In this week's P.O. Box:

This is always one of the weirder weeks on the calendar as we cram in prep for two full slates into one single week.

With Thanksgiving in the rearview mirror (I put it in the rearview quickly after falling asleep at 8:30 pm), we got a quick turnaround before Sunday. My usual schedule is all out of whack, so here are a few quick updates…

🛒 Holiday sales. ICYMI, two nice 40% off sales this week:

Lots of cool testimonials lately. This is the cheapest the course will ever be, so it’s a great time to snag it. All of the strategy and concepts are evergreen. Sale ends on Sunday.

There is so much under the hood at Fantasy Life now, including the full set of Utilization tools, DvP, league sync, rankings/projections, etc. A sub now locks it in for a year and will include the 2026 Draft Kit.

Also, I should mention that my friends over at The Solver are also running a 20% off sale with code SOLVER20. I got a lot of questions about it after the After Dark with Galin, so take advantage if you’ve been on the fence. It’s become a big part of my Battle Royale drafting process.

📺 Programming notes. I did After Dark last night and we swapped the Sunday ShipCast for our Shipgiving Extravaganza show, so the only show I have this weekend is the Week 13 cram on Sunday.

🥛 Got milk? I’m all-in on Pluribus after the rocky second episode. That episode is still so confusing to me, but whatever, Gilligan locked in and it’s fully back on the tracks now…We’re also watching The Beast in Me on Netflix and it’s decent.

👕 I had a good Black Friday.

💎 Week 13 Gems: My favorite sleepers on Underdog. Ugly slate, but some decent gems. I broke it down here for YouTube members and here for Masterclass subs.

🤯 BLOCK PARTY & BULLY THE SIMS: Week 13 DFS Strategy: Top Plays & GPP Angles. JMToWin and ShipMyMoney share sharp angles for DraftKings.

⏰ OFF & ON THE CLOCK: Week 13 Battle Royale Strategy & Sleepers. Scrolls, draft angles, and spicy pick ‘ems. Check show notes/description for link to pick ‘ems.

🥃 AFTER DARK: Bash Edition. Drafted some shippers with a handful of people from the Deposit Kingdom.

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).

🤓 FANTASY LIFE: Newsletter Roundup. This week in the newsletter we prepped for Thanksgiving and became intrigued by Devin Neal.

💪 THE SWOLECAST: Thanksgiving DFS Picks. Technically not evergreen, but pretty evergreen.

☕ POURTFOLIO REVIEW: Only One Player Mattered In Week 12. This slate feels like an eternity ago.

See you Sunday at 10:30 am ET for the Week 13 DFS Cram:

After ditching Splendid and the Vile, I started reading Born To Run based on Nick’s recommendation:

There are some similarities to The River Of Doubt (the story about Roosevelt’s exploration of the Amazon) that we read last year with the author exploring uncharted terrain where the Tarahumara people live (and run). I’m hooked.
