Email the power hour or sorry, email fantasy courts for power to ringer fantasy football at gmail.com. We're going to go through our players, but without further ado, just going to hit some news real quick. Right off the top.
Starting point is 00:01:49 I wanted to mention, I mean, Daniel Jones is probably going to get benched by the Giants. I'm thrilled. That's all. The hallelujah, thank God. Drew Locke's probably going to play because if Daniel Jones gets hurt, that's like $25 million more bucks the Giants owe in which, you know what? Cool. I assume you guys are ready for Daniel Jones to never play into football again, right?
Starting point is 00:02:08 I've been ready. He's going to be a really frisky fun backup next year. He's going to be the guy when like, you know, whoever gets hurt, C.J. Stratt will get hurt, and Daniel Jones will come in and come back and with him. in a game and everybody would be like, man, Daniel Jones, should he get another shot? I'm excited for that era. Yeah, it's going to be like Sam Darnold
Starting point is 00:02:23 for a few years here where people think it's like a thing and then it's not a thing. I'm kind of excited to see Drew Locke. Why not? It's funny because he's Daniel Joe, it's just like they're the same. They're just at opposite ends of the circle right now where Drew Locke is in backup mode and he'll come in and play well. We'll be like,
Starting point is 00:02:41 does Drewlock deserve a shot? And then he'll get a shot next year and suck. And then the cycle repeats itself. Drew Lock's a different kind of bad because, I mean, he's just like taking deep shots. And I don't know. I don't think he's got a ton going on up there either quite frankly. Remember that Seahawks game with him and Gino and they were viving? And Gino was like the meme of Gino who was a backpack. Yeah. That's why the Giants signed Drew Locke is from that game.
Starting point is 00:03:01 That's what happens. Just I'm saying. Like Daniel Jones in two years is going to have a Drewlock like comeback game, which will then earn him a job as like the stop gap on a shitty team. It's an endless cycle. He played pretty poorly. Drewlock did against the Eagles when he got to play this year. But yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:15 anyone but Daniel Jones, just please lose out New York Giants. The only other news I wanted to hit before we got to the waivers was just the Matt Everflus, the Bears Head coach, had this radio interview where his phone kept going out
Starting point is 00:03:26 on the radio, and they're trying to be like, do you want to take any responsibility for this crisis in Chicago? And he's like, oh, yeah, sorry, you're, uh, uh, yeah, no, I mean, we're doing good. And it just cuts out.
Starting point is 00:03:39 You think he was faking it? I'm going into it. Tunnel, right? Tunnel. You know what's funny is that radio guy Everyone in first of all Everybody in Chicago is so fucking mad Yeah the radio guy
Starting point is 00:03:53 The radio host or whoever was like Doing the call with him After Aberfleus cut out he was like It's 2024 can we get a landline And I was like that doesn't make any sense That's not that doesn't make any sense No one has a landline
Starting point is 00:04:05 Can we get a fucking landline? It's 2024 I was like that Can we get a fax? Get a fax machine Yeah he was pissed that guy, that radio guy. I don't know anything about Chicago radio. Yeah, there was a couple call-ins that also went viral last night
Starting point is 00:04:22 of people calling into Chicago radio and just going on rants about Matt Everpluse in this entire offense. Local radio remains some of the best content out there. Yeah. Have you guys ever pretended to drop a call with anyone, including any, like me? No.
Starting point is 00:04:41 No. Never? I got nothing to hide. Have you? You? Sounds like you have. I think I did it to my parents probably a couple times. I've definitely not picked up the phone. Are you like pretending?
Starting point is 00:04:53 You're doing the thing where you pretend to cut out. Do you think you can do that well enough to pull it off? Well, you just stop talking, don't you? How hard could it be? Do you think he actually dropped the call on the radio? Do you think you purposely went to who plays those signal? Or do you think it actually just coincidentally cut out three times during a radio interview give to the most humiliating.
Starting point is 00:05:16 It's a coincidence. I think it was a coincidence. I think bad signal is still pretty common in this country. That does have like a curb your enthusiasm element to it. Like the plane airplane Wi-Fi. Yes. Extremely unreliable. Like if I go in my bathroom and close the door, my signal's terrible.
Starting point is 00:05:31 Like it's still. We still a way to go. Cement walls. Yeah, there are dead spots in my house, like my parents' house. Like just what room you're in like really affects whether you can take a call or not. Yeah. So, you know, get this man a landline. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:45 Get him a landline. 204. Get him a landline. Honestly, one of the funniest moments of the history of the show is when Craig just had a landline ring behind him during the draft show. Oh, my God. Like the land, Craig, the phone just recirculate that video. My in-law's house, yeah. You got Liz's parents' house on the phone just rings. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:06:04 I think we've had some really good technology arguments in the history of the show. The plane, Wi-Fi, iconic, D.K. Hakes, Bluetooth. There's been a lot of good stuff. Hate Bluetooth. The only other thing we haven't hit is, I feel like the, the, there's one technology that has alluded to every generation. And it's the printer. There's no generation that feels great about how to fix a printer.
Starting point is 00:06:23 Yeah. Or how to connect with one. Oh, my God. It's a mess. It's way more complicated than it should be. It's super complicated. I mean, it's so bad that I still sometimes, if I, for some God knows reason, needed to print a bunch of stuff,
Starting point is 00:06:36 I'm still probably just going to go to a FedEx and have a person do it for me. Like, that's how hard it is. Rather than me try to do it on my own, I would actually still drive to a physical brick and mortar store in 2024 and pay some person to print something out for me. I have a printer. But like if it goes on the, if it goes on the fritz,
Starting point is 00:06:55 are you like, I got this or you're like, oh no. Oh, hell no. I don't know how to fix a printer. Also, printer remains. I barely know how to change the ink cartridge.
Starting point is 00:07:03 That's what I was going to say. Printer ink remains also like one of the most expensive things on this earth. Oh, no, knock off stuff. Well, you're buying ink out of a trunk, like the meat from Leangelo balls. Guy opens up his like trench coat.
Starting point is 00:07:19 He's got all kinds of, every kind you need. No, it's just on Amazon. Just don't get the name brand. Just don't get like the whatever canon or whatever the printers are. Just get the ibuprofen, not Advil. 100%.
Starting point is 00:07:32 All right, let's get to waivers. Weird, another weird week for waivers. I don't know. There's a little bit more juice in a few areas, but still pretty slow. Let's get, DK, who's your number one running back out on waivers after week done? Can I go with Adrick Estime, the running back for the Broncos,
Starting point is 00:07:48 who out of the blue had 14 carries for 53 yards was the number one running back for the Broncos. Don't know if this is going to last, but I feel like you have to take a chance that it will. And so he would be my number one priority right now. Craig, same for you? Yes, he played 82% of the snaps, which was the highest from a Broncos running back this season. Javante Williams kind of becoming the passing down guy, I guess now. They were winning the game. Maybe it was game script dependent, but clearly,
Starting point is 00:08:12 they like Estimate and they want to see what they have in him. Yeah, I had Estimate too. I mean, first of all, incredible name. Kind of sounds like a spy. Audric Estime. It's pretty sick. Two, went to Notre Dame, which I just think it's funny because he went to the real one, Notre Dame University.
Starting point is 00:08:26 And then they have on this team, Jolome McLaughlin, who briefly attended Notre Dame College. And I wonder if they talk about that because I think that's hilarious. But yeah, I mean, I think Audric Estimate is the guy. Like, he's a rookie. And again, Giovante Williams is a free agent at the end of the season. And I very much think Sean Payton, he's thinking about. he's thinking about the future.
Starting point is 00:08:43 And I don't think Sean Payton wants to resign Javante Williams. I mean, Javonte hasn't been particularly effective either. No, he's been bad. And also, I think the last straw was the... He fumbled, didn't he? Yeah, well, the Broncos Ravens game, I know it ended up being like 42 to 10 or whatever. It wasn't very competitive. But like, when it was competitive in the first half,
Starting point is 00:09:01 there was like a fourth and two that was a pretty good play call. And Giovante Williams kind of got the ball and he got tackled short of the sticks. And it was kind of like, your whole thing used to be like running hard. And he just kind of like let him, it's not arm tackled, He didn't really fight for it. And it was like, I don't know, if you were watching James Conner, he never would have gotten tackled short of the sticks.
Starting point is 00:09:15 And I think that that was like the final ick. And I think that was, that moment was kind of the end of Jonathan Williams as the Broncos running back was just being tackled short on a fourth and two. And yeah, so I think Estimates totally the guy going forward. Yeah, I mean, we talked about a couple years ago, it was Jerich McKinnon who took off at the final third of the season and changed fantasy seasons. You never know.
Starting point is 00:09:35 I mean, like, Audrey Estimate could be a guy where if you get him this week, he could be the starter on a good, an assessment. sending Broncos team and could actually be a starter for you going forward. So I do think him more than anyone else has the most upside
Starting point is 00:09:46 by far. I was just checking Javante's PFF grade. He's right next to Zechiel Elliott. Zeke Elliott number 91 out of 100. Who was a healthy scratch
Starting point is 00:09:57 two weeks ago and then Zeke Elliott this week after bitching about not playing and getting left behind in the team playing first carry. I think first carry this week
Starting point is 00:10:06 for Dallas and he fumbles at the one yard line. Into the end zone, yeah. Into the end zone. He did the fumble your phone and kick it. Yeah. The fumble went flying.
Starting point is 00:10:20 Okay. So, Audrick Estime all around. Yeah. All right. It is the Audric Estime. What a fun name. Showdown time.
Starting point is 00:10:33 I like preemptively hate this question. Why? He just feels it. I just feel that. He had a premonition that this is going to suck. Oh, well, this is from Tony. Tony. Anthony.
Starting point is 00:10:51 How many total cigarettes has the golfer John Daly smoked in his career during PGA tournaments? How are we, where are we fighting this number? I think that he did a calculate, I think that he calculated it based on John Dilley's estimates of how much he smoked cigarettes. He's just ripping lung darts the entire 18 holes. How many do they play? Wait, wait. They play 18 in a day plus three days or something like that. I think that it's his, I think that's, yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:14 How much, this is over his entire PGA career? Entire PGA career. And so, D.K., if you make the cut, that's four days of the tournament. If you don't make the cut, that's two days. And they're probably playing, I don't know, 20, 25 tournaments a year. I was going to say, these are not just majors. These are all PGA tournaments. All PGA tournaments.
Starting point is 00:11:28 And he's been golf for like 25 or 30 years. So how many cigarettes has he smoked during tournaments? How many was he ripping? That's so cool. Where's the first T? What's the course record? Is he doing like one dart per hole? I'm not a smoker. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:11:47 It's definitely a pack around. It's definitely a pack around. I don't even know how much... I don't even know how many of a pack either, yeah. It's 12, isn't it? There's a 20. No idea. They really eradicated this for a generation.
Starting point is 00:12:00 Got a pack in 18 is... There's 20 and a pack, according to... 20? Probably a dozen. So he's basically doing like a Sega hole. Dude, that's fucking crazy. No, he's probably doing 100 a weekend.
Starting point is 00:12:14 All right. I feel like we're overthinking it here. All right, fine. We got to just guess. Hold on. Hold on. 20. Oh, okay. Now you're trying to do the math in your head really quick.
Starting point is 00:12:23 Yeah. What's the... I had a number in my head before Craig started saying it, so sorry if we end up with the same thing here, but... Three, two, one. $100,000. 20,000. Oh, I also said $20,000. Okay, do you want the over or the under?
Starting point is 00:12:37 Over. All right. I was thinking 20 the whole time here. I was like $1,000 a year? I checked between $20,000 and $25,000. says he smokes 21 sigs around. So it's a little under 35,000
Starting point is 00:12:54 Ziggler. For John Daly. It's a lot. And that's just when he's playing golf. I know, right? That's his active portion of the day. That's what he's exercising. Awesome. He's like unkillable.
Starting point is 00:13:09 Wait, so who won? Who won that? So Craig guessed over 20,000. What did you guess have it? 100. I was way off. So Craig, you get Andre Astimeag, D.K. who do you pick next? Yeah, this is a tough one.
Starting point is 00:13:22 The rest of them are just stash-type players or Gus Edwards for the Chargers who came back off of an injury. He only played... He looks fresh to me. Yeah, he looked more like the old Gus Edwards of old in this game. Ten rushes for 55 yards.
Starting point is 00:13:36 He's running downhill really hard. He only played 24% of the snaps, but he did get 10 touches to 18 for Dobbins. So 27% rush share worth 41% for Dobbins. So there's definitely like a, you know, a timeshare here or whatever rotation. I think Gus Edwards I'll go with just because he has like sort of a flex with benefits type situation. If Dobbins gets hurt, Gus could be the starter. They also have Haskins there who's like the third guy.
Starting point is 00:14:01 Yeah, Kamani Vidal, who I liked because I thought he had usurped Gus Edwards. I think you can cut him because looking at Gus. He was a surgery in a day. He was never healthy. Yeah, he was never healthy for August. Gus Edwards was. And then he was, didn't look healthy into this season. This was the first game that he looked healthy as a charger.
Starting point is 00:14:15 So I think Dobbins and Gus will dominate this backfield until anything happens to them. Yeah, I'll go with Gus best. Okay. And then I'll just run it back. I mean, Brail and Allen for the Jets, if he's available or like Blake Corm for the Rams, again, boring.
Starting point is 00:14:28 Like, they're not going to get a ton of yards for you right now, but if you're a winning team and you want to, like basically who, taking a dark door who might be the best waiver red going forward if there's an injury. Like, I still think Blake Corman, Braylon Allen. But like, again, it's, frankly, not a lot of running backs getting hurt.
Starting point is 00:14:42 Not a lot of things to make money off of. Honestly, like, even Aaron Jones and Sequin are banged up this week. They go back in the game. Like, you know, there's not a lot going on. Like, if Aaron Jones anything happens to him, I think Cam Acres is the backup there. But frankly, like, I think they define anything for fantasy the seasons.
Starting point is 00:14:55 The receivers are hurt and the running backs have been pretty healthy. It's kind of crazy. Yeah. The only other guy I would throw out who's on buy next week, but I think has looked better and better every week as the rookie Trey Benson on Arizona. Yeah. If James Connor has a history of getting a little banged up every year and he runs so damn hard, you can see why.
Starting point is 00:15:11 But, yeah, I just think Carls are a good team. Going to be in good game scripts, It's going to be in competitive games every week, and Trey Benson just looks good. Yeah, he's been much more effective. Early on, he was, I think, not seeing it correctly. He looked terrible in the preseason. He was not playing very fast. I think he was just, like, you know, thinking too much.
Starting point is 00:15:26 Now he's definitely, I think, ingrained in the offense a little bit better. He's looked better. And also, if the Cardinals are winning, they do lean on him a little bit. So you have to look at, like, the game script and stuff. But he had 10 carries in this game because they were leading by so much. D.K., who's your number one receiver after week 10? I'm going to go with Ricky Pearsall for the 49ers. Obviously, if Juan Jennings is still out there, I would get him instead over, over Pearsall.
Starting point is 00:15:49 But I think Pearsall has looked pretty good so far with the opportunities that he's gotten. He played 62% of the snaps in this last game, 17% target rate, four catches, 73 yards and a touchdown. Obviously, that big, he like stiff-armed a guy and ran it in for a touchdown. He was third on the team in routes. So he's still clear number three behind Juan Jennings and Debo. But you also have to contend with like Kittle getting a good chunk of target. And McCaffrey, I know it's tough. He's like more or less the fifth target on this team.
Starting point is 00:16:19 Yeah. But like the other options to me aren't that exciting either. So I'm just going to go with like the first round receiver who might have a good second half of the year. And Perthel is the most fun story to have a bitch. You know what I mean? Yeah, he literally got shot and came back. Crazy story. Which we, I thought we have a rule.
Starting point is 00:16:35 No guys who get shot. Yeah. Yeah, that's true. You get shot in the chest. Maybe if you get shot in the leg. Getting shot in the chest is better than the leg, we're saying? Yeah. It's a cooler story.
Starting point is 00:16:47 Yeah, okay. Cooler? Are we judging, we're ranking the coolness of where you get shot? They're different. How about that? Kind of. Yeah. Power hour tomorrow, we'll rank for the best areas to get shot and live.
Starting point is 00:16:59 Taintel got grazed on the arm. You know what I mean? Like, that's not the same thing. Like Trump took it through the ear. Is that cool? Yeah. Is it cool to get shot in the ear? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:17:07 I think that's fair. It's like, you know, they're all different places. Join in live tomorrow. We'll rank that. Yeah. We're going to rank places. I don't know. I'm on the fence here.
Starting point is 00:17:15 Part of me is just like, I don't know, should I just take like 80 Mitchell or Alec Pierce who delivers kind of? I kind of think I'm going to take Alec Pierce for the Colts because I just look at Alex Pierce. You guys are just asking to be disappointed, I feel like. Dude, Alex Pierce, four games. The Flacco thing,
Starting point is 00:17:32 indeterminate amount of time, Flacco's going to be started. But it kind of doesn't matter because he's produced with Flacco and Richardson because they both take shots to him. I think it's the other way around. I think Anthony Richardson will play, and that's why I want Alec Pierce.
Starting point is 00:17:41 I mean, Anthony Richardson showed up to a practice with the Alec Pierce shirt. Flacco's already been announced as the starter for next week. By the way, you know who the Colts are playing next week? They're playing the Jets. Yeah. That is going to be an all-time disgusting game. It's gross.
Starting point is 00:17:54 Jets, Flacco Rogers. I agree. I think Alec Pierce, again, to me, is, again, he's boom-bust. But that's kind of the point. I'm increasingly kind of fine with sticking someone in your lineup and might get four or five points because Alex Pierce is one of the few people that you can point at and be like, yeah, if he gets 22 points, you're going to be surprised at this point? No.
Starting point is 00:18:12 And I know, he scored that touchdown with like, two seconds left in the game. It was garbage time. But the point is, both quarterbacks who play for the Colts are throwing Alex Pierce. I don't know. At some point, we have to accept that,
Starting point is 00:18:22 like the team, the quarterbacks of the team like him a lot more than like the spreadsheets did entering the season. I don't know. If he was a player that we liked entering the season, Ricky Pearce saw, I don't know. If Alec Pierce's stats went to like any other receiver that we liked,
Starting point is 00:18:35 Roma Dunese, we would be saying add Roma Dunese. You know what I mean? It's a fair point. I think it's a very good point. You like him more than Ady Mitchell? I love 80 Mitchell. Mitchell had six catches, 71 yards.
Starting point is 00:18:46 I think the big deal is, like, is Michael Pittman out for a while? Or is he just coming back next week? If Pittman's back, I feel like neither Pierce nor Mitchell is worth starting. All I know is that Michael Pittman said that he should go on injured reserve for the back injury, didn't, and then was like caught a touchdown. And they were like, is your back fixed? He's like, hell no, I still might go on injured reserve. Like, I don't think Michael Pittman's going to be Michael Pittman for the rest of this year.
Starting point is 00:19:06 At this point, just pack it in for now. Nothing about playing in the NFL fixes your back until you stop the season. Like that's an off-season problem. So I don't know. Alec Pierce produced when he was with... And again, I'm not saying Al-Pierce is definitely going to be awesome. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:19:19 I think that there's... At some point, I'm going to give up on my... So you guys... Do you want to do an Alec Pierce showdown? I think I'm going to take... Yeah, we can do it because if I lose, I'll just take A.D. Mitchell, and I'm happy with that. I love A.D. Mitchell, too.
Starting point is 00:19:33 And again, this is hilarious because then the cults are going to have, like, 120 passing yards. And I'm going to... This is the dumbest thing you've ever done. Okay. Let's all do it, though. We'll all do the trivia for whichever Coltswide receiver you want, the Coltswide receiver of your choosing.
Starting point is 00:19:48 It is the Coltswide receiver room. Showdown time. This is from Chris. Yeah, this sucks. Trivia question. This is from Chris. Christopher. Christopher.
Starting point is 00:20:03 How many 12-ounce beers can the Stanley Cup hold? Ooh, good question. That is. Stanley Cup's the best trophy. Hey, Hyvitz. These have been fun. Thanks. TK, you have to admit, these have been good trivia questions.
Starting point is 00:20:14 Yeah, they have. Okay. If we just make all this, the trivia about smoking and drinking, yeah. John Daly's the man. If you ever seen that video of him walking up to a clubhouse
Starting point is 00:20:25 and he's like, where's the first T, what's the course record? He's just the best. Dude, what a legend. What a legend. He's such a legend. Has there been a John Daly documentary?
Starting point is 00:20:34 I don't know, but there's a whole YouTube lore for John Daly just because, you know, all those, like, memes are like, you know, the CEO, you know, the CEO, die, wake up at five, you know, know, like meditate, exercise.
Starting point is 00:20:47 And John Daly is like literally the exact opposite. Yeah. Just like crushing 12 Diet Cokes and two packs of cigarettes every single day. He's teed off just smoking a heater, right? Like just in his mouth, teeing off. For sure. And then his son and him have a co-NIL deal with Hooters. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:21:04 His son and his son's a college golfer and has an NIL deal with Hooters with him. I will say, I do think there is a sweet spot with golf. Like two to two to four drinks, I'm at my best. Yeah. It's like pool. I'm so much better at pool when I'm a little buzzed. A little loose beer pong, same way. You're thinking about it?
Starting point is 00:21:20 Yeah. Clear-minded. Damn, should we power rank the best sports to play buzzed? That's also good. Yeah. Okay, how many beers can fit in the Stanley Cup? Stanley Cup's big, dude. I've never seen it, really.
Starting point is 00:21:35 Don't never see it. I'm not a hockey fan. I've never seen it in person. You know, you're seeing photos here. It's pretty big. Are Benita fish big? Yeah, I'm like, I can't actually picture how big. big it is if somebody were to hold it.
Starting point is 00:21:48 Fuck. Okay, I think I have an idea. I think I have a number in my head. All right. Nice. Three, two, one. 36. I said 100.
Starting point is 00:22:01 Maybe too high. A hundred? I just pictured how many 12 packs could I put in the cup? Craig, what did you say? That doesn't help because I still don't know how big the cup is. I'm going to go, I said 40. I said 36.
Starting point is 00:22:14 36. Okay. The answer is 23. Oh, that's it. I was thinking it's way bigger than that. I mean, I was like half a keg. I mean, you were one whole 12 pack off there. Well, you were more.
Starting point is 00:22:28 But you know how big it is. Clearly, I don't. There's a 165 cans of beer and a keg. It is such a better tradition than any of their sport, the idea that every player gets it for a week and they parade it through their like small 5,000 person letter can of town in Canada. And they just bring it.
Starting point is 00:22:44 they do whatever with it, but also that thing's probably seen some shit. A TEDDK has 165 beers, right? I just Googled the Stanley Cup. It's so much smaller than I thought. Yeah, see. The cup cup is like tiny. Oh, yeah. The Stanley Cup is like...
Starting point is 00:22:57 The like base is massive. I was just picturing like, okay, what's a K? Well, who decides were the bases? That's true. Yeah, now I see why I was so off. This is like tiny. It's a little bitty thing. So the cup part of,
Starting point is 00:23:14 as big, but why don't we do that with other trophies? Like, wouldn't it be more fun for, like, there's 53 guys in an NFL team? Like, they should give the Lombardi to, like, everybody who was on that team for a week. Yeah, I agree. I had a completely incorrect image of what the Stanley Cup looked like in my head. I thought it was kind of just like a massive chalice. I thought it was big, clearly. What was the answer?
Starting point is 00:23:38 24? 23. 23. Okay. It couldn't even get to a 24 pack? Come on. You know that game where you try and pour as much liquid into a cup without it overflowing? I bet you could get a 24th into there.
Starting point is 00:23:49 We got to do that. We should. We should do it with the Stanley Cup. Oh, that's a good idea. Do you know the Stanley Cup is a full-time employee? There's just a guy who carries it around all the time with he wears like white gloves. What do you mean? He carries it around.
Starting point is 00:23:59 The Stanley Cup bearer. Like his whole-time job is he's just in charge of like the Stanley Cup. It doesn't just sit in a case all year? No. No, this is what I've been saying. When you win the Stanley Cup, every player gets the Stanley Cup for a four. full week. So the guy just stays in the house with the,
Starting point is 00:24:17 with the players? No, like you do whatever the fuck they want with it. They bring it. But this guy's in charge of the cup and he brings, and then during the season, there's a guy who's like in charge of it all the time and he brings it places and like, like it's this whole job.
Starting point is 00:24:28 But like every player gets the cup for a week in their house and they have, and it's insane. Didn't we have a, like a prompt for people like the weirdest most specific jobs or whatever? Yeah. This is something I want to do it more of. So the team, every player in the team.
Starting point is 00:24:43 team gets it, and then they have to give it back by the time the next season starts? Yeah, give it back to your teammates. But yeah. But yeah, I think, but that's the point. The fact that there's one cup is so much cooler. But you have to give it back to the NHL, right, when the season starts? Or how does that work?
Starting point is 00:25:00 I don't know when they have to give it back. I don't know. It would be funny. I'm sure there's a lot of ghosts right now who are yelling, who love hockey. Emails at ringer fantasy football at g-gumel.com to explain our ignorance and the stater of the cup. I have watched less than three full hockey. games in my life. Playoff hockey is the best sport. Playoff hockey is actually like a drug.
Starting point is 00:25:18 And if you go to a playoff hockey game, it's the only sport where no one's on their phone at any point. That's because the puck is so goddamn small. You had to be watching the whole time just to see where it is. That's my biggest issue. I genuinely cannot see the puck when watching hockey. I think it's like a massive issue. That's my puck, baby. Like, you don't know when they score a goal until the light goes off. Like, isn't that weird? I just wait for the light to go off and I know if they scored. That's not great design. I mean, once you think about, I mean, you start pulling on that thread, and it's like you have 65-year-old men, like, deciding with a chain whether Zach or it's got a football or got a first down or not, you know? I just think it's weird. I guess that's like, we don't know what it catches and you have to, like, zoom in.
Starting point is 00:25:55 But it's just weird that I'm like, did it go in or not? Oh, the light's red. I guess it did. Well, that's what the light is for. I'm sure. And again, if you don't know what's on a ghost or, I mean, it's because podcast we realized. That's what the light is for. That's true.
Starting point is 00:26:07 I mean, you can't refute that. I just try and figure out where the puck is until the light goes on. And then I'm like, oh, somebody's scored. Well, this is, this reminds me of like when you're watching football, it's wild to me that you don't see all the players on the field at any given time. Yeah, that's probably. It's like too zoomed in. I'm like, you can't tell what the fuck is going on.
Starting point is 00:26:23 The Amazon Prime Vision, where they just have that angle that's like slightly more zoomed out and you just see the safeties. It's like completely different. And I'm like, no one knows what safeties are doing like the whole game. I know what you're doing back there. Just hit the little 0.5 and you zoom out. And you're like, oh, like just do that with all the broadcasts. It's crazy.
Starting point is 00:26:39 What I do love with hockey highlights, like SC Top 10 are so. funny because it's slow-mo. They got the good camera angle. You can see the guy going through his legs and going right around the goalie. That's awesome. I just can't fucking get, I can't keep up with it live. I needed slow-mo.
Starting point is 00:26:53 Again, I know that we have a lot of new listeners. We call pot and people yelling at us ghosts because someone told us once that the closest you'll ever come to being a ghost is listening to a podcast where they don't know the answer to something and you do and you're yelling it and they can't hear you. And that's like, so anyway, I know there's a lot of ghosts. Email,
Starting point is 00:27:08 email, if you're infuriated by this hockey conversation. Anyway, what the hell are we talking about? Someone gets a receiver. Who are we talking about? I took here one. Oh, sure. You get Ricky Peresal.
Starting point is 00:27:21 To be clear. Oh, no. High if it's won. I won. I guess way too high. I won. So I get Al-Piers and D.K. And D.K.
Starting point is 00:27:28 gets Ricky Parasol, who I also like. And then, Craig, you get 80. Metshal, I guess you're basically saying. Yeah. Okay. So then other receivers, I would shout out John Metschi for the Texans, but realistically, Nico Collins is probably going to come back soon. So I don't think you want to be betting on John Metchy, even though he, I mean,
Starting point is 00:27:41 very. awesome story. He had cancer his first season and it's really awesome that he's playing. Xavier Leggett for the receiver for the Panthers, five catches, 74 yards a touchdown. And Coker. That was what John Metschie did. But Xavier Ligat, once again, just pronouncing German words and eating German food. There's no more entertaining player in the NFL than Xavier Legat. Can I throw Mike Williams out there? Of course. Yeah. Of course. He only played 12% of the snaps and ran seven routes in this last game, but obviously they just traded for him. So he was just ramping up. I think eventually,
Starting point is 00:28:12 he's going to be the number two next to he needs to take over Van Jefferson's role in order to be rolling. Are all of us just looking at Marquez Velda Scantling who had 109 yards and two touchdowns and was like the number two receiver on the week and be like, nope, not for me. Correct. Yes. All right, cool. Great.
Starting point is 00:28:27 I will also toss out Kishon Booty on the Patriots. Ran around on every single Patriots pass. With Drake May, he's been a lot better. Six targets and three straight games. His target share is going up. He is becoming the guy who is on the field the most and getting the most targets on the paths. I'll also say if you're in a PPR league,
Starting point is 00:28:46 you could do worse than Elijah Moore. I know we have bad game for the charges, but the charge's defense is good. And so I'll just, you know, tight ends, disgusting, but yeah, DK, who's your number one tight end after week 10
Starting point is 00:28:56 for waivers? This is brutal. Mike Keseki? I don't know, it's tough because there's a bunch of guys who could have passed a playing time. Doss and Knox for the Bills if Dalton Kincaid is out
Starting point is 00:29:07 for an extended period of time would be an interesting one. I think you get like the, the normal suspects or whatever, the usual suspects, Zach Ertz, Theo Johnson. Revenge game for Zach Earts for Philadelphia. That's right.
Starting point is 00:29:21 But if T. Higgins misses time, this is a contingent, but if T. Higgins misses time, Kaseki is the guy that you want. And of course, Tatea is still out there. But I'm going to go to Keseki. It's not the most sound strategy, but frankly,
Starting point is 00:29:33 it's a lot of good games next week. And having a tight end, who's like having skin in the game, if that's something you care about, because frankly, we're like flipping a cord with all this stuff anyway. Mike Gassicki would be a Bengals Chargers. And Mike Gassikis, you know, has as much of a ceiling as any of these guys.
Starting point is 00:29:45 Zach Hertz will be Thursday in football, Washington Eagles. And also Dawson Knox, you mentioned as Kincaid's out, that builds Chiefs next week. So like, you know, if you're basically like, well, I might as well stream a tight end in a good game instead of a shitty game. Like, you know, you could do worse than pick one of those dudes because they're all really actually entertaining. And then we record this before Monday at football. But if John Smith somehow has like a huge game, sure, go for John Smith. I will stick with Gassiki. I'm doing Zach Hertz, dude.
Starting point is 00:30:12 I just still, I'll just do it Zacherts. He's going to get you the most forecatch 31-yard games. I know, I thought you wanted guys who could pop off. Isn't that, Gisci? Fine, fine. Using your own knowledge. Fine.
Starting point is 00:30:25 Your own... Look, we're all fickle human beings here. Just gifical. We're following the Hyphitz strategy. Fine. Gisicchi. All right. Okay, dude.
Starting point is 00:30:35 Whoa, whoa, whoa. How dare you disrespect Mike Gisickey? It is the Mike Gissiki. who's like a top five tied in when T. Higgins is out. Showdown time. The Gisicki Gritty. How many cigarettes could John Daly smoke while holding the Stanley Cup full of 23 beers? So this one's from Mike.
Starting point is 00:30:58 Mike. Mike. Mike. Michael. In honor of the most honorable Gerald Wains Jones, Jones, Sr., who said this week, what about the sun? Why is no one asking about the moon? Where's the moon?
Starting point is 00:31:13 Yeah. Mike asks, more specifically, how far in kilometers is the moon from the earth at the furthest point from the planet? I just want to say something to Mike really quick. Fuck you. This is one of those things where it's like you either remember learning this in school
Starting point is 00:31:33 and it's stuck in your brain or you didn't and you're screwed. I'll give you a different question of you want. You want more practical advice. See, I got more practical one here if you want. I wanted to stick to the vices. What do we do in here talking about the movie? You want a vice? Fine. Screw the mood one.
Starting point is 00:31:45 Fine. we'll give you advice. Fine. What's the answer, though? I'm curious. I don't know. 400,000. Who knows?
Starting point is 00:31:49 I don't think. I don't know. I was going to guess like 200K. I was going to guess 100K. Fine. This one's from Andrew. I feel like how far is the moon? Hold on.
Starting point is 00:32:01 Let me quickly look. I told you. I read the answers ahead and so I make a guess before I read. I remember who Gerald Wayne Jones Sr. was. His name's Gerald. Yeah, there's a lot of guys like that. So, fine.
Starting point is 00:32:15 You want a more pragmatic one while we're on the subject of vices. This one's from Andrew. Andy. Andy's a lawyer. Andy's a public defender. Ooh. And he says one of the biggest misconceptions I run into, especially with families of my clients, is burglary versus robbery. Ooh.
Starting point is 00:32:32 All right. Burglar is generally entering property with the intent to commit a crime. Nothing actually has to be taken or done for you to have been burglarized. Robbery's taking something from someone by force or threat. So unless you run into a burglar cat or otherwise, they can. can't have robbed you. Bonus trivia question. He says where he practices, which I'll leave out, but the value of what is taken determines if a theft is a felony or a misdemeanor. Yeah. What is the number of the value of what you steal? What is the number that determines
Starting point is 00:33:01 the difference between you having a 12-month misdemeanor or a potential 20-year felony? Well, does that change state by state? It does. Yes, but it's the state where he's at. This is where he practices. And we don't, where you're not going to tell the state. But there's a threshold you hit that a 12-month misdemeanor. turns into a max of a 20-year felony. What is the dollar number? Interesting. To go from misdemeanor to felony?
Starting point is 00:33:25 And I guess this based off what I read about Floyd Mayweather in a story like eight years ago. Did you get a bunch of cash stolen from him? I don't know. I read a random story about Floyd Mayweather. And I'm not going to lie. I know the answer that I got really close. This is a one-time offense.
Starting point is 00:33:42 It's a felony if you steal something worth this amount. It's if you pass this number. you are now looking at a felony where they could theoretically put 20 years on you. Hmm. I can't tell. I can go many ways. There's actually just a prop in California about this,
Starting point is 00:33:58 but the number was, I won't get into it. All right, I have no idea, so I'm just going to guess. All right, three, two, one. $9,000. I said $1,200. Because I remember reading a story about Floyd Mayweather,
Starting point is 00:34:15 and it was a dispute about having an eye and it's so he had taken the eye basically it was about who paid for the iPhone or whatever and he was being charged with potentially like a felony because he just had the iPhone anyway the answer is $1,000 fuck I was gonna guess 900 so it's like you could steal a computer and that's a felony yeah in iPhone yeah in theory if you take it i think it would be way higher like jewelry and stuff but what did you guess dk i guess high is 20 20 000 i was thinking like if you steal a bunch of jewelry or cash or something that's like what knocks it up to a felony but uh that's low, a thousand bucks?
Starting point is 00:34:48 Yeah. I've had my computer stolen from my house before. The cops did not really look very hard for it. I'll be honest. They were like, oh, that sucks. All right. Well, see you later. Yeah, there was basically a prop in California.
Starting point is 00:35:01 I forget what, it was Prop 47 or something that said thefts under $950, whether or not that we prosecuted. And so I was going to guess $900 and I chickened out. And I was like, I thought it was like a multiple time offense thing where you had to steal multiple things. Damn, 900 bucks. bucks off and you got a hundred bucks off I would have lost it
Starting point is 00:35:20 yeah well because you guess 1200 I know I was gonna guess 900 I literally added to zero god damn it um all right so you get get sick my kissicky ooh I'm gonna have the dregs here okay I will take is cancade gonna play
Starting point is 00:35:36 I guess I could play it safe and do Ertz nah I'm gonna go Doss and Knox fuck it um all right I'm gonna go since you're going Kincaid or sorry you're going Knox I'm gonna go Will Disley. Isn't that your doppelganger?
Starting point is 00:35:50 Don't you look just like Will Disley? People used to say, before everyone started to say and I looked just like Tim Robinson, people would say I look like Will Disley. I gotta tell you, you don't really look like Will Disley. All right, well, tell that to the dozens and dozens of people who have said I do. All right.
Starting point is 00:36:05 I agree. I don't see it. Maybe it's just like a certain angle, you know, I don't know. Anyway, regardless, he had five catches for 30 yards. He dropped a touchdown. The most important thing, though, is he was targeted in the end zone, I guess. And the chargers are passing at a higher rate. I saw this from Nathan Yonke at PFF.
Starting point is 00:36:25 Disley has the easiest tight-end schedule over the next five weeks. So, I mean, I'm not excited about this. I'm going to go with Will Disley. Really slim pickens. Yeah, it absolutely sucks. If Taysome Hills out there, I'd still probably pick Taysam Hill over Dissley. Yeah, 100,000. We've talked about it like 12 times.
Starting point is 00:36:41 I would absolutely still take Tase Mille over any of the people we mentioned for the upside purposes. If you need a quarterback this week And again, if you know, I mean, I guess if you have Kyler Murray because the Cardinals are on by or Baker because the bucks are on by, I mean, I hope you're not relying on Dale Jones and Bryce Young at this point
Starting point is 00:36:59 for Giants and Panthers on by. But if you need a quarterback, honestly I would add Anthony Richardson for the cults because I think at some point he's going to come back. That's another stretch run. Like if he comes back soon, like I think that you could make
Starting point is 00:37:10 a lot worse decisions than Richardson. But, I mean, obviously, there's like if Bo Nicks for the Broncos is out there, I still think Bo Nix is actually really solid fantasy contributor now and for the rest of the season. Russell Wilson, maybe that's just like asking for like disappointment. But I think Russell Wilson, you could totally do worse.
Starting point is 00:37:23 You need to start this week. Obviously, Richardson is going to be like a stash for later. Maybe you don't need out of them yet. But those are the two things. You need someone for this week. I would look at Bo Nix or Russell Wilson or someone like that. Not your luck. And then if you want a stash for later, I think that Richardson's about as high
Starting point is 00:37:38 upside as you're going to find. What about Trey Lance? I would rather like, dude, Tray Lance looked so bad. Also, you know what I couldn't believe? Has he ever looked good? One of the craziest stats, Mike Renner pointed this out. Trey Lance in this game, like, just because he came in and threw some pass, he only threw six passes. As of this Sunday now, Trey Lance finally has more passes in the NFL, college, and high school combined than Tom Brady did in his final season in Tampa Bay.
Starting point is 00:38:12 So it's like, what, 550 passes or something? If you include the playoffs, Brady threw 700. 99 passes in his final season, which is crazy because he actually threw 733 and led the league. And he threw 66 in his final playoff game. So 799 for Brady. And until this Sunday, Tray Lance had 798, won fewer in literally from when he was 14 years old until this Saturday. He had fewer passes. Just to give you a crazy, an all-time insane run for like this guy who came in.
Starting point is 00:38:43 The whole thing around Trey Lance was he has no experience. And then he came to the NFL. He has no experience still. It's hard to get experience as a third string quarterback, too. True. I do think we're going to start to see a shift in the way we evaluate players with little experience in college. I think, yeah, I mean, frankly, I think NL is going to change it. More guys are going to stay.
Starting point is 00:39:00 You can make a million bucks and just stay in college. Right. Which, frankly, sounds awesome. Sure. It's like Jaden Daniels, Brock Purdy. Hey, you want to be the coolest guy in your school for another year and make a million dollars? I think all the time about, like, you know, like Trevion on Henderson, like the running back on Ohio State. like would you like to be a fourth round pick
Starting point is 00:39:19 for the Jacksonville Jaguars or do you want to make like frankly inactive on game days? Yeah, almost do you want to make like almost just as much money and be the starting like running back with for Ohio State or whatever I know is the Jenkins is there too but like that just sounds like way more fun. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:36 All right. Defenses, if you need to stream a defense this week, there's three that stand out. The Texans defense, which I think a lot of people dropped ironically because they were facing the lions and then they went got five interceptions.
Starting point is 00:39:48 I think they were dropped like 30% of leagues in ESPN. So like they're out there. And now the Texans face Dallas and Cooper Rush, who had 45 passing yards. So I mean, the Texas defense is probably the number one defense this week. I also want to shout out the Rams defense who are facing Drake May and the Patriots, which that could be very, very, very ugly for Drake May and the Patriots. I'll shout at them. And also, loki, maybe the Jets because you know what, Joe Flacco sucks.
Starting point is 00:40:11 And so that's a little more like risky. but I think, you know, it's, again, Joe Flacco threw his first pass was a pick six against the bills, so you could do worse. Dude, I can't believe. The Texans had five interceptions and only put up 10 points in fantasy. That feels impossible.
Starting point is 00:40:26 The defensive scoring is kind of insane. It's just, wow. Like, the way defensive scoring is totally broken. Yeah, I agree. We should fix that. Oh, wait, we have to do Kai's guys. You want to do that after emails. Oh, yeah, let's get them in.
Starting point is 00:40:39 Let's bring in Young Kai. Young Kai. What's up? There he is. What's up? young king. Happy to be here. We don't have anything to try today,
Starting point is 00:40:49 so I guess it's just vibes, but I'm here for that. We're going to try vibes. I feel like I let you down this last week. Did you pick me? Yeah, you did let me down. Hyvitz came in third with 14.4 points. He had Blake Corum, Quentin Johnson,
Starting point is 00:41:02 Mike Aseki, you know, Blake Corum, we'll see what he does. We're taking the stashes, man. It's not working out. Stash players. That's not the purpose of this exercise. Maybe he'll score tonight. Who knows?
Starting point is 00:41:13 TBD. D.K. I went with you. Raylon Allen, Xavier Legat, and Taysam Hill for 15.4 points. Not a bad showing. But then Craig came in first with Trey Benson, Ray Ray Ray McLeod, and Hunter Henry for 16.7 points. I'm absolutely, I am sizzling this year. Yeah, you're cooking. Which leads me to my pick. I'm going to go with Craig. Good move. I need some pop, and I feel like Ad. Mitchell. I feel like I've been losing a lot recently. I need something that could really like. I need that one guy who has 16.
Starting point is 00:41:46 There's something meta about us picking players who recently did well and then them disappointing us. And then Kai just picking whoever recently won and I was disappointing him. It's like this vicious cycle. Yeah. And Kai, you're getting the, you're getting the Odrick Estimee you pick.
Starting point is 00:42:01 Yeah, yeah. Dawson Knox if if, if, blanking on a guy's name, I just traded my Dalton Kincaid. Kai, how many packs of cigarettes do you smoke when you play 18? Ooh, I'd probably go through three to four, I'd say. Gee, I can see that.
Starting point is 00:42:16 You really crank it out. If it's a longer day, you know, I'm not shooting well. It's like the rest coal like beam with just like 17 sigs. It's the best thing ever. You mix in a cigar to turn? Sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A couple of them if I'm feeling, you know, shooting well.
Starting point is 00:42:33 Vaping just, vaping doesn't look as a fraction as cool smoking a cigarette does. Vaping is like one of the lamer looking things through it. Have I ever piloted? I've ever told you guys my take on vaping. I think that the problem is like all the adults try to tell you that vaping's bad. And I feel like they should actually tell you at vaping school because the kids won't do anything you tell them to do. Yeah, that's been the argument for like 50 years with cigarettes, dude. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:42:57 It's like, I don't know. You know how like the second your parents use a cool word, then you're like, well, that word's over. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I guess it's not like that. Okay. I honestly feel that way, like my parents use a lot of emojis when texting and it's actually made me move away from using emojis. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:43:11 Correct. You know? Or like my parents spell, they like use abbreviated spelling now. Like my mom will spell though THO. And I actually now refuse to do that and I will spell out the full word. Yeah. It's just like DNA deep like to rebel against you.
Starting point is 00:43:25 Exactly. So I feel like if your kids are vaping and you don't want them to vape, it's like if you vape, I feel like your kids will stop. Maybe I don't have kids though. Yeah. So start vaping if you have kids is the lesson. For the children.
Starting point is 00:43:38 Yeah. I think that's been like an, that's been an idea. that people have had about cigarettes since like the 1950s, and it just doesn't work because people do look cool smoking. It did kind of work, though. I feel like everyone, like, just smoke. Well, people know, people stop smoking as much
Starting point is 00:43:51 because they know that it kills you, but some people just don't care or whatever. People do look much less cool vaping, though. That's fact. You know what I think? There was that era, right around when I was in college, it was like 2014-15-ish, when there was those massive vapes that looked like a,
Starting point is 00:44:08 like a mini Stanley Cup, literally. And you used to look like a hard drive. Yeah, you used to like, it actually did. They were massive. I don't remember that. And you used to blow out pounds of smoke. And it was way too much smoke where it doesn't look cool. I think there's like something about cigarettes where it's like a little, it's a little delicate.
Starting point is 00:44:27 It's a little limited. The people who just exhale this like avalanche of smoke looks so weird. It's like you see people doing it in cars and you're just like, oh God. It literally looks like the device that you're going to use to like set off a bomb. It's just like massive. And it's like you have like dry ice in your mouth. It's just nonstop smoke coming out. And now they've pared down a little bit when they had like the jewels and whatever using now.
Starting point is 00:44:53 So yeah. You sound like my mom being like, you know, the computer used to take up the whole room. Vance used to be huge. Actually, though, those things were insanely big. It was crazy. Kai, who are you taking? You took Craig? Okay.
Starting point is 00:45:09 It's probably a good call. Welcome aboard. We'll see. Well, I went with DK last time and he had, you know, triple, triple Ws across the board and that didn't work out. I lost by one point, all right? I might just be like, I just might be the bad luck, you know, whichever team I go with. We'll see. We'll see what happens.
Starting point is 00:45:24 I hate to tell you, you have no control over what happens, Kay. That's true. That's true. Thank you to everyone who emailed about the superstitions because there's a ton. Kai, are you superstitious watching the Lakers? I'm somewhere in between you and Craig, I think, where it's like I have, like, there are certain things that will, like, be like, if I did it this way. Like, for example, I don't like to watch Lakers games with other people.
Starting point is 00:45:46 Like, I just like to watch them alone. I don't know if that's more of like... That's more like how you act and how you feel during a game versus like having control over the games. A little stitious, I think I would say. I don't have like, like I don't, you know, cross my toes in front of the TV right before, you know, big kick. But if that works, I'm not against it, you know. I have an email here from Josh. I have an email here from Josh.
Starting point is 00:46:10 It does work. Josh Rodin No proof No proof. Josh Rodin, I have never been superstitious in my football watching career until I heard the most recent pod
Starting point is 00:46:21 where Hafeitz admitted that he cosplays as a witch doctor when watching the Giants games. And with that being said, I'm a lifelong Lions fan. And during tonight's game, I knew we needed something big to happen to pull off that win.
Starting point is 00:46:34 And so when Kaimi Fairbair and the Texans kicker lined up to kick the game-winning field goal to put Houston up by three in the fourth quarter, I went up to the TV and I drew an X in the carpet and he missed the kick. And I started. The coincidence.
Starting point is 00:46:50 The 58 yarder from the right hash. And Josh says, I started freaking out and I woke up my pregnant wife who was sleeping next to me on the couch. And I tried to explain the context of the hyphen dark magic while freaking out that we had a shot to win the game. And then as Jake Bates, the lion's kicker lines up to kick the game winner. I look at my wife. and I'm like, what do I do now?
Starting point is 00:47:11 And she says draw heart in the carpet this time. And I did. And it worked. And they won. And so my conclusion is the lions really have Hyphids and I to thank for this victory. And it turns out there are powers that play in this universe that can only be unlocked through the magic of delusional fandom. Yeah. It's funny.
Starting point is 00:47:27 It only works when kickers are kicking like 60-yard field goals. It's never 35-yarders that work. Well, sometimes it is. You know what? Chiefs fans? You think Chiefs fans aren't well-versed in the dark arts? Shouldn't it be the poor Broncos fans who did a million things? hoping this field goal goes through the uprights and it didn't.
Starting point is 00:47:42 They didn't do it right, Craig? Yeah. Clearly they're not doing it right. It's their fault. Obviously. They have only themselves to blame. They keep emailing the superstitions. I so appreciate everyone.
Starting point is 00:47:51 I like hearing about the superstitions. It is fun. I don't believe that any of them actually make a difference, but I do enjoy. I actually want to hear when they don't work. I want to know people who go to, I want to know about people who go to great lengths to execute their superstition and then it doesn't work. Oh, we have more people being like the ToeX worked for me. me. Like, what's the most complicated and or detrimental to that person's life in some way?
Starting point is 00:48:15 Like, I spend way too much time doing this or money or whatever. Yeah, what's like the Rube Goldberg of superstitions? There's like eight things that have to happen. But I think that the one I would shout out is Carissa. Carissa. Carissa. I'm a lifelong Patriots fan. I never miss a game. Back in early 2017, my then boyfriend and I were watching my poor Patriots get wallop by the Falcons in the Super Bowl 51. And when the score hit 28 to 3, I stormed upstairs, messed her out on my phone, gave up the game. And then later he calls up as like, babe, they're coming back. And I checked the NFL app and they're coming back.
Starting point is 00:48:46 But I realized the entire comeback had happened while I was in my room. So I did not watch the game, stay it in my bed and watch that on phone. And I think I deserve a ring because I help them win the game. And I can't tell you that's exactly how I feel. Yeah, look, I get it. I mean, I've had moments like that too where I'm like, I think I was saying on the show when we were talking about it. If I'm sitting down and the team's playing well, I won't stand up, things like that.
Starting point is 00:49:06 And she, Chris also preemptively wanted to cut off D.K. here and says to those who doubt that one woman's viewership and wardrobe can have an impact on the careers of 53 grown men and their entire coaching staff, I say, no proof. No proof. What have I done? What have I done? I mean, that's a fair. That's very fair.
Starting point is 00:49:27 There is no actual proof. Also, Taylor Swift is one woman who's had an impact on 53 men on a roster, perhaps. No? Yeah, how? She won the Super Bowl last year. They were doing pretty much. Literally not as good as they're doing this year. I suppose.
Starting point is 00:49:49 All right. We also, we have a couple emails we have to read about boogers. This will be the last of the booger pods. We have to. I've got a lot of complaints about that booger episode. Can we do one? I'm going to be frank.
Starting point is 00:49:59 The best one maybe? We just not any graphic booger eating descriptions. No, it won't be graphic, but we have to read these. And I'm sorry here. Makes it cereal, right? It's not graphic. For those listening who are debating
Starting point is 00:50:11 turn it off. You want to hear this. So this is from redacted. Okay. Bad start, but okay. I just had the problem with acting everyone, unless they're going on. It's just, I assume there's a culture of redaction here. I just had the pleasure of listening to Monday's podcast, particularly the booger confessional segment. And I was telling my husband how shook I was about the number of people that emailed the show regarding how they eat boogers, because we had 35 people tell us they eat boogers. And I need you guys to know that what transpired during this conversation has forever changed my life. Uh-oh.
Starting point is 00:50:44 Because my husband of five years, we've been together for 12 years total, admitted that he eats his boogers. Oh, no. And when I say I was shook to my core, I am still in shock. I've never seen him do it. I had never thought to ask. And thanks to your segment, or maybe no thank you to your segment, I now know this wild fact about my husband,
Starting point is 00:51:06 who I thought I knew all the things about my husband, I guess not. Keep doing the Lord's work. I'm trying to decide if I was more shook hearing the booger eating stuff or finding out that people do stand up and and wad wiping. Jesus. You know?
Starting point is 00:51:21 I think that we've exposed something that like there's rifts in marriages now being created for this podcast. Guy just goes, Jesus. I think that was our best poll. Dude. They're really uncovered some things. We have another one here from Redacted as well. Redacted.
Starting point is 00:51:38 My wife, Flex. and I were driving home last night after taking our kids on a holiday train ride. The drive was a long one and it was getting late. And on these types of drives, you talk about anything to stay awake and pass the time, gets her fast to sleep. And somehow the topic of the most disgusting
Starting point is 00:51:53 or least disgusting bodily fluid or byproduct came up. Don't ask me how. And my wife quickly assures me... He was trying to convince her to do something. Jesus. It was right there. My wife quickly assures me that boogers are definitely the least disgusting thing
Starting point is 00:52:10 your body makes. Wow, really. Of your recent email request for booger eater confessions. So I described to her the episode and explained the prompt at how 31 people emailed in to say that they ate burgers.
Starting point is 00:52:23 And I got in the middle of the story when I started explaining the salty flavor, she started gagging, asked me to shut up, and then she threw up in the car. Oh my God. Just from him recounting
Starting point is 00:52:38 the podcast. And, Does she still think it's the least disgusting? I think she probably conceded with the vomiting. This is why it's good. We had a trigger warning. Yeah, that's what the trigger was. Yeah, I mean, like, I'm not going to lie.
Starting point is 00:52:51 I think Craig and I both were feeling a little queasy after that. Dude, it's nasty thinking about that, but I respect everyone who emailed in and admitted there. All that's to say from the bottom of my heart, I apologize to all the marriages that we seem to have impacted from this discussion. We will shelve it. Yeah. Is it Carissa? Is she going to stage? No, Carissa was the...
Starting point is 00:53:10 Corracea. There was a redacted. Her and Tom Brady did the comeback. Is the redacted woman going to stage an intervention, you think, with her husband about this? Is there going to be a line in the sand drawn? No more bugger eating?
Starting point is 00:53:21 So you do want more... But she's never seen it. But he admitted it. Yeah. I think just knowing it's going on is just as bad. I mean, you don't see your spouse cheating, but knowing it's happening, you know? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:33 It's true. It's like you can't get that out of your head. I couldn't stop thinking about it. I'm not sure. It's worse. Yeah, what would you rather have? Would you have your partner once a year makeout with someone else or eat their boogers every day?
Starting point is 00:53:48 Oh my God. It might be the former. I'll have to sleep on it. Damn. That's a thinker. All right, well, should we do a poll? Thank you, D.K., thank you, Craig.
Starting point is 00:54:02 Thank you, Craig. Should we do a poll? Kai. Yeah. Would you rather your partner cheat on you once a year or eat boogers every day? So you guys said you wanted the under the burger content, but you want more. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:54:16 I'm a sucker for a pole. I love polls. I love polls. Let's do it. Let's do it. Phrasing? Phraising? No?
Starting point is 00:54:26 Okay. One of the secret best parts of the show is that D.K. is actually the least mature. The dirtiest mind. Yeah. DK has the dirtiest mind. Talking about road dome and I love polls. Come on. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:39 You just, look, you said it, man. It was right there. You're sick. All right. You're pretty sick, Chubbs. Get the bastard's eye, though. We got to do like a live watch of Happy King War II. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:54:55 Oh, my God. You're pretty sick, Chubbs. Thank you, Kai, for living with my betrayal of you every week. Thank you, Carlos, for producing this episode. Someone's got to do it, right, Kai? Thank you, Austin. Thank you everyone for help on his scenes. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:55:12 Everyone for emailing us at RinginfancyFootball.com. And thank you, Lorne. Lord. You, Jurassic 5. Nice. Who is J5? Who is that? You never heard of Jurassic 5?
Starting point is 00:55:24 No, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Jurassic 5. I saw him live at U.Dub in like a pretty small room. My freshman year, 2001. Damn, that's good. So give me a shout if you were there.
Starting point is 00:55:39 I was there. Damn, what of these guys' rap name is Soup? That's pretty sick. That's sick. Concrete school yard? D.K. Or Hiveitch you probably heard that song, I would imagine. This is a good pull, D.K. This is fun.
Starting point is 00:55:52 Charlie Tuna. I think he was the guy with a really deep voice. This is a squad. Look at this. They had some hits, man. They had some really good stuff. What's Golden was really cool. Work it out. Yeah. He fits, you actually should check it out. I know I say that with like almost everything, but they're really good.
Starting point is 00:56:11 They're worth listening. I like, I actually like that comment. Like, you should check it out. And like, no, this one actually check out. because I'll do it now. It's like real like vibes hip hop. Yeah, yeah. It's like chill music.
Starting point is 00:56:21 It's like driving music. You can just like put it on and nod your head. And it's like, right. Very, very pleasing to listen to. Yeah. Also, email us if you want the one second song playlist. It's a ringer fantasy football at Gmail. Jurassic 5.
Starting point is 00:56:41 Kai has no relationship with Jurassic 5, I think. No clue at all. I was thinking. I bet you would like them though. I think I would too. I was just like looking. at them. But I looked up soup and his real name is, it looks like
Starting point is 00:56:53 Zikir. One of those fun things in the world is to just look up rappers, real names. It's like, it's just the best. Yeah. It's so great. Young thugs name is Jeffrey. That's a good one. Dude, that's like the, that's also like, that's why 8 Mile has such an incredible edit.
Starting point is 00:57:09 Like your real name's Clarence and it's like, honestly a lot of rappers kind of basically are named Clarence. My favorite one, rest and peace to take off. His name is Kershink. And there was like a viral moment on Twitter that it sounds like you're like unsheathing a sword. The best thing ever. I did not know that once is done.
Starting point is 00:57:29 It's so good. Never ending. Literally. That's good. I like that. All right. Goodbye, everyone. Must be 21 plus and present in select states.
