Anyway, Hutch's dedication to fantasy football content is shown through his work creating content for Football Guys and Dynasty League Football while also hosting his own podcast called Hutch Coming In Clutch (you'll hear him talk about the previous name on this pod).   Hutch also talks with me about having a recording studio in his bedroom, seeing the Philadelphia Eagles win a Super Bowl, balancing high school life and his fantasy football life, pursuing a full-time gig in the fantasy football industry, a Fantasy Football Expo wedding anniversary, and a ton more.     Make sure to go give Hutch a follow on Twitter @hutchinsonb_ff.  You can follow me on Twitter @thekaceykasem and the podcast @GetReal_Pod.  Get Real is a proud member of the Dynasty Addicts Podcast Network (the DAP Network).  Thanks again to everyone for listening to this show.  Make sure to come see me at The Fantasy Football Expo in Canton, Ohio, August 11-13, 2023.  Get your tickets now at thefantasyfootballexpo.com.  If you're a fan of playing fantasy football or you put out fantasy football content or just like talking fantasy football with other rad individuals… or… all of the above… go check out the Expo.   And now… here's my conversation with Hutchinson Brown on Get Real with Kacey Kasem.   Theme song by Audionautix.
