I’m also going to host a Guillotine draft for 17 YouTube Members in the Deposit Kingdom on an upcoming After Dark. I’ll share details soon on how to enter for a chance to join the league.

💸 Deposit Kingdom Videos

I’m wrapping up a video now that will post next week and then it’s time to get in the lab for two of my favorite videos of the year:

• Best Ball Bros 2025

• 2025 Truth Serum Taeks

Make sure you are subscribed here.

🎉 Randomizer/Best Ball Bash

Only three more shows of each, but we have some fun stuff on tap, including next week’s Randomizer where Davis Mattek will host and I will guest…as Davis Mattek.

Two weeks from now, we are going to do a Randomizer as a Best Ball Bash where the guest is drawn randomly right before.

☕️ Best Ball Breakfast

I’m at 102 completed BBMs as of right now, which means we have 48 more teams to draft on stream in the next three weeks to complete our encore goal of streaming/recording all 150 teams.

Ian Hartitz and Adam Levitan are booked for upcoming shows and I’m probably going to sneak in an additional marathon Best Ball Breakfast to help me get to 150 before lock.

👀 Announcements

I have two exciting announcements to make in the next couple of weeks. Both are content-related and one is a project I’ve been working on for a big chunk of this offseason. I can’t wait to share it with everyone when it’s ready.

🤓 FANTASY LIFE: Weekly Roundup. This week we shared our concern level on 5 different injuries, got hyped on Jaydon Blue, and analyzed the fallout from the Keenan Allen signing. I also wrote a separate Draft Diary piece on my experiences going extreme Zero RB in an Underdog draft while riding in an Uber.

I regularly write the Fantasy Life Newsletter. Get it in your inbox free every morning:

☕️ BEST BALL BREAKFAST: Rookie Risers To Target ASAP (7 BBM Drafts). Kyle Dvorchak and Davis Mattek pinch-hit for the regs this week.

🎉 BEST BALL BASH + RANDOMIZER: An Intriguing Draft “Rule” & Giants Intel. Fun drafts with Cole O and Lawrence Jackson.

⏰ OFF & ON THE CLOCK: Camp Battles, ADP Twins & An Underdog Draft. Jon and I discuss how we process camp news from a portfolio standpoint before hopping in a Husky draft

🚢SHIP CHASING: Divisive Picks, Punt TEs & The Definition of 'Slappy'. The most thorough definition of ‘slappy’ that you’ll ever get.

☣️ LOLZ: A New Portfolio Tool Just Dropped. Topics include: gambling news and Vegas collapsing.

💪 THE SWOLECAST: A Fantasy OG Teaches The New Kids A Lesson. Dan Back joins for Swole shenanigans.

🥃 BEST BALL AFTER DARK: with Mark Wolf. After Dark turns into the Bash once again and we are joined by a Houston-area pediatrician with a lot of strong best ball taeks. For After Dark shows, you can become a YT member for access or subscribe on Spotify for a private RSS feed (I post the video/audio there directly after the show).

📈 ADP CHASING: The Truth Behind Depth Charts & New Risers/Fallers. A number of key injuries stand to dramatically shift the players we've been targeting and will target going forward

No shows until Monday’s Best Ball Breakfast. Ian Hartitz will be joining.

🚶 Book #6 for August (10%): Playworld: A Novel by Adam Ross.

This book has a throwback J.D. Salinger vibe, with shades of both The Catcher In The Rye and Franny and Zooey.

I didn’t realize how long it was when I started, but it doesn’t feel like it will be a slog based on the start.

🚶 Book #6 for July (COMPLETED): Things Become Other Things: A Walking Memoir by Craig Mod.

This book was all over the place, but I still enjoyed it. I would have loved it if he included more images of maps and the trails he was on so it was easier to follow where he was geographically.

I think the 300-mile walk needed a little more connective tissue as opposed to feeling like a ton of individual dispatches.

I understand that working through his childhood trauma was a big element of the book, but I most enjoyed things when he was describing all the locals he met along the journey, like Seamus.

☁️ Book #5 for June (COMPLETED): Cloud Cuckoo Land by Anthony Doerr
🐊 Book #4 for May (COMPLETED): Gator Country: Deception, Danger, and Alligators in the Everglades by Rebecca Renner
🍌 Book #3 for April (COMPLETED): The Fish That Ate the Whale: The Life and Times of America’s Banana King by Rich Cohen
💉 Book #2 for March (FINISHED): Empire of Pain by Patrick Radden Keefe.
🐃 Book #1 for February (FINISHED): The Heart in Winter by Kevin Barry
