Welcome to the Ring of Fantasy Football Show.
My name is Danny Hypents, and I'm joined by Danny Kelly, and that's it.
Craig is not here this week.
I think he's still celebrating the George Pickens' patch to beat the Ravens.
We're going to go through our must-add players.
Entering week six, only two teams run by this week.
It's the Steelers and the Packers, but a lot of players were injured in week five.
So like Travis Kelsey got banged up, Justin Jefferson, as a hamstring issue,
Anthony Richardson, Collar, or AC joint, I guess, Daniel Jones's neck injury,
James Connor got hurt.
Khalil Herbert got hurt.
And the one that's most devastating involved,
D.K., your guy,
you jinxed him this time, not me.
As soon as we recorded.
I don't do the jinxing.
You do the jinxing.
You did the jinxing.
We wax poetic about how Dekh was right
and let him do a victory lap on how Devon A.
H.N. is incredible.
And literally less than 24 hours later,
he is a knee injury.
So how do you feel, D.
I feel terrible.
What are you talking about?
I feel.
Well, it's your fault is what I meant.
How do you feel?
Losing my mind to a sadness.
This sucks.
I'm really hoping it's nothing major.
obviously this is Monday afternoon.
We don't know much about it.
The Twitter docs that are out there, I think,
are indicating it's not going to be super serious.
I think he came back into the game at one point.
I'm not like super concerned with what the Twitter docs all think.
Wow.
It's better than nothing.
It's better than just guessing,
speculating completely without any information.
But yeah, it sounds like he's dealing with the injury,
and that's all we know right now.
So if he's out for a long time, I'm going to be very sad.
Even if he's out for a short time,
I'm going to be pretty sad.
So this sucks.
we'll see what happens again.
This is Monday.
So DK has waiver column that goes up.
It's at fantasyfutball.3.com.
Same place.
We have the rankings.
And so as things change,
and we get more information
between now Monday afternoon,
Monday and football game,
we have been played.
And when you have to put your waivers in,
can get info there.
We're going to go through our Mostad players
in week six,
and here's how this works.
We're going to go position by position.
We give our top pick from that position.
And like waiver,
why only one person gets them.
We're going to do a trivia tiebreaker
if we pick the same guy.
It's not that complicated.
You'll figure it out.
If you're listening, email
to ring your fantasy football, gmail.com,
send us trivia questions.
Make sure the answer is a number.
Email us, ringer fancy football, gmail.com.
I'm Danny underscore hyphets on Twitter.
DK.'s at Danny B. Kelly everywhere.
All right.
DK., without further ado.
Let's dive in.
Give me your number one running back ad
entering week six.
My number one ad right now is
Roshan Johnson for the Bears
running back.
Rookie.
What do you think?
I agree.
I also had him as the number one.
Yeah, so the reason here
is Khalil Herbert suffered what is being reported as a high ankle sprain.
That's what Syquan Barkley has.
That's what we've seen multiple guys have this season.
And it basically usually keeps players out for up to a month or longer.
And usually when they come back, they're not nearly as effective.
So it's looking like, you know, for the next few weeks at the very least,
Khalil Herbert's going to be out and or limited.
And that gives an opportunity for Rochon Johnson and kind of take over this leadback role.
Now he has, he went, is going through, currently going through concussion protocol.
So if he-
Great start for us right here.
We're being like number one out of the week.
There's a little bit-
Protocol.
What could go wrong?
The reason I have him here, though, is because I think he could potentially have this role for like a month,
just based on the severity of this Khalil Herbert injury.
And based on also the fact that he was working up,
he was working his way into the rotation quite a bit more over the last like two or three weeks.
And so, you know, obviously it may not work out for this week.
If he's still in concussion protocol by the time the weekend rolls around,
He might not play this weekend, but I do think down the line he'll have a big role.
The other guy to keep in mind here, of course, is Deonté Foreman, who would be the other next man up if Rochon Johnson can't go.
But I would prioritize Johnson now.
If he gets out of the concussion protocol this week, that's great.
It's not so next week.
I still think he's going to be the quote-unquote starter for a handful of weeks here while Claire Herbert heals up.
Both these dudes are super likable.
Deonti Foreman was like a really explosive running back he tours Achilles at this point five years ago.
And he's like just seems like a good dude.
And he's very easy to root for.
he's a fun running style.
But I want Roshan Johnson.
Rochon Johnson is, one, he's a rookie.
Come out of the draft.
He was the guy, he was like, what, quarterback slash, like,
probably could have been of safety in the NFL,
and then was converted a running back of Texas.
And then they recruited Bijon Robinson.
And they're like, ah, don't need you running back anymore.
So he was like, Bijon's backup.
And now he has this really, he's a fourth rounder to the Bears.
And he has this strange thing that you never really see,
which is he's a rookie running back,
who's like the pass catching running back on his team.
And just to give you an idea of the reason
we like Roshan.
Roshan Johnson had six catches in his first career game.
Deonti Foreman did not have six catches in the entirety of last season.
And so that's like in a nutshell.
And also I just think he has more juice because Deonti Foreman at this point,
Tories of Kili is like five years ago or four years ago.
So I agree with Roshan, but to your point,
guys with concussions this season are not playing if they get concussed on Sunday.
Like you can't really return in seven days.
But if you play on Thursday, like the nine or 10 day window, you can return.
So we'll see.
But I agree that Rochon's the guy's little showdown time over Rochon Johnson here.
You have to do it for Craig, though.
You have to do the...
All right.
This is the Rochon Johnson Showdown Time.
That was pretty good.
You know what?
I'm not going to lie.
I had low expectations.
But you did great.
Well, that's rude.
But cool.
It's the same reason the Giant Season isn't hitting me too hard.
I thought they'd be bad.
My brother's losing his mind.
All right.
Roshan Johnson
Trivia for all the marbles here
perfect
this is from
oh my god I forgot the person
I'm so sorry
it was
Connor
Connor
what year
was the last year
that a player was drafted
to the NFL
at a Frostburg State
which is perfect
this is a great question
first of all I have a question
how old is Frostberg State
I don't know that
You don't all know?
There's songs about it.
You don't know the songs?
Okay, so I'm going to...
I think actually this Hanson's song about Frostbreaths.
Drafted into the NFL?
Okay, again, I...
There's...
This seems like a trick question, but I've got something in mind.
Okay.
Three, two, one.
1939.
Well, I said 1939.
What'd you say?
I said 1990.
Oh.
I don't know.
I don't know either.
I don't know.
The answer is 1973.
Yeah.
I'm closer.
Right?
Yes.
Yes, yeah.
I'm fat at math.
All right.
I'm going to take Rocheon Johnson.
Can we get an answer of who this player was?
I actually forgot to look that up.
I'll look it up while you talk if you want to talk.
All right.
So next up here, I think I have late wrinkle with this H-N injury.
I think the question is, so there's a couple other guys here.
There's Zach Charbonnet.
He's the running back for the Seahawks, which it's kind of weird.
It's coming off a buy again.
It's not someone you'd necessarily want to plug in your lineup this week.
But the buy week, I think, is usually huge for rookies playing catch up during the season.
And the Sears just had their buy.
The flip side is your offensive line.
What are you down for?
Your five starters.
So that's not great.
But if you don't need someone for this week, I think if Charbonnet is out there, I think over the course of the season, it'll get way more valuable.
Shuba Hubbard's kind of an ugly one, like the Panthers.
It's like he's out snapping Miles Sanders.
It's kind of like you play stupid games.
You win stupid prizes.
It's like, if you want to like bet on like, like, oh, he could be the lead timeshare committee for the Carolina Panthers.
like sick.
What I got nine-carat, 25 yards?
The most depressing thing I can imagine.
Yeah.
That's the thing.
It's like,
I think it's genuinely fine.
If you like need someone this week,
if you're just like have a biopocalypse coming up or a bunch of injuries,
you're like,
I need a warm body to play and flex.
Chuba Hubbard's perfect.
But if that's not the case,
I'm like,
I don't know what the upside is on Chuba Hubbard on this Panthers team.
So I'm kind of like,
he doesn't accept my blood going.
The question I have for you is,
what about Jeff Wilson for the dolphins?
Because now that A chance hurt,
again,
this is like a real Monday conversation.
We don't know what the deal is.
but Jeff Wilson,
they're expecting his practice window to open.
Yep.
And he's coming off IR and he had IR.
It was like a weird combination of like a midsection injury
with a hand injury and I think they couldn't,
they thought he couldn't protect himself or whatever.
But now if H.N.'s hurt.
Obviously, if H.N's not hurt, this is less appealing.
But we've seen enough from the Dolphins running game
that if H.N. misses any time and Jeff Wilson's back.
I mean, you could easily play Jeff Wilson whenever you wanted,
like just based on what we've seen.
This is tough because when early in the year
before A. Chan kind of emerged,
it was like the Rahim Moser show, right?
He was getting the vast, vast majority of the snaps.
I don't know if that would continue
if Jeff Wilson is healthy and on the field,
and this is, again, assuming A.C.N.
is out. The other thing is
Savan Ahmed is another guy that's sort of
involved in this rotation. He looked good and limited
opportunities, and so this is just a mess.
If A. Chan is hurt,
I would prioritize Wilson,
but I wouldn't spend a ton
probably right on, like,
Fab or whatever at this point, just based on
We don't really know what the rotation is going to be.
We don't know how heavily he's going to be utilized.
We don't know how long H.N. is going to be out.
There's just a lot of variables here.
We don't know a lot, but at the same time, I don't know.
It's like Rahim Mostern is not exactly a, you know, a picture of health.
Yeah, it's a picture of health.
The H.N.'s already hurt.
I'm kind of like, it's a weekly game.
If you add Jeff Wilson and there's four weeks you end up playing him, I don't know.
Like, that could totally be worth it.
And this, that's kind of the thing.
It's like, look at the offense.
We're like talking about one of the five greatest offenses of the 21st
century maybe. So I'm like, I don't know. Maybe get that. I'm torn. I'm still, I'm just still in
shock with this A-chan news. So I'm, I don't want to talk about this. You're grieving.
Yeah. It's okay. Bob Maddox is the last guy drafted out of Frostburg State. Bob Maddox.
He was drafted in 1973 in the seventh round by the Bengals, a little more recent. I don't think I've
heard of this guy. Maybe I have Niles Scott was a, Bobby Mad Dogg and Nile Scott. Undrafted
free agent in 2018 for Cincinnati also. Cincinnati, just like filtering guys in. Because of course,
Frostburg State is in Cincinnati, I believe, isn't it? No. What did we decide? Cleveland.
Oh, Cleveland. So it's close. All right. Out there, running back. Justice Hill for the Ravens,
I thought he looked really good. He had seven carries for 32 yards, but I thought the point that,
one, he looked, he looked good. He just had a couple really aggressive spin moves that I appreciated.
I think he's the best looking running back
the Ravens have.
Juice wise, handsome, everything.
The other thing, though,
Justice still had four catches for 13 yards.
Do you know that four catches is tied
for the second most catches
or running backs ever had with Lamar Jackson?
Shut up.
That's crazy.
Yeah.
So that's important.
By the way, Jack says it was,
Frostburg State is in Maryland.
We decided this yesterday.
We already forgot.
Oh, Notre Dame College is in Cleveland.
Sorry, right.
That's right.
Because it was a Kyron Williams
went to Notre Dame College,
not Notre Dame University.
All right, actually,
I'm going to read an email on that right now.
Should we get through the running backs first?
Yeah, let's get through one really quickly.
I actually agree with you on Justice Hill.
I had to put up quite a bit higher on my list.
I just think, again, this is a good offense.
Last week, notwithstanding,
I think they're going to be a better offense as the season goes along.
He has more juice, I think, than Gus Edwards.
And more importantly, like he said,
he's way more involved in the passing game.
He's getting all the long down and distance third down looks.
And so I just think he has a slightly bigger upside right now
than Gus Edwards does.
And then Tadjay Spears.
You know, his snap rate for the Titans,
his snap rate continues to grow.
It's almost like 50% this year.
They're splitting reps pretty evenly with him and Derek Henry.
I'd say Spears is more interesting in games where it's either going to be close
or they're trailing.
The Titans are trailing because he's their past-catching guy.
And in the games that they're winning,
it's going to be like the Derek Henry salting away the last two quarters or whatever.
But Spears, he looks pretty exciting.
You know, just from a skill set point of view, he's explosive.
He can make guys miss.
And then the other guy to mention here is Amari Di Mercado running back for the Cardinals,
who would be ostensibly the next man up if James Conner misses a significant time here.
Can I make a statement?
I think there's a chance.
I don't know if this is the number one, but I think there's a chance that Amari DiMarcato
is the least known player we've ever plugged on the show.
He's up there.
Maybe that's not true because he's on T's not here.
I know.
He was not here right now.
Maybe that's not true because college football-wise, he was probably better known.
I mean, he's a backup running back.
but I think this is like a true who?
Yeah.
I mean, I barely know who he is, and I studied a draft.
He was, he backed up Kendrae Miller at TCU,
and he was backing up Kiante Ingram until like a week or two ago when Kiante Ingram got hurt.
And so this is definitely a deep cut running back on draft your free agent,
but he might be the next man up here if Connor missed a significant time.
He was the only, and that's the thing.
Against Monday, we don't know the severity of James Connor's injury yet.
obviously if James Conner looks like he might play on Sunday,
that's not a big deal.
And if James Connor is out a month,
then DeMarcotta's more valuable.
So you can move them up or down.
And again, D.K.'s rankings,
we can have a more updated version.
I just want to mention other stashes Jordan Mason.
I think not Elijah Mitchell is the guy behind McCaffrey now.
Elijah Mitchell cannot stay healthy in the backup role.
I don't know what world he would stay healthy in a starting role.
I like Jordan Mason.
Battery.
The email,
so we, sorry, the reason we're talking about Frostberg State is yesterday's episode.
We're talking about how Kyron Williams went to Notre Dame
but he went to Notre Dame college
No, Kairan Williams
went to Notre Dame
Oh no, sorry, he did.
How did I get on this?
Now I'm just slandering
Cairo and Williams.
No, it's Joliel McLaughlin.
Right, Jolil McLaughlin.
Sorry.
Whatever, however you say his name.
You're the one with the kid.
You're supposed to have like the bad memory.
Sorry, no, Kiron Williams went to real Notre Dame.
He went to real Notre Dame.
Notre Dame, well, they're both real, but Notre Dame
College.
And then we looked up Notre Dame College's schedule
because we're like, who did they even play?
And on there was Frostburg State.
Right.
Hence the question.
But then we got an email about this.
This one's from Tom.
Tom.
I got into Notre Dame, the one with the touchdown Jesus in South Bend, Indiana.
But one day, when I was in high school, it was like 20 years ago.
So one day and after school, another guy on the team, the football team is on, comes up to me and high fives me and says, dude, I'm going to go into Notre Dame too.
And I was surprised because this guy, you know, found school a little bit more challenging than I did.
And he said, but I went a wall with those like, nice, that's awesome.
I can't wait for football season, but like, you know, I'm not going to like the snow.
He's like, yeah, me too.
but I don't think it'll be that bad because it's in Maryland.
And I was like, what?
And that's what I learned.
There's not one, Notre Dame.
There's not two.
There's three Notre Dame.
There's the University of Notre Dame with the touchdown Jesus.
Then there's...
The Golden Domeers.
Yeah.
There's Notre Dame College.
But then there was also the College of Notre Dame,
which is now rebranded to the Notre Dame.
It's Notre Dame of Maryland University.
There's too many colleges.
we need to consolidate.
There's a lot.
There's a lot of colleges.

Wide receiver, Dekid, give me your number one wide receiver entering this week.
This one came down to two guys.
It was very close, but I'm going with Josh Downs for the Colts.
Who do you got?
Dude, I got Josh Reynolds for the Lions.
He's another good one.
I think there's a third guy to mention here, too.
How do you want to do this?
Josh Palmer?
Yeah, Josh Palmer.
We can't even agree on which Josh.
Josh Palmer?
I love for you say Palmer.
Palmer?
Dolphins.
Josh Palmer.
Yeah, I think those are the top three guys.
Josh Palmer, Josh Downs, Josh Reynolds.
Here's my take with Josh Reynolds.
The week of the Josh's.
Should we just do trivia for the people?
Yes.
Or should we just, no.
Yes, we absolutely should.
But otherwise it's kind of fake.
I feel like if we're doing that.
That's okay.
We are the host of the show.
We can decide.
It's true.
All right, whatever.
Craig's not here.
Craig would be like,
the sanctity,
whatever.
He's not here.
Yeah, Craig is a notorious stickler.
Yeah, you know what?
He would for rules.
Craig, you know what?
Decisions get made by those who show up.
All right, this is from Tom in Australia.
Tom.
Another Tom.
Who's the other Tom?
You mentioned a Tom that was on Notre Dame,
went to Notre Dame.
Oh, was it Tom?
Jesus Christ.
Your memory really is failing.
What is going on?
It was like 10 seconds ago.
Super embarrassing.
Anyway.
Anyway, Tom.
Talil.
I like when the questions themselves make me laugh.
How many writers are credited on Pitbull's Magnum Opus Hotel Room Service?
That's a great question.
Sampling the songs.
I know.
Yeah, a lot of the songs these days have like a million writers.
I read a whole article about how many, like the politics of how many people were credited on Sicko Mode by Travis Scott,
because he sampled like two of the songs that have the most samples
and he put it together.
So I think like 40 people had a credit on that.
I have a number in mind.
Yeah, me too.
Okay.
Three, two, one, 16.
Oh.
Whoa.
I said 17.
He said 60.
What's the answer?
The answer is 12.
Ah.
Nice.
Well, it didn't matter because we chose different people.
Yeah, that's true.
All right.
My thing with Josh Reynolds is simple.
He had four catches, 76 yards, and a touchdown this week.
He did that with a groin injury.
He's a starting receiver for the Lions
who are one of the best offenses in the league.
Right now, speaking of guesses,
well, I'm not going to make a guess.
Do you realize that Josh Reynolds is the 21st receiver
on the season?
21.
Yes, I did know this.
I thought it was 19th.
Maybe it moved after Sunday night football,
but.
Well, based on everything,
I'm getting everything wrong today anyway.
But he's ahead of Michael Pittman.
He's ahead of Devante Smith.
He's head of Jordan Addison,
Garrett Wilson, Terry McLaur and Chris Olavid,
DeAndre Hopkins.
And even if you account for Amari Cooper per game,
Amari Cooper.
That's wild.
How is this guy?
waivers. I think it's the name.
He doesn't have a lot of, he doesn't have
a lot of name recognition. Yeah,
he's a wide receiver 21. It must have changed at
some point last night. But anyways, yeah, I think
this is a good one. He had one goose egg in
week three, he didn't do anything. But otherwise, he's
been really solid. He's averaging,
or I don't know what he's averages exactly, but he's
double digits and half PPR
obviously and 15 points.
And Amonra St. Brown is like really solid.
Abdomin injury, which
Amonara might have like a hernia or
something. And if that's the case, Amonra,
missed time for the whole year.
And I know in theory, Jameson Williams's back is an outside receiver, but Jameson
Williams, and I wanted people to add him last week, but it's like, that's a slow burn.
That's like a you started 3 and 1, 4 and O and are just like, I want him later.
Josh Reynolds is the person who can help you now.
Like, he's starting.
He's playing.
And I'm like, every week of Monra, I think Josh Reynolds is the guy.
But Josh Downs, I also had, I had him number two.
Yeah.
So part of the reason I had Downs is related to the fact that Anthony Richardson has a shoulder
injury.
That's going to keep him out for, it sounds like at least,
a month, maybe longer.
Like, AC sprains on the right shoulder of the shoulder,
your throwing shoulder.
That's not a good thing.
It's like very disconcerting for me.
So for now, it looks like Minchu is going to be the guy.
And Mitchu has really targeted Josh Downs a lot.
Like he's been kind of, they've shown a lot of rapport.
Maybe this is one of those things where it's like the preseason narrative where they
gain a lot of like rapport and in chemistry when they're playing together on the second
team or whatever.
and early on in training camp and stuff like that.
So I don't know, Josh Downs to me, he's worked his way into the lineup.
He's playing a lot.
He's the third guy in that rotation right now.
He's a slot receiver only.
But he's getting, like, especially in half PPR and PPR,
he's getting like a lot of targets.
And so, you know, I think he's a guy that, especially in half PPR and PPR leagues,
can be really valuable as like a flex option going forward.
So Josh Downs will be my number one.
Josh Reynolds, I guess the only reason I balk a little bit is just that Jameson Williams
is coming back and Jameson Williams actually played a lot of snaps yesterday,
but Josh Reynolds has hurt, like he said.
And so that kind of could skew things a little bit.
James and Williams has three catches in his career.
I guess I don't look at James and Williams doing anything as like taking away from
Josh Reynolds necessarily because Jameson Williams is going to be in a perfect world.
He's basically going to be like Deshaun Jackson.
Like he has the potential to have like three catches for 150 yards and a touchdown.
But I don't think that takes away from Josh Reynolds being able to have like five for
80 every week. Yeah.
I mean, he also played like five snaps
and three receiver sets. So I'm like
for right now, what are we talking about here?
Also, if Amon Ra has gone, who cares? Like, it's
the Lions. It's like there's plenty of room to go around for everyone.
So Josh Palmer is the other guy here.
And for now, he's holding off
Quentin Johnston as the
you know, in the
pecking order in the Chargers
passing game, obviously. Quentin Johnson could
overtake him eventually. But right now,
it feels like he's pretty raw.
He's not doing the little
things that like, you know, receivers, coaches and offensive coordinators really like.
And so he's not...
Catching the ball with his hands?
That's one of them. But I think it's also just like running, timing and spacing and all that
stuff. And so Josh Palmer is a little bit more experienced. He's got some, you know, he's done it
before in the past in terms of production. And so I think Palmer would be, he doesn't have a
high ceiling probably, but in terms of like a flex option, if you're trying to fill in for
biweeks or injuries, he could be a guy too. I think he could be a guy to wind up.
So would you cut Josh Palmer for Josh Downs or at this point so close?
Josh Palmer was kind of like over our little threshold here.
I mean, they're pretty close.
They're pretty close.
Splitting hairs between those two.
But I guess I probably lean Palmer just because he's done it more.
I think that's a top tier.
The Josh is ironically, I do think the top tier of ads are like Josh's.
If you have a Josh, it would see if you're doing good.
I think the next guy from me, Rishi Rice, are the Chiefs,
who's the Chiefs rookie went in the second round.
Is it fair to say he's kind of like in the brain and a youth mold of just like
this like running back-esque athlete who's kind of just like,
They're like, we'll teach him to play receiver later.
That's who I comped him to, in fact, in my draft guide.
Did you know that or did?
I think I probably incepted myself where I knew that and then waited six months and then
thought it was an original thought that I had.
Right.
Correct.
Which is most of life.
But he got his funny.
He had a finally got his touchdown this week because he'd been tackled at the one yard
like two or three times.
But I will just say the two things about Rishi Rice.
Travis Kelsey's banged up.
And it's like, whatever, came back in the game and scored a touchdown.
So, but if anything happens to Travis Kelsey, I feel like Rishi rice is the only.
only receiver on this chief's offense that I actually can see like being great down the stretch.
And I say that his yards per route run right now is two point, basically two and a half yards
per route run. The receiver's ahead of him and yards per route run. I'm going to go in like order
from like 12 to one. It's Puka Nakua, Keenan Allen, Devante Adams, Justin Jefferson, Stefan
Diggs, D.J. Moore, Nico Collins, AJ Brown, Mike Evans, Brandon Ayuk, Tyree Kill. So just the who's who
who's good at receiver this year. And then Rishi Rice. So I'm kind of like, that's pretty good.
That's a good sign.
Well, and I agree with that.
The reason he's not higher, though,
29% snap rate yesterday,
which actually was down quite a bit from the week before.
I agree that he's a rotational player right now,
and it's not someone that would plug in your lineup right now
unless you're like in the league.
Yeah, this is a stash.
This is absolutely a stash.
Wild card guy I want to throw out.
That's probably wildly incorrect,
and you shouldn't listen to me,
but I'm just interested by it is Rondo Moore for their Cardinals.
Receiver.
Oh, I like where this is going.
Because James Connor's hurt.
Yes.
And again, they had one running back take snaps after James Connor left the game.
And they're like, Kianti Ingram is, I don't think he's that great.
And he's hurt.
Rondale Moore is taking snaps in the backfield, this is a receiver.
He's like, if Debo Samuel got minimized, like in Mario Kart when you get struck by lightning,
like that's what Rondale, he's like 5.7, he runs like lightning.
Second round or two years ago, he had three carries for 50 yards.
Evan Silva had established the run has been, he's basically like Austin Neckler
and that Ron Dale Moore's like probably best version going for.
forward his career. I kind of think Rondo more might get
carries the same way the Niners lose two running backs.
They're just like D-Bah, you're the guy now.
That would be sweet.
Kind of just based on, this isn't
based on anything factual.
It's just kind of a vibe. Yeah, it's a hunch.
I'm just like, looking at this team, I'm like,
why wouldn't you give this guy the ball? So I don't know, maybe Rondon
Moore gets the ball. Yeah, go back two weeks,
I think, or three weeks. He took a
I think it was like a sweep
or just an outside run. He took it
like 50, 60 yards for a touchdown.
And so he's obviously got the
explosiveness, I would worry that they'd be worried about him getting hurt just because he's been,
he's struggled with injuries, basically his whole career and going back into college.
But at the same time, he's, he's not like a, how do I put this without sounding like a dick?
He's not a very good receiver.
Like, he's not, he's more of a running back, honestly, than a receiver.
He's, he's in that spectrum of like a guy that's good after the catch.
You know what I mean?
He's not very good.
He's just so small.
He's like 5'7.
So, yeah, I think that would make a lot of sense.
I like that idea.
A couple of other guys to throw out here.
just quickly. Curtis Samuel for the commanders is doubling John Dotson in points this year,
almost doubling, which is just very hard to swallow, you know, for someone who is excited about
what John Dotson would be able to do this year. But the thing that differentiates Curtis Samuel
from Dotson right now, I think it's just like manufactured touches. Like they're getting
Curtis Samuel to ball in easier ways. I think he's caught something like 23 out of 27 targets,
whereas Dotson has caught 17 out of 30.
And so maybe just if you're looking for a slightly higher floor than Johan Dotson,
Dotson's floor has been absolutely horrific this season.
And so Curtis Samuel could be a guy.
And then KJ. Osborne is a guy that could come in and take over for Justin Jefferson,
if Jefferson misses multiple weeks.
And Kevin O'Connell, the Vikings said coach, that Jefferson's down, which is tough.
So I don't know what that means.
I think Osborne arguably should be higher on this list because...
Here's my thing with Osborne.
I'm very torn.
We don't know how long Jefferson's going to be out, so keep that in mind.
I'm torn because I think KG Osborne is like a very not special player.
Like I think he's very much a totally even at a third or fourth receiver level of replaceable person.
It's a jag.
And if you look at like just depth of target or yards per ret run, it's the people around him are like Skymore, Devonte Parker, people with like uncertain NFL futures.
Having said that if Justin Jefferson's out, like the, you know, the Vikings are playing the Bears this week.
You know what I mean?
Like Kajy Osborne maybe should be first on this list and we're overthinking it.
So depends whether Justin Jefferson is going to be out of month.
Yeah, maybe we should be like KJ.
Maybe the J and KJ stands for Josh,
and he can break into the top tier.
Perhaps, perhaps.
Hold on.
KJ. Osborne's full name is Kendrick Osborne.
Oh, so I don't know what the J is.
I can't find the J.
If it's Josh, that kind of answers the question, doesn't it?
Well, let's just say this.
I will get you on it.
Okay, he's an honorary, Josh.
Number one tight ad entering week six.
For me, it's going to be Logan Thomas for the commanders.
Veteran.
Well, this is kind of weird.
I still kind of want to go Luke Musgrave for the Packers.
I know.
It's still on the Musgrave.
But it's Monday Night Football and they haven't played yet.
So if you're listening to this and the game happened,
maybe Luke Muskgrade had like 200 yards and you're like,
obviously, maybe Luke Muskrave caught nothing and lost the Packers in the game.
And this sounds really dumb.
But you can alter your waiver list if you do.
So I think Logan Thomas is super fair.
I think I'd go, I still love Musgrave, but I'll go Thomas for right now.
I mean, Logan Thomas right now is the tight end nine.
That's, yeah, fine.
And this is a guy who has done it in the past,
whereas Musgrave, I feel like he's going to be a little bit more peaks and valleys.
I think Musgrave is good, and I think he's going to be good.
So if he's out there, he's a guy out absolutely stash.
But, I mean, Logan Thomas has a history of a lot of production.
And, you know, it doesn't look like right now he's in any danger of losing his job
based on what we've seen in the last couple weeks.
So you convinced me.
And also he had nine catches for 77 yards at a touchdown.
And he also plays with like zero regardless.
guard for his own life.
Like, there was a first down he leapt for
on that Thursdays football game where he kind of
leapt, like, you looked like a guy jumping through a window
or like if you were handcuffed
and you had to crawl out of like a cop car.
Like it just, like, literally like he just like jumped
and I was just like, he'll do anything.
And I'm like, all right, cool.
He might be good, yeah.
Logan Thomas Showdown Time.
Let's do it.
This is the Logan Thomas Showdown Time.
Oh, that was too much.
You're doing too much.
You're doing too much.
Do less, do less.
It's from Andre.
Andre.
What percentage of all animal species are just beetles?
That's a crazy question.
What a percentage of all animal species?
What an insane question?
So this would imply that there's a fuckload of beetles in the world.
There's so many animals.
So I saw the answer.
So my, but I knew I made a guess before I saw it.
So my first thought was 2%.
And then I was like, but he's asking us the question.
So that wouldn't be.
Well, I'm just going to price this right.
you and say five.
No, it's, well, you just went too quickly.
Did I too high?
That's not the answer I gave.
What's the answer you gave?
Well, I'll say it on the three, two, one.
I'm saying my first thought was two, and then my thought was, but he asked us this question,
and that wouldn't be a particularly interesting answer.
Oh, so you went way higher.
Yeah.
Okay.
Three, two, one, ten percent.
A hundred.
I don't know.
No, I said five.
I already said five.
We're all Beatles?
You're sticking with five?
Even though I already said five.
Do you want me to change my answer?
That's exactly what's giving you.
25. I'll say 25. What did you say?
I said 10.
Okay. The answer is 25.
All right. And I'm the one who claims. You saw the answer too.
This whole thing, this whole process has just completely been bastardized.
That seems crazy.
A quarter of all species are beetles?
Animal. I don't think bacteria counts in this, but animal species.
Still.
That's wild.
What about fish?
It's weird. Animals, I wouldn't think a beetle of it.
I wouldn't think a beetle is an animal.
You know what I mean?
Well, what do you think they are?
An insect, which I don't really consider an animal.
Obviously, I don't know the scientific, like, designations or categories or whatever.
I think of animals, to me, an animal is like a mammal.
Well, that's a kind of animal.
That's dumb.
But I know that's not correct.
It's very mammalist of you.
Yeah, I know.
I can't believe that.
So how many, so there's like 400,000 different types of beetles.
Wow.
That's ridiculous.
All right.
More you know.
So wait, I won.
Yeah, you get Logan Thomas.
I'll just take Luke Mosgrave.
Yeah.
For all the aforementioned reasons.
And watch the money football game and you can see if that's smart or not.
Actually, I'm realizing that I'm an idiot and the Packers run by next week next week.
Oh, wow.
So you probably take the Muskrave thing off.
There you go.
I mean, I still think Musgrave is a good, or stash or whatever for the next week after that.
All right.
Well, that was embarrassing for me.
You know who another annoying one here?
Yeah.
Janu Smith.
If you really want your life.
to be bad.
Like, if you want your life to get worse,
Jonu Smith is out there, guys.
He is outscoring Kyle Pitts and fantasy.
He has more catches and yards and fantasy points.
Sorry, more catches and more yards
in addition to more fantasy points.
I don't know if that's going to continue.
Obviously, Kyle Pitts had a good game this last week.
But Johnny Smith is actually a thing.
My fantasy team is basically just,
it's just cats in the wall from until he's sunny.
It's like, Kyle Pitts stuck in the wall.
Can't get him out.
We'll put Johnu Smith in.
We'll yank him out.
And then, like, Michael Pruitt's going to get a touchdown.
I'll be like, all right.
You need a nether cat.
Yeah.
Just keep pulling them out.
I think the other ones that look at Dalton Schultz for the Texans is actually part of this
offense now.
I feel like he started the season really quietly.
But the last two weeks, he has more yards.
He was more than twice as many yards as he did in the first three.
So I think Schultz is, you know, I mean, signed there as a free agent.
I think Schultz, you could probably do a lot worse than Dalton Shultz.
Like, Chigo Conkwell, I'm about ready to give up on.
Like, I would at this point, I'd just be told him.
I mean, he had nine targets in this last game and he didn't do anything with it.
That's the thing.
So the other one, if you're really desperate,
I know we've said this name before and been burned,
but I will say Gerald Everett,
who was robbed of like three touchdowns by Donald Parham.
Craig asked for Donald Parham to be stopped,
and he got, you know what,
carefully what you wish for,
because Donald Parham has his sprained wrist.
And if Donald Parham misses this game,
and if you're looking at your lineup on Sunday
and being like, oh my God,
I'm going to play Chigaconkwo again,
then yeah, maybe Gerald Everett.
All right, next step, quarterback.
quarterback.
So Anthony Richardson
seems,
I mean, he's basically
already been ruled out
for week six.
The question is when he comes back.
If you have Richardson,
I feel like you have other options.
And then Daniel Jones
has his neck injury.
It's not good.
They're playing the bills this week.
The offensive line is the or one of the worst
in the entire league.
Daniel Jones,
you're not doing anything with him.
So if you have to stream,
I don't know who you identify.
The guys that I'm looking after this week,
Sam Howell had like 26 points this week.
That was my guy.
And then Matt Stafford, the Rams were playing the Cardinals.
He's like perfectly solid.
And then Bryce Young, honestly, they're playing the dolphins.
It's kind of one of those, maybe the dolphins are up 25 points.
And then because Bryce Young had like, you know, hundreds of hundreds of yards last week.
And actually had a solid performance just basically in garbage time against the lines.
Yeah.
Sam Hal's my guy.
I mean, it's like this goes back to the way he played in college, I think, which was either
Hucket Deep or takeoff running.
And it's good for fantasy.
maybe not so good for, you know, the guys around him or the team in general.
Doesn't that say fantasy is broken if the strategy that's terrible for winning real games is great for fantasy football?
Isn't that like an indictment on all of us?
I don't really think about that.
I don't care, to be totally honest with you.
Why should I care?
I'm just trying to win fantasy, you know, matchups.
I don't really give a shit.
But, yeah, Howell would be the guy.
Last week, I remember Howell, I think had like 10 points at halftime and I was so bummed about starting him.
and then just garbage time.
Actually, they did, they made it pretty, you know,
in the second half to make comeback.
It's like if Blake Bortles have been fun to watch.
How are you feeling about Sam Powell overall, though?
Do you think he looks like he's out of his depth
and this is not going to last?
Or do you think there's something there?
I think he's the perfect stopgap quarterback for this organization.
They have nothing invested in him.
He's a fifth round pick.
Again, I just keep thinking about like,
You just have to want to win the Super Bowl.
There's like six or eight teams trying every year.
And Washington's in the group where Josh Harris, who owns the team now,
they're thinking about what are they going to call the team next year?
Like, you know what I mean?
Like, they're not.
This is what they're thinking about.
Like, they're just like, they don't know who's going to run the team.
I don't think Ron Rivera is going to be the coach.
Like, they got so many things to figure out.
Quarterback, he's a perfect amount of hope for the team in the short term.
And he'll be very easy to move on as soon as they have a different option.
It's low stakes because he was a fifth round pick.
It's a fling.
It's like, you know, they're not the right time.
You know, in each other's lives.
It's complicated, but like, hey, it's working for us right now.
The timing isn't right.
Why do we need to put a label on it?
That's all.
Yeah.
Just keep doing this.
All right.
Streaming defense is not going to lie, it's a bad week.
Like, you should probably stick with whoever you got.
So the two that I identified here, Cincinnati against Seattle.
I think Seattle's obviously a good offense.
And so that's not, like, the most appealing thing.
But Cincinnati's defense has quietly been pretty impressive.
And then Houston.
So Cincinnati's D, you're not afraid.
of Gino and the
sucks just because they have all the
backup linemen?
Correct.
I would say this is not the
greatest matchup for Cleveland
or sorry for Cincinnati
but I do think Cincinnati's defense is good.
Keep confusing Cincinnati and Cleveland.
Well, they are close together and they both start with C
so.
That's a real West Coast thing.
They're also both orange.
They're like three hours apart.
There are orange teams starting
in Ohio.
I'll give you that.
I conflate the two.
But yeah, and then the other one
would be Houston.
against New Orleans.
I don't know if I trust
New Orleans offense quite yet.
I don't trust Derek Carr
yet despite what happened
against New England.
How many people do trust
Derek Carr in any context?
Nobody, really.
I mean, you know,
maybe his brother.
Yeah, his brother definitely trust him.
Probably too much.
Yeah, I think the Jaguar's defense
just because they're playing the Colts,
I don't really love the Jaggers defense,
but I mean,
Gardner Minshew, I'm not, you know,
swayed by Gardner.
The Jags are a tough team to watch.
I texted you this.
over the weekend.
I know that they won.
But man, they are, they're just a painful team to watch.
I don't know why.
Maybe it's just, I expect them to be cleaner and crisper and just a little more efficient with Trevor Lawrence.
But man, I would say especially offense.
Like their defense, I'm not too concerned with.
But offensively, this is totally a tangent.
They're just offensively, very hard to watch for me.
They're one of the most frustrating teams to watch.
And on that note, the other one is the Raiders defense against the Patriots,
which again, maybe the sens hilarious because maybe Jordan Love carves up the Raiders
I'm on any football tonight.
But at this current moment in time,
it's difficult to imagine the Patriots,
they're having a successful offensive performance.
It's just offensive.
They're literally last in passing and lasting,
and rushing.
So maybe that right there is a Costanza.
But I don't know if I would actually stream any of these defenses.
Like, unless you're the Steelers who run by,
I'm kind of like, you probably just stick with whoever you got.
But if you really have to, you know,
the Raiders, you probably would never stream them in any of the week of the season.
But give me them.
I kind of think Mack Jones might get bench,
Billy Zappie, but I'm like, yeah, fine,
Let me roll the dice.
Yeah, but did you see Bailey Zappy when he came in in relief?
Bailey Zappy's been really bad.
He was really bad in the preseason.
They cut him to waivers.
This is what I keep coming back to.
Get this other Malik Cunningham guy up.
That's what I want to see.
I actually think that's actually what they should do.
If the Patriots sent Bailey Zappi to waivers, he's not the quarterback of their future.
Waivers means that they let all other 31 teams have a chance to take him.
No, everyone's like, yeah.
Everyone passed.
We're fine.
Like, that's crazy.
So, yeah, it's not good.
Here's a question.
Another tangent.
Do you think Mac Jones, well, first of all, do you think he's good?
And second, do you think he would thrive?
I guess this is connected.
Would he thrive on any other team, or is he just broken at this point?
In another universe, what if the 49ers had drafted him instead of training?
Yeah, there was this huge argument.
All right, this is actually one of my most passionate topics in entirety of football.
Oh, no.
And like, no, but nature, nurture, right?
Right, right, right, right.
Basically, I feel like the crazy person
because basically we look at these quarterbacks
in every position, but quarterback's obviously the most important.
And we're like, well, even in the first round,
half of them just don't work.
Half of them are just not good.
And I'm always, obviously, NFL's hard,
and particularly the future is hard.
And also, there's no industry that just is great at hiring, right?
Like, I don't know anyone who's like,
oh, yeah, our industry is famously gets like a 95% hit rate.
Having said that, I just look at the NFL draft
and I always think how the best prospect,
are handed to the worst teams.
Right.
And we're like,
I wonder why these guys suck.
And I did a whole breakdown in this.
And what I found was,
I defined a good team as a team that had been over 500
over the last two years and made the playoffs.
Right.
And those teams draft, quote unquote,
good quarterbacks twice as often.
There's something there.
There's something there.
I don't know.
Like, what do you think?
Like, if Brock Purdy and Mack Jones,
not right now, but I mean,
what do you think of Mac?
Let's start there.
Like, do you think he's broken and do you think he's good?
I would say he's closer to being broken than being good at this point in time.
I think, and I completely, by the way, I completely agree with what you're talking about,
nature versus nurture, I think surrounding sporting cast, coaching, continuity,
all those things really, really matter.
How willing a coaching staff is to, how willing they are to build like an offensive system
that really accentuates your strengths, or they just want to run their stuff,
and you need to learn how to do that.
You know what I mean?
Like there's so many variables that go into being a quarterback.
I also think, as I've said many times, confidence is a big part of this whole equation that is impossible to measure.
So I think there's a million things that go into it.
And obviously, I think the reason we see good teams hit on a higher rate with these quarterbacks is because the support system and coaching staff and all that stuff is there.
You're asking a hell of a lot for a 21-year-old player to come in and like save a franchise, lift a franchise.
There's a reason Bryce Young doesn't look good this year.
That's the thing.
So I don't know.
The example I always come back to is I think it is like, you know,
the reality is every person, every player,
like a player entering the league has a range of outcomes that I'll call
one to 10 on the scale of,
you know, Tom Brady obviously hit the 10.0 out of 10.0
on the possibility of scale.
And that's a testament to him and your specific,
each specific person is a different range of outcomes, right?
Like, I don't think Josh Allen's,
like I only Blake Bordell's had the 10 that Josh Allen says.
But the thing I do think is Josh Allen is,
approaching like an eight or a nine, right,
and achieving talent.
And I'm like,
if Josh Allen had actually gone to the,
we thought like even the day before the draft,
Josh Allen was going to go number one of the Browns.
If Josh Allen went to the Owen 16 Cleveland Browns
with Hugh Jackson and Todd Haley and had what Baker had
with four coordinators in three years,
I don't think he'd be very good.
We'd be making fun of him still.
And I just keep thinking about what if Baker had gone to the bills instead?
Like, we're, I don't know.
And so with the Mack thing,
I think Max's rookie year was so good that I think it's kind of weird
to think that he just sucks now.
I'm like,
but I do agree with you that he's been broken
because, I don't know,
it's a fragile thing.
But the environment you come into
in those first few years
is kind of everything.
Well,
the other thing that came to mind
when you're talking about this
is like style of coaching too.
Can you imagine,
and I'm not even defending Mac
when I say this,
but like,
can you imagine the conversations
between Mack Jones
and Bill Belichick?
Like,
Mac Jones,
personality-wise,
does not match up
with Billaheck,
I don't think.
also Patricia's sporting last year.
Yeah.
I just think the best
coaches, and we see this a lot
around the NFL right now.
Like there's a lot of young coaches
and they,
in just this a huge generalization,
but like maybe they can relate
to these younger players
just better and get them
and teach them more effectively
and just have a better relationship with them.
Like, can you, like,
I just can't imagine
Bill Belichick and Mac Jones interacting, period.
Like, it seems like they hate each other.
You know what a really good example is?
anything good.
The other example is also just the Texans right now, C.J. Strad, where Bobby Slovic
is the offensive coordinator there.
It's one of the younger coordinators out there.
And I think D'emico Ryan's was talking about how you have to, it's not about what you believe
as a coach.
It's about you have to, like, build your scheme to what your players do well.
And like Mike Tomlin, this is a famous example, but he was like a four three defense,
like through and through Vikings, four three defensive coordinator and went to the
Steelers and went through.
It was like, well, we have three, four people and did it.
And it's incredible.
I know it's so basic, but like, no one does that.
And I don't think there's a better example right.
now than Tua. And Warren Sharp was screamed about this from the rooftops and so many people were, but
Mike McDaniels all but said. When he got there, they, Chan Galey installed an offense for Ryan Fitzpatrick,
who does everything literally the opposite of two. He throws it, he rips it and rip it.
Doesn't worry about turnovers, throws it outside back shoulder, like, holds the ball, all this stuff.
And Tua, and Mike McDaniel's like, they were just having Tua do everything he's not good at and not
doing any of the stuff he is good at. And like, to Mike McDaniel, he just was like, the thing I had to
change was they had broken his confidence by asking
to do everything he sucks at.
He didn't say that part. And like, look it to it now.
Dude, it's, it's wild
how something so seemingly obvious
teams just don't do.
What are you good at?
This is not, this is a
very common thing in the NFL.
You know, this is why I've been so upset about like how
the bears and sort of utilizing
Justin Fields all these years.
And again, I'm not like, hey, have the
6'4 Cyborg who runs a 4-4
and just had the second most rushing out of Denver for a quarter
have him run more than once a game.
It's like, yeah.
Obviously, I'm not even like defending Justin Fields.
I'm just saying it's fucking logic.
Just use logic.
Do the things that your players are good at.
So anyways, I think, you know, that's obviously a huge, huge part of this whole equation.
And when I watch Tua now, it's so reminiscent of what he was doing at Alabama.
I'm not saying the schemes are exactly the same.
But like hitting his back foot, getting the ball out, you know, letting him, letting his processing be like the thing that defines him.
He's so quick and so just confident throwing over the middle field.
Like, design an offense that does that stuff.
And, you know, they're not trying to turn him into like a dropback passer
where he's taking really long dropbacks and going through his reads and progressions
and, you know, doing all the quote-unquote like pro-style stuff.
Just like let him do what he's really good at.
So accentuate the strengths and try and avoid asking him to do things.
This is something that Pete Carroll said, you know, throughout his whole career is
don't ask your players to do something they can't do.
That's something that's a huge, huge part of his whole system.
philosophy. That's where we're at right now. The teams that are competing, really truly
competing for a Super Bowl, there are only two buckets. There are teams that have a super
naturally good quarterback. Brock Purdy. No, not really. It's like, you know, it's Patrick
Mahomes, Josh Allen, right? Like, you know, we transcendent. Lamar, like people who have some,
not just one, but even like maybe a couple of different superpowers. And then the teams who don't have
that, but have the Shanahan-McDaniel offense where, wow, that guy's open, wow, that guy's open,
where literally just every play looks easy. And if you're not, if you don't have one of those
two things, then you're not actually going for it. It's true. It's just like, yeah, all right.
You want to do an email? We've a very important email here. Yes. Okay. This is from Adam.
Adam. Hey, guys, I've noticed that D.K has been using down bad or down atrocious a few times
while describing teams or players facing tough situations like, oh, they're feeling down,
they're down bad.
I figure you should know that though,
when the kids say down bad,
they actually mean desperately horny
for someone or something,
or like, i.e., atrociously down
to fuck, is what down bad means.
Really? Well, I didn't know that.
I feel like that's not really,
I don't know, maybe I'm just arguing,
I should not be arguing with someone who knows better,
but I feel like that's not at all how people use it on Twitter.
You're the old guy at the office
who is still saying, you know,
who got the,
phrase like
where the guy who emailed us
who was like oh yeah
like the old guys used the phrase
yeah you're gonna get your ass shoot out
but they just they're like
hey you're gonna get your ass ain't out
by the boss
like you're that guy now
without bad
I mean look
I'm just saying
this is not how people
I'm around use it on Twitter
I'm not saying I'm correct
maybe a lot of us old fogies
are just stupid
but yes
email us at ringer fantasy football
email.com
if you have other slang
that you've used
and you actually had no idea
what it meant
this is just like a great
continuation of the summer
Like when I didn't know what run train meant,
I thought running train meant getting run over by train.
Yeah.
So I need to stop using down bad, apparently.
Down atrocious, it means you're super horny.
I really did not know that.
That doesn't make any sense the way I'm using it.
Give me more of these people out there.
If you've heard me misusing slang.
Oh, I haven't shared them.
There's dozens.
We have so many examples.
You keep mixing metaphors.
That's what we get emails about with you.
Oh, I'm sure that's true.
I would love to hear more of them.
Make a list.
I'll make a list.
We can read it.
I'll publish a shame.
Emails or your fantasy football at Gmail.com.
You have any qualms without we speak?
That's cool.
I know I'd say golf and dolphins weird.
That's just not what I talk about.
Josh Palmer.
Yeah.
What is it?
And also I know I can't say penalties.
Penalties.
That was pretty close.
Instead of rhyming it with Maurice Pounce, pounty.
The Pounty twins.
All right.
We're getting out of here.
Emails for your fantasy football at email.

Thank you, D.K.
Thank you, Jesse, for producing
this episode.
Thank you, Craig, for being here
in spirit.
Thank you, Jack.
Thank you, Lauren.
Thank you, Fog Hat.
That's not real.
What?
Fog hat?
Stop it.
Take it easy.
Is that who makes that song?
Yes.
Fog Hat?
Yes.
I thought that was a joke.
Do they have other songs
or is that like they're?
I mean,
ostensibly, yes.
People are going to be mad at me.
I didn't know them.
Like, obviously I know this.
I actually feel like that's one of,
I feel like if you made a list of like the hundred most like memorable songs in the history of America,
that actually might crack it.
Like just like in,
you hear like two second split.
Fog hat is before my time.
I don't really know much about them.
I do know that song though.
It's on the Spotify.
Well, yes, that too.
But I was going to say shit.
Now I'm blanking on the movie with the high school movie,
the very famous high school movie where they drive around in cars,
constantly. What is it?
Is this thing confused?
Yes, that's the one.
Great movie.
Fog hat.
Great soundtrack.
I don't know, like, these band names,
I know we've talked about this,
but committing to some name you have
and you're like 17,
you're like, damn, like.
Foghat.
Do you think ASAP Rocky, like,
just hates, like,
he's like, God, I can't believe I'm wet with that.
You know what I mean?
Like, all these guys,
Fog Hat.
You're like 75 now when people are like,
Fog Hat.
Fog Hat is probably some slang
from the 80s that we don't know.
right now.
Oh, we could be a trouble.
And we're using incorrectly.
Oh, we Google that.
A euphemism for getting high on marijuana.
There we go.
Okay.
That makes a lot of sense.
Makes more sense.
Yeah.
Well, that's my education from Notre Dame College right there.
There you go.
All right.
Which is in?
Cleveland.
All right.
I got a tweet just a few minutes ago that said that, uh, what is it?
Frostburg University is in Maryland, but like right by the West Virginia.
Virginia border.
Frostburg University,
essentially West Virginia.
I'm not going to lie.
There's some East Coast geography
that would blow your guys' brains.
Like you would be,
I know my mind was blown when
that Sacramento to Oregon was eight hours.
Like that was crazy to me.
Right.
But you guys have no idea
with states border,
which I bet you have no clue.
That is 100% correct.
You know, Buffalo is like a seven hour
drive to New York City,
but it's a one hour drive to Pittsburgh.
I did not know that.
Yeah, no.
We could do that all day.
Isn't Toronto south of like a bunch of U.S.
like big cities?
Yeah, technically.
That's kind of like how Toronto.
We were talking about how Reno is technically more west than L.A.
Right, right.
It's weird.
All right, goodbye to me.
