thanks Josh it’s Michael Bolton here and it’s time for another episode of the locked on Fantasy Basketball podcast let’s get to it let’s get to it in date you are locked on fantasy your daily NBA

fel.com to get started also check out locked on daily.com and find the newsletter the best newsletter for your favorite team that is locked on daily.com so what was all this calendar stuff that I was talking about at the start of the show well welcome to the show for the first time ever um if you play leagues on Yahoo again be prepared you may not know this you may but you’re life is about to be turned upside down Topsy Turvy so to speak it’s not really but what they’ have done is they have made a huge mistake a gigantic screw up and you’re about to cop it now because what Yahoo has done is turned week seven which begins December the 2nd instead of a regular 7-Day matchup they’ve made it a 14-day matchup why because they didn’t read the NBA calendar they didn’t read it correctly they thought that week eight had no games on which is just not true week eight has games on the difference is is those games have not been scheduled yet and why have those games not been scheduled yet because they’re the NBA cup knockout games every single team in week eight will play two games we just don’t know who they’re against and when they are but they will play two games in that time frame so if you play on Yahoo you have got a 14-day matchup coming up and teams are going to play between five and six games in that time and what they should have done is combined week eight and nine into one week because that is when you’ve got a two game week and another two game week so instead you’re going to have a 14 game 14-day matchup with six games for each team and then a s-day matchup with two games again screwed up be ready for it I also believe I don’t have a league on Yahoo this season but I also believe that in that week seven matchup for Yahoo your transactions will not be increased so you will if you have four transactions a week you will have four four transactions for 14 days now what I’m going to do in this show I am not going to talk about the 14-day matchup because again I can’t for week eight cuz I do not know who plays when I don’t know nobody does at this point we need the NBA cup um knockout or the qualifying group stage to finish which it doesn’t it hasn’t yet so I don’t know all I can tell you about is what is going on in week seven and understand in week eight every team will play two games and the teams that qualify through to The Knockout stage will play on the low volume days and the other teams will play on the high volume days so if there are teams that have already qualified through Atlanta is one of them Houston is another one those guys in that week eight are going to have low volume uh low volume quality games in that week eight but the rest we don’t know yet we don’t know yet I hope all that makes sense so we’re treating week seven like a regular week because again we do not know week eight just know that it will happen it will occur and there will be games on I just don’t know what they’re going to be we good with that we good let’s uh let’s take a look at the week seven schedule it’s a it’s a weird week actually because we’ve got a a relatively quiet Monday with four games on we’ve got 11 games on Tuesday we’ve got six on Wednesday only we’ve got eight on Thursday we’ve got seven on Friday seven on Saturday and 12 on Sunday normally you get the bus busy days Monday Wednesday Friday not this week Tuesday Sunday are the two busy days so it’s relatively streamable it’s the 12 on Sunday is annoying but everything else is pretty strong for the week it’s a pretty good week if we take a look at you know in terms of games played it’s relatively it’s relative it’s a relatively busy week and it’s a relatively even week four 4 game teams there are 20 of them and that would mean that there are 10 three- game teams the four game teams are Atlanta Boston Charlotte Chicago Cleveland Denver Golden State Indiana Lakers Memphis Miami Milwaukee Minnesota New Orleans Orlando Philadelphia Phoenix Sacramento San Antonio Washington and then you got your three game teams which are Brooklyn Dallas Detroit Houston the Clippers New York Oklahoma City Portland Toronto and Utah so four four game teams there are 20 of them and 2/3 of the league and then the rest of the league plays three games no five game week no two game week this week in week seven and then of course the week after and what also there’s something very weird on the schedule whereas so at the moment there is one game scheduled on Monday December 9th a random New York Toronto game I don’t know why it’s scheduled on that day I have absolutely no idea and it feels like that’s some sort of weird mistake I don’t I don’t get why that would be the case it just it doesn’t actually add up to me at all why there’s just one game on that day but there is and I and again I don’t know but that’s what we’re dealing with at this stage so that’s where we’re at in terms of that part of the schedule let’s just take a look at how things go with the the quality games for the week and of course like I said we’ve got the busy day on on Tuesday and the busy day on Sunday so that means that Monday Wednesday Thursday Friday and Saturday are all lower volume days where there’s more streaming capabilities we’ve got one team this week Boston who has four quality games so every one of the four games that Boston plays is on a low volume day so when you’re looking at Boston guys now they do have a back toback in there and they’ve got a really busy stretch of games coming up so you’re going to have sits from Pingus you’re going to have sits from Horford Derek white got a sore foot yesterday so maybe he doesn’t play all of these games so your Sam Howers your n kers your Payton Pritchards these sort of guys are going to have increased value cuz they have four quality games plus Pingas haford Maybe maybe even Drew holiday will rest a game in this period there’s a bunch of teams six of them that have three quality games Atlanta Chicago the Lakers Miami Minnesota and the Pelicans Atlanta’s a really good team to Target here three quality games for them in week seven plus they have qualified for The Knockout part of the NBA cup meaning they have at least one quality game the week after when there are going to be teams that probably have zero quality games in week eight so Atlanta’s at least going to have one and if they win that first one that means they get two and they play both of their games on low volumes if they win their first knockout game and then on the flip side as you can probably tell we’ve got those teams playing four those teams playing three I’m going to tell you the teams that play one quality game and that means everyone else plays two but Houston the Clippers the Blazers and the Jazz have one quality game and the one that stands out there again East Houston there’s only one quality game for them in week seven but because they’re in The Knockout stage of the NBA cup they’re at least got one the next week they’ve at least got a game I believe it’s on either Tuesday or Wednesday which the two semi-final or the quarterfinal days so they’ll at least have one game on those days I think that’s the right days anyway that’s that’s okay again that schedule will come into view I believe on Wednesday this week where that schedule will get announced for week eight but Houston the Clippers the Blazers and the Jazz have only one quality game this week so if you’ve been streaming some Blazer players in maybe it’s a Delano Banton um maybe it’s the return of Rob Williams eventually maybe it’s uh whatever is going on in Utah which is a massive avoid scenario is you whether it’s Amir Coffey Chris Dunn Kevin Porter Nick Batum in deeper leagues not a great spot there for the Clippers given the way that schedule plays out so how are we uh how are we streaming players in for this upcoming week well again it’s there are a couple of different ways that you can do this but given the way that everything plays out and the way that the schedule looks and the way where the quality games sit if if we take a look at this a Tuesday with 11 game games on we probably avoid but if we go Monday Wednesday and then do the Thursday Friday back to back that means we can get four games with two ads that leaves us with Saturday open to add another stream in and then another spot for additional stashes or whatever you want to do on a Tuesday or a Sunday or whatever but you can use well with three ads you can get five games in four G you can get four games with two ads so you can look at Atlanta Brooklyn Boston Lakers Miami Minnesota to get the Monday Wednesday combination again ignoring an 11 game Tuesday in the middle and then you can parlay that or flip that into a Chicago Golden State Sacramento San Antonio Thursday Friday backto back so theoretically a DeAndre Hunter slash uh let’s say a the Miami one’s a tough one Minnesota nille Alexander Walker Dante venzo if he was dropped um the Brooklyn ones are really tough man like a Jaylen Wilson is probably who I prefer there over Martin and Z Williams um you could look at those or Ben Simmons would be a good one as well flip one of those guys from Monday Wednesday into a IOD dumu a um buddy heel John kaminga Brandon paj jimsky um Sacramento is a maybe Malik monke on Alice monk should just be rosted anyway or a Spurs player there and that gives you four games with two ads and then you got two more ads as a general rule to play with but remembering if you are in Yahoo this is a way to get four extra games with two ads and then saving two ads for the second half of the week which they have screwed up in the week eight portion of the week seven matchup you’ve got two more ads that you can save and use for teams in the NBA cup knockout um games yes that’s how we should be looking at that we’re going to come back and look at some some quirks in the schedule before I do that though today’s episode is brought to you by better help yes is brought to you by better help we know there are stresses in life all the time there’s always something that’s going on there’s always a lot of things that get busy especially at at this time of the year as we head into the holidays um and think about the things that make you happy you I’ve been preaching a lot of positivity on this show as well but like there are so many things throughout this December period that that can make you happy like do you like staying home being cozy do you like catching up with family and friends wrapping up yourself in the winter areas of the world you you know nice warm blanket with a hot drink spending that time um with friends family or even alone depending on what it is that is makes you happy but sometimes you need that extra Comfort or the ability to recognize where the comfort is and therapy can be a great way to bring yourself some of that additional Comfort or recognizing some of the ways that you’re able to be better

betterhelp.com lockon NBA today to get 10% off your first month that is betterhelp.com locked on NBA all right let us look in now at some schedule quirks across the NBA because there’s always going to be some of those there’s just not as many this week sometimes we have these you know 5-day breaks or you don’t play until Wednesday or you’re off on the weekend and that’s not really what’s happening this week there’s only two instances during the week of a team having a 3-day break and that is Brooklyn who does not play between Thursday and Saturday and it’s the Clippers who do not play between Thursday and Saturday we just talked about Brooklyn having the nice little Monday Wednesday pseudo backto back uh you know sandwiching an 11 game Tuesday which is strong and then they have the three days off and then they’re back for a 12 game Sunday the Clippers on the other hand have only got one quality game for the week and then they have that big Thursday to Saturday break meaning that they play I don’t know if they play Monday or Wednesday they play one of those two games so it’s a bad schedule for the Clippers it’s a good start to the week for the Nets and then you have that three-day break but that’s it they’re the only two teams with that big big Gap in the middle of the week and that Brooklyn like I said they they have that really good start but then it gets rough they they’re the only team that’s got a five-day stretch with one game so they play Monday Brooklyn and then they play Wednesday and that’s it they’re not on Tuesday they’re not on Thursday then not on Friday then not on Saturday so while it’s a good start to the week for Brooklyn after that little Monday Wednesday goup and this is where understanding how a schedule can actually be good and bad at the same time which it is for Brooklyn where you can start them off without that Monday Wednesday which is great and then you’re out you’re done they don’t play again till Sunday one game in five nights after that yes so again I can talk I’ve talked Brooklyn three times here really good stream team to begin the week they got a three-day break which is bad and a one game in five nights which is bad and they’re the only team that does that still makes them an interesting team that’s where things are weird and that’s where you can get advantages in Fantasy by understanding that’s not just about four games good three games bad or you even four quality games good and three bad or whatever it is it’s about manipulating segments manipulating segments yeah there you go there there’s a phrase that you can maybe use probably not though let’s talk about little chunks again chunky stuff is what we love on this show I’m a big chunk fan what can we look at in terms of three games in four night sections of the schedule here for week seven remembering again I do not know what happens in the second half of the week oh not the second half of the week the second half of the Yahoo matchup Sunday to Wednesday we’ve got a lot of teams there we’ve got Brooklyn Boston Indiana the Clippers the Lakers Miami and Orlando that have three games in four nights between Sunday and Wednesday on Tuesday to Friday we’ve got a lot of teams it’s Golden State Indiana Milwaukee Orlando Philadelphia Sacramento and San Antonio Wednesday to Saturday is only Boston and we know that they are the only four quality game team this week and that really takes advantage in that middle of the week portion understanding there is a backto back there and I believe their back toback is Friday Saturday and you’re going to have the porzingis haford probably alternating I would guess um games off and then we watch for Derek white and then to end the week there’s a million teams that play Thursday or three games between Thursday and Sunday Charlotte Chicago Cleveland Denver Golden State Memphis New Orleans Phoenix Sacramento San Antonio and Washington plays the three games in four nights to end the week we can go in here and take a look at um four games in six nights that actually is a thing uh this week between Sunday through to Friday we’ve got quite a few teams who have that little four game period it’s Boston Indiana the Lakers Miami Orlando Sacramento and San Antonio starts off or ends week six with with a game on Sunday and then there’s four games in six nights between Monday to Saturday it is Boston and then between Tuesday to Sunday that is a lot of teams Charlotte Cleveland Denver Golden State Indiana Memphis Milwaukee Orlando Philadelphia Phoenix Sacramento San Antonio and Washington and what we also have again remembering that there’s no five games weeks but there is but there’s not but there is because Boston plays five games in seven nights but it starts Sunday of week six and it goes through to Saturday of week seven so it doesn’t look like a five game week on a schedule but it is here five games seven nights for the Celtics watch for rest for this extremely good team with some guys that need that time off Pingas haford maybe white Drew holiday watch for Tatum and brown they probably be okay but you never know five games seven night starting Sunday ending Saturday for the Boston Celtics and if we look at five games in eight nights there’s actually a lot of teams that do that as well of course Boston’s one of them that’s Sunday through to Sunday but you’ve got Cleveland Denver Indiana the Lakers Memphis Miami New Orleans Orlando Sacramento and San Antonio the schedule’s not released for the Monday yet so you might have some teams that play five games in eight nights going Monday to Monday but because I don’t know that I can’t tell you surprisingly enough if we take a look at some back to backs um where they all sit in terms of Tuesday is an 11 game day so you might not be able to stream guys in on that one but even or even if you could you can’t anyway because there’s no games on Sunday to Monday is where we can look at stuff Brooklyn Boston the Lakers Miami and New Orleans have that um Sunday Monday back toback Monday Wednesday is that fake pseudo back toback which is really good for streaming it’s Atlanta Brooklyn Boston the Lakers Miami Minnesota there’s no Wednesday Thursday back toback but there is a Friday Thursday Friday which is Chicago Golden State Sacramento San Antonio Friday Saturday it is only Boston and they’re both streamable day seven and seven so watch for your NES kers you might get 21 minutes plus for Kar on both days because Pingus and Horford likely sit one each or they could sit them both on the same day which would open up a ton on one day and nothing on the other which would actually be worse for us from a fantasy point of view and then on the weekend there is seven games on Saturday and there’s 12 games on Sunday but there are quite a few teams with that weekend back to back it’s just probably less usable for us given that we’re at 12 on the Sunday Charlotte Cleveland Denver Memphis Miami New Orleans Phoenix and Washington goes through and gives you that um backto back there over the weekend what we’re going to do now is come back and take a look at who is injured for the week we a look at guys that might be returning during week seven as well as some weekly League action as well but today’s episode is brought to you by fan juel Sports B go and get ready to tackle all of the NFL action with Fel America’s

take a look at um some injury updates of what we know and what we don’t know and we talked actually we’ll get to that in a sec I was going to give you a little bit of an update there but we’ll talk about it when we get to it on the screen here these are guys that we know are very very confident not going to play during week seven vidz Williams Jr cam Thomas and that Brooklyn scenario is just so wild because you’ve got de rroa missing you’ve got Darin Smith Miss Missing just a bunch of randoms are popping off it might be Shake Milton or Keon Johnson or Tyrese Martin or Z Williams or Jaylen Wilson Wilson’s the guy that I like out of that group the most but yeah it’s pretty rough um and then then Charlotte is where the big stuff is treyman and lamelo ball are going to be out for a period of time here we know that lamelo is out at least two weeks and I think trad’s probably out the same so that means and we talked about this yesterday and the day before I think it was as well maybe it was a Thanksgiving special that I dropped this one where we’re just adding Vasa MIT MIT MIT I keep saying that wrong MIT MIT yes please bulen friends MIT V vasil MIT please please tell me that’s right I keep confusing myself MIT um yeah we’re adding him yes he will have some bad his shooting numbers are horrific this season MIT but he gets assist he got eight last game you might get a steal here or there four rebounds two threes 11 points and for deeper leagues not actually not deeper leagues for double onx platinum diamond titanium leagues you’re looking at KJ Simpson as the backup there who might even slide into like 16 teamers because ball and man are going to miss time here so miic is the guy to to roster in 12 Simpson e is the guy that you take a look at in those deeper formats Mitch Robinson’s going to remain out pa banero is out and at the moment they’re going with wendow Carter and Goa badad and they’re totally okay somehow to be to be used and that’s what one of those things it’s always really frustrating and confusing you think you got a pattern right where last season Carter would miss and Goa would start and then Carter would come back and go would go out of the rotation and now this time it’s like no we’re actually going to play Wendell at the four because Paulo’s out but also we’re going to play goo more minutes now than when Wendell was out which again makes no sense but that’s what they’re doing so we adjust to it and we move on and we move forward with it because like again you can only have so many things that you can do and the magic have just never played Carter at the four and now they’re like nah let’s do it like okay you’re doing it I guess then we move on from there who else is injured well almost certain we’re not seeing Kawai I actually don’t think we see him until January at this point but I also don’t know um Ben Shepard is going to be out Chad hongren out Emanual quickly I don’t think we see this week Z Williamson will be out Donan kingan won’t be back this week either for Portland um and then we’ve got a bunch of guys where we might be getting Returns on some of these players we could be we’re looking at that stage where Max stru returns now these are only the guys that sort of have standard League relev we’re not going to cover every single injury option here which we have a show for during the week as well that we do plus every single preview show basically we do an injury update but stru is likely back some point this week Kyle Lowry might be back but you shouldn’t care about that um the only impact he has is those of you like in deeper formats or there I guess there’s a marginal impact for Larry not really Bruce Brown and Kelly linck might be back in Toronto Patrick Williams with his foot soreness might come back and have an impact on IOD dumu um the Jazz I I yeah look I just don’t know about who’s coming back there I know John Collins and Larry Markin in are back and how that all plays out will be something to watch and then Jordan Clarkson could be returning and he could get some extra shots up but he’s also very iffy in terms of being a must for TW it might be the return of Chris Middleton on like 20 4 minutes T it I’m guessing but again who could possibly know grade a dick The Prestige penis maybe he is able to return this week with that groin isue and with him out you’ve seen Gary Trent II third jacobe Walter start and Walter had a good first game and and a pretty midc game and I think the mid-second game is more realistic for him moving forward and he’s not a 12 team League guy we might get Robbie Williams the third back this week from that concussion and then Aon played like a million minutes last game but also remember when they had the three centers Aon was played like 23 minutes so what do they do do they play 35 minutes of eighton and 13 of Williams or is it 28 Aton and 20 Williams or is it 24 24 I literally don’t know but I know that if Williams gets 20 plus he is a 12 team League guy the unfortunate thing is is that as soon as kingan went down I was like let’s go grab Rob Williams and he got concussed in that same game so of course he did so that has not worked out at all um Klay Thompson might return but I don’t think you actually care in 12 team leagues all that matters is that Grimes and Naji Marshall lose value Jeremy sohan’s return could be coming this week I do believe he’s an ad he has been very good this season and he’s been good this season while shooting 25% from three and 10 or 11 percentage points below his usual free throw number so yeah he did some of that with Deon Vel but I actually think there’s more Improvement for soan coming and I would grab him Jeremy Grant’s dealing with a knee problem of course he is even though it’s not March he’s yeah look maybe he’s out this week I don’t know Denny abdia is the guy that steps up now ABIA has done this thing where again last season he was mid and then guys went out second half of the Season he got increased minutes the ball was in his hands and he started shooting the three ball unbelievably he was bad this season his minutes got cut he got benched he played 23 minutes a night and now he’s playing some backup center but more importantly Jeremy Grant and Scoot Henderson have been out meaning there are minutes starting at the four and there are shot and usage attempts and there are ball handling attempts with no scoot so he is thriving at the moment so for now AIA has that value but it does require multiple players out I believe on that Portland team for Denny to be a B to put up numbers and that’s exactly what we’re seeing at the moment I don’t know whether the future MVP Kyle kosma will be back while he is out Kon George is the guy that I’m interested in I couldn’t be less interested in Kyle kosmer as a general player but I do think he’s going to be better than what he’s been in Indiana we might be getting Aaron n Smith and Andrew nard back we also might not and when they do come back that’ll likely mean the end of diamond League Legend Quenton Jackson so he probably won’t have that value and then T.J McConnell becomes less interesting as well I don’t think it’ll impact Ben Maan but we do want to watch that Norman pal is likely to return Nick Richards has already been upgraded to questionable for Charlotte while Mark Williams and Miles Bridges may be they returning but you know we’re never going to put any sort of expectations here on Mark Williams but when Williams comes back I definitely do want him over Richards but of course at this point it’s Richards who is coming back first what are we going to get first Mark Williams returning or GTA 6 who’s to say like that joke yeah that’s that’s a real like gen Z joke isn’t it um I Dennis Shredder is coming back this week he’s dealing with some personal issues hopefully that everything’s okay and he’s back and that sorts out some of the nonsense in Brooklyn herb Jones could be back this week so could Brandon Ingram who’s of course Miss time of course he has Zack Ed’s return is likely coming which is going to reduce Jay huff and Brandon Clark and it looks like um indefinite timeline out indefinitely Legend Aaron Gordon’s returning because that is almost assured thing and just always remember there’s always the Panic my God he’s out in definitely it was does that mean it means they’re just not going to tell you because that happened like 4 days ago and now it’s like yeah Aaron Gordon did a full practice okay sick so remember out indefinitely does not mean a long time it just means we cannot Define when he is back you’d love for them to be able to Define but sometimes you’d rather hear add in definitely versus three months well I know every time I’d rather hear that so Gordon’s returning so if you wanted to make a preemptive move and move off of pton Watson good fine do it cool no problem we might get Paul George back this week I guess like yeah he’s like upgraded to questionable so he could be coming back and maybe Joel embiid is back I get questions all the time hey man would you trade this player for Joel emid no no I wouldn’t I would not trade anybody for Joel embiid nobody I don’t even care like someone sent me a question today was like what do you trade lar marinin for Joel embiid and or well maybe it was the other way around like would you trade embiid for marinin I don’t want either of those guys like I don’t I want both of them off my team if I’m if I actually drafted them I don’t want them there and I I what am I what sort of headache am I switching sure like Mark you can trade marketing and get inbi and beads are much better player than Marin but you does he play fewer games and WIS he I don’t want either of them I am not trading for Joel embiid I am not trading for Kawhi Leonard and I not interested in Larry Markin and really unless it’s just for like a outside top 100 player which it’s probably not considering he’s playing a little bit better we probably also get Demar de rozen back the Iron Man Who plays the most minutes in the NBA who is missed five games this season because of course father time gets here or you just get hurt yeah yep Derek W I’m not sure whether he’ll be available and then Luca donic is doubtful for Saturday’s game the Mavs have a Saturday Sunday back toback so there’s a chance that Luca plays in week six otherwise I’m pretty certain he’s going to return at some point here in week seven let’s go ahead and look at some weekly League guys to take a look at I think all of these guys and I’ve got four names I want to Chuck up here that you can take a look at they’re available in over 60% of Yahoo leagues and I think that if you grab them you’d probably start them this week now of course this doesn’t cover everybody who’s available in your league cuz guess what I don’t know who’s available in your league so I’m just going to give you numbers of 40% rosted or below players who I think are top 100 guys for the week one of them is Goa bedad but that could change like that that could change immediately I could say we’re not doing this anymore wendells at Santa and Goa you’re back to third string and that doesn’t happen anymore but I think we’re okay for the time being his teammate John Isaac also is playing 22 minutes tonight he’s not scoring very well but you know what you get with Isaac you get a lot of blocks you get some steals he’s a rebound guy sometimes with some threes and in 22 to 23 minutes we’re okay with that uh aumu is bad but he’s also just accumulating enough and with four games this week that’s probably useful there and then DeAndre Hunter also the Atlanta Hawks have a very good schedule I do not like Hunter’s overall category League game he is a a scorer who really doesn’t do anything else and needs to be on hot streaks but he is shooting well at the moment and that’s cool that happens long term it doesn’t but in the short term it does and with a nice little schedule plus a quality game the next week which doesn’t matter as much for weekly leagues um that’s interesting now also remember if you’re in a weekly League or you’re in a Yahoo setting the 14-day matchup just pay attention to four games versus three games in week seven because we don’t know what’s happening in week eight and the theory is that everyone plays two games although again there’s that random Rogue whatever that nonsense Nicks Raptors game is on the Monday that I don’t really understand why it’s there but you again we will get more clarity this and I do believe the NBA slightly tweaked it whereas last season this week was everyone plays two games in this time period but I do and then we had like a zero game day the NBA Cup Final and another zero game day and I they’re not doing that this season what I understand they’re doing is they got the NBA Cup Final on a Tuesday a zero game on the Wednesday and I think the Monday will have games I think there’ll be games on the Monday but again we we don’t know how they how they are scheduling that last season that is not what we had but what I understand that they will do is there’ll be some on the Monday to begin week nine and that’ll make next week even weirder it’s going to be weird it’s going to be weird and I am uh I’m waiting for the people who didn’t watch this show or any show that I put out this week to complain about Yahoo’s schedule but you don’t have to complain about the show ending because it’s happening or maybe you do want to complain because it’s ending now and what you can do though if you do want to complain the best way to complaints through is to hit a thumb up on this video that’ll get through our complaints department and they’ll know that you complained about it and we’ll try and do something about it leave your comments down below as well and don’t forget remember we are we’re all we’re doing good things small things big things something good yeah we do things wrong and we accept that and we understand that and we learn from it but look let’s let’s celebrate the positives let’s keep things positive let’s keep the Vibes strong and guys we are done here thank you so much for listening everyone one see you [Music]
