For the Ringer Fantasy Football Show, my name is Danny Hyphen today.
I'm joined by Danny Kelly and Craig Coralbeck.
And today we're going through our muff ad players after week 15.
Here's how it's going to work.
We're to go position by position where you give you our number one player at that position.
Then we're going to, if we pick the same ones, we'll do a trivia tiebreaker.
You know it works.
And also you probably figured it out by now.
Not that complicated.
Email's your trivia.
Emails fantasy courts at ringerfancy football.
Gmail.com. We're going to go through
a bunch. We are going to start with injuries.
There are probably more injuries this week than we've had
in a long time. The regression has
arrived. Yeah, it did. The
healthiest running back season of our lifetime. Not
anymore. So
I'm going to go through. I'm going to start with the
very scary, not cool
injury whatsoever. Grant DeBose, the receiver
for the dolphins. As opposed to the other cool injuries.
Well, not cool, but you know what I mean. Sorry.
Well, the serious one. The other ones are not serious.
We understand. We understand. Yeah. So, Grant,
to Bose had that horrific, horrific head injury, and there was an 11-minute delay in the Dolphins game.
It was extremely scary.
Ambulance on the field.
It was just, like, absolutely awful.
We actually have an update on him now.
So the Dolphins released a statement this morning, we're recording this Monday afternoon, East Coast time.
Dolphins released a statement.
I will read the whole thing, quote, an update on the status of the Dolphins receiver Grant DeBos.
After sustaining a head injury in yesterday's game, Grant DeBose remained at a local Houston hospital for evaluation overnight.
He has movement in all extremities and initial tests, have reviewed.
field positive results.
He remains under the care of doctors for continued observation.
End quote.
As Dki always says,
ghoulish sport.
Yeah,
they had to cut off his jersey and his helmet and his pads and everything,
which I don't know if I've seen that before.
I'm sure it's happened before,
but that was very scary,
of course.
So great to hear that he's doing better,
obviously.
But yeah,
very, very scary moment.
And yeah,
and then they just started playing football right after he left in the ambulance.
It was just so,
so surreal.
and weird. At least we're at the point now where we're much more sensitive to these issues and we're not celebrating them like we were 10, 15 years ago.
Yeah.
What was the jacked up?
At least we're not doing that.
We're slowly moving in perhaps a better direction.
Right.
Yeah.
So, I mean, we're curious, you know, hope, obviously, hope Grant DeBose makes a full recovery.
Obviously, it's awful.
So, yeah, there's a bunch of other injuries as well.
The crazy one from this morning, David, as if the lines didn't have.
enough injuries. Dude, what is going on with that team? David Montgomery, running back
heart, soul of this offense. Sprain MCL is going to go under a season ending surgery
for David Montgomery. Awful. That is so sad. And that's, I mean, first of all, I think the
Lions. I don't think... Not a cool injury either, this one. No. Sorry. I'm not going to
let that one down. I can see. The Sonic and Knuckles thing. How are they going to keep this going?
Sonic and Knuckles is brutal. No, and this sucks because, I mean, we had a talk yesterday, but like,
Lions are not the favorite to win the NFC anymore.
Like, I'm sorry, but we've reached that point where,
yeah, there's a different team, a completely different roster pretty much now.
It's like, Theseus' ship.
It's like, as a team, yeah, 15 injured defenders and injured reserve.
I mean, you're talking about like basically entering the season,
their four best defensive linemen, their best inside linebacker,
their two or three best cornerbacks, basically.
Like, this team is just, the defense is ravaged.
And now you're looking at a week where they get back, Taylor,
they got back Taylor Decker at left tackle.
But I mean, yeah, David Montgomery, Snow,
it's just Jamir Gibbs.
we'll get to like running backs and who to add and stuff
Craig Reynolds is like next man up
but overall like
in like 48 hours I've gone from
like I want the lines to win the Super Bowl more than anything
to like I kind of don't think they'll make it
and I would actually be almost surprised
if you just have to adjust expectations
a little bit I think at this point right like
a couple weeks ago they were
a juggernaut and now
I don't know I think they can still compete with anybody
of course but
but now they're going to be the team that needs to win
40 to 35 every game
And it's probably not going to.
They're like if the Bengals had made the playoffs with a stronger O-line and running game.
But it's like the Bengals, you know, it's just a track mate.
So yeah, so that sucks.
Okay.
So we'll get to positions in a moment.
The one thing I wanted to just put on everyone's radar if you make, hopefully people are making the championship.
Weird stretch of football coming.
Very weird stretch.
Week 17.
There's going to be, I know we're entering week 16 right now, but I just want people to know.
Because, you know, first of all, for our schedule, for our show, we're going to be having episodes on Sundays.
and Mondays and Wednesdays too.
We're not going to have a Friday preview entering the season.
But I wanted everyone to know,
there are games on Christmas Day, which is Wednesday.
There's going to be Thursday football on Thursday.
Three games on Saturday and Sunday.
So just for your purposes, if you win this week,
if you make the finals,
you have to set your lineups on Christmas,
which I wouldn't be shocked between Christmas Eve and Christmas
if you miss that.
So anyway, I know people know that Netflix is having Christmas games,
but there's like five days next week
that there's going to be football.
Thursday, Saturday, Sunday.
Monday, Monday, Wednesday.
Thursday, Tuesday, Saturday, Monday.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Can you imagine if Netflix gets screwed and Mahomes doesn't play on Christmas
Day on their platform?
They're going to make him.
I think I saw part of my take and they're like, they're going to make him play.
They carry him out.
They're like, handle the lector, like put him out on a cart.
I just,
Chris Swence is kind of like Cole for Christmas, isn't it?
Yeah, 100%.
He's a gift to some.
He's a gift for Steelers fans.
Yeah.
Okay.
Running back, DK is your number one running back ad
after week 15?
This one's tough.
I'm going with Jerome Ford for the Browns.
Another injury that we didn't mention quite yet.
Nick Chub broke his foot.
Sucks.
Out for the year.
I think he was already starting to be
sort of supplanted by Jerome Ford anyway
because Ford's healthier overall.
Chub is still coming back from the horrific knee injury.
But yeah,
Ford last week, seven carries, 84 yards, touchdown plus two catches. He gets the Bengals next
week, which is huge, and then the dolphins in two weeks. So good matchups, good player, I think.
This offense obviously is, we don't know what's going to happen, whether it's going to be
James or DTR, whoever. He's going to get most of the volume. So I would probably focus on
Jerome Ford as your number one pickup. Yeah, it's weird. This is like the most robust running back
market on waivers all year, I would say. There are like a lot of guys. So I think our serviceable
flex plays. Kendra Miller, I was debating on the Saints. Camara has a groin injury. They're playing
the Packers in Green Bay. There's just nobody on the Saints anymore to give the ball to. So that's
kind of why I think I was leaning Kendra and I might do that. Although the matchup of Cincinnati
with Jerome Ford is the only thing keeping me on the fence here. But maybe for the sake of this game,
I will go with Jerome Ford. I think it's got to be Jerome Ford for a number of reasons. But
I think it has to be
Jerome Ford.
I'm dubious
of how many leagues
he's available in.
I do think I've seen
some people drop him
just because he hadn't had
seven points in like three
or two months before this.
So,
well,
yeah,
and it was a split backfill
before this.
Now he's going to get
much more volume,
I think.
I think Jerome Ford
for what Craig said
with the Bengals and the matchup
and also we'll get to
Kendry Miller in a moment,
but that's Monday to football.
So we can get to that.
I think Jerome Ford's the guy
in Jerome Ford showdown time.
If Jerome Ford's available,
I feel like he's probably not,
but you really never know who people have cut at this point.
33% rostered in Yahoo Leagues.
Yeah.
Go after him, though.
Although, like I said, a lot of people, we'll get to the others.
It is the Jerome Ford.
So sad.
Sad for Nick Chubb.
Showdown time.
Delayed long.
It's from Bill.
Billy.
William.
How many people visit the Pike Place Fish Market every day?
Every year?
Every day?
Every day.
Oh, that's an interesting question.
DK, do they toss the fish every day?
I don't know, to be honest.
I think they toss it quite often.
I don't know about every single day,
but yeah, they toss it a lot.
I'm letting you guys know right now
two of these three questions,
I like almost nailed.
Cool.
You had 24 hours to think about them.
No, I give my answer, like, immediately,
and then I read it,
and just write down what I wrote.
Every day.
Can you just sit there for 10 minutes
and think about what the answer is
and then write it down?
You think I'm sitting?
You think I'm thinking about these trivia questions answers for 10 minutes?
Yeah.
You're probably thinking about them all day.
Have you ever changed your answer in your head gone back?
No.
Don't believe you.
Okay.
You go through the fucking emails.
How do you know how many people visit a market?
Do you have to buy a ticket?
No.
No.
How do they know?
I didn't look that far into it.
Is it how many people are purchasing something at the market?
Well, no, it's a market, so they probably have an idea of how many people, the percentage of people
who buy and it's probably based on
sure it's probably inflated.
Man, I don't know.
I don't know if I'm going to be wildly high or wildly low.
Love this.
This is how it always is.
All right.
I think I have a number in my mind.
All right.
Three, two, one.
$9,000.
Wow.
I said $10,000.
I said $15,000.
Would you say, DK?
We're all close.
10.
Oh, it's 20.
$20,000 a day.
Yeah.
Dang, they're putting up numbers.
That's a lot.
lot. Those are not rookie numbers. Those are vet numbers. Good for them. The other thing that
Pike Place is really known for is flowers. If you want to go buy flowers and you're in the Seattle
area, they have a shit ton of flowers there. Is Seattle still like coffee capital or is that
kind of come and gone? I mean, I don't know. The other thing about the Pike Place market is the original,
well, I don't know, like, I don't know like what other people think. It's definitely like the
Starbucks is still based there. Starbucks started the original Starbucks shop is like in that
that little Pike Place area.
So it's also part of that like history and lore or whatever.
Okay.
So I'll get your own forward.
Yeah.
D.K., you get to pick next.
Oh, God.
There's a few here.
Okay, so we mentioned Kendrae Miller.
Tadj Spears for the Titans came in and had a pretty big role.
He had six catches, 87 yards and a touchdown.
Pollard left briefly with an ankle injury.
It doesn't sound like that's like serious, but you never know.
I think I'm going to go with Kendra
for the Saints.
It's tough though.
I think those two are the next two guys.
Yeah, there's also Sincere McCormick
who plays tonight for the Raiders.
I think Sincere is a lot more likely
to be rostered than Kendra Miller.
And Tadj Spears, I would say.
Craig Reynolds for the Lions,
who is probably not going to have a huge role
that he'll play like a backup role now to Jemir Gibbs.
Kenneth Gainwell for the Eagles.
If Barclay misses any time, there's...
I'm surprised you're taking Kendri Miller, because Camero, when he got hurt.
He did.
Oh, you did?
I took Kendry.
I thought he was...
I'm trying to figure out what to do now.
I'm probably going to lean, God, I guess Spears.
You know, Camani Vidal is, like, taking over the lead role a little bit on the charges, but I just don't want him.
They can't run the ball.
Yeah.
I kind of don't like what's going on with that office.
Neither him nor Gus have any speeds.
No, they have no juice.
I think I'm going to go with Spears just because, at the very least, if Pallard's a little banged up, they're playing Indianapolis.
They use him through the in a passing game.
I'll go with Spears.
And also Kenneth Gainwell's out there too.
Yeah, there's a lot of guys.
Sequoans banged up.
I feel like he'll still play.
But yeah,
Ty Johnson for the bills all of a sudden?
The last two weeks?
No, no, no.
You're not going to do that.
They're just using him in the passing game.
He's like essentially another receiver for them.
Are you going to do that, though?
I'm not going to start him, but, you know,
if you're really desperate,
16 team league out there or something.
Sure.
I think Kendrae Jerome Ford and Tai Jay Spears are probably the correct three.
Right.
I agree.
With sincere McCormick is available.
And sincere if he's out there.
With sincere on the...
To your point about Kamani,
Vidal, shout out, neat Yankee
at Pro Football Focus who pointed out
that Vidal played all six third downs
and then all five plays in the two-minute drill,
which again, it's just rare.
You just don't see that a lot from a rookie
just getting like all the third down work.
I just don't know if he's any good.
No, I don't know.
But the Bucks are hard to run against.
I mean, they're playing the Bronchers.
The Chargers offense just has no juice.
Yeah. Receivers, I mean,
this is Romeo Dobbs, right, D.K.?
Uh, it's either Romeo Dobbs
or for me, Jalen McMillan for the Buccaneers
who has come on really, really strong
the last couple of,
weeks, obviously Baker Mayfield is balling out.
I'm still pretty dubious with the whole Packers' offensive rotation.
They make me nervous every week.
Obviously, Dobbs went off this week, and you guys were right about that.
But I still, like, every week, it's like, oh, is Jaden Reed going to get 30 points or maybe
zero?
Yeah.
Is Romeo Dobbs going to catch a touchdown, or is he going to have two catches?
You know what I mean?
It's like, I just don't like to live that life.
At least with Jalen McMillan, he had seven targets this last week, six the week before
that.
they have Dallas and Carolina the next two games,
really good matchups.
And so I think I lean McMillan.
I'm going with McMillan.
Even though Dobbs is their best.
I think the best receiver on the Packers right now is Romeo Dobbs.
Obviously, you know, Jane Reid's really good too,
but they don't play him in anything with 11 personnel.
And so Dobbs is playing way more snaps.
But yeah, I'm going to lean McMillan.
I think are clearly the top two guys.
And for the same reason that we had Dobbs last week where Dobbs is not only a really good option,
but also you want guys playing later in the day
because you're probably,
if you're adding someone off waivers
and you're starting line up in the semifinals,
because you have someone who's questionable
that might not play.
So if you have like Kamara with a groin injury,
if like Seekwan doesn't play or something,
like basically there's a player that you aren't sure if it's going to play,
Jalen Mcmillan Sundayette football bucks cowboys,
Romeo Dobbs is Monday at football.
I think that's a huge lead.
Like you want someone who will, like,
you know,
it's really annoying if like,
oh, it's not helpful if you're like bi-week villains on Thursday football.
That doesn't help anybody.
Yeah.
So I think Dobbs and McMillan,
I'm fine.
1A1B right there.
The other guy that's like a risky one, but I like,
is Jalen Coker for the Panthers.
Xavier Leggett is going to be out this week.
Green injury.
With a groin.
It's because he ate their raccoons.
Yeah.
Food poised.
So if you're really scraping the bottom of the barrel,
you know, he's shown out.
He's back healthy.
He missed a bunch of games,
but he's back healthy.
He had a big game this last week.
He had like a 70-yard touchdown or something like that.
He had like a huge play.
I agree.
Those are my top three.
Yeah.
Craig.
Who are you going?
I'm going Dobbs.
Okay.
So it's Dobbs.
Dobbs time.
It is the Romeo Dobbs showdown time.
Telling you right now, I almost nailed this one too.
It's on you right now.
I don't know why I don't like hearing that.
That doesn't make me happy.
This one's from Chris.
Chris.
Chris.
Tofer.
Tofer.
How many players in the current Patriots roster are younger than Bill
Belichick's girlfriend.
24.
Damn, you did that a little too quickly.
No, we were talking about this the other day.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Jordan Hudson was born on March 5th, 2000.
God.
So how many players?
That's her name, Jordan Hudson?
Yeah, I didn't fact check that, but that's what he said.
How many players on their roster?
On the active 52-man roster?
53, yeah.
53-man roster?
Okay.
Okay, I think I got number.
three, two, one.
28.
Damn it.
Oh,
you guys went high.
I said 14.
It's 13.
Oh, they're kind of old.
That's not a great sign.
24?
24 is like,
no one for Bill left.
Go and Leo here.
Ew.
There's only 13.
No wonder he got out of there.
That's fair.
That's fair.
God damn it.
Man.
I feel like we were all.
Okay.
There's only 13.
players on their roster under 24.
That's like a third.
A third is a lot.
DK,
you urged me out.
And both of these trivia questions,
I said 9,000,
you said 10.
I said 28,
you said 27.
Sweet.
So wait,
Hifitz is taking Dobbs.
I'll take McMillan.
I'll go with Coker.
Also,
everyone's going to yell at me.
I know it's like not really a third.
It's probably close to a quarter.
Whatever.
I mean,
either way,
I was thinking it would be more.
I hate,
I hate,
like,
fear of being bad at math on air.
I hate that.
I hate when I know,
it's like when I just like generalize a percentage
and I'm like,
there's going to be one person who's like,
got that wrong.
14.
I don't want to have to say the actual number.
I know.
This is like when we talked about
the Taylor Swift number of concerts.
I like just do very,
very quick math that I don't think about it at all
and I'm always like way,
way off.
And I hear about it a lot.
And I'm sorry.
I'm not good at math.
So D.K.
gets Jalen Mcmillan.
I'm taking Romeo Dobbs.
Who do you take?
taking, Craig?
Coke.
Yeah, Coak is, yeah, Cochers
already.
The Coke.
The only other thing I'll say
is Trey Tucker on the Raiders,
I don't think you should take them,
but we're recording this
before a night of football.
I know.
A lot of Raiders.
What'd I say?
No, I said a lot of Raiders
for the waiver wires.
Sincere, Trey.
Nate Yonki, PFF, did a great shot
pointing this out that Desmonder came in
week 12 through like six passes
and four that went to Tray Tucker.
Just feeds Trey Tucker.
And if it's like that again,
is that not just like the craziest
small sample size ever, though?
Of course, of course it is.
That's why we didn't fucking pick him.
But if that holds tonight, and like, tonight I'm on a football, you're like, that's weird that trade touchdowns.
Sure.
13 targets.
Then, like, you could look at him for next week.
But only if it's like weird and they're commenting on it at how we really like Strait Dunker.
Did you guys consider Tim Patrick?
No.
No.
So the last two weeks, seven targets, eight targets.
He has three touchdowns.
He also had another touchdown.
I think that he had another target in the end zone that he didn't catch.
I love Tim Patrick as a player.
This is a team that's going to score 40-something points.
game. I don't know. I'm just throwing Tim Patrick out there too. Could do worse.
The reason I say to is because I think he's actually really good. I think Tim Patrick is a good player.
He was. They gave him a car. Dude, I was there with Mays the day that he tore his ACL at Broncos.
Oh, yeah. That's right. Did he have the Clay Thompson, Achilles and? Yes.
ACL? Yeah. He got a contract extension like a week before that, which I think God for him.
But anyway, yeah, Tim Patrick's the man. You can take him over jailed Coker. Who goes to
fuck? Playing at Chicago at San Francisco the last two weeks. That's not a deal.
tight ends bleak midwinter out here, DK.
I'm going Britain Strange.
Hell yeah, dude.
Is Breton Strange good?
Just looking for some strange out there, you know?
Oh, okay.
Would you take him over, like, if Noah Gray for the Chiefs is available, you'd go Brenton Strange?
Craig didn't appreciate that.
I have Noah Gray number two here on my power rankings.
You would, you season on the line.
You're going to get back to Strait.
I think Britain Strange is not bad.
They're playing the Raiders, too.
Yeah.
Raiders and then the Titans.
Noah Gray's playing the Texans with No one.
maybe out Mahomes.
This is like the backup quarterback with the backup tight end.
Dude, he's not going to be.
Mahomes isn't going to play in this game probably.
Yeah.
He's probably not.
Yeah, I guess you actually have to go, Brent.
You're right.
Mahomes is probably not going to play.
Fucking 11 catches.
Yeah, I know.
I just like he's Brenton Strange.
All right.
Brenton.
Fuck it.
All right.
I'll do Brenton Strange.
You're right.
The waiver wire at this point in the year is bleak.
What are we talking about?
Who cares?
You're not going to feel good about any of these guys.
Also, no tight ends got hurt this week.
I don't think.
So I don't know a scenario in which you're adding
Starting for a strange.
I guess if you have Evan Ingram, sure.
Right.
Well, now I know it's December.
Brent and Strange.
We're just going to ignore D.K.'s strange.
What was that?
Why are we so offended by that?
I don't know.
I just haven't heard that phrase in a while.
What did you say?
He said, he's looking for some strange.
Which I don't know.
He doesn't know what that.
Do you not know what that means, If it's?
I don't even know what it's supposed to mean.
It means you're out looking for women for some strange ass.
Go out and get some strange ass.
You know?
I don't know if that still plays.
Strange?
Really?
Do you think it's like not politically correct?
No, I don't think it's politically incorrect.
I just think it's very outmoded.
Well, I'm 42.
What do you want from me?
What does that word even mean?
Outmoded?
It's fucking, it's old school.
I don't know.
Craig, I'm old.
I didn't say that the kids are saying it right now.
I feel like I've never even heard that.
Yeah.
It's like, I think it's like an early aughts term or something like that.
Dude, I saw a really funny tweet the other.
Get Austin to go look it up.
D.K., someone said in the early offs, if you wore a long-sleeve t-shirt underneath your short-sleeve t-shirt, that meant you liked music.
Oh, I could see that.
Yeah, yeah.
I don't know if that conclusion is correct, but I used to wear a long-sleeve shirt under a short-sleeve shirt all the time.
It was like in my high school, that was definitely a thing.
Oh, yeah.
When I was in high school, it was like big, baggy-ass cargo pants.
Dude, that's back fully.
Yeah, I know.
It's full circle.
If you like see pictures or videos of me.
in high school. It's like, I'm like, this is how
Gen Z dresses now. I'm wearing like big baggy ass t-shirts,
big baggy ass jeans and cargo pants.
Yeah. I'm trying to think of what else.
Like some of the haircuts are kind of back. It's just wild.
Dude, have you seen the memes that like in Piki,
like British men like Peky Blinders used to wear hats like that?
And now that's like the haircut for British men now is just like that hat.
It's like a haircut.
Like, just what people's hair looks like.
It like kind of hangs over the forehead coming down a little bit.
Yeah.
Like that like, yeah.
All right.
Anyway.
Oh, wait, trivia.
Right.
We, uh, it is the,
Brenton looking for some strange showdown time.
Great.
Just grim.
You just grimaced when I said it.
I don't know.
I'm curious to hear what people think about that.
Again,
I don't think it's problematic.
I just,
I don't know why it kind of jumped out to me.
It is an old term.
Yeah.
I'm admitting that.
Old fashioned.
I wasn't super close with this one.
I don't like you telling us that.
Just tell us the question.
Oh, sorry.
Okay.
All right, fine.
Also, wait, sorry.
Before we even do this,
I have to say someone else emailed,
like one of the earlier people
I cut off the email,
but they were said,
my wife first heard me
listening to your podcast
when I had it on a speaker
while doing dishes.
And you were talking about
the two Yankees players,
wife swapping with swingers.
Fritz Peterson.
Of, yeah,
and Mike Kekich.
And she likes our show,
but she calls us the Swinger show now.
So I just wanted to note that.
Yeah, yeah.
That's fair.
This question is from,
Aaron.
Aaron.
Aaron.
Aaron.
Rogers?
I loved Danny Kelly comparing Jared Gough to a Ford Taurus.
As a 46-year-old, I also loved that Hy-Feed Crag had no idea what a Ford Taurus was.
That's so wild.
The first generation Ford Taurus.
That's a strange car.
Yeah.
The first-gen Taurus was introduced in 1985, ended in 2007, 34 years.
How many Ford Tauruses
Did Ford produce globally in those 30 years?
34 years?
Yeah.
How many four Tauri?
How many four Tauri?
How many Tauri?
How many Taurus?
I have no idea.
How many?
So it was popular.
Yeah, I don't know how many,
I just like a new concept of how many fucking cars they make.
Was it like Honda Accord popular?
I'm glad you asked.
I gotta fucking tell you the answers.
I'm glad you asked.
well, Aaron did.
Aaron said it has been surpassed by four other Ford models.
The F series, the Mustang, the escort, and the Model T.
The Model T.
I know he said that.
That's kind of funny.
Here's my gift to you.
Here's a, I don't know, 100% this is true, but I believe it was like the best
selling sedan for a stretch run there.
Craig, remember the better you know the thing, the worst.
Right, right.
I should just fucking say it.
They adore him.
He's going to come in last.
I think I would be way too high.
All right.
Three, two, one.
Ten million.
Oh, I went too low, maybe.
I said ten million.
I said one million.
Seventy million?
One million in 34 years?
I guess it's global, yeah.
What was it?
Seven and a half million.
Oh, nice.
I don't know, man.
I don't know how many cars were made.
Have you guys looked at a Fort Torres?
No.
Fucking ugly.
I was going to do it.
Maybe if I looked at it, I would have guessed a lower number.
I know, right?
I'm going to choose my best one.
My initial gut was a million a year.
But I guess I was like, wouldn't you buy it?
Dude, they sold a fuck ton of these.
What is the most popular car model right now?
What is, like, what's the best selling car model?
Ooh, that's a great question.
I believe, oh, there's an answer to this from a, was it burn notice?
There's a show where a guy steals a car and it's like you always steal, I think it's a, did you say a cord?
There's a, or Rav4, there's a, there's, Toyota Rav4, Honda, a cord.
it's got to be like a Honda Accord
I had a Honda Accord in high school
Yeah I think it's a Rav for an Accord
Because I saw anyone check of this
Should I look?
I had a black 1999 Honda Accord
Where you had to I had the cassette
That you put into the player
And then you could plug it into your phone
You know the cassette with the cord attached to it
And then you can plug it into your like iPod touch
That shit was the best
Okay so
As I suspected
Hold on now Austin's sending me something different
I looked up
world. Are we talking world or U.S.?
U.S. Okay, so
Austin said...
Ford Taurus is are ugly. Wow.
The Ford F-S.-Su-Su-V.
The best-selling vehicle in America?
Fucking Americans love their trucks.
F-U., yeah, Rav-4's SUV.
Yeah. F-Suris is pickup.
Oh, but the Ford F-150 or whatever,
those are the highest, are the most selling?
Yeah, but it says F-series. Are they including all...
Right.
Like, is it?
That's more than one car.
Right.
I found another thing that said the world's best selling car is the Toyota Corolla, which makes a hundred percent sense to me.
The Tesla Model Y is the second best selling car in the world?
Austin sent us an AI overview so I don't believe for a goddamn second.
Gemini?
No.
Please.
All right.
Anyway, it doesn't matter.
It's a Toyota Corolla probably.
So, okay, D.K., wait, so you get, who did you want, Brett and Strange?
All right, I'm going to go out of left field here.
I'm taking a leap of faith.
This is Monday.
Bears Vikings has not been played.
This could look very obvious or very dumb.
There's two people out there right now.
There's Dalton Schultz for the Texans who...
The Texans are out of tight ends.
They have four tight ends who are probably not playing the next two or three weeks.
So like Dalton Schultz played 95% of snaps this week,
which he did like once last year or like zero times last year.
So Schultz just going to play for the Texans?
He did get banged up in the game.
That's the thing.
So I kind of want to go with Cole Commet.
just because the Bears are going to play the Lions next week,
and the Lions defense is a mess.
And I know Cole Commet hasn't been incredible.
But I kind of want to go.
You can say that again.
Cole Commet had put up zero last week.
Zero targets.
I know. He hasn't played yet this week.
So the people listening to this,
if Colquette does okay on Monday football,
I'm like, I'd be okay with it.
The Niners, the Niners Bears game was a catastrophe.
Look, it's weird.
If you're plugging and playing a tight end this week,
it's not good things.
You can't even get your hands on Breton Strange.
It's tough times.
You can't get your hand on some strange?
now I got Craig you're going to start saying it now I am I'm gonna say
for nostalgia's sake yeah or something who are you picking Craig Mr. 70 million
not stone smart no one's taking stone smart I'm not I'm not I'm gonna fucking
10 million Ford Tauruses there should be I will die before I play stone smart in my
fantasy semifinals I love stone smart I'll go to the grave stone smart's gonna go off this
week just watch that is generally how it works look it's it's slim pickings out there I
will say for
that's a
subridden
carpet or
so
I might
still
Noah Gray
is Maham's gonna play
if Holmes
plays
I just may
we could go
and lay in
some hay
it's just
May
what do you say
what are we doing
that's a
Happy Gilmore bit
come on
catch up
when is that
from Happy Gilmore
remember when he's in
the bar
with shooter
you listen to
what I say
you'll pay
yeah
why don't I sit on some hay
and go hang out by
the bay
I just may what do you say
I love when he gets the beer bottle and he breaks it
and he goes
you want to go
Jesus I meant on the golf course
You know that's where I learned about the
concept of
That's where I learned the concept of breaking
A bottle for fight is from
That's super happy Gilmore
Jesus I met on a golf
Korn
Happy so he's like fucking ready to rock
He's like he's like
dude in the town. Jeremy Renner in the town.
He's like, yeah, where we, who's car we take?
Whose car we take? Who's car we're going to take?
I'm going to go with Joanne Johnson.
Okay, sure.
Tied in on the Saints. There are no players on the Saints anymore.
Alvin Kamara being out is like a third of their targets are up for grabs.
Cool.
That's what I'm doing.
This is awful.
I went over three on.
Tough slack Jones and Mac Jones and Britt and Strange and then on the scale.
and then we get like, you know, Spencer Rattler, Jake Hainter.
Rattler and we got the Rattler and the Rizzler.
Routler and the Rital.
My God, I didn't realize that.
All right.
Quarterback, if you need a quarterback, which I hope you don't.
I mean, dude, this is insane, but I feel like you're looking at Aaron Rogers.
No, Aaron Rogers is the play.
Or Drake May versus the Bills, which is like so dumb, it could work.
He runs around.
He runs.
He's good.
The bills will be up a lot and then you'll get the garbage time.
It's like I don't watch the game thing.
But hopefully you don't need a quarterback at this stage.
defenses. Now we can talk real quick. Defenses.
All right.
If the bill's defense is available, good odds.
I know we've been talking about picking them up and stashed them for this week,
but I assume that no one played the bills against the lion.
So they might be on waivers.
Check if the bills are available.
They play the Patriots and then the Jets.
Don't care how well Rogers played.
Like I think you could play bills for both those weeks.
That's definitely top priority.
Tampa Bay.
If Tampa Bay is available,
Tampa Bay plays Dallas with Cooper Rush,
then Carolina with Bryce Young.
So Tampa Bay could get you through the next two weeks.
The Titans play the Colts in Anthony Richardson,
and then they play the Jags and Mack Jones.
The Titans defense, maybe, like, super available.
Like, I think the Titans one could be really good for you,
especially because I'm sure people did not play them against the Bengals.
So I think the Titans one could be great, sneaky great turnover potential.
Texans,
if Patrick Mahomes misses this game and Carson Wentz is the quarterback for
the Chiefs, anything is possible.
So I would say keep an eye on Texans defense because I, you know what?
I don't even know.
And then Bengals are playing the Browns.
Really weird to suggest the Bengals defense in any context whatsoever.
But the Bengals defense, they're playing James Winston, and I feel like that's all that
I need to say is that the Bengals are playing James.
And then Colts are playing the Titans.
So it's either going to be Will Levis or Mason Rudolph.
So I know that's a lot of defenses, but I think those,
Like, there's definitely one or two available of all those defenses.
And I hope that they can help you win.
Did you mention Atlanta?
Would you even consider starting Atlanta against the Giants?
Yeah, definitely.
You could definitely do that.
That's also really good.
There's like a weird amount of good defenses available.
I mean, yeah, dude, the Giants suck.
I don't know if you noticed.
Is it going to be Drew Locke after this week?
Yeah, the irony is they would have started playing Daniel Jones again.
This is probably why they cut him.
It's because they're like, yeah, these other guys suck.
And we're going to have to put Daniel Jones in.
Daniel Joe's like I just I refuse to go back in for this.
What is your guys this unbiased taking all the planes
they're flying over a giant stadium?
Oh the drones?
Oh no, that's in New Jersey.
Like I guess so is the stadium.
Maybe they should get the drones to fly over the stadium and that fire like
Maybe could we just get a drone as a quarterback for the Giants?
Honestly, yeah.
Couldn't do worse.
All time quarterback.
You aren't the,
they're flying planes over with like that says like John Mara make a change or something.
Right.
We're going to keep flying these goddamn planes until you make it change.
It's like the Giants fire Brian Daibald.
and Joe Shade and all the drones in Jersey, just go away.
Are plain advertisement complaints having a moment?
What's going on with that?
I think they are, actually.
Those guys must be so mad when the Giants turn a season around.
Going out of business.
Wait, hi, Fitz, did you pick a tight end?
I guess I waffled between Colt Comet.
He said, I'd rather die than pick Stone Smart.
I'm not thinking Stone's smart.
I said, Camet.
The guy had zero targets last week.
But it's this week is still laughing.
week because it depends on Monday and football.
True.
I would take Colquette if he does anything today and Dalton Schultz, but I know he's
little banged up, but I kind of would take Dalton Shultz anyway.
I'll take Dalton Shultz.
Fuck it.
That's right.
It's so funny because I quickly forgot, so quickly forgot who he picked because these guys are
just like- It's because they're all, they're all just sick for-
terrible options.
It just kind of enters your mind and immediately leaves.
Yeah.
It's like, yeah.
Kai, give us an update here on the trivia standings
because I have a little bit of a backslide lately for me, I think.
Yeah, it's getting close.
DK's in first.
Damn it.
16, correct.
Also, please feel free to check my math on any of this.
Craig's in second with 15 and high fits
closing the gap today with two wins at 14.
Wow, we're all right there.
Separated by one each.
16, 15, 14?
Whoa.
And now I will start cheating.
Yeah, you should.
Wow.
God damn it.
It's going to come down to the wire, folks.
It's going to be great.
Can't wait.
What's, did we, like, land on what happens for whoever wins?
Not really.
I don't remember.
We'll figure that for the playoffs.
We have some ideas cooking for the playoffs.
We do.
We have some good playoff bet ideas.
There'll be something with trivia waivers.
We'll do something with whoever got last has to pay for dinner or something.
No, no.
Should we tell people right now what we got cooking for the playoffs?
Yeah, yeah, the middle seat.
So we're going to have some kind of playoff competition.
And just so everyone knows, we're going to keep doing the show,
like through the playoffs, through the offseason, draft show, everything.
Like, please stick with us.
If this is your first season listening, I know a bunch of you guys are in your first season.
We cover the whole offseason, we cover the playoffs.
We still do Sunday recaps and Friday previews,
and we cover the offseason and coaches getting fired and hired and free agency.
And the whole shebang.
So please stick with us.
We do Oscars, NBA,
playoffs, March Madness, golf,
hockey, yeah.
Live.
Live, yeah.
We have to start watching stuff.
So we're going to do a playoff competition, TBD, exact what it is.
And the stakes are going to be, we're flying from New Orleans the week of the Super Bowl to L.A.
Well, the three of us are flying together from New Orleans to L.A.
The day before the Super Bowl.
The loser of our playoff competition will fly, will raw dog a middle flight, a middle seat.
A middle seat.
A middle flight.
Middle C.
I can't speak English.
they will sit between the other two people on the show
and you will not...
We got to book that flight.
I know.
You're a raw dog to flight.
Yeah, you really, you really should.
Imagine we can't get it.
We're going to have to go talk to it.
So we're going to be in the back of the plane.
We'll be in the last row and one of us will be in the middle.
Just standing forward.
David puttying it for four or five hours.
It's middle shark, if you will.
Oh.
Good callback.
We have to sit in a shark costume.
Imagine that.
What do you on the plane in that?
It's a great question.
Probably not.
Wow.
I feel like there's no issue.
I don't know.
You're concealing something.
I guess if you're going through security, you're fine.
I just feel like they wouldn't let you on a plane in a shark costume.
I don't know why.
You know,
if you've ever flown in a costume.
In a shark costume.
Let us know if anyone has any relevant history.
All right.
So yeah, wait, Kai.
Who are you picking right here?
I'm going to go with DK.
Very simply, I haven't gone with the TCU player in a while.
There really hasn't been a TCU player in this.
So Kendra.
Kendra.
He's back on the map.
Shout out.
Who won last week?
Last week, it's still kind of up in the air.
Because of sincere.
Because of sincere.
D.K. has 11.7 with Sean Tucker, Elijah Moore, no gray.
Craig, who I chose.
Patrick Taylor, Romeo Dobbs, and Joanne Johnson.
I mean, Dobbs was just like tearing us.
19.7.
Fuck.
Sorry.
And then hyphid says sincere McCormick, Adam Thielen, and Hunter Henry with 12.1.
So there's like a seven point gap
That's in CIR needs to close
Seven or eight point gap
Is pretty reasonable
We'll see
Possible
Okay
Okay
Thank you Kai
Of course
Ty doesn't have to sit in the middle seat
Lucky bastard
Guy gets first class
So here's a question
Did we just force him to eat disgusting food
If I lose I'm in the middle seat
And DK's watching a movie next to me
Can I kind of watch that movie
Over his shoulder or no
I've been wondering how we're going to enforce
this.
Absolutely not.
You cannot.
Like in theory,
no,
but like what,
I feel like it's D.K.
is going to be mad the whole time,
like looking like at like one of us.
Can I,
can I close my eyes and try to go to sleep?
No.
I have to stay awake and you can't close your eyes.
Yes.
I can't close my eyes.
You just have to fucking think,
pal.
What if I fall asleep?
Nope.
Waking you up.
Waking you up.
I hope you lose now.
Oh, man.
How long is this flight?
It's like four and a half hours.
If DK loses, he's definitely going to pull round.
Can change these rules.
Also, we should say the three of us have never been on a plane together.
Oh, yeah, that's the other thing.
We're going to put on social the process of how we board planes.
And so D.K. will be more fun.
He can assess Hyphitz and eyes.
I already know.
I already feel like, I know how Hyphitz does already.
He's got fucking shit everywhere.
He's got like his laptop at his hands.
He's got headphones.
One headphone in.
Like, he's got a fucking giant.
food thing that he's trying to carry
like asking people to like get by them.
He, Huyves is the one who buys like a cheeseburger and fries from the fucking restaurant inside
the airport and then brings it on to the plane.
Yeah.
Pops that thing open the second he's allowed to and starts eating.
What's your guys take on, by the way, I meant to ask this.
What's your take on?
You eat before the plane is my point.
Yeah, I agree with that.
What's your take on bringing a coffee on the airplane?
That's fine.
I always thought, I don't have anything like morally against it.
I always just thought it was kind of a bad idea because, number one, when you drink coffee, you have to shit.
Number two, when you drink coffee, you have to piss really bad.
I'm like, I'm not trying to like get on an airplane and then have to shit.
Well, you got to go aisle seat, maybe if you're a coffee drinker.
I just don't love when I sit down next to the guy and he's got like a salmon Caesar salad and he busts open.
I'm like, you couldn't have that before you boarded?
Come on.
Yeah, that's pretty chaotic.
Right.
I'm not a coffee guy in a plane.
Thank God.
That's good.
I will be if I have the middle seat
I'll probably have a hot seat
hot coffee you know lid try to spill
I'm gonna have a laxative if I sit in the middle seat
just to get you up every 10 minutes
it's just so I have something to do
I'm gonna find you in the back of the plane
at some different like chair
or some different seat watching a movie
DK I think you'll find me to be an exemplary
airplane guest partner
I think I can see that yeah
I do have to pee I pee a little bit though
so I'd do like the aisle
yeah I'm a peer that's fine that's fine
I don't mind getting up for when people need to get out
because then you can kind of stretch your legs a little.
It's fine.
Okay.
Emails?
Yeah.
I think you'll find me to be an exemplary plane border.
I didn't get in, get out.
You won't even know I'm there.
Real Milford, man.
We got two brains of dad, parent, mom emails of one of which is things your parents
were urgently texting you about.
That didn't matter.
And then also more things your dad claimed to invent.
So starting with just things your parents texted you about.
This one's from T.J.
Tj.
I work in an accounting firm.
And once a quarter, we spend a full day reviewing our internal process with the CEO.
I sat down for a quarterly meeting my phone buzzes.
I look at my phone.
The text from my dad says, quote, I need to talk to you ASAP.
Oh, I love it.
I start texting reply.
The CEO begins his presentation.
So I put my phone away.
two hours later, I call my dad.
It goes to voicemail.
So I text him, hey, I've been in meetings.
I'll call you back soon. He says, hurry.
With a period. Hurry.
Two more hours go by. I call him. I'm sweating. I'm nervous.
And I said, hey, dad, what's going on?
He goes, not a whole lot. Just working. How's your day going?
Oh, my God.
Was he like, was he messing with TJ? Or is that just how his, is that his normal behavior?
So that's what TJ said, basically. Like, what are you doing?
And he says, I just want to know what you want to do.
wanted for Christmas.
It was July.
There was a sale on Amazon.
I feel like retired people just like have nothing better to do.
Everyone's on their timeline.
I got to get ahead on Christmas shopping.
I'll get a call like 11 a.m.
I can't answer that.
I'm,
I have a job.
I'm at my job during the day.
Another one that I loved was this from Mike.
Mike.
Mike.
Mike, Mike.
A few years ago, my wife got a text from her dad asking her to meet him for lunch the next day.
She had a lot of meetings, so she tried to do a different day.
He says, no, it has to be tomorrow.
For the rest of the night, we were so worried.
Maybe he or my mother-in-law had cancer or something bad happened to one of her siblings.
Just what could this possibly be?
Sleepless night, a lot of anxiety.
God.
Turns out he just had a gift card to that restaurant and expired the next day.
dude it's it's the selective withholding of information yeah you know say that yeah say that they don't
charge you per word when they're texting i don't know if you know this oh you can explain
we also have a couple ones i love of like uh people claiming again we were like you know
dad's a dad claimed to invent the question mark my dad says he discovered jump shot yeah the jump shot
yeah my great yeah the turnaround jumper
I invented the turner-outic.
Someone emailed in and said there's a law professor at a college I'll withhold, but basically
every, she tells a lecture for 30 years she's told the story that, and I quote,
every year this professor makes a point to tell a very long story about how her father invented
Penny L vodka.
Penile vodka?
And it's been very, very thoroughly debunked.
I was going to say, isn't that like probably hundreds of years old?
Yeah, definitely.
And it's like been thoroughly debunked.
Anyway, he tells the story every year.
Doesn't care.
He accidentally, what he was doing is he's making pasta and he had a glass of vodka.
He's drunk and he spilled a little bit of it in his in the pan.
Oh, there's something here.
Another one here from Gabe.
Gabriel.
My dad swears up and down, he invented the backwards hat.
Fuck, that's awesome.
And he claims to have invented the rally hat.
The rally cap?
The story goes he was drunk at a college baseball game, dropped his hat, picked it up,
put it back on the wrong way and the team started winning.
But he put it on inside out?
That's what a rally cap is.
He got the rest of the crowd to turn their hats around too.
And Montclair State Hawks won not only that game, but every game the rest of the season.
Montclair State.
Hear me out.
It had to be.
Hear me out.
Wait, this is Gabe's father or grandfather?
His father.
Maybe he did.
How old is the rally cap?
It can't be that one.
I think the backwards hat is a crazy thing to say you invented.
The rally cap, like, I'm willing to hear him out.
I invented the backwards hat
is so fucking funny.
The rally cap
his exact origins are unclear.
It gained popularity in the late 70s or 80s.
Dude,
oh my God,
maybe he did.
No proof.
You can't prove that he didn't.
Wow.
Okay.
The 1982 giants are often credited
with popularizing the trend.
The best one of all time
is Dusty Baker
received the first high five.
that's like the greatest
we were talking about that
no
Dusty baker's like the fourth
gum for baseball
Dusty Baker has been every moment
he was like teammates with Pete Rose
and like he was there
for Barry Bonds
like Dusty Baker's been a part
of everything in baseball history
but he received the first high five
that like we have recordings of
basically when he was on the Reds
in the 70s and he thought
this was great thing
if he was like it wasn't a thing
and it's like his teammate just
snacked his hand
and he was like whoa what was that
there's something there
It's amazing.
One last one here from Andre.
Andre.
Andre.
This is special.
My dad insists he taught Magic Johnson everything he knows.
Of course.
Okay.
So Andre says, my dad's 6-6, and for years he told me that he was the first big guard in basketball.
Oh.
And for many years, I was like, Jesus, Dad.
like, you know, just to get me through these conversations.
And I took a visit to my dad's alma mater, Fisk University in Nashville.
I met some of his teammates that these stories began to, these stories aligned.
And a gentleman introduces me to a guy named Monk who played in a historically
great high school basketball team.
Monk says, man, your dad was the first big man we'd ever seen that could dribble the basketball
like that.
He'd be flying down the court, fro blowing in the wind is the way this guy described
his dad.
So he's like, so Andre's like, okay, maybe my pops was all right, basketball.
then Andre found a program that had his dad listed on the roster at Michigan State.
And his dad had said he quit before the first game because the coach told him that even
though he was better than the guys he would never play because he was a walk-on.
And there was like no proof of this.
You know, like I could have gone all state.
Coach didn't hate me.
Right.
Ten years ago, I get a call from my dad.
Come over.
I have a poster for you.
And I get there and he's got like a dozen signed Magic Johnson posters.
and he's got one for like his like one for Andre's sister,
one for Andre's stepmom, like all these ones.
And he's like hands Andre his poster.
And it says signed of Magic Johnson.
And it's a picture of the poster of Magic Johnson
and the picture of Magic Johnson signing the poster, both.
And it says to Ralph, his dad,
thank you for teaching me everything.
Thank you for teaching me basketball.
That's awesome
It says
It said thank you for teaching me basketball
Thank you for teaching me everything
It's something that magic would say
It is
Thank you for teaching me basketball
Thank you for teaching me basketball
Wow he's kind of always been that way
He's never changed magic

tweet.

Thank you, D.K.
Thank you.
I'll take more dad stories.
I'm obsessed with these.
I thought we were going to end it.
And I'm like, you know what?
Backwards hat.
If you got them, if you can top,
my dad says he invented the backwards hat.
If you can top that or your dad taught another NBA whole favor.
My hat blew around.
Lo and behold.
I was drunk.
It felt right.
It was on wrong.
Everyone copied me.

Thank you, Sean Lee's ping pong orchestra.

Yeah, what was going on?
Sean Lee's ping pong orchestra.
Yesterday you did Sabrina Carpenter.
I feel like I'm getting ping ponged here.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sean Lee's
Ping pong orchestra.
Explain, just tell me anything about that.
I don't know a lot about them, but they have one song that was really popular when I was like, I don't know, early 2000s maybe.
You guys might recognize it.
Let me play it for you real quick.
Sounds like a Mario song.
Yeah, I was going to say, is this an intro music to a video game?
Mario.
Sounds like he's in underwater world.
Something like a loading screen, yeah.
Anyway.
Maybe this was a very memorable song to think his youth.
And we're like, yeah, it sounds like the loading screen for Mario.
You know, what's funny is I'm used.
I'm looking this guy up and it says that he is known for creating the entire score for the acclaimed video game bully.
Oh, so you guys weren't off.
So he does have a bit of a video game.
Yeah, I'm on the Wikipedia too.
It says, inventor of the backwards hat.
Killer turnaround jumper?
Wow.
Thank you for teaching me basketball.
Thank you for teaching me basketball, Matt Johnson.
You guys were kind of close with the whole video game thing.
Well done.
Oh, he worked with Jeff Buckley
His music's in Oceans 13
The Breakup and CSI Miami
Hmm
Huh
What's the ping pong thing
About?
I don't know
Okay
Maybe come a little more prepared next time
He
Craig, do you like this?
He is the co-founder of the London-based
Yacht Rock duo Young Gunn Silver Fox
Along with Andy Platts
I don't know who that is
But that's cool
They didn't make the dock
on the cutting room floor.
Also, no, I will not come more prepared next time.
You have so many rules for me for this thing.
I'm just throwing out bands.
Do we?
All right.
What are the rules?
The rules are, let's spark some conversation.
What do you think our rules are?
Yeah.
What rules have I imposed on this?
Oh, you talk, okay, first of all, you say, oh, be more prepared.
Okay, fine.
You also get mad at me when I say something that's too popular.
Like the Beatles.
That's funny.
I actually, I like when you say something popular.
Like Sabrina Carpenter, I was delighted.
But I don't like when you start repeating.
You've said Katie Perry six times.
That's when I start to get up six times.
How many times can we have Katie Perry on the show?
Just feel like there's a lot of snip snap going on.
Because then if I talk about, if I mentioned somebody too obscure, you're like, okay.
Sean Lee's Bingham Orchestra.
What are we doing?
Which is definitely fake.
You may be learned something.
What is the correct reaction I'm supposed to have to Sean Lee's Pinkblong Orchestra?
Other than what's that?
Curiosity.
Intellectual curiosity, hi, Fitz.
Sean Lee's, ping pong.
That's what is that?
Sounds like a Sundance film.
With Andrew Garfield.
Anyway, check out that one song.
What's it called?
What do you think is the most famous band
that's tossed to fish at Pike Place?
Famous art musician that's tossed a fish at Pike's Place
or caught one, whatever.
Eddie Vedder's definitely done.
Yeah, I was going to say.
that's a good question
a lot of big ones
I'm sure
I'm sure
most famous bands
you think of Benita Fish has done it
AI I swear to God
dude why
who decided that every Google search
now would start with this Gemini thing
it's telling me Johnny Hahn
who the fuck is that
Johnny Han in the Tic Tac Orchestra
I think it gave me a list of people
who are playing music there now
I feel like Vettors is a safe bet
Yeah, that's what I was thinking too.
Bruce Springsteen.
It's going to be hard to beat.
Springsteen did it.
Oh.
The boss.
The boss.
He knows about it.
Boss himself.
Dude, I love the Bruce Springsteen
Santa Claus is coming to town song.
I think it's great.
That's a top five Christmas song for me.
I think me too.
It's so good.
I love the little intro and he's like,
Clarets, have you been good?
I love that.
Santa's going to get you new saxophone.
I don't.
I don't know this.
What?
I'm not.
The Bruce Springsteen,
Santa Claus is coming to town?
I'm not a big Springsteen guy.
But what about you throw on Christmas music?
It's in every playlist.
I probably would recognize it.
It's a live rendition of Santa Claus coming to town.
It's awesome.
It's magical.
Okay.
What if I would have said the boss?
Would you have been upset?
No, I don't think we've done Bruce.
I've definitely done Bruce.
Don't know about that.
He's wearing a beret in this photo.
I ain't never seen Springsteen in a beret.
I think he wears berets.
Does he?
Yeah.
I think he wears berets.
I think he's a beret guy.

uh yeah
wow he really looked like
Jeremy Allen White

boy caps

Jeremy Allen White's gonna play Springsteen
