In 2016, J&A had a shout out to a podcast they guested on for their budding podcast network. They explained the point of the draft was sandwiches. That was the entire point: to draft things.

I was immediately intrigued and paused and flipped over to AFE which only had two episodes at the time. I have loved Jake and Amir since the early Collegehumor days when they were doing their shorts on literal camcorders. But Ian was the star of the show. He had a quick wit and was a natural podcast host from the very beginning.

I enjoyed the podcast for their various guests but then the Mall podcast came out, which introduced Sean and David.

2016 Sean is a hard drinking, skateboarding, Crip walking fiend who can always be found with a bottle of Black Velvet.

2021 Sean still loves skateboarding but is married to the Queen, has a beautiful baby girl, and is just as positive as ever.

2016 David is a man who hits the comedy clubs, enjoys Cutty Sark, and reminisces about backpack chicken and 2 for 5s.

2021 David became the LITERAL voice of comedy Central, opens for Eric Andre, and the wildest drafter on the podcast.

Ian looks amazing (not that he didn't before), has a wonderful fiance, has quite a few awards under his belt, and is on track for a late night show.

We can't forget /u/Marsmel, who has not only won awards for her podcasts she produces, but the hearts of everyone.

This group has come so far and I'm so glad to see them accomplish everything in real time :)
