Starting point is 00:00:00 If you're a fan of the inner workings of Hollywood, then check out my podcast, The Town, on the Ringer Podcast Network. My name's Matt Bellany. I'm founding partner at Puck and the writer of the What I'm Hearing newsletter. And with my show, The Town, I bring you the inside conversation about money and power in Hollywood. Every week, we've got three short episodes featuring real Hollywood insiders to tell you what people in town are actually talking about. We'll cover everything from why your favorite show was canceled overnight. Which streamer is on the brink of collapse? And which executive is on the hot seat? Disney, Netflix, who's up, down, and who will never eat lunch in this town again?
Starting point is 00:00:33 Follow the town on Spotify or wherever you get your podcast. 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.
Starting point is 00:01:09 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
Starting point is 00:01:23 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.
Starting point is 00:01:40 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.
Starting point is 00:02:00 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,
Starting point is 00:02:21 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,
Starting point is 00:02:34 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.
Starting point is 00:02:52 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.
Starting point is 00:03:07 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,
Starting point is 00:03:44 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.
Starting point is 00:04:03 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
Starting point is 00:04:19 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
Starting point is 00:04:36 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.
Starting point is 00:04:54 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.
Starting point is 00:05:13 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,
Starting point is 00:05:29 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.
Starting point is 00:05:45 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.
Starting point is 00:06:02 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.
Starting point is 00:06:19 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.
Starting point is 00:06:33 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.
Starting point is 00:06:57 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,
Starting point is 00:07:40 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
Starting point is 00:07:50 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.
Starting point is 00:07:56 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,
Starting point is 00:08:03 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.
Starting point is 00:08:15 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.
Starting point is 00:08:31 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.
Starting point is 00:08:47 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.
Starting point is 00:09:03 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
Starting point is 00:09:13 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.
Starting point is 00:09:26 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.
Starting point is 00:09:39 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.
Starting point is 00:09:58 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.
Starting point is 00:10:11 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.
Starting point is 00:10:21 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.
Starting point is 00:10:55 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.
Starting point is 00:11:10 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
Starting point is 00:11:29 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.
Starting point is 00:11:48 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.
Starting point is 00:11:59 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.
Starting point is 00:12:17 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?
Starting point is 00:12:28 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.
Starting point is 00:12:38 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,
Starting point is 00:12:51 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.
Starting point is 00:13:04 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
Starting point is 00:13:16 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?
Starting point is 00:13:36 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.
Starting point is 00:13:52 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.
Starting point is 00:14:09 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.
Starting point is 00:14:25 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,
Starting point is 00:14:39 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,
Starting point is 00:14:51 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,
Starting point is 00:15:04 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.
Starting point is 00:15:14 Those are my top three. Yeah. Craig. Who are you going? I'm going Dobbs. Okay. So it's Dobbs. Dobbs time.
Starting point is 00:15:21 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.
Starting point is 00:15:44 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.
Starting point is 00:15:59 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.
Starting point is 00:16:13 53-man roster? Okay. Okay, I think I got number. three, two, one. 28. Damn it. Oh, you guys went high.
Starting point is 00:16:28 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.
Starting point is 00:16:37 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.
Starting point is 00:16:50 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,
Starting point is 00:17:01 I said 9,000, you said 10. I said 28, you said 27. Sweet. So wait, Hifitz is taking Dobbs. I'll take McMillan.
Starting point is 00:17:09 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,
Starting point is 00:17:17 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
Starting point is 00:17:28 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.
Starting point is 00:17:40 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.
Starting point is 00:17:50 gets Jalen Mcmillan. I'm taking Romeo Dobbs. Who do you take? taking, Craig? Coke. Yeah, Coak is, yeah, Cochers already. The Coke.
Starting point is 00:17:55 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?
Starting point is 00:18:03 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.
Starting point is 00:18:14 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.
Starting point is 00:18:28 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.
Starting point is 00:18:43 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.
Starting point is 00:19:12 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.
Starting point is 00:19:30 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.
Starting point is 00:19:46 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.
Starting point is 00:19:59 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.
Starting point is 00:20:09 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.
Starting point is 00:20:17 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.
Starting point is 00:20:27 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.
Starting point is 00:20:40 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?
Starting point is 00:20:53 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?
Starting point is 00:21:03 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.
Starting point is 00:21:20 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.
Starting point is 00:21:45 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.
Starting point is 00:22:01 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.
Starting point is 00:22:19 Like that like, yeah. All right. Anyway. Oh, wait, trivia. Right. We, uh, it is the, Brenton looking for some strange showdown time. Great.
Starting point is 00:22:31 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.
Starting point is 00:22:40 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.
Starting point is 00:22:49 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,
Starting point is 00:22:57 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.
Starting point is 00:23:06 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,
Starting point is 00:23:17 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.
Starting point is 00:23:37 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.
Starting point is 00:23:55 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,
Starting point is 00:24:09 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.
Starting point is 00:24:25 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.
Starting point is 00:24:42 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.
Starting point is 00:24:51 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.
Starting point is 00:25:03 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?
Starting point is 00:25:14 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?
Starting point is 00:25:39 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
Starting point is 00:25:59 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
Starting point is 00:26:13 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?
Starting point is 00:26:31 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?
Starting point is 00:26:47 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.
Starting point is 00:27:06 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.
Starting point is 00:27:20 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?
Starting point is 00:27:43 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.
Starting point is 00:27:56 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.
Starting point is 00:28:11 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
Starting point is 00:28:31 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
Starting point is 00:28:48 I might still Noah Gray is Maham's gonna play if Holmes plays I just may we could go
Starting point is 00:28:59 and lay in some hay it's just May what do you say what are we doing that's a Happy Gilmore bit
Starting point is 00:29:06 come on catch up when is that from Happy Gilmore remember when he's in the bar with shooter you listen to
Starting point is 00:29:13 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
Starting point is 00:29:26 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
Starting point is 00:29:38 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.
Starting point is 00:29:57 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.
Starting point is 00:30:15 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.
Starting point is 00:30:38 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.
Starting point is 00:30:55 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.
Starting point is 00:31:11 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,
Starting point is 00:31:27 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.
Starting point is 00:31:52 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.
Starting point is 00:32:17 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.
Starting point is 00:32:32 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.
Starting point is 00:32:47 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?
Starting point is 00:33:06 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.
Starting point is 00:33:17 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.
Starting point is 00:33:39 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
Starting point is 00:33:58 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.
Starting point is 00:34:16 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.
Starting point is 00:34:33 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.
Starting point is 00:34:50 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.
Starting point is 00:35:08 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.
Starting point is 00:35:20 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.
Starting point is 00:35:37 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.
Starting point is 00:35:56 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.
Starting point is 00:36:16 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.
Starting point is 00:36:27 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.
Starting point is 00:36:42 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.
Starting point is 00:36:51 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.
Starting point is 00:37:05 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.
Starting point is 00:37:18 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.
Starting point is 00:37:31 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.
Starting point is 00:37:47 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
Starting point is 00:37:58 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
Starting point is 00:38:12 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,
Starting point is 00:38:22 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.
Starting point is 00:38:31 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.
Starting point is 00:38:44 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.
Starting point is 00:38:58 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.
Starting point is 00:39:13 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.
Starting point is 00:39:31 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.
Starting point is 00:39:48 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.
Starting point is 00:40:12 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
Starting point is 00:40:25 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
Starting point is 00:40:43 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?
Starting point is 00:40:59 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.
Starting point is 00:41:24 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.
Starting point is 00:41:44 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.
Starting point is 00:42:01 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?
Starting point is 00:42:24 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.
Starting point is 00:42:45 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.
Starting point is 00:42:58 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.
Starting point is 00:43:23 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
Starting point is 00:44:05 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.
Starting point is 00:44:28 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.
Starting point is 00:44:48 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.
Starting point is 00:45:07 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.
Starting point is 00:45:18 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.
Starting point is 00:45:36 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.
Starting point is 00:45:49 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
Starting point is 00:46:02 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
Starting point is 00:46:12 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
Starting point is 00:46:23 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.
Starting point is 00:46:45 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.
Starting point is 00:47:09 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.
Starting point is 00:47:34 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.
Starting point is 00:47:50 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.
