E92: Drafts with Laura Van Vaketis

I love some friendly competition. I also love a competition with $3,000,000 on the line. I also love drafts. Fantasy drafts, real sports drafts, or just good old fashioned "don't-you-dare-steal-my-pick" kinds of drafts. When Laura came on for the Halloween episode, we did a candy draft, and had the listeners vote on Instagram for who got the better team. She edged me out, but it's like y'all have never heard of a hustle before...

This time we're back with TEN drafts, of all different topics. 5 picks each, and you'll get to vote on each and every one of the teams throughout the week when this episode drops.

The draft categories are...

• Superheroes/Villains
• Cartoon Characters
• Weapons You’d Use to Defend Yourself in a Zombie Apocalypse
• Animals
• Books
• Things That Are Blue
• Foods
• That Moment When... (the best feelings)
• Things You’d Find at Hogwarts
• Things That Start With The Letter "E"

Be sure to follow @thelink_podcast on Instagram to check out the stories Tuesday-Saturday the week the episode comes out, so you can vote on the polls for which teams were the best in each draft. Also follow @thelink_podcast on Twitter where I'll give commentary on how the polls ended up, and how much I love the listeners for having my back...which you will.

If you're a weekly listener please consider writing a review for the pod. You can find all the relevant links here so you don't have to waste time, and if you happen to listen on some other platform, kudos, ya got me. After I called y'all out for not doing it, it's the least I can do to link you.

If you enjoy this episode, drop us a line (where did that saying come from?) and we'll see about mixing in some more drafts.

Until next time...

If you're a sports fan, and want to get even further into the weeds about upcoming games, picks, and trends, subscribe to my YouTube channel - MikeTheMush. During football season we're posting videos weekly that look ahead to my favorite gambling picks of the NFL week, and some fantasy football sleepers to keep an eye on. Check out even more sports content as the seasons change @MikeMushSports on Twitter and Instagram. Our gambling picks have been hot all year, except for when the Mush gods decide to bring down their wrath. We're up over 90 units on the year as this episode comes out though, which means if you bet $10 on every game we choose in the videos, you'd nearly have a band in your pocket, and not the Beatles or that janky rubber band you use instead of a wallet. Get a money clip like a grown up. Wallets are too fat though, I'm with you there.
