Touchdown. Oh, he's done it again. Now here's some combination of Adam, Dave, Jamie, Heath, and Beck. Welcome to your mailbag. What's the problem? Already Jamie's upset about something. What happened? Tyler Huntley didn't practice today.

Why? With a non-COVID related illness. Don't tell me that. He's expected to start. He's expected to start one minute ago. The fantasy semifinals. Okay, well, welcome to the show, everybody. This is your mailbag. Merry Christmas, if you're listening on Saturday.

Happy Christmas Eve. Happy Holidays, everybody. Nick Foles is going to start for the Bears? What? Nick Foles is starting? Well, I mean, no Justin Fields in practice again, and Andy Dalton's been ruled out. Yeah, all right.

So, great stuff. Ho, ho, the practice again and Andy Dalton ruled out. Yeah. All right. So great stuff. Ho, ho, ho, Jamie. The bear of good news. We have Dan Schneier here. And since it is Christmas, Dan, of course, has a top five. And of course, it is his top five. No joke. His top five pizza toppings. Because he doesn't feel comfortable enough giving a top five list of Christmas movies.

I don't watch Christmas movies. I would even say Die Hard. I don't even know if that is a Christmas movie. That would be my only call. It's not. It isn't. Here's some Christmas movies I've never seen. Is Home Alone a Christmas movie?

Is Home Alone a Christmas movie? Is it not? Is Old School a comedy? Yeah, of course it's a christmas okay okay yes home alone is a christmas movie yeah you know what i know what i saw if you're seeing a christmas story that's a good one i mean i don't particularly enjoy it but no no it's old and boring but okay uh we got some news for you here. And I will come up with a top five Christmas movie list. I think Elf is going to have to be on there.

Gabriel Davis is out. Emmanuel Sanders is going to play. How much more do you... How would you compare how you like Sanders now compared to how you liked Gabriel Davis when we thought it was Davis but no Sanders? Jamie? I don't like him as much because Cause he's, you know, still,

even though he's off the practice report off the injury report, I still think he's probably still dealing with something and he just wasn't good. You know, Gabriel Davis has more juice at this point, you know, in his career and his season, this stinks, this absolutely stinks because you know, he's been playing so well and I think changes the dynamic of this offense. I'm struggling with struggling with Josh Allen. I was thinking about this after our show today, Adam,

on Fantasy Football Today on HQ on Friday. Excuse me. I'm obviously not very optimistic about Brady. Is there a dramatic difference between these two? You have a pretty standout receiver in Stephon Diggs, a pretty standout receiver in Antonio Brown. You have a better tight end, I think, in Gronk than you do in Dawson Knox, but both are pretty good.

And then it's just a bunch of spare parts, right? You know, I was actually thinking of maybe bumping Singletary up in my theoretical rankings. He might catch some more passes. I think they have a better pass catching running back than the bucks do. Well, that's the flip side of that is that the bucks have a run game that they can rely on.

Yeah. Even if you don't trust Ronald Jones, he's more reliable in his role than Devin Singletary is in his, but they're kind of in similar spots, right? I mean, two high end quarterbacks that are missing huge parts, but the difference is,

is the best part is still there for the Bills, I guess, as opposed to the best part. The matchup is so hard, so much harder for Allen. You're making a pretty good point here. I know you're struggling with Tyler Huntley versus Josh Allen, right? Yeah, that's a personal

not a ranking decision. That's a personal decision for my leagues. I'm going to stick with Josh Allen. I just feel like he's the reason I'm here and it's not like it's a personal decision for my leagues. I'm going to stick with Josh Allen. I just feel like he's, he's the reason I'm here. And it's not like it's a slam dunk. Antonio Gibson and Miles Sanders, both missing practice on Friday. Who's the better guy to get Jordan Howard or Jared Patterson, Dan?

I would go with Jordan Howard there for sure. I like what I've seen from the Eagles running game, especially with Hertz in the lineup. It's a big boost for them versus Minshew. Not that, you know, we weren't expecting Minshew anyway, but I think Howard makes sense here.

Yeah, okay. And what else, guys? It's also time of game, too. Oh, true. Andy Dalton has been ruled out. Justin Fields is questionable. So we've got that. So I got that going for me.

I mean, it's Christmas. It's St. Nick. Nick Foles. I'm trying to see what other news am I missing here? From today? Jake Fromm starting. Okay. Jake Fromm. That was an hour earlier.

Oh, Quentin Nelson. So now the Colts are without Quentin Nelson and Ryan Kelly. They're left guard and they're starting center. Two pro bowlers here. And they have one other starting offensive lineman, Adam. Play it down for you guys. Yeah. Does it change anything?

For the people that are listening to this, that play in my leagues that are starting down the tail, you should bench him. It's not great. Yeah. Looks like Jared Goff is almost certainly going to be out and DeAndre Swift is

questionable. And it's going to be Tim Boyle, right? According to reports. Yep. Yeah, Tim Boyle. Okay. All right. And that's it. Let's see if anything else comes up during the show. And we're going to read your emails at fantasyfootballatcbsi.com, your Apple podcast questions,

and give you a top five list midway through the episode. All right. Your emails from Kyle. Hey, Tony, Captain, Count, and Rabbit. Cereals? Oh, sure. Yeah, yeah. Cereal mascots.

Full PPR. If Tyree killed... Does Dan know all three of those? Four of them. Tony, Captain, Count, and Rabbit. Tony the Tiger. What was the second one? Count.

Count. Chocula. Captain. Crunch. And Rabbit. Trix. Yeah. Oh, look at that. Now rank them. that might be the first time i've ever gotten

that getting anything right on this show all right let's rank those nick falls starting officially wow great news for everyone um let's see we got to rank those cereals yeah you got frosted flakes cap and crunch count chocula captain crunch is first obviously right not for me not for you tricks how about tricks is a surprising second for me i like trick i don't think i've ever had count chocolate so i don't care me either who eats that i actually am big a big Frosted Flakes fan. Me too. One of my favorites. That would make sense for you, Adam. A little surprised by Jamie.

And that was not a compliment. All right. Do I play Renfro or Antonio Brown at Flex? Antonio Brown. Antonio Brown for sure. How are you benching one of those guys? Play them both. He has Tyreek Hill and Cooper Cup. In all likelihood, he'll be playing both. But he said if he'll play as renfro or brown so it'll be brown all right half

ppr question for i don't have a name here oh from team name wtf wide receivers boyd lockett jacoby uh i don't know how many he needs oh no no no, no, no. All right, here's what it is. He's starting Tyler Boyd, Tyler Lockett, and Jacoby Myers. He has Jalen Waddell, Amonra St. Brown, and Callaway on the bench. Would you make any changes? Would you bench maybe Boyd or Lockett or Boyd or Myers for Waddell? Wait, what? How would you play Tyler Boyd over Jalen Waddell?

That's what he has. I wouldn't play Myers over either of them either. Who are the other guys? Waddle and who else? Amonra St. Brown and Marquez Calloway. That's a tough one between Amonra St. Brown and Jacoby Myers at this point. I'd probably go Myers. You go Myers. I can see the case for

St. Brown. You could sit Michael Carter and start the receivers. Would you keep Carter? Half PPR. Carter's so interesting now because was last week what they are in their backfield rotation with Coleman and Carter? Or was last week, okay, you just had a three-game absence and we want to just make sure you get

yourself your feet wet. No Josh Allen for the Jaguars hurts that defense in a big way. I'd probably go Carter. Okay. This is from Colin. He says, Sorry, Dan.

You'll get that someday. Dear Dancer, Prancer, and Vixen, 12-team PPR, I find myself with a really good problem to have, but I'm really stumped about the best option. Would you flex Alexander Madison or Antonio Brown? Full PPR, Madison or Brown? I think I would actually lean Madison in this regard.

I feel like you got a higher floor there. Clint Kubiak run game just never fails. And he's also involved in the passing game. But I can see the case for Brown. There's more upside there. Again, who are you benching to keep these guys out of your life? That I don't know. and he's also involved in the passing game. But I can see the case for Brown. There's more upside there. Again, who are you benching to keep these guys out of your line? Yeah, I agree.

That I don't know. Oh, he has Najee Harris and Justin Jefferson. You can't bench those two, but you usually need to start more than that many. Like, what is it, Shallow League? Well, I think you have... Jamie, I think you have Madison ahead of Najee, right? I do.

Yeah, so you could sit Najee. But I wouldn't want to. No, I don't want to sit anybody. Would you start Antonio Brown or Najee Harris? In PPR, I would start Antonio Brown. Okay.

This is from Clay. Tyler Lockett or Russell Gage? I currently have Gage ranked higher, but I might change that because I don't know if the Lions offense is going to show up. I still like Gage, but I don't know if I like him as much as I did. Yeah.

I brought that up on the Friday show. His two great games recently were losses. A lot of targets. And I don't think they're going to lose. Yeah, but again, he scored early in the 49ers game. I know he scored early, but he still, just talking about yardage-wise. And plus, that touchdown, it was a tremendous catch. It's not the kind of play I count on Russell Gaines.

He made two in the same game. I still don't count on him making those catches. I know. I know. But look, it's just a simple fact of the fewer points they have to score, the fewer passes they throw, and the fewer targets he gets, right? I mean, that's kind of how it goes. No? Not buying that?

The counter is that. It's obvious. I mean, you want the game script to be positive in his favor for a pass-heavy game script. Right, and Detroit, they are really bad against number one. So that's why. Pat Fryer moved out. All right.

Here's from Ryan. I picked up Ronald Jones and Javante Williams. Who do I start? And he has Najee Harris and Saquon Barkley. So I guess he's got four and needs three. Picked up Ronald Jones and who? Javante Williams. I don't know. So it's Williams, Ronald Jones the Brown Jones and who? Javante Williams. I don't know.

So it's Williams, Ronald Jones, Barkley and who? Najee. I'm sitting Barkley. Yeah, I'm also sitting Barkley in that spot, which is crazy that we've got at that point. This is from Keaton. I could repeat as... Do you have a new setup, Dan, or are you in

someplace else? I'm in someplace else. You brought all your Gi giant gear with you? Yeah, some of it. Do you have a room that's just all giant stuff? No, that's later in life. Where are you now? I'm in a different room in my apartment. Okay.

Yeah. Okay. I look forward to making some sort of man cave at some point. That'd be fun. Would your wife allow it? I make the rules in this house. Yeah, yes. We all know that.

She would allow it. That's why I asked the question. We know that. You see the three pictures behind him, Dan? That's the closest to a man cave he's going to get. Yeah. Those are the only... It's a little thing you've got to play it off like you make the rules in that household.

We both make the rules. We're good. Think anyone buys that who's listened to this show for a long time? That's the nice thing about Adam's lovely wife is that she allows him to think they both make the rules. Right. And my wife would say the same thing. Oh, yes, we both make the rules.

No. I don't think we really have any rules yet. That's where you lose. There are rules. What rules? There's nothing. I am not hindered in any way. I'm not. It's true. I could do whatever I want.

Here's what I want you to do. Someone clip that and send it to Adam White. It's Christmas Eve, so tonight's not the night to do it. Here's what I want you to do. Next Friday, I want you to look her in the eye and say, I'm going out, and I'm not telling you where I'm going, and I'll be back later whenever I feel like it. Okay, that's a little bit different.

Why? You're not hindered in any way? No, if I said I have plans with my friends, I'm going out, that'd be one thing. I'm not telling you where I'm going? That's not a rule. That's just common courtesy. No, you said I'm not hindered in any way.

That is ridiculous. You're taking it way too literally. All right. You're not hindered in any way. This is Keaton. Everyone in my league has named their teams Keaton Stinks or something like that. So it's more important than ever that I win to keep that beautiful trophy. I've lost Dalvin Cook, but I still have Javante Williams, Najee Harris, and Justin Jackson.

All right. So after all that, he needs a wide receiver. Please pick two receivers. DJ Moore, game time decision, Darnell Mooney, Mecole Hardman, Amonra St.

Brown, Kadarius Tony, or AJ Green, Tyler Boyd, Judy Lazard, McLaurin is on waivers. And so is Osborne. Well,

I gave you a lot of names there. All right. Let me give you the names again. We need to DJ Moore, Darnell Mooney, Hardman,borne. Boy, I gave you a lot of names there. All right, let me give you the names again. We need two. DJ Moore, Darnell Mooney, Hardman, St. Brown, Kadarius Toney, AJ Green, Tyler Boyd, Judy, Lazard, McLaurin, Osborne. Jesus.

He needs two of those? Mm-hmm. Lazard and Hardman. aj green aj green and terry mclaurin aj green and lazard what about dj morphy locking in lazard i'm just trying to figure out who the next one would be from that punch here here's what we're at i mean more may not play he listens questionable he returned to practice practice on Friday. With all the COVID crap,

you got a guy that's in a pretty good spot on Saturday. You see this comment? Adam has to take those three pictures down after the show is over. That's very funny. See, I told you, the listeners know what the real deal is. You can say what you want, but they've been listening for long enough. Man, I do you, the listeners know what the real deal is. You can say what you want, but they've been listening for long enough. Man, I do whatever I want.

Like I said, somebody please clip that and send it to Adam's wife. So does she. We have the same interests. It's survive, get the kids to bed, and see if we can catch an episode of Dexter before our daughter wakes up. That's our whole life. All right, Mike in Thousand Oaks. Hey, Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy.

You got this one, Schneier? Of course not. Yeah, me either. I had Kittle bust, so I'm a little worried. Would you trust Kyler Murray or go for a potential big game from Tyler Huntley? I have a sneaky feeling now that the

Colts aren't going to be as successful holding the ball as they typically are without their starting to, you know, three offensive linemen, but they're two best guys. So Kyler may have some more scoring chances. So I would probably stick with Kyle. Still that same reason.

I think they'll have the ball the whole time. This is a Peter, Susan Edmond, and Lucy is from the Chronicles of Narnia. And the other question here from Mike, who had a bad game from Kittle and wants some upside here. Not necessarily. He wants your opinion, though.

Michael Pittman or Mikko Hardman? Pittman. Yeah, this is a good spot for Pittman, even with the offensive line injuries. From Andrew, CJ Uzama or Cole Komet? Komet. I'm in the same spot. I had to claim one of those or Cole Komet? Komet. I'm in the same spot. I have to claim one of those two and I went Komet, so

I'll also go with Komet. From Liam, what's up Cousin Eddie and Catherine, Rocky, Ruby Sue, and Snots? Mela, Kaliki, Maka. What do you like best, or who do you like best in PPR, wide receiver two? Devante Parker, Chase Claypool, Tyler Boyd, or Jacoby Myers?

PPR. Still Parker, but I don't love it. Yeah. I don't really have... Give me those names again. Claypool, no. Parker, probably. Who are the other two?

Jacoby Myers. I guess you can make the case for Myers instead. It would be one of those two for me. And Tyler Boyd was the other. Here's a fun fact. Nick Foles has faced the Seahawks once in his career. One career start. Who was the team that he was on when he made the one career start against the Seahawks?

The Chiefs. No. The Eagles. No. The Eagles? No. The Bears? No. Now, these obviously wasn't those two, Adam. That's why it's a fun fact.

Well, I don't remember the other teams he was on. The Rams. The Rams. It was 2015. Oh, he was on the... I don't even remember him on the Rams. He was 18 of 27 for 297 yards and a touchdown. Wow.

In that same game, Jimmy Graham caught a touchdown for Seattle. Nick Foles, start of the week. He threw for 297 and won. That's not a good sign. 297? That's a lot. 297 on like 16 to 20 attempts is pretty good. That's a hell of a game.

That's from Kevin Fishbane of The Athletic. 18 of 27. This is from another guy named Kevin. Kevin. Uh, Hey guys, it just worked out that I have some tough decisions at running back this week,

which two for PPR, or you could start three if you want to start one over lock it, but let's pick your favorite two for now. Zeke Mixon, Madison, Javante, Ronald Jones. Uh, Ronald Jones and Zeke Mixon, Madison, Jervonta, Ronald Jones.

Ronald Jones and... Zeke Mixon, Madison, Gervonta. Madison. Yeah. And then would you start Zeke, Mixon, or Gervonta over Tyler Lockett? PPR. No. Not full PPR, no.

This is from Chris. Hey, Trey, Mike, John, and Paige. That would be the band Phish. Phish. Trey is kind of a Phish giveaway. I'm in a 12-team half PPR semifinals.

Could it be Nine Inch Nails, too? No, that's Trent. Oh, Trent. 12-team half PPR, PPR. You should know that. I mean, he wrote the music for Social Network. It's true. Pick two running backs.

Najee Harris, Javante Williams, Rashad Penny. Najee Harris, Javante Williams, Rashad Penny. Najee and Javante. Yeah. And then would you flex Penny or Renfro? Half PPR. Renfro. And I have Alexander Madison.

So, okay. You should have led with that, Chris. This email might be a few days old, though. Madison, Najee, Javante. Now you have to pick two of them. Madison and Najee. And now you have to pick Javante or Renfro. Renfro for me

this is half point PPR yeah yeah yeah god I really like Javante I really like Javante this week right you love Javante this week

I do I like them both I like to know who's receivers are they sitting Renfro yeah yeah alright from Ryan starter sit in non

non PPR Mike Williams or Jalen Waddle um sit Waddle? Sit Waddle. Yeah. Wow. Okay.

Really? You hate Mike Williams, Adam, over there. Oh, gee. I don't know why. He's so good every week. He comes through always. What a stud. Yeah, you know what? I'm going to take that back because I actually have the decision to make,

and I have Waddle in there right now, so I'll start Waddle over Williams. I'm sticking with Mike Williams. They're going to have better, in my opinion, they're going to be putting up more points to the air. I know the game script will slow down, but it's a very fair point. Why? Oh, because of Eckler being

out? Is that what you're saying? No, it's a fair point of why Williams is better than Waddle in non-PPR. Okay. Oh, do you mean more in the air than the Dolphins are saying? Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, you got that run defense for the Saints.

All right. From Eric, start three. Mixon, Jacobs, Zeke. You still have me on your computer speakers, Schneier? No, I don't. Really? I think you're lying. I think you're lying. All right.

Mixon, Jacob, Zeke, Ronald Jones, Madison, and Reynolds. Start three. Not Reynolds. We should never play live poker, Adam, because obviously I destroyed you when we did our poker over the internet this summer. That was just an embarrassment on all parts

for everyone not named me or Dave. As me or Dave just took every single tournament. But having said that, you do have some good live reads. What do you mean? Live reads. You could tell I was lying there. That's a live read. If you were playing live, you'd be able to read me.

A live read is also like... Today's show is brought to you by Dan's Favorite Pizza Toppings. Mixon, Jacobs, Zeke, Ronald Jones, Alexander, Madison. Pick three. Rojo and Madison, for sure. I think we've said that a bunch. And who are the other two?

Mixon, Jacobs, and Zeke. Jacob. Yeah. I don't really like Jacobs, and Zeke. Jacob. Yeah. I don't really like Mixon or Zeke this week. Alright. From John. For those who have been knocked out of the playoffs, can you do a segment on who you would target next year in a PPR Dynasty League?

That's available now? I don't know. Like as in the rookie draft from the rookie class? I also don't know. If it's Dynasty, I don't see how, like unless they're talking about like trades. Who are some good young wide receivers that? I mean, I guess if you're looking at it, I don't know who's available,

but like I see if Terrace Marshall, somebody dropped him. If Gainwell, somebody dropped him. Donald Parham, I think could be somebody that's more involved in the Chargers offense if they don't address the position. I'm still fascinated by what the Saints receiving corps is going to look like with Michael Thomas back. So if Callaway or Traquan Smith are available,

seeing what actually a one, a two, and a three can look like in that offense. Gabe Davis, what do you think? Do you think Gabe Davis has a... If he's not rostered in Dynasty, that's ridiculous. Well, I don't know if this... I don't really know how to interpret the question, because Terrace Marshall, I'm sure,

is rostered in Dynasty, too. Yeah, again, you just don't know. Yeah, I would agree. Gainwell in Dynasty, too. Yeah, again, you just don't know. Yeah, I would agree. Gainwell, too. All right. From no name here. PPR League, two running backs and two flexes. So he wants three of these running backs.

James Robinson, Javante Williams, Clyde Edwards-Elair, Aaron Jones, Tony Pollard, and A.J. Dillon. I'll probably focus on the first four, three of them. Robinson, Javante, CEH, Aaron Jones, PPR. So three of the four? For me, it's everybody but CEH. Give me the names again, I'm sorry. James Robinson, Javante, CEH aaron jones uh wow i'm benching giovante you like ch this week yeah steelers are really bad against the run yes they are

from p i did well stockpiling running backs now i have tough. Start three in non-PPR. Miles Sanders, Alexander Madison, A.J. Dillon, Ronald Jones, Chase Edmonds, Sonny Michel. Non-PPR. Well, Sanders you might not have. Yeah.

Definitely Madison. Madison and I think definitely Rojo as well. The question becomes is I mean Edmonds is the easy one if Conor's out on Saturday. Over Michelle in non-PPR? I would take Edmonds over Michelle in non-PPR. Definitely. If he's out. You'd take him over Sanders? If Sanders plays?

Yeah. See, that's the thing is you're probably not going to know about Sanders' status until after the game starts tomorrow. Yeah, that's true. So, I mean, if Connor is out and you have the ability to play Edmonds, I probably would do so.

Okay, yeah, that's fair. And one more email here from Frank. 12-team PPR. I need help deciding my two running backs and my flex. Pick three. Gibson, Madison, Michelle, Ronald Jones, and Swift.

All right. So Madison, Ronald Jones is the answer always, right? Yeah. So then we've got Gibson, Michelle, and Swift. PPR. PPR. Swift. Okay.

It's time to take a break. When we come back, Dan's top five pizza toppings and my top five christmas movies and your apple podcast questions we'll be right back on fantasy football today what do mattel banana republic butcher box and glossier all have in common? They power their businesses with Shopify. Shopify is the most innovative and scaled commerce platform on the planet that also happens to have the best converting checkout on the planet. And that's no industry secret. That's Shopify. Learn more at shopify.com slash enterprise. So I'm going to take a quick stab at Schne.com slash enterprise. Like vegetarian. Salad. Salad. Salad pizza? Yeah, my wife's family loves salad pizza.

What is that? What did they do on a salad pizza? It's literally they put lettuce on top of the pizza. It's really not bad because it's good salad. Is there cheese and sauce or no? It's a slice of pizza with freaking salad on top. Right. It's a slice of cheese pizza with salad. Now you can do it with white pizza.

Yeah, you like it, right, Jamie? It's not it like white lettuce yeah it's you like it right jamie it's not my first choice but it's not horrible all right so other than salad dan what's your top five all right we'll start with number one we'll go that way it's a surprise especially considering my last name but it's bacon has anyone ever had bacon i thought you were kosher i did not even think for one second that this was a possibility. Well, you can't name any Christmas movies. What did you say? You can't name any Christmas movies, so I just, you know, was assuming.

All right, bacon. Yeah, that's a good topic. Bacon's a great, especially if it's real bacon, not like that crumbled up crap. So we got that one. The number two is pepperoni, but here's the important thing. It has to be those pepperonis that are smaller and they curl up. If you have the crappy flat, big ones, totally different type of pepperoni. It doesn't taste anywhere near the same. It's awful. It's crap. Don't even order it. Got to get the curled up pepperonis. All right. That's

number two, number three, it's peppers and onions, but it's got to be green peppers, red peppers in general, probably a more tasty pepper, but on a pizza, green peppers and onions but it's got to be green peppers red peppers in general probably a more tasty pepper but on a pizza green peppers and onions is a good combo number four buff chick pizza can't go wrong just make sure you don't put ranch on there because ranch is disgusting oh are you so cool that you can't even say buffalo chicken you have to say buff chick what the hell is that trying to say you know we got to get we got to get save to save time for you to expound on your Christmas movie take. So we'll go Buff Check Pizza as a fourth. And then five, coming in at five, you're running out of stuff here.

But for the fifth one, I'm probably going to go with meatball. But you got to make sure it's from a nice Italian place. Don't get meatball from Domino's. That's going to be some crappy meatball where they probably don't even use half ground pork, half red meat. They probably don't even put in the parsley. It's like you got to make sure it's an Italian meatball where they probably don't even use like half ground pork half half uh you know red meat they probably don't even put in the parsley it's like you know you got to make sure it's an italian meatball all right there we go we just lost dominoes as a sponsor yeah uh yeah this is a great great question from jasmine the brat buff chicks do these girls work out that's like i was like what is he talking about? Buff chicks. Oh, I like that,

Jasmine. Yeah, Jasmine Sharp. All right. So bacon one, small curled up pepperoni. You call and hi, can I have a small curled up pepperoni pizza? Here's the thing you don't understand, Adam. You should be knowing the pizza places you go to and you know if they got the good stuff, you know, you know,

you got to know these things. So if you're out of town and you go to a pizza and you want pepperoni pizza, will you ask them to show you the pepperoni before you get it? You already made a mistake there, Jamie. I don't order pizza from anywhere, not in the tri-state area or new Haven. Such a snob order pizza in Wisconsin.

I had it for four years. It was terrible. I tried every single place. Like, like South Florida is like the fifth borough, sixth borough, whatever. No, it's not. I've had, yeah, dude, it is so good. No tried every single place. Like, like South Florida is like the fifth borough, sixth borough, whatever. No, it's not. I've had pizza down there.

Yeah, dude, it is so good. No, it's legit. It's really good. No, it's not. You don't even know. It's like, oh, South Florida can do pizza and bagels like, like, like the Northeast. No, it's not. You can't even get the same, but it's not, it's not Wisconsin.

Oh, it's better than that, but they don't have the water. All right. We just lost our Wisconsin listeners. Thanks, guys. No, Wisconsin's fine. But I mean, you know, pizza quality is better in New York and the pizza quality is't have the water. All right, we just lost our Wisconsin listeners. Thanks, guys. No, Wisconsin's fine, but I mean, you know, pizza quality is better in New York, and the pizza quality is better in South Florida.

All right, here are your top five Christmas movies. I'm not like you where you insult fan bases left and right. Exactly. Your top five Christmas movies. I had to do a top six, but, you know, they are in order. You don't have Die Hard. This doesn't even count. I'm just going to keep Die Hard off

because I don't consider it a Christmas movie, but fine. If I did, it would be number three on the list home alone is one you don't consider a christmas movie but if you did it would be number well i'm just telling you how i think of it in terms of these other movies but it's not a christmas movie home alone is one christmas vacation is two scrooged is three. I'm going to go Elf four. Not that it's my favorite. I'd rather watch others. I got to jump off of it.

Just Friends is five. Just Friends? Yeah, it's awesome. It's Ryan Reynolds. What the heck's her name? Amy Smart, I think. Is that her name? That is her name.

That is the name of an actress, but I don't know exactly. I've never seen her. Oh, dude, it's great. It's on TV right now. I'm certain of it. I gotta check it out. Yeah, dude, it's great.

I will say that last time you did give me a suggestion, though, it was that band. That's your favorite band. That was your ringtone. I didn't give you a suggestion. I just liked Phantom Planet. You're not gonna like them. No one, of course you would have liked them at you would

have liked them at the times on their spotify is like 1300 plays in the last five years that's not true that can't be true uh all right anyway number six is the night before which i didn't realize how much i loved until i watched it last week. It is really, really funny. All this time spent watching all these movies and re-watching it, you could have spent that time watching Wolf of Wall Street. Probably not. All right, here's your Apple Podcast questions.

I feel like the reason Adam hasn't watched Wolf of Wall Street, and you guys can check this out in the comments and let me know if you agree, it's probably because his wife won't allow him to watch Wolf of Wall Street. She watched it. She watched it on a flight. She can watch it. That we know. But it's about if you agree it's probably because his wife won't allow him to watch wall street she watched it she watched it on a flight we know but it's about if you can do you have permission let me

ask you something what is it that you think that i want to do that i can't watch wolf of wall street to start no i can watch whatever the hell i want you know what let me tell you how great she is last night right now my son is in this phase, he's three years old, where he just wants to listen to the same two or three songs over and over again, all the time. And one of them is Run, Run, Rudolph by Chuck Berry. It's actually Run, Rudolph, Run, it's called, but you know. And it's so annoying. I can't deal with it anymore, but he wants to hear it all the time. And last night, it was 7.30, and it was almost 7.40, and the game was about to start. And I said, you know, I have not watched the Knicks game,

a Knicks game, in so long, in like weeks. I just want to sit down and watch the Knicks game. And at this point, we had to get, my kid wanted to watch,

listen to this stupid song, which was ruining the day and then we had to give them, you know, give them baths and get to bed and I said it out loud, I said,

man, I really want to watch the Knicks game. She said, so why don't you? And I was like, wow, that is really, that is amazing.

She's going to have to put the kids to bed by herself, do the baths. She's going to let me watch the Knicks game. Obviously, I didn't. I helped. But she is the best. I'm very lucky to have her. And she would let me do anything.

Well, let me just say something about that story. What we learned here was that your wife is a saint. What we also learned was, and you even said it in your own words, my wife was going to let me watch the Knit Game, right? As if you wouldn't be able to unless your wife let you. Well, she needed help. It was time to

be a dad and a husband. You know, it's 740 is bedtimes. Do anything that you do in life. Okay. No, I don't need... That's how marriage works, okay? You have to run things by the other, but she always says yes. All right, Apple Podcasts questions. How do you have the man cave that you always wanted?

I will have it. This is my man cave. It's just not the one I wanted. Running back. Please pick between Daryl Henderson, Sonny Michelle, Rashad Penny, Ramondre Stevenson, Aaron Jones,

Michael Carter, and Chase Edmonds. All right, we're not going to go with Henderson. And we're not going to go with Steve. If Conor's out, Edmonds for sure for me. And I like Aaron Jones. Okay, there you go. From Steve. I love the show except the advice to draft Jerry Judy this year,

which I did heavily. Would you start Ronald Jones or Miles Gaskin? P.S. I dropped Jerry Judy to pick up Ronald Jones. So there's that. Well, you nailed it. Ronald Jones is a great pickup. And we've been touting Jones this whole show, this whole week, really. So we're going to stick with Jones here.

This Dan guy is a hater, LOL. It's true. It's all fun, Ryan. It's true. It's all fun, Ryan. It's true. It's all fun. I love Adam. I bring out the worst in Dan. Scott Cove says,

Wolf of Wall Street is awesome. I bet it is. You're right, Scott. But Adam, I guess, we'll never know. All right. Beans. You know what, Beans?

You're going to be kind of... Adam, this is a family-friendly show. Don't put that type of stuff up. All right, Beans, ask your question in the chat. I'm not reading chat questions right now, but I will. So ask your question. I'll try to read it. If his wife allows him to.

From Grant. 10-team, full PPR. Pick a flex, tight end, and a quarterback. Allen or Stafford? I'm sticking with Allen here. No. What? No.

You're going with Allen against the Patriots without Beasley and Gabriel Davis. I know. Over Stafford? It's an unpopular take here. You like Stafford a lot this week? Yeah, I do. I don't really see a reason not to like him.

Even the matchups. I'm sorry. I keep confusing him and the Seahawks. He's got the Vikings this week, right? Yeah. They gave up the third most points to quarterbacks. They did look better last week. All right.

You've convinced me. This was a bad take. I need to walk it back, and I need to go with Stafford here. Yeah, if I let you. Pitzer or Gasicki? What was it? Pitzer or Gasicki? I need to walk it back, and I need to go with Stafford here. Yeah, if I let you. Pitts or Gusecki? What was it? Pitts or Gusecki? I'm going Pitts here.

I'm sure I'm going to get blasted for this one as well. No, I agree with you. Great matchup for him. You're right, though, about the thoughts of Gage. The game script won't be there for Pitts or Gage, so it's going to have to come early, the points, but I don't like Gusecki in this spot. Jamar Chase, Adam Thielen, or Amonra St. Brown?

PPR. This is another one where I know it's not going to be popular, but I'm going Jamar Chase in this spot, and a lot of people are benching Chase this week. No, I agree with you 100%. I love the matchup, and the player's not bad either. They've proven they can move the ball through the air in this matchup. And, you know, the player's not bad either. Yeah, they've proven they can move the ball through the air in this matchup.

From Rumpelstiltskin, I'm in a standard non-PPR league. Do I start Ronald Jones or Aaron Jones? Rojo. This is a Rojo-friendly podcast. Who do I flex? Mark Andrews or Amonra St. Brown? Oh, Mark Andrews.

This is from BDJ. Hey, Lee, Jamie, Beth, and Casey. St. Brown. Mark Andrews. This is from BDJ. Hey, Lee, Jamie, Beth, and Casey. I don't know. I don't know. I am the number one seed looking to make my third consecutive final. I need to pick. Humble brag.

Yeah, I need to pick two. Michael Carter, Javante Williams, or Rashad Penny? Javante Williams for sure. You lock him in. And I think I'm going Michael Carter there. Okay, you're going to end up starting all of them because you have Eckler,

and I don't think he's going to play. Oh, yeah. And let me see who Lee, Jamie, Beth, and Casey are. But this next greeting, I think you definitely should be able to get. This is Yellowstone. Yellowstone, okay. Dear Avery, Mario, Sean, Tim, and David.

Avery, Mario. Is this like Rangers players or something? You're a Knicks fan, right? I would say fan, quote unquote. I'm not a good fan. You should probably know this, though, because this is when you probably were a fan, since you're a bandwagon fan.

Say it again? Avery. No one said I was a bandwagon fan. Let me just point that out. I said it. Let me point that out. Say it again. Avery. No one said I was a bandwagon. Let me just point that out. I said, let me point that out. I said, Avery,

Mario. The good news is I can watch the Knicks whenever I want. Avery, Mario, Sean, Tim, and David. They're not Knicks.

They're Spurs. Not Knicks. Oh, the people who have beat the Knicks? Well, they beat the Knicks in the, in the final, in the 99.

Tim Duncan. Or is it the 2000, 99, 2000 season? Oh, they beat the Knicks in the final, in the 99 finals. Tim Duncan. Or was it the 2000, 99, 2000 season? Oh, it's all those Spurs from that one final. Avery Johnson, Mario Eli, Sean Elliott,

Tim Duncan, David Robinson. Okay. Who do you hate more right now, Adam, in your fandom, the Giants or the Knicks? The Knicks, actually. Why?

They should be good. Why? And they suck. Why should they be good? Look at their roster. They have a good team. They were really good last year. I think this is a good roster. Fournier's terrible. He's not terrible. RJ has regressed. This is true. You're defending Fournier? He's fine. They should

be better. They've had a horrible season this year. I wouldn't say that. But I never get to. RJ, you think RJ hasn't regressed? Oh, he has. I'm not allowed to watch them, so I don't know. Alright, anyway. You are, but only when your wife allows. Go on. Set my line up here. PPR. Zeke,

Sonny, Michelle, Clyde. Pick two of those three. Clyde against the Steelers. Bad run defense. We'll start there. It's a Jamie special. Zeke or Sonny. It's a Jamie special. And Zeke or Sony. I'm going Zeke. I think Daryl Henderson is going to continue

to work back into this rotation in a heavy way. Okay. And then need three receivers. Marquise Brown, A.J. Brown. Hopefully you started him. So let's do Marquise Brown, Amari Cooper, Van Jefferson, A.J. Green, Michael Gallup. Pick three.

For two spots. Well, let's give him a three just in case he's set. A.J. Green, Michael Gallup. Pick three. For two spots. Well, let's give him a three just in case he's set. A.J. Brown. It was Cooper. Who else? Marquise Brown, Cooper, Van Jefferson, A.J. Green, Michael Gallup. I think I'm going Cooper, Jefferson, and Green. All right.

And we'll run a few. We'll read a few of your... Oh, Jamie's back. Hey, Jamie. Hey. My video went out. Whatever. This happens every show now.

Yeah, I don't know. It's so sensitive. All right, I'm going to read a few here. Claypool, Emmanuel Sanders, or Jacoby Myers? Half PPR. Myers, if Aguilar and Bourne remain out.

If not, I'd go Sanders. Tyler Johnson, Miles Gaskin, or Kadarius Toney? Tyler. Yeah, and Toney's not going to play. Phelan or Edmonds for flex? Edmonds for sure, if no Connor, I think. You'll know Saturday. Michelle or Justin Jackson? Half

PPR. Jackson. Yeah, I'm Jackson too. There's more volume. Michelle or Rashad Penny? Michelle. Out on Penny, I agree. Justin Jackson, St. Brown, Josh Jacobs, Hollywood Brown, Christian Kirk.

Jacobs. Jacobs for Dan, Jackson for Jamie. Russell Wilson or Joe Burrow? Joe Joe. Yeah, Burrow. He should be able to do well in this matchup, even though it's going to be cold. Pick two, Beckham, Goddard, St. Brown.

First two. Yeah. Justin Jackson, Jamie's clicking his pen. Justin Jackson or Jordan Howard if Sanders and Eckler are out. What was that about Jamie? He has this habit. He clicks his pen.

I had my wedding ring off and I was doing this. Oh, okay. Wow, that's a tough one. Probably Jackson. Yeah, Jackson. Justin Jackson.

Oh, we did that one. Sorry. All right, one more here. Let's go to... Man, we got a lot of questions. Dak, Huntley, or Burrow? Dak. He's the safest play.

He's got the highest floor. Okay, I got to get out of here. I got another show coming up with this diva who's probably so mad just we're late. Oh, actually, it's Jamie today. All right, Jamie and I will be on this youtube.com slash fantasy football today. Hop on over for FFT in five.

Thank you, Dan Schneier. Have fun with your green peppers and curl pepperonis. Thank you. Later, everybody. Merry Christmas, guys.
