On today's episode of the Ringer Fantasy Football Show, we preview the conference championships
and pick the players that we think will stand out.
We also look at whether the Chiefs will be able to run all over the bills again, and if
the Buccaneers can pressure Aaron Rogers like they did in week six.
We also do, of course, showdown time because we just still don't have a better name, but
whatever.
Stick around.
Welcome to the Ringer Fantasy Football Show.
My name is Danny Heifitz, and I'm joined by Danny Kelly and Craig Horlbeck.
It is the conference championships round.
And this is, yeah, woo,
woo, thanks for the woo.
Where's your woo, Craig?
Whoa.
It's like, what is?
Bring in the energy.
What is the, the Happy Gilmore?
They're like, woo.
Yeah, that's me.
Happy Gilmar, great film.
Danny Hyatt probably hasn't seen it.
I hate you.
All my guts.
Anyway, we're the fantasy football show,
but fantasy is kind of weird in the playoffs.
So we are doing, we're doing a fun DFS game
so we can preview the championship rounds.
We each have come here.
We're three separate Daily Fantasy lineups.
We've been doing this each round of the playoffs,
and we are keeping track.
DK's in first.
We don't want to talk about that.
Anyways.
Hell yeah.
Wait,
where's one thing we do want to talk about?
What?
What is it?
I beat you last week.
Oh, yeah, that sucks.
Even though I beat you,
I got to take four of your players.
I lost three of four trivias.
I beat Danny Heifitz with Matt Barclay.
Yeah, so that's not great,
especially because I took Michael Thomas from you
and then he had no catches.
That was like less than ideal.
Yeah, what happened to your line?
up Hyphitz. Who else did you have? You took Michael Thomas
from me and then I grabbed Mike Evans and Mike Evans
got to touch that and Thomas put up a goose.
Yeah, that was really tough.
It was just overall really bad.
It also was really dumb to take the Rams D against the Packers
offense. That wasn't awesome. Right.
Ended up with negative. That was not super chill.
Yeah, so updated standings here. D.K.'s got a sizable lead. He's got
211.11 points. Then there's a large chasm and then
there's, Hyvitz and I are 1.2 points apart.
164 to 163.
so Hyvitz and I have some work to do this week.
A little bit, just a little bit.
Anyway, there is one catch to this, which is, as we've alluded to,
we're not allowed to use the same players.
So if we end up picking the same players for any of these choices,
you will hear this sound.
And then we will do a trivia off or what do we, showdown die.
Craig will say.
Craig will say.
Craig will announce it.
And yeah, we'll see whoever gets closer for the trivia
and the winner gets to keep the player and the loser has to pick someone else.
You'll get it. It's not that complicated.
Right.
By the way, can we talk about the fact that last week, Craig, because of our format,
because it's fun, and he ended up not having a starting quarterback on his, he ended picking
Matt Barkley because he lost Josh Allen.
Or who did you lose?
Lamar Jackson?
Yeah, I lost Lamar.
And Josh Allen was more expensive than Lamar, so I couldn't take him.
And he, so he had to go with the backup quarterback.
He picked Matt Barkley, which is hilarious because three backup quarterbacks.
Score point last week.
And to be clear, I did offer you a five times multiplier on any of the back of these.
So I'd be in first right now.
Probably.
It's so great.
Tyler Huntley, Henney, and James Winston came off the bench to throw a touchdown.
So tough luck, man.
That's tough.
But you still be Danny.
Yeah, not my finest.
Okay.
Well, let's get into finer days.
All right.
Let's just start off here with Buck's Packers.
This is, I mean, this is nuts.
This is like legit, legendary.
Legendary is an overused word, but.
I mean, Tom Brady and Aaron Rogers are playing to go to the Super Bowl.
I think that's crazy.
So let's just start with the Packers side of the ball when the Packers are on offense.
D.K., do you have any Packers on your team?
I do.
By the way, before we get into this, it's actually kind of fun that the four teams left are like four of the best offenses in the NFL.
There's just a ton of really good skill position players, quarterbacks.
Anyway, so here's my Packers that I'm going with this week.
I'm going with Aaron Jones running back, Devante Adams, Al and Lizard.
and that's it.
Craig, what about you?
Yeah, so my guys, I got Devante Adams,
a little known receiver, the place for the Packers.
I got Marquez Valdez Scantling,
rolling the dice on him,
and then I'm going with Jamal Williams,
running back.
Back and running back.
I like that.
All right, well, I got Aaron Rogers,
and I got Devante Adams,
and I got Valdez Scatling.
So, wow, that's our first triple showdown time
with Devonte.
Hell yeah, hell yeah.
Okay, so a lot of pack.
Okay, so we have a lot to unpack later with the trivia.
But for now...
Good one, good one.
How do you guys see this game going?
Dek, as you mentioned, these are all these offenses are unbelievable in this round.
I mean, the Packers, Bills, and Bucks were the number one, two, three scoring offenses this regular season.
Then the fourth team is the Chiefs who might have a better offense than any of them.
That blew my mind, by the way.
Riley mentioned that.
My editor, Riley McAtee mentioned that in Slack the other day.
He was like, the Chiefs have the fourth highest scoring offense in the conference championship rounds.
It's just like insane.
also one note here
Week 6 of the NFL season
featured this weekend
Yeah both of them
Both of these games happened
It was Bucks versus the Packers
And the Bucks killed the Packers
And then it was the Chiefs bills
And the Chiefs won a slog
Yeah the Bucks
The Bucs ran the Packers off the field
So that was the week that
The Bucks really pressured Rogers
So Rogers had the third lowest
Passer rating of his career
Against the Bucs in week six
And he threw two picks in the six
And he threw two picks in the
second quarter of that game.
To put that in perspective, the other 67 quarters he's played this season, he had three
picks.
Yeah.
So the buck's got to him.
That's random.
I went with Rogers this week.
I'm not worried about it happening again, to be honest.
Like, it's just shit happens.
And just like we saw the Saints gut just blew the Bucks out two months ago.
And then the Bucks went out and beat the Saints this week.
I just think that the same, the Packers are just a different team.
And quite honestly, there were all these little mistakes they made.
Like the running backs, Jamal Williams, your boy, Craig, was missing blocking
assignments and the line wasn't communicating.
They're having trouble getting to the line of scrimmage.
Like they were late in the play clock.
And then Rogers wasn't able to make protections.
I just don't think that they're going to have trouble blocking the same way that they did
the last matchup.
So I'm not afraid.
I just think the Packers are going to play a lot better.
And the Packers also were like a half-baked offense at the time.
And now they're the best offense in football.
So I like the Packers this week a lot.
They've self-actualized, as Craig put it the other day.
I think that game, it just snowballed for the Packers.
And pun intended, because there is actually supposed to be snow.
this Sunday in Green Bay, which is exciting.
Normally, I think it would be a bigger factor, but, you know, Brady's played in the snow
plenty of times in his career, playing in New England for 20 years.
I don't think that's going to be this huge factor.
Brady's still, you know, still got it in the snow when it comes to all that, but just keep
that in mind.
It's supposed to be 29 degrees, snow showers early in the day, and I don't know if that
means it's going to be like piled up on the field or anything like that, but it could be
kind of a wild game.
I wanted to ask you, D.K., why you like Aaron Jones?
what particularly has stood out to you?
Because I think the bucks are, if not, if not the best,
one of the best run defenses in the league.
Right.
Honestly, to me, it was like,
looking at the running backs group this week,
there's nobody that I really feel that confident in.
No, from a talent perspective,
it's Jones and then everybody else.
Yeah, it was almost like a process of,
like, just I defaulted to Jones
because he's the only guy that's good in this lineup
or in this slate.
So basically the other guys that I'll just go
down the list by like price right now.
Leonard Furnett, Clyde Edwards-Villair, who might not even play.
Daryl Williams, who is Daryl Williams.
How dare you? Dorel Williams is wonderful.
Okay.
Ronald Jones, who's been banged up.
Levion Bell, who's terrible at this point in his career.
Jamal Williams, who, you know, he's hurt.
He might not even play.
He's like still limited in practice.
I don't know if they're going to go with him or with A.J. Dillon, whatever.
Basically, the bottom line is like, I just went with Aaron Jones because
He's Aaron Jones, number one.
He's going to get his touches.
And Craig, I think you mentioned this a couple shows ago, but, like, he just is very
consistently going to get, like, 15 to 20 touches every game.
Going back his last 10 games, he averaged 17 per game.
It's 15, 15, 15, 12.
12 is the low.
And then it was 23, 17, 18, 18, 18, 18, 14, 18.
So, like, I think you can just really pretty much bank on him getting his 15 to 20 touches.
You know, he's so explosive.
He's going to be involved in the passing game.
Hyphids, you're right, the Buccaneers are good at defense in terms of run defense,
but his ability to be in the passing game and be a factor there, I think, is good.
So end of the day, like, I just didn't have any confidence really in these other guys,
so I went with Aaron Jones.
I like the passing game thing is really interesting.
I don't think that Packers used him enough.
It felt like he was used more last year than this year.
And specifically, I heard the stat from Ian Hartis.
Since Jones entered the league, only Austin Echler and Naim Hines have averaged more yards per route run than Aaron Jones.
And he's a good receiver.
Maybe they should utilize him more this week in that regard.
I think that would make a lot of sense.
That would obviously be really good for me.
Well, you're safe with Aaron Jones.
Nobody picked him. Good for you.
I can't believe that.
You guys are crazy.
I had him originally, but then I was almost like every,
the running backs were so scrubby.
I was like, I'm just going to, like,
they're all kind of the same this week.
I'm just going to grab one of them and hope for a spike.
That's what I tried to do with Singletary last week.
He got like two points or something like that.
Well, the bills didn't hand the ball off until after the,
the two-minute warning, which was pretty freaking nuts.
They didn't throw, they did not run the ball in the first quarter, I think I saw.
It was pretty great.
But yeah, to keep with running backs, I took Jamal Williams for the fact that he had two
less carries than Aaron Jones last week, and he's $3,000 cheaper.
There were a lot of plays last week against the Rams where Aaron Jones ran them to the
20 or the 15, and then Jamal Williams came in and got a couple goal-lane carries that came
a yard or two short.
So it's happened all year, and, you know, he's constantly hamstringing Aaron
Jones. So I'm hoping that vulture can happen this week. I think there's a good, there's a good
chance of that. So you guys think the Packers move the ball, even though the buck's defense is the best
defense remaining? I do. To me, it's like all these offenses are so on point right now. It's
going to be the story of the week, I think is going to be offense. It's going to be these
quarterbacks. Like Aaron Rogers is just playing out of his mind. You know, the Buccaneers have a good
defense. They've got a lot of talent. But in the NFL today, in the way that the rules are set up and
everything like that.
I just think offense wins.
Hyatt's you said it.
Sabin is like,
Nick Sabin said a couple months ago,
you know, in the old days,
good defense would be a bad,
or a good defense would be a good offense.
Nowadays, it's the other way around.
Yeah, when Saban changes his mind,
I do too.
You know, in the playoffs this year,
the Bucks have played Taylor Heineke
and a version of Drew Brees
that was basically like the guy
from Monty Python,
where he, I mean,
like every part of his body
is broken in some way.
So I don't know.
I don't know.
No, it's so true, because here's the thing.
And honestly, this is a funny,
this is a weird part that's actually true
for all four of these games,
all four teams.
The Bucks have to do on defense
the exact opposite of what they did last week to win.
So the Bucks won last week
and mostly because they just did not respect
Drew Brees' deep ball.
They just played up and were like,
throw it over our heads, we dare you.
And he wouldn't.
Well, now they're playing the Packers.
That's not really going to work.
And funnily enough, that's actually a theme
for all of these games,
because if you kind of zoom out,
the Chiefs just played the Browns,
all the Browns want to do is run the ball.
Now the Chiefs are playing the Bills,
and the Bills didn't run the ball
until the two-minute warning of halftime.
So that strategy is not going to work.
Then you've got the Bills
who last week beat the Ravens
because they're like,
we don't really respect Lamar Jackson's passing.
We're going to make sure you can't run.
Now the Bills are playing the Chiefs,
and they'll probably do the opposite.
They'll be like, we don't care if you run the ball.
We just don't want Patrick Mahomes to pass.
So the bills have to reverse what they're doing.
And even the Packers defense is kind of
reversing themselves because they have to go from Jared Goff,
who is not known for like cutting up defenses or processing.
Now they got to play Tom Brady,
who's like the best processor of all time.
So like all these defenses have to do very different versions of themselves.
But specifically for this week,
I think one example is how the bucks have to cover Devante Adams.
Their cornerback Carlton Davis has shadowed good receivers.
He shadowed Michael Thomas last week,
I think actually all season.
He did really well on Michael Thomas.
But here's the thing.
Thomas has a sprained ankle, but also Carlton Davis is this big physical corner. He jams
people. I don't think he's going to get his hands in Devante Adams. Like, you can go ahead
and jam Devante Adams at the line. Devante Adams is the best receiver in the world because you can't
touch him at the line of scrimmage. I'm a little dubious of how the Bucks guard Devante in this game.
We'll see. Which is why all three of us have him. Yeah, I was going to say, I don't think they're
going to be super successful. Yeah. The last time the Adams did not have at least 10 targets or a
touchdown in a game. So 10 plus targets or a touchdown, September 20th, and he got hurt in that
game. So he's been super, super consistent. I mean, he's just, obviously him and Aaron Rogers have
this mind meld. They do a lot of stuff schematically to get him looks like that, that really cool play
where they ran him up and down behind the line of scrimmage and got him a touchdown last week. Like,
that's the kind of stuff they're looking to do in the red zone. So it's, you know, if there's
anybody that's a safe pick in this game. I feel like it's him just based on what he's done over
the last 10 or 15 weeks. Okay. So you want to flip over the bucks? We all think the Packers can
move the ball. What about the bucks on offense? I got Rob Garncowski at tight end. I got Leonard
Fernett at running back. Lenny Fornes. Playoff Lenny. And then I've got Tyler Johnson. This is
kind of out of left field. The rookie receiver for the Buccaneers, basically just banking on the idea
that Antonio Brown is not going to play.
As of now, which is Thursday afternoon,
we don't know exactly how that's going to go.
But as of now, he is not practicing its day-to-day.
We'll see how it goes.
But right now, I'm just kind of banking on the idea
that Tyler Johnson will get some good looks in this game.
So the only guy I really have, I believe, here,
is Cameron Brayton of a fucking course.
Danny Hafeitez-Cam-Roe.
I have Bray too.
We'll get to that.
And I have Rojo.
So, D.K., I want to talk about the Bucks running game for a second.
I have Ronald Jones, you've Leonard-Fernet.
obviously I'm banking on healthier.
Roja just didn't look super healthy last week.
He had a couple good runs.
He pulled up after them.
I'm kind of just bank.
He's cheaper than Fournette.
And I'm like, well, he's better than Fournette.
So if he's healthy, it'll be great.
But do you think the Bucks can run in this game, whether it's Fournette or Jones.
How do you feel about the Bucks running game?
Yeah, I do think they can run.
And I think they'll probably try to run a good amount.
They, so Leonard Fernette had 17 rushes last week, 63 yards.
The reason I went with Leonard Fernette over, I had the same kind of thought process, you know, as you.
but I feel like Fournett is going to be more involved in the passing game.
He had six catches in a touchdown versus the Saints.
Rojo was really struggled in the passing game.
He has rocks for hands.
He can't catch the ball very well.
Rocks for hands.
I actually saw...
Can you imagine if he had rocks for hands?
So, yeah, Fournette had 17 carries last week.
Rojo had 13, but yeah, the big difference, again, is the targets in the passing game.
I saw from athletic reporter Greg Alman that he expects sort of a similar rotation at running back this week because Rojo's feeling better.
getting healthier, that quad is starting to feel better.
But I'm not expecting a huge game from Fortnite,
but I'm basically just banking on the idea
that he'll be used on third down,
maybe in the red zone type of thing.
Yeah, we both pick Cameron Brayt.
And then, Dekin, you pick Rob Gruncowski,
so we're all rolling with Buck's tight ends here.
Yeah.
Deacon, why'd you go Gronk?
Grunk?
I don't know.
There's actually not a super, like,
legit or logical reason to go with Gronk.
I do think he, I'm going off memory,
but I feel like he had two big plays go off his hands last week,
you know, just barely overthrown.
I believe one of them was in the end zone.
Might have been both.
Yeah, he almost caught that one in the corner of the end zone.
Yeah.
So he's still getting targets.
He hasn't gone off for a couple weeks.
But at the end of the day, when push comes to shove, I feel like Brady is going to go to his dude in this game.
You know, it's going to be a close game.
In theory, Brady and Gronk have both been there.
You know what I mean?
We've talked about this for weeks and weeks and weeks.
Brady always seems to be a little bit off or like not on the same page with his receivers.
You know, four or five games.
four or five plays per game.
It's like he like stares down his receiver.
Like he just insulted his mother kind of deal.
And so I don't know.
I'm just,
I'm hoping on in a high leverage situation.
Maybe it's like in the red zone.
Maybe that means late in the game.
He's going to look to gronk and they're going to dial something up
and he's going to get a touchdown.
So that's what I'm banking on.
Yeah, I think you're on to something with a tight end thing.
And you're totally right about the receivers.
I mean,
Godwin's got a broken hand and can't catch anything.
Antonio Brown's hurt.
And Mike Evans seems to get shut down every other week.
So the only thing that ruins my theory is
normally Gronk would be the
goal line essentially a
fullback type deal, but now
Evans is that guy for whatever reason.
I just want Gronk to be that guy this week.
Yeah. The only reason I went with Brayt was
besides being the cheapest. I mean, he led the team
in yards last week. He had 50 yards.
He said 50 yards or more
in three of his... Yeah, he did.
He said 50 or more yards
in the three of his last five games. And if you look
at passing snaps, who's playing more?
He's not out snapping Gronk in general
because Gronk is such a good blocker.
but in the last two games he's out snapped
Grunk by one snap in passing game
on passing snap so he's on the field a lot
when they throw the ball and I like that I'm gonna bet on it
yeah Brate's just better than Gronk at this point
like Gronk and Brady have the connection
and the history and Grank knows probably more
what Brady wants to do but Cameron Bray's
a better route runner and better receiver at this point
he's better at getting separation all that jazz
he's just he's got more juice
I heard somebody talk about the way Grunk plays now
and it's that he can still get a step
on somebody, but that's all he can get.
Like, he can only get one step on someone now.
That's a good way of putting it.
He's so big, though.
Like, it doesn't even matter.
And also, I think that it's interesting, we both pick the bucks that ends because the
bucks, I think, are better with 12 personnel.
They just seem to be better off.
And I think that Brady, for all to talk about the bucks receivers with Evans and
Godwin and Brown, I think that this 12 personnel, sorry, with two tight end sets,
this is their best offense.
And I think it's the one of Brady's most comfortable.
So they make sense.
Okay.
So who do you guys think?
this game. Bucks Packers.
Packers? Yeah, I mean, it's
I always feel
bad just going with the chalk
or whatever, but the Packers. I think the Packers are going
a Super Bowl. We'll see. All right, I agree.
That's really boring. That means the Bucks will win. Okay.
I mean, it's like Brady. It's Brady, though.
That's the thing. Even now,
I'm just like, anytime you want to bet against
Brady, you just feel like an idiot. So.
Well, that's why this is a cool game, is these are the two
quarterbacks that are the ultimate, like,
you bet against them in the plus, you feel like a moron
players, but. Yeah.
Okay. Showdown time. It is showdown time.
Oh.
So we actually have our first triple showdown, which is over Devante.
So is that what we want to do first?
Oh, do it first.
Well, we can't just do a regular gong for this. We have to do like a special gong, a mega gong.
Triple showdown.
Okay. So for Devante, all right, you guys ready?
So we'll go in order here. So the winner gets Devante and then the losers,
have to pick someone else.
But whoever's among the two people who get it wrong,
second place will get the first dibs on the player
and then last place gets last dips on the player.
The next replacement.
Okay.
Okay.
In the mega gong showdown triple time.
Mega gong.
This is from Cameron.
How many trees are on earth?
Oh, no.
Okay, this is one of those questions where I have no idea
how anyone figured out this number.
I don't know.
How would anyone know this?
They counted?
Google Earth counted all the trees.
The scientists.
I don't know.
How many of the people?
The scientists?
Yeah.
I'm guessing they guessed the tree density
and then did the area of land
that has trees covering it.
I'm guessing seven.
It's a lot.
Seven.
Seven trees.
While looking outside, I see about 10.
Let me just see some quick math.
This number couldn't be higher in my mind.
I feel like I can't guess high enough.
Yeah.
I'm going to be way off.
I'm going to say 20 trillion.
20 trillion trees.
Is that a thing?
Is that a number?
20 trillion.
That sounds like not a real number.
It's not what I was going to say.
It's probably going to be way too.
I don't even know if I'm high or low.
I'm going to say $700 billion.
Wow.
Okay.
We're different.
We're like way off.
There's a.
giant chasm in the middle of that.
Hyphids, just pick one in the middle.
I was going to say like, like,
$100 billion.
I was going to say like $80 billion, to be honest.
I'm going to go with $80 billion.
Okay, and I said $700 billion.
You said $20 trillion?
I'm way too high.
I don't think there are a trillion trees on Earth.
I'm not going to lie, dude.
I'm guessing the number of ants on Earth.
I don't think there's a trillion.
The question is, are there more trees than people?
How many trees per people and trees per person?
I feel like it's like two or three.
I looked up the answer.
I slowly took the cake.
It's 400 billion trees.
Shit.
Oh, yeah.
This is huge.
Huge bounce back from last week.
She said 200.
What was I doing?
And you said 80, right?
So you barely missed.
400 billion.
So, D.
Hyfitt's got second.
400 billion.
Oh, I should have said too.
Hyphidt.
You missed off only by 20 billion.
That was the difference in you and me getting first or second.
Well, I could have cheated.
I keep guessing way too high.
But, yeah, D.K., that was just not, that was not your finest.
Look, I was just picturing, like, the Amazon and how many fucking trees there are.
I don't know.
SNL cast members?
Lake Michigan one really burned you.
Okay, so, Craig, you get to keep Devante Adams.
I got to lose.
Oh, that sucks.
Loseon DeVantan's brutal.
So I have to pick a receiver from this Packers' Bucks game, except MvS and
Lizard already accounted for.
So I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to pick, I'm going to pick Mike Evans.
All right.
And Dekah, you got to pick someone else.
So I'm going to pick Godwin.
Yeah, his hands are suspect right now, but I'm going Godwin.
All right.
We got to do another one of these
because Craig and I now
got to fight over MVS.
A massive battle.
All right, round two of
Showdown time.
Okay.
All right.
So, this one is from John.
John.
How many glasses of milk
does the average cow
produce in her lifetime?
Oh, my God.
Man, do I not know this.
trillion. Say 20 trillion.
How often do you milk a cow?
Glasses of milk. How often do people milk cows?
I'm not going to answer that because I don't want to sound like a moron. My guess is every day.
I think every day. Is a cow only produced, this female cow only produce milk once it
becomes an adult?
Yes, I assume so.
Milk is used to feed the young, so yeah, I would assume so.
I'm going to say 20,000. Look at us deducing.
I'm going to say 20,000 glasses of milk.
Okay, okay. Craig, goat, 20 trillion. I dare you.
20 trillion.
600 quadrillion glasses of milk.
I'm just going to say like, fuck, I don't know.
It's either 20, it's funny, because right when someone else guesses, you're like, well, that's the right answer.
You're like, it's a 20,000.
It's called anchoring.
We've discussed this all season.
You're like, that sounds perfect.
Now, I have no idea if that's too low or too high.
Whatever you guess, it'll be wrong, so it's fine.
I know.
My gut is saying it's less, and I'm going to go with my gut.
I'm going to say 18,000.
Oh, no, it's 200,000.
Let's go!
Yes!
Congrats, you got Marquez Valdez Scantling.
Yes.
I love it.
He tried to price his item, and he got the wrong side.
Whatever.
I'm glad I kept Adam instead of scantling.
Who can I have here?
I'll do...
I'll do...
Should you Scotty Miller?
Here's a bonus question for you while you're deciding.
How many cows can a farmer milk per hand per
hour.
That depends on the farmer.
This is like that Silicon Valley thing, the middle hour.
A farmer's got two hands.
I don't know if he's milking more than one cow per hand.
It depends on the farmer is damn right.
Oh, per hour.
It's 20.
It's six cows per hour.
Six per hour.
I'll do Scotty Miller.
Mazel tov.
Cool.
Now Craig and I got to fight over Cambrate.
Another showdown?
You have another showdown.
Craig, give it a showdown time.
Oh my God. Okay.
Sounds spooky.
Oh, my God.
Ooh, this is a fun one.
Okay, so this is from Nial.
Nile.
Nile.
Nile.
How many hours was the longest domestic flight in the history of the world?
How many hours was the longest domestic flight in the history of the world?
And you get bonus points if you can tell me where it's to and from.
You're never going to get where it's to and from, but we'll try.
Domestic flight, so within one country?
Technically speaking, yes.
Okay, that's a weird thing to say.
17.
17, and it was in Russia.
I know, Russia was my first thought as well.
It's a weird thing to say, but okay.
But DK was like...
Oh, yeah, you said you'll never get it.
So that kind of...
Well, now I don't want to...
Right, but I don't know, maybe he meant you'll never get too many clues here.
I'm giving...
I'm letting the cat out of the bag a little bit, but yeah.
I have a theory about how this happened
but I'll let Craig go first.
I just don't know how it could be more.
16 hours and I'm going to say it's in
Oh shit. I'm going to say it's in
Brazil.
There had to be a reason it couldn't land.
It's not just like it was a long flight.
Like there had to be a reason it couldn't land.
Actually, I'm going to say it's in Canada.
I'm going to go Canada.
All right.
Well, you guys are really fucking close on the time.
Craig actually wins.
It's 16 hours or 20 minutes.
Oh my God.
You guys were 10 minutes off from like
tying.
Then we'd have to go
into a
sudden death showdown.
Let me make a case here.
Let me make a case here.
No.
Do we count time in the airport?
If
taxying.
But this is a situation
because it's a plane landing
that like you have to
you never mind, fuck it.
No.
Yeah.
Typhins you're not getting it.
Craig gets it.
You want me to explain it?
Yeah, go ahead.
Okay, so this is a flight
operated by Air Tahiti,
Newey.
was between...
Oh my God, I'm going to butcher this.
I'll just say the name of the place.
French Polynesia and Paris.
Technically, French Polynesia is a part of the French Republic.
So it was actually...
It occurred in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Wow.
Between French Polynesia and Paris.
16 hours, 20 minutes, considered a domestic flight.
Kind of interesting.
Good question.
That's not a domestic flight.
Niall.
It is.
counts.
That's so dumb.
I said technically speaking, you guys should have picked up on that that this was some sort
of, you know, like island.
All right, whatever.
Let's move on.
I got to pick someone else.
How are you mad about that?
You were 40 minutes off.
If you would have known that it was French Polynesia, would you have to get 16 hours?
I would have known.
Okay, so I guess I got to pick a new tight end here.
I got to pick freaking, I'll take Jay Sternberger because I hate myself.
God damn it.
This Jay Stermerger is even playing?
I don't even know.
He's injured.
I know.
He's inactive.
Great.
I don't even,
I should have just let you.
You got to grab Mercedes.
You got to grab Mercedes Lewis, I think.
Yeah, sure.
Great.
All right.
Mercedes Lewis is.
I freaking hate you guys.
All right.
Let's go,
let's go to Bill's Chiefs.
Yep.
That was the longest, like,
showdown in history.
A little too long.
Let's get into it.
Okay, DK.
Who do you,
we'll start with the Chief's offense.
Do you have any Chiefs players in this game?
I don't.
And that was like,
I was when I finished looking at my lineup,
I was like,
well,
that's dumb.
Of course,
let's be honest,
this is the fourth highest scoring offense
in this,
in the championship round,
which is just insane to think about.
No,
I do not,
which is really dumb.
So carry on without.
All right.
Well,
Craig, do you have any chiefs players?
Yeah,
I have Patrick Mahomes,
Travis Kelsey,
and Dorel Williams.
That makes sense.
I have,
yeah,
I have Kelsey and I have Dorel Williams,
too.
Great.
So we can fight about them.
And then I don't know if you count the Bills D as a Chiefs.
Like, I don't know what category that's in.
So you're, okay.
I actually have the Bills D too.
Yeah, I've got.
Oh, we all have the Bills D also.
So we'll put that, we'll do that in the Bills section.
How about it?
Okay.
Okay.
So how do you guys think this game goes?
Because the last time these teams played,
the Chiefs ran for 245 yards on 46 carries, both those numbers were that most in the
Andy Reed's career.
and so the bills,
what the bills did was they kind of played back
and they kind of let him run.
But I'm curious so you guys think
that this game goes this time.
Do you think they're going to try and do it again?
I mean, so basically the bills this year
have always invited teams to run.
They stack the box at the second lowest rate
in the league behind Arizona.
And they, like you said, Clyde Edwards Hilar,
160 yards when they played last time.
And the Chiefs, it's like,
I was listening to a podcast
and they were saying, like, well,
they can't do that again because, like,
they lost the game.
But they lost the game by like six.
Yeah, that's the,
that's the thing.
So I want to read a quote from Bill's defensive coordinator, Leslie Frazier, about he said last week,
but he was talking about the game of week six.
And he said, quote, we went into it saying, okay, they're not going to beat us over the top.
They were hitting so many explosive pass plays and they're still doing it to teams.
We just were not going to give up the explosive passes.
We said, okay, we're going to dare them to stay with the run game.
And lo and behold, they stayed with it and had a lot of success running the football, end quote.
And to your point, Craig.
They still held them to 26 points, which was like the second fewest.
the chief scored through Thanksgiving.
Like, they did keep them.
And also Josh Allen threw for like 122 yards.
If Allen plays a better game, they might have won.
So I don't think it's like they're going to throw out that plan.
I don't think that they're like, oh, well, that didn't work, so we'll let Patrick
Bumham's pass the ball.
And so to be clear that what they did was they had their safeties back 15, 20 yards
in every play, both of them, into high, linebackers back.
Patrick Mahomes said it reminded him of playing at Texas Tech, where they're just like,
yeah, fine, run as much as you want.
So, I mean, what do you think of that?
D.K. Like, do you get the sense that the bills would be wise to let the Chiefs run again?
Yeah, I do. I think if you're going to pick your poison, you know, it's not always, it's not binary.
It's not always as simple as that. But like, if you're going to force tendencies, if you're going to force teams to do, you know, what they're worse at, what's less efficient, less explosive, less dangerous, then yeah, you're going to want them to run.
I mean, if I'm picking between Patrick Mahomes's arm and Levi-on Bell's legs, who are you going to pick?
Well, my question to you, DK, is like, I mean, this is obvious, right?
If you're any defensive coordinator, aren't you saying that against the chiefs every single time you play them?
So can you succeed in doing it?
It makes sense that you want to, but like every team would theoretically want to do this.
Well, not every team wants to.
I mean, Dan Campbell, the Lions coach those just introduced.
What did he say in that press conference he gave?
Here, I'll play the clip.
So this team's going to be built on we're going to kick you in the teeth.
All right.
And when you punch us back, we're going to smile at you.
and when you knock us down, we're going to get up.
And on the way up, we're going to bite a kneecap off, all right,
and we're going to stand up.
And then it's going to take two more shots to knock us down, all right?
And on the way up, we're going to take your other kneecap,
and we're going to take three shots to get us down.
And when we do, we're going to take another hunk out of you.
Before long, we're going to be the last one standing.
All right, that's going to be the mentality.
That doesn't sound like a guy who said, yeah, let him beat us up in the run game.
I don't think that's what Dan Campbell's going.
saying he's bloodthirsty but you do what i'm saying like against my homes obviously the game plan
would always be like let's limit his passing let's make him run the ball but that i mean obviously
doesn't work right right is it's not it's not an either-or thing and if teams can run with success
then you start having teams come in and crowd the box a little bit start playing more two uh three high
stuff you know you want an eight-man box or whatever it's all fluid i think you know the chiefs could
potentially like force the bills out of that and that's like the goal is
to force the bills to like, you know,
finally come up and let them throw a little bit deep.
But the other thing is,
like,
the chiefs are also good at skiing up ways to beat cover too.
Like,
there's ways to beat,
you know,
seven-man coverage schemes.
And Mahomes is the master at,
you know,
finding the sweet spot in the defense.
Reed,
that's always been a big part of,
like,
their offense too.
Like,
Reed,
Mahomes over the last few years has had more open receivers,
more,
um,
what is the next-gen stat where you have,
like,
tight window throws?
like Mahomes doesn't really do that
as much as you'd think he does because he's always got
open guys. They're so good at scheming guys open.
So yeah,
it's definitely like that's a chess match.
And I think in theory that's how you want to attack a team.
But like they could definitely get you out of it.
It's once the game starts.
And to the point, TK, the chiefs,
the bills ran a lot of cover two in the red zone.
I think almost is more than any other team in the league.
And Kelsey's really good at that.
That's why I had him in my lineup.
But the key here is Patrick Mahomes.
Like, is he going to play?
You know, obviously he's in concussion protocol.
That's huge.
He had a foot injury.
I mean, he was hobbling around
even before he had that concussion.
And then, I mean,
even the concussion itself was odd.
Jake Lasers said after the game,
like maybe it wasn't concussion.
It was really weird.
It seems like he's treading toward playing,
but obviously Chad Henny would be a massive downgrade.
And for the Chiefs offense overall,
like, I mean,
doesn't need to be said,
but it needs to be said.
Like, a lot of this offense is about Andy Reed.
A lot of it's also that Patrick Holmes just pulls shit out of his ass.
Maybe that's not the best way.
Frazing.
But,
but Henny just can't do that.
And, well, do you think Mahomes' injury is mainly to his foot?
I think it's his toe, right?
Like, do you think that's going to change the way that the bills defend?
They didn't blitz once when they played the Chiefs in week six.
I think it could change if he can't scramble.
I think that they got to see how mobile he is.
And if he's not able to scrim.
Because, like, Mahomes, half the problem with Mahomes is he can extend these plays.
And he has such a good, he's like a basketball player.
And then he has such a good understanding of where everyone is around him,
that he always knows the right place to drift.
to just not get hit.
And so now not only do you have to cover Travis Kelsey and Tyrick Hill,
you have to do it for five seconds now instead of two and a half, which sucks.
And so if he can't do that as easily,
I think that that could change the bill's defensive plan.
But even then, Mahomes, who can't scramble is still better than Chad any.
Right.
And, you know, I grabbed Mahomes.
So we make these lineups without seeing who the other two of us had picked.
And I kind of had an inkling that nobody would pick Mahomes.
And so I was like, I'll take a free Patrick Mahomes.
Like, I know he's $9,000.
but like, I'll take a non-trivia showdown, Patrick Mahomes.
I'll bet on them.
You can't shy away from the showdowns.
That's just, I mean...
You're right.
I've kind of been hot this week.
And then, yeah, hyphids, you and I each have Kelsey,
which kind of goes without saying.
And then...
Good at football. Travis Kelsey.
And then we both have Derell Williams.
I mean, it's all up to Clyde's ankle.
I don't know if he's going to play.
It seems like a 50-50 shot right now.
If he does, that'll severely hurt.
Derell's game.
I believe Clyde is $2,000 more.
$200 more, excuse me, than Dorel Williams.
But, I mean, when Dorel played, he looks pretty good.
He got 17 touches. They totaled 94 yards.
Levy on Bell had played 17% of the snaps.
And if the bills try and force this KC run game to happen again,
I mean, Dorel is kind of just like the de facto benefactor of that.
Yeah, exactly.
I couldn't agree more, obviously, because I also have Derell Williams.
So should we showdown time over Williams and Kelsey?
Yeah, you want to do Kelsey up top?
Yeah, let's do Kelsey.
It is.
I don't even have any showdown time.
Time for showdown.
Oh my God.
I dig it. Hit us.
Who's the famous boxing guy who does that?
Let's get ready to rumble?
Michael Buffett.
And then his brother's discount Bruce Buffett.
And he does the, or as I like to call him, Michael Buffet.
I'm the worst version of Michael Buffett.
Fun fact about Michael Buffett.
When we went to Miami for the Super Bowl last year, he was in our hotel.
And I was in the hotel gym alone with Michael Buffett working at.
You should have him spot you.
That's an incredible story.
Two, three.
Oh my God.
All right.
You guys ready for this?
Yeah.
Yes.
I'm ready.
This is from Tyler.
Tyler.
How many quills does a porcupine have?
You know this answer.
Seven.
Is this a cheat?
No, I don't know.
How many quills does a porcupine have?
A needle hog, as they say.
Needlehog.
I had a friend that called that in college.
That's a poor nickname.
I can assume why.
I'm going to guess $20 trillion on this one.
It's definitely in the trillions, for sure.
How big is the porcupine?
Let's be honest.
Needle hog?
You know, 30 pounds?
Needle hog is kidding.
Yeah, you're right, actually.
Wow.
A female weighs 23.5.
a male can range 7.7 to 40 miles. I thought the question was about the quills.
It is. Well, we don't know. Yeah, you don't know the density of these quills either. I'm trying to give you guys a little bit of a hint, but I don't think it helps.
How is the weight of a porcupon? Who is doing this question by calculating quill per pound of porcupine?
No one said that. A savant.
Um, all right. I'm going to go with the volume. I'm going to go with.
It's ridiculous.
High Fitz, back off.
I'm going to go with 600.
Okay.
600.
Why is that funny?
It felt like a good answer.
I was just guessing higher like 20 trillion.
That's all.
And hyphids, you know what?
I'm going to give you as many porcupine facts as I want.
Don't stop.
No more facts right now.
He's guessing.
I already said my answer like minutes ago.
I said 200.
Oh, I didn't even hear that.
You said 200?
Minutes ago.
Oh, I literally missed that.
You two were talking about weight of porcupines.
You said 200.
Yes.
I said 600.
What is it?
I feel like this is a little more embarrassing than any of the other ones.
It's 30,000.
30,000?
200?
I kind of thought they were thick.
I thought they were thick boys.
I thought they were thick me.
I didn't know they were that.
Thick with two Cs.
This is from Wikipedia.
An adult porcupine has about 30,000 quills that cover all its body except for its underbelly face and feet.
Wow.
Suck it, High Fitz.
I'm even looking at a point.
porcupine right now and I'm like that's not
30,000.
I know, I'm looking at it too.
I'm not looking at the big ones on his back.
Yeah, quills are modified hairs.
So think about how many hairs you have on your head.
Whatever, man.
I mean, you guys have a little more hair on your head than I do, but still,
like 30,000 is,
that's just the average.
It might be more.
All right, so.
If it's your way off.
All right, whatever, man.
Unbelievable.
Okay.
Hyfitz, man.
So you can have.
So I just lost Travis Kelsey,
because I just said 200 quills on a porcupine.
Yeah, so you basically have
Dawson Knox and Jay Sternberger.
I thought for sure I was going to give.
I thought I was going to just hand that one to Hifitz
because I laughed at Craig's answer
thinking it was low.
I thought Hifitz was going to like
prices write him and go high.
Shit.
Sorry, Craig.
A fall from Grace for Hifitz from last week.
I know.
All right.
So that's the Travis Kelsey showdown.
Thank God.
I won that.
That's the biggest one of the day so far.
Kelsey to Knox drop is big.
Yeah.
This is like dawning on me
how much I just fucked all that up.
All right.
We got to do another one of these.
Derell Williams.
Showdown.
Time.
Time.
Craig can't remember it.
Showdown time, man.
All right.
So this one is from Cameron.
How many different kinds of apples
are grown around the world?
Fuck.
Dude, I don't.
1,200.
1,200?
Okay. I'm going to say
2000.
All right. Craig wins.
It's 7,500
varieties of apples are grown throughout the world.
100 varieties are grown commercially in the United States.
I didn't realize that's a lot.
What's up, boys?
I hate this game.
It's just no longer fun.
I love these trivia questions because they're like
actually...
Oh, you're fine. You can have Devin Singletary.
Oh, yeah, because they didn't hand the ball off to the two-minute warning.
Great.
He'll probably have a better game than Derelle Williams.
Fine.
I'll just take that.
How much money do you have left now?
$7,000.
Oh!
Which is almost enough to get Travis Kelsey.
This is not like the optimal way of doing it.
I don't think.
Okay, let's just switch the other side of the ball before I just blow a gasket.
I don't know what a gasket is, but it's going to blow.
What do you guys think about the bill's offense of this game?
I got, I got, I got Stefan Diggs and the bill's defense.
I also have Stefan Diggs.
All right.
I have Josh Allen,
Stefan Diggs,
and the Bill's defense.
I have Stefan Diggs
and the Bills defense.
All right.
So we have the Bills defense
not because we think
they'll stop the Chiefs
because they're the cheapest defense,
right?
Okay, so let's not spend any time.
Also, there's slightly a chance
that Chad Hennie plays.
That's true.
Right, exactly.
So forgetting the Bills' defense
for a second,
how do you guys think the Bills,
like Josh Allen Diggs,
they're related?
So how do you think
the Bill's offense
is going to do against the Chiefs?
So when we talk about the
championship around. The Chiefs actually have
probably on paper the worst defense
of the remaining four teams. Maybe I guess
you could say the Packers do, but
they're not like an elite defense put that way.
Josh Allen's balling out. They're passing
a lot. He still has that rushing upside.
I could see this game being a bit
of a shootout, though you guys did convince me
like the run thing is going to be interesting to see what the
Chiefs do. Allen
did fizzle out a little bit last week
of 12 and a half points, but
the four games prior to that,
he averaged 30 points.
six per game. So he was just like going scorched earth. I'm just hoping for that again this week.
The Chief's defense has some good like stars, but overall it's not like the best defense in the NFL or
anything like that. So I'm just going with that. Craig, what do you think of Diggs this week?
Yeah, I mean, it's hard not to go with Diggs. I mean, aside from Devante, he's been the guy the last,
I mean, the whole season really. And the Chiefs play a lot of man, which is what Josh Allen and Diggs
kind of specialize in. And if they play a lot of press coverage on Diggs, that's where he thrives as well.
so I don't know
I'm betting on the connection
the chemistry
if they're going to beat the Chiefs
they're going to have to score 30 points
you know
yeah I think
honestly I think the Chiefs
are going to have to play Zone this week
mostly just because
I mean so Josh Allen is like 25 touchdowns
against man to one pick
but against Zone
they have like 11 touchdowns
and eight picks or something like that
see that's another question I have for you guys
if a team is specializes
or is more comfortable
running one defense
but that defense does not
particularly bode well
for the opposing offense that they're facing.
Like, does it make more sense to switch
and do something you're less comfortable with
because Josh Allen's not as good at it?
Or do you stick with what you're good at
even though Josh Allen's better?
I think that's a really good question.
Two things.
One, whenever you say man versus zone,
it's generally oversimplified
because coverages are really freaking complicated.
But to the question, I mean,
it depends on the team and what the team wants to do.
So, like, the reason that we've always hear about this,
but it's true.
The Patriots change their gameplay
to week to week to what the other team does poorly.
But that's because,
the Patriots from the top down organization.
Like we want versatile players who are smart and capable of playing in multiple things.
We don't want people who do one thing.
And so they build a whole organization out of that.
So they're shape-shifters.
But not every team is like that.
There are some, like, I mean, Dika, you know, the Legion of Boom Seahawks.
They weren't changing up.
They were so good at their thing.
They're like, we're going to do this cover three defense.
We're going to, like, we're just going to be so good at that.
We're going to outplay you.
So really, I think it depends on whether the organization commits to being great.
at one thing or wants to be able to be versatile.
Yeah.
With the Legion of Boom, too, is such a...
They were just...
Earl Thomas used to talk about how everybody was tied on a string
and the communication was so key.
Like, the way that they move around in the defense together,
like, you know, when you're passing guys off,
all that stuff is very, very difficult from an execution
and communication in the game point of view.
It's just very, very difficult.
So, like, honing in on that and just getting really,
really good, locked in on that,
you could make the argument
they have a better chance of stopping a team
even if they're good against zone or whatever.
Then trying to change it all up
and have guys not picking up the guy
that they're supposed to pick up or whatever.
It's just like doing that on the fly
is difficult, which is why every, you know,
nobody, that's why not every team
can do what Bill Belichick has done
over the past 20 years and have this shape-shifting defense.
It's just not easy to do. You have to be really well coached.
But a team that is good at changing what they do
is the chiefs because Steve Spagnolo,
their defensive coordinator,
philosophically okay with changing up what they do from game to game.
And so I think they will play zone because here's the thing.
So the worst game Josh Allen had this season was that game against the Chiefs in week six.
And then the other worst game he had this season was the next week against the Titans.
And now both those games were kind of postponed to COVID reasons.
So there were a little more time for the defenses to prepare.
But those two games that Allen did terribly had a few things in common,
which is basically the defenses were like changing what they did.
post snap and like disguising coverages.
And I think that's one of the reasons.
Like Allen's gotten better this year.
But when you disguise stuff and you make him have to figure everything out,
like maybe that wouldn't confuse Tom Brady,
but it can confuse Josh Allen sometimes.
And when you think a middle linebacker is going to be in the middle field,
and then whoops, it's actually Tyron Matthew,
that can throw Josh Allen off.
And I think that that's what the chiefs are going to try to do this week.
When you guys talked about how the first thing that came to my head,
when you guys talked about how the Spagnolo and the Belichick-style defenses
are shapeshifters,
and then there's like the Legion of Boom
who are just really good at one thing.
So on the rewatchable
as we just did the Terminator
and the next one,
spoiler alert,
Bill's already said it,
is Terminator 2
coming next Monday.
So when you guys say,
the Legion of Boom style
who's just good at one thing
is like Terminator 1,
that's Schwarzenegger, right?
He's just one beast.
He does what he's good at
and that's it.
But Terminator 2,
you get the new guy,
the T-1,000.
He is literally a shape shifter.
He can change into anything.
Much harder to handle.
And that's the first thing
that popped into my head
when you guys said that.
So in this analogy,
it's so much harder to play the shape shifter.
Right.
Is that right?
Yeah.
Okay.
Got it.
I mean, because they could just stab you with his hand.
Did you see Schwarzenegger getting vaccinated this week?
Oh, yeah.
I saw like a thumbnail.
I didn't watch the video.
He said, come with me if you want to live.
Oh, yeah, right.
I saw that.
That's good.
You know what I never understood about the Terminator movies is like,
does the skin sack over the, like, the metal or whatever?
Like, does it age like a human being?
Is that why he's gray in the later movies?
I think that's because he's a real human actor.
I only saw Terminator 1 and 2.
Shut up, Danny.
I bet you they addressed it, but I have no.
I'm sure it was like, he wants to blend in or some bullshit answer.
Like the cells are still aging.
I guess that's why, but it's like hundreds of years or how many of years, like 20 years.
Yeah.
Doesn't time travel make it like you age less?
Like when astronauts go fast, like they age slower, not faster.
Oh, you're talking about the theory of relativity?
They're robots. I don't know.
I'm not a scientist, man.
This is like how many.
or on Earth. I don't know how many cells are in the Terminator skin sack.
Anyway.
All right. So we got a triple showdown here for Diggs and the Bill's defense.
We had two triple showdowns. Oh, yeah. Oh, my God. Okay.
Triple showdown time.
Big.
This is huge.
This is huge.
Some Griffin. How many acting gigs has Betty White had?
Oh, boy. So are we counting like Golden Girls as one gig?
Yes. Yeah.
IMD, like,
IMDB acting credits.
Okay.
Because I think Betty White
just turned 99.
Hey Betty,
come on the show if you want.
Shout out Golden Girls.
Stay Golden.
I saw this tweet actually
the other day,
like Betty White,
who played an old person
in a show like 30 years ago.
Still kicking.
Still kicking around.
Also, fun fact.
They shot a lot of Golden Girls
at Sunset Gower Studios
right where the ringer office.
Yes,
they did.
What?
Yeah.
Lives on.
That's amazing.
Yep.
I did not know that.
Acting credits of old Betty.
I'm going to say...
Actually, I've been always going first.
You guys go.
I say 70.
Well, I don't know why I went first
because I just got screwed
going first like many times.
I'm going to say 160.
Yeah, I was going to say 100.
I'm going right in the middle here.
121.
Oh, my God.
So DK wins?
Yeah.
High Fitz, what did you say?
70?
I said 70.
So I get second.
Dude, fuck this, man.
This is...
That's so fucking.
I love this. This is great.
Hifeitz is really getting screwed by this trivia.
So you get Diggs, D.K., that's huge. Congrats.
I'm going to take...
That's big for me.
So in the game here, so I can have
Cole Beasley or John Brown
and I take it, the other person will take the other one.
That's not that bad for you, Hyphus. We're going to get Beasley and Brown.
Cole Beasley got me a zero last week.
I'm going to go with John Brown.
Great, great. Cole Beasley, back to me.
Thrilling.
Oh man, I can't believe Craig's not picking Uncle Cole.
All right, I'm just backing out of the next one.
It's not a three-person showdown.
I haven't won a defense.
Screw it.
You guys can pick between the two.
You guys fight over it.
All right.
Okay.
Okay.
Wait, wait, wait.
It's time for the final showdown.
Okay, this is my favorite question anyone's email.
Any favorite question anyone's email thus so far.
And it's for the fucking Bill's defense?
What happens if we lose this?
The cheapest defense.
Yeah, if you lose the Bill's defense, you get a more expensive.
No, you don't get a defense.
Oh, you don't? Can you even submit something with a blank?
Yeah, you just get a zero. I don't know. We'll figure it. Okay. Fair enough. Okay.
This from Will. How much does a cloud weigh? Oh my God.
Unbelievable question.
Fuck you, Will.
This isn't going to like make us sound like real morons. Right. Right.
Because there's a world in which somebody says.
Who is out there like idiot? There's no much cloud ways. Moron. The question is how much is a cloud?
No what this answer is. How much does a cloud way? It's a world. It's a world. It's a
fucking floating. It doesn't weigh anything.
That's not true. That's
not how science works. I know, and that's
the problem. So to be clear. We're going to sound like morons.
Cumulus cloud, which is the pop, puffy
cottonball ones. We're not doing like thunder clouds.
Not like the puffy white ones in the sky. Okay.
Dude, I
I wish this is a cloud way. I'm going to
20 trillion pounds.
Are we talking pounds? Is that what we're doing?
Yeah, it's not kilograms.
Craig, do you want me to go
first. So it's just the average cloud. Aren't clouds really different? They vary greatly in size.
Yes, but it's the average cloud. There's a whole answer where the average cloud is.
D.K., do it at the same time? I have no fucking clue. Okay. Sure.
Three, two, one, 20 pounds.
Oh, shit.
That's what I'm saying 20. I don't fucking know. I'm going to say one pound.
Okay, I'll stick with 20.
I'm just going to go with the fact that they're fucking floating.
in the sky. The answer is
1.1 million pounds.
Oh, okay. This is
just doesn't make any sense.
This is one of those moments where I
understand the people who just realized
I have no, I don't know
what gravity is, I decided. I don't know
how the clouds work. The air, the air
under it's like a glass of water with oil in it.
I think I just became a flat earther.
It's not weightless.
How much is it? It's millions of pounds.
1.1 million. The average cloud
I think it's roughly like a kilometer or
and then it's about the density of the sky,
the density of the water vapor is,
you know, it settles into where it is.
So it's not,
the sky isn't weightless.
Yeah.
It's spread out.
Yeah, it's extremely spread out.
It's a cloud.
It's a cloud.
I feel like we're really not doing ourselves any favors
by having these trivia questions.
Well, shit, man.
We're getting like the heart.
How many gallons are in Lake Michigan is impossible.
All right.
I don't fucking know.
Physics, man.
Okay.
D.K. gets no defense.
Craig gets the Bill's defense against the Chiefs.
I'm not sure which is worse, to be honest.
All right.
Okay.
So let's go through our lineups and read how much you got left.
Let's crank through.
I have.
Show me what you got.
I have Aaron Rogers, Ronald Jones, Devin Singletary.
Oh, my God.
I've Cole Beasley.
Oh, my God.
Mike Evans.
Oh, no, I got Marquez Valdez Gantling still.
Thank God.
I have Dawson Knox at tight end instead of Travis Frickin Kelsey,
which is suboptimal.
for this week. And then I have Mercedes-Lewis at my other flex spot. Oh my goodness.
So how much, you how much money do you have left?
13 grand. Oh my. You have 13. Which is like Travis Kelsey and Dorel Williams.
I lost both those people. Oh my God. All right. What about you, Craig? I have $3,600
remaining. My team is Patrick Mahomes, Dorel Williams, Jamal Williams, Devonte Adams, John
Brown, Scotty Miller, Cameron Brate, Travis Kelsey in the Bills D.
Okay, so I've got
5,700 bucks left.
I have Josh Allen, Leonard Furnett,
playoff Lenny, Aaron Jones,
Chris Godwin, Stefan Diggs, Alan Lazard,
Rob Garankowski, Tyler Johnson,
and I'm defenseless.
Wow, DK's team is pretty good too.
This sucks, I hate this.
So the loser through the Super Bowl is going to have to do the 666.
I don't know, we'll figure it out.
Oh, my God.
You'll figure out once I lose it.
I mean, I have a huge lead on you guys, but yeah.
Oh, my God. Okay.
All right.
Well, that's all we got.
Although we didn't, who do you guys think wins Chiefs Bills?
I'm going Chiefs, but I feel pretty strongly that I don't know.
Fuck it, I'm going to say the Bills.
Yeah.
All right, glad we can get those concrete answers.
All right, I'm saying Chiefs.
All right.
Thank you, D.K., thank you, Craig.
Thank you to Clouds.
I don't know what we would do without you.
Thank you, Lorne.
Lord.
D.K., say the song.
Oh, shit.
The final countdown, D.K., you know the band.
Oh, yeah.
Europe.
Yeah.
Thank you, ever for listening.
I don't know why I can't remember to do that.
Me neither.
We'll see you guys on Monday.
