Mhm mm hmmmm mmm mhm. Sponsoredby Brandon I you Brandon, I you
(00:38):
can uh Marik Cooper for some ofyou others, because that's the fantasy god
of the week. Yeah, god, this dude with the god status.
But I welcome everybody. Can't bea ship week for those that made it.
(01:00):
Congratulations to those that did. Yougot you're looking at one of them
across away from you, from tomy to my left and to whoever's right.
But yeah, I was like into my front. Yes. So
yeah, Rich's in the championship andwell deserved, little deserved. He had
(01:25):
the team. I've been told youa long time ago. You had the
team, I said, if youdon't go so yeah, yeah, and
once again this this worked out.And I've never been a part of a
year like this where the playoffs wentthe way they have almost like exactly.
(01:49):
It's like, you know how liken C A A and four somehow four
number one seeds met up or somethinglike that. Yeah, like the seeding
and it played No, no,actually it didn't because was the three seed
and Taylor okay if Taylor Taylor.Yeah, but you know what though,
(02:13):
when you looked at his team andhow ravaged. He got like it wasn't
like an upset that he lost.No, I mean he wasn't a surprise
at all. I'm more so sayinglike Bob would have lost, right that.
That's kind of where I'm going withit. It's like, yeah,
the seeding was of such, butlike the teams that one should have won.
(02:36):
Yeah, and I never plays outlike that, but right, and
I would say, if I win, that would be probably the only upset
of the year of the of theplayoffs, because I I according to the
projectors, what is he predicted upman and your ifted a would like two
(03:01):
forty three. But that's also withhim having waddle in and he's out for
the year, so that'll change.Yeah, I just uh, I'm not
said I think I have a betteroverall team, but he has just such
(03:21):
a like they're so hot. Yeah, like like his team is white hot
right now. So it's like likeyou got you got better skills, positions,
and you're better you got I guess, better names, but better maybe
better production over the year players.But yeah, right now, at this
very time, yea, his teamis that they're just producing ridiculous right,
(03:46):
Like you need to put up threehundred, so you can lose by fifty
yeah. Yeah, yeah, Soin the saga that of the losers down
here in the ever going world,I hope that you know, my cloud
has left or something like that,because out of all the weeks, Remember
(04:09):
I told you I never want allfour? Yeah, did you? Finally
I find like, well I didn't. I didn't have a matchup in one
of the leagues, but I scoredmore than everybody in that league, so
I would have played somebody, Iwould have beat them. So yeah,
I want all of them. I'mlike, you would wait till the last
week to win them all. I'mjust hoping that Cloud is you know,
(04:35):
the forecast is sunny and shiny fromhere on out, because that was definitely
a dark age that was like youknow, no, I ain't gonna say
that, but it was dark ageslike medieval times. But yeah, well,
I mean you might as well goout with the band because you're not
(04:56):
in the in the other two anymore. So yeah, yep, so finished
fifth place in our league. Yeah, yes, that's the best you can
pretty much finish without being in thetop four. I mean, that's where
you ended up getting into the playoffs, right, you were the fifth seed,
right, No, I was thesixties. If I was, I
would have still been in last week. But I was the sixteed and I
(05:18):
got split by that ball buzz sawthat was coming fast. Yep, damn.
Because if I would have played Timmyinstead of Camp, I would have
I would have beat Timmy that week. Yeah, it's kind of funny.
I would have been playing because Iwould have been the highest seed. I
(05:40):
wouldn't play you because you were theone seed. Right. Well that's unfortunate.
Mm hmm, Well, so madeit one more round further. Yea,
I do think it's kind of funnythat two teams with the Steelers name,
like the Steelers kind of funny arein the play are in the champ
finals there. Yeah, so myname is I'd Rather Have a Picket Fence,
(06:05):
and Bob's name is Blame Canada,Matt Canada. Yeah, so who
was your name at the beginning though? Oh god, I don't know,
Oh man, I forgot what itwas said. I always go with tilted
(06:28):
something it ain't now yeah, yeah, and who was it? I don't
know. I couldn't remember either.Yeah, you always was like full tilt
or something like that. And thenin this league you were was it big
(06:51):
dig big energy? Yeah, thereit is. Yeah, okay you went
to rather have a pigot fits Yeah, so yeah, that's the young man.
Any any waiver wire hot sauce,if anybody trying to get or anything
(07:13):
like that. Yeah, yeah,so I put in a claim because there's
only two people that can claim stopstuff now, so it doesn't actually want
to say, it's not like you'regiving away anything. I'm just gonna pick
up that the here white. Yeah, I'm surprised nobody. Well, somebody
had them and then dropped them,and they dropped them so late that his
(07:34):
waiver wasn't you couldn't claim until afterthe games were over, which is a
bit of gamemanship. Honestly, Idon't hate it. Yeah, but he
put up damn near twenty last weekand this week. Yeah yeah, And
I'm just wondering if they're just gonnajust shut Jacob's down. Yeah mm hmm.
(07:57):
Should you know? I mean thatthe coach that the Pierce dude that
got inserted as an interim, he'strying to win the job. So and
his you know, he's a defensiveminded guy, so you know, he's
all about tough runs and running theball and yeah, yeah, that's a
good pick. I was just shockedthat he was out there. Yeah.
(08:20):
Well, I mean I think atthat point, like the rosters were,
I don't know, I think everyone'skind of playing for the week because you
can't really plan for next week becauseI think so Gorgon. So here's the
other thing too. His status wasup in the air, like right,
(08:43):
yeah, so like there was conflictingreports saying he was going and he wasn't
going to go, And it's likenobody wanted to touch right, Like,
I'm not burning acclaim on, butat this point you literally have there's one,
there's nothing else there to pick up, so you say claim for no
other week nine waiver claims it don'tmatter anymore. Yeah, yeah, take
(09:11):
a shot and cares. I mean, I'm probably not touching my line.
I'm probably just gonna leave it asis and call today you're still running with
art and who? Yeah? Yeah, who do we discussing? Was we
were talking about something on Christmas wherefor Christmas Eve? When I was saying
(09:33):
who you gonna put in for atand you said somebody who your bench that
blew up or did anything or new? I I put Herbert in for somebody.
Oh you I had already put Herbertin, Yeah, something like that.
I don't know. For some reason, I thought you had another word
(09:54):
Brown. I think so, Ithink, yeah, I think you said
you was gonna put Yeah, hegot like eight points, like yeah,
I mean, if you look atthe matchup itself, it was not a
Noah Brown situation. Yeah, butthink Strad coming back this week? He
(10:15):
might oh yeah, absolutely coming back. M yeah, two weeks three,
three week concussion. That's not thething. So is that a Noel Brown
start from you? Or you stilldon't want to touch him? Uh?
All right, Let's see who arethey playing here? Let's see. I
(10:37):
think they're planning to text Titans.Yeah, a visual game. Let's see.
Yeah, all right, so thehell are they lose my mind here?
(11:07):
Hold on? Yeah? Okay,yeah yeah, I oh, I
mean he maybe the chopping block fodderfor Whitey Jacobs doesn't go M and I
(11:31):
don't want to have I just uh, I you had your shine man like
I don't. Yeah, he producedvery well. He was a middle of
a season darling. I gotta givehim these props. But yeah, if
(11:56):
you think that course has ran,it's ran. Yeah, I just,
uh, you got a bad feelingabout it. I don't have any feeling
about it. That's why I'm Ijust don't want to do it. I
don't feel good or bad. I'mjust like you're here, say about the
(12:18):
way everybody Merry Christmas to you.Yeah, happy holidays now now, saying
Merry Christmas is just happy holidays.People don't really typically say Happy New Year
until the day of New Year.Yeah. People don't say oh, happy
New Year, like or well,sometimes some people say you have a happy
(12:39):
New Year, but most of thetime it's happy Holidays after Christmas has passed.
Yeah, that's fair. H Yeah, But the closer you get to
it, the more specific you are. Well, real quick, just so
everyone knows, this is not gonnabe a long episode. Reason being not
(13:01):
that we're like some kind of guruslike we've met, like we've mentioned many,
many, many times before. ButI don't think you need help set
in your lineup this week. Youwouldn't be in a position you are playing
the game that you're playing if youneeded assistance or start decisions at this point.
So we're not really gonna do thatthis week. This is more just
a kind of a you know,just talk for twenty minutes and get the
(13:24):
hell out. I will say nextweek it's gonna be our like State of
the Union address for our league.You know, what went well, what
went bad, what we can improveon, what changes we think we can
make, you know, just assuggestions. We've heard things like that.
(13:46):
And we're also going to lay outthe lay of the land of the end
of the year awards, which aregonna happen the week afterwards, which we'll
put you know, we're not gonnagive you the names of the awards.
We'll do that because you know it'sour show. But we're gonna go ahead
(14:07):
and just put up the nominees,put them up on some social media.
I don't know which one, probablyall of them who cares, and hopefully
all can vote. Uh you know, if you don't want to, thanks
for nothing, Dix, but uh, you know, just start going to
be a fun little thing. Itwould be a little tradition we do,
(14:28):
you know, why not, butuh yeah, just kind of just kind
of just well, you know what, we can actually talk about this real
quick, because we talked about thisa little bit on Saturday, or not
(14:50):
Saturday, maybe Saturday. Yeah,it was Saturday about the whole you know,
breakdown of money up top. Uh, you know what you do?
You know, do you do thenormal double? Then well you do the
the double of what second place wouldget and then the buy in a third
(15:11):
or do you make a gentleman's agreement? And it's just very funny that once
again we had that conversation and thenBob all of a sudden chirped his ass
in like with his little go gogo talking like he could just fill us
talk about it, and was like, you know what, I got an
opinion too, right right, andyou know I was kind of against the
(15:35):
whole idea of no, man,we're gonna do you know, six six,
three and one. But it wasjust he made the point of like,
well, why don't we just dofour to four and whoever wins gets
the extra hundo? Yeah, It'slike, no, that's actually okay,
(15:56):
that that makes sense because it's like, at that point, why can't we
both eat? Yeah? Yeah,I mean it's almost like a reward for
both of y'all making it to thatpoint. So here's your reward and it
becomes just one hundred dollar bet onthe game. It's like, okay,
now we just betting nine dollars thatmy team's gonna beat your team. You
(16:17):
know, congratulations, you got yourmoney because I made it, you know,
graduates to you. And that Imean, and it's like y'all the
last two lens and you know y'allgot a hundred a little bet. And
third differently, I mean, I'venever done that way and Andrews League,
the uh, the payout is athousand years. You got to split between
(16:38):
champions and this year the guy thatI said she was gonna win it and
had the stronger team. Like normallythey would do something like that, like
you said, each person get thisand then the last is a is an
extra one hundred or two hundred orsomething. This guy wanted no parts.
He split it right down the middle. He said, I just want to
(17:00):
win for pride and bragging ranks andfor the sake of a championship. He
split right down in the middle offive hundred, five hundred. I'm like,
I don't know if I would doall that. I mean, I
would at least put something on thatlast game. But yeah, he wont
he want he just want the championship. He doesn't really the money, don't.
I mean the money is not youknow, the main thing. It's
(17:22):
about having a championship I under hisbelt. He is that Has he ever
won one? Or is that?Oh? Yeah, he's won two times.
I remember I think he won.He might have won three times.
No, I think he won backto back years. Okay, so that
this will be I think the thirdtime he's been there. Yep. It's
(17:47):
actually my old college roommate from Philadelphia. Ooh yeah, yep. So yeah,
he's in the championship along with Andrewwho's kid and his cousin or something
they called themselves to their teen namescous dogs or some shit, but somehow
(18:07):
they got there. Mm hmm.It's the game, it's their championship.
Yeah. But yeah, I don'tknow. It's interesting. I was able
to flip that switch on it.I'm like, no, that's just that
that is it makes it more relaxing, Like it's not like you're not competitive,
(18:30):
but you just go into that knowinglike regardless, I was still gonna
make at least one hundred dollars morethan what I would have if I should
the bet. Yeah. That's likeone of the things where any type of
double double or something, Oh,you gonna definitely be really upset if you
don't get it, and you're gonnabe really elated and happy if you do.
(18:52):
But if you can lay somewhere inthe middle, Yeah, because then
if you win, you get theextra hundred and you get the chip and
you get the gap. Yeah.If you lose, it's like I still
made more than what I would havedone if I didn't do this, So
I didn't agree with this. Yeah, So yeah, like you said,
it just it just puts a levela little less pressure on you, right,
(19:18):
because it's almost like it's exciting gettingup to the championship game. Then
you get to the championship game andit's just like, fuck, you just
oversee you throw all of your strategyout the window. You're like you were
just overthinking and thinking and overthinking,and it's there you beat yourself up over
(19:41):
Like you you're less likely to beatyourself up over one hundred dollars, right
or of a three hundred Remember wetold we said it's almost like it's one
hundred dollar bet between y'all two.Imagine if you're doing six hundred and three
hundred, it's a three hundred dollarbet. I'm pretty sure you're gonna be
a lot more sit in a threebite bite. Yeah, So it just
(20:07):
it felt better. And it's notfor a lack of confidence or anything.
But I mean, I will readilyadmit Bob is that Bob is a favorite
here. He should win just basedon Hey, you get hot at the
right time sometimes that's that's what itis. And just the way he's been
blowing people out, it's like,oh, all right, so I mean
(20:29):
it that. It definitely was nottoo too hard of a decision knowing what
I was getting into either, SoI can't like just throw that out the
throw that out the window and saythat didn't play a minor part in it.
On's like, well, I meanshit, if you're you're giving me
an out here, I will takethat, sir. But the logical rational
(20:51):
part of me is like, no, that's actually that makes it more fun.
Mm And and you that's the perkof knowing the people in your league
as well, well, because it'slike you can make these agreements. You
can you know it's a cow No, that's fine, Like we both got
here. Let's celebrate that. Yeah, let's make the same minor bet instead
of a hey, right, Iknow, it's just after Christmas and you
(21:15):
don't have to recoup money. Ohwait, yes you do. You know.
It's like, well, all right, what do you think about the
third place game? I mean,considering the sweat Timmy puts you through,
is he had a chance against Taylor'steam? Or do you think Taylor's team
fell completely off the map? Imean, what is the projection here?
(21:38):
Let's see because I looked at that, but I did not look at that.
Uh, I mean they're well,I mean Taylor got the Taylor got
the up on him. Yeah.Uh what is he projected up eighteen?
M Oh, that's even with areal bad play. Oh, that's even.
(22:02):
Oh yeah, Taylor's winning this absolutely. He got Chris Rodriguez wherever his
name is he has, He's projectedto get point eighty. So he's sitting
with Pittman on the bench. Pittmanwill play Yeah, fuck you, Timmy,
what he did to his last year? Yeah, legit, I feel
(22:26):
bad, but I don't feel badat all. Mm hmm. But Timmy
is sitting with Chase on this bench, and as Addison's out for the year,
so that's not gonna be a who'sout for the year. Addison at
least for the fantasy year. Oh, Addison got hurt too, Yeah,
(22:48):
he got He was out like middleof second quartering high ankle spring. Don't
believe what happened to Hawkinson. I'mlike, what, wait, did that
happen? Yeah, it didn't lookit did not look I didn't say nothing
about it during again, an't evenbecause it didn't look bad. Yeah,
I just noticed he went in therea couple of plays. I ain't know
(23:11):
he tore all that ship. Yeah, it was an a c O in
a m C O I think.Yeah, mm hmmm. It's a shame.
But you ain't got no major injuriesgoing and I have been very healthy
this year other than Eckler and Imean Palmer. But I I guess you
(23:41):
can hum on an Ir though.Yeah, like I basically picked him up
off. I picked him up onI R basically, So it's like I
can't really complain if you never hadhim. Mm hmm yeah, yeah,
that's that's a good hmm. Tonsof injuries, I mean tons of injuries
(24:06):
and bad Andrews yeah, oh yeahyeah, Mark Andrews. Yeah yeah.
You imagine my team with Andrews thoseship who hey, hey, that would
have made yesterday a lot easier todeal with it had been up by like
(24:26):
you know, one hundred and fortyor something thirty or some ship. Yeah,
but the main thing is main pointgot here. Yeah. Yeah.
And I I'm not saying I didn'tlike expected. I mean you always expect
to kind of get into it,but the way I got into it,
(24:49):
just like after Hurt's gone the squad, I just was like, boom,
let's rocket ship to the universe.Let's go. Yeah. So I'm looking
at these matchups here to see ifthere's anything you even to really speak on
that's interesting. But like I said, this is gonna be a real short
(25:11):
show because there's not much to talkabout. Like it's you know what happened,
we know what we're getting into.We don't need to talk talk about
start sets. It's just kind ofmore like, hey, here's what the
next few episodes are going to be. Type of thing we already discussed the
Waiter. Yeah, and you saidthat you're gonna pretty much set your line
(25:33):
for Waiter's nothing, no major changesyou're gonna make or you know what you
should do. Actually, here's whatwe can do. Let's read off the
let's read off the championship final lineup. Okay, go ahead. Yeah,
oh that's that's that's the third place. Fuck you losers. So I'm just
(25:55):
gonna go now, mind you,there is a move that has to be
made for waddle, but I'm justgonna go across the board, like left
or right. I'm on the lefthand. Quarterback, quarterback, quarterback,
quarterback. Okay, go ahead.So Jared Goff against Dak Prescott Huld.
Actually that game is actually against eachother. Yeah, they are. Literally,
(26:19):
that's crazy, that's silly. It'sgonna make your Saturday night because it's
a Monday night game, but theyput it on Saturday, So that's gonna
make your Saturday night. Your foolcool too. Oh yeah, there isn't
a Monday Night, is there.I don't know if there's normal, but
I just know that this Saturday Day. I've seen it on ESD ND to
day. It was like Monday Nightspecial on Saturday. I'm like, oh,
(26:42):
okay, yeah, they're probably notdoing it on Monday then, yeah,
because New Year's Eve because motherfuckers aregetting lit. Yeah that makes sense.
Okay, well it'sday right, Yeah, it's actually the New Year's Day.
Oh yeah, hm hmm. Yeah. I don't know. Look,
I'm still fucked up because Christmas ison a Monday. I can't. I
(27:03):
can't handle it. It's weird tome. So Jalen Hurts and Josh Allen,
Oh, so are we saying whichone you think is gonna outperform or
we just no, no, no, no, I'm just rereading off the
roster's kind of see you know.Yeah, that's because that's all about where
they're like, that's a random chancewhere they're at in the lineup right there.
(27:27):
So so basically you got four quarterbacksthat pretty much every everyone in America
is starting. So let you knowhow they got to the championship. Yeah,
championship with some random quarterback? Imean right, yeah, it's pretty
good. Damn quarterbacks? Yeah theyare? Are you and Wattle? And
(27:53):
you just said Wattle ain't playing?So yeah, so that'll get who's on
this bench that you think that hewould He'll put Quentin Johnson in, Okay,
okay that or he'll flex out someonehe can't. All his flexes are
running backs. Guy's gonna see hasHunter Henry in there? But well fuck
(28:17):
you, Bob uh A, J. Brown and Rassi Rice. Okay,
this is why we're not doing Thisis why we're not doing it with the
line items like versus type of thingJ s N against Marie Cooper. He
(28:40):
had a Maury Cooper. God damn. I can know that very well because
he he's splatter house the ship outof me two weeks in a row.
Sure did Uh DeMarcus Robinson and DeVanteAdams, Okay, Josh Palmer and and
(29:00):
that Washington kid from Jacksonville, Uh, Paris Washington or some ship like that
is a p Washington. Yeah,yeah, he's not on any my I
have given I know, no noFox Eckler against Gibbs hm. That'd be
(29:23):
interesting a few years back with Gibbscurrently e t N against Killer cam Camara
Camara Uh, Montgomery against Singletary MHM, Schultz against likely MHM uh Sherwin Williams
(29:45):
against Rondelle White. Yeah, twoof them. See y'all hearing these team
days. This is why these guysare in the championship. You hear any
some of these names, I meantwo massively productive backs for White and Williams.
I mean in the flex fucking silly. Uh. This is where it
(30:07):
starts to get a little interesting,is where this is where the deeper stuff
come. Once you get below thetight end, that's when it is getting
hairy. Yeah, pretty much.So Kate Aughton against a chain, Now
that might be a Herbert flip forme. We'll see, depends if depends
(30:30):
how that what the backfield looks likeat that point. So that's pending.
But yeah, and Noah Brown againstZeke. I know we talked about not
having Noah in there, but itis all dependent on what well on that
way, I'm doing the waiver flameI forgot. Yeah, I think I
(30:52):
think Remandre Stevens is coming back thisweek, so Zeke might not be a
go. Yeah, yeah, thereyou go. Well, I mean,
hey, like I said before,fuck you Bob. I mean the the
bench is is bad. I'll justread that off. Khalil Herbert against Quinton
Johnson, uh, Gino Smith,uh, Justice Hill, Eli Mitchell Hunter,
(31:18):
Henry Duke Johnson. Uh oh god, what the hell is his name?
Taysom Hill. There we go,Okay, Zach Moss, Baker Baker
Mayfield and I have nobody and hehas Cream Hunt. But I'll have uh
to hear White on there. Soyeah, you said earlier that you might
(31:40):
have to drop somebody against I'm like, you probably got to open slot.
Well, well, no, Iput Moss. When they put him out,
I put them on. I Rreal quick so I can describe a
random ass person just to you know, play defense or whatever. And I
just I dropped Tilman today to makeroom for my waiver, so because they
pretty much made him not questionable,like immediately after the game. And I
(32:05):
know there's a lot of handcuffs there, and I thought about just dropping everybody
and just rolling with what I had. But I'm like, we'll see.
Because it's week seventeen, you neverknow, like there may be a weird
practice injury or like, oh well, we're gonna sit him this week so
he's ready for the playoffs. It'slike yeah, oh yeah cool. And
then here lately, over the pasttwo or three years in Fantasy, there's
(32:27):
been this the mysterious illness and sometimesit's not even injury related. It's like
they got the flu or they gotsomething or I guess that's like pre I
mean post COVID, Like because itused to be mother others would be out
for COVID. You'd be like,oh my god, I was depending on
him. Yeah, they're out becauseof COVID you'd be like, oh shit,
(32:49):
but now it's like illness. SoI'm assuming that's like a flu.
Well you think about it. Weather'sgoing up and down, warm cold,
warm cold warm gold. So likethat was well, I mean you Christmas
was warm yesterday, it was evenwarmer today. I'm like, god damn.
Yeah, yeah, it's pretty wild. But yeah, that's the championship
matchup. I mean, obviously it'sjust Tuesday, so who knows what moves
(33:14):
will be made, but I wouldimagine not too too much. You kind
of go with Pagati here. Youmake a few little alterations and like,
like the Herbert move that it wasa good call. Obviously. When he's
talked about the Thursday night game,he was like disgusting. I bet you
(33:37):
you'll be watching that motherfucker because MamuriCooper will be in it. No,
I'm not gonna watch that ship.Why would I want to watch that?
No, I don't. You don'twant to see him, don't you?
You just want to just go flipforward and just see how many points you
got scored against you? No,I'm not. I don't know if I
want to do that. I mightjust delete the app till until Saturday,
(34:01):
because that's it's it's it's one ofthose things where one the game is gonna
be fucking atrocious too, knowing Ihave zero skin in it and he does,
there is no desire to want towatch that. Why would I want
to watch games if my opponent isthere? No, you will not force
me to watch the Jets. Idon't give a ship. You was sure
(34:22):
was paying attention to what your opponentwas doing last night, That surely was.
I mean you have to, butyeah, I mean if you ain't
gonna watch the game, you ain't. I mean, yeah, I just
there, like, who's the Sundaykid? I will desire to have Breeche
Hall. That's about it. Yeah, is there a Sunday day game actually
(34:47):
Sunday night? I don't know.I don't even know the schedule. I
haven't really even dove into the newmatchups. I just know about the Thursday
one. I don't I will.I will tell you this that I at
least seemingly neither one of us haveany skin in any Thursday night game.
(35:10):
So we're basically gonna know what's goodat about seven o'clock Sunday night. You
said neither one of y'all got anyskin and what any and any Thursday night
or I'm sorry, any Sunday nightgame, like like the Thursday game he
(35:32):
got Cooper going in that one.Yeah, I may have said Thursday as
my bad, but yeah, I'mnot seeing. I don't. I can
look, but I don't care.So there's no Sunday night game. I
mean, now I'm curious. God, damn it, fuck you. That's
what I was looking at it tobegin with. Now, I mean I
was, and I just didn't careanymore because I'm like, all right,
(35:58):
I mean, and there's no Mondayright because they put that on Saturday.
So m hmm. Yeah, let'ssee here. Oh, I know why
there's no Monday night game. Thatdamn the college fucking football championship games is
(36:21):
we're not the champions wayoff games bothon January first, and they want to
take put all the attention on thecollege sport. I mean not get it
makes sense, I guess. Yeah, let's see yep, because all those
games, those games are I thinkfive o'clock and then eight o'clock. They're
(36:44):
both on on New Year's Day.It's funny what money will do for you?
Yeah, yeah, you got nomoney you fantasy championship game. I
guarantee you even some of the mostdiehard college fans will be watching the NFL
(37:05):
game over top of college football playoffs. Oh absolutely, Okay, all right,
so there is one. So it'sPackers and Vikings. When you all
got new Packers or Vikings mm hmm. You used to have Addison, to
have Madison too, you got ridof them, yep, And they both
(37:29):
did funck all to me this week. You know what they scored, you
know what they scored last week againstme collectively collectively together? Yeah, yeah,
take a care. I think Madisonhad maybe like a point and Addison
you said he got hurt, probablylike four points together. Okay, you're
(37:54):
saying four points one point one together? Yeah, Madison that negative negative point
damn Yeah. Yeah. Well,I mean, once again, you don't
(38:17):
start someone that's literally questionable all week, that's following up against someone that got
a hondo last last week on theground, What the fuck are you doing
it? It's not that's I mean, there's there's people that's passionate and then
there's this lazy players like everything waseverything that it's about to he says,
(38:42):
lazy. So he was he wasn't. He was too lazy to go out
and find a replacement for Madison,so he just left them in there because
I mean, you knew not tostart that dude, but he didn't feel
like doing any diligence and going tothe wire and picking nobody. Uh.
A lazy player, man, That'swhy. If he didn't deserve it last
(39:06):
year, but he got it.More props to him. I'm never I'm
not gonna try to take your championshipaway from you to me, but I
will fuck you. You went,you went to stand for ship. I'm
I'm looking at a mother if amother of the catch two passes in a
row. I'm like, who isthat? Oh? You know what's funny?
(39:31):
You know who's you know? Gotuh cat today? Cut? Yeah,
h Snead. I was like,I saw you. The first thing
I thought. I was like,damn is that the fucking snead that was
(39:52):
catching passes from Drew Brees is fuckingninety years old and he was still well
running routes. Hey another person thatgot caught today that that look did good
work for me for about two orthree weeks. Darryl Henderson cut yeah bye
(40:12):
Rams cut him completely. Yeah,back to the couch. But you know
what, he produced for about twothree weeks for me, good good,
good stuff. And then they thenKaren came back, and then I was
like, hey, you're on thewaiver wire because stupid here you go come
home to daddy news for him.But it's gonna be interesting. I am
(40:42):
gonna watch y'all match up. Yeah, zero pressure and enjoy it because I
don't know how Bob tilts, butI know how you too, so I'm
almost gonna be vicariously going through you. Yeah, I know how you feel.
So uh, me and Bob tiltthe same. Okay, I'm I'm
(41:07):
I'm more verbal. Uh there's Bobwanting people to throw some ship at the
wall or some ship. That's wheredifferent. That's me. Oh you don't,
of course you don't, but I'mtalking about no, no I do.
(41:27):
Oh yeah, y'all everyone who's listening, all four of you sign up.
After what happened. It was aplay one of these somebody was playing
against Rich and they scored or theydid something. He was like, man,
feel my pulse up. No,no, no, it was it
(41:52):
was the fucking It wasn't even ascore. It was your hittle or something
doing something and you was like,oh, like like I went up grabbed,
I gripped up your hand like Iwas like a mom and a supermarket.
I was like, can you feelhis heart was skipping beats like hell,
(42:14):
like like ten kids on the Hopscotchmotherfucking playground. They was skipping away.
The fucker that had nothing to dowith football. I have a murmur,
but yeah, that's but that's that'sthe that's the part that makes you
feel alive and like like literally theroller coaster of emotions you saw me go
(42:34):
through. Like as you left,I'm just like, h and I'm like
trying to be chipper and trying toI'm like, well, I still got
a player. It's gotta do nothing. It's fine. And I was like,
he isn't doing anything. I'm tellingyou, I'm a hot passage myself.
(43:04):
I don't throw ship at anything.But yeah, like I told you
that one championship. Man, itwas like I fell down to my knees
like oh like and then when it'sgoing really really bad, I'm just like
I'm pacing walking back and forth andthen you know, me, I creeping.
I let the why me creeping inand I'm like, this gotta happen
(43:27):
a fucking man, and I'm fuckingscreaming it. I'm just like, man,
it's a roller coaster. It iscrazy. It is. And as
long as you can be on theroller coaster and you're not just always on
like the like you didn't have aredemption fucking story, then you're like,
(43:49):
I fucking knew it all the way. I was on the Turtle pretty much
this whole year with like a littledip like now you know what it was.
You were on the Turtle the wholeyear. But you start off as
a little kid and it was great, and it was the fuck is this
ship? You're like, I'm gonnago ride the whip like the big kids.
(44:20):
You was on the Turtle, butyou started out young. That was
a great analogy here. You werehappy as fun. The same thing with
that Kangaroo ship, that little babydip hover. You be like, oh
ship that was. You get older, you'd be like what the fuck?
You're like, you know you dothat and you're like my fucking back hurts,
(44:45):
like slow down, yeah, Imean to take you have to take.
You have to take drama, meanto get on the Kangaroo and ship.
Now, yeah, as long asthough it's the roller coaster, but
we enjoy it. That's why wecome back everything every year. As long
(45:07):
as I'm healthy enough, and damnit, I gotta be truly sick to
somehow skip out on it. I'mgonna I'm gonna keep coming back. I
mean, I mean, in allactuality, it is relatively low effort.
Let's be honest, like it is. But at the same time, it's
(45:29):
low effort. It's hard. Youfeel connected to the NFL and to the
players, and you feel like youroffensive fucking coordinator, your defensive you turn
into a part of the teams.You had the conversation last night. We're
just sitting there thinking like you.You you're in that last game of the
week and you're either up or down. You're sitting here, game plan of
(45:51):
the next You're just like, allright, listen, you gotta let them
score here, right, you gotnine minutes left. Now, hear me
out, hear me out now right, you got two good running backs.
It's like you gotta do. They'resitting there, like you said, it's
(46:13):
nine minutes. And then you know, we were sitting trying to figure out
what bought him and We was like, Okay, now they're gonna try to
run it a little bit to eatup claw, but at the same time
they want to possess the ball,right, Lamar is a part of the
running attack. What do you dohere? Yep? We turned into full
blown. We turned into analysts,experts, scouts, coordinators and coaches.
(46:40):
Be sure fucking work scouts, yourgod, damn right. We were brom
telling you, man, Justice Hillgot the juice, give him the rock.
But it is it is, Iwould say, introducing myself for being
(47:00):
introduced to whatever you want to say, it is a godsend, because God,
it makes these eight weeks not well, nine weeks, not eight weeks.
Wait what hold on, it's noteight weeks. You're fucking stupid.
What are you talking about? Youmean fourteen fifteen? What week are we
(47:21):
on? Seventeen fucking a million?Yeah, seventeen weeks. I meant to
I was thinking like months, butI still wasn't right because I'm like eight
months, stupid, four months.It just it has, Like you said,
I've been a god. It's beena godsend from a fan standpoint in
a city where everything was geared onjust the home team, and it was
(47:45):
hard to get past those games,man, especially if they just continuously lose
and you gotta wait, now,I don't even watch it, bitches,
Like what did motherfuckers do before RedZone? Like you were sitting here,
like because you weren't streaming constreams itwas around here. It was even more
(48:06):
terrible because because we play in thedivision with Cleveland Cincinnati, who's only been
good for maybe the past three tofive years, we used to have to
watch those games because for some reason, after the Steller game, they would
put on the game that was inyour division, and these motherfuckers were terrible,
and it was just like you hadno investment at all, Like after
(48:30):
the Stealer game, it was eithergo to the bar and celebrate if they
won and not give a fuck aboutany of the games until maybe later on
or something like that, Like youfound something else to do. Now.
It's like, motherfuckers, from theminute you hear seven hours of commercial free
football, it's fucking all fucking daynot moving, not moving but moving scarcely
(48:59):
and watching all of that ship withoutfantasy. And I would never have done
that, Like I just, yeah, here's my thing, Like could you
watch Red Zone every week? Ifit wasn't for fantasy. Really could I
don't think, you know, Imean as good as red zone it,
(49:21):
I don't think I could. Iwill fall asleep on that shot, you
know the reasons Like that's the thing, Like, yes, I love football,
I love watching football, but I'malso like, if I have nothing
going, I don't like I'm notwatching Week eighteen. I have I will
actually spend time with my No,I won't, I'll find something else,
but I will her let her downstairsand hold the remote. Yeah. So
(49:54):
yeah, definitely has a part.I mean red zone it's like alone as
an enhancement to fantasy. It waslike, it's like, whoever created red
zone news? This is all wewant to see. I mean, we
(50:15):
don't want to see a five yardoutpack to fucking Chris Godwin. We want
to see the motherfuckers postal zone andwhat happens. I would be curious to
look up the stats over the lastwhat's the salt? This is called twenty
years, like the the influx offantasy, Like the percentage of the of
(50:37):
the fan base that plays fantasy,and then the fan and then the percentage
of the people that watched red zonelike on a regular basis is symmetric and
and correlated at least because there's noway of campy like there's there are junkies
(50:59):
out there, there's people like sportsbet and I get it. Yeah yeah,
betting, Okay, betting especially whatthe what do uh what is it
called the parlay bets and all ofthat. Yeah, but I'm saying before
that was the thing like whenever itwas like you talk to your bookie,
that was the usher a church.You're like, yo, so so tent
on the fucking skins. Yeah,you talked to church. Is a bookie.
(51:22):
So I can say that because mygrandpa literally his bookie was an usher
at church. No bullshit, Like, so that's a real life example.
We would go to Saturday service andthen on our way out we would take
the little trip over to the littlelittle dude you sit in the car,
and he'd go fucking make his betsand uh fucking he would have his little
(51:46):
clipboard but with his spreads and fuckinga red marker and a black marker,
and he's like and he would goto the chart the next week and fucking
collect dang. Mm see, Iwould be scared to do so. She
looked bet at church because my eyes, I wouldn't be I mean it's already
(52:07):
you know, risky businesses throwing itfrom the home from business crazy right,
because the priest definitely wasn't skimming offthe top or nothing. Right. He
probably was, but I'm talking aboutjust me between the raceship, between me
and my maker. That wouldn't thatwouldn't rubbed me well, I mean fair,
(52:28):
but that dude was bold as shiphe put running in the gamut at
church. Absolutely, he wasn't theother one like you think of all the
occers were basically bookies. Dude,totally hell. I mean I don't think
(52:52):
he was pushing anything like big moneywise, but like yeah, I mean
like like yo, you're the youryour you know, go down, go
give me the fishy look at it. We still still in a short episode,
(53:14):
and I mean technically it's still short. Yeah yeah, yeah. So
tomorrow, uh, the X's andO's kind of the let's call that our
little uh what I call the otherwhat I call next week's episode the uh
(53:36):
not the town Hall but out stayof the union. So we're gonna do
our kind of year in review ofour lives and the podcast lives tomorrow.
So be fun episode figured, youknow, kind of just really could have
put a stamp in the year andsay, Okay, this is what we've
accomplished, this is what we've beenthrough, what we've done. Yeah,
well, why would you do ayear in review on that? Will continue
(54:01):
that show? I mean, becauseit's the end of the physical calendar year,
so we're just kind of recaptain,you know, the year in it.
You know, because from twenty twentythree beginning, you know, I
was, you know, living ina different circumstance, and then right about
(54:22):
April everything thing and Easter Sunday wasborn, and so one's yeah, is
that Oh yeah, I'm all right, wait let me, I can't do
my super dark humor believe that beYeah, yeah you can with that one.
(54:45):
I did not think of that.That is that is dark, and
that's to make my heart smile,and that shouldn't. I'm a bad person.
It's fine, but I figured thatwould be a cool little thing.
You can really just kind of talkcandidly like you've gone through it through you
(55:06):
know, we've touched on it ina few episodes. We've never really dedicated
an episode to really like compartmentalizing andjust really reflecting and saying ship. All
right, man, this is aboutthat time where everyone does that anyway,
but we actually did ship this year, so we have something to really like.
Huh Okay, this is we.We we started a business sort of
(55:34):
and I don't know, I feellike we became better friends, we become
big. I think we became betterpeople. We've learned a boatload about each
other. And it's my pill.Yeah that's and like you said, it's
(55:54):
therapeutic or cathartic. Yes, yes, that was the word. That's my
buzzword for the year. God damnity. I mean sometimes, I mean,
just outline the story. Sometimes youdon't have time to pause and have that
discussion with yourself, that shower discussionwith yourself about each and every topic.
(56:15):
But once you've slow yourself down andthen talk about it, there's some things
I talked about. When we showedthat, it was almost like I ain't
gonna say eye opened it to myself, but it was like almost like me
making myself aware of what what pictureI'm painting. And I didn't really see
it until we sat down and gotthe buck. Yeah. I mean,
(56:37):
it's a crazy, weird thing whereyou you get to be your own mirror,
like you are talking to the universebasically, but you actually are saying
it out loud, like you hadthese conversations in the shower all the time.
Yeah, now you're actually verbalizing itto somebody and then whoever else is
(57:00):
and then it's like, oh shit, like interesting, okay, Yeah,
like right there, I was gonnamake a really really really terrible Jesus joke
and I didn't because I'm a fuckingadult. Yeah. So yeah, that's
(57:22):
that's gonna be a good show.You know, the stated a union Like
you said, Yeah, I don'thave any other better way to put it.
It really just feels like that.Yeah. And also I think it's
really good that we did the Wekind of switched up the whole profile on
how we're doing this. And we'redoing the football once a week and and
(57:45):
you know, the exes once aweek. And I don't know if post
football, if we're going to keepit on Wednesday or if you want to.
I figured that way we can keepour weekends open again. I don't
know. I mean, I knowthe weekends is your free day, but
it just seems like there's too manyoutside factors that can that a way so
(58:09):
yeah, I probably will want tojust keep it on Wednesday because who's doing
anything on Wednesday? Honestly? Imean yeah, like what the fuck what
is there to do Wednesday? Andthen once the football season is over,
it's going to be super no,super shitty fucking Wednesday. So yeah,
that's almost so Yeah, it's justlike I said, the weekends, this
(58:34):
is just too many variables or factorsthat can make it somehow cancel the show.
And what what I mean besides beingyou know, stuck at the office
or being sick or just can't evenfunction, what excuse you really got for
Wednesday? Yeah, not for manyNo, and you know what, there
may even be you know, weekswhere we are just like yo, you
(58:58):
bored, Yeah, just pop ontalk for a little bit. Okay,
who knows, Like some ship mayhappen. It's like, hey, I
want to kind of speak on this, and it's like, okay, cool,
let's do it. So bonus,Yet we keep the weaker Yeah,
I mean that and that and Ifeel like that way. It's it's more
(59:19):
like if something really like prevalent happensthat we want to speak on, we
can just shoot like it's obviously it'san impromptu things so it'll be fresh.
So I don't know, we'll seebigger after football season. Even Sundays open
up because there ain't ship to doall Sunday, you like, there really
(59:45):
isn't. There's never any hockey gameson Sunday. I mean rarely, but
it's Yeah, I gotta find away to like get away from my family
then because I am not trying tobe bothered by them. Yeah, I
mean, that was the day thatmost of the time that you know,
(01:00:07):
you know, we would go outto eat dinner. We like, we
deserve everything. Someday when football seasonain't going on, Yeah, that is
a family day, you like itor not. I gotta I gotta fix
that. I gotta I gotta likeget a mistress or something, just keep
(01:00:30):
myself entertained. I can't be aroundthese people for twelve hours. Jesus Christ.
Damn. That is depressing ship.There is nothing, oh Secruary whatever
after that. Oh it's like themcommercials that you see where they be they
(01:00:51):
be hugging and they be like thenext day without football, it's like that's
another day. Like they be huggingall of a sudden on the ball by
fold and the regular day thing,like I'm gonna wake up and be like,
I'm I'm cold and alone. Idon't he said, I'm cold and
(01:01:13):
alone? Right, I need Ineed a comfort blanket. I need Oh
god, I gotta. I gottaget into somebody's school something. It's so
long of a break from February allthe day cocaine. I gotta buzz up
(01:01:38):
and watch you boys because I don'tcare about none of that. Ship yeah
really mm hmmm. Two. Allright, well, good talk. We
will we will see you all tomorrow, and I'll probably have something to tell
about oh oh yeah, oh ohthe draft. We are doing our worst
(01:02:04):
commercial draft. And I've been beatinghis head in about doing this and we're
doing it because listen, there isa like I this is tomorrow. Let
(01:02:27):
it out the level of anger thathappens to me during certain commercials. So
I mean, are you saying recentcommercials? Are you seeing them all the
time, all the time? Anything? Okay? Mh Like I'm ready,
I'm ready to kick a cat rightnow. Well that's a preview. That's
(01:02:52):
called a teaser. We will seeyou all tomorrow, friend of Advisory.
Alright, what
Mhm mm hmmmm mmm mhm. Sponsoredby Brandon I you Brandon, I you
(00:38):
can uh Marik Cooper for some ofyou others, because that's the fantasy god
of the week. Yeah, god, this dude with the god status.
But I welcome everybody. Can't bea ship week for those that made it.
(01:00):
Congratulations to those that did. Yougot you're looking at one of them
across away from you, from tomy to my left and to whoever's right.
But yeah, I was like into my front. Yes. So
yeah, Rich's in the championship andwell deserved, little deserved. He had
(01:25):
the team. I've been told youa long time ago. You had the
team, I said, if youdon't go so yeah, yeah, and
once again this this worked out.And I've never been a part of a
year like this where the playoffs wentthe way they have almost like exactly.
(01:49):
It's like, you know how liken C A A and four somehow four
number one seeds met up or somethinglike that. Yeah, like the seeding
and it played No, no,actually it didn't because was the three seed
and Taylor okay if Taylor Taylor.Yeah, but you know what though,
(02:13):
when you looked at his team andhow ravaged. He got like it wasn't
like an upset that he lost.No, I mean he wasn't a surprise
at all. I'm more so sayinglike Bob would have lost, right that.
That's kind of where I'm going withit. It's like, yeah,
the seeding was of such, butlike the teams that one should have won.
(02:36):
Yeah, and I never plays outlike that, but right, and
I would say, if I win, that would be probably the only upset
of the year of the of theplayoffs, because I I according to the
projectors, what is he predicted upman and your ifted a would like two
(03:01):
forty three. But that's also withhim having waddle in and he's out for
the year, so that'll change.Yeah, I just uh, I'm not
said I think I have a betteroverall team, but he has just such
(03:21):
a like they're so hot. Yeah, like like his team is white hot
right now. So it's like likeyou got you got better skills, positions,
and you're better you got I guess, better names, but better maybe
better production over the year players.But yeah, right now, at this
very time, yea, his teamis that they're just producing ridiculous right,
(03:46):
Like you need to put up threehundred, so you can lose by fifty
yeah. Yeah, yeah, Soin the saga that of the losers down
here in the ever going world,I hope that you know, my cloud
has left or something like that,because out of all the weeks, Remember
(04:09):
I told you I never want allfour? Yeah, did you? Finally
I find like, well I didn't. I didn't have a matchup in one
of the leagues, but I scoredmore than everybody in that league, so
I would have played somebody, Iwould have beat them. So yeah,
I want all of them. I'mlike, you would wait till the last
week to win them all. I'mjust hoping that Cloud is you know,
(04:35):
the forecast is sunny and shiny fromhere on out, because that was definitely
a dark age that was like youknow, no, I ain't gonna say
that, but it was dark ageslike medieval times. But yeah, well,
I mean you might as well goout with the band because you're not
(04:56):
in the in the other two anymore. So yeah, yep, so finished
fifth place in our league. Yeah, yes, that's the best you can
pretty much finish without being in thetop four. I mean, that's where
you ended up getting into the playoffs, right, you were the fifth seed,
right, No, I was thesixties. If I was, I
would have still been in last week. But I was the sixteed and I
(05:18):
got split by that ball buzz sawthat was coming fast. Yep, damn.
Because if I would have played Timmyinstead of Camp, I would have
I would have beat Timmy that week. Yeah, it's kind of funny.
I would have been playing because Iwould have been the highest seed. I
(05:40):
wouldn't play you because you were theone seed. Right. Well that's unfortunate.
Mm hmm, Well, so madeit one more round further. Yea,
I do think it's kind of funnythat two teams with the Steelers name,
like the Steelers kind of funny arein the play are in the champ
finals there. Yeah, so myname is I'd Rather Have a Picket Fence,
(06:05):
and Bob's name is Blame Canada,Matt Canada. Yeah, so who
was your name at the beginning though? Oh god, I don't know,
Oh man, I forgot what itwas said. I always go with tilted
(06:28):
something it ain't now yeah, yeah, and who was it? I don't
know. I couldn't remember either.Yeah, you always was like full tilt
or something like that. And thenin this league you were was it big
(06:51):
dig big energy? Yeah, thereit is. Yeah, okay you went
to rather have a pigot fits Yeah, so yeah, that's the young man.
Any any waiver wire hot sauce,if anybody trying to get or anything
(07:13):
like that. Yeah, yeah,so I put in a claim because there's
only two people that can claim stopstuff now, so it doesn't actually want
to say, it's not like you'regiving away anything. I'm just gonna pick
up that the here white. Yeah, I'm surprised nobody. Well, somebody
had them and then dropped them,and they dropped them so late that his
(07:34):
waiver wasn't you couldn't claim until afterthe games were over, which is a
bit of gamemanship. Honestly, Idon't hate it. Yeah, but he
put up damn near twenty last weekand this week. Yeah yeah, And
I'm just wondering if they're just gonnajust shut Jacob's down. Yeah mm hmm.
(07:57):
Should you know? I mean thatthe coach that the Pierce dude that
got inserted as an interim, he'strying to win the job. So and
his you know, he's a defensiveminded guy, so you know, he's
all about tough runs and running theball and yeah, yeah, that's a
good pick. I was just shockedthat he was out there. Yeah.
(08:20):
Well, I mean I think atthat point, like the rosters were,
I don't know, I think everyone'skind of playing for the week because you
can't really plan for next week becauseI think so Gorgon. So here's the
other thing too. His status wasup in the air, like right,
(08:43):
yeah, so like there was conflictingreports saying he was going and he wasn't
going to go, And it's likenobody wanted to touch right, Like,
I'm not burning acclaim on, butat this point you literally have there's one,
there's nothing else there to pick up, so you say claim for no
other week nine waiver claims it don'tmatter anymore. Yeah, yeah, take
(09:11):
a shot and cares. I mean, I'm probably not touching my line.
I'm probably just gonna leave it asis and call today you're still running with
art and who? Yeah? Yeah, who do we discussing? Was we
were talking about something on Christmas wherefor Christmas Eve? When I was saying
(09:33):
who you gonna put in for atand you said somebody who your bench that
blew up or did anything or new? I I put Herbert in for somebody.
Oh you I had already put Herbertin, Yeah, something like that.
I don't know. For some reason, I thought you had another word
(09:54):
Brown. I think so, Ithink, yeah, I think you said
you was gonna put Yeah, hegot like eight points, like yeah,
I mean, if you look atthe matchup itself, it was not a
Noah Brown situation. Yeah, butthink Strad coming back this week? He
(10:15):
might oh yeah, absolutely coming back. M yeah, two weeks three,
three week concussion. That's not thething. So is that a Noel Brown
start from you? Or you stilldon't want to touch him? Uh?
All right, Let's see who arethey playing here? Let's see. I
(10:37):
think they're planning to text Titans.Yeah, a visual game. Let's see.
Yeah, all right, so thehell are they lose my mind here?
(11:07):
Hold on? Yeah? Okay,yeah yeah, I oh, I
mean he maybe the chopping block fodderfor Whitey Jacobs doesn't go M and I
(11:31):
don't want to have I just uh, I you had your shine man like
I don't. Yeah, he producedvery well. He was a middle of
a season darling. I gotta givehim these props. But yeah, if
(11:56):
you think that course has ran,it's ran. Yeah, I just,
uh, you got a bad feelingabout it. I don't have any feeling
about it. That's why I'm Ijust don't want to do it. I
don't feel good or bad. I'mjust like you're here, say about the
(12:18):
way everybody Merry Christmas to you.Yeah, happy holidays now now, saying
Merry Christmas is just happy holidays.People don't really typically say Happy New Year
until the day of New Year.Yeah. People don't say oh, happy
New Year, like or well,sometimes some people say you have a happy
(12:39):
New Year, but most of thetime it's happy Holidays after Christmas has passed.
Yeah, that's fair. H Yeah, But the closer you get to
it, the more specific you are. Well, real quick, just so
everyone knows, this is not gonnabe a long episode. Reason being not
(13:01):
that we're like some kind of guruslike we've met, like we've mentioned many,
many, many times before. ButI don't think you need help set
in your lineup this week. Youwouldn't be in a position you are playing
the game that you're playing if youneeded assistance or start decisions at this point.
So we're not really gonna do thatthis week. This is more just
a kind of a you know,just talk for twenty minutes and get the
(13:24):
hell out. I will say nextweek it's gonna be our like State of
the Union address for our league.You know, what went well, what
went bad, what we can improveon, what changes we think we can
make, you know, just assuggestions. We've heard things like that.
(13:46):
And we're also going to lay outthe lay of the land of the end
of the year awards, which aregonna happen the week afterwards, which we'll
put you know, we're not gonnagive you the names of the awards.
We'll do that because you know it'sour show. But we're gonna go ahead
(14:07):
and just put up the nominees,put them up on some social media.
I don't know which one, probablyall of them who cares, and hopefully
all can vote. Uh you know, if you don't want to, thanks
for nothing, Dix, but uh, you know, just start going to
be a fun little thing. Itwould be a little tradition we do,
(14:28):
you know, why not, butuh yeah, just kind of just kind
of just well, you know what, we can actually talk about this real
quick, because we talked about thisa little bit on Saturday, or not
(14:50):
Saturday, maybe Saturday. Yeah,it was Saturday about the whole you know,
breakdown of money up top. Uh, you know what you do?
You know, do you do thenormal double? Then well you do the
the double of what second place wouldget and then the buy in a third
(15:11):
or do you make a gentleman's agreement? And it's just very funny that once
again we had that conversation and thenBob all of a sudden chirped his ass
in like with his little go gogo talking like he could just fill us
talk about it, and was like, you know what, I got an
opinion too, right right, andyou know I was kind of against the
(15:35):
whole idea of no, man,we're gonna do you know, six six,
three and one. But it wasjust he made the point of like,
well, why don't we just dofour to four and whoever wins gets
the extra hundo? Yeah, It'slike, no, that's actually okay,
(15:56):
that that makes sense because it's like, at that point, why can't we
both eat? Yeah? Yeah,I mean it's almost like a reward for
both of y'all making it to thatpoint. So here's your reward and it
becomes just one hundred dollar bet onthe game. It's like, okay,
now we just betting nine dollars thatmy team's gonna beat your team. You
(16:17):
know, congratulations, you got yourmoney because I made it, you know,
graduates to you. And that Imean, and it's like y'all the
last two lens and you know y'allgot a hundred a little bet. And
third differently, I mean, I'venever done that way and Andrews League,
the uh, the payout is athousand years. You got to split between
(16:38):
champions and this year the guy thatI said she was gonna win it and
had the stronger team. Like normallythey would do something like that, like
you said, each person get thisand then the last is a is an
extra one hundred or two hundred orsomething. This guy wanted no parts.
He split it right down the middle. He said, I just want to
(17:00):
win for pride and bragging ranks andfor the sake of a championship. He
split right down in the middle offive hundred, five hundred. I'm like,
I don't know if I would doall that. I mean, I
would at least put something on thatlast game. But yeah, he wont
he want he just want the championship. He doesn't really the money, don't.
I mean the money is not youknow, the main thing. It's
(17:22):
about having a championship I under hisbelt. He is that Has he ever
won one? Or is that?Oh? Yeah, he's won two times.
I remember I think he won.He might have won three times.
No, I think he won backto back years. Okay, so that
this will be I think the thirdtime he's been there. Yep. It's
(17:47):
actually my old college roommate from Philadelphia. Ooh yeah, yep. So yeah,
he's in the championship along with Andrewwho's kid and his cousin or something
they called themselves to their teen namescous dogs or some shit, but somehow
(18:07):
they got there. Mm hmm.It's the game, it's their championship.
Yeah. But yeah, I don'tknow. It's interesting. I was able
to flip that switch on it.I'm like, no, that's just that
that is it makes it more relaxing, Like it's not like you're not competitive,
(18:30):
but you just go into that knowinglike regardless, I was still gonna
make at least one hundred dollars morethan what I would have if I should
the bet. Yeah. That's likeone of the things where any type of
double double or something, Oh,you gonna definitely be really upset if you
don't get it, and you're gonnabe really elated and happy if you do.
(18:52):
But if you can lay somewhere inthe middle, Yeah, because then
if you win, you get theextra hundred and you get the chip and
you get the gap. Yeah.If you lose, it's like I still
made more than what I would havedone if I didn't do this, So
I didn't agree with this. Yeah, So yeah, like you said,
it just it just puts a levela little less pressure on you, right,
(19:18):
because it's almost like it's exciting gettingup to the championship game. Then
you get to the championship game andit's just like, fuck, you just
oversee you throw all of your strategyout the window. You're like you were
just overthinking and thinking and overthinking,and it's there you beat yourself up over
(19:41):
Like you you're less likely to beatyourself up over one hundred dollars, right
or of a three hundred Remember wetold we said it's almost like it's one
hundred dollar bet between y'all two.Imagine if you're doing six hundred and three
hundred, it's a three hundred dollarbet. I'm pretty sure you're gonna be
a lot more sit in a threebite bite. Yeah, So it just
(20:07):
it felt better. And it's notfor a lack of confidence or anything.
But I mean, I will readilyadmit Bob is that Bob is a favorite
here. He should win just basedon Hey, you get hot at the
right time sometimes that's that's what itis. And just the way he's been
blowing people out, it's like,oh, all right, so I mean
(20:29):
it that. It definitely was nottoo too hard of a decision knowing what
I was getting into either, SoI can't like just throw that out the
throw that out the window and saythat didn't play a minor part in it.
On's like, well, I meanshit, if you're you're giving me
an out here, I will takethat, sir. But the logical rational
(20:51):
part of me is like, no, that's actually that makes it more fun.
Mm And and you that's the perkof knowing the people in your league
as well, well, because it'slike you can make these agreements. You
can you know it's a cow No, that's fine, Like we both got
here. Let's celebrate that. Yeah, let's make the same minor bet instead
of a hey, right, Iknow, it's just after Christmas and you
(21:15):
don't have to recoup money. Ohwait, yes you do. You know.
It's like, well, all right, what do you think about the
third place game? I mean,considering the sweat Timmy puts you through,
is he had a chance against Taylor'steam? Or do you think Taylor's team
fell completely off the map? Imean, what is the projection here?
(21:38):
Let's see because I looked at that, but I did not look at that.
Uh, I mean they're well,I mean Taylor got the Taylor got
the up on him. Yeah.Uh what is he projected up eighteen?
M Oh, that's even with areal bad play. Oh, that's even.
(22:02):
Oh yeah, Taylor's winning this absolutely. He got Chris Rodriguez wherever his
name is he has, He's projectedto get point eighty. So he's sitting
with Pittman on the bench. Pittmanwill play Yeah, fuck you, Timmy,
what he did to his last year? Yeah, legit, I feel
(22:26):
bad, but I don't feel badat all. Mm hmm. But Timmy
is sitting with Chase on this bench, and as Addison's out for the year,
so that's not gonna be a who'sout for the year. Addison at
least for the fantasy year. Oh, Addison got hurt too, Yeah,
(22:48):
he got He was out like middleof second quartering high ankle spring. Don't
believe what happened to Hawkinson. I'mlike, what, wait, did that
happen? Yeah, it didn't lookit did not look I didn't say nothing
about it during again, an't evenbecause it didn't look bad. Yeah,
I just noticed he went in therea couple of plays. I ain't know
(23:11):
he tore all that ship. Yeah, it was an a c O in
a m C O I think.Yeah, mm hmmm. It's a shame.
But you ain't got no major injuriesgoing and I have been very healthy
this year other than Eckler and Imean Palmer. But I I guess you
(23:41):
can hum on an Ir though.Yeah, like I basically picked him up
off. I picked him up onI R basically, So it's like I
can't really complain if you never hadhim. Mm hmm yeah, yeah,
that's that's a good hmm. Tonsof injuries, I mean tons of injuries
(24:06):
and bad Andrews yeah, oh yeahyeah, Mark Andrews. Yeah yeah.
You imagine my team with Andrews thoseship who hey, hey, that would
have made yesterday a lot easier todeal with it had been up by like
(24:26):
you know, one hundred and fortyor something thirty or some ship. Yeah,
but the main thing is main pointgot here. Yeah. Yeah.
And I I'm not saying I didn'tlike expected. I mean you always expect
to kind of get into it,but the way I got into it,
(24:49):
just like after Hurt's gone the squad, I just was like, boom,
let's rocket ship to the universe.Let's go. Yeah. So I'm looking
at these matchups here to see ifthere's anything you even to really speak on
that's interesting. But like I said, this is gonna be a real short
(25:11):
show because there's not much to talkabout. Like it's you know what happened,
we know what we're getting into.We don't need to talk talk about
start sets. It's just kind ofmore like, hey, here's what the
next few episodes are going to be. Type of thing we already discussed the
Waiter. Yeah, and you saidthat you're gonna pretty much set your line
(25:33):
for Waiter's nothing, no major changesyou're gonna make or you know what you
should do. Actually, here's whatwe can do. Let's read off the
let's read off the championship final lineup. Okay, go ahead. Yeah,
oh that's that's that's the third place. Fuck you losers. So I'm just
(25:55):
gonna go now, mind you,there is a move that has to be
made for waddle, but I'm justgonna go across the board, like left
or right. I'm on the lefthand. Quarterback, quarterback, quarterback,
quarterback. Okay, go ahead.So Jared Goff against Dak Prescott Huld.
Actually that game is actually against eachother. Yeah, they are. Literally,
(26:19):
that's crazy, that's silly. It'sgonna make your Saturday night because it's
a Monday night game, but theyput it on Saturday, So that's gonna
make your Saturday night. Your foolcool too. Oh yeah, there isn't
a Monday Night, is there.I don't know if there's normal, but
I just know that this Saturday Day. I've seen it on ESD ND to
day. It was like Monday Nightspecial on Saturday. I'm like, oh,
(26:42):
okay, yeah, they're probably notdoing it on Monday then, yeah,
because New Year's Eve because motherfuckers aregetting lit. Yeah that makes sense.
Okay, well it'sday right, Yeah, it's actually the New Year's Day.
Oh yeah, hm hmm. Yeah. I don't know. Look,
I'm still fucked up because Christmas ison a Monday. I can't. I
(27:03):
can't handle it. It's weird tome. So Jalen Hurts and Josh Allen,
Oh, so are we saying whichone you think is gonna outperform or
we just no, no, no, no, I'm just rereading off the
roster's kind of see you know.Yeah, that's because that's all about where
they're like, that's a random chancewhere they're at in the lineup right there.
(27:27):
So so basically you got four quarterbacksthat pretty much every everyone in America
is starting. So let you knowhow they got to the championship. Yeah,
championship with some random quarterback? Imean right, yeah, it's pretty
good. Damn quarterbacks? Yeah theyare? Are you and Wattle? And
(27:53):
you just said Wattle ain't playing?So yeah, so that'll get who's on
this bench that you think that hewould He'll put Quentin Johnson in, Okay,
okay that or he'll flex out someonehe can't. All his flexes are
running backs. Guy's gonna see hasHunter Henry in there? But well fuck
(28:17):
you, Bob uh A, J. Brown and Rassi Rice. Okay,
this is why we're not doing Thisis why we're not doing it with the
line items like versus type of thingJ s N against Marie Cooper. He
(28:40):
had a Maury Cooper. God damn. I can know that very well because
he he's splatter house the ship outof me two weeks in a row.
Sure did Uh DeMarcus Robinson and DeVanteAdams, Okay, Josh Palmer and and
(29:00):
that Washington kid from Jacksonville, Uh, Paris Washington or some ship like that
is a p Washington. Yeah,yeah, he's not on any my I
have given I know, no noFox Eckler against Gibbs hm. That'd be
(29:23):
interesting a few years back with Gibbscurrently e t N against Killer cam Camara
Camara Uh, Montgomery against Singletary MHM, Schultz against likely MHM uh Sherwin Williams
(29:45):
against Rondelle White. Yeah, twoof them. See y'all hearing these team
days. This is why these guysare in the championship. You hear any
some of these names, I meantwo massively productive backs for White and Williams.
I mean in the flex fucking silly. Uh. This is where it
(30:07):
starts to get a little interesting,is where this is where the deeper stuff
come. Once you get below thetight end, that's when it is getting
hairy. Yeah, pretty much.So Kate Aughton against a chain, Now
that might be a Herbert flip forme. We'll see, depends if depends
(30:30):
how that what the backfield looks likeat that point. So that's pending.
But yeah, and Noah Brown againstZeke. I know we talked about not
having Noah in there, but itis all dependent on what well on that
way, I'm doing the waiver flameI forgot. Yeah, I think I
(30:52):
think Remandre Stevens is coming back thisweek, so Zeke might not be a
go. Yeah, yeah, thereyou go. Well, I mean,
hey, like I said before,fuck you Bob. I mean the the
bench is is bad. I'll justread that off. Khalil Herbert against Quinton
Johnson, uh, Gino Smith,uh, Justice Hill, Eli Mitchell Hunter,
(31:18):
Henry Duke Johnson. Uh oh god, what the hell is his name?
Taysom Hill. There we go,Okay, Zach Moss, Baker Baker
Mayfield and I have nobody and hehas Cream Hunt. But I'll have uh
to hear White on there. Soyeah, you said earlier that you might
(31:40):
have to drop somebody against I'm like, you probably got to open slot.
Well, well, no, Iput Moss. When they put him out,
I put them on. I Rreal quick so I can describe a
random ass person just to you know, play defense or whatever. And I
just I dropped Tilman today to makeroom for my waiver, so because they
pretty much made him not questionable,like immediately after the game. And I
(32:05):
know there's a lot of handcuffs there, and I thought about just dropping everybody
and just rolling with what I had. But I'm like, we'll see.
Because it's week seventeen, you neverknow, like there may be a weird
practice injury or like, oh well, we're gonna sit him this week so
he's ready for the playoffs. It'slike yeah, oh yeah cool. And
then here lately, over the pasttwo or three years in Fantasy, there's
(32:27):
been this the mysterious illness and sometimesit's not even injury related. It's like
they got the flu or they gotsomething or I guess that's like pre I
mean post COVID, Like because itused to be mother others would be out
for COVID. You'd be like,oh my god, I was depending on
him. Yeah, they're out becauseof COVID you'd be like, oh shit,
(32:49):
but now it's like illness. SoI'm assuming that's like a flu.
Well you think about it. Weather'sgoing up and down, warm cold,
warm cold warm gold. So likethat was well, I mean you Christmas
was warm yesterday, it was evenwarmer today. I'm like, god damn.
Yeah, yeah, it's pretty wild. But yeah, that's the championship
matchup. I mean, obviously it'sjust Tuesday, so who knows what moves
(33:14):
will be made, but I wouldimagine not too too much. You kind
of go with Pagati here. Youmake a few little alterations and like,
like the Herbert move that it wasa good call. Obviously. When he's
talked about the Thursday night game,he was like disgusting. I bet you
(33:37):
you'll be watching that motherfucker because MamuriCooper will be in it. No,
I'm not gonna watch that ship.Why would I want to watch that?
No, I don't. You don'twant to see him, don't you?
You just want to just go flipforward and just see how many points you
got scored against you? No,I'm not. I don't know if I
want to do that. I mightjust delete the app till until Saturday,
(34:01):
because that's it's it's it's one ofthose things where one the game is gonna
be fucking atrocious too, knowing Ihave zero skin in it and he does,
there is no desire to want towatch that. Why would I want
to watch games if my opponent isthere? No, you will not force
me to watch the Jets. Idon't give a ship. You was sure
(34:22):
was paying attention to what your opponentwas doing last night, That surely was.
I mean you have to, butyeah, I mean if you ain't
gonna watch the game, you ain't. I mean, yeah, I just
there, like, who's the Sundaykid? I will desire to have Breeche
Hall. That's about it. Yeah, is there a Sunday day game actually
(34:47):
Sunday night? I don't know.I don't even know the schedule. I
haven't really even dove into the newmatchups. I just know about the Thursday
one. I don't I will.I will tell you this that I at
least seemingly neither one of us haveany skin in any Thursday night game.
(35:10):
So we're basically gonna know what's goodat about seven o'clock Sunday night. You
said neither one of y'all got anyskin and what any and any Thursday night
or I'm sorry, any Sunday nightgame, like like the Thursday game he
(35:32):
got Cooper going in that one.Yeah, I may have said Thursday as
my bad, but yeah, I'mnot seeing. I don't. I can
look, but I don't care.So there's no Sunday night game. I
mean, now I'm curious. God, damn it, fuck you. That's
what I was looking at it tobegin with. Now, I mean I
was, and I just didn't careanymore because I'm like, all right,
(35:58):
I mean, and there's no Mondayright because they put that on Saturday.
So m hmm. Yeah, let'ssee here. Oh, I know why
there's no Monday night game. Thatdamn the college fucking football championship games is
(36:21):
we're not the champions wayoff games bothon January first, and they want to
take put all the attention on thecollege sport. I mean not get it
makes sense, I guess. Yeah, let's see yep, because all those
games, those games are I thinkfive o'clock and then eight o'clock. They're
(36:44):
both on on New Year's Day.It's funny what money will do for you?
Yeah, yeah, you got nomoney you fantasy championship game. I
guarantee you even some of the mostdiehard college fans will be watching the NFL
(37:05):
game over top of college football playoffs. Oh absolutely, Okay, all right,
so there is one. So it'sPackers and Vikings. When you all
got new Packers or Vikings mm hmm. You used to have Addison, to
have Madison too, you got ridof them, yep, And they both
(37:29):
did funck all to me this week. You know what they scored, you
know what they scored last week againstme collectively collectively together? Yeah, yeah,
take a care. I think Madisonhad maybe like a point and Addison
you said he got hurt, probablylike four points together. Okay, you're
(37:54):
saying four points one point one together? Yeah, Madison that negative negative point
damn Yeah. Yeah. Well,I mean, once again, you don't
(38:17):
start someone that's literally questionable all week, that's following up against someone that got
a hondo last last week on theground, What the fuck are you doing
it? It's not that's I mean, there's there's people that's passionate and then
there's this lazy players like everything waseverything that it's about to he says,
(38:42):
lazy. So he was he wasn't. He was too lazy to go out
and find a replacement for Madison,so he just left them in there because
I mean, you knew not tostart that dude, but he didn't feel
like doing any diligence and going tothe wire and picking nobody. Uh.
A lazy player, man, That'swhy. If he didn't deserve it last
(39:06):
year, but he got it.More props to him. I'm never I'm
not gonna try to take your championshipaway from you to me, but I
will fuck you. You went,you went to stand for ship. I'm
I'm looking at a mother if amother of the catch two passes in a
row. I'm like, who isthat? Oh? You know what's funny?
(39:31):
You know who's you know? Gotuh cat today? Cut? Yeah,
h Snead. I was like,I saw you. The first thing
I thought. I was like,damn is that the fucking snead that was
(39:52):
catching passes from Drew Brees is fuckingninety years old and he was still well
running routes. Hey another person thatgot caught today that that look did good
work for me for about two orthree weeks. Darryl Henderson cut yeah bye
(40:12):
Rams cut him completely. Yeah,back to the couch. But you know
what, he produced for about twothree weeks for me, good good,
good stuff. And then they thenKaren came back, and then I was
like, hey, you're on thewaiver wire because stupid here you go come
home to daddy news for him.But it's gonna be interesting. I am
(40:42):
gonna watch y'all match up. Yeah, zero pressure and enjoy it because I
don't know how Bob tilts, butI know how you too, so I'm
almost gonna be vicariously going through you. Yeah, I know how you feel.
So uh, me and Bob tiltthe same. Okay, I'm I'm
(41:07):
I'm more verbal. Uh there's Bobwanting people to throw some ship at the
wall or some ship. That's wheredifferent. That's me. Oh you don't,
of course you don't, but I'mtalking about no, no I do.
(41:27):
Oh yeah, y'all everyone who's listening, all four of you sign up.
After what happened. It was aplay one of these somebody was playing
against Rich and they scored or theydid something. He was like, man,
feel my pulse up. No,no, no, it was it
(41:52):
was the fucking It wasn't even ascore. It was your hittle or something
doing something and you was like,oh, like like I went up grabbed,
I gripped up your hand like Iwas like a mom and a supermarket.
I was like, can you feelhis heart was skipping beats like hell,
(42:14):
like like ten kids on the Hopscotchmotherfucking playground. They was skipping away.
The fucker that had nothing to dowith football. I have a murmur,
but yeah, that's but that's that'sthe that's the part that makes you
feel alive and like like literally theroller coaster of emotions you saw me go
(42:34):
through. Like as you left,I'm just like, h and I'm like
trying to be chipper and trying toI'm like, well, I still got
a player. It's gotta do nothing. It's fine. And I was like,
he isn't doing anything. I'm tellingyou, I'm a hot passage myself.
(43:04):
I don't throw ship at anything.But yeah, like I told you
that one championship. Man, itwas like I fell down to my knees
like oh like and then when it'sgoing really really bad, I'm just like
I'm pacing walking back and forth andthen you know, me, I creeping.
I let the why me creeping inand I'm like, this gotta happen
(43:27):
a fucking man, and I'm fuckingscreaming it. I'm just like, man,
it's a roller coaster. It iscrazy. It is. And as
long as you can be on theroller coaster and you're not just always on
like the like you didn't have aredemption fucking story, then you're like,
(43:49):
I fucking knew it all the way. I was on the Turtle pretty much
this whole year with like a littledip like now you know what it was.
You were on the Turtle the wholeyear. But you start off as
a little kid and it was great, and it was the fuck is this
ship? You're like, I'm gonnago ride the whip like the big kids.
(44:20):
You was on the Turtle, butyou started out young. That was
a great analogy here. You werehappy as fun. The same thing with
that Kangaroo ship, that little babydip hover. You be like, oh
ship that was. You get older, you'd be like what the fuck?
You're like, you know you dothat and you're like my fucking back hurts,
(44:45):
like slow down, yeah, Imean to take you have to take.
You have to take drama, meanto get on the Kangaroo and ship.
Now, yeah, as long asthough it's the roller coaster, but
we enjoy it. That's why wecome back everything every year. As long
(45:07):
as I'm healthy enough, and damnit, I gotta be truly sick to
somehow skip out on it. I'mgonna I'm gonna keep coming back. I
mean, I mean, in allactuality, it is relatively low effort.
Let's be honest, like it is. But at the same time, it's
(45:29):
low effort. It's hard. Youfeel connected to the NFL and to the
players, and you feel like youroffensive fucking coordinator, your defensive you turn
into a part of the teams.You had the conversation last night. We're
just sitting there thinking like you.You you're in that last game of the
week and you're either up or down. You're sitting here, game plan of
(45:51):
the next You're just like, allright, listen, you gotta let them
score here, right, you gotnine minutes left. Now, hear me
out, hear me out now right, you got two good running backs.
It's like you gotta do. They'resitting there, like you said, it's
(46:13):
nine minutes. And then you know, we were sitting trying to figure out
what bought him and We was like, Okay, now they're gonna try to
run it a little bit to eatup claw, but at the same time
they want to possess the ball,right, Lamar is a part of the
running attack. What do you dohere? Yep? We turned into full
blown. We turned into analysts,experts, scouts, coordinators and coaches.
(46:40):
Be sure fucking work scouts, yourgod, damn right. We were brom
telling you, man, Justice Hillgot the juice, give him the rock.
But it is it is, Iwould say, introducing myself for being
(47:00):
introduced to whatever you want to say, it is a godsend, because God,
it makes these eight weeks not well, nine weeks, not eight weeks.
Wait what hold on, it's noteight weeks. You're fucking stupid.
What are you talking about? Youmean fourteen fifteen? What week are we
(47:21):
on? Seventeen fucking a million?Yeah, seventeen weeks. I meant to
I was thinking like months, butI still wasn't right because I'm like eight
months, stupid, four months.It just it has, Like you said,
I've been a god. It's beena godsend from a fan standpoint in
a city where everything was geared onjust the home team, and it was
(47:45):
hard to get past those games,man, especially if they just continuously lose
and you gotta wait, now,I don't even watch it, bitches,
Like what did motherfuckers do before RedZone? Like you were sitting here,
like because you weren't streaming constreams itwas around here. It was even more
(48:06):
terrible because because we play in thedivision with Cleveland Cincinnati, who's only been
good for maybe the past three tofive years, we used to have to
watch those games because for some reason, after the Steller game, they would
put on the game that was inyour division, and these motherfuckers were terrible,
and it was just like you hadno investment at all, Like after
(48:30):
the Stealer game, it was eithergo to the bar and celebrate if they
won and not give a fuck aboutany of the games until maybe later on
or something like that, Like youfound something else to do. Now.
It's like, motherfuckers, from theminute you hear seven hours of commercial free
football, it's fucking all fucking daynot moving, not moving but moving scarcely
(48:59):
and watching all of that ship withoutfantasy. And I would never have done
that, Like I just, yeah, here's my thing, Like could you
watch Red Zone every week? Ifit wasn't for fantasy. Really could I
don't think, you know, Imean as good as red zone it,
(49:21):
I don't think I could. Iwill fall asleep on that shot, you
know the reasons Like that's the thing, Like, yes, I love football,
I love watching football, but I'malso like, if I have nothing
going, I don't like I'm notwatching Week eighteen. I have I will
actually spend time with my No,I won't, I'll find something else,
but I will her let her downstairsand hold the remote. Yeah. So
(49:54):
yeah, definitely has a part.I mean red zone it's like alone as
an enhancement to fantasy. It waslike, it's like, whoever created red
zone news? This is all wewant to see. I mean, we
(50:15):
don't want to see a five yardoutpack to fucking Chris Godwin. We want
to see the motherfuckers postal zone andwhat happens. I would be curious to
look up the stats over the lastwhat's the salt? This is called twenty
years, like the the influx offantasy, Like the percentage of the of
(50:37):
the fan base that plays fantasy,and then the fan and then the percentage
of the people that watched red zonelike on a regular basis is symmetric and
and correlated at least because there's noway of campy like there's there are junkies
(50:59):
out there, there's people like sportsbet and I get it. Yeah yeah,
betting, Okay, betting especially whatthe what do uh what is it
called the parlay bets and all ofthat. Yeah, but I'm saying before
that was the thing like whenever itwas like you talk to your bookie,
that was the usher a church.You're like, yo, so so tent
on the fucking skins. Yeah,you talked to church. Is a bookie.
(51:22):
So I can say that because mygrandpa literally his bookie was an usher
at church. No bullshit, Like, so that's a real life example.
We would go to Saturday service andthen on our way out we would take
the little trip over to the littlelittle dude you sit in the car,
and he'd go fucking make his betsand uh fucking he would have his little
(51:46):
clipboard but with his spreads and fuckinga red marker and a black marker,
and he's like and he would goto the chart the next week and fucking
collect dang. Mm see, Iwould be scared to do so. She
looked bet at church because my eyes, I wouldn't be I mean it's already
(52:07):
you know, risky businesses throwing itfrom the home from business crazy right,
because the priest definitely wasn't skimming offthe top or nothing. Right. He
probably was, but I'm talking aboutjust me between the raceship, between me
and my maker. That wouldn't thatwouldn't rubbed me well, I mean fair,
(52:28):
but that dude was bold as shiphe put running in the gamut at
church. Absolutely, he wasn't theother one like you think of all the
occers were basically bookies. Dude,totally hell. I mean I don't think
(52:52):
he was pushing anything like big moneywise, but like yeah, I mean
like like yo, you're the youryour you know, go down, go
give me the fishy look at it. We still still in a short episode,
(53:14):
and I mean technically it's still short. Yeah yeah, yeah. So
tomorrow, uh, the X's andO's kind of the let's call that our
little uh what I call the otherwhat I call next week's episode the uh
(53:36):
not the town Hall but out stayof the union. So we're gonna do
our kind of year in review ofour lives and the podcast lives tomorrow.
So be fun episode figured, youknow, kind of just really could have
put a stamp in the year andsay, Okay, this is what we've
accomplished, this is what we've beenthrough, what we've done. Yeah,
well, why would you do ayear in review on that? Will continue
(54:01):
that show? I mean, becauseit's the end of the physical calendar year,
so we're just kind of recaptain,you know, the year in it.
You know, because from twenty twentythree beginning, you know, I
was, you know, living ina different circumstance, and then right about
(54:22):
April everything thing and Easter Sunday wasborn, and so one's yeah, is
that Oh yeah, I'm all right, wait let me, I can't do
my super dark humor believe that beYeah, yeah you can with that one.
(54:45):
I did not think of that.That is that is dark, and
that's to make my heart smile,and that shouldn't. I'm a bad person.
It's fine, but I figured thatwould be a cool little thing.
You can really just kind of talkcandidly like you've gone through it through you
(55:06):
know, we've touched on it ina few episodes. We've never really dedicated
an episode to really like compartmentalizing andjust really reflecting and saying ship. All
right, man, this is aboutthat time where everyone does that anyway,
but we actually did ship this year, so we have something to really like.
Huh Okay, this is we.We we started a business sort of
(55:34):
and I don't know, I feellike we became better friends, we become
big. I think we became betterpeople. We've learned a boatload about each
other. And it's my pill.Yeah that's and like you said, it's
(55:54):
therapeutic or cathartic. Yes, yes, that was the word. That's my
buzzword for the year. God damnity. I mean sometimes, I mean,
just outline the story. Sometimes youdon't have time to pause and have that
discussion with yourself, that shower discussionwith yourself about each and every topic.
(56:15):
But once you've slow yourself down andthen talk about it, there's some things
I talked about. When we showedthat, it was almost like I ain't
gonna say eye opened it to myself, but it was like almost like me
making myself aware of what what pictureI'm painting. And I didn't really see
it until we sat down and gotthe buck. Yeah. I mean,
(56:37):
it's a crazy, weird thing whereyou you get to be your own mirror,
like you are talking to the universebasically, but you actually are saying
it out loud, like you hadthese conversations in the shower all the time.
Yeah, now you're actually verbalizing itto somebody and then whoever else is
(57:00):
and then it's like, oh shit, like interesting, okay, Yeah,
like right there, I was gonnamake a really really really terrible Jesus joke
and I didn't because I'm a fuckingadult. Yeah. So yeah, that's
(57:22):
that's gonna be a good show.You know, the stated a union Like
you said, Yeah, I don'thave any other better way to put it.
It really just feels like that.Yeah. And also I think it's
really good that we did the Wekind of switched up the whole profile on
how we're doing this. And we'redoing the football once a week and and
(57:45):
you know, the exes once aweek. And I don't know if post
football, if we're going to keepit on Wednesday or if you want to.
I figured that way we can keepour weekends open again. I don't
know. I mean, I knowthe weekends is your free day, but
it just seems like there's too manyoutside factors that can that a way so
(58:09):
yeah, I probably will want tojust keep it on Wednesday because who's doing
anything on Wednesday? Honestly? Imean yeah, like what the fuck what
is there to do Wednesday? Andthen once the football season is over,
it's going to be super no,super shitty fucking Wednesday. So yeah,
that's almost so Yeah, it's justlike I said, the weekends, this
(58:34):
is just too many variables or factorsthat can make it somehow cancel the show.
And what what I mean besides beingyou know, stuck at the office
or being sick or just can't evenfunction, what excuse you really got for
Wednesday? Yeah, not for manyNo, and you know what, there
may even be you know, weekswhere we are just like yo, you
(58:58):
bored, Yeah, just pop ontalk for a little bit. Okay,
who knows, Like some ship mayhappen. It's like, hey, I
want to kind of speak on this, and it's like, okay, cool,
let's do it. So bonus,Yet we keep the weaker Yeah,
I mean that and that and Ifeel like that way. It's it's more
(59:19):
like if something really like prevalent happensthat we want to speak on, we
can just shoot like it's obviously it'san impromptu things so it'll be fresh.
So I don't know, we'll seebigger after football season. Even Sundays open
up because there ain't ship to doall Sunday, you like, there really
(59:45):
isn't. There's never any hockey gameson Sunday. I mean rarely, but
it's Yeah, I gotta find away to like get away from my family
then because I am not trying tobe bothered by them. Yeah, I
mean, that was the day thatmost of the time that you know,
(01:00:07):
you know, we would go outto eat dinner. We like, we
deserve everything. Someday when football seasonain't going on, Yeah, that is
a family day, you like itor not. I gotta I gotta fix
that. I gotta I gotta likeget a mistress or something, just keep
(01:00:30):
myself entertained. I can't be aroundthese people for twelve hours. Jesus Christ.
Damn. That is depressing ship.There is nothing, oh Secruary whatever
after that. Oh it's like themcommercials that you see where they be they
(01:00:51):

another day. Like they be huggingall of a sudden on the ball by
fold and the regular day thing,like I'm gonna wake up and be like,
