Welcome to the Ring of Fantasy Football Show.
My name is Danny Hypatts and I'm joined by Danny Kelly
and Craig Horlebeck, who is back.
We're going through our most staff players after week 10.
Here's how works.
We're going to go through position by position.
We're just going to pick our top guy at that position,
but then we're going to fight over who gets the guy.
So we're doing trivia.
It's a tiebreaker.
It's not that complicated.
You'll figure it out, I promise.
Email us to ringer Fantasy Football at gmail.com.
We want to send us trivia questions.
We love an inside joke.
We love us something about a Cloy's box or an old, random, old-timey person, or, you know, whatever, whatever floats your boat.
DKKs at Danny B. Kelly on Twitter.
He's a waiver column also at Fantasy Football.com.
That goes live Wednesday.
A lot of plugs.
Weird order.
Craig's at Craig Horrell back on Twitter.
I'm Danny underscore Hyfitz.
God, we're going into week 11 now.
That's pretty crazy.
The team's on by.
It's fine.
Atlanta Falcons, Colts, Patriots, Saints.
It's fine.
Like, you're running backs.
It's like you lose Bijon, Ramantra, Camara, John Taylor.
Other than that, oh, no, it's like Chris a lot.
Bobby Michael Pittman, Tays some hell.
It's fine for a by week.
Like, it's like the best you could possibly ask.
Could be worse. It could be a lot worse.
Yeah.
So without further ado, D.K., please give us your number one running back, waiver wire ad,
entering week 11.
Sweet.
I want to preface this with saying if Devin Singletary is out there, he just, he's above our threshold
here, but he should definitely be picked up.
That being said, I'm going to go with Tite Chandler for the Vikings.
Who you guys got?
I did the same thing.
I also did the same thing.
Sweet.
Wow.
Tite Chandler showed up.
time off the top.
Are we going to talk about him
after showdown time then, I assume?
Want to do the showdown and then come back around
and explain why we did tie and then...
Let's do it.
Yeah, sure.
All right, it is the Thai Chandler.
Showdown time.
Woo!
I wish we could hear the gong, but we can't.
I mean, we could, but it's like a pain in the ass for Kai to do that.
Yeah.
This is from Austin.
Austin.
Austin.
Austin?
No.
Maybe.
There's so many.
Do you know how many Austens there are?
I don't know.
Is that the trivia question?
someone can send that in the whole trivia thing started because we were guessing where nick
fulses from and then it turned out austin but we got the mileage like we built a perfect
triangle equilateral triangle of the war of the united states the lore how many from austin how many
times is sunny said in the first godfather hey you nailed it how many times is the name sunny
said or sonny it's up to i may have it's up to interpretation really wow no i don't think so scholars
in the first Godfather movie.
Okay.
I think I got an answer.
Three, two, one.
Six.
18.
Six, I see.
Six is low.
Well, he dies like halfway through the movie.
Spoilers, Greg.
It came out 50 years ago.
If D.K. is right, then I don't think I should be shamed.
If it's only six times in a three-hour movie, then I feel like it's fine.
Again, he dies halfway through.
But I said 18.
What did you say?
I said 25, which feels very high now.
All right.
Did you know he dies?
I'm a little worried.
Yeah, I saw the movie.
The total...
Well, you didn't know how to pronounce his name.
So I don't know.
The answer is 44.
Oh,
44.
Wow.
I felt like this was a trick question.
That's why I went low.
But that makes sense.
It's like, it's funny.
The trivia actually ends up being a lot like if you have a league with free agent
auction bidding, which is hilarious because it's a better way of doing waivers because
it's just everyone has the same amount.
But sometimes someone will bid like $80 on a running back, but then no one else bid.
And that's how I feel sometimes when we're just so wrong on these answers.
I get Tide Chandler.
It's hilarious, though, that not only do we all lowball how much they said the name Sunny,
you guessed the highest number, and it was in fact higher than that.
And yet you're the one who mispronounces his name.
Sonny?
I would never.
That's crazy they say it 44 times in like half a movie.
I've never mispronounce the name.
I get Tichandleier.
No.
So Ty Chandler running back for the Vikings.
Alex Madison has a concussion, and then Camer Acres, already toured his Achilles.
So Camerakers is done, and if Alex Madison can't play, it's like what, Tail Chandler and
Miles Gaskin?
And he had a touchdown this week.
So I feel like Ty Chandler just might be starting running back this week and also might just
split with Madison the rest of the season.
Well, they're playing the Broncos on Senate at football, which should not go understated.
The Broncos are terribly terrible defensively.
And even before Madison got hurt, Chandler was mixing in.
They were basically splitting carries in the first half.
And then Madison went down with the concussion in the third quarter.
So, look, again, it's not like Ty Chandler's an elite talent or anything like that,
but in the same way that Madison was like, he's there and that's his best quality,
Ty Chandler's there.
Madison and Tide Chandler are like the poorest possible version of Zeke and Tony Pollard
where like Alex Madison is pretty plotting and not good.
And Tide Chandler, in comparison, like a revelation when you watch it.
He's got the juice.
It's got the juice.
I've always liked this guy ever since the track.
The whole team has the juice.
Yeah.
I'm excited to see this.
All right.
So I get Todd Chandler, Craig.
You get, you get second.
D.K. gets the dregs of the sixth mentions of sonny and the grandfather.
I've been really struggling with the trivia lately.
I know.
I'm keeping tally.
I haven't added it all up yet.
I don't.
If we want like a status check, I can give one next week.
But I think I'm last.
I don't know who's winning.
Man, I'm between Keith Mitchell for the Ravens and Zach Charbonneigh for the Seahawks.
Charbo's still out there?
Wow.
Yeah.
People have just been ignoring us.
I guess people who play ESPN.
leagues don't listen to our show because he's 39% rostered there.
So Keith Mitchell, for context for the Ravens, had one of the weirdest stat lines I can
ever remember, which is his first carry was a 39-yard touchdown.
And then the next drive, he got a 32-yard catch.
And then he got two more carries the rest of the game for negative five yards, which
I don't know how many times that's ever happened.
Have two 30-plus-yard touches, and then two that got negative, and then that's it,
without an injury.
I think he's, I mean, he had a hamstring injury coming into the week.
And I think he wasn't 100% healthy because, yeah, he had four touches.
and they're playing Cincinnati on Thursday night.
I think I'm going to go with Charbonnet.
They're playing the Rams,
and Charbonnet is 100% the passing down guy now.
He has replaced DJ Dallas.
He plays all the two-minute drills,
all the third and longs,
and the Seahawks have just like run a ton of plays
and have been in negative game scripts a lot lately.
The Seahawks have actually run the second most plays
in the two-minute drill.
Oh, that's interesting, yeah.
In the last two weeks.
And so that's how Sharbonne has really taken off.
So it's a more even split now
Like Kenneth Walker is truly just like the first and second down guy
And then Charbonne's a third down guy
They're playing the Rams
So I think I'm gonna stick with Sharbon
I think it's a little bit safer
I don't know I don't trust anything that's going on in Baltimore's backfield ever
Yeah I get that
It's a three man backfield where the best running back is actually the quarterback
So it's like a four man backfield nightmare
But they've ever really been running him a lot it feels like
But all that is true
I'm still going to take Heath Mitchell just because look at the man
He's freaking good I mean he's explosive as fuck
and so I like to kind of at least, at the very least,
put those guys on my bench and see if it, you know, pans out that they're getting
a lot of touches.
Obviously, this last week was a little bit disappointing, four touches,
but he did score a touchdown.
So that's great.
So I'm going to go.
He looks really good on the touchdown, too.
I mean, he's like Devon A-chan level burst and speed, you know, it's like.
Like if A-chan is Ricky Bobby, then Keith Mitchell's like Cal Norton.
Right.
It's like a poor man's version.
But I just want to see what he can do in this offense.
So I'm at very least putting him on my bench.
and if they can make it a two-person backfield
versus like a three or four like you were saying,
if it's,
then that's where he starts to become much more valuable down the stretch.
The other guy I would mention here,
well, there's a couple guys.
I would mention Rico Dowdell for the Cowboys
who has been playing very well
in contrast to our boy Tony Pollard
who has just been really struggling efficiency-wise.
And there's a chance here that the Cowboys
decided to start using Dowdell a lot more.
And honestly, they'd probably be good for Pollard.
Like it would probably be a situation where Pollard
gets better if they start using Dowell-Wall
more.
Do you think,
do you think
Pollard is the biggest
whiff of this show's history?
I think,
yes.
Hyphids says that.
Because we were all aligned.
It's not like a Josh Jacobs thing
where like it was,
that was just a hyphitz thing.
This was all three of us said
on the Bill Simmons podcast
is our favorite player
in the draft.
Yeah,
this is the only people in fantasy that like
number one.
Matt Barry always jokes about how he like
he like said Michael Vic
should be the number one
picking a draft and that was like
his biggest miss.
I feel like this is our Vic.
Yeah,
no, I'm fine to say this is the biggest whiff.
By low though.
hold the line.
We're going to the moon.
The only thing worse is selling low and then
you just do a whole buy high, sell low thing.
Let's just never talk about Tony Pollard again is the deal, I think.
People are singing with it.
I will say Rico Dowdell, you can actually just play this week
because the Cowboys are playing the Panthers
and the Panthers run day like that game.
Never a normal game.
They really, Cowboys really don't play normal games.
So Dowdell probably is just as good of a chance to score as Pollard does.
And then also just if anything happens to Pollard,
Or maybe the Cowboys starting running back job is just cursed.
And whoever the backup is just like gets to be the Blue Mountain State.
I mean, Zieg was amazing for like six straight years.
What are you talking about?
Not six.
He was amazing for three and then he was bad for three.
What?
You give him bad for three years, even in fantasy terms?
He declined.
Last year he had 12 touchdowns.
And then they replaced him and he went to New England.
Yeah, but the guy who replaced him is terrible.
All right.
The guy replaced and broke his leg
in this year,
which I will never ever just be like,
that's fine ever again.
That's my memento tattoo for this year.
No broken legs in the year of
for a guy who has to run in his job title.
Anyway, Rico Dattle,
the other guys who I think are a one week filling,
like if you do have a Camara,
Jonathan Taylor,
you know, those Bijan,
those guys run by.
Daryl Henderson for the Rams
or Royce Freeman,
which is a real like,
you know what?
Sometimes Tommy Pickles,
a baby's got to do it.
A baby's got to do.
Like, it's not pretty.
It's short term.
It's just a little fling.
like Kairn Williams is probably back in week 12
but week 11 it's like they're here
Darrell Henderson's there
they're on waivers they exist and they will play
and they'll get 12 touches
and if that's all you can do that's all you can do that's fine
yeah
more stashes obviously
wow that was like the least enthusiasm
in the history of the show
I'm just saying if you literally just need
someone for this week that's too
but I wouldn't take them in any of their context
if you have the room for stash
the other guy is another guy that we just keep saying
but Tajay spirits for the Titans
Yeah, the Titans have the third easiest schedule in the playoffs for fantasy running backs.
So if something ever happens to Derek Henry.
We're at the point of the season where it feels like we're saying the same guys every week.
This is the state of the waiver wire.
Can I give a tiebreaker though?
I think the game theory for handcuffing running backs, it's like if you want that upside guy.
And again, the idea that your bench, you want like a lot of, if they're going to hit, they're going to hit big.
I like to look at, if you're like a contending team, I like to look at the one or two other teams that are really like your competition.
and if that team has Ken Walker,
then I want Charbonnet.
Or if that team has Derek Henry,
then I want Tadje Spears because it's like,
if there's an injury,
then they get weaker and your team gets stronger.
So it's just like a tiebreaker if you can't pick.
Joe Mixing Trevion Williams for the Bengals,
like he's there,
Kenneth Gainwell for the Eagles if the guy is Swift.
Like you just,
it's just like sometimes it can flip them match up.
That's a good one.
Wide receiver,
number one wide receiver entering week 11.
This one's tough.
I don't feel good about any of these.
I guess I'll just go with Noah Brown for the Texans.
You don't feel good about Noah Brown
and like,
320 yards in the last two weeks?
Right. Correct. That's what I, that's, I do not feel good about him having 150 yards again.
But you know what? As you said last week, maybe he'll do it again. Who knows?
I don't know what's cheating. I have Brandon Cooks here. And I don't know if that should count or not.
He's like 39% on Yahoo. And it's like tomato tomato. They both had an incredible week.
But I don't know what Brandon cooks are the two best. Yeah, I'll do cooks just because I know Cooks is starting.
We can talk about, we could do a little showdown. But I chose cooks just because number three receiver,
this week, but I was looking at the fantasy playoffs.
I think that I know
Cooks is going to play, whereas in Houston,
Noah Brown, I don't know what the deal is at the competition.
But the fantasy playoffs,
week 15, Cowboys are playing the Bills.
Then 16, Cowboys are playing the Dolphins,
17, the championship week, Cowboys are playing the Lions.
Those are like shootouts.
And I was like, damn, like Brandon Cooks can play for you this week,
but also like, I just like having him, like,
filling in for them too.
So that's my choice.
Yeah, Cook has a really good track record, which is the opposite of Noah Brown,
who didn't really do anything until like a month ago.
But that being said, I mean, if you look at his numbers,
he's had five plus targets in each of his last four games.
So he's definitely a big part of this offense.
This is a good quarterback like we talked about with C.J. Stroud and a sending offense.
Seems like they're very reliant on their passing game because their run game has been very hit or miss.
So, you know, there's a lot of variables that are working in favor of Noah Brown,
even though it does look like Nico Collins will be back soon.
Stroud is sick.
Yeah, Stroud is awesome.
MVP.
They've never, the Texans basically all year have never had all four of their top receivers.
was healthy. Nico Collins, Noah Brown, Tanktail, and Robert Woods. There's always like one guy out for
three weeks. So that's why the other three have been able to like fill in. So maybe now,
if Nico Collins is back next week, this will be the first time I think all four have been on the
field this year. So who's the odd man out? It's probably Robert Woods. But it's a lot of malice defeat.
Also Dalton Shulton's a tight end. They are playing the Cardinals though. So yeah, I'm going to stick with
the guy who's hot. I like Cooks. Cooks is like solid, but they're so hit or miss. Dallas, it's just
they're such a weird team.
It's like they just like,
it's like they go in deciding
who's going to have a good game
before the game actually starts.
Like the week before this one,
Brandon Cook's had one catch for seven yards.
Well, they never picked Tony Pollard.
That's the part.
They're punishing.
Now Milton just pass.
He doesn't get a touchdown.
So I will say the Noah Brown thing's weird
because I get what you're saying,
D.K., where it's like,
there's all this competition
and maybe he won't deliver,
but also his last two games
would have been the third best season
of his career.
Like literally the last two games
were better than any of his first.
four seasons. So I
do it that way you will. We'll ride the hot hand.
The coach thing. Let's write the hot hand here.
All right. So Noah Brown's showdown time.
Yeah, me and D.K., let's do it. It is the
Noah Brown
showdown time.
Oh, wow.
We heard the gong. He played the gong.
It's just so full of surprises these days.
Look who's growing up.
That really did invigorate me. I feel like
I feel like a different person.
It's so much better than we can hear that.
Very, that rattled me to my core.
Well, everyone now is listening.
is probably like, wow, they haven't heard the gong.
They just added it after. Maybe they feel lied to it.
But I'm like, yeah, this is just, this is a crazy.
Yeah. It's all AI now.
It's not even our real voices.
All right, this one's from Mike.
Mike, Mickey.
Is that, is that a thing?
Yes, we talked about this.
Mickey is short for Michael.
That's just someone who did what I did to Sani, but with Mikey.
Like, they were like, they read with decay and they read it as Mickey.
And then they had to add the seat if sound not.
like they were stupid.
So you think it was Mikey Mouse?
I, we're not doing this.
Michael M. Mouse.
Yeah.
Probably.
Michael Mouse was my father.
Please, tell me, Mickey.
I feel like this podcast has abandoned all of Rocket City.
So my trivia question is, how many games did the Rocket City trash pandas win in
2023?
Oh, no.
I don't even know how many games minor league teams play.
Do they also play 162?
That's the hard part.
Do they play that many?
I have no idea now that I think about it.
Like, are they AAA, double A, single,
Are they like a farm league?
I forget.
I don't remember.
Probably double A or AAA?
All right.
Were they good?
Were they good last year?
I don't know if they played 162 games.
So I'm going to go with a DK.
You ready?
Okay, yeah.
Three, two, one, 45.
Whoa.
Wow.
We were close.
I said 42.
He said 45.
The answer is 27.
All right.
Damn it.
I finally fucking won one of these things.
Fucking trash pandas or trash.
My instinct is that these minor leagues
Oh, they had 42 losses
These teams don't play, they don't play as many games yet
They were 27 and 42
They actually rocked
What level are they?
They're the Southern League North Division
That means nothing
And then they've
As opposed to the Southern League South, which is funny
So they play 69 games in a season?
Oh wow, that's such commitment to the bit.
Yeah, I guess they did.
That's crazy.
Huh.
That's like aggressive commitment to the bit.
They lost to the Tennessee Smokies who won the Southern League North.
The best names in sports are minor league baseball teams.
Not even close.
All right.
So I get Noah Brown.
The Biloxi Shuckers took the Southern League North, I think.
Southern League north, I think.
Southern League South, sorry.
The Biloxi Shuckers.
Yeah, you get Noah Brown, D.K.
Craig, I have Brandon Cooks.
You have to, now you have to pick from the Dregs.
I'm between two.
I'll work them out on air lives.
Michael Wilson for the Cardinals.
Now with Kyler back, he was like an inch away from a touchdown last week.
I think if he scored it, we'd be probably putting him higher on this list.
He only had three catches for 34 yards, but Kyler Murray looked all right.
And they obviously won.
And we've already seen Tray McBride kind of break out at tight end now.
And it's like, look, if Kyler can get back to even a portion of what he used to be,
Michael Wilson could have a solid stretch to finish the year.
And then the other guy I'm thinking about, God, I guess there's a lot.
Quinn Johnston scored a touchdown.
He is on the Chargers rookie.
He's basically shots out Kai, TCU.
He's basically a full-time starter.
I don't necessarily know how good he is.
He missed a big block on a play,
and he clearly just seems like he doesn't really know what he's doing out there.
But he's athletic, and he's a playmaker,
and Keenan Allen banged up his shoulder.
Mike Williams is out.
Josh Palmer is out.
Gerald Everett's beat up.
Yeah.
Like they don't have anybody, and they're playing Green Bay.
So, I still think he has the most, like, blow-up potential.
I think, like, he could have a Noah Brown, like, run
where he just, like, starts ripping off four catches for 120 years.
I agree, you could have a Noah Brown, like, run.
Does nothing for six years, and then seven years from now
just has, like, this incredible two-game stretch.
You know what's funny now?
I'm, like, thinking of this exercise differently now that I know that what is on the line
is Kai eating mac and cheese.
So I'm like, what is, like, I'm almost wanting to be.
to go safer now.
I don't know if I should shoot for the stars.
He's eating the mac and cheese.
That's locked in.
It's, you know, getting to pick the next thing.
I'm going to go with,
I'm going to go with Quentin Johnson.
Yeah.
All right.
So Keating Allen got banged up,
but you're right where Mike Williams is her too.
My only-
Palmer thing is like,
rest of the season,
you want Quentin Johnson to the upside,
but I'm like,
this week,
under my head,
I'm like Jalen Guyton for the Chargers.
Like, that's my only concern.
Where you're right,
it's like he's just boom,
I'm going for upside.
Yeah.
The other one I'd say,
you mentioned Chargers playing the Packers.
Dobbs.
Romeo Dobbs and Jaden Reed are both like pretty solid options.
Dobbs is probably more roster than Reed.
But Jane Reed's like a, I mean, at times looks like one of their better receivers.
Dobbs.
Dobbs is still under 40% on ESPN.
You know Romeo Dobbs is tied for third in the league in touchdowns at the wide receiver position?
He has six.
Really?
And the Packers have always, always had one guy at some time that has just scored way more touchdowns
them was ever made sense.
Like James Jones did it.
And then Jordy Nelson did it forever.
And then Devante Adams.
Like they have this like weird streak of someone on the Packers that isn't even that good has always had like double digit touchdowns.
And I don't know.
Maybe Dobbs is taking out.
He made some throws this week.
I hope so.
He's a quarterback.
19 points.
Impressive.
Thanks.
The other one I want to shout out also is like if you for this week only along the lines of
Rams running backs, not very exciting, but only for this week.
and then you cut him a Trent and Irwin
because T. Higgins is not going to play.
It's not fun, but it's like if you had to pick someone in,
but he's just like kind of the T. Higgins when T. Higgins isn't there.
And then Pop Douglas, who's unbye.
But, you know,
you mentioned him every week.
D.K.'s favorite.
He just goes out and has double-digit fantasy points.
No big deal.
A couple of other guys want to mention here,
A.T. Perry for the Saints,
looked like he is the next man up if Michael Thomas miss his time.
I think Rashid, too, if he's out there.
But it's looking like...
They're on by, but yes.
Yeah, there's a chance, though, that Michael Thomas
has a, I think the coaches there said it was somewhat serious.
We still don't know exactly the deal.
So pay attention to that.
If Michael Thomas is going to miss extended time.
For Rashid, it's like if James Winston, Derek Carr probably may not miss time,
but if Derek Carr misses time, I think Rashid Jehid is a must add.
Yeah.
Like if Derek Carr at any point is announced as like a absence,
the difference between Rashid Jehijid being a deep threat for Derek Carr
and being a deep threat for James Winston cannot be overstated.
Right. Right.
And then he's playing tonight, but Khalil Shakur for the bill.
is another one to keep in mind.
All right, DK,
give me number one tight end for week 11 waivers.
Well, obviously,
if Trey McBride is out there,
go grab him.
He's over the limit for us.
But, man, I guess I'm going to go
with Luke Musgrave for the Packers.
It came down to a couple guys,
but Luke Musgrave,
just because he has explosive potential
more than some of these other guys.
Like, he had two catches
for 64 yards this last week,
so he can go deep.
I went with him as well.
He had 64 yards last week.
He's basically,
he's come on a little bit.
in the last month.
For the last five games,
he's had either 50 plus yards
or four catches.
So it's just Jordan Love.
Like, if Jordan Love can kind of figure it out,
they're playing the Chargers.
Again,
a really exploitable past defense.
So I went with Musgrave.
Yep.
It's weird.
It's cheating because Pat Friarmouth is available.
Like, he probably is returning for week 11,
but also.
That's not cheating.
He was on this list and I did not select him.
You can have him if you want.
Craigs.
All right.
I'll take Patty fresh.
Yeah.
Screw it.
Nobody can.
has more than 40 yards a game in this offense.
There's no passes to the middle of the field either.
Yeah.
That's because Patty Frye's been hurt.
I guess, man.
I mean, George Pickens, 45 yards, leading receiver on four targets.
The Steelers don't want to throw the ball.
I mean, they want to throw the ball to lumbering white tight ends.
It's like in their DNA.
High Fitz is going all in on Patty Fries.
It's going to die on the Patty Fries Hill.
They're playing the Browns this week.
Patty Fries will persevere.
High Fis can't come off Patty Fries now.
It's too late.
He's too dug in.
So you're taking Patty Fries, which is great because that means that D.K.,
the loser amongst us in this trivia matchup is probably just going to get Michael Mayer, which I'm fine with.
Showdown time.
You guys show.
Luke Musgrave.
Oh, okay.
It's the Luke Musgrave Showdown time.
Oh, my God.
Wow.
The reverb.
That's good.
That's good.
That's so sick.
All right.
This is from Caleb.
Caleb.
Williams?
Our boy.
What's he doing?
Took another L this week.
Craig's go hard on him.
Geez, man.
I'm a nurse who works at a hospital that uses a charting software.
You know, you input information for patients.
How many different ways are there for me to input to describe a patient's urine?
Whoa.
Like the color question.
Like you click on it at the drop-down menu.
How many options are in the drop-down menu to describe the urine of a patient?
Interesting.
I thought this was the best question in a while.
while of like, wow, I have never
thought about that. D.K., how many could
you rattle off, you think?
Like, colors?
How many, how many, how many,
well, is it just colors? I don't think it just has to be colors.
Smells, levels of things.
It's pungent.
I don't know, zero. I don't even know where to start
with this.
Bloody?
That's the, I will rule out.
There's no chance to answer zero.
Someone wrote this whole email.
I'm answering Craig's question of how, where,
how many I could start with.
I don't even, come on.
Like varying levels of color, yellow, clear, bloody.
Bloody.
That's not good.
Wow.
How many different things?
Okay.
To be clear, that wasn't my answer.
I was just like I didn't know where to start.
Okay, that makes more sense.
Also, while you guys think, I would like all the doctors and nurses to please email in at ringer fancy football at gmail.com, just explaining all these different states of urine.
Because I think this is, you know, it's our body.
This is nothing to be ashamed of.
and we all can learn a little bit more.
Quick side note here while we think.
I was on a plane yesterday flying from North Carolina.
Wi-Fi.
I paid for the internet and I was able to watch football on the plane.
It was thrilled.
There was an emergency on the plane.
There was a medical emergency.
It's something you only see it, I feel like, in the movies.
The pilot asked if there's anybody on board who was a medical professional,
nurse, PA, doctor, whatever.
And, you know, I was on whatever, normal-sized plane,
probably like almost 200 people on the plane.
We only had one person who worked in the medical.
field. And Liz and I, my wife and I were talking, we were like, does that feel like a higher
low number that only one out of 200 work in the medical field? And I was just wondering, like,
what percentage of people work in medicine or in the medical field? You know, one in 200? Like,
is that low? Or is that, does that sound right to you? It feels low. I could, I can rattle off.
I know probably like 10 nurses right now, just like that I'm friends with. You know what I mean?
Like, it feels like there's a lot of people in the medical field for all the different levels.
I know. Anyway, the person ended up being fine. Everything was okay, which is good.
I thought you were going to go on a tangent about the color of your pee there.
Because you don't want to drink too much fluids when you're flying because then you have to get up every 10 minutes go pee.
So you're just like dried out like a raisin. You're drier than Kai's food.
Dude, I know. I would have to see killers of the flower moon. And I felt so strategic.
I'm like, how much liquid do I drink today? This four hour movie.
You legitimately have to treat it like a flight.
I googled. I literally Googled when's the best time to pee.
during Killers at the Flower Moon.
And it was super helpful.
Oh, really?
I wouldn't pee, no matter what.
I don't pee during movies.
I will hold it.
But like, at that point, what is this?
340 runoff?
I'll hold it forever.
The first, last hour, like,
it will be hard for me to enjoy the final,
if I have to pee for an hour.
Just all I think about.
It's like, rather just not.
So anyway, luckily, you know,
Reddit threads are just like,
hey, it's, and there is an answer.
You know what they should do?
Each theater should have its own private bathroom.
And then when you go into that bathroom,
the movie is playing.
in the bathroom. Oh, that's brilliant.
That's an incredibly
specific, thoughtful, and
extremely not cost-effective option, but that
would solve the entire problem.
I don't know. One bathroom
per theater? Is that ridiculous?
I mean, Russell Wilson has like 20 bathrooms in his house.
He's just making a movie theater.
Does he have one in his theater? I don't know.
Probably. I ever told you guys that in Fort Myers
there's like this bar that I've gone to
that like they just have Kenny Powers
playing on a loop in the bathroom
and I'm like, why doesn't every bathroom
have Kenny Powers playing in a loop?
Good point.
I love a TV in a bathroom.
Big fan.
If I'm ever, if I ever have the, you know,
a Russell Wilson like house,
I'm going to put a TV in there.
All right.
You guys get to answer the question
about the urine and how many kinds of you in there.
Oh yeah, right.
Real quick, real quick.
The bathrooms in Indianapolis
where we go for the combine,
what's the place called?
Hyfitz, the Indianapolis?
No, the bar that we go to.
Convention center?
Whatever, it doesn't matter.
Their bathroom has like TVs right in front of the
urinals. I'm like, cool it, cool in concept. You can't watch a TV when it's like three inches
from your face, though, and you're trying to piss. Like, it doesn't make any sense. It's right
in your face. If you're three inches. If you're like eight inches away, times of rats, that's
really very well proportion. Craig's dad's famous joke. He's like, oh, this water's cold.
Yeah. If you ever in a urinal, yeah. And just, just after about three seconds at PM,
just be like, this water's cold. Let that, let that marinate.
about four seconds and then go and deep.
That's the best.
Oh, boy.
Anyway, yeah, let's do the trivia.
How many ways to describe urine?
How many options are there to describe urine?
All right.
I think, I guess I have an answer.
Yeah, me too.
Three, two, one, go.
28.
8.
28?
28?
That's a lot.
Now I'm thinking it might be more than eight.
The answer is 20,
Wow, good job, Craig.
24 ways that pee can look
or smell, I guess.
Wow, Caleb actually attached
a lot of the...
Oh my God, please read them.
Okay.
Oh, my God.
Okay.
The 24 ways that pee can look.
Clear, clots,
cloudy, concentrated,
frothy.
Yeah, okay.
Mucous threads, odorous, sediment,
stone, plurals,
like stones.
Bright, dark, light.
This sounds like beer now.
Bright, dark, light.
So like you can select brown, green,
orange, pink red, straw colored,
tea colored, yellow, clear yellow
without foul odor.
It's like a bunch of beer crayon colors
in the middle.
Yeah.
Pink red, straw colored,
tea colored sounds like crayons.
Wow.
Wow.
Which one is the sounds
the most alarming?
Frothy?
Froth.
Mucous threads.
Frothy sounds like your pee has rabies.
God.
I think it has to be like
Stone, right?
Because Stone, it's like,
I don't want a kidney stone.
Yeah, those things are not fun.
TK., you've had a kidney stone.
Yeah, not fun.
I should guess if it's in the end,
it's fine.
You don't recommend it?
Mm-mm.
All right, I'll cancel my plans.
Just drink a lot of water.
You'll be fine.
Football, I don't remember what's going on.
So I get Luke Musgraves.
You have Pat Fireman's Hyattis and T.
That's a sentence sort of scouragami.
That's a set and squiragami right there.
Oh, man, frothy P.
That's probably way worse than mucast
threads. Anyway, Luke Bustrae, he's fine.
So, D.K., you're up.
I'll take Michael Mayer then.
Dude, he had a really nice touchdown catch. Michael Mayer
is good and will be good. Yes.
I just don't know if it'll work out right now.
Michael Mayer is the new, for this season
is the touchdown or bust
tight end. It's like he's going to have a really
cool touchdown or not.
And he's like a much more
fun, much more fun version of like how
Mo Ali Cox was when they threw him the ball a lot.
But I feel like that will define your
your happiness with Michael Mayer.
But he is incredible to watch.
I want to pull up my scouting report with him
because, like, truly, when I was watching him in college,
he is like one of the best, if not the best,
jump ball tight ends like I've ever watched.
It's insane.
I said, mayor's built like a tank and plays like one,
consistently out-muscling smaller defenders.
He has good body control and coordination as a receiver
and has a huge catch radius and extremely strong hands.
I just love, like, it's always fun when it's like,
he does the things that you saw in college.
And it's like going up and winning that ball.
is like, that's exactly why I loved it.
You also left out the best part that is the Lord of the Rings
berserker, which is exactly true with the
ball in the sand from the Lord of the two buildings.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, the two buildings movie.
I realized that as I was watching that clip,
like when he dives into the underneath the bridge,
it's almost like diving into the end zone and then like,
or not the bridge, but the wall or whatever.
Yeah.
What's great about that comment hyfitz is that if people
never listen to that episode, they think you're the idiot.
That's true.
Oh, yeah, you're right.
Yeah, Craig called it Lord of the Rings, the two buildings,
but you're right.
Now people took that me.
Did you see Greg someone sent us like a movie poster with like the two towers replaced just by like buildings?
The two buildings.
Also the thing about Lord of the Rings is my brother watched it on a plane the other day and he's like,
if you just skip through the old Gallum stuff, which is incredibly boring and about the nature of man and corrupted by power, skip.
The movie's half an hour.
It's the best thing it's ever been made.
It's just the fight scenes.
Yeah.
I do that actually.
Yeah.
No one likes Gallum.
Also, my absolute desperation tight-end flex play, or like if you're like deep bad, Donald Parham Jr., Craig's nemesis.
Gerald ever got hurt again.
Donald Parham.
That's my like dart throw.
Wait, let me give one.
Tanner Hudson.
Yeah.
Stop.
Cincinnati Bengals.
12 targets last two weeks.
Teahiggins is hurt.
Unlikely to play.
Thursday night against the Ravens.
Chamar Chase has beat up.
12 targets last two weeks for Tanner Hudson.
He's finally playing over, not finally like we were waiting for it, but he's playing over Irbsmith.
Long-awaited turns.
Oh my God.
He has finally usurped the great Irv Smith,
who we've kind of all officially abandoned this being a thing.
So, yeah, Tanner Hudson's like he's there, once again,
much like Ty Chandler on the Vikings,
like Tanner Hudson is there and available,
which is availability is the best ability.
$20, if you guys can guess,
where Tanner Hudson played college.
Shepherd.
No, I'm going to go with Notre Dame College.
Elon University.
No.
Southern Arkansas.
Is that in the Rocket City League with the trash bandas?
Yeah, the Southern Northern Division.
They are D2, Great American Conference.
That's the extent of what I know.
Great.
The Mule Riders.
Southern Arkansas Mule Riders.
That's an all-timer.
I like that.
They just called it like it is.
Mule Riders.
He's a mess.
That's crazy.
He's 29 years old.
Tater Hudson's like a wily vet at this.
point. Is Irv Smith still somehow like 25? He is.
Irv Smith is 25. That's sickening.
It's been in the league for a decade.
Defense streamers this week, I think the dolphins, if anyone dropped Miami because they were
on by and also they play the chiefs, then on by, so if people dropped them, you might be
able to ride the dolphins until almost Christmas because they play this week, the Raiders
and Aidan O'Connell, who's a rookie. Then they play the Jets and Zach Wilson. Then they play
Washington and Sam Howell, the Titans and Will Levis is a rookie. And then the Jets again
him is Zach Wilson.
Like, if the dolphins are out there,
you just take them the whole way.
But if not,
dude,
the Washington defense against the Giants
and Tommy DeVito,
oh my God.
Like,
I just,
this is the most non-competitive
freaking offense.
And then if those aren't there,
I mean,
you could do like the Jaguars,
which is pretty gross
because they just give 31 of the Niners.
But the Jags are playing
will levasin of the Titans.
Yeah,
they're normally.
Security's their thing.
Very good.
But get the dolphins that they're there.
Quarterbacks,
honestly,
there's only one.
None of the teams run by this week
are like,
you're playing,
I should have two quarterback league.
It's like, I hope Derek Carr and Gardner Minshu
going on by and Mack Jones isn't hurting your quarterback situation.
So the only guy is Josh Dobbs, baby.
Josh Dobbs.
Our favorite guy.
Streaming him.
Josh Dobbs is more fantasy points than Patrick Mahomes this season.
Say that again.
Say that one more time.
Josh Dobbs has more fantasy points than Mahomes this season.
Why do we do this?
What?
I don't know.
Now, in fairness, he's played an extra game.
Sure.
I think what's worse is that he has like eight fewer points than Lamar Jackson and
Justin Herbert in the same amount of games.
Love it.
Love it.
Josh Dobbs.
Late round quarterback is back.
Not late round.
Just pick that.
Josh Dobbs is the guy.
Josh Dobbs is the guy that when the draft ends and you look at the quarterbacks available, you're like, oh, there's no one here.
That's the new strategy.
Just add those guys.
Josh Jobs is averaging four more points per game than Trevor Lawrence.
Dobbs is, they're also on Sunday night football this week.
It's going to be Vikings Broncos on Sunday night football.
By the way, is this all?
it always been a thing where it seems that teams who get the Monday night or Sunday night's
game the following week have another one. It's just the other night. Like the Chargers
had back to back Sunday than Monday. The Raiders are doing it now. And then now the Broncos are
getting it where the Broncos are playing Monday night and then playing Sunday night next week. It's
like they all get two in a row. Yeah, that's a good note. That's probably related to
I don't, there's probably isn't answer to this. But my guess off the top of my head would be like
it's related to ESPN softly demanding slash begging for a better Monday night football.
schedule. And it's probably related to me of like ESPN wanting a week to like ahead or after
the game to just keep using the footage from their game. You know what I mean? Like keep putting
those people on programming the rest of their content. I don't know. It's interesting though.
Yeah. It's just been weird. It's like every time if there's a bad Sunday night game,
odds are one of those two teams is playing the following Monday night. All right. Dobbs baby a
quarterback. All right. Kai's guys. Kai is now picking waivers and who wins are, you know, whoever
scores the most points in the players we do these episodes.
If Kai doesn't pick the right person, then he has to eat something exotic that he's never
had before, like mac and cheese or whatever, all the crazy stuff that Kai doesn't eat.
This week, Kai, you're going to have to eat the mac and cheese.
Yeah, that's tough.
So far you're 1 and 0, right?
I'm one in one.
He lost last week, but we waited, Craig, for you.
So mac and cheese incoming, there's nothing I can do to avoid that one.
But I live to fight another day this week because I chose Hyphitz and he had Keaton Mitchell,
Noah Brown, and Tassum Hill combined for 37.
7.1 half-PPR fantasy points.
Nice week.
DK had Zach Charbonnet,
DeMario Douglas,
Kate Otten for 21.6,
and Craig had Antonio Gibson,
Quentin, Go-Frogs,
Jono Smith for 26.
Oh, I got so close.
Almost got me with the Quentin Johnson catnip, too.
So we'll see if I avoid that this week.
I can't believe I lost,
even with Antonio Gibson's big day.
Close, but no Macon cheese.
I will say my math skills,
not my best feature.
So, you know,
if I'm wrong here,
please feel free to email in or whatever.
Kai, if we find out you're fudging the numbers on this,
we're going to make you eat fudge.
It's good.
That's good.
I'm not purposefully, at least, but I'm pretty certain.
I check the numbers.
But again, math, not my strong suit in any way, shape, or form, even less so than food.
Do you like fudge?
Have you had fudge?
I like fudge.
Again, chocolate and candy and sweets.
That's my bag.
He's like elf.
He's like the buddy of the eldest made food groups.
Syrup.
Candy cane, candy corn.
Candy corn.
So this week we've got D.K., you got Keaton Mitchell, Noah Brown, Michael Mayer.
Oh, that's good.
High Fitz, you have Ty Chandler, Brandon Cooks, and Patty Fries, Craig, you have Zach Charbonnet, Quinn Johnson again.
I love it. Go Frogs.
Luke Musgrave.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I'm going to High Fids.
Wow. I would have gone, D.K.
I'm going to start really against Bounder.
I really hope High Fitz loses because of Fryman. Or wins, you know, because he's just,
Dying on the friar meat hill.
So on the Thursday show this week, for Friendsgiving,
Kai will be eating Mac and Cheese.
I'm two for three on Kai's guys, though.
Honestly, there's a universe where this is like I'm O for three
and I'm just down bad struggling.
Morgan's Pork.
Yeah.
Kyle's going to be in therapy being like I had Mac and Cheese on Thanksgiving.
I've never gotten over it.
I love that he's actually, he's sweating out his picks.
100%.
It's great.
100%.
He's like, fuck.
Like, again, checking my fantasy teams and then checking this.
at similar times.
Like, please, God.
Like, when I saw, who was it this week?
It was, I was playing against Noah Brown,
but I was also like, come on.
Like, let's do something here.
Not too much.
Let's keep it going.
We'll figure out.
We're going to figure out when to get Kai the mac and cheese.
It's just, this is, it's too good.
I've bought it for anyone who thinks that I'm captain and I got it.
You'll be eating it on Thursday, so I'll prepare.
All right.
Thank you, Kai.
You guys want to do a couple emails?
Yeah.
I mean, the mispronouncing words, just the gift that keeps on giving.
What do we got?
We got one from James.
James.
James wrote my mom, or sorry, his mother-in-law had a trip to Louisiana.
And they were like, oh, that's fun.
You eat anything good?
She was like, I love the beige nuts.
Like, beige nuts.
Yeah, the beige nuts.
Like, you mean bignettes?
Bage nuts.
That's good.
Wow, that's really good.
Email from Billy.
Billy.
William.
Growing up, I spent a lot of time with my mother in the kitchen.
She's a lovely lady.
But whenever we used cumin,
oh no.
My mom would refer to it as coming.
Wow.
You got to move out.
Got to get out of there.
Yeah, change life.
I mean, well, the first time she said it,
wouldn't you be like, mom, it's cumin?
He was probably six.
He thought that was right.
Oh, so he grew up.
thinking it was coming.
Yeah.
So that's coming.
Put a sprinkle of coming.
Mom needs that coming.
So,
Billy writes it so naturally,
so I thought it was pronounced.
I know it's insane.
Fast forward.
Years later,
making dinner with my wife.
Oh,
no.
Asking to pass the coming.
What?
I'm always so surprised
that these words don't come up
in the real world,
you know?
That he never heard,
even though I believe,
if it's cumin or cumin. I've heard both
pronunciations. Both make me
uncomfortable. Let's change the word.
It should just be called like taco powder.
It just smells like tacos.
When you smell human, you get a Mexican food.
Smoky powder. Yeah.
Cuman.
Cuman.
I feel like I don't like either of those.
I think it's cumin.
Glad the three-way guys decided what cumin should be called.
Well, you know. I mean, honestly,
just keep it as coming.
Coming is good, actually.
Coming.
I mean, it does look like coming.
Does it?
Put a little imposhy on the end.
It looks a little,
it looks a little too frothy to be coming.
Ropes.
How many ways you're there to describe?
Should this be our like first business opportunity?
Like we just fantasy football branded Cuban.
By the way,
mucus ropes is probably one of the grosser terms as ever heard.
TK.
That's just like so wildly said that.
I just always think about
going back to Binchmoat the Buckeme,
binge mode days. Mal and Jason talking about
when they're doing the Petronus, just
shooting ropes out of their wand.
I just can't watch Harry Potter anymore
without thinking that. Shooting
ropes.
The old Petronus wand.
Just like pulsating.
Wow. Wow.
I'm sorry. I've lost it.
This is the all-time moment
on that episode or on that
podcast.
Anyway, for the people who have been shooting ropes,
we've got more songs. I put babies asleep.
Oh, we did. That's cool. That's awesome.
Yeah, so we got an email from Brad.
Brad.
Who said that the best information this podcast has ever given out is that Misty Mountains,
the song from The Hobbits, puts kids to sleep, which again,
a PSA, if you don't know, and you have a child that Misty Mountains by the Hobbits puts kids to sleep.
By our research, 60 to 75% of the people who try it, it works.
Yeah.
Brad has said that we actually found an even better song, which is the parting glass by the Wellerman.
There are a lot of options.
It's the parting glass by the Wellerman, and he says, no joke, it's more effective than Misty Mountains.
An Irish folk song, I believe.
It's just a ton of harmonizing.
It's a little bit, I do get it.
It's kind of mesmerizing to listen to.
Rocks him to sleep.
So they have another song, The Wellerman, called Misty Mountains.
Oh.
Wow.
I wonder if this is how he found it.
Was Missy Mountains by the Wellermen?
Because that would be like, you know, really short mystery we've got here.
Sounds almost identical.
Maybe it's the same band.
Craig's got nothing.
I had nothing either.
All right.
Cool.
Look, I've never seen those movies.
How can I comment on Misty Mountain?
I don't have a kid.
I've never seen Lord of the Rings.
Yeah, the two buildings.
Yeah, no.
Is it from the Hobbit movies or is it from the Lord of the Rings movies?
Yeah, the Hobbit's when there was only one building.
All right.
Thank you, D.K., thank you, Craig.
Thank you, Kai, for producing this episode.
Thank you, Jack, for up behind the scenes.
Thank you, Lorne.
Thank you, the Wellermint for putting babies to sleep.
Appreciate it.
I told you guys about how I saw an Instagram post of a person talking about the Misty Mountain song
and how it's working on her baby.
and it had like 200,000 likes or something like that.
So this is sweeping the nation.
All right. Goodbye, everyone.
