Ryan - I don't know if this clarification can be given, but I might as well ask - is #1 something that pertains to regular cast members or guest hosts? Or both?

1. Can we have music for the slideshow
2. I don't understand #7 because my math knowledge peaked in the 4th grade

I can’t fully answer that other than to say nobody was nominated for hosting

The adobe express thing I used to make the slideshows got a fresh update halfway through and before the change, music was the default and I couldn’t figure out how to turn it off.

Does the names list count different spellings together or not?

Ryan · Post by **Ryan** » Wed Sep 27, 2023 2:47 pm

I believe this is name on the birth certificate so every name is unique and listed separately. Pick the right Braeydyn!

I wanted that sweater! And I’m pissed I pussied out on the SNL question.

Gunpowder · Post by **Gunpowder** » Fri Sep 29, 2023 11:13 am

Welcome Swampcrash fans! It's week 4 and boy do we have a great slate of games for everyone. What are you guys focusing on today?

I'm going to be paying attention to the secondary, specifically how Sybian's secondary handles GPJ's overachieving offense. Who wants it more out there?

Is anyone going to talk about the quarterbacks? These guys touch the ball every play. The center snaps it to them after they say hut and then they run the offense. Rush has been playing with precision but has caught some unlucky breaks. He needs to keep it up and the wins will follow.

OMG! Whoa! Phwahhh

Wonderful! We're going to take a quick commercial break but we'll be right back to get to the kickoffs.

Hi, I'm Ryan Fitzpatrick. Have you tried Gushers? It's a fruit snack with fruit in it! It gushes out! Try some gushers!

Thanks Ryan Fitzpatrick!

Hey hey, it's Ryan Fitzpatrick. Do you have lupus? Try Pepcid AC! It won't cure your lupus but it will fix your heartburn.

Hey look, another Ryan Fitzpatrick commercial.
