A restaurant's best dishes tell stories. Their flavors embed themselves in our memory like song lyrics or lines from a movie. So much so that a little slice of a restaurant's story can become part of our own. I'm Danny Chow and this is ShiftMeal, a new video podcast from The Ringer where we're sharing a bite and chopping it up with chefs and restaurant people during their off hours. Look out for episodes of Shift Meal on Ringer food starting September 18th. Football show, my name is Danny Hypatts. I am joined by Dana Kelly Craig. Horlebeck, and today we are going through all of our must-add players after week three.

Here's how it's going to work. We are going to go position by position. We're each going to give our number one pick to add at that position, and it's like waivers where only one person gets them. So if we pick the same guy, we'll do a trivia tiebreaker to figure out who gets it and then someone else, it's not that complicated. I promise that you will get it. Everyone listening, please feel free to emails, trivia questions at ringerfantasyfutball.

Gmail.com. Remember, they have to be, we have to be able to get closest to the pin here. Wrong in an order. So it's a number, a year, a date, a weight, an amount, whatever. Just send us a trivia question we can answer and be wrong in an order. Or we could be right. Or has that ever happened? No.

No. Pass to them. Once, maybe? Maybe one. What is the score? Kai, Carlos, do you guys have the trivia score? Craig has three. DK has two and hyphids has one.

And this is after the switchup. I don't remember exactly what it happened. After the correction. Yeah. It was the muscles in an elephant's trunk. That's right. You thought there were 40,000 elephants in a muscle's trunk. According to the Cleveland.

There we go. Well, the Cleveland Zoological Society said 40,000, but apparently it's 17. So you know what, man, it's information stuff these days. Yeah, you know what? Disinformation's everywhere. All right, let's just get into it. No bones about it. D.K., running back.

Give us your number one running back ad of the week after week three. Look, I'm going to go with Bucky Irving for the Buccaneers, aptly named Bucky Irving. He has basically started to take over a bigger role. this offense. And, you know, through three weeks, he's been clearly the much better runner, basically in every metric. In fact, through three weeks, he has almost the same exact number of fantasy points as Rashad White, who was a very high draft pick this year, if you remember, Bucky Irving has 20.7, half ppr points. Rashad White, 22.4. So White still has the edge in terms of snaps, but he has been really ineffective as a runner. And I think the team is going to start rewarding

Becky Irving with more snaps and more volume. Todd Bowles said that this morning, that Irving has earned a bigger share going forward. So I'm kind of just trying to grab a guy now before he ends up ultimately being like the main guy on the ground, early downrunner for the Buccaneers. Dude, Bucky Irving just straight up looks really good. Yeah.

He has juice. It's like night and day watching Rashad White run the ball and Bucky Irving run the ball. I know he's game script dependent a little bit. Todd Bulls even said that. The reason why White played more is because they were down the whole game and White is a better pass protector. But if like worst case scenario for Bucky Irving is what he did yesterday where he got nine carries

and three catches and a blowout, that's pretty good. So I agree. I'm taking Bucky Irving as well. We've recommended him, I think a few weeks ago. So I'm sticking with him. I think he's great short term and long term play, I think. Yeah, Craig, you've been on him for a few weeks. Yeah, this is a money where the mouth is take for me because I've got him stashed on multiple

teams already. I'm just like waiting for this to happen. But I mean, if you look at the rushing right now, three weeks. Rashad White, 31 rushes, 66 yards. The Bucky Irving, 254 yards. He's just better. Yeah.

He's more decisive. He's quicker. You know, he's not like a super fast player. He's not going to outrun a guy probably over 70 yards, but he's really, really quick in the short area, really decisive runner downhill, makes guys miss. Basically, any rushing metric you look at, he's lapping Rashad White. But Rashad White will have a role as a pass catcher, but I think Bucking Irving is the guy that's going to end up leading the backfield here.

You have the same, Hyphitz? Yeah, I have Bucky Irving as well. Nice. Bucky. Bucky. All right. Let's rev up the engines. It is the Bucky Irving showdown time.

By the way, Bucky's real name is Marquise. Marquise and Bucky Irving. I like the nickname Bucky. Cool name. Yeah. I used to love Bucky Lassick, the skateboarder growing up, when I played Tony Hawk. Who's the, yeah, no, Bammar, Jaron.

them and all the jackass adjacent guys. Yeah. Bucky's a good name. Marble guy. All right. So here, you guys ready for a show on time here? Yeah.

This is going to be war related for D.K. Layup. Once again, I'm asking for regular trivia. And when you say regular, you just mean things that you know about. Stuff I could possibly. Yeah.

Well, D.K., you're in luck. Oh, God. Oh, God. This is from Aaron. Aaron. Aaron. Aaron. A.

A.A. Ron. A.A.R. you're a dad. History buff. Heard of the Battle of the Bulge. Right. Aaron's question is, how big was the bulge in the Battle of the Bulge? In Miles, I assume.

I got to tell you. Like circumference? I don't know what the bulge is. I don't know what the bulge is. I could tell you what the bulge was. Tell us about the war, Grandpa. This was in World War II, correct? Yeah.

Okay. Tell us about the war, please. Like in Normandy, in France, or I guess it could have been in like Belgium and stuff, too, in that area. the Germans basically counterattack and surrounded like a section of Americans and almost had them encircled and basically there was a bulge

of Americans kind of stuck in the stone I think was the main area I'm probably fucking up this whole thing in like World War II history of buffs are like I kind of thought it was going to like a hill or something and I was going to go in feet the stone is in Belgium geographical term I was unaware of

I just want to make sure I'm getting this somewhat correct. Bustone is there was a siege in Bistone Bastone. That's a town in Belgium as part of the Battle of the Bulge. Yeah. Basically, it was a German counteroffensive against the Americans and the Americans almost got surrounded. So we're going square miles, it sounds like. Yes, but my question is like, is it a cross or the outer circle? I don't know.

I thought you were the history. This is your question. I'm asking what the question. The question doesn't specify what we're measuring. It says how big was the bulge? Hey, caramba. Okay. So we're guessing in square miles?

Square miles. Okay. All right. All right. Three, two, one. 20. 100 miles. That's good.

So it was Craig's 20. I said 100. I if it said 1,000. The bulge is the little area where the, the Americans were stuck? or where they were breaking the circle? 3,500 square miles. I went way too low, I should say. What did you say at 1,000?

I said 1,000. D.K., tough look for you. Now I'm like looking, now I'm reading about the Battle of the Bulge. Well, we have a show to do. Save that for tonight on your lazy boy chair. I get Bucky Irving. You now have to pick a running back. I think there's a very obvious answer.

I'm curious who you guys go with. Ooh, there's a guy I really want. I guess I'm going to go with Rico Dowdell for the Cowboys. I think there's multiple options that you could choose here. Craig, I want to know who you're going to pick to. But basically, there's no other starting running backs on waivers right now, other than RICO Dowell, who is ascended to the top of the rotation with the Cowboys. Obviously, that hasn't ended up in much production, but he is dominating snaps right now relative to the other guys and carries. Last week, Hunter Lukie Lipke actually played way more than Zeke. Zeke only played 20% of snaps.

So he's like a distant third. I think Rico Dattle is a solid option if you're in a pinch, but that's not who I would. Craig, who are you going to take? I agree. I mean, I had Rico on my list. I'm going with Braylon Allen. Yeah. That was the other guy.

Who, man, as somebody who spent a lot of money on Brees Hall, I'm a little worried about it. Brees is still getting a ton of work. But every time, like, Braylin will spell Brees Hall for, like, a player or two, when Brees is out of breath. And he'll get the ball and look better than Brees Hall. And it's a little worrying. He looks like a torpedo out there.

He's the RB 26 on the season right now, Braylon Allen. So, yeah, they're playing Denver. Any game that's out of hand, he's going to get more work like he did against the Pats last week. Breece is still getting goal line, third down work. But, dude, Braylin Allen looks really good. They're using him more and more every week.

they're basically like they have no choice but to use him because he looks so good. I totally. Braille and Allen is like the definition of what you want to keep on your fantasy bench. Like if you don't need a running back like to play this, even then to your point, like he's still getting touches. He had 14 touches for 68 yards last week. Like you can get by in a pinch of the buy week with him.

But Braylin Allen's the definition of what you want because if Brie's fall misses any time, we are going to rank Braylin Allen as a top 10 running back every single week. And he might maybe he'll end up like top five. It looks incredible. I totally agree. I think Braylon Allen is could be like a Jordan Mason-esque league winning player if Breesall goes down. So I think you could take Braylon Allen over Bucky Irving if you don't really need a running

back right now. I think he's easily the guy. He's a true backup. Like he is the definition of a backup and he has the same amount of points this year as Josh Jacobs and he's outscored Najee Harris, Rico Douddle, Zach Moss, Kenneth, I don't know, Kenneth Walker got hurt, but like this, I mean, he's like borderline of flex right now. And he's the youngest player in the league. Yeah, it's 20.

This was going to, this is like, I think, the difficulty in this exercise is like, are we going for next week? Are we going for someone that can fill in and start right away or someone who has the most value long term? I definitely would agree with you guys. Braylin Allen is maybe like the top handcuff right now in fantasy football. And he has a little bit of, you know, he's playable if you're really desperate, but could have, you know, top tier upside if, if Brise gets hurt.

So yeah, I like that a lot. I think it's a balance to your question about what we're going for because it's like, I think Braylin on a given week has seen. seemed like he's just as good to play Rico Doudal. The difference is, I don't think Rico Dattle will ever be like a top 10 guy that will rank ahead of the week, whereas Brayland Allen would be, he's just a breeze hall ACL away. All right.

Let's not put that into the world. That get really dark, sorry. Other guys just to throw out, the other one I was touring with was Rochon Johnson for the Bears. He didn't have some incredible game. He had eight carries to 30 yards and the end of the four catches, 32 yards. I just think D'Andreux sucks. And I think DeAndreux is going to get benched and it's a matter of time.

he's got the worst vision I've seen in the entire league this season. And frankly, the Bears' offensive line kind of sucks. But that actually, to me, is the reason they're going to have to bench DeAndre Swift. They can't waste the handful of plays the Bears actually block correctly because the running back is not fucking hitting the hole. And I think that they have to give Swift a little time because they paid him too much money. But I actually think they're going to play Rochon Johnson and Khalil Herbert more. And I'll take Rochon because he has the passing game work.

But I think Rochon's way better. Yeah, that's a nice one. I'd like to throw out Cam Acres. We don't know if Damian Pierce or Joe Mixer are going to make it back next week. He didn't have a great game. He basically got saved by a touchdown, but they got blown out. They're playing the Jags next week. I think he's an option.

Tonight on Monday night, the Jags are playing Tank Bigsby is questionable. He played well week one before going down with a shoulder injury. He's another guy, I think, to keep on your radar because he is, I don't think they want to lean on Travis Eton too much. And Tank has looked better this year. So I think he's another guy. If he pops tonight, he will be a. atop the waiver priority list for a lot of people. Emmanuel Wilson for the Packers.

Did you guys mention him as well? He looks really good in this last game. I think he's entrenched himself as the number two back in Green Bay. AJ Dillon is on the IR. The whole hyphids the Bears backfield situation. I wanted to say Rochon Johnson as well. But man, I just feel like they don't understand. They don't have a good grasp of like how to utilize their personnel right now.

No, that's fair. It's like so annoying. Yeah. That's totally fair. but he did look really good in this last game and he's a good pass catcher he's a he's big physical back downhill guy but braylin allen and to your point

Brail and Rochon Johnson are different stratospheres fears if I'm excited you should be like yeah there's a cheer johnson I'd cut in a moment to like if I had a kicker or something whereas Braylin Allen I'd figure out of fucking keep him no matter what yeah I agree with all these and also Carson Steele obviously would like you know if like Chuba Hubbard or something is available and you're like an 18 team movie or something

we take Chuba Hubbard over all these dudes he had a huge week and then Carson Steele if he's available I feel like Carson Steele's rostered to most active league. So, you know, he had 17 carriers. I think Somaget P. Rind's the guy. He's probably more likely available because you get like six touches. Eh, I think P. Ryan's kind of like if there's like a biweek coming up, like you could

grab him, stick him in, hope he gets a touchdown. I don't think he's going to be more than that. Yeah, the chief the chief's rotation in this first game went pretty much exactly that. We used Carson a decent amount. Yeah, but he gets like a lot of like low value touches. He was the best man. Yeah. Yeah.

Okay. So you got running backs. Buckier from Braylin Allen above all out. I'll Simbrahlin Allen for the long-term. Bucky Irving probably going to get a role pretty quickly. Okay. And also just note, we're recording this performance on football, and there's two games tonight, so the four teams.

So keep an eye on anything happening, but specifically the bills, if James Cook gets hurt, Ty Johnson or Ray Davis would have a lot more work. If Travis E, TN, anything happens to him, Tank Bigsby, and then Zach Moss to the Bengals, Chase Brown would pick up a lot of stuff. So I just keep that stuff in mind,

four teams playing tonight. All right, let's go to receivers. I wonder who you guys think is the receiver out of the week from waivers. Craig, what do you think? Is it A.D. Mitchell from the Colts? Calvin Austin, Steelers. Big touchdown. Probably go with him.

I would say spend all your fab money on him. No, we're going to go, I assume, all with John Jennings. My favorite player in the league, who I will do anything for. I consider him a brother. So I'm going with John Jennings. What about you guys? The overall wide receiver two in fantasy? Yeah, yeah.

Three, overall wide receiver three per game. Oh, okay. My mistake. My mistake. Would have had one of the five. best fantasy days of Jerry Rice's 20-year career. Yeah, I think you can still write this for at least a couple more weeks. Debo is hurt.

Kittle is likely to be out for another week or two. CMC's on the IR. Enjoy it while at last. This is like a summer fling. I will say this. Obviously, he'll never do that again. And then obviously also he's just as likely to hit you when you play him next week for like two catches and 14 yards and you feel like an idiot.

Having said that, not going to lie, I feel like Joan Jennings actually did a bunch of stuff that like encapsulated everyone who went out. I feel like he did some stuff George Kittle did. He did some stuff Christian McCaffrey would do and a little touch of what Diba would do. Like the versatility was, it was very Niners. And I think he's actually really talented. And he's not going to surpass, you know, if Dibu comes back. Kittle coming back and then Dibu coming back.

But he's not, it wasn't like a total fluke. It just was outstanding. They re-signed him before they resigned Ayuk. Yeah, right. Never forget. Even when everyone's healthy, he is in the mix. Like he still gets, you know, three, four catches a game, comes up with a big third down. he's not like completely out of the rotation.

D.K. called him the sixth man. He's quite literally the sixth man. But then he comes off and he's, he is the sixth man. Just comes off the bench. It makes plays. He's so good. Dionne Waiters.

All right. Well, Craig, you know what time it is. It is the Jawan Jennings showdown time. No more war trivia. We got the war one out of the way. Come on. Not quite. By the way, for the record,

I was saying how many miles across it? was not square kilometer or whatever we in we like super agreed on that well i i didn't i didn't understand the question i refused we did agree it was square miles i believe i don't remember that part okay well the war question this one's from derrick Derek Craig this is how I feel every other time but it's not like we're experts

in whatever else we're getting asked about all right TK how many battles were fought in World War II oh fucking fucking hell Mr. I want battles

man how many battles this could expose me and if you're wondering it basically how do you fact check that the answer is how many battles specifically how many battles are listed

on the battles of World War II Wikipedia page but like the full list the Wikipedia page for battles of World War II. How quick could a battle be? Do you have a two-day battle? Are we saying?

I think a battle is like, it's probably defined by some huge number of like people committed to it. But like it's like a pond versus a lake. Yeah, like a skirmish is like a pond and that a battle's like a lake. And then yeah, Creek river. Battle's probably like a minimum number of.

Is there anything below a battle that is still like is there a skirmish? Scirmish. Yeah, I think skirmish to your, well, to your point about how long. it takes. I think in the Lord of the Rings, the two buildings, that one's about 40 minutes. The battle is 40 minutes? Well, I think in the movie it's two days, but it takes 40 minutes in the movie. So all I'm asking is like, in your guys, DK, do you think a battle could be a few days or is that not correct? Yeah. Yeah, battle could last several days. Yeah, yeah. No, you're saying like a minimum.

I'm saying that's a short amount of time. Could a battle be an hour? Yeah. I think a battle could be a couple hours. Okay. My guess is, and I don't know this, is, It's probably there's a certain amount of manpower or, you know, machinery dedicated to a fight. I don't know. We have like soldiers, Marines, Navy SEALs, etc. listening to the show being listening to three podcasts, just be like, how long is a battle? Long as it needs to be. Email us at ring of fantasy football at gmail.com if you actually know how long a battle is supposed to be.

Shout out. Shout out to that listener who listens to who is on an aircraft carrier on a nuclear like air. aircraft carrier and like whenever they get to port they like it gets internet back he downloads our episodes and he like sets all his lineups for the entire season downloads some pods a couple texts from his family come in ignores nose yeah exactly add Juan Jennings yeah just had a baby and he just sent a thumbs up emoji to his sister and then you know dk like what kind of range are you thinking about number wise just so i have a

ballpark here i think we've learned that i'm not the person to ask this question I don't know. World War II was a massive thing. There was like multiple theaters. Lasted four, five years. Okay, I'm not going to lie. Of all the facts to drop on us, that was kind of funny. What?

It's dropping how long World War II lasted. I mean, I don't know the exact time. It depends on when you have it to start, I suppose. 39 to 44? Yeah. 39 to 45? I don't know. All right.

Who cares? Who cares? Ultimately. Ready? Three? to one, a thousand. 250. Okay. I'd probably guess low again.

What did you say? 150. Hyvitz, what'd you say? I said a thousand again. Okay, all right. I'm not, all right. What did you say, Craig? Two thousand.

It's probably higher. I just wanted a chance to, I just wanted a shot at the, at the time. Yeah. My thought process was battles were like to find as something like really big, but I'm probably. I thought you said they could be an hour.

No, it's not the duration of just how many, how many people were involved. It's like how many people are committed to an actual battle. We make the more people the longer would take. Right, right. My entire thought process was I could name 10, and I bet I can name 1% of the battles. Right.

That's fair. I'm probably way low. Probably way low. What is it? All right. The answer is 311. Oh, okay. Good for you.

Would I say 150? Okay. About half. Okay, that makes sense. This is like the elephant one, though. We're going to get an email, and someone's going to be like, actually, it was 35,000.

We got to look, I want to just Google, how do you define a battle? You know, people get emails. We're going to talk with this on Power Hour. I'm just curious. Okay, so, D.K., you get your Juan Jennings. I get to pick a second receiver here. I'm going to go with Romeo Dobbs for the Packers.

He hasn't hit double-digit fantasy points, though, so far this season. Honestly, not going to lie, you can kind of throw out the last three games. I think he's a by-low, but honestly, I think he's not a by-law. I think he's a cut. I think he's on waivers in your league because week one, the Packers had the freaking weird turf in the Brazil game. And then week two and three, it's been Malik Willis a quarterback. But Jordan Love, I think Jordan Love is going to play next one.

week. And frankly, like, all the other package receivers are cool or sexy. Jaden Reed, like, he's a man's man. He gets all the handoffs and end arounds and short stuff. They design stuff. Christian Watson's huge and fast. Romeo Dobbs just is where Jordan Love wants him to be. Like, like, Jordan Love did the thing where he was like, name your perfect play. And he's like, I'll take Calvin Johnson and Jerry Rice and Romeo Dobbs. Those are the people I want in the field. If I need a first down on my life depends on it. And I'm like, that's the connection he has. And there's no value of that when the League Willis plays. But I think with Jordan Love coming back, Dobs is like the epitome of

not cool, not sexy, not particularly amazing to watch, and also he's just going to randomly have 110 yards in a touchdown when you actually play him in your lineup with the flex. I like it. I agree. All the power of receivers are by lows right now. Dobbs has run more routes than anybody on the team. Yeah, he's like the one guy that plays most of the game.

They rotate everybody else. I actually have two guys here. I don't mind. I would also like to point out that when you asked, Hyvitz, when you asked the question, the trivia question, the first number that popped in my head was 400. And I said to myself, that's too small, you moron. You got to add more. Just want to point that out. That is a lesson. I always try to tell myself this. Go with your gut. I always am like a go with your gut guy. And I didn't do it there. And I'm

disappointed with it. Dude, Malcolm Gladwell wrote a whole book on that. That's the whole point of um, uh, oh no, now I can't. That's really funny. I can't remember the name of the book. But the thin slicing, but the point is just, just say the first number that pops in your head, see what happens? Uh, what book he's talking about? Blink? Yeah, blink. But is it there? There's another book called, oh, I also can't remember that book. This is such good radio.

Should we do a book club where we talk about books? We can't remember what their names of or what they're about. It's called like Think Twice or something. It's about how you should change your answer when you take a test. Like if you pencil in an answer and then you go back to it and you go, I don't think I'm right. Apparently the people who change their answer are more likely to be right than the people who don't. We should write a third book that's like some people want you to underthink

and some people want you to overthink and we want it to do right in the middle. Just middle think. Yeah, middle think. Yeah, middle think. That's pretty good. All right, who are you taking? I'm on the fence between Quentin Johnston because the guy can't stop scoring touchdowns or Darnell Mooney, who I think the Falcons think is the best player on the team.

Do you think that the new coaches in Atlanta just think that he's drank London and Kyle Pitts? They might. They might. They were like, what would Arthur Smith do? Yeah, feed it to the fourth best player in the team. They're playing the Saints. Quentin Johnson, the problem is is Herbert super banged up. His X-ray and his ankle came back negative, which is a good sign.

They're playing the Chiefs. Joe Alt is going to be out a couple weeks with an NCL issue. I'm like, this could just be, and then they're going to go on by. This could be a week where they just kind of bottom out, regroup in two weeks. But they are looking. He's like, he is the red zone threat. I'm going to go with QJ. Go frocks, as I would say.

Yeah, Quinn Johnson's, I think if Justin Herbert was healthy, I would go with Quentin Johnson. I like, again, just betting on a first round guy who is better this year, no matter what happened last year is smart. I don't think he's an 18th best player, best of Schreber and fantasy right now. There's nothing, yeah, there's nothing wrong with that. I'm getting some emails being like, how come Craig has not addressed the Josh Palmer thing? First of all,

he had one bad game, week one. Then he got hurt, was super banged up week two, and then he missed last week. Like, was it a miss? Probably. But like, okay, you spend a dollar on him. The whole point is you take shots later in the draft. Was he a guaranteed? No. That's why it was a dollar. Also, I still think it's possible. I still think there's time. I think he's been hurt.

So I just like to say that. You really fucked up my last round pick, man. Yeah. Sorry. It's not like I recommended for you to take him in the first round. We all have a Mike Davis. Yeah. D.Ks will come at some point too. Everyone's got a Mike Davis in their life. D.Ks will come. I mean, I'm sure I've had plenty already. The other person, I like Michael Wilson, the receiver for the Cardinals, he had eight catches for 64 yards. I'm not going to lie, I think, I feel like he's the demure T. Higgins. like he's not as he's not quite as big but i think i don't know maybe it's just something about ira zone ever kindler makes everyone look larger but like he does he just has like the big frame

on that team but he also has like ball skills and i don't know i feel like now that greg dorch is a little banged up honestly i think when those really small guys like dorch is what five seven when those small guys get a little banged up i think it's really tough for them to compete and like i just i don't know michael's eight catches 64 yards and like i think kiler was looking at him a lot every time he wasn't really, he was really pressing to Marvin Harrison Jr. And they were, it wasn't working. But like Michael Wilson was open the whole game. And I, I feel like the Cardinals are going to be thrown all season.

He actually has more catches than Marvin Harrison does so far. They're not as valuable. 11 catches for 100 yards. Yeah, he basically had two no shows and then had a big game last week because, um, they did such a great job doubling Marvin Harrison. But I agree he's good. Every time he catches a pass, I'm like, is that a tight end I don't know about? And then it gets up and it's Michael Wilson.

He's a big dude. T. Higgins, baby. DeMere T. Higgins. Mindful and Demir. So, yeah. And also, Cardinals play Washington next week. So if you're one of those teams

that has, like, Debo and A.G. Brown and you're fucked. Again, maybe we'll see. Watch Washington just shut out the Bengals tonight. But I will say now, I think the Bengals are going to rock Washington.

I think Washington's defense is very bad. And I think if, as long as you're listening to this in Cincinnati, I think probably, ironically, I bet, I'm curious if the real T. Higgins is Torch Washington.

I think that Michael Wilson and the Cardinals will do very, totally fine streamer if you're injury prone. Any other receivers you guys want to mention? I think that Alan Lazard is still out there for a lot of people. I think the way that teams are double teaming, Garrett Wilson and focusing so much their defense on him, he's going to pop in some games.

Obviously, I think he's going to be kind of volatile week in and week out, but he's best friends with Aaron Rogers, and that matters in fantasy. I'm sorry to say. Wondell Robinson for the Giants. Austin Gale brothers up to us the other day. The Giants have like a pass-it-to-the-It-to-the-It-Otallion. style offense with Malik Navers and Wondale Robinson.

Malik Navors has a 38% target share and Wondale has a 25% target share. And that's like basically the only two guys that get targets in this offense. He's clearly getting the far less valuable ones because he's the easy button underneath guy, gadget type play type player type player. But if you're in a PPR league, he's getting a ton of targets at the very least. I'd like to also throw out Jalen Naylor, the rookie for Minnesota. Yeah. who has had two touchdowns in the last two weeks.

He had a third called back yesterday. Looks really good. And as long as Jordan Addison's out, I think Naylor is like 100% worth of play. I mean, San Darno leads the league in touchdowns right now. I also love that he wears 83. That's a cool retro move out of Nayla. Can I ask you guys this too?

This is like the most important thing I'm going to say on the show the whole year. It's like wearing bell bottoms. Craig, are we so old that in our lifetime, all the receivers wore the numbers in the 80s? and then they went to the teen numbers, the single digits and double digits as revenge. And now the players are going back to the 80s

because they just grew up seeing all these guys in the teens. Like, have we, are we so old that guys are going to go back to the 80s? I bet. That's a great call. They think that, oh, everybody wears teens. Like, I want to do something different. They're like, oh, that retro shit, like Calvin Johnson. Yeah.

Fuck. It's like when you're like, my dad used to wear A6 and champion sweatshirts. I'm going to do that. God damn it. Ugh. All right. So those are the receivers. Again, I got you on Jen.

No, who got who? I got you Juan Jennings. Oh, yeah. And then I, yeah, I'm taking Romeo Dobbs. And then you took Quentin Johnson over Michael Wilson. And then he had disgusting ones, as D.K said from New York, Lizard, and Wondo Robinson. I just want to note this. This doesn't count because Dallas Goddart was the number one tight end of the week,

which singly-handedly made him the number one tight end of the season. I just want to note the biggest platform disparity I've ever seen. And I imagine one of the biggest disparities ever is that Dallas Goddard is owned in 91% of Yahoo leagues, but 26% of ESPN leagues. I've never seen anything like that. I think that's just like rank. I don't know honestly how that's really possible. But like it's hard to imagine having a bigger number than 66% disparity.

So if you're on an ASBN league, check of Dallas Goddard's there. But we're not going to count him for this because that seems a little insane to fight over the number one tight end. Goddard had 22 points last week alone, which if you just took that week, that would make him the tight end seven on the season. Just that one game. Insanity. Should we just skip the tight ends here? Or what? Like, what's the point? Wait, I think we should we do, should we do the thing where we, like, have, like, a small animal or something, like, pick a random tight end?

Maybe my cat or, like, a rodent or something just picks a tight end. There's been 11 tight end touchdowns so far this year through three weeks. I mean, Dallas Goddard had 170 yards, still couldn't score. So there's been 11 touchdowns by tight ends. 10 years ago, that number was 43 through three weeks. 11. Why don't we give our picks and then I'm going to just pick a random touchdowns? tight end on my computer by total randomness.

That's a free agent in my league. Okay. My pick is Tyler Conklin for the Jets. Okay. Do you want to give a reason? Sure. 93 yards last week, five catches look good. He's playing the second most snaps of any tied end in the NFL right now. Only behind Kate Otten, which I'm pretending to ignore. Playing home versus Denver this week, I think he has Aaron Rogers Trust, good competent player.

He's been around for a while. been playing a lot his whole career basically and now he finally has a competent quarterback so i like conklin i don't think his ceiling is super duper high but i think he could be like a reliable low-end starter for you if you need him yeah fill-in guy i had cole commet but conklin was on my list as well the bears again i don't think they know what they're doing with their personnel they're trying to figure out like who their good players are even though everyone seems to already know that outside of the building but yeah cole comette i think he's by far their best tight end he proved that in this last week 10 catches 97 yards a touchdown

He played 81% snaps, which is great. He ran around on 73% of the team's dropbacks, which is pretty good. 23% target rate, great. However, he didn't do any of that in weeks one and two, so I don't know how they're going to utilize him going forward. Coaches have this weird habit of rotating players, even though one guy is clearly better than the other. And I think Kemet is clearly better than Gerald Everett at this point. Like, Gerald Everett is basically a zero. I think he has like 1.5 fantasy points this year.

He's just not doing anything. He's a receiving tight end who doesn't do any receiving. So yeah, I feel terrible. He's looked awful. I agree, Dick. I had Cole Commit as my number one tight end. Tyler Conklin's my number two. I feel I told, I told people you could drop Cole Commit last week.

And I felt really safe about it because they were playing Gerald Everett over him again as the receiving guy. I was like, commence out there basically blocking even though they gave him a contract extension year ago. So yeah, I apologize if anybody did that. I would add cold commit back, which, you know, it's really desperate and sad when you're that little waiver person who cuts and then you add. And it's, you know, it's really sad. But yeah, that's, that's me. I mean, the problem with the problem with the. The Bears, yeah, I don't think it's like a huge loss if you already dropped him.

Like I wouldn't panic about it, obviously. But like the Bears threw 52 or 53 times this last week. That's not going to happen every week. Probably won't actually happen again this season. So he definitely took advantage of like a high volume passing game. But I don't know. I'm like the only guy in the world, I think, who thinks goal comeets pretty good. I think they should just get him more involved in the offense, I think.

But I agree though with both of you because I also think Tyler Conklin for him. You said Craig, like Aaron Rogers just, he said it himself. Every team's going to double Garrett Wilson the entire season and the other guys have to win. And it's just a loser to. Do we want to do trivia for Colcomette for you too and I'll just jump in? Yeah.

Okay, great. By the way, real quick, before we get to it, I want to say one thing. The Bears, two big, like, offensive acquisitions this last season Dandre Swift and Gerald Everett,

like pretty much zeros at this point. Also, they, the Bears, do you remember, we did the Adam Schifter drinking game? The Bears were the first person to sign anyone. They did the 12.01 PM Schefter tweet of like they just couldn't wait

to get the DeAndre Swift contract. done. I feel like they missed read the whole running back market. It was insane. I just and it doesn't fit the tea. I don't know. It doesn't make any sense but yeah. Anyway, continue. All right. It is the Cole

Kamet showdown time. Ooh. We just heard that gong. It's just satisfying. Kai got that gong in the yeah. Yeah. Kai got that gong. This one's from Matt. Mattie.

Is it another battle one? Yeah, everyone listened to you when you bished and said, I want battle ones. This is a joke. I'll never complain again in my life, all right. God. You're gonna need you topics. We can only do so many battle ones. Well, definition of a battle is pretty good.

All right. This one's from Matt. Matt says, how many troops did Napoleon bring to the Battle of Waterloo? Ooh, that's a great question. I literally just watched the Paulian. Well, you better get this fucking right. By the way, not a great movie. Didn't love it. How many, yeah, the question could have been how many cannonballs did they fire at the pyramids? Oh, I don't remember that one. that was in the trailer for the movie, wasn't it?

They blow up one of the pyramids. Yeah, weren't they? They also shot the nose off of the sphinx or something like that. I think that was alive in the, that I think, oh, really? How was the movie? I didn't watch it. It was just really, I don't know, it was weird. It basically just follows him doing a bunch of battles and being weird with his Josephine

woman that he like married and then divorced. And I don't know, he's just like, it's just like alternated between him being really awkward and weird and then these battles and there was no like fluid storyline and then the movie was over all of a sudden. I don't know. It was bizarre. It was long, right? Wasn't it like two and a half hours? Yeah. How was Joaquin? I mean, Joaquin's great. I just thought the like the way they built the movie, it was like it felt like it was missing a lot of details and like I didn't really understand anything and they didn't really explain. I had to go and like read the Wikipedia article and be like, what happened here? You know what I mean? Wow, that's a horrible review. Yeah.

I had to read a Wikipedia article after. That's how I felt doing the entire West World podcast. I bet you this was in the movie. I just can't remember. There was one note that he brought, I think, 800 or 900,000 troops to Russia, and only, like, 30 or 40 came back. It was, like, crazy. Well, that seems super pertinent to the how many troops did he bring to the Battle of Waterloo.

So I don't think it was that many. Okay. All right. Clocking, Matt. Yeah, I guess I'm ready. I'm as ready as I'll ever be. D.K. I'm not alive. You don't get this. It's really tough for you.

Okay. You saw the Napoleon movie within the last week. Well, you know what? I had a couple of whiskeys while I was watching it. My memory is not what it used to do. As you should. We should do substance-based trivia. You know, the problem is you got to see whiskey is free to the show. Three, two, one.

80,000. 100,000. I said 700, like a pizza oven. That's not. I don't think you said 700 total. Yeah, well, you just told me he brought 40 guys. back. No, 40,000. 40,000. Oh, fuck.

But also he said like he brought 40 guys back. Wasn't the question how many he brought to the war? To the battle. Went there with however many and came back with 40. I thought you meant 40 people. You've been 40,000? He said they took 800,000, came back with 40,000.

Oh, I might have said 40, but I meant 40,000. You did say 40, but I assume. He said 30 or 40. And I'm like, all right, didn't have that many guys. 30, 40K. What did you say? I said 100, I said 100, I think. Okay.

And then I said 80,000. I said 40. Wait, no, what did I say? I hope it's 100. I hope it's 1,000 people in high fits of wins. The answer is 72,000. Oh, damn. Craig was real close.

Nice job. Wow. So the Battle of Waterloo, again, I watched the movie, the decisive final defeat. Because I love the song for all Napoleon Yeah when we have the TikTok Direct the TikTok generation directing movies They're gonna actually put the Waterloo soundtrack Over it like you know what I mean

Yeah Well this is good then that I won because I was gonna take Conklin anyway Now you guys had to battle over Oh yeah wait so I guess DK gets Yeah I get Kmet Commet That's fine I will take Tucker Kraft They're tied out of the Packers

Tid ends a fucking waistline Oh that's a good one And I like that one It's the same thing as what it's said about Romeo Dubs It's like Tucker Crafts playing The two people who played the most and don't leave the field to the backers are Romeo Dobs and Tucker Kraft. He's their tight end.

Nate Tice, our buddy does great work. He calls him a four down tight end. He's a four down player. He can do everything. And they're using him. He's just on the field. He's doing, I think he's going to be way, way, way, way better when Jordan Love comes back.

Don't bother with what he's done with Malik Willis. It's not relevant when Jordan Love comes back. And this offense is going to be awesome. And I think, frankly, like, if there's any tight end that might be water in the desert as like an actual reliant, I mean, quote unquote, reliable by tight end standards, I think it's Tucker Kraft. So I'll take him. Also, I'm going to close my eyes. I have the entire list of like 50 tight ends available on waivers in the league.

I'm in with my brother and his friends. I'm going to close my eyes. I'm going to pick one randomly. And let's see if this person beats any of the ones we just picked. Okay. And I picked the guy and I picked, I got Theo Johnson for the Giants. You know what's funny about Theo Johnson is I was looking up stats about routes, who's running the most routes, who's playing the most snaps?

Theo Johnson is running a route. Giants tight end on 70% of team dropbacks. That's higher than Tucker Kraft, Mark Andrews, Brock Bowers, Noah Fant. I'm like, what the, what's going on? Let's keep track. Let's see if the random tight end I pick with like, no, no, no, poop who can just like beat our picks every week. The other person who'll say Zach Ertz, who's on Monday and Air Football tonight.

And also I know Mike Yosicki's out there too, but we'll see if Zachertz, like, scores tonight, I think Zachertz is also like right up here with these guys. I think this guy might be a little bit too rostered, but if people start to drop Pat Friarmuth, I just feel like he's coming on a little bit. He's playing a lot. They really have no other option. Fields is working over the middle a bit more. I think there's a chance that like by the end of the season,

Fryermuth is much more involved in the offense. All right. So quarterback, you mentioned the Steelers. Justin Fields, I still think, is like the biggest ad. If he's still available in the league, I would add him. I think that he's only going to get better as the season goes on. I think the last three weeks you've seen are his scoring floor. Like again, the Steelers, the teams who are three and have three touchdowns

and the history of the NFL are like the bills in 1984 and the Steelers. Yeah, and he was, I mean, he had 19 points last week, not bad. Yeah. So I think, yeah, I think Fields I would add. Andy Dalton, I won't, like did you want to do anything, won't be as good as it was last week, but I actually think the Panthers offense will be. I think the defense is bad enough. They're going to be in shootouts all the time.

So like Eddie Dalton and Sam Darnold. Arnold. I kind of would take like a Darnold and Annie Dalton over like Matt Stafford in this diminished state without Cooper Cup and Pooka. Like I would like I, I would say Sam Donald and Andy Dalton are going to outscore. staff are going forward. I think they get out to where Roger's going forward.

I, you know, so I think those guys are totally viable. A lot of people are asking us about Anthony Richardson and whether you should bench him. And I mean, don't, please don't panic on Anthony Richardson. But, yeah, if you want to add Sam Donn, make yourself feel better, that's, that works. Do you guys think there's a single quarterback in the league you would start?

You wouldn't start instead of Justin Herbert. Now that Brice Young's been benched for Dalton. It's like maybe Jacoby Brissette. Yeah, I think Brissette's the worst by a lot. I think Brissette is the worst. And Skyler Thompson. Skyler Thompson's the worst.

Charlotte Thompson played most of the game last week. He got four points. And then if you don't count Skyler or Bisset, then, yeah, it's probably like Leshuis. Levis. Yeah. Minchew Levis. Yeah.

Levis is at least like running around and doing stuff. Yeah. Herbert. It's just crazy. By the way, I was fact checking myself. It was only about 600,000 that Napoleon took to Russia. Just to be clear. And I don't know exactly the number.

that came back, but it was very small relative to that number. Yeah, like 40, 30. Anywhere from 50 to 100,000, I think. All right. Defense is to stream this week. I think there's a few. So the Chiefs, I think the Chiefs are going to play the charges this week. I think it probably might be Taylor Heineke.

We'll see. But Joe Alt, as Craig mentioned, the left tackle, or sorry, the right tackle be out. And then Richon Slater has a pack injury. I just think the Chiefs. If Taylor Heineke is the quarterback, I think the charges are in a bad place. The Bears, they're playing Stafford and the Rams.

I know the Rams just had this really good game against the Niners. Kind of don't care. I mean, the Rams, I mean, with the state of their offensive line, without Cooper Cup, without Pooka, like, this is still like a gnarly team coming off a win like that. It's emotional, a lot of young guys. I don't think they're going to have, like, flea flickers with receivers throwing a two, two, at will 50 yards to save the game all the time. Raiders defense is awful, but they are playing Cleveland, and that's still like Max

Crosby and like they had eight sacks and Deshaun Watson. That's kind of a little uglier when you just saw what they did the Panthers. but I will say if you're really like desperate and you're to deeper league, I mean, Cleveland has given up the most sacks in like the history of the Browns, which is saying something. I don't know if I would do that. But before I do that, the Titans playing the Dolphins, Miami and Tim Boyle. Like the Titans defense has been pretty solid.

I would play the Titans. Miami Tim Boyle is pretty fine. And also I think the Broncos defense is good. I don't know if you want them right now because they're playing the Jets and Rogers who doesn't really do turnovers. But like then they get the Raiders and the Chargers, maybe Herbert's hurt. I think the Broncos defense has actually come on pretty strong. So I love it.

Are we doing Kai's guys? What's up? Is Kai going to pick one of our teams? Yeah. Did he pick last week? Yeah, Kai get in here. Also, doesn't Kai have some food to try? I believe he does.

Yeah, Kai. We should do a better job of keeping track of this. Well, I'm on top of this, baby. I got this handle. So, Kai, for those who don't know, we're, Kai's keeping track of the guys we pick. And then he picks a team. And unless he gets it right of who gets the most points,

Kai has to try a new food because Kai has what I'll generally call, a limited palette of which we are trying to, politely request that he expands his imagination of what he's willing to try. I think that's the nicest thing anyone's ever said about me. So thank you. I appreciate it. Well, I technically haven't lost this week, but I'll give you the recap. We can decide what you want to do.

I haven't won. I haven't lost. There's some Monday night guys that. There's some games happening. Last week I picked High Fitz because he went with QJ. He had Ty Chandler who had, who scored a whopping 1.3 fantasy points. Not so great. Quentin Johnson got in the end zone again, 11.4.

and Hunter Henry with equally whopping 1.9 fantasy points for a total of 14.6. That's what I'm working with. Now, D.K. has 10.4 in counting. He had Simodji P. Ryan with 5.5 points, Alec Pierce, 4.9. And Zachertz still to play tonight. So I need Zachers to have four plus points or something like that. Well, yeah. Craig has the best chance here, though. Bucky Irving had 9.9 points.

DeMarcus Robinson had 3.7. And Brenton Strange still to play. So you have 13.6. You're one point behind high fits. Ooh. For Brenton Strange, though, that's like, that's risky. I have a proposal. We just admit defeat.

Kai and I here, admit defeat. Kai tries the Oreos. And if I actually end up winning because you guys couldn't do it money in football, then Kai has us eat something. If Kai actually does play this one out. Okay, I'm into that. A debt.

I'm down. Kai's like, what the fuck? Yeah. So, Kai, I think, so we, a very special thing happened. For those who have not been following, we have an obsession with Oreos. They're,

they're little freaks. Like whatever the fuck they're doing over at Oreo, they got all these weird fucking flavors and the lemon. This weird little freaks. Even their traditional normal flavor. I don't really know what that is either, but it's really good.

Yeah, what flavors in Oreo? Yeah, anyway, so we've been on this all summer. What the fuck's with the Oreo? So anyway, Kai, you have procured something very special. I have some here. Some, some Oreo. No, some Coke-flavored Oreos. Coke Zero.

For the record, I also purchased the Oreo-flavored Coke, if you'd like me to try that as well. You have the Oreo-flavored Coke and the Coke-flavored Oreos? I have both. So I could wash down a Coke-flavored Oreo with an Oreo-flavored Coke. Even though I haven't lost yet. Let me make that very clear. Wow.

I love the idea. I think you eat the Oreo and wash it down with the Coke's here. I have a question first before you eat those things. Do you eat Oreos normally? Oh, it's a great question. So I love Oreos. I hate Coke. So I really don't know where I'm going to land.

Like, I despise Coke. I hate Coke. Like a different show might have waited until Coca-Cola sponsored us doing this. No. We go first. Yeah. A smarter show also probably wouldn't have done this at all. But

I couldn't be honest about my coke hatred then though, right? I'd have to be like, oh, it's good. Correct. That's why we do it. That's why we do it. All right, Kai. You start the Rio and then give us the review and then you can wash it down. Also, can you please give it a smell test before? Of course. Oh, I could smell. it already. It smells like Coke.

That's disgusting. That was crazy. This is wild. That's disgusting. Yeah, hold the... It actually smells like Coke. Like, that's really strange. I love that Kai's bar for disgusting is... Coy's most widely loved product on the planet.

Are we ready for this? Is it time? Yeah. Are you ready as the question? I'm not ready at all. It kind of tastes pretty tame. Like, it tastes like On Oreo, there's not a lot of Coke Like, it's more smells like Coke than tastes like coke to me

Interesting Also, it said that there's like popping candy in here I'm not really getting that I was excited about that part Like pop rocks? Yeah So it's supposed to be like fizzy? No

What's the mouth feel like? There's like a regular Oreo It's a little bit It's a little bit It's a little bit It's just that tastes like an Oreo? Yeah, I don't know With like a hint

Like an application of Coke, which is weird. Like, I wouldn't buy them again, but... He's eating them. He's eating them. Not offensive. I mean, Oreo's a great. It's kind of hard to mess up an Oreo, but I thought this would be... All right, well, then pop this Oreo flavored Coke Zero. Wash it down.

That sounds atrocious. Atrocious. On here, it just says Oreo Coca-Cola with popping candy. In the meeting where they like, hey, let's do Coca-Cola flavored Oreos, and everyone was like, great. And one guy was like, wait, we're missing something. It's a home at a way. Just combine the two greatest flavors on earth. What if we add pop rocks to it?

What are we doing? Pop rocks. Just a sprinkle of pop rocks. Every day we stray further from God. That's my take on all of this. These are abominations to society. All right, we're back with Kai. Kai has his Oreo-flavored Coke.

I keep having to think about it to make sure I get it right. He had Coke-flavored Oreos, and now he's having Oreo-flavored Coke. Please show the can. Oh, you bought a 12-pack. You bought a 12-pack? I searched far and wide for like a six-pack, but unfortunately that just, you know, you can only get 10 of these guys because there's just, you know, so high in demand. It says here, limited edition Oreo, zero sugar, fizzy cookie flavored. Jesus.

Okay. Smells like Coke. Oh. That is not good. It tastes kind of like an Oreo. This one tastes more like an Oreo than that one did like a Coke. That sounds kind of good to me. Anything that tastes like an Oreo sounds good to me.

It's weird. And this one, I check is this one is still zero calories. So what they're doing, I'm not sure. How does that work? That's, wow. So Kai, tell us what you're smelling, what you're feeling. Would you drink this? No, I would not drink this.

So which is better if you had to have one? Oh, God. That's horrible. That's really bad. I'm so out on that. Horrible. You guys should try that. Like, it tastes like an Oreo.

It's really strange. I don't understand it. I would probably give the Oreo like maybe like a five out of ten because it's still pretty Oreoe. Not bad. Yeah, I don't think I'd have it again, but I don't fully regret it.

This I regret a lot, and I think it was probably give it like a 2.3. What's like a one? Like eating shit? Cheese. Cheese is number one. Cheese is number one. Lettuce on the sandwich.

I've never had a salad, so if you guys want to like throw that in there. Would you say you never had a salad? Yeah, I've never eaten one before in my life. Have you had like a single piece of like romaine lettuce? Not that I can remember. I'm not lying. It's not a bit.

I don't, I couldn't tell you. I don't get lettuce on my burgers. I don't, I've never had a salad. Where else does lettuce pop up? I wouldn't, I wouldn't know. It's mostly on sandwiches and salads, I suppose. I can't wait until Brenton Strange scores like 0.3 fantasy points and I didn't have to do this. Kai thinks of the worst thing he can make us eat

and he just has us eat like cheeseburgers, the salad. He's like, you guys have to have chicken tenders and ketchup. I don't like ketchup, but yeah. Kai, thank you for your service. Yeah, good job, Kai. Thank you, Kai. Do you want to hear about this week's pot and who I'm going to place? Yes.

Please list our lineups and select your team. Okay, this week, Hy-Fitt says Bucky Irving, Romeo Dobbs, and Tucker Craft. D.K. has Rico Doutle, Joan Jennings, and Cole Komet. Craig has Braylon Allen, Gwen Johnson, and Tyler Conklin. I mean, I got to be me, right? Let's go. I don't know how to be anyone else. I got to go with QJ. He scored again. Well, he might let me down tonight. We'll see. At least he wasn't the weak link of that three, three leg team right there. No, he was the workhorse for Hyvitz's team last week. Exactly. He's keeping me in it. So I'll go QJ.

Wonderful. All right. Amazing. Thank you, Kai. Let's do a couple of emails here. we get out of here. Real quick, I wanted to shout out Corey, who emailed us. He's a Charlotte local. Corey. They updated the sign

at the Dilworth Bar. You know that bar where the David Tepper walked in? They had the sign and he flipped the guy's head off. They updated the sign. Corey drove by it,

Texas a picture. And it is, uh, the sign just says now, best game in years. Thanks. What did it used to say? Uh,

the sign that made David Tepper, the Panthers owner stop in was basically like, hey Dave, let the GM make the picks because it's on the way to the stadium. He drives by it. And so they're like, hey, Dave, please let the GM make the picks. Because that was like right around when they, it was like,

yeah, Stroud probably was what the GM wanted. So yeah, there you go. Fighting with a, with a billionaire using like a small sign outside of a restaurant is fucking hilarious. Also, it's David Teper who literally said in an interview, like in a fucking interview, he said, if a waiter's made to him at a restaurant, he thinks about buying the restaurant just to fire the waiter. Maybe they're trying to sell their restaurant.

just trying to get out they're like let's piss off the billionaire until he's like you won't spend 10 million on this you don't have 10 million dollars fuck that's dude bait wait there there's like a Nathan for you there of like all right yeah how do we make money here it's like hey we're just gonna piss off the richest

guy in the world till he buys your fucking mess drop trying to retire challenge the manhood of a billionaire and they'll just buy whatever you want them to to prove that they're successful oh my god all right next one here is from Andy Andy Andrew. Okay,

you know how I've been making fun of the Rice football program and you called me out for it? Yeah. All right. Well, this one from Andy. On the subject of disparaging rice, Hafeitz looks like he might be

for once in good company. JFK for once. JFK considered kind of for once. Yeah, where's this going? Considered rice's futility to be so futile in football that in his famous,

we choose to go to the moon speech, JFK added, by hand, a line, the literal line, why do we climb the highest mountains? Why do we cross the Atlantic? Why does Rice play Texas? Are you serious? Yes.

This was in the speech? I couldn't believe this, so I looked it up. JFK gave the speech of going to the moon at Rice University. Wow. He gave it at Rice on the football field. Kai, I want you to play this. this. I want you to play the speech because I can't do JFK

pressure. Craig can. Why does Rice play Texas? Wait, I highlighted it from Craig. Wait, read this show. I just said it to you. Do JFK accept. Oh, God. But why some say the moon? Why choose this as our goal? And they may well ask why climb the highest

mountain. Why 35 years ago fly the Atlantic? Why does Rice play Texas? I think I started to get off a little bit his Massachusetts ass accent but it's subtle it's not like

hard mass it is hard mass but not like the Riscilla way I don't know why that's so funny JFK Massachusetts not the Rissila way you know what I mean

Oh my God. So rice, holy shit, I had no idea about that. I was like, why did he bring up rice? So anyways, for generations, people have been disparaging rice, I guess. Sure. Ask not what your country can do for you. That's pretty good. Craig, have you ever done the JFK before?

Is that literally your first try? I have not. No, I've never had to pull that out. That was pretty good. Emails at ringer fantasy football at gmail.com. If you have other impression. Give us requests. Liz is like, God, now he's doing impressions.

This reminds me of what a... Our former co-worker, shout-out Sean Yu, did a terrible thing for charity where he just was like, if you Venmoed him $10 and he would donate it to... I think it was when we worked at Spotify, there was a year we had a match. And so if you vend him to 10 bucks, he would donate it all to a children's hospital.

And he would do 20 seconds of any song you wanted on his Instagram story as Creed. So I was asking him do like hello by Adele as Creed And yeah he did like 150 Oh wow that's amazing But yeah this is but there we go this is pretty good So yeah email so email fancy football at Gmail.com You have impressions you want Craig did it

Probably like the solo stuff, latter. It was a good day, bangs. Great song. Oh, yeah, that's a good one. Craig is a good point in that I don't really think I have a good sense of when Ice Cube became famous enough to do, like, movies. Like, dude, you know what, like, Triple X, too, unbelievable movie. But I don't know what, like, was it? it was his solo career really when did he become really famous was he like in n w a like he was still

insanely famous and then the solo like happened like that's what happened right it like i think a lot of his solo stuff was like well into the 90s and then he didn't really start i feel like i mean he was acting but later in his career he really started to do like commercial stuff like now he's in like fist fight with charlie day or something and you're like he's good in a 21 jump street oh my god he's funny in those he is the best line at both movies which is well no I guess the second movie
