Joe Burrow, I think I gottasteal with him at the number two
overall pick.

I didn't like the bleached look.
That wasn't his best look, butmm-hmm.

This one was just off the domebecause I do love and adore him
so much and he is one of thegreatest of all times,
especially when it comes tofootball with seven Super Bowl
rings and a great smile rock andBo none other than Tom Brady
himself.

James (06:03):
Thomas Edwards.
I feel like this is a bit Bradywhatever, junior.

Spencer (06:08):
I feel like Silver Fox.
This is a, I feel like this is abit controversial though.
I don't know, man.
I feel like with everything thathe went through with Gisele, not
our Gisele, with his ex Gisele,I don't know.
He might not be the mostattractive guy in my eyes
anymore.
I, I look beyond just skinsurface level beauty there.

(06:29):
Giselle.
Oh, I'm not like you.
I look what's on the inside of,of someone.
Alright.
What?
That doesn't make any sense.
That matters to me.
Sense.
That matters to me.
Okay.
It does,

James (06:38):
does

Spencer (06:38):
matter.
Yeah.
Not a fan of Tom Brady.
Pick Giselle.
But it is back to me now and Icould go a lot of different
directions here.
I've got a lot of my studs stillon the board, but I think I'm
gonna go ahead.
I'm gonna take a chalky pick.
She's still on the board and I'ma big fan of hers for two big

(07:00):
reasons.
She isn't on the tour anymore,but gonna go ahead and take
Paige Spiron.
Hey s much better golfer thanany of us here.
And not only that, she isabsolutely just an absolute
smoke show.
Oh my goodness.
Ricky Fowler forever be damnedfor missing that putt in the

(07:23):
masters.
You bastard.
You robbed us yeah.
If you know, you know, damn you.
Ricky Fowler, Paige Spiron is mythird round pick and I'm done
with the ladies.

James (07:34):
Oh, well guess what?
I'm actually staying on my thirdround pick on the PGA tour.
I'm going with someone I justrecently found.
At first I said, dang, she is asmoke show.
Then I saw her on Happy Gilmoreand I was like, is that who I
think it is?
Gimme the PGA star Charlie Hole.
If you didn't see her in HappyGilmore too, man, she was yoked

(07:58):
up in the red, that red t-shirtand jean shorts and then Woo.
You go on that Instagram page.
Hey, that don't look like nogolfer to me, man.
Oh man.
All I know is man.
Hey, she can nevermind.
Nevermind.
I cannot say nevermind Smith.
And I'll say it.
Married man.
Married

Spencer (08:19):
man.
Married man.
Married man.
Yes.
Married man.
Yeah.
I wasn't familiar with CharlieHole.
I was not familiar with hergame, uh, until Happy Gilmore
two.
This is a good pick, James.
This is a very good pick.

James (08:31):
Yes.
Um, sparked right off the scenefor me, and I'll start off my
fourth round pick.
Now this one might be, you know,nobody really talks about her
that much, but I kind of noticedher just a smidge bit at Yukon
because now she's a Seattlestorm player.
Gimme Nika Mole, bro.

(08:53):
I love the WNBA players rightnow.
You know, what I like is theWNBA and their fashion trend.
There's just so much better thanthe pros and the NBA, but gimme
me.
I like this pulled back hair.
Nika Mole from the Seattlestorm.
It is just, it's something aboutthe little cute, petite face.
I like it.

(09:13):
I like it.

Spencer (09:16):
All right.
Well, I have to take one moreguy to round off my list and I
have some good options here, butI'm gonna take one.
I think this might surprisey'all, but I think this guy is
an absolute stud.
I think his personality is a lotto do with this, but for me, the
smile on Shohet.

(09:37):
That guy is a cutie patootie andof course he's one of the most
groundbreaking athletes in anysport of all time.
That right there gives him likea couple extra points on the one
to 10 scale right there.
Good guy.
Loves his dog, loves his wife,loves baseball.

(09:57):
Yeah.
Might gamble a little bit on theside allegedly, but allegedly
we, our vices, I'm not gonnajudge the guy.
Showy Tani electric personalityand like I said, that smile them
perley whites.
The dude's a stud.
Showy Tani is gonna finish offmy draft.

James (10:13):
Nice.
I'm interested that, that wasunique.
I'll give you that, Spence.

Jiselle (10:18):
Okay.
My fourth and final pick is alovely lady.
I fell in love with her wheneverI was in like third, fourth
grade when I first saw her inthe 2008 Beijing Olympics.
Oh.
Uh, goes to none other goldmedalist.
Sean Johnson.
I love her on social media.
She is so adorable, so cute.

(10:39):
And honestly, she, both her andNastia Luin, it was a tie
between both of them for myfinal pick, but they really,
really, really made me lovegymnastics.
And every time I did gymnasticsat that age, I always wanted to
be like them.
So that was my final pick frommy draft.
Sean Johnson.

Spencer (10:59):
Sean Johnson's a great pick even in 2025.
She's 33.
She looks spectacular.
She looks great.
That's a, she looks

Jiselle (11:06):
the same.
She's just so cute.
I love her.

Spencer (11:09):
Yeah, she's great.
Now, did you know it's actuallygood timing.
You picked her, you know, she'sabout to be on the next season
of Special Forces on Fox.

Jiselle (11:16):
Yeah, I did know that.
Both her and like my favoritehousewife from, uh, real
Housewives of New Jersey,Theresa Juche with her daughter.
Ooh.

Spencer (11:24):
Jesse James and Eric Decker are gonna be on it,
right?
That is handsome.
Gonna be on it.
Yeah.
Randall Co is a good, honorablemention fellow.
Do we want to do some honorablementions before we give back our
lists?
I'll go first one drafted.
Jimmy Garoppolo.

James (11:38):
That was one of my picks.
My honorable mentions is Jimmy gOdell Beckham and Kelly Ure.

Spencer (11:44):
Fair.
That's good.
That's good.
I got, yeah.
Jimmy Garoppolo, Carlos Alcaraz,handsome guy, top tennis player
in the world right now.
Livy Dunn.
She always comes up in theseconversations.
I felt like she was a little toochalky for me here.
So I went with, yeah, it wasbetween her and Paige Spiron for
me.
I went with Paige Spiron let's,I'm surprised

Jiselle (12:04):
neither one of you chose Cameron Brink.

Spencer (12:07):
That's good.
You know,

James (12:08):
that's the right there.
She was

Spencer (12:09):
on the board.
But I didn't want to, take allWNBA players and right now I
give Sophie over Cameron Brink.

Jiselle (12:17):
I feel that, yeah.
Well we've been able to see moreof Sophie just honestly be such
a true ride or die for CaitlynClark, which has been amazing.
And plus Cameron's been dealingwith an injury, so she's kind of
been behind the scenes.
So definitely makes sense.
Was a year

Spencer (12:31):
ago I probably would have drafted

James (12:34):
Cameron Green.
Cameron, yeah, Spencer probablywould've drafted Cameron Brink
and Hailey Van Lee in a likecombo package.

Jiselle (12:40):
You didn't pick Sunni Lee.
You're like Asian girls.
'cause she's like so cute too.
Dude.

Spencer (12:44):
She's on the list of my, honorable mentions.

James (12:48):
She is.

Spencer (12:48):
Yeah.
I just don't like you with arb.
Skyler Diggins.
She was always a heartthrob.
She was like the og WNBAheartthrob.
She was, we talked a little bitabout Maria Sharapova before we
started recording.
She has not aged well,respectfully.
But she was a big crush of mineback in the high school days.
And it's funny when you startreally thinking about it, like
all of these athletes, they'reall pretty hot if we're being

(13:10):
honest.
They're all in tip top physicalshape.
They all are pretty good oncamera.
So they have some personality.
Like these are all like somevery attractive people, at least
in my office.
Yeah, I could go with that.
Yeah.
I have no issue with this.
So Giselle, her sexy lineup isJalen Herz.
Sydnee.
McLaughin, Levon.
Tom Brady and Sean Johnson.
I've got Joe Burrow, SophieCunningham and Paige Spiron.

(13:33):
And Shhe Tani and rounding usoff.
