Somehow, we've nearly made it to the end of the Thursday Night
Football programming schedule. This is potentially the the
penultimate ship cast. We'll see what we cook up during
the playoffs, but we got this game tonight, Saints and Rams,
and that next week we got the El Nino Bowl, Browns, Jets.
But tonight going to be a great show.
We got Cooter Doodle swinging by in the second quarter, going to
talk with her. We got Steph as usual in the
third quarter recapping our high stakes teams and we got our pick
em Sweats for tonight. Should be a fun one.
Let's do it here on the ship cap.
Pat Fryer Helmos. This is why This is why I'm hot.
Anita Handjob. Fix your sight.
Jamar. And also play chase.
You. Can't handle the heat.
It looks like we're finally at this point.
You're right. That was the the intro there
made me laugh at Draco's stat chasing cold open with you guys
on Tuesday where he played the the intro right out of the gate.
He's like, I don't he's like I don't want to do a gold open, so
I'm just going to do it, but I don't know how to do it.
I'm like, I think he just time it up like this and it it was
great. And then it was 2 weeks ago when
you and I filled in for Draco and with Sacrilegious, and then
I accidentally cut Sacrilegious off with his opening.
So yeah, we're we're we're struggling around here.
But good evening, everyone. We got Pat Crane, Ben Gretch.
How we doing guys? Doing good, Doing good.
I'm nervous. I'm nervous, man.
We got some good sweats and high stakes stuff.
Some really fun stuff. I'm I'm a new best ball bro and
I got three teams on my account in the semis.
I got one with you from Best ball After Dark.
I have one with Sean got these five teams.
I don't know what to do with myself.
I I mean I feel like I don't know how 5 Advanced.
I didn't do that many drafts. It's well, you got five through.
Yeah, that's. Awesome.
I mean, that's amazing. Like absolutely fucking sun
running our BBM advance rates. For to the semis, Olafa just got
down 1 yard short of the first down.
Did he catch a first down right before that?
I already did that I think. OK, so already got one.
Yeah, let me pull that up here. As always, we'll set up some of
the sweats. I also want to apologize, I know
Underdog was having issues with some of their stuff.
I wasn't even able to place this on desktop.
I couldn't do it on Android. Pat was able to get it on iOS
app. So I apologize if anyone wasn't
able to get these tonight. I know Underdog was having
issues, but we do have a crystal lave higher than three first
downs, Matthew Stafford higher than 21 1/2 completions, and
Puka Nakua higher than 60.5 receiving yards.
And if we hit this tonight, we will unlock a $300.00 giveaway
to one of you guys watching tonight, but pretty good start
here for Olave. Yeah, got one already.
He was really close to the second.
He was like legit 1/2 yard short.
A lot of times I just marked those.
I thought they might mark it far enough just to, like, almost
speed up the game. But we got to taste him.
He'll run. Oh, there's another one.
I mean, he's cruising. Pat, you what was the stat you
had 'cause you looked at this one and you were like, he's
cleared this in most games? I he's he's hit.
So it's three. It's three.
The line was 3 on the dot and he'd hit three in like 7 of
eight games and he'd hit four in half of in half of his last
eight games. And we also liked the Saints to
have to throw a little bit more this week.
So I don't know, it just seemed like the real, I was like this
because it was really juiced on the ramp side.
I wanted to do first down stuff on the ramp side and I didn't
really like the numbers, but Olavi's just kind of jumped out
mine. I jumped out to me when I was
going through it too. I was glad you brought it up
because for me it was just looking at his five receptions.
I think his his number was 8 targets.
He's a volume receiver, obviously.
And for a guy with a high A dot who runs a lot of these deep in
breaking routes, he gets a lot of like 10 to 15 yard passes.
Like like he's already gotten in this game.
To have a 5 reception line and a three first down line just
seemed wrong. Like he's got to be.
He's got to be higher than 60% of his catches.
I don't know, maybe he's not. I didn't actually look that up,
but it just seemed like this is the better way to play it for
sure. And then you had actual data
that confirmed that. So that was our that was our
favorite one. We were on that.
It was our favorite. Yeah.
Yeah, we were struggling, I don't know, struggling like we
like this core. I mean the whole new wrinkle, a
lot of you guys have probably seen it.
Underdog has kind of overhauled I would say how the pick EM
payouts work with the multipliers.
They basically tightened up what I guess I would call some
loopholes with the correlations there and you now are getting
not as good of a multiplier if you do the the correlation.
So even this Puka Nakua Matthew Stafford here, 21 1/2
completion, 60.5 yards that took us down.
I think this one was a .83 multiplier and we mentioned it
on the Badge Bros Show last week talking about it in the Badge
Bros channel. So just APSA to people, because
I know some people are like, wait, why isn't this paying out?
You know, the usual multiplier. They have changed those things,
but everyone should see the same stuff.
But it is an actual change to how they're, you know, kind of
scoring those pickums. What a bad sack to take here on
3rd and seven. Are they going to kick like a 56
yarder now? They had a good first drive and
Carr takes a a sack here on 3rd and seven that I saw him running
off the field and now they're on 4th and super long.
It's going to be a long, oh, they're going to punt.
They're going to punt. Oh my God, they're punting from
the plus 38. This is gross.
Hasn't this been the story of the Saints season?
Like Derek Carr marches them down the field and then they
just absolutely suck in the red zone or anywhere where they're
close to scoring. Tyler goes Blake Groupie over
1.5 field goals. Let's go.
Who's the punter? Do you?
When? When is underdog gonna offer
over punting lines? Should we pull up our our five
leggers here? Yeah, for sure.
So these ones we kind of Yolo did in on here, they're
basically the same, but we just swapped out the the high variant
scorcher here. So it has the core, but it also
includes Cooper Cup 70.5 receiving yards.
So just basically playing that Matthew Stafford double stack,
this one has a Tyler Higbee Scorcher for a touchdown, 2.5 X
multiplier and then I think I need to pull up the other one
here. It has a DeMarcus Robinson, here
we go. So same thing is the other one,
but DeMarcus Robinson, TD Scorcher at 2.25 X.
Kind of fun little story we tell there, right?
These guys move the field, the ball down the field and then one
of DeMarcus or Tyler Higbee gets the TD.
Yeah, although for some reason Puka's line was like cratering
as this was was happening. So we have the Higbee one at 64
1/2 and by the time because I put in this, I put in the five
legs first by the time we put in the course down 4 yards.
So the core, it's kind of nice that it worked out that way
because the core is a little easier to hit than some of these
five legs. That is the other thing we deal
with is like I I think I was mentioning it to you guys, I was
like trying to put these in them like this puka number is ping
ponging around. It was like up at 65 and then
down to 60. So yeah, I have no no idea
what's going on over there. Someone got cold feet about Puka
is what I think happened. I don't know who who at Underdog
was freaking out, but I still can't believe we just witnessed
the punt from the 37, the 37. It wasn't even like the 45,
which is bad enough. You're an opponent territory.
That was a 55 yard field goal, 5455 yarder.
It wasn't like they needed to kick a 60 yarder or it was only
4th and 13. It wasn't like 4th and 19 like
you. You just go forward on 4th and
13. If you don't think your kicker
has the leg and you turn it over on at the 37, like that's not
that crazy of good field position, right?
Like you can get 13 yards. I think you kicked the field
goal. Yeah, I would try a field goal
from 5455. Why?
Like, come on, it's not that long in on turf, you know,
controlled weather, like put it did.
Any of you guys, I I'm not going to lie, I let my hopes get up
that Kendra Miller might have been active for this game.
He was questionable. They didn't suit him up at the
last minute. Do either of you guys have any
live Kendra teams? I don't know.
I think I do. I haven't been.
My underdog exposures are weird. It's only showing ten of my
teams total for like all the tournaments that I did.
You got? To use them.
Check out Easy's tool. He created a free little
spreadsheet thing where you just go to the basically the draft
board thing. He I posted it on my Twitter and
you just copy and paste it into his spreadsheet and it will auto
populate the exposures for your teams.
It's pretty slick. OK.
And then, so not only you could go, you could pay someone else's
team in there too, but you can basically see it for for all of
yours. I had sent over Gretchen I's
team in our group chat there we got, we got some fun ones.
So Gretchen I and our BBM, we have the only share of Kyle
Pitts, the only share of Gabe Davis in the only share of DK
Metcalf. Wow, that's nice.
On boom bust plays to have. The those.
Are. I will take it.
DK Metcalf I think is well, well set up this week, so yeah.
That'd be really. Nice.
I'd feel better about Gabe Davis if he had caught a pass in the
last two weeks. Yeah, that would be nice, yeah.
If they hadn't completely phased him out of the offense, it'd
probably be good. Just one pass.
Oh man. Yeah, it is crazy, the the
exposure. So I have CMC on three of my
five teams, including the one with Gretsch 63%, 50% and 56% of
ownership across those 3. Of who?
CMC just mega owned, So is James Cook.
Yeah I got I I think two of my teams are CMC teams of my three
that got through I think and so my one with you is and my one
with Sean is sorry. So at least three cause one of
the ones in my account is and I was clicking through some teams
but I haven't done the tool yet and I was just seeing a lot of
CMC and I was like all right well it makes sense that he's
not going to be the differentiating piece of the
stage. Gretch, do you know what, like
one of our biggest sweats is for this team?
So like we have Desmond Ritter, who's not playing, and we have
Sam Howell against The Jets. We have Jordan Love and he.
We only have him stacked up with Romeo Dobbs.
Like we need the Jordan Love Romeo Dobbs.
We. Gotta throw, throw the throw the
Dobbs up. Wow.
Dobbs. Get to.
That'd be pretty sick. I.
Mean Reed's. Reed's hurt.
Yeah. Reed's hurt.
Watson, right? Is probably not gonna.
Yeah, Watson might not play. I mean Romeo Dobbs alpha game,
Who says no? Well, me, but I'm happy for you
guys. Dontavian Wicks has has
something to say about this. He's.
He's questionable, too. Wow.
Those guys are, Yeah, he's been, he's been playing through an
ankle injury, I think. Pat, what is the the status on
the walkthrough? Are we as wildly behind as we
were last? Week.
No, we're not wildly behind because puka puka puka.
We're not wildly behind because I broke off the Christmas games
and I haven't written them yet. And I'm.
Doing Yes. Where do you get your ideas?
I can't wait for your custom support emails.
Where are the Christmas? Games.
Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
No, I think, I think it'll be good.
I'm going to get that. I haven't started recording it
yet, but I'll, I'll, I'll breeze through it after the game.
I've got everything written for the the Sunday I thought about
breaking and here's the thing, do you put the the Sunday night
game in the in the Christmas walkthrough or do you just put
it in the normal walkthrough? Depends how behind you are.
I got down and I was like, I can write up this Patriots Broncos
game in about 10 minutes, so I'm just going to go ahead and do
that. So it'll be quite the normal
walkthrough. I'm just going to speak for
myself. Like when I consume it, I just
consume like the main slate stuff because I'm like trying to
prepare for my DFS for my battle royales.
Like, those are the ones I end up reading.
Sometimes I remember to circle back and check some of the
island game stuff, but honestly, most of the time it's it's for
the main slate. Yeah, I've actually thought
about some other ideas for next year where where it's not part
of the walkthrough, but we'll see.
All right, let's get this Stafford.
Plenty of time. Well, DeMarcus Robinson or is
that, yeah. Yeah.
Save those guys for the red zone.
What are they doing? I don't know, man.
This is not what we signed up for.
No, the the thing about the Scorchers, you're showing those
a minute ago. We did.
You mention the Ravens game when you're talking through that.
But that I was that I looked a couple weeks ago in the Ravens
game. Literally two weeks ago, the
Rams had a game where Puka and Cup both went over like 80
receiving yards, Cup 1 / 110 and DeMarcus.
And it wasn't Higbee. Higbee was out, but it was
what's his face? Davis, Allen or whatever that
guy's name is, both scored touchdowns.
So both of those, you know the four legs on the five leggers
that we have would have hit in the same game two weeks ago as
long as you just sub out the tight end for the backup tight
end and yet we got, you know we got it as scorchers this week.
I mean like at the at the payouts that we got, you usually
don't have something that just occurred 2 weeks ago, right?
Like the like all four legs just happened and I feel like it's
you can point to that game and say this is what we're looking
for this box score right here. Yeah, I mean, I I feel good
about. I mean, Pat, weren't you
mentioning that the Saints don't really get after the passer and
Stafford should have a lot? Of very weak pass rush.
Yeah, they have a good pass defense overall, but their pass
rush specifically is not good. And I think that's like the Rams
have a good offense overall, but they can't protect stabber very
well. So I'm like, all right, yeah, I
think the Rams will be fine here.
Yep. In the total, I feel like the
total of this game kind of reflected that.
I think if you would have asked me like what do you think the
total is for this game, I would have been like, I don't know,
4243. And then when I saw it at 45
1/2, I was like, maybe there is a little bit of hope here for
some scoring. Everyone wants to know what you
guys are eating and drinking. It looks like Gretch has like a
fucking pina colada over there or something.
I'm eating a hot dog bringing like, fried some onions and
stuff. Oh hell yeah, that's a Seattle
dog. You got the grilled onions?
Yeah. Famously, famously, they don't
cook, but the Seattle dog you got to do it with, with cream
cheese and grilled onions and often jalapenos.
I mean a burrito. My wife bought me at the store
and I got a grocery store burrito like a deli burrito
because I was like, I need something to snack on before
this thing starts. And then I started making myself
a Margarita, poured a bunch of tequila into this, ran out of
our little, our Margarita mix only had a little bit left,
poured orange juice and the rest.
So I got like half Margarita mix, half orange juice, I don't
know tequila sunrise going on here.
Play that. I got this Baha lager.
Nice little easy drinking do. We just all have like a
convenience store slash mini bar on our desk.
Everything they're eating can be purchased at at A at a gas
station, right? For me, it's my kids are home
for for winter break and 5:15 sneaks up on you.
Pat's learning it now that he's out here in California.
It's it's 515 out here, man. It's 530.
Like I was just hanging with them like a couple hours ago and
then you got to set your lineups and then it's like, bam, show's
starting. Let's let's go, yeah.
Oh, threw it away. Add a.
Flag, yeah. Like Holden.
Wow, we got it. It was uncatchable.
But was it? Did he hold before?
Oh, they're they're just going for it.
I'm not going to run it. But this is where we could get
Higbee inside the final play action, I feel like.
McVeigh always likes doing some funky stuff down here.
He'll he'll give Kyra in a shot for sure, but then maybe we get
something funky. I mean, that's probably
uncatchable, but you like you can't dive and tackle him like
that and not get called. You're definitely going to get
called. There's Karen playing it, but he
only got to the to the 4/3. Gretch, what were you saying
about it? Wait, wait, Is Tutu Atwell
active? I thought he was supposed to be.
Because you were saying something about but him,
DeMarcus Robinson still being in for blocking purposes, Yeah.
Before he got hurt, he started losing snaps of DeMarcus
Robinson, reportedly because they liked Robinson's size and
blocking in the run game. When we were talking about the
Scorcher, I said, I mean, even if Atwell's in, I would assume
that would manifest itself in the red zone for sure.
Like, that's like the Jake Bobo thing, right?
Like you get the bigger body either in the red zone he can
block and and he's he's been in there.
Now they're going to use that well.
If they have him active like between the 20s on some deep,
you know, running routes, they're not going to use them as
this big physical presence in the in the red zone, obviously.
I had special effects for this show.
Right now, I would be like Scorcher watch.
Scorcher watch, everyone, Scorcher watch.
Here we go. Is that Higby in motion?
No, it's poo. Go.
Cop. Oh.
Come on, buddy. We're starting Stafford in
waiver chasing right with Yelp Man Cup.
They're going to kick it. Oh, they're going.
Let's go. Wow.
Come on this, this has Higbee written all over it.
All over it. This definitely has him.
He's not. No, he's not.
In. That was Allen.
We've got Allen. Shit.
Yeah. OK.
Then we just. Got.
Bottom of the screen we got Robinson.
Bottom of the screen. Pooka.
Oh my God. Oh, it was Pooka.
Well, I'm starting to. Hit the fantasy points with
Pooka. Was that for the core?
We were debating it too. Did we go yards?
That's right. Yeah, we were debating, I think.
I mean, he still had a very nice yards for a first quarter.
What's he at? Did I?
I was like, does anyone who was poking around BBM pots?
I honestly didn't see much puka. I don't.
Have puka.
I don't have puka, so that's good for me.
If he's not well, he probably wasn't drafted enough, right?
That's what I wonder. And then he didn't have a
monster week 15, right? Like he would have been a guy
you had to drag with other pieces.
Because it wasn't owned in 100. What's that?
The advance rate would have been amazing.
Yeah, it would have been. But if he wasn't in every
league, how many leagues was he drafted in?
50%, yeah, I feel like he's probably close to half.
Yeah, I think that is the thing of like even being a high
advance rate, just not getting drafted in a lot of the
contests. Right.
And then having a rough week 15, he advances out of a lot of the
ones where he's drafted in. But also, I mean, he started
really hot, but he wasn't like he leveled off a little bit.
He wasn't like you know I don't think he he he's like ubiquitous
by the time I. Don't think I'm any.
Scooter free. Like you took him.
He was your 18th round where it was just like your team was
already just. I mean, he paid off his cost in
four weeks. That's right for sure.
By a long shot, Yeah, did do you know?
Wait, Gretch, do we have? Oh, I forgot about our other
sweat on this team. Tonight we have Rashid Shahid on
our BBM team. Oh, nice dude.
Oh, yeah. Let's go.
We got Shaheed. Yeah, and our.
Nyquad Thornton we got. Robio Dobbs we got.
I know we. Guys, you want?
We kind of need, you know, a random wide receiver to go off
'cause it's not the greatest wide receiver room.
Oh, Davonta missed practice. See, this is another Davontic
way. I have 60 people underneath
them, right? Yeah, I have a ton of Devanta
too, man. Oh man, that's going to be
brutal. I'm sorry, did you say Rashid
Shahid? Yeah, I mean, I say Rashid
Shahid cooter doodle just manifests.
I'm here. What's the real story about you
and the Rashid Shahid jerseys? How many Rashid Shahid jerseys
have you bought drunkenly at Saints games?
One, but I got on customer service in the Dome whenever
everyone was shaming me on Twitter and saying that's not
his number, that's not his number.
So I don't have any right now, but if he scores while I'm on
here, I'm getting one. I have it locked and loaded,
it's on the other monitor. I'm ready.
Creating a custom jersey doesn't.
No, no, they had the. Right, number.
It was NFL.com, but it was just the wrong number.
He's 22 and they had it 29. And I was just like, elated and
excited. He's bored, right?
He scored the wrong jersey number.
I had a couple beers in me and I'm just like, doing this now.
I'm in the doll. Numbers look the same.
That's why everyone's yelling purchase and then I post it on
Twitter because I'm like, that's my boy.
And then just comments wrong number, wrong number, wrong
number. It's terrible.
It's a weird as fuck number like you're.
I mean like you're not going to be like that's 2229 like it's.
I wasn't even checking. I was trusting the process, and
my husband is standing up because we're still like the
ball is back to the Saints and I'm on like customer service.
Like, excuse me, can I cancel my order?
So no jersey yet? That's crazy.
I I mean, I feel like the NFL just needs to do better.
I mean, you just have the Did he ever hear that number?
Pre season. Maybe he must have, I don't
know, for it to be on there. Yeah.
But yeah, he's 22 now. Everybody you live, you learn.
I I should do a proper introduction.
We of course have Amanda, AKA Cooter Doodle, AKA the The King
of Twitter, over here in a battle with the New York Times
trying to get sharp on the Wordle 1.
Of the funny. I've ever watched Cooter Doo.
I hope. I hope they vindicate you and
put. That, you know, I just have a
feeling they will. I think they will.
Have you gotten any feedback? Any likes traction from the
people at the paper of record? I might have gotten word from
the New York Times that they can't tell me if it's going to
be a word, but that they have passed it along to the gaming
division. Wow, so.
I'm just saying, if you all want to start chart, just, you know,
join the 'cause I think it might happen, I really do.
I might start chart. I might.
Do I have to start? Please, I'm telling you there's
no reason for it to matter, but it matters so much.
And my husband, he's like, I don't understand.
And I'm like, it doesn't just just get along with it.
You know what I mean? Start chart.
Amanda, do you know what this means?
So you write the Buy Sell Hold column for Fantasy Life.
I think next year you need to do a start sit column called Start
Chart. Oh, I'm down.
I'm so down. It should be it.
Writes it. That's that's amazing.
And I mean, like, I don't want to, you know, get ahead of it
here because it may never happen.
But if it becomes chart and knowing that, like strangers on
the Internet will think of me, 10 year old me is just going to
be beaming Like so excited. You know what I mean.
Right when they get the the all green on sharp, they're going to
think of you. It's a first charm, and that's
pretty sweet. It could happen.
Imagine the the gaming division
sitting around going through their line items for this
meeting and they're, you know, they're going through some stuff
of yeah, you know. Compelling.
I was. It was called compelling.
My argument was called compelling.
I feel like that's. I feel like we got a shot.
There's some there's some delightful punch lines in that
video. Yeah, do you?
Let me ask you a a very serious question.
If you weren't trying to see if Chart was the word of the day
every day on Wordle, would you still be playing Wordle daily?
No comment. I love you, New York Times.
I love you. New York Times.
Great answer. I was going to say I.
Remember. I I I read one of your
newsletters recently where you talked about extending a bit and
I was going to say with that video it's like you're just
playing Wordle still as an extension of just bits.
Riffing bits is a love language, you know.
It really is. It's fantastic, Amanda.
Sometimes we take for granted that people don't know what
we're talking about. Do you want to explain to people
like Jonathan what this sharp? Phenomenon is so as a doctor, I
recently graduated with my PHDA mission.
That I have joined is Wordle start chart.
I'm just trying to use all the leverage I have guys, all the
intellect, everything. I've made a very compelling
argument. It's a good start word to begin
with. Even if it doesn't become the
word, it's got all the good consonants.
And one of your arguments is that they've used other taboo
word. That they have.
They have. Like what?
I don't know. I don't know.
I feel I'm a little shy now, but they've they've used some words
they there's no rhyme or reason why they can't use shark.
They. Used be anal.
I mean, that was right. That was anal.
There's like no reason why they can't use it.
Be anal, dude. The last time, whenever it was,
it was like shark, I think, and those green tiles were flipping.
I've never felt joy. Like it was just like dopamine,
dopamine, dopamine. And then it, you know, it edged,
yeah, what you going to do? Did you?
Did you grow up in in in Louisiana?
How how long has your Saints fandom been going on for?
Yeah, I I've never. I've been here forever.
But my mom is like, I've said this before, but you'll never
meet her. But if you ever did, she's the
sweetest woman out there. She's so kind.
Like literally the other day we went to the Saints game.
We drop off my kid at her house and she had a bag of, like,
snacks. She's like, I know, y'all get
hungry after the game. She's so kind.
And the reason I say that is because when the Saints come on,
it's like F bombs. And she's like, I can't do this
anymore and she's off on the other side of the house and like
totally different personality. So that's what I grew up with.
That's fantastic. Yeah, she's the best you.
You normally go to to most home games, right?
We try to, yeah. When our heart can handle it we
try to. We were.
We were wait, hold on. We were there for the No Call
versus the Rams in the Dome. So.
This is. This name, you know, is bringing
back a little bit. Holy cow, the memory not.
About that, yeah. That was a that was a Shard of
a. No call.
That was a short of a new call. And when I tell you that was the
loudest the Dome has ever been because there was like taunting
from Sean Payton about like, they think we're not loud.
There was constant yelling. And this season, not the same.
No what it what is your like game like ritual?
I normally see your photos. You seem to always what have the
tall boy Estella going on there? Yeah, I don't know why I do
that. I just, they have like they've
they in the Dome now. I guess they're getting ready
for, ready for the Super Bowl. They extended everything and
they have like this grocery store area where you just go
walk in and it's just like walls of beers.
And I don't, I don't know, I just go with Stella.
It feels nice. Yeah.
Do you have you have that up here that's like, well, you
don't have to pay, right? You just like swipe your it's
all cameras and stuff. Oh no, no.
You definitely, yeah. Well.
You don't. You don't have.
To check out is it? No, you.
Do it's like touchscreen and then they you swipe your beer
and it's like bonk, I don't know what that is.
And so you have to just put in a fake beer for the same price.
It's so expensive, yeah. Up here in Seattle, at Safeco
Field, the Mariner Stadium, we have one where you swipe your
card and you're walking in. It's like an Amazon go plate
type thing. You swipe your card and you walk
in, take whatever you want, walk the F out, don't talk to anyone.
It's kind of great. You end up spending way too much
money. Yeah, and it like it knows what
you took off the shelves. You can get everything, all the
beer. You want the thrill of
shoplifting? You just have to check your
credit card bill in a month. I don't know, but that that kind
of scares me because that's like in the hotel whenever you just
like pick up to see what the NA charge you.
I don't know if I like that. I don't either.
Put my kids in there and they're like, how can I have this?
I'm like, wait, don't touch, we'll talk.
About it. The amount of time those Vegas
hotels have gotten me on those God damn Fiji waters there.
When you come back and you're dehydrated, you don't want to
drink out of the tap and you're like, God, yeah, I'll pay $14.00
for this Fiji water right now. We go prepared.
My husband brings cases of water when we go to hotels.
He's like, I'm not paying this, not paying these $5 waters.
Well, that's why when we were in Vegas, me and Gretch were like
we we basically acted like we had like we were Lewis and Clark
and and found California. But we two way in our trip to
CVS and we got water. We didn't have to pay $14.00 for
the water. Was it popcorn?
It was delightful. I imagine you guys were like
acting like the like The Three Musketeers in the desert with
like the canteen as you guys find the the case of water at
the CVS. We're just grunting at each
other. There was no even like like
words changed. Yeah, get out.
Have to ask this gretch do y'all have jambalaya in your in your?
We don't like any kind of we don't have any good stuff, but.
We have food. I'll I'll give you that.
We have good food. I'm coming there in. 10 days. 10
days for. Like in the Sugar Bowl.
Yeah, my Huskies. My Washington Huskies.
So I gotta ask you, I'm bringing 16 UW fans.
I decided I would ask you if we have a a good New Year's plan.
I what? I don't even remember what place
we're going to, but we're going to.
We're thinking about going to Frenchman Street to Cat
something Cat. Cat's meow.
Spotted cat. Spotted Cat?
Is that one of those kind of places?
Well. Lady of the night.
We don't know what we're. Doing what would you recommend
for a new in new? Orleans Is now a good time to
say that I don't actually live in New Orleans and I just say
that cause stranger danger. All right, get her off the show.
I thought we were getting like a hardcore local on the ship cast
out of here. We'll talk off, go to the games.
Yeah, we'll, we'll talk off stream about safety.
We'll talk later. We'll talk about.
You don't want our audience to know these safety tips.
Just be safe, be safe out there all.
Right. Have your wits about you.
There's there's scammers about. I've been there a couple times
we've been we've been offered you know cocaine on on Bourbon
Street. Like, it's just like there's.
There's a lot of we'll actually get salt, bunk weed.
Yeah, Well, yeah, my, a friend of mine did did buy some salt
one time on Bourbon Street. Oh, I I told you guys, my buddy,
a girl, like, pulled him down an alley.
He started, like making out with her and then she like made off
with his wallet and it was just like, like that.
And he was just like, wait, what's going on?
And then he didn't have his wallet and she.
Got it. They're they'll literally, like
on bourbon, they'll just shove like shots in your mouth all
sweet and kind and then they get super angry and they're like,
that's 40 bucks. Like they'll they'll get you,
get you good now. Kuderdo when when Jacob
Sanderson was on, he pulled up the park next to his house and
just kind of show us around the park, do you?
Do you want? To do that or.
Here's where I live. I live on bourbon.
Street. And we got zoomed in on the
block and we're like, maybe, maybe we're like going to find
his actual house. And then finally, he was like,
no, actually, it's two streets over because he like it got
weird. Oh my gosh.
I was actually hoping that we'd look good in this game and it's
not looking that way. What?
What is up with, like, the the Saints aversion to scoring?
It's like they got them moving the ball.
You know how like some teams, they say they script their first
few plays and then it's like, well, after that, fuck it.
It's like the Saints have all these plays like between the 20s
and then they get there and they're like, shit, we're fresh
out of place. We got.
I don't know. Well, last week, allegedly
someone else was calling the plays, so I had hope today.
We'll see. But I'm seeing a lot of
incompletes. I don't know.
I'll be honest.
I'm a little nervous. Like our whole division is bad.
So we still have a chance, you know?
Yeah. We still have a shot.
Gretch. That's a horrible division.
I'm going to pull up a picture for you of what I recommend
getting when you're in New Orleans, and that's one of these
huge ass beers. All.
Right. This is, this is one of the
trademarks of Bourbon Street here.
It's a great value. Go Puka, sorry.
Oh, oh, that trip. We do have financial interests
in some of these Rams passers. We want your team to win.
No, I love puka. I love Puka.
He's my waiver wire hero. Yeah, although one time you you
fake told people to sell them. In in your oh, fake, Yeah, yeah,
yeah. I will say though, as far as
beers go, I wouldn't recommend the huge ass beer because when
you talk from a scientific standpoint, it's going to get
hot. Like, you got to, you know what
I mean? Like, I know they don't look
good, but like those little baby beers are like, from a cool
standpoint, per chug, those are elite.
But from like a prop standpoint, from like a Carrot Top
standpoint, walking around with one of those.
Huge. Did you do the hand grenades?
I didn't. I think it's a good way to kind
of assimilate with the locals. Like you kind of just fit right
in with one of those huge S beers.
No one will. Ever.
Yeah. They definitely don't think
you're here for the first time, yeah.
Doesn't seem to receive all the huge S beer.
I will say you know the advantage of the huge S beer.
It would be helpful if you you didn't mind drinking warm beer,
but also how hard is it to get a beer?
Because if you're in a crowded situation and all of a sudden.
You know, that's. Good optimized for cool, but
have you optimized before having to go back to the bar too often
in a in a crowded? Sector Yeah, in the land of the
the packed bars, the man with the huge ass beer is king, I
believe, is how the saying goes. Forgot I was talking with
analysts here. You think about all the angles.
I forgot it was that. The landscape sometimes shifts
on you. You.
Gotta Gretch for when you go to watch your Huskies play.
What is the optimal level of drunkenness?
Like? Do you want to be, I know,
focused and dialed in or do you want to just?
Be real. He's ready.
He knows the answer. This is a big question.
No, I mean, I've already, I've already talked with my other
buddy that drinks a lot like I do.
Like. I mean you guys have been on
stream with me before you know that I, I I get a little too
excited. It doesn't start till 7:00 local
time either. Like over out here in the West
Coast, everything starts at like 5745 local.
Like that's all fucking day. I don't.
I mean, I usually go to games at like 5 out here on the West
Coast. I suggested that we should go to
the National World War 2 History Museum that day, so I.
It's pretty good, they. Sober for like a big chunk of
the day and really have my mind off the game.
But I'm still gonna like, even if we do that until like 3, I'm
gonna be drunk by 6. I mean, the idea would be to be
at like literally as sober as I can be is the answer to your
question, Pete. But I mean, I'm not.
I'm gonna. Let you know right now.
People start drinking in New Orleans like when the sun comes
up. So yeah, you'll you'll be yeah,
it's bad. You're going to have a bad
night. Bad next day.
Yeah. I mean it's.
Going to be. It's going to be the day after
New Year's Eve out in New Orleans as well.
Like we're going to need the hair of the dog in the morning.
It's going to be. I'm.
Not going to remember this game. I want to remember the game is
the thing. Oh.
My God. Just follow everything with the
water. Follow it with the water.
You're good. You'll be all right.
I need a big ass cigarettes with my big ass beer.
Scary. Two of them.
Is it in the Dome you? Know it's in.
Yeah, it's in the Dome. In the Dome.
OK, the Dome is a lot nicer than it used to be.
They they've changed it this year so that is good.
And at pro tip there if it's crowded for the bathroom, you
can. I don't know if this is
everywhere but now in the you can leave.
Now you can leave the Dome, go pee on the outside like in an
actual restroom, and come back in, not.
The side. Gretchen, right?
No, no. Of the Dome, No.
But like, you can leave so if there's a line just like hey.
Are you telling me I could mark my territory on the side of the
Dome? Like, that's a very male thing
to do. Yes, I mean Bourbon Street.
That's a different story. You can probably pee on Bourbon
Street. Not legally, but.
Is Bourbon Street Hack Cooter Doodle?
Is that just? Such a.
There's a scent, there's a smell, there's a scent, Yeah,
you'll know when you're getting close.
It's a. Little soapy the scent.
It smells. More like bodily fluids and salt
and even just there's like a it's like one of those things
where it's like a grossness then gets like.
Clorox. Yeah, And then that becomes part
of the smell. Yeah, you must have gone on
cleaning day one time we were going at the end of the games
we'll sometimes we'd go there go get.
There's these really cheap great pizza slices on bourbon and damn
10 Zero and we'd go and one time it was after it rained and I
just, I don't know why. I looked up and like Bourbon
Street roof juice got in my eye. And I remember I had this moment
where I was like, I know logically it's the roof, it's
separate from down here. But I I was a little afraid,
like I thought there would be a pink eye situation.
Roof juice. That's what happens when they
people get advice that they can go outside and pee on the Dome.
You did this? Yeah.
So it was definitely off the roof, though not off a balcony.
No, no, no. It was the roof.
OK.
Yeah, it's all good. Yeah.
But no, you'll have fun. Just just hydrate.
I mean, it's funny. We're like really just going to
to for the game because the Huskies haven't been this good
like in my adult lifetime it's been, you know, it's been a
really fun season. They're undefeated.
I think they have a legitimate shot to win against Texas.
We're we're facing our old coach he Steve, Steve Sarkisian used
to coach for UW but it turned into like a multi day thing in
New Orleans for like New Year's and all this and I don't know if
I'm prepared for all of that like I'm just going to watch a
football game. It's there's a lot more that's
going on. We got an Airbnb nearby and like
I mean I'm probably going to lose a wallet maybe a tooth.
We'll see. I've had a friend lose.
A tooth. I have had a friend lose a
tooth. Yes, it's.
This awful wide story too. Yeah.
Oh gosh. Well, if I lived there, I would
come see you, but I don't. So fair.
Enough. Have you been to the sports book
in Harrah's? I think I'm going to do Sunday
there. Harrah's we Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We went to Harrah's. We went to see Tenacious D
there. They played like in Harrah's.
There's a little place. We went there.
Want some money? So, I don't know, I probably not
the money you guys are winning on, you know, BBM, but.
Is it a? Well, at least one of.
Him. That guy?
Yeah. Is that a good place to watch a
game? Good.
Like TV?
Set up, there is a section. There's one part of it, yeah,
that there's like big screens. There's a a certain bar where
it's a lot of big screens. So yeah, that's a good one, but
there's like a lot of random you're as you walk around,
there's a lot if you. I guess it depends on the vibe
you want. There's a lot of like hole in
the wall bars where people are just there for Immaculate vibes
and it might seem a little sketchy, but you'll have a good
time, you know what I mean? Especially like 6 you and 16
Bros You'll be fine. You'll be safe.
That's a deep entourage you're. Right it is.
I don't know if I know 16 people.
There's several wives. My wife's going.
I'm. I'm more concerned about my wife
than myself, really, especially if I get too drunk.
And then it's like, oh God, I can't.
I mean, I need to like to like handcuff myself to her.
So I'm not like a bad husband, but just like.
That sounds like a bad husband. She has to drag you.
Oh. Man, I get a little excited, you
know, about things like my eyes catch shiny things.
It's like a cat. Have you?
You've never been there before? I have a couple times, yeah.
And I don't remember a lot. Yeah.
Well, that's what it's designed for.
It was one was a bachelor party. Yeah.
Great call on the Olave first downs that one part of our core
Pick EM CUDA duel, they set this at three first downs for your
guy Chris Olave already at 4:00. We didn't even.
That was easy. What's the other ones you'll
have? I feel like all we're talking
about is charts and drinking. Yeah, no.
Let's get down to brass tacks. Puk puka nekua.
Higher than somewhere between 60 to 65 yards?
No one really knows. He's probably gonna get it.
Yeah, Matthew Stafford, higher than 21 1/2 completions.
If Cooper Cup keeps dropping passes, I don't know if we're
gonna get there. Yeah, he's at 7 right now.
I mean. Seven for 10, that's pretty
solid. Yeah, Cooper Cups.
Really. Puka's already at 47, so I mean
really it is the completions, the script not ideal.
What do we need 21/21/22? Yeah, 22.
I bet the over on 10 incomplete for Derek Carr.
Really so. No, that's.
I don't know. Is that a thing?
I just made that up. Oh, not you got me legit lie.
That was. That's like a great lie.
I think I would. Make money.
That's a fun. One, why don't we do incomplete?
I was also like, I didn't know you were where you bet this
scooter. That's the black market books.
They get the the incompletion lines.
You have a Bucky who offers stair car incompletions.
Aye, she got me. She got me.
What? What is your What's your most
memorable moment at the Superdome or game?
Yeah. I mean, probably the no call.
That was a big one. My husband was there when we
went to the NFC Championship. We had just started dating, so I
wasn't invited. He's forgiven, but he was there
for that and he said just everything was wild.
But yeah, no call was a big one. That was a bad one.
When you went to the MC Championship, So wait, that was
the. Super.
I didn't go. I went to a lot of games that
year. We, our friend had like
Nosebleed. We were in college and my
husband went a lot and he went to the NFC championship that
game. To the NFC Championship.
Yeah, and that was the year we won the Super Bowl.
Yeah. Which not all teams do, so it's.
Were you there when they played the Vikings and Stefan Diggs did
the the late touchdown? I'm.
Going to be honest. I'm going to be honest with you,
Gretch. I forget a lot of things I might
have been. I don't know unless I like tell
myself, lock in this exact team and this exact play.
Couldn't tell you. I went.
I went to Dome last week. Who did we play?
Give me a second. I don't know.
I don't remember. I.
Don't know we did. The Saints for last week.
I don't. I don't remember either little.
What's we've had a a couple. We won.
I know that the. The scene's.
Going to take on on Sean Payton at this point.
I like Sean Payton. I think he's fixing Russell
Wilson. I I I think that him and Drew
Brees extended themselves a little too far when they were
here. There was that one season Tom
Brady was still in what was this 2-3 years ago and Drew was hurt
but they didn't tell the fans he was hurt until the offseason of
the neck like at the end. And I feel like if we would have
put Jameis in there was a game against Tampa Bay.
I do remember this there was a game against Tampa Bay that we
would have moved on and it was a big deal and he they just stuck
with Drew for whatever reason. He couldn't get it down the
field, pass like 1015 yards and if they would have put Jameson,
I think we would have beat Brady.
In the in the playoffs, that's the year they won the Super
Bowl. Jared Cook had a big fumble in
that game. I believe that was Drew Brees
last game in the NFL. It was.
It was, yes. And then later, they're like,
oh, he was hurt. And it's like, yeah, no, can we
say bad words? Shit.
Yeah. OK, no shit.
Sorry. But like, it was one of those
games where I'm like, we all knew.
Put Jameson in, give us some first downs, you know what I
mean? So that was frustrating.
I love Drew. Love everything he did.
But I think, I think we should have put Jameson in that game.
They could have won that game. They were leading, if I'm not
mistaken, by 10 in the second-half of that game and I
don't. Know how you remember that that
is. Because I spent a lot of, I
spent a lot of time being a hater on that, that Bucks team.
They got so lucky. That was the luckiest run to the
Super Bowl. The NFC was weak.
Their game against the Packers the next week was super lucky
and. All of it for the 2nd that it
was announced Tom Brady was coming to the Bucks.
I knew. I even, I told my husband, I'm
like, we're fucked, we're screwed.
Everything's over. And then Gron came and I'm like,
Yep, done. Put the nail in the coffin.
We're not going to the Super Bowl.
I'm not bitter. You don't sound like it, I'm.
Not bitter. Amanda, what is your
professional opinion? Will Kendra Miller ever be a
thing? Preferably by like next week.
Nope. Wow.
Swag Daddy. Just too much to overcome on
that. Damn chart.
Oh wait. Speaking of I put this, I
brought this. So the whole the lure of Rashid
Shaheed. Wrong number.
Jersey mid game, whatever. Somebody gifted me.
One of my friends gifted me the wrong number.
Jamal Williams jersey. Wow.
That's amazing, thoughtful gift. Riff and bits.
Man, riff and bits, I don't know.
I think they had it before that all occurred, but I'm going to
just assume it was from the heart.
They gave you a used Jamal Williams jersey.
Why isn't he #30? He's always been #30.
He was using 30 in Detroit, right?
Yeah, and the Packers, I think. Right.
Is there someone in New Orleans who's number 30?
Look, now it's a soft sack. Look at his sack from car Just.
Say it again. What I'm trying to?
Figure did somebody have #30 already locked up, or did he
just want to change his number? I don't understand any of the
number stuff, I'll be honest. They all look the same.
Well, not that, not that I understand which numbers are
bigger than other numbers, I know that, but like.
When you're. Doing I have a problem like and
it's. I'll say this, I I never played
football. I don't know if y'all know this
about me. I've never played football other
than yard ball. And I will say one time in my
friend Derek's yard I did a spin move and went for a touchdown in
his front yard and everyone went wild.
We want that to be on the. Right.
Yeah, I have the ball over there if you need it for proofing.
But so seriously, I did a spin move, so I know, I I know ball
right? But I've never played
professionally again. Don't know if you know that but
so I don't understand the number lore of like I guess how
attached you are to a number. I I can kind of get it but I
don't fully get it. So when there's all these
battles over numbers and they offer like I'll give you 5
million if you give me your number, I'd be like I'd take
that. I would take that.
Like. Take my number.
You know what I mean? Generally, if a wide receiver
wants 24, that's a bad sign. Why?
This is called the Sky More rule.
You know, only one guy has ever done it in.
Sky War. I thought that was good at slap,
too. That's that's Ken Griffey,
junior's number Man, 24. Everyone hated that.
I don't think it looks good, but I was like, low key.
It's kind of cool because 24 is the coolest number.
Yeah, 24 hours in a day. Another use for the #24.
Wow. D Rob extending the drive
Amanda, do you buy the stuff that, like everyone on the
Saints hates Derek Carr? You know, I kind of do.
I'm not going to lie. My mom buys into it and I've
already told you her thoughts. You know she's swaying me.
I mean, I off season with oh shoot, I'm going to forget his
name. The other the other quarterback
that took the little beautiful pictures.
Jake Haner. Yes, Haner, I was going to say
Rayner Haner. He played for the Huskies and
then transferred to Florida State.
And then? Full circle.
Look at this. OK, so him, Jamal Williams.
Who else is silly goofy Jameis Winston?
I was like, oh, our locker room is Immaculate.
It's a good locker room and yeah, totally flipped.
I don't feel like it's a good locker room vibe right now like
there's been in the last. Earlier on in the season, there
were times where Kamara was giving interviews, talking about
how people weren't preparing and he was kind of throwing shade at
other players and I think he threw shade at a Lavae.
Like talking about this person has been practicing and reading
and doing things in their off time and he's there's been
there's been some shade thrown and these press conferences and
like team interviews. So yeah, I think.
I think it's in shambles. It's pretty ironic that the guy
whose brother was calling for Marcus Mariota to play over
Jalen Hurts is widely hated by his team and everyone who would
rather have Jameis Winston playing over him.
That is ridiculous. I know that that was the most,
yeah, there's been some embarrassing analyst moments
this season, But calling for Marcus Mariota to play where
Jalen hurts the bad, As bad as we, Wasn't that because of
injury? I thought I saw clip sort of
like playing. But he wasn't healthy, and it
was about not him not being healthy.
Then he kind of doubled down on it again.
Yeah, it's just a extremely. Big people gave him a chance to
kind of just be like, no, I'm a smoke, this is what I meant.
And he he doubled down. Sometimes you respect the double
down, sometimes it's not so good you.
Play Blackjack, Cooter, Duel you.
Ever get, you know. Yeah, What's your game of
choice, I? Love a little roulette?
OK. Well, like sprinkle, sprinkle
some chips on the board and, yeah, yeah.
Little group sweat. Yeah, one time we It was after
the Bills played the Saints. I I told my friends I was like,
we're we're going to the casino going to Harrah's after.
And I said if the Saints win I'm putting something on black.
If the Bills win, I'll put it on red.
And so we went in roulette. I think the Bills won put it on
red and sprinkled a few in the middle and turned 100 bucks into
like 350 and I-1 spin. And I was done, done for the
night, 'cause I'm that's my kind of play.
I don't I'm like one made it and all my friends are teasing me.
They're like, we have a whole night of, you know, I was like,
I don't care. I don't care.
Done. I'm going to walk out of here a
winner. Yeah.
I just watched them play. Yeah, I think, I think if the
New York Times knew with what kind of high character and high
disciplined individual they were dealing with here, chart would
be in the paper tomorrow. I'm not going to lie, I don't
know why, but I'm so, like, nervous about it.
Like in the mornings I'm actually giddy, like I'll play
wordle and I put it in. I'm like this could be the day.
If they. If they ever do do it, you would
be able to experience it organically or it would get
spoiled to you by. I just want to you just said do
do it and we're talking about. Charting.
Yeah, we'll do do it. You do.
You do? You.
Do. Gosh, grow up, Gretch.
But no, I you're right. Make a pact that they don't
spoil it if you see it that you you let Amanda.
Experience it on no, no, no, no. I want everyone to tag me.
I want to be known as the Shark Girl.
No, I'm not saying that. I've never for the record.
For the record, I've never. For the record, yeah, there you
go. I said this in the group chat on
Twitter the other day. I'm like, for the record, I
don't know if I need to say this, but I've never sharded.
I just play shart. I do feel like I should just put
that on the record. Yeah.
I just. Think it'd be magical if you
could pull it up and get to experience it on.
Your own. Kind of like I feel like a.
Moment where we're all waiting for you to see it.
So if you've moved the needle with the New York Times, they
have to have the next like couple months planned.
You gave it to an end of next year.
What do we think it is over under.
Such. A noon.
But see, this is the problem. I gave them till the end of 2024
and I feel like I fucked up there because that's a long
time. Yeah, normally get paid, you
know what I mean? But it's a.
It's a. It's a long time, but it's the.
It's an. Amount of time.
It's doable for them, yes. Like it's it's a deadline.
But it's also like an extremely doable deadline.
It is. It's just, it's just enough for
the collective to forget and then just bam, you know, just
throw it in. There.
So if they haven't done it by like November, like we're all
going to be playing a lot of world next year in November, I
feel like you're going to be tweeting about it a lot when we
get. I'm going to need numbers, yeah.
Yeah man. Have you thought about like,
when, if it's going to happen, what the ideal time is?
Because if this happens, let's say like September 20th, you're
going to get like you can get a couple days because we're all
going to move on. Football's happen.
But if this happens in like June, that's like a six week
Twitter extravaganza of I'll say.
This, I'll say this, my real life boss saw the video and I
already told him like, I'm taking off that day.
If it happens, I'm taking off and he's like, he's like, I
totally get it. Like I get he's full supporting
so. I want to get a big ass beer and
I'm going to walk around. Bourbon Street Get.
Some roof. Juice, I know what day it's
going to come. It's going to be November 6th,
2024, a day after the election when we need to unify America.
We're all going to be divided and they're going to drop start
and it's going to be this coalescing moment for the
nation. See, I have a better theory.
I think it's going to happen soon because they want the hype,
they want people in. They need, they need numbers.
Wordle's dying off, you know what I mean?
They need the numbers. And I and Shark is going to save
the day. And I feel like they're going to
do it during the holidays because everyone's going to be
around opening gifts. Like picture Christmas morning,
like close your eyes Christmas morning, you get go downstairs,
you get your coffee. The kids are excited about
Christmas. They think Santa came and then
Oh my God, guys do Wordle. Look at Wordle.
You got to do. And then, boom, it just
explodes. They have a resurgence, You know
what I mean? Just mornings.
Yeah. Yes.
Christmas morning. Christmas morning.
I was picturing gifts like that was my five letter word on that
day. Not necessarily Shark.
They're traveling. Gary Carr doesn't.
Shard himself on one single drive in the Saints score here.
Who says no? Rashid Shahid, please.
I'm telling you, I have it locked and loaded.
Right now I have to go with a white jersey, 'cause they don't
have a small and black, so that's rude.
Really. Yeah, but I got it locked and
loaded. You even got a promo code NFL
15. If he scores ATV, you're buying.
Oh yeah. Ready.
Ready to do it? You're.
Ringing the bell. It's the correct number, 22.
When we hit our pickups around here, Amanda, we if we hit our
five leg, we kind of have a collective pack to order Taco
Bell. And so this is like your version
of that If Rashidi hits scores, you get the jersey.
Yeah, I'll just say this too. Remember we did our BBM.
Whatever that was is one of your last ones during that last
stream. Garrett Wilson a little early at
that. Hold.
On. So at the end you were like, if
we went, I was like, I don't want anything, just give me an
olave jersey and you're like, I'll get you a truckload.
And I'm pretty sure, yeah, we went Wilson first.
It was. It was, yeah.
I'm not getting that a lot. Well, no, because I was, I was
pretty toasted by the end of that marathon stream.
And you come on and you're like, do I think we had the 102 or
something? You're like, do you?
I? Was like crazy some fun and.
You're like and you floated Garrett Wilson.
And you you were like, nervous to float it.
I was like, hell fucking yeah. We're taking Garrett.
Wilson I'll say this though, let me.
Tell you that would have paid off.
It was. At the time, it wasn't that
crazy. It wasn't.
Like hindsight was watching this.
I caught some of the stream. I was watching this and I that
was an electric moment. You guys are not you're
understanding. I will say not to bring up my
boss again, but he saw it was what?
Are you serious? Are you kidding?
I'm watching it on my phone because I don't have ATV up
here. 2. 2. Dude, check out right now.
Oh my God. Dude, this is.
Me. Yes, Sir, baby hunting.
That's mine. I love that we're all excited
about this. I mean, how can you not be
excited? You just said you're going to
buy the jersey. But you get it in.
White because they don't have to swallow in black.
Guys, yeah, white jersey, #22 shaheed wearing it to the next
game. I think we play the Falcons.
They haven't announced when or where, but or no, they haven't
announced when. But I know where I'm incredible.
I don't know if it'll be here in time, but I don't give a shit.
45 Yard TV? That's incredible.
Hold on, hold on, hold on. I feel like I have to see it
again to be sure it is real. OK, Just gotta, gotta live it.
Gotta live it. Well, the second he uncorked the
deep ball, I'm like it's either all over there.
She Yeah, that boom. They had three dudes on all of
it. They just showed the replay.
He deserves so much better. He he should have been scoring
every game. There's so many times that I'm
like, just go to Shahid, throw the ball, dude.
OK Are we back in it? Are we back in it?
He. Was wide open.
I really don't want to get too distracted, but I have to ask
something to both of you guys, 'cause I noticed this for some
reason. I want to say it was when I was
watching the Huskies. Gretch and then Shahid doing it
too. These guys who have their mouth
guards, but they don't wear them when they're playing and it's
like flopping. Hanging out?
They're running. I'm like, that would drive me
nuts, like my OCD would not be allowed.
Like as Rashid Shahid was running like it was like
bouncing up on his face. I'm like, how do you do that?
Like, I don't even know what the question is, but I I agree with
everything you just said. My question is why?
Why? Why don't they?
Pete, Pete, As somebody who's played ball in this guy Derek's
front yard and did a spin move, I think it's just all about
vibes. And if you feel like someone's
coming, it's like a it's a taunt to be like you're not going to
tackle me. I don't need to protect these.
I don't need. Do you shake the mouthpiece a
little, like? Yeah, it's a taunt.
It's definitely a taunt. What if they take it out?
Everything, yeah. What if he takes it out
sometimes when he's like just a decoy deep runner and then he
left it out? It's a tell.
It's a tell dude. DS don't think he's getting the
ball, 'cause it's flopping around.
He doesn't even have his mouth guard in and.
Then he's yeah. Then he's gone, right?
It's like, ah, it's a run play. The The receiver's mouth guard's
not even in boom Bayou dude. Welcome to the.
Bayou. Guys chat.
Can you let my husband know I just bought a jersey?
I love it. It's destiny.
Three to seven business days. That's going to be here in time.
Come on, we're good. We're good.
You go in there and pay for expedited shipping.
I'll, I'll cover the expedited. Shipping.
Let's get. This thing here, no, I already
it's good. We're done.
It's purchased. All right.
I just want to you know what that's that's very cathartic.
It feels so good to have done it.
You know what I mean? To be done.
It's the right one. Would you consider us the good
luck charms, the ones who unlocked the?
Shahid, I mean, of all the quarters for it to happen, for
it to be this one, it does feel a little lucky.
It does feel a little lucky. It's pretty good luck.
A fake component into this. You guys are saying luck.
I think destiny might be, you know, the word.
I think it was the mouth guard thing.
I think it was a doonsay who was doing that, that I was just
like, how does he he just the whole time, just no mouth guard
in. It's like, trust me, I don't
care about safety. I don't care about the teeth.
I'm just saying it would be annoying to me to have it
floppy. I mean, if you want to have your
teeth busted out, I mean by all means.
Why? Why?
Wouldn't you? Take.
I like the decoy narrative. Yeah, I like to.
Clarify. It's a lot about clear.
Safety. Yeah, I just want to be careful.
I mean, I'm not carrying water for these players.
Teeth. I'll tell you that much.
Oh my gosh, Rashid Shahid. And you, I mean, you're you're
pretty sober too, like you did this with complete clarity of
mind. She had it in the carpet before
she came on. I mean, this was this was ready
to go. All right, I put an old photo,
but it's out in Twitterverse. Now it's done.
There you go. So I did hear earlier, Are you
drinking a Margarita Gretch? I made it.
I poured some tequila and then I had some Margarita mix and then
it was in the back of the fridge.
I grabbed it, started pouring. There was like none left.
I'm like, oh, this is not going to be enough for the glass that
I have poured less Margarita mix than tequila in, added some
orange juice. I've had a whole lot of fun.
You know what the new thing is? Is ranch waters.
Have you had a ranch water? It's tequila, crunchy water,
whatever that is. Sparkling water.
Salt on the rim. Sometimes they'll put tahin
good. It's.
A little healthier, less sugar. Yep.
Less headache it was. Yeah, that was a fun one.
We had a few of those. I'm just going to say in the
chat, everybody's saying that Stafford needs to throw a
touchdown. Now that's rude.
Guys, we have a guest. Here, let the Saints win,
please. And we are only here to root for
Saints things. All right.
I know you have money on the line, but like, my heart's on
the line. Exactly.
That's fair. Because the Saints are in this
weird position where we've done just good enough to not get a
good pick. So I feel like we just have to
go all in now and have to try. Like if I was in, if I was in
the locker room, I'd be like, guys, listen up, We could have
tanked, We could have tanked, but it's too late.
We probably won't win, but you got to at least give it your
all. Well, one thing that's true or
fair is that, oh, the Bucks give the Jags this week.
I was going to say that they play.
The Bucks next. Week.
What? The Bucks don't have to face
Lawrence. And then they also get the
Panthers from the 18. So you're not.
Going to get too lost. With a lot of them, yeah.
Yeah, yeah. We have to win.
We have to win it out. That's brutal.
And I don't think we do. You got to win this game.
I was going to say this game might not matter as much as next
week, but this game still matters quite a bit.
Amanda, where do you fall on the 'cause you are both a Saints fan
and a fantasy football fan. As a Saints fan, I imagine you
want Arthur Smith to be employed as the Falcons head.
Coach, I love it. 10 decades as a fantasy fan.
Do you have Bijon on any teams? Would you like to see him go?
Are you conflicted? I do think it's weird to be
like, it would be like if we all drafted talent in our fantasy
leagues and we're like, let's bench him, let's bench him,
let's see what happens. You know what I mean?
Yeah, Which as somebody who benched DK in like Week 14 or
whatever, it was like, that's kind of the vibe.
You know what I mean? Yeah, that's kind of vibe.
So it hurt. But see, but that hurt me so
much that I would never do it again.
So I don't know what kind of brass balls Arthur Smith has
that he's like hearing everyone and he knows what we all think
and he's still doing it. I don't understand.
He sleeps well at night. I have you.
Are a a woman on Twitter you've been mansplaining to before.
Arthur Smith is the head coach version of mansplaining.
He wants to explain to everyone how to coach A-Team and how he's
smarter than everyone. But there's something missing,
there's a piece missing that I don't understand, or there's
some things. Success.
Like is he? I don't want to use the word but
because what is a psyop? But is he a psyop?
Like what's happening? Why is he in there?
What is he doing? I like that.
He might. Hey, look, you're by the way,
your Saints are about to get the ball back with about $1.30 and
$1.30 in a long drive. That's Derek Carr's music, baby.
I mean, if there's anyone, he's ready to step up to the
challenge. So you're saying Shaheed scores
again? Oh my, we might have to shut.
Hang on. You get another promise, you.
Buy a second jersey if he scores.
After on this game he gives. A jersey.
I'll give to Jersey if he scores again.
You get a jersey. I'll give to Jersey to somebody
in the chat. If you're not a small, I'll get
like Jersey. Are you bummed now because you
you got the Jamal Williams white jersey and you just got the
Shaheed? Are you hoping to get a black
jersey in there? A little color?
Palette. Texture.
I just feel like I don't know. I don't know why I care.
Black just feels. It looks good.
Yeah, black jerseys are all inside jersey, I feel like.
It's like the emo in me. I don't know but.
Yeah. The white ones get dirty.
Yeah, you eat nachos and you know, like, it's just not not a
good. I had a bunch of jerseys as a
kid. The one that I always think
about is a black Ed Reed jersey. I had a black Ravens jersey.
God, that was a sweet jersey. I mean, that's just like the
black jerseys are the best they are.
So I'm just gonna say one. It was a black rich Gannon
jersey. There we go.
Moral. Lava.
Oh my God, he's balling. Dude, they're moving.
All my alave teams are dead, but he's balling now.
I had a lot of alave this year. None of it's alive a bunch.
Look, I'm just going to say this for the record, half the catches
and Shaheed has more yards than puka Nakua.
Just saying, just saying half the.
Catch another catch there, Pete. Dude, Shaheed's going to give us
a legit ceiling game. He's over 14 right now.
And it's not even half. Dude, if they score again.
Oh, that's him again. He didn't catch that.
I don't. Like give it to him.
Challenge it for the fly I'm. Going to be honest, I don't know
if it's because I'm a cheapskate or I'm a boomer, but what are
y'all watching the game on right now?
I'm literally on sleeper. Just like watch.
I'm like. What's?
On Amazon Prime, you're. On a sleeper.
Just watch it on Amazon Prime. I guess I could just log into
Prime. Never mind.
Just kidding, That was a bit. Have you not even seen the
Shaheed touch tube? No, when y'all said it, I'm like
reload, reload. You just want to search you on
Twitter? Shit, you bought that jersey
sight on scene. Like you didn't know for a.
Fact rolled back the tape. Did you hear me?
When I was like, hold on, let me look at that again.
Are we sure? Now I wish we all would have
like just punked her before. Super doodle.
Oh. Oh gosh.
Oh man. I don't know.
It just feels it feels good now to just do a little bit of this,
just check it. I mean, I've watched games like
that before. Just like I'm scrolling the game
dude. Especially.
With kids, you have a kid throwing a fit, you're reading a
book and you're just like reload, reload.
Not that I would wait. Wait just a second.
I'm a parent for. Oh man, I get in trouble with
that, 'cause I I do the just a second and I I get to into the
phone and then it's like, man, it's been like 2 minutes instead
of just a second, like. My kid, my kid perpetually roots
against the Saints, though, 'cause I guess she is just her
own person. She's, I guess a troll.
I don't know. She roots against them just to
do it, but it gets her into football.
So I'm like, you root for whoever you want.
That's fine. That's tough.
How old is she? She just turned 6 and she would
always root for the Bucks, and the Bucks would always win.
And I'm like, I don't want to support this, but you're making,
but you're making good picks. Come on, Stafford.
No. Oh man.
D Rob, dude, you were so on this D Rob thing, the only thing they
offered was the spicy touchdown which we which we put on the
five leg. But they didn't.
And that's has it happened. And that's the only thing that
hasn't happened. But you were.
You were like no, dude, it doesn't matter if Tutu goes
cause D Rob's been. Playing What's a spicy
touchdown? Is it just 'cause you don't
expect it? It's when you when you put tahin
on the rim. Oh, OK.
Normally like when you add it, it's just whatever the number,
so it's like even money or whatever.
But the Tyler Higbee, you got your entry 2.5 X multiplier, so
it's a little under shot, but you get paid out.
Accordingly. No, no, no.
I know. I'm asking for the people in the
chat that didn't just for. Everyone.
Yeah, No, for sure. Yeah.
For anyone at home. The Scorcher.
It's a. Multiple It's a little pepper,
the little red pepper. You spice it up.
And the multipliers? It's math.
You just multiply the numbers. You just multiply it.
Yeah, but we needed DeMarcus Gretch's favorite thing about
Demarc and DeMarcus Robinson is that he isn't Van Jefferson.
I think that's the one point for.
Greg Elite elite selling point, though, let's be honest.
I wanted Van Jefferson to be a thing so bad.
Arthur Smith wants to make him a thing so bad.
You know it. You know it.
He ran him the like most routes of anyone on the team, like 3
weeks after they got him and then like 3 weeks later he was
down to like 15% routes. It was like, yeah, this didn't
work. We got to we got to take him off
the field, though. So wait, what it?
What's that? Ours, no mine's off topic.
Oh no, that's what we love. I just want to know what are all
your home team people? What's your like, your home
teams? I grew up fan, but I feel
nothing now. A Who Fan Broncos.
Oh yeah, that that sucks. I grew up in Seattle, a
Minnesota Vikings fan. I was Seattle Sports for
everything else but my grandpa. Both my parents are from
Montana, and my one grandpa was a big Vikings fan.
I grew up rooting for like Randy Moss, Chris Carter also kind of
feel nothing, feel nothing. I I I had a brief, brief love of
the the Raiders when they had Rich Gannon Jerry Rice Tim Brown
Charlie Garner and then all those guys retired like together
and then I was just left with the the Raiders.
So I don't. I don't have a team.
Anymore, just the name, just the name.
Yeah, isn't your brother like a big Vikings fan?
Huge Vikings fan. He was nine years old during
Randy Moss's rookie year and I think he just was like, yes, I
was 11, same very similar experience.
It was very fun. That year was awesome.
So he was like NFL Blitz 2000 came out and you could beat them
on NFL Blitz. Oh God, it was it.
Was great. But my brother used to.
I mean, when we were in high school, he would listen to
Minnesota talk radio on the Internet like, he would stream
like. And it was just, it was just
like call in radio shows of like and it was during the Brad
Childress era. I mean this is like the Vikings
sucked. Like he's it's like The Love
Boat era. Like they were.
Like they, they sucked. Or maybe that was.
The But like, think of the foundation that he built for
you, you know what I mean? Like, no, that was I'm being
serious. Like, I mean, you were exposed
to, you know, a lot. I mean, I was now.
I I didn't he. That's just his thing.
I. I never.
Well, you're listening, though. Yeah, it.
Was one thing we had. We like, put this on.
It's on YouTube somehow, I don't know.
It's like it was horribly scorching.
Scorch, scorch, scorch, scorch. Yes, unbiased opinion, unbiased
opinion you. Don't know not.
Sorry, you were not. Excited.
About the Scorcher moment. Let us have the scorch moment.
So we already got 15 completions.
Yeah. You already got Puka at 63
yards. He might not be over yards.
Yeah, he's over. And The funny thing is he's over
on the other one scratch. It's this.
This is the only one he's not over on.
See, y'all aren't. I thought the whole bit is that
you have to sweat. Y'all are doing good.
That's bad, right? Come on, Cooter deal.
Every doing good is. Bad on here.
Let us have one week where we do good, OK?
Good is we're trying to win. It needs to be a quarter four
like 2 minutes left. Yeah.
This rules, this is all we need is cup.
Now to get like 50 receiving yards.
We need, we need. Oh, he gets one step.
From Puka and Cup and Stafford needs to get what, 6 more
completions? Yeah.
Oh, Stafford's. Really.
Comes down to cup. It's comes down to cup.
We need cup. Still needs to stop dropping
fucking balls, dude. Cadarius, Tony out.
Here, Marcus Robinson, look at Lou Dog.
He knows what's up, 682 one. DeMarcus Robinson is what you
need. I mean that's that's what I was
trying to tell you guys. DeMarcus Robinson, some of the
chat earlier was like it took all year.
But it's finally not the worst call that of the whole offseason
that I was. Remember when I was touting
DeMarcus Robinson in August? A little bit, I think.
We have him in the. It's suddenly an amazing call
because this week matters so much.
Score TD is what it counts. That was the thesis, yeah.
DeMarcus Robinson, Classically an archetype, will do well in
Week 16, but yeah. I.
Think it's going to take time for?
His blocking to win out, I can't.
Keep up with the verbiage, because Pete said that the other
day. He's like, that's your thesis.
I'm like, huh, I can't keep up. You've like literally written a
thesis. You're aph, yeah.
Well, that's why I was confused. I'm like, huh?
And then I saw somebody in an NFT post, say the thesis.
I'm like, oh, it's a it's a young buck thing.
Oh, come on. So the Bros.
It's what the Bros are doing. Bros are doing Did you write a
thesis for your PHDA? Dissertation A.
Dissertation. What was the topic of your?
Dissertation. Maybe we start saying that that
was the dissertation. Of the play.
Yeah. Don't ask me what the difference
between a thesis and a dissertation is.
I think it's just one's thicker. I think one you.
Have to. You have to present a
dissertation. Oh my God, Another T Oh, that
was almost. It they went deep to shade, he
almost had it. I mean, he had one-on-one,
there's only there's only 15 seconds in the half, but he had
one-on-one coverage he could have.
Done it. Imagine.
I think Derek Carr did that for me.
I want to know what your what your dissertation was about.
What did you write about? I want to let you go.
Full screen here. Maybe you could?
Just read it all to us. I have the book over there
somewhere. Actually we're oh, I do have the
book on the ground. It was Compensatory Strategies
in an Individual's Language disorders over a 10 year period.
Pococks in that Pocock analysis. Our.
Views are skyrocketing. I say we let her cook, boys.
The the It's about this thick. Wow, what you wrote was that
thick? Or was it like a book report on
something? I can get a beer.
Hold on, watch this. I'm gonna go get.
I'm also go get my my hole in one ball, 'cause I got a hole in
one in 2012 and no one's talking about it.
So hold on. One second.
Where does she say Pocock analysis?
That was a made-up word. That's not a thing she's
recording. Her knowledge over.
Pocock. Analysis.
Pocock. Brown light your search results.
Pull up there, buddy. The Pocock boundary gives AP
value threshold. All right, hold on.
Got the goods? Josh Allen is dead.
Very. Good.
Josh Allen is Daddy. You just went full.
Dissertation just coming out with all the is.
That like size 28 font. Hole in one ball 6/25/2012 Hole
#1695 yards with A9 iron. If if if I was lying about
having a hole in one, that's the exact prop and thing.
Stop. I'm not.
Lying. I'm just saying that's.
What's real? It's real.
Any. Way to verify this on the
blockchain. No.
Not at all. Have you thought about turning
that ball into an NFT? One of one.
Are those still real? I don't know.
Do they still? I hope so, I got a lot of them.
Beat. It's halftime.
We got to, we got to fire up some are.
We going to have anything in the lobby tonight.
Well, that's a good question. I think so.
OK, let's see. It's a close game.
OK, we got some stuff. Yes, Kudo, we need your.
Expert we need yes. Insight.
I'm still ready. I don't know what's happening.
We're, we're going to build some second-half ones here, but we're
we need your insight on the vibes of the Saints, right?
Now. Right.
All right, so they're they're right now they're talking with
the code. Yeah, OK.
You can see. Their current stat there next to
the Blue dot and we want to know are they going to go higher or
lower than that's their end line.
Is Derek Carr going to go from 163 / 300?
I I kind of think he might kind of think they're going to have
to throw. They're.
Trailing. Do we think it's weird that
Kamara only has three receiving yards, right?
Now I do I do actually. Yeah, that seems like a higher
to me. I like that over, yeah.
Yeah. Well, wait.
Olave's going to have 1-10. Olave could go higher.
Yeah. Oh, Rashid Shahid over 4.5.
He just got to catch two more balls.
Are we just ripping it in on a Derek Carr quadruple?
Oh no, Maybe we don't want to put all our eggs in one car.
Back. I don't think Kamara necessarily
makes sense. They've been attacking pretty
vertically so far. But maybe, I mean, do you think
they're going to be running a bunch of screen?
Yeah, maybe they will. I like the shaheed call.
He seemed to be getting involved.
Although he only has three catches, I feel like he has six.
So I mean, he's not as active as that.
Cheap but as the. Cooper cup projection is having
us not hit our our pick em. They have him at 55 1/2.
Yeah, it makes sense. Only got 28, keeps dropping
everything. Yeah.
What do you Yeah, Kyron, they they're only giving us receiving
yards for Kyron. Nothing on the rushing front.
That's pretty low on the receiving.
That's like one catch, but maybe that's a.
Trap. Yeah.
What do we what do we think about this?
Jamal Williams Lower than 1/2 a reception is Jamal Williams
catching a pass. It's a brutal sweat.
But that's a brutal, brutal sweat.
I don't think I want that in my life.
Derek Carr, Late game if they're still trailing late.
Derek Carr's checking down so much on the last two drives.
Kendra Miller's out. Dude, I I like the over on that.
Like he's going to be out there for a fourth quarter reception.
I also don't want to sweat that. I don't want to think about
Jamal Williams. Jamal Williams has caught a ball
in all but one game in the last 123-4567 games.
Wow, that that conversation we just had made me want to go back
to that Kamara that you just took off.
I actually really like that now you're going to get Derek Carr
check downs in the fourth quarter.
Yeah, Yeah. Do I think we just rip it in?
Derek Carr, Shaheed Kamara Laave.
But we got to, we got to do something.
Rams we got to do something. I don't.
Know what we do over the Rams I. Was just checking if there was
anything on the. DeMarcus Robinson only needs 10
1/2 more yards. Do it for gretch.
Do it for gretch? No.
We don't. We don't have to do that.
We. Could take the cup.
What if we take the cup higher here?
Yeah, at least. That that makes me more nervous
than the Robinson one for some reason.
Which one do you guys like more, receiving yards or receptions?
I kind of like receptions. I feel like you might get a few
key third down catches, like go to guy, you know, one-on-one
coverage kind of stuff. How many yards?
Who has 8 targets in the first half?
Come on, Brutal, I say. We.
Wait, how many yards are we talking about here?
55. You're talking about 28 yards,
yeah. All right.
And so divided. So that's we're talking about
9.2 yards per catch. I think Pat's saying no.
Versus 3 receptions. I I kind of like the receptions.
Yeah, I I'm, I'm fine with either.
But I I think what if he or is he going to average more or less
than 9 yards of catch? Well, the only way receiving
yards, hits and receptions doesn't is if he gets 28 yards
on 2 catches. If he gets to the 9.1 that
you're talking about, then he's gone over on reception, he's
gone over on both, right? Reception's so safer, huh?
So I think, I think the reception, I feel like
receptions is safer too, yeah. All right, let's see if I can.
He's not going to be like a deep shot guy in the second-half of a
game. They have the lead, but he might
have a big short catch. This might be the.
No, I was just, I was just checking to see if we were
getting any all. Right.
Are they docked us? Yeah, the dock.
Is I was able to make the pick. Where they docked you a lot.
They they just introduced a new like correlation engine that it
makes it a less of. A Well, yeah, I mean, we did
Derek Carr with four pass catchers.
That's the other thing about doing these quickly.
That used to be a 20 times payout.
Now it's 12 times. I'll be honest, this is so
stressful. Trust me, I'm stressed out too,
Amanda. Is there any other Amanda do?
Y'all like call each other on like when y'all aren't on stream
and something happens, you're like, Oh my God, we did it like,
do y'all have like a. You know what I mean?
It's. A discord.
Well, I mean it kind of, yeah. Yeah.
I mean, in secret, Chad. Yeah, we're kind of always
talking for the last like three or four years.
I talked to Pat and Beat like as much as I talked to my wife.
Did y'all meet in real life or on the Internet?
Internet. On the Internet, on the.
Internet. Oh, that's sweet, Amanda.
No, that. No, I mean that.
Genuinely. I mean that.
Right. Now we need to focus on some
pickups. All right, sorry.
I just think it's adorable and cute that y'all are BFS is.
There anything else? We Hayson Hill's going to catch
a ball. Oh.
I love. I love that Hayson Hill catching
a ball. We got to, we got to put that
in. I love that.
That's beautiful. I think we, I think for the
vibes we got to do, DeMarcus. I would agree they getting us on
18 Gray that. Was interesting.
I mean, he's scorching right now.
AT Barry, they need to scorch that for me to want to take it.
Is he running? Routes.
I don't think he's playing. He's got to be.
He's better than Michael Thomas role, hasn't he?
But dude, he's. Doesn't draw volume like he's
not, he's not a big, I'm getting open kind of guy.
You guys want to just alpha play this just to No we got to get
one more in here we got. To get one more, get Kamara in
there again. Kamara's catching balls in the
second-half, right? You want to do you want to do a
little cheeky here, just the three legger with Taysom,
DeMarcus and Kamara. Yeah, I like it.
No correlation. Dock, we get 600.
Yeah, let's do it. That's a beauty.
There's a little 6X right there. I like ya.
What's the cup story? This still?
Has Kasem Hill done anything tonight?
Is he is he healthy? Amanda.
That's snowing ball. Yeah, he's definitely healthy.
We spoke earlier. Did he?
Has he touched the ball tonight? I.
Don't. Think so?
I don't know. I don't know.
Let me. Let me check.
Sleeper. Yeah.
Let me see what sleeper says. Check.
Sleeper. Hey.
Won't carry for three yards, OK. He's heating up.
Dude, just Saints fans. Do they love Taysom Hill because
he's another, like, polarizing character in the fantasy space?
We were a little frustrated with him, with the way that Sean
Payton just had like a vice grip on him, You know?
It was weird. Now it's not so bad.
I think we all like it now. We like anything that'll help
get a first down. Yeah.
But it was it was painful in the past, yeah.
We contract for Tayson. Yeah, I personally like him.
Yeah. I just think we didn't utilize
him in the right ways. Like, I think every time he
comes out, everyone's like, oh, he's going to do this.
You know what he's going to do. I feel like they never find the
happy medium between like not using them at all, or like we're
going to build the entire plane out of.
This, that's what I'm saying. They have to have a few plays
where he just takes the mouthpiece, lets it hang.
You know, nobody knows what's going to happen.
They always know it's going to happen.
I will say, though pleasantly surprised with Jimmy Graham.
I've had some that's been some fun feelings this year.
Jimmy Graham. Copper prizes in the splits
here. Kamara is five of six and going
over 21 1/2 receiving yards in the second-half when losing.
OH. That's that's good, because what
did y'all say, 25 or something? Yeah.
You guys want to do one more with Kamara here, now that we
know that it's a Gold Star lock? Now that we got that, let's do
it. Yeah.
All right, what do we want to build around Kamara?
I kind of want to do another one without car involved with
giving. I like it.
I like it, yeah. I.
Mean shaheed is. Is a talk of the town.
I mean, if we have Amanda on and Shaheed's, I'm.
Leaving soon, but I want everyone to think of me if he
scores again. Let's get a different Rams guy.
So we've done it, DeMarcus. We've done a cup.
He didn't. Do the Kyron like 6 yards?
He's not gonna. They're winning.
Oh. Yeah.
Fair.
Enough. His receiving stuff has actually
been pretty bad lately. Yeah, you.
Wanna just do puka? We haven't done a puka.
I mean 325 he's. Falling Get another We need
another catch for our our our full game core.
Anyway, like, it'll be a it'll be a 30 yard catch.
That'll be great. All right.
Here we go. Here's one more just 'cause we
had to jam in. That was beautiful copper prices
alpha. Pete, we got the shaheed.
We just, we tied in some some sweats.
We got the shaheed sweat over here on on Best Ball.
We got the puka sweat on our core and then we got Kamara.
I mean, I love it. It is a wonderful time of year
when all these sweats, you know, come together at once.
The chat is saying that we do have Kyron Williams up now for
rushing yards. They have it at 97 1/2 rushing
yards. He's currently at 47.
I mean, you're still talking about needing?
That seems pretty well priced. It seems very well priced.
It seems like they know what they're doing.
Great call. Yeah.
Because things have a good Rundy.
Yeah, yeah. They have a good Rundy.
Yeah, Well, it's that. Weird thing where I was showing
the the Reeb stat from the worksheet where they have one of
the better run DS like as far as run DODVOA but they've given up.
I think it was like the most like explosive plays to opposing
running backs like runs over 10 plus yards or something like
that. So it was basically like, could
Kyron hit a home run play? Yeah. 60% of the time we stop
it. Every time until we don't.
Amanda, what are your other with that with the Saints not in the.
49ers. 40. Niners, 49ers.
Yep. I think last year, if you
wouldn't have got hurt, I really, truly want to know how
far they would have gone. I really do.
Why you and me? You don't like it.
Why you? Well, it's just kind of chalky
cooter do if. I'm being honest.
Everyone thinks the Niners are going to win, but it's not that
adventurous. It's not the spirit of a Rashid.
I'm going to be a bandwagon fan. Why wouldn't I jump on the most
prolific bandwagon where it's defense, wide receiver, running,
all of it. I want to be on the right
bandwagon. I can't just be hip hopping
every week. I got to pick the right one.
Best Best skill position players in the NFL.
Best play caller in the NFL. Great defense.
I mean it's it's a pretty good bandwagon to be on move is I
think the move with it is to is to either pick an underdog AFC
team. Or.
You You pick the 49ers to lose in the Super Bowl to, like the
Ravens like a chalky. 49ers all the way.
I got. I got a smarter idea for you,
Amanda. You need to do some research.
You got to figure out. Go on LinkedIn.
Figure out. Who's the head of the gaming
division at the New York Times. What team do they root for?
Pick that one or go against. No, no, you start pandering to
them. Are they, are they a Jets fan?
All right. Zach Wilson is Daddy, You know
that. That's, you know, I'll be
honest, the person the my contact is New York Times.
I feel like I just, I just want to stress that I could say this,
the contracts at the New York what what do I what?
What? Oh, we caught that.
Oh, that's a catch. That is a catch.
I think we got to hear about this that.
Was a. Stick play, Puke and Akua just
made a really nice play is. This gonna make the JSN thing
all over again. No, that's a catch.
Let's catch. That's a catch.
I'll be honest, Sleeper's not telling me if they challenged
it. So you let me know.
I. Already ran another +5.
Prime now. It's just like I'm too into it.
I'm going to go downstairs and watch.
I'm going to after this. I'm going to watch it on the big
screen. I'll be fine.
It'll be fine. But yeah, what I was going to
say is my contact to the New York Times, His name is Alex,
and I don't know if he's not related to the Game Division,
but he knows the people of the Game Division.
I don't know who they are. That's where the the disconnect
is. I need to find out who he told
and who he forwarded it to. Is this a pre-existing
connection or like go to the? Woodwork because no, because of
the video connection. Love it, right?
I feel like there's hope. There's hope.
Anyways I. Like that?
Hi, guys. Look, I'm going to leave you
with this. If Shaheed scores, think of me.
If wordle start Shark think of me all right.
We will always be thinking. About my.
Legacy follower on Twitter at Cooter Doodle.
All of our great stuff over at Fantasy Life.
The weekly buy, Sell, hold column.
All of your favorite tweets, all of that good stuff.
Amanda, you've been terrific. Good luck tonight.
Good luck in your quest to get chart in the New York Times.
All right. Thank you.
Rashid Shi What's? Going on.
What a guest we we had tried to I.
Just got hurt, guys. Did he?
No. Fuck.
What happened? He went down and he, his helmet
got like ripped off. So I don't.
I don't know. Yeah.
That's a bummer. Do we have Karen in any of the
high stakes stuff? I have a bunch of them in my
baseball stuff. That sucks.
I don't. I don't did we have him in any
of our. I think you know what we had him
on the team with I think with with Gormanji and and Klay
right. That was that really good team
that we didn't that had Tyree kill and we couldn't sneak it
in. I want to say that was our only
Kyron share. Might have been.
Actually, I haven't. I like, can't remember can you
guys put ourselves like, I remember thinking about Kyron
through the lens of best ball mania, like at the end when, you
know it was pretty clear he was the two there.
But I don't remember talking about him a ton when we were
doing our high stakes drafts. Pat and I talked about him some
and I was firmly on he's not athletic enough to to be this
successful. Pat was willing to consider it.
We did some like comp stuff, the like Devonta frame and stuff we
were talking to a lot of. Remember all those?
Yeah, I I. That's one of my biggest misses
of the whole year. I I I gotta learn something from
that 'cause that was a like, I I think that athleticism, aiding,
fading athleticism has become a huge edge because it's one of
the things that, like Twitter's gotten its hands on Rastat.
Football's an awesome tool where you can check out athleticism,
profiles and I think it's made it kind of more widely
understood about how how athletic these guys are, which
matters. But like there's a threshold
below which I think I don't care anymore.
Like if a guy gets drafted and NFL team thinks he's good and
he's like the least athletic person whoever tested, I don't
give a shit like he's he's he's in a bucket of like athleticism
as it's going to hurt him but it's not 'cause if he was that
an athletic, he just the NFL teams will move on.
So I don't know we Kyron. I mean I'll say for myself with
Kyron I never thought this was possible.
I mean I thought he was. I thought he was a clear number
two behind Cam Akers and that had value.
That was my that was my take and that I was like basically like
athletics as a matter only. Jesus, Matthew.
What was that throw? Wow.
Davis Maddock just tweeted that Short King Summer has ended
because Dee Raw buried Tutu Atwell.
I just. Want you to listen?
No Davis capitulating on Short King Summer.
No, on December 1st is amazing. Flash forward to the weekend
and, like Greg Dort, will have a touchdown.
It'll be like short D summers back, bitches.
Yeah, yeah. All right, Kyron's back in.
We're good. That was quick.
Come on, Cup or who is that? Nikua.
All numbers look the same. But the Kyron thing is nuts
that, like they gave him, they were willing to ride him this
much. I mean, that's.
I don't know. Mcveigh's a maniac.
Yeah, I think that's the thing, right?
Where you just never know, like, where are they gonna fall?
Like on 'cause you do, you'll get a guy like Craig Reynolds,
right, Who like, will get a spot start.
But he's just so unathletic, so uninspiring, that he's gonna do
nothing with it. And I I was with Gretsch, too.
If, like, you look at Kyron Williams, you're like, yeah, I
could see him getting a start. I could see him getting 15
carries. But, like, what the fuck is he
gonna do with them? I.
Didn't even know if he would get that.
He carries. He was always back in.
He's already back in right cup. Go, buddy.
Nice. Yeah, looks like that little 11
yard game. There we go.
Karen will be really good in college and I think that that's
the part when I say like the fading athleticism, I don't mean
just like blindly, but like if a dude was really productive and a
team's into him and he's gonna get opportunity then and
everyone's like, you know, he's not athletic.
So I don't care. Like I care.
In the same way that like the only thing I know about a guy is
that he's athletic. I mean that's Pacheco, right?
Pacheco wasn't productive, he was the 7th round pick, but the
team cared about him and he was athletic.
So you you're like, all right, well that's I think it with
these some of these later shots, you just take the positive data
point and if the market doesn't care about it, you'd bet on it.
I will say, I mean someone said Karen's an anomaly in the chat.
I think to some degree yes, but to some degree a lot of these
players are anomalies were working with very small samples
and that's just the whole fucking point.
It is we're looking for anomalies.
It's eighteenth round. Yep.
I completely agree. I I've written it as we're
looking for outliers. We're totally looking for these
types of things. I do think to the anomaly point
that Sean Mcveigh's running back usage is a little bit on the
like anomaly scale though, like how heavily they use stuff in
the green stuff. And that's something we did talk
about and I still was like, but Kyron Williams isn't going to be
the guy that can handle it. Like it's just like that's too
much certainty. Then that's that's the mist, the
thing that I want to learn from this and like the mistake that I
think I made. Because, like my temptation
would be to be like, Oh well, Sean McVeigh loves using a Bell
Cal back, but when Kyron was out, he was splitting it down
the middle with Darrell Henderson and Freeman, right?
Like that was a trick. It's if a guy's good enough,
It's really what a good guy's good enough.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, McVeigh. And McVeigh will really lean
into it with a bell cow. But he also goes really heavy
with running back touches in the Green Zone, both rushes at a
high rate and like uses them in the pass game a little bit and
they'll catch them T DS occasionally.
Like his, all his running backs always score a lot of
touchdowns. What was Pat's?
Effort. I was watching Higbee break back
in on that route and I was like, give me the double scorcher.
And then the third thing about his system that's so fantastic
is the light box stuff. People have talked about it a
ton with Kyron this year. I remember writing about it with
Gurley. I've given this stat before.
Gurley's first, I think breakout year.
I think it was his first breakout year.
I don't know if I don't know exactly what year it is, but of
all the of the backs that had X amount of carries, it's like 200
carries and there was a decent number of backs, but not a ton.
It's like all the the high volume backs Gurley ran against
light boxes, like 75% of his carries.
None of them went over 50%. None of the other ones he had
like a full quarter of his carries higher, 25 percentage
points of his carries higher against light boxes even though
he was like the, you know, a top ten pick and like a superstar
running back. The whatever it is about the
McVeigh system, it gets defenses into light boxes.
It's still happening with Kyron and it's something that helps
our rushing efficiency a ton. It it's obviously like whether
you know Royce Freeman, Daryl Henderson, those guys are not
been as efficient as Kyron Williams.
Clearly, Kyron Williams is good and it's still succeeding in
this. It's a little bit like the Brock
Purdy conversation, right? Like he's adding something to
it, but it's also a good situation, right?
Yeah. And I I think it just stands out
so much in that right outside of CMC, known as a better role in
football right now from a running back perspective.
And it's so outsized. It would be like even one thing
if it's like he was doing the Chuba Hubbard thing where he's
like getting 20 carries but only like 2 targets a game.
But it's like, no, this is the CMC workload.
Yeah, it's so it's so fantastic. The, the boost of the rushing
efficiency, the TD equity, you know, the obviously the
potential, the high SNAP share, like all of these things are
just like all of it. Is there?
Like that's really fucking great.
Do you guys think they're gonna add where?
Where do you have him in dynasty?
Pat 'cause I I fear they're gonna add depth.
Like they came into the year thinking that Cam Akers was
gonna be a part of this backfield.
They're gonna add somebody, right?
Yeah, they'll add someone. I think, and this is generally
the type of running back that you don't wanna fall in love
with. In dynasty, Rotopat was offering
me, I think he was offering me Romandre in a second round pick
for him and I'm just like, oh. Wow, yeah.
But I said to him, I was like, I'm making a mistake by being
like the best friend back forever.
Like I've fallen in love with the type of guy.
Like one of the best trades I ever made was Phillip Lindsay.
After his rookie season, I traded him for a first round
pick. Yeah, you know, like Phillip, he
was nothing After that he, he looked great at that point.
He looked like super efficient. So I would I would say you want
to shop Kyron. You know the reason you said no
to that is from Andre and the 2nd is to not not elite like if
you can get a first yeah I'm just like I'm I'm like giving up
on it's that's almost like what I would have Kyra and I think
over the last few weeks to me his his efficiency has started
to look better than just early in the season.
It was like he's just scoring touchdowns and then he gets
hurt. They try out some other backs.
Royce, I thought I actually kind of looked OK and he comes back
and they're like, go away. They cut Henderson.
It's like we don't give a shit about anything that happened
when Kyron was gone. Kyron's the guy that, and then
he's been really efficient. That to me is like additional
positive information for if you're thinking about his role
next year. What's up, Steph?
Not much. How you guys doing?
I'm. Doing pretty good right now.
I'm glad that Kyron's back in, but I don't think we do have him
on any of our high stakes that are still.
In. We had him on this.
I just checked through my my spreadsheet.
Pete was right. Slowbros was the one that we
had. That was the only one.
And that team barely missed. It was a sick team.
I still think about that team because I I remember when we
drafted that one too. Like we got the Tyreek Kill
Pollard start and we're like, yeah.
Reese, Pollard and Kyron like that should have been.
Oh yeah, with Tyreek. You fucking pay me.
Yeah, let's let's not bury the lead here.
Ivan calling it out the the newest member of Legendary
upside. Yeah, Pat.
Pat was not going to let you enter free agency.
He was going to sign you right away.
Hey, I I I want to chose a pat anyway to see even if I did
enter free agency. There you go.
Well, congratulations. Let the people know what what
you're going to be doing in case they missed it.
Yeah. So I'm going to be heading over
to work with Pat on legendary upside.
I'm going to bring my waiver column with me and hopefully do
a few other things we were kind of discussing that might be in
the works. So got some good things coming
next year. Yeah, is.
It Are you guys going to launch a Dynamics Waiver Wire tool
where you input your team and then it spits out the the
optimal players? To Let's talk to Phil.
We we might. We might.
Want I am not. I'm not a computer engineer.
I'm not building any kind of tools.
Since you're prescribing doing waiver twice, but if there's a
way to help people with both. We'll do it.
Yeah, well that is awesome. We're very stoked for you.
Well deserved. You crushed it this year with
your waiver write ups. And also really appreciate you
recapping our teams for the people too, because you know, we
we've always like we draft these teams, we you know, people see
them and then you know, for better or worse sometimes we
forget to to showcase them or keep people updated.
So having you do those weekly updates was awesome.
And it's fun to stay involved, you know?
It kind of keeps the sweat going.
It keeps, you know, everybody you know, into what's going on.
And you know, and it's fun to kind of write up, you know,
think of little blurbs and fun things to say, which you know,
comes out to a lot of inside jokes that people that aren't in
our community might not always get.
But I ride the bits as much as we can, so.
There you go. Ride in the bits, put it on our
tombstone stuff. How how's, how's this week been
going? On the whole, I feel like we had
a pretty good week considering we had some deficits we were
trying to call out of, as in not having a quarterback on one of
our teams in FFPC this week. Well, I hate to break the news
that you're not going to have a quarterback on that team this
week either. Yeah.
And it's, I mean 30. Foster.
Somebody big but no wrong tight end.
All right. Yeah, Sorry.
Keep keep talking about our teams this week here.
Yeah, so I mean, that team unfortunately has no
quarterbacks, but maybe he could score 200 points again without a
quarterback and stay with it 'cause Stroud will be back
hopefully the next week. I mean, I don't see a three-week
concussion. The ship chasing Benny Sod's
team is thinking like 66th place, something like that.
It's it's another top 100 and that team look is looking really
strong. So those are great.
My team is in 150 something place, so it is in the mix.
If I had started Addison, Gretch was right after all last week.
Oh, that's funny 'cause I hope you had.
To touchdown on on Thursday night.
But then Addison had the big game.
That's right. Well, yeah, So Warren is who we,
or actually Devonta Smith is who we should.
But. Fair.
Come on, Kamara. Kamara, let's.
Get that? The Prime Times didn't do quite
as well this week. The boomers and our waiver
chasing we, you know, the boomers had Bijon and Breece I
think, and then we had Breece and Garrett Wilson and The Jets
just hit the bed and Arthur Smith screwed us over.
But. The Jet stuff is such a roller
coaster, like Week 14, like the Breeze and Garrett Wilson stuff
getting there and you're like, let's fucking go.
And then you just know, God, it can crater so quickly.
Oh, oh, that was a bad pass. That's a bad car.
They got us in, though. Let me.
Get a lot more Rams passing. Wow, we need some Cooper Cup.
Then you got shark shark jumping is in first place.
Yeah, so the team. Pull.
This one up that our high stakes team with Leone, the 2500 I
mean. We just had.
It's ridiculous. Almost the perfect outcome you
could have for a. Week.
You beat you. I I was doing my my cooking
class with my daughter that I was mentioning and I that I
mentioned on last week's show. I went to it in the morning on
Saturday morning before the Vikings game.
You flagged Ty Chandler or somebody and I kind of leaned
toward Kenneth Walker. The other guy, Kenneth Walker.
I kind of leaned toward Kenneth Walker and then I was checking
the scores like halfway through his cooking class and saw the Ty
Chandler scored an early touchdown.
And I go, I'm like oh man, I said the wrong name.
I'm sure they put Kenneth Walker and no one really replied.
I go back and look at the chat and like 5 minutes before it
locked. Pete was like, hey, are we going
with Ty Chandler? I'm just going to put Ty
Chandler in like it's if no one else responds last minute I'm
going to put Ty Chandler and and just nailed it.
We had Chandler, Gibbs, McCaffrey.
That's like the best 3 running backs you could have started
last week. To be fair, Walker, wait.
Wait, I I put. Yes, Steph I.
I put Chandler. And this is what happened.
He didn't do Ty. Jim, no, so.
The decision was Steph Flag that we had this decision before and
the. That's right.
I saw that later. We in the other channel, right?
She's like the. Big thing was we hadn't heard
from Leonie. And so the decision I made was
what are the projections? Leonie has Chandler higher in
the projections. That would have been his vote.
So I was like, let's just go with the projections.
Steph locked it in, but like, we would have been fine, right?
Like Walker, had a really good game on Monday night as well.
It was a it. Was like a four point difference
but and you guys are like 70 points ahead of 2nd place so it
wouldn't have mattered, but it's still nice to have picked the
right one. He came into the Sprint with the
lead and then outscored everyone and now have and.
It's like a 70 point lead you. Guys, average Qualum.
There was the lead coming in and then the points Right now is the
current. But #2 has a change of 24
points. He must have a couple players in
this game. Or at least maybe it's Puka.
It must be puka. Dude, Kyron runs so slow, but
his moves are fucking 15. Look at this Kyron run.
Yeah it's not. It's like a non wasted movement
guy, right? Like, yeah, he gets to him
between him, between the moves. He's just like opposite of.
Pacheco, Yeah, he's the opposite of Pacheco.
He's the opposite of Pacheco, yeah, and and it's perfect for
the light front stuff. Like he just gets to the space
quickly, like. Yeah.
It's he's such a good fit for this offense.
Like I I mean, there are some players who transcend offenses.
There are some that sometimes just fit really, really well and
and they look amazing. And I I would say Kyron's the
ladder, but it's still like it's cool.
Kyron is the ladder. He definitely is the ladder.
It's cool to see his skill set though or or a player's skill
set so perfectly spotlighted, right.
And they look awesome. Like that's fun.
Like that's that's cool. Yes.
Yeah. Is it Kyron or is it McVeigh?
Yeah, I think it's like a lot, McVeigh, for sure it's but it's
a lot, but. Yeah, and then, oh, little.
Kyron. But it's a little Kyron.
It's a little Kyron, Yeah. Is he in our prickums?
He's not I. I.
Taken so many, I lost track of who was in.
It I think we are still looking good for not taking the Kyron
stuff. He's still, I think, like 20
yards lower did. They give us a spicy on him or
not. No, no spicy on Kyron.
I think they didn't. I don't even know if they
offered a a touchdown on him. He's kind of like entered the
CMC territory where like some weeks they won't even give you
CMC score and ATD the. So I mean like our bigs, I mean
we got some sweats in our pick up.
I mean Stafford's only two away on completions.
He should get there the cup. One in the five leg is gonna be
a huge sweat, right? We need 23 more yards.
Like if we get 23 more yards, like we're hitting that 5.
Legger with the DeMarcus Spice. And 20. 3.
I mean, it's a lot, but it's cup.
Yeah. It feels like it shouldn't be,
but why are we sweating it so much?
Like, why is he dropping all his balls tonight?
We we need. We need a We need a Saints
touchdown. We need a quick Saints TV for
sure. That's the goal.
Yeah, yeah. So Tayson Hill can get his catch
in the end zone. There you go.
Yep. We could, Yeah.
I mean, this is where we need we need the Shaheed.
We need the Chimera. Yeah.
Somebody that we bet on. Take anything?
Yeah, any just Saints doing anything.
Not throwing back breaking picks would be a good place to start.
I know that there's a lot of a lot of pod discussion this this
past week, but I'm just, I'm going through to see where I
have Kyron. It is fun to see like I saw Rob
Coakley in one. I'm in one with sacrilegious.
It is kind of fun when you're getting in these semis pods to
be like, oh, I'm with these these people, I know, you know?
Yeah. Who are you starstruck by in
your pods? Pat?
I. Just, said Rob Coakley in
sacrilegious. I I tabbed through mine, I hope.
To follow anyone. Copper copper's in line.
What the fuck did you just describe?
Like everyone who sees your name in their bot is like, that's the
guy who won the fucking thing last year.
What are you talking about? You don't get to be that guy
anymore. It's fun.
Right now.
You're the fucking guy now. Like, there's no other.
Like, you can't be the other guy.
I think I can also be like, oh, that's cool.
No, I don't think you can. I don't think you can.
I had Herzig in one of my pods and I wonder now if Herzig's
like, oh, there's that super Shorty.
Girl, do you know what, Steph? I'll admit I used to mix up your
username with short Gamer TV. Who won the Millie?
Oh, I I would. She's.
Super Shorty and short gamer TV and they would always like, flip
in my head and I was like, wait, is that stuff or no?
I wish I won the Millie, but no. Unfortunately.
That was definitely not me. I I do have one Millie alive and
I have a 600 play action on DraftKings, which has apparently
a huge game stack. Pete.
I just checked our. I do have Kyron on that one.
Our own percentage is that you sent me and Rashiji, he's
somehow on three different teams in our pod.
I know. That blew my mind.
I was like, how does that happen?
Man, he's the same in that it's that same one that when I said I
have a stack, it's like, I don't see him in any other pod.
And then that one, he's 'cause you know, DraftKings, it shows
the ownership. It's like 25%.
I'm like, really? Like Gretch to blow people's
minds, we there's less people with Rashad White than there is
Rashid Shahid. In our pod, there's two shares
of Rashad. We have that three.
Total. Oh, dude, I didn't realize we
had Rashad White. I've been kind of shit.
We had the nut running back group, CMC James Cook, Rashad
White. It was gorgeous.
Beautiful. Cause like those 3 collectively
are on like 80% of teams, you know at least one of them, but
having those three together is is very sick.
Pretty unique. Yeah, that's great.
You guys advanced down. Let's.
Go a lava baby. Let's go quick.
I love this. We we we put.
A lava in one of those, right? Let me pull it up I.
Think we did it? Yeah, the 1st.
One we did 25 yard completion. Right there.
Not, not in the initial one stuff in the in the halftime
ones. I I took the halftime with you.
I was watching. I was trying to follow along.
OK, so he got 25. I was going to say I think we
need about 35. So we need about 10 more.
That's exactly about right. He got about almost all of it on
that catch there. Yeah.
Exactly what else was on that
Shaheed and Carr and Kamara. We need a lot of pass attempts
here. And we need just one more Cup
reception to get to 6. Why are we running up the
middle, Chimera? Up the middle?
Seriously. What are we, by the way?
We are two completions away from hitting the core.
So that's, that's nice. Yes, that's all we need 2
completions and we hit the core. Yeah, this seems like a good
time to to Google. Circulate the Google form again.
Typical thing here, just don't create more work for me.
I'm going to go remove duplicates.
So if you've already filled out this form, please don't fill it
out twice. But this is the form for the
drawing. All we need is your underdog
username as well as your YouTube username here.
And we will if we hit this. If Matthew Stafford gets two
more completions, we'll give a $300.00 giveaway here tonight.
What? Why is Keith Kirkwood catching
passes? I thought it was taysom for a
SEC. Not going to lie.
All right, dropping this in the chat.
Links in the chat if you want to be entered in the giveaway if
Matthew Stafford gets those completions.
I know, but Stafford's at like 25 points on our waiver chasing
team. That's nice.
Yeah, because we were debating risking it for Gino.
Yeah, I mean, this was. A good I I.
Agreed. Yeah.
There just was. I think it would have been a
really hard decision if Gino projected for like 3 more points
than Stafford. That would have made it very
hard. Another first and ten run.
What are we doing? Not trying to win.
Mine, and I mean this isn't like that fun, but it's still fun to
share 'cause we have some awesome sweats here.
But mine and Sean Stealing Bananas team is an 18th in the
main event right now. And.
Asked Puka. And that.
And that overthrown TV would like it would have jumped us.
God, that was frustrating. What's the name of that team?
It's called Unknown Unknown Delaware.
I I mean you can look for his owner name.
It's just Sean 81. It's in 20.
Unknown Unknown Delaware is a reference to the movie Sorry the
TV show Severance. All of our team names are are
named after the Severance TV show.
We have the break room. We have grim barbarity of
optics. What is that?
I I was late to that show but caught up like 6 months ago.
Is it? Have they started shooting the
new season? I know they.
Chose, the writers strike, the strike heard.
The they're. Two, you got to watch it.
It's fantastic. There's two.
What service? Apple TV, Apple TV.
That's why I don't. I don't have Apple.
That's why I haven't seen it. Well when the the next season
comes out you should sign up so you can watch both.
It's it's worth it. It really is it's probably my
favorite show I I was just messaging Sean about this though
recently Pete and we talked through it so the we where we
like both looked it up and talked through it a little bit
but they the writers strike set them back then the the two
showrunners got into an argument at one point like before the
writers strike which sort of set them back.
No, it's not. Still, it's the two.
So he's like the executive producer or something, but it's
like the two, like lead writers or showrunners or whatever.
Understood. Stiller has a ton of control on.
That does have a lot of control, but it wasn't Stiller, it was
two other guys as far as I remember.
And then that, I think, like, 'cause there was quotes, Stiller
was giving quotes. It's like that's it's not that
big of a deal. It's sorted out, but there was
like some internal stuff, but it just basically set them back as
well as the writer strike, setting them back.
So it's like the the first season was fantastic, the second
season's gonna come back like, you know, three years later it's
gonna be, yeah. Jesus.
Also, So what? Type of.
Show. Oh, like workplace sci-fi.
That's what I would call it. That's good.
That's a really good description.
Yeah, I have never been voiced. Well it's a confusing show to
watch. You're as you're watching.
You're like what the fuck am I watching?
But it's fun. It's look, I I would say what
I'm saying. It's not confusing in that you
don't you can't follow it. It's confusing in that you're
like, I need to know more. Yeah, yeah, I want to know more.
It's mysterious. It's fun.
It, it knows it. It knows you're having trouble
understanding and it's playing with that element.
I think it's the perfect show in that if you just want to engage
with it on face value, you can enjoy it.
And if you want to go down the rabbit hole of trying to think
ahead and draw connections. It's a little early.
West in that way, yeah. Yes, early season Westworld.
I never saw Westworld. I know.
Don't hurt. On Westworld the first I bailed
for a. While I bailed, Yeah, season.
Two like. Season one I love, and season 2
was like, it just was hard to follow and slow and like I I
think I watched like 2 episodes of season three and then I was
like, I was out. I love Marshawn Lynch, but when
he was in Westworld, I was like. This is a different show.
He was in Westworld. I didn't.
Even know what I. Didn't I thought you were
making. A joke?
Like him coming back to the Seahawks or something.
I was like, where is this going? He's in West.
He was actually speaking, and I was like, this feels like it
changed too much. Did you ever watch Brooklyn 99?
I remember we talked about this. No, I still haven't watched.
Brooklyn 9/9. You gotta watch.
Hey, I watched Barbarian. Remember that movie that Pete
recommended like a year ago? I don't remember.
That movie's awesome. That movie or Barry?
Awesome. OK, I gotta put that down.
Barbarian. Barbarian is a great movie.
I have seen Brooklyn 99. It's all right.
Oh no. No, it's fantastic.
It's elite. Top of the top notch the first
couple seasons. Are slow, I would say.
Jumped in and like jump in and like season three, season four.
And then if you want to go back to the early seasons, you can,
but like, it's not like something you need to like see
the early seasons. No, I have to watch things all
the way through. You got to binge it.
Completist. I'm a completist.
Oh, you, but you got to be willing to pull the hook on
shows that are. You got, you got to bounce.
A lot, yeah. No, I will stop watching a show.
If it's no good, I'll give it enough time.
I usually give things a season because I because I don't mind a
slow burn. Yeah.
You know are. Are any of you guys watching?
Are any of you guys watching The Curse Nathan Fielder Emma Stone
Show? I saw you write about that in
your newsletter, right? Yeah, I I'm, I'm obsessed with
it. It keeps getting better each
week. Yeah, that's what it was.
It was early going and I was like, I'll wait till it gets
further along before I get hooked because you sounded like
you're like waiting for the next show.
I don't like waiting. I was waiting for the shoe to
drop on it, 'cause I was like, this could be one of those
things where like I I didn't enjoy where the rehearsal ended
up and I was like, is Nathan Fielder gonna get bored and go
super weird? And all this stuff?
And the show actually got more focused up into where it's at
and I am fucking dialed in. It is really good actually.
I'm gonna watch it. I'm gonna wait till it oh, the
way that you it dialed in. When I get like that on shows, I
want to be able to watch the whole season and just binge it
through. So I I just started beef, 'cause
I saw that it got grimy. Oh, that show's awesome.
I'm like, I'm, I'm like no, I. Heard.
That Not the bear. Not the bear.
The bear, Not the bear. Oh.
Beef, Beef. On Netflix I I didn't think
that, oh, I'm OK the. First two episodes of that I got
to come back to beef. Should I finish that?
I'm like getting to the last couple of spots but I've pretty
much been like I've watched this it helps you Pete beef is an
offseason show I think you you you want don't sacrifice in
season time on the on beef do sacrifice it on the bear this
season of Fargo White Lancer put in that's that's a this season
of Fargo is awesome. I've heard it's really good.
Yeah, I haven't. Got OK I.
Apparently need to start watching more TV because yeah.
You. Do I mean well during the
season? I never have time.
But I've watched some. I've watched all the shows like
that were like the cool shows, but I guess not.
I think I have the wrong. I only have like Netflix and Max
and. Yeah.
I mean Max has got some, I mean like.
I was. Catching up on a lot of those.
Well, OK, so I started succession and I can't really
get into it. I'm trying.
That's one that like I watched half of the first season but it
kind of got slow on me. So it but should I really try to
push through? I What does it pick up a little
bit? I remember people having trouble
getting in to succession, like through three or four episodes,
but like, I think. That's about where.
It's at 7. I I would push through for two
to three more. I it is.
It is so worth it. It's a phenomenal show.
To me, the the thing that made Succession Click for me was it's
a comedy. Now is it a comedy?
Ultimately, that's up for debate.
But to get into it, treating it like it's a comedy, I think
really helps you get over the hump.
You're you're hate watching on some dirt.
My my wife couldn't watch it. She's like, none of these are
redeeming characters and I hate all of them.
And I don't like watching shows where everyone makes me sad.
And I was like, you know what? I totally understand that.
Apparently I do like watching shows where everyone makes me
sad, 'cause it's. Yeah, I don't care if I hate the
characters. I mean, as long as it's
compelling. And yeah, there could be a dark
comedy and there could be a dark comedy element.
But I also know a lot of people like that in real life.
Like, I've been around a lot of like, really.
If you know like legit business people.
That like take themselves. Away mysteriously.
Then you're gonna like the show, yes?
Yeah, I went to private school stuff.
I've been around like a bunch of rich stuck up crazy people my
whole life, so. Yeah, once.
Once. You're like, oh, I don't have to
like Kendall. Then I think you're you're kind
of in in the show. That's a that's sort of the turn
where you're like Kendall is the comedy.
I mean you can laugh this guy, he's a fucking joke then.
Then it's a good show. I'll go back and what, 'cause?
I mean, it's been a little while, but yeah, I think I only
watched like maybe 3 three episodes, so I'll give it a
little more. I I did not I did not like it in
the well I remember in the pilot they they always kept this
throughout the entire series where they would zoom in kind of
quickly on people feel like this reaction would like kind of pop
into people but they they it was a little heavy-handed in the
pilot and I was like what are they what is this.
And then I was also like this main character they're trying to
sell me is a fucking clown which they know they know as well but
it take it took a minute to kind of they all suck.
Who's your favorite of the three siblings who would you.
I mean, ultimately it is Kendall.
Kendall's the one who I I dislike the least of.
I think it's like the. Most entertaining is Roman by
far. Wow.
We have three different answers if we Roman, I think, is the
most, oh, he's the most entertaining.
Yeah. Oh, yeah, Yeah, Yeah, yeah,
yeah. Yeah, I actually remember Roman.
I meant like the most like redeeming.
I I I guess like the one that you like the most.
That's like the crux of the show is that they they.
Aren't like you? But none of them are actually
redeeming whatsoever. I think Shiv is like halfway.
Yeah, I don't know. So here's the thing with Roman.
Yeah, he's the most, he's the most fun on screen.
But who would you Would you want to hang out with Roman?
No. God no.
So for sure who you would rather hang out with, Shiv or Kendall?
I would rather hang out with Kendall.
I know what Kendall's bringing to the table.
No, you would. He's going to, he's going to go
order like too many drinks. He's going to like.
It's going to be cringy. I don't want to hang out with
any of them. You're making hang out with one
of three, Yeah, Roman. He's the only one that would
actually be a fun hang. That's.
My I don't think Roman would. Roman would be too much of A
wild card dude. I think he would be like Roman
would be a Dick to everybody. He's a terrible hang and I would
be a terrible hang. He's the best hang of these
three. I think I could.
Deal with Shiv. Just being Shiv and hang with
her. That's that's the that I'm more
open to because I Roman's got like some real personal hang ups
like he can't he can't chill the fuck out.
It's. Insane.
Yeah, we're gonna have. A great time.
We don't need it. He's like, I'm down for
everything, man. Yeah, cousin Greg's the correct
answer. Cousin Greg's the correct
answer. Yeah, all right, let's.
But he's not. He doesn't.
He wasn't on the table. I did watch The Last of Us.
The Last of Us go on. Wow.
That's a kuka. The kua is just beasting.
Whoa. That put us over the
completions, I think. Yes.
The Where's Cup? Did he get anything while we
were not paying attention? Huge games for Unknown, Unknown
Delaware, you guys. He'd love to see it.
Yeah. I'm pretty stoked It's a Trey
McBride, James Cook, not a Christian McCaffrey team.
I bet a lot of the top teams are McCaffrey.
We hit the core. We hit the core.
We did it.
Boom. Congratulations people.
What do we need for a cup for the The Scorcher with D Rob?
Can we look at the D Rob? Oh.
That guy. Pat, do you want us to share
your screen, since that one's on.
Yeah. It's it's just like 20 cup
yards, right? Is it 20?
You people looking at where they are on the field when they drive
And I'm like, so here's the core, core hit, that's it.
Let's go, we got. 400 entry Let's go.
We need this 25 yards. 25 cup yards.
There, that's a that's a leak to cut up.
Well, that's Pi. He shoved him before the ball
got there. What the fuck?
Dude. Come on.
This is such a sick spot because we need, we fucking need some
Saints points. Yeah it's gross that cup with
the we got the Scorcher and all we need is cup.
Yeah, I also threw this, but we threw.
Did you threw this in the Discord beat the one with.
Kyron. Oh, the the Kyron one.
I I might have forgotten the. He only has 29 total yards.
Jesus, It seems like he's done a lot.
More. No, you gotta refresh.
He has way more than that. OK.
Oh yeah, He has 90 rushing yards.
Yeah, it was like, there's no way it's.
Like that fucking seems weird. I've been watching this whole
game. No, it's it's still showing us
29. I don't know.
It doesn't matter. It was for Happy Yard.
It was the promo deal. Yeah, he's got 90.
That's weird. I.
Didn't get. The damn right on the Camara
under and that rival's Pat. You nailed that as well.
That was cause Camaro only has 19 rushing yards like that's
been. That's been money.
Yeah. It was a little scary because
they might have just been stubborn, but the well and it's
the script's been great for it. The last four games he had gone
over that. But like he this was a good spot
to I I mean I was with you on the Rams winning and I took that
at stealing lines. They're gonna cover the -4 for
us here. Man, this.
Is brutal. Get a little.
I did not envision Cup being the one that we're sweating.
I know, All right. I'm going to get this giveaway
going here. Might as well.
Right. Do any of you have get any cup
teams through? I have them on my team with
Sean, only team in our pod with Cooper Cup, but not a great
start. Damn.
I don't think I got any through. I have a super flex that has.
I can't remember if I got them through or not.
I didn't get to sun run my BBMS like you guys did, even though
my advanced freak was really good.
There he is. There's a cup.
God, man, does cup have like 16 targets tonight?
So wait, so we have 3 receptions on the halftime one.
Do you want to pull that up 'cause that that's his second, I
think. Yeah, let me pull that up.
I was gonna get the. How was this third that wasn't
third? I think it was 3 and was it 3
1/2? That just got him to six.
We were 5. 1/2 was the number 5. And 1/2 was it.
Did that not get him to six the time I'm seeing shows?
Yeah, that got him to six. Yeah, that got him to six.
Nice. OK.
Yeah, absolutely. So we need, we need anyway.
We need a lot from the Saints. They're gonna throw.
I mean, there's 13 minutes left they could get, if they get 100
passing yards, like. So Kamara looks like a lot, but
it's 20 or so, 'cause he's only at 3:00, that's why he's at the
bottom of that. Running him up the middle.
We need, we need Kumar to get about 20, Shahid to get about
20, Alava to get about 10 and Car to get 100.
So it's got to go to those guys. That's a tough needle to thread,
but it's not impossible. Not impossible, we just need
like an actual drive to be sustained.
Right. All right.
I'm going to get this giveaway kick cooking here.
No, Samuel, you're right. Like, will Derek Carr get a
single first down? It's a fair question.
It's a fair, fair question. I'm gonna grab.
We didn't take Derek Carr first down.
We did not. Oh, I forgot to talk about we
have our single bullet teams in 7th.
Is it nice? Yeah.
Who's on that one again playing tonight?
Who's on the single bullet? Do I have anybody?
Yeah, hold on. I'm pulling it up.

So yeah, I'll pull this one up
from the second-half. Sweats, yeah.
So Cup's good, Olava's good. Shaheed still needs his, you
know 19 Camaro needs. Is there an election she just
went? To 70.
There it goes. Yep.
Is that Jamal? Jamal Williams?
He went over did. We put it.
But I. Was like to.
Yell at no. No, I was yelling.
I was like, do not do that sweat.
Yeah, on the chat I'm like that. That just sounded brutal.
I sucked it horrible. We need how much more cup for
the for the spicy pepper one, yeah, the 45 one.
It's 8. The one.
Above the yards. Oh, oh, it's the same thing.
Yeah, so the main ones are on Pat's account.
I was 'cause I was having trouble getting these in.
You gotta get an iPhone, Pete. I didn't have any problem on the
iPhone. Or.
He's got like 19 phones. Yes, you do have an iPhone.
I do, but I don't use it. I also got a new Google Pixel
phone recently. That's my my new phone, the book
phone. Man.
It had a good run. Wait, why do you have 19 phones?
Because I'm an influencer within a former.
Life our guy Clay used. To having a second phone's a red
flag, but having some. Other phones.
Like what are you what are you up to?
The taysom help this. Puka Michael Clayton is a deep
cut. I don't think he is.
Yeah, the Taysom help. Maybe if it was like a rushing
it would have made more sense, but has he done anything
tonight? Taysam, I think Hooter girl said
He had a carry on sleeper. That's the only sighting we've
seen. I.
Don't think I don't. I don't think she.
I don't think she knew. She didn't tell her confidence.
No. So you ran on an early third and
one for a couple yards. He did.
Yeah, like I said, he ran. Yeah, did.
He was out last week, right? Yeah.
Come on. There we go.
Juwan. Damn.
Oh. Now do you want?
We. We.
Just have to get one up here. Yeah.
Man I I mean the the main we we just got we have to get Pat did
was the number you had for your cup 68 1/2 on the spicy one let.
Me check. Where he's at 52 right now.
I'm just making sure you have the same number I'm seeing on
mine. It might have been 70 for me
'cause that was one of the first ones I put in and this number.
Dropped. I know there was one that kept
that dropped, but I remember what like of the early ones that
but I don't remember whose it was it.
Dropped run the ball car. So on the DeMarcus Spicy it's 70
1/2 all. Right.
So we need 20 more yards. Yeah. 19.
Yeah, that feels like a lot right now.
Do. Do the Saints know they're
losing? They're not.
This reminds me of the Bucks, that one game where they just
like, as long as we score here, we win.
It's like you're. Down.
Yeah. Why all the clocks stop when he
runs out of bounds? I think there's something about
when it's. I don't know.
I actually don't know Shiki Drag Wrap.
There we go. There we go.
Oh, that's Kamara. That's OK.
We still need Kamara, right? Yeah.
Are we over the Kamara?
Now, no, it's going to put him up to like 18.
We need 25. OK.
Yeah, what is this? This huddling is absurd.
It's this is a white flag drive. They're down 23.
They're like, we we can't actually get there.
Yeah, let's just let's just not be embarrassed.
Let's score. It doesn't matter how much time,
but it's embarrassing. Like it is embarrassing.
It's deeply. Embarrassing.
That's what I want at this point.
She. He'd.
She all. Right.
We'll take it. Oh.
We needed that touchdown She. Wanted.
To was in good. So what has her four got but?
Fair enough. Wow, I have Juwan Johnson on one
of my BBM teams. Where's the Juwan Jennings?
I think that's my playoff baseball brain all.
Right. So I mean.
How many? How many?
How many passing? Plays do we get are are we in
like we need broken play territory for cup here we could
we get 2 passing plays. It's there's 6 minutes left.
I I think we could get 2 passing plays.
Stafford's warming up on the sideline.
He expects to throw. It's a little bit.
Tricky but. I think.
He I mean. The Rams really need to win this
game. So, you know, they they they
want to make sure. I think specifically you're
looking for the wide receiver. Quick hits, some good walking,
and a couple 10 yard gains. Extension of the run game.
Yep. So how much do the Rams odds go
up if they win this to be in the playoffs?
Are we going to start drafting them for a playoff best ball?
I think quite a bit and I think, yeah.
Yeah. They go at the Giants next week
and then they go at San Fran. But this is a big one.
Everyone in San Francisco hates When I say San Fran.
I've always said San Fran, but apparently people from San
Francisco, they don't call it San Fran.
Yeah, I get a lot of shit for that, but what do they call it?
Just San Francisco. San Francisco or SF is what?
SF? OK, Yeah.
Which is like, fuck off. It's like you're not Lai agree,
San Fran sounds better. SF.
SF does not sound good. I never really thought about the
other, but SF, no. Something just ring weird
though, you know? It's like, so I think entering
this game, the Rams had a 48% chance of making the.
Playoffs. I'm not sure what their chances
are after, but Saints were 39% so.
Well, the Saints still had a chance to win the division.
To win the division, yeah, although the Bucks are 78%
chance to make to make it so some of the Saints roughly 40%
like some of it goes to the wild card I would assume, I don't
know, maybe the Bucks wild card chances.
Pat Plug, the legendary upside tool that just dropped if people
missed it. Yeah.
So we have a it's kind of a draft companion tool that it's
like a shiny app that Phil Manor built for the sites with the
help from sacrilegious G, Karl Dvorczyk, Daniel Razz and
myself. And we put together this app
that's designed so that you put in your picks as you go, and
it'll essentially just shuffle the legendary upside rankings
based on the playoff scenario that you're implicitly building
with those picks. Because when you're drafting
these playoff basketball teams on underdog, you need to be
drafting A-Team that's sort of coherently putting together like
a Super Bowl match up, but also the conference championship
match ups that are gonna advance your teams through each round of
the playoffs and then get to the Super Bowl with at least Five
Live players. And the tool really helps you do
that. It helps suggest it does some
like things that are little counterintuitive at first like
if you draft a couple like let's say you draft IUK and or let's
say CD Lamb and IUK in the second round.
You know it it it likes like Lamar Jackson if he's back and
you're like what? And you're like, oh, I can build
out the Ravens and I've got two outs to bring back in my Super
Bowl stuff like that where you might be kind of thinking about
one path. But the I think the tool helps
you consider other paths like obviously Kittle's high, Purdy's
high, right. But Mahomes is sitting third
here which maybe wouldn't be top of mind.
And so it just helps keep you on on the rails and helps you kind
of build out some scenarios beyond maybe your third your
first thought that makes perfect sense because that would be the
first thing you'd think with if you do Lei Mahika, I got to
build out one of these stacks and but like the way to play it
is then probably through building out an AFC team.
Like, I mean that makes perfect sense.
So good. Well, it's the, you know, the
classic thing that we're all trying to weigh in any fantasy
format, right is like, how much does the correlation boost
worth, right? And if you do like a typical
basketball league and you're like, should I stack this player
with the quarterback or should I draft this other player who
projects better, yadda yadda? Well, the team level correlation
is so fucking important for playoff basketball that these
ranks account for that and will flip those guys in the ranks.
It's not going to flip Justin Watson over a Monroe Saint
Brown, but it is going to flip him over Williams.
You know, like it's going and. It really likes Justin Watson,
Pete. It really likes Justin Hectic
and Flip. Him over a Monroe, that's not.
Actually going to Lord. I think it might.
Trust me it well I I've done a bit.
A bunch of. This with this.
But the the point is, is it? It bakes in how important that
correlation boost is, and I do really think that is the biggest
feature of it is it makes sure that you don't get tempted by
ADP fallers that have no place on your team, 'cause I I know
for a fact this was my mistake last year.
I was like building logical teams, but I was taking too many
like, oh man, this guy's such a sick faller.
What if he just helps me advance?
You know what, if he just helps me advance and I wasn't building
enough teams that could actually get first place.
And the field is not doing that. Like if you draft in these,
you're seeing the field. It takes a couple years to
really learn the the, the types of rules.
Like Pete's saying like, you already knew this shit and you
still know for a fact that you did it wrong and then the next
year you go further into it. It's like when we all first
learned zero RB. Like we had to, we had to like
really commit to it after a couple years.
Yeah, I also think that in Bestball, I think one of the
biggest edges right now in all these contests is that people
cannot help them help themselves.
We think chronologically. First I have to get through the
Wild card round, then I have to get through the divisional
round. And what you actually want to
think about, I think in this contest is it's a 400 person
final. You have to finish first out of
400 the first round, you have to finish second out of six to get
through. Those are just completely
different objectives. And you want to flip over.
You want to flip over a team in that final round that is not
just live, but like very strong and this tool's going to help
you. It's not like you're sacrificing
your your advanced rates entirely, but it's just how do
you build teams that if you flipped one over and that that
last round you'd be like, oh fuck yeah, this thing, this
thing can take this whole thing down.
That's that's how you want to build because it's a top heavy
payout structure like all these tournaments.
So you you really want to be building to be live for first?
Man. That was a mistake I made.
I didn't take enough players from one team.
Like sometimes I stopped and I had too many, like just two from
another. You know too many teams in
general in there. Not necessarily a bunch of 1
offs, but just you. Know this is the down here it's
third. It is 1/3 in like 17 with a
hold. There's a shot that if like if
Cup is running a a vertical enough route and just wins that
he catches a 20 yard pass right here, 'cause they'll Stafford
will cut it loose. If he's open, they'll probably
go underneath, they'll probably cut the ball, but Cup could just
win the route and and get there for 20 yards.
I'm worried this is like, because it's such a long third
down that this is just a screen passer checked on to Kyron or
yeah, something like that, yeah. That's probably the case, but
this is the one where you have the shot at a 20 yard pass play.
It is. This is, yeah, this is our
chance. They're in shotgun.
OK. Where's cup?
Slot up top, Slot up top. Yeah, he can win on the middle
and hand it off all. Right.
We're gonna get a car drive, right?
Woof. That's bummer.
Yeah 'cause you're not gonna get any passes on the next drive
either. Car's gonna be so slow they're
gonna TD two point conversion. Even if they get that They have
no timeouts, They're not gonna recover the onside kick and the
Saint. The Rams are gonna have to just
burn like, I don't know, a minute and 1/2 at that point.
Man, the Scorcher was so fun. We got the fucking D, Rob
Scorcher. I know.
I don't even know. Like, we didn't.
I'm trying to think we didn't even really have many other
options. We were debating for putting in
the five leg. What was the the payout with the
Scorcher? What do we stand at?
Oh my God, that's beautiful. That's really good.
They could score way quicker. That's huge.
Short field, yeah. They could score.
Quickly now and we need that. We need the Rams to get the ball
back with pressure on them, a teddy and a two point conversion
before the two-minute warning we need.
The two point Yeah, Put. The pressure on.
They blocked it, man. Did your hands together block
that backwards score TD on that play?
You know, like he just deflected it.
You got to block that. Most blocks, they block it back
toward their own end line. You know, they they get their
we. Wait, we got Jimbo in the chat?
Who won 300 on the wheel spin? Let's go, Jimbo.
Nice. Congratulations.
It's always better when we can put a face to a username and
have you watching the show tonight.
I actually just sent your username info over to Andrew at
underdog. They're normally pretty quick on
that. Should see that in your account,
I would imagine in the next day or two.
Congratulations, Jimbo. That's awesome.
I don't. That's the first time that we've
had someone watching while they want.
Yeah. That's that's great.
We, yeah, we've given, I mean what I think we've now we'll
have to go back and look if we hit the core, it's at least four
times. Trip us here every Thursday.
We will have each. Also, Jimbo, what are you going
to do with your underdog credits?
Are you Are you putting this under the the pillow for Best
Ball Mania next year? Under the mattress?
Are you firing at playoff Best ball?
Where are these funds going? Pick em.
Are you giving? Are you taking Tyler's handy for
the $300.00 that he's that he's offering of the jet?
I mean that's above market value.
I got one for. 100. I think how Tyler has to call
them bones too. I mean it's just it's just call
them boss dollars enough. Any of you guys have a take on
this one here from Ryan? We got Jonathan Taylor back to a
full practice today. Thoughts on him coming back from
injury? Well, Moss is banged up.
Yeah, yeah, I think he's gonna have the backfield to himself if
he's active. The thing I mean the the beats
we're. Talking about.
He didn't have like a big wrap on his thumb at practice.
We're still days away from the game.
I'm not worried about the the past game volume or anything.
It seems like I I think J2 is gonna get a pretty decent
workload. I I I'd be content looking at
him like he's healthy, basically.
Yeah. Me too.
Yeah. I'm a hyper fragile team with JT
on it that advanced. I forgot who my I'm trying to
remember who my other two running backs were, but it was
one of the only actual, like, real high.
Like I took three running backs that draft.
That's. Awesome.
Think I want to say CMC but. I don't.
Remember. We'll take.
Those point 5.4 points. Yeah, we hit.
We're are. We live for the five legs.
Cup in all of I'll pull it up. Cup in all of ours.
And is he killing all of them or just the 15 legger?
Just the one. I mean, we have him in this one.
This is the five legger we're talking about, where we
onslaughted. So we need.
Kamara. 9 yards in Shaheed 15. No, I took all of them.
I'm with you guys. Oh, Oh my God, Stacey Perry.
Perry. I do have him on a team AT.
Perry. I.
Have AT Perry on one of the teams.
I don't know which team. I think it might be on a DK Team
Hell. Yeah.
But I remember seeing him because I was like, no, I I have
like, no, all of. But I have an AT Perry.
That's funny. Wow.
Damn. All right, we.
Need this too, guys. We need it.
Come on. Got it.
Let's go. Let's.
Go. I don't.
Know the vibes are feeling pretty good.
We're live, yeah. We need the We need the Rams to
feel like, let's put these guys away.
Let's just get this over with. Let's get a couple first downs,
man. I'm messaging with Cooter Doodle
about my New Orleans trip right now.
Sorry, I'm. I'm planning out some.
Shit. Planning out some shit.
Where do you guys stand? You got like an Airbnb.
We're at an Airbnb on like the other side of the stadium.
From where Bourbon Street is like, the stadium's not that far
from Bourbon Street and everything.
It's all like in the same area like French Quarter, I guess.
Did you make sure you're staying in a?
Like there's some really dangerous places.
Yeah, we've been hearing that. I think we're.
I accidentally, yeah, booked somewhere that people told me,
like literally don't drive to or you will get murdered And we had
to, like, change our plans. Did the Did the Saints need to
onside that Christus? Goes well, hopefully, yeah.
I'm. Like hopefully you talk to
someone that like knows well. So the guy who picked it out is
actually from Atlanta? And oh.
Is is from the South and I think he was talking about there's
some some sketchy errors in NOLA and anyway so I think I think
we're OK, but I'm not 100% sure about that.
Well, you might want to ask a couple of locals when you get
there before you go to your hotel guys or Airbnb.
I I'm, I I want OT. Let's get a three and out.
Oh Pete, oh man, OT would be big OT.
Would be spicy, it would be spicy, it would.
Be spicy. Oh.
Play. Action end zone to cup what's so
we get what do we get if oh so this is this one what's the
what's the one with the where we just need cup that's the one
where we're one play away I want to know the one where.
We're, yeah, we need, yeah, we need the, I think.
Well, why does it say up to 45? Oh, 70 1/2 per cup is what we
mean. This is I.
Yeah, what's? The payout on that we did 50
let. Me pull it up.
Fuck Nakua's just. It's all nakua.
Why is Pooka such a? Beast.
They don't even have well, so I don't actually know what the
payout is because underdog's saying it's 2250, but they're
doing the dock stuff. But then they didn't I.
Mean they docked it from the beginning, though.
They're not gonna actually. Give me 2250 if it goes through,
but I don't know what it will be.
I did not know about the docks. I was very confused.
Man, that tackle. Come on.
That first down hurts. It does, man.
I just the puka alpha game. Fuck.
I mean at this point it's like want one, like garbage time play
for the Saints. But I don't even know what that
get. I mean we need 2 essentially
all. Right.
I need another drink. I'll be right back.
Go for it. Man, one of my one of my teams
that's live in BBM somehow is a as a Derek card double with
Olave and Juan Johnson. Definitely.
Like mad at this result. No, this is pretty amazing.
Yeah, for, for those guys, I will take it.
I mean, Titan's been really high scoring for the last.
Few weeks but. It's not a guarantee to keep
doing that. So they get that joint that.
Well, and the other thing that's really nice with Carr is it's a
three QB team with Bryce Young and Sam Howell and it's like
Howell's matchup is brutal. Bryce Young sucks.
Like to get 20 points from Carr. It's almost like I'll fucking
take that. Yeah, 100%.
Do you know who I oddly have? I think I'm like three of my
five teams. Samajay P Rein.
It's like a really random dude. Because what happened is I think
he's on my CMC teams and I think I did a lot of those.
Like modified, like hyper fragile, like, you know, teams
where it's like I have CMC James Cook's Maje P Rein, like one
other guy, like those kind of builds and like P Rein.
You know, the way this season panned out is obviously not how
we were drafting him. Like if we knew how this season
panned out he would have been like a 15th round pick.
But we thought he had like early stand alone value and then like
late season contingent and instead it's just been like bad
side of a timeshare. Yeah, I I have a decent amount
of him with with Breece, but I don't think I got much of him
through you. Know what I mean?
Breece is. Oh, you were using him as like a
pair with Breece? To like, yeah, because of that
that early season thing, I was like you know I got to get
Breece through the early weeks. So who do I do that with?
So I have, I have Breece a little bit with Jamal Williams,
a little bit with more with P Ryan though And I would usually
take, I think honestly I got some Breece through partially
because I I would take like that that Kyron pick or the Ty
Chandler that I have was more likely to be with Breece because
I was like taking one extra running back a lot of times with
him so. I still need Breece.
Yeah. And we need 18.
Cups, 18 yards, 18 cups, two guys, 1 cup, 18 cups.
Man, we what we need is like an act of God.
That's a that's a fumble or a turnover here.
Well, third down, there's a possibility they throw at a cup.
I don't think it's going to get 18 yards, so.
They're, they're running. I mean, they just ran on, what,
third and 17? We need a sane touchdown on them
to go to overtime. Yeah, I mean, but they're
they're you. Think they're running and
kicking a field goal? Yeah.
Then you need a missed field goal.
That's possible. I mean that I.
Feel like if you complete the pass you get.
The Game over. But the game's over.
Right. And I I think, I think they're
gonna cowardly run it here. Yep.
Oh, he just did something with his helmet, he said.
Hump in motion, did they? Who?
They jumped off stop.
They jumped false start. Oh no, they went.
They're calling it off sides. On who he was.
The guy running in was pointing to the defense.
Come on now. They're definitely running the
ball. We're fucked.
I mean, that was obviously a false start.
Cam Jordan, come on, man. Come on, the team.
Winning the Millie right now in the DK Showdown is a DeMarcus
Robinson captain team. I actually have a team in 36th
place right now. It's kind of duped.
It might be able to get first with a field goal.
Really nice. Yeah, I mean, it would.
It would still. Be duped like.
I'm duped like 25 times, but it would still be a pretty nice
payday. I mean, I have a that's talks
because that that penalty was like really bad for the field
goal. I know, Oh.
Oh this. The game is over now.
The penalty restarted. It didn't stop the clock.
They got extra down. It's more or less over they they
just need a two second kneel down now because of that
penalty. That penalty the clock.
Is it a fourth down? They got to run 40 seconds
before that penalty and then another 40 seconds after it.
That's a dumb rule. That's a dumb rule.
They never ran a fucking down and ran a minute and 20 seconds
off. That's a stupid rule.
It's very dumb. Wait, so unmistakenly did
insurance on the five pick One Cup?
But does that mean you get paid? Yes.
Does the accidental insurance mean you get paid?
That's that's that's how insurance works.
All right, dude. Congrats, accidental insurance.
You love to see it. God damn it, I'm sweating that
shit out. That's that's stupid.
They're just going to hand it off and then the game's over.
It doesn't even matter if they get the first.
Oh yeah, he just did a kneel. That's the game.
He got $25 back. Who got $25 back?
What's this about? He accidentally did insurance.
The one? The one with the Scorcher.
Yeah. So he won $25?
Yeah, he insured the bet. God damn it.
Wait, how does it only give you $25 back 'cause it 'cause it was
a four leg. You don't lose your money.
I guess. I've never done it.
I think it's. But it was a score.
You should have got some profit off of it, right?
That's what I would have thought.
But I don't know. I guess not.
Well, at least we hit the. Core.
Here. Yeah.
Steph, Steph coming back right for the the outdoor.
Finally. Yeah, what a limp Dick finish
that was. I missed it.
What happened? Some bullshit clock rule that
allowed them to bleed the clock down, man.
One of those games where you know if we just had one more
quarter, we went all of our pick.
Up. I don't even get to open my beer
after I was trying to mess with my Bluetooth.
Steph. I thought to be up like early.
I still have a little tequila too, girl.
Why'd you? Get Steph is really bouncing
back and forth here. Is he going to be up early?
He's about to crack. I'm going to be up early, but I
could do something. Tequila.
Hand open my beer. I'm mad that I can't.
I was. Going to, I was going to switch
from the tequila because I didn't have much left and I was
like, I don't want to drink another one of these.
So I was like, I'll grab a beer. Yeah, that.
That was the plan. Let's power this down so Pat can
record the walkthrough so Gretch can finish his Is that a Peroni?
That's exactly what it is. I ripped the label off 'cause I
do that. But here's the other one.
Oh, I can spot a. Peroni from a mile away.
Brother Steph, let the people know what do they need to check
out? Fabulous newsletter recap of our
high stakes teams. Anything.
Else, Yeah. Well and then I think you should
check out Legendary Upside where I will be heading over and I
don't know if you noticed the title.
I also kind of put a little teaser in this week.
I said we're getting a leg up on the competition.
I saw what you did there. It took me.
I I stared at. I was like what does this?
Mean. Cryptic.
Ah, she got me. I gratch.
Anything on your end? Any alpha from Cooter Doodle on
how to survive the dangerous streets of New Orleans?
I mean, it was legit that it was like, careful.
See, I'm not. I was alone.
Here's the term. I'm being a mom here.
And I mean, I I told her I appreciate the mom energy.
I I need that. I I need to to be careful.
But no, I mean it. That's gonna be a blast.
Nothing exciting for me, I would say.
What should I promote? Pats Tool rules.
Yeah, you said you're actually planning the trip across state
lines with the family to draft gauntlet teams, right?
I'm flying to New Orleans just to draft gauntlets, just to
draft in the gauntlet. You should.
You should tell your family. I'm pretty sure you can't draft
underdog teams in New Orleans. You should tell your family
that. Like there's a really good
Christmas tree across the border in Oregon.
And. The The new Clark Griswold like
you know, Christmas vacation in 2023 is is Clark Griswold
driving across the border to draft gauntlet teams.
I love. It Love it.
Anything else for you, Pat? I mean the tool.
Here's what I'll say about the tool.
It's fun. The drafts are fun because you
don't have to think about all these.
You're not having to do the Charlie Day, so you can then
just pick between players you like, which is just what we want
to do anyway, so. It's really easy to use.
If I can use it, anybody can. Seriously.
I I got my usual stuff tomorrow. DFS show with Jam to win at 2:00
PM on my channel and then hang with the Badge Bros immediately
after. At 3:00 PM we'll walk through
the underdog slate, Battle Royales, all that good stuff.
Build some, pick up, pick em entries for the weekend for my
DFS. After dark.
I'm having Gary Hartman from ETR on Saturday night.
Very sharp dude, Excited to catch up with him.
But yeah, have a great time. Like I said last, next week is
the last Thursday Night Football game.
On the slate. We got Browns and Jets.
We haven't booked our guest yet. We'll have to go in the lab.
Do we? Do we know any Browns or Jets
fans guys? Your boy Elliot Chris is a Jets
fan. Who?
Your boy, Elliot Crist over at Fantasy Life.
Oh yeah, Elliot. Could be we could go
back-to-back there. I was thinking Mark.
Mark Sessler is the. Only Johns fan.
I know, yeah. I just saw a picture.
Of pooping. Browns fan Mark Sessler.
I want to. I want to leave you guys with
something that's good. Or outside my circle of trust
with how much he flakes like that.
He really has to earn it back. But we.
That I go. Back to the Well, that's my
vote. I mean.
I. Mean.
I just saw a puka BYU. Is it Jess fan?
Oh, those are a great one. Those are great.
One. I just saw puka BYU picture and
I want to leave the people with a puka Riddle.
How did this guy never run full routes in at the collegiate
level at any point? Like like he just had another
game in the fantasy semi finals. 11 targets, 9 catches, 164 yards
in the TD, 33 fantasy points. This guy didn't play full snaps
in college. He's been a workhorse wide
receiver in in the NFL. Was he on a mission?
What happened? I just, I mean, I'm trying to
figure it out. I mean, maybe, maybe the stats
don't reflect. He was gone for two years with
the mission. I don't know.
Everyone have a great night. We'll see you guys next week.
