Speaker 1: it up here on Fantasy Freestyle. We are going to
Speaker 1: have someone who did in fact save a real life
Speaker 1: right here on the Fantasy Freestyle, live and direct from DKMS.
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about, you know, how it was to
Speaker 1: actually go through that process. We're gonna get into that
Speaker 1: a little bit later. I'm ne we're gonna talk to
Speaker 1: him a little bit about fantasy baseball as well. Listen,
Speaker 1: the draft is under two weeks away, so we are
Speaker 1: going to go right back into some of the high
Speaker 1: profile quarterbacks. Okay, I've been saying this for the last month,
Speaker 1: month and a half. I think the narrative on Josh
Speaker 1: Allen and the narrative on Lamar Jackson is completely screwed up.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you more reasons to back up that case.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you which quarterback I think is locked
Speaker 1: and loaded to be the best of this class. We'll
Speaker 1: get into that a little bit later on. And then,
Speaker 1: like I said, we put the fun and functional sports content.
Speaker 1: As always, we are going to continue to break down
Speaker 1: our rapping athletes. We've got an hysterical one my man
Speaker 1: Danny Otto down there, and I agree this may be
Speaker 1: one of the funniest ones yet. We'll get into that
Speaker 1: end um. Some of you may know, if you check
Speaker 1: me out on Twitter or whatever. I was celebrating a
Speaker 1: little bit, uh this week and uh the stats overbeat
Speaker 1: Cipher really came to my aid and as uh, you know,
Speaker 1: big shout outs to them. I want to honor them.
Speaker 1: We're gonna have a little bit of fun with that
Speaker 1: a little bit later on in the show as well.
Speaker 1: As always, we also have a trivia or a poll
Speaker 1: question up on Twitter. You can follow me at spit
Speaker 1: and Speed The question I have for you is, with
Speaker 1: the draft coming up, do you want your team to
Speaker 1: uh trade up, trade down, or when they're drafting, go
Speaker 1: for the best player available or go for that position
Speaker 1: of need. Okay, different philosophies out there. Some teams like
Speaker 1: to accumulate pick some some teams looking to cash in
Speaker 1: those chips and go for it right now. Some people
Speaker 1: are just looking for the best player on the board,
Speaker 1: and some have very specific needs that they are going
Speaker 1: to fill early in the draft. What do you hope
Speaker 1: your team do? Does We have people voting on that question.
Speaker 1: We'll check in with that throughout the show. But what
Speaker 1: I want to start off with is, you know, news
Speaker 1: and notes around the NFL since last time I talked
Speaker 1: to you here on the Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy
Speaker 1: Sports Network listen to. Big news is that the Cowboys
Speaker 1: have cut Dez Bryant. Okay, it's saving them eight and
Speaker 1: a half million dollars on their cap. A lot of talk, okay,
Speaker 1: a lot a lot of talk coming around this one,
Speaker 1: Dez saying that maybe the Jason Garrett guys kind of
Speaker 1: pushed him out, maybe there was some kind of rift.
Speaker 1: A lot of people now saying your Boys speeds included.
Speaker 1: If you listen to the show all football season long,
Speaker 1: I was calling Dez Brian a quadruple a wide receiver.
Speaker 1: He was not an elite number one receiver. Okay, With
Speaker 1: Tony Romo, who would throw it up to him and
Speaker 1: he could try to fight at the point of the catch,
Speaker 1: that was one thing, okay, But in this new offense
Speaker 1: with DAC where he does not take as many risks,
Speaker 1: it was not working out and the Cowboys are gonna
Speaker 1: go save that eight and a half million. He's now
Speaker 1: done a couple of things. One is that he said
Speaker 1: he wants to see the Cowboys twice a year. I
Speaker 1: pad Dez is this kind of vindictive revenge guy. I
Speaker 1: see that he says he wants to play them twice
Speaker 1: a year. Does that mean he's gonna how to join
Speaker 1: his man Odell Beckham with the Giants. The Eagles kind
Speaker 1: of have that. You know that that role filled with Alshon.
Speaker 1: Jeffrey doesn't really want to go to our nation's capital.
Speaker 1: Who maybe a few steps away from true title contention,
Speaker 1: But he also checked this out. He followed a bunch
Speaker 1: of Texans on Twitter, so maybe you know he doesn't
Speaker 1: want to stay in the nfcas maybe you want to
Speaker 1: stay in Texas. He followed J. J. Watt, Deshaun Watson,
Speaker 1: Uh the hop Okay, so we'll read between the lines.
Speaker 1: But Dez is out there. He's certainly going to get
Speaker 1: a job very very soon. I do not believe he's
Speaker 1: this number one receiver, but if he wants to fit
Speaker 1: into the slot of some team, it could be very interesting.
Speaker 1: I personally would love to see him with my man
Speaker 1: Jimmy g over there on the West coast, even though
Speaker 1: that doesn't, you know, fit his criteria. Right now, check
Speaker 1: this out. I want to talk about the Lions backfield. Okay,
Speaker 1: they conflicting reports out of there. Remember they signed with
Speaker 1: Garrett Blunt. You got a mirror Abdullah, you have THEO Rittic,
Speaker 1: you even have zz top Zack Center. You have um
Speaker 1: guys like Washington as well, and at first Patricia and JBC,
Speaker 1: my man Jim Bob Gooder. So that day we're just
Speaker 1: gonna go running back by committee and ride the hot hand.
Speaker 1: But now it looks like a Merabdulah maybe on the block.
Speaker 1: He may be the guy without a chair when the
Speaker 1: music stops. Keep an eye on the Lions backfield, because
Speaker 1: if they shake free, Abdullah could be another guy in
Speaker 1: this mix. Moving addresses, the Saints and Cam Meredith have
Speaker 1: agreed to a two year, nine and a half million
Speaker 1: dollar deal. Remember Cam Meredith coming off that a c
Speaker 1: L injury last year. He now goes to the Saints again,
Speaker 1: same kind of thing like des Bryant, not as dramatic,
Speaker 1: of course, but he is stepping down in roll maybe
Speaker 1: for a different team. Meredith was the number one that
Speaker 1: one year he had to breakout with the Bears. Now
Speaker 1: he wouldn't be with Allen, Robinson and Burton and all
Speaker 1: the other weapons that they've acquired. So he goes to
Speaker 1: a team where he is, you know, a cog a piece. Okay,
Speaker 1: but with the Saints. Remember fantasy heard. You know what
Speaker 1: your boy Speed says about the fantasy heard great and
Speaker 1: real football not so much for fantasy production. I think
Speaker 1: Meredith takes a big back down. Okay, going to a
Speaker 1: team that obviously has Michael Thomas, obviously has camaraon Ingram
Speaker 1: out of the backfield. Um, you know you also have
Speaker 1: guys like Ted gin jr. Uh even Snead, although I
Speaker 1: think Snead maybe on the move. So it is a
Speaker 1: downgrade from unfortunately for Cam Meredith. Um. I also want
Speaker 1: to talk about some some people that have been cut. Okay,
Speaker 1: the Broncos went ahead and in fact cut c J. Anderson.
Speaker 1: Your boys Speeds has been talking about this in the
Speaker 1: short term and in the long term for a while.
Speaker 1: Shout out to my man Pete and Staten Island. If
Speaker 1: you're down with the stats over beat s Ifer, you
Speaker 1: remember that Pete was always with me on Davante. Booker
Speaker 1: has the back to own in Denver moving forward, and
Speaker 1: it looks like the path has been cleared for that
Speaker 1: as the Broncos go ahead and cut c J. Anderson.
Speaker 1: A couple of fifty year options have been picked up
Speaker 1: as well Jamison Mariota obviously, but it doesn't look like
Speaker 1: the Giants are gonna pick up Eric Flowers as a
Speaker 1: top ten pick with that price, So keep an eye
Speaker 1: on those things. That's a couple of things as we
Speaker 1: get ready for the draft, we're gonna hear a lot
Speaker 1: of buzz in the next week week and a half.
Speaker 1: I also, like I said at the top of the show,
Speaker 1: I want to talk about, uh, a couple of these
Speaker 1: guys coming out of the draft, right I want to
Speaker 1: talk specifically about Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson. The narrative,
Speaker 1: if you haven't heard from me or elsewhere already, is
Speaker 1: that Josh Allen. Allen is this you know, coaches kid
Speaker 1: and gets the mental side of the game and has
Speaker 1: all the tools you need. But at a completion percentage.
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, you know, dynamic and athletic, but should turn
Speaker 1: into become a wide receiver because he had completion percentage.
Speaker 1: But I saw something on PFF and they go real
Speaker 1: deep into these stats and I think they're really relevant,
Speaker 1: and uh, you know what, if it was interesting, check
Speaker 1: this out. They broke down some of their stats on like,
Speaker 1: you know, on deeper you know, deeper kind of slices,
Speaker 1: shall we say, and on what they call after their
Speaker 1: second read. And this is what you have to do
Speaker 1: in the NFL, right, you have to look at you
Speaker 1: one guy, then look at the second read and then
Speaker 1: stills be able to make something happen. See, go through
Speaker 1: your progress sans mentally. Here is that kind of thing
Speaker 1: that they didn't think Lamar Jackson could do. Right, check
Speaker 1: this out on reads or your third reader later, Lamar
Speaker 1: Jackson was completion percentage. Josh Allen twenty nine. So who's
Speaker 1: the one who's actually getting through their progressions better? Huh? Interesting?
Speaker 1: Also check this out. They also have another category of
Speaker 1: what they call quote unquote scramble throws. You would obviously
Speaker 1: think that this is where Lamar Jackson's doing it, right,
Speaker 1: he sees the rush and he's ducking out the back door,
Speaker 1: or he's using his dynamic athleticism, right, and Josh Allen,
Speaker 1: the prototypical quarterback with the stud arm. Right, I can
Speaker 1: throw it through the barn. You'd be standing in the pocket. Right. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: you know that Josh Allen actually had more scramble throws
Speaker 1: than Lamar Jackson last year. So I think that is
Speaker 1: also interesting. But to be quite honest, regardless regardless, um,
Speaker 1: it comes down to Baker Mayfield. When you look at
Speaker 1: the PF when you look at the p f F F
Speaker 1: grades of this, everything comes back to Baker Mayfield. Everything
Speaker 1: comes back to Baker Mayfield. His his his completion percentage
Speaker 1: over se same thing in quote unquote tight window throws,
Speaker 1: same thing in NFL QBR rating. And this is for
Speaker 1: like three years in a row. This isn't you just
Speaker 1: taking one little sample of what he's got Okay, this
Speaker 1: is consistency. I know he's only six ft or six one,
Speaker 1: and I know that some people think that he's a
Speaker 1: little bit too um vocal, too spunky, to feisty. But
Speaker 1: it's very interesting and and Baker is kind of my
Speaker 1: under the weeds guy. He's the guy. You know. I'm
Speaker 1: a Jets fan. They're going up third, right, I've been
Speaker 1: talking about Sam Donald. I don't think he's gonna be there.
Speaker 1: Outside of Sam Donald. I think Baker Mayfield is the
Speaker 1: guy to get. I am not scared by him being
Speaker 1: six one. Read Drew Brees, read Russell Wilson. I like
Speaker 1: his elusiveness. I like his leadership, his moxie, shall we say,
Speaker 1: and he is another thing. And I want to know
Speaker 1: dany Otto when we check in with you later. I
Speaker 1: don't know if the stats over beat Cipher feels about this.
Speaker 1: Um he's keeping Get this, Danny, he is keeping a
Speaker 1: revenge list through this draft process. He is keeping a
Speaker 1: list of all of the you know, media types and
Speaker 1: sportscasters and analysts who have anything negative to say about him. Okay,
Speaker 1: and any media members that's crossing the line. Check this out.
Speaker 1: And I quote he says it doesn't really bother me
Speaker 1: that much because I know the people that say some
Speaker 1: of these things have never actually taken a snap behind center,
Speaker 1: never had three hundred pound lineman about to hit them
Speaker 1: when they have to read the defense downfield. If I
Speaker 1: was worried too much about it, I'd be worried about
Speaker 1: the wrong things. But I do use some of it
Speaker 1: as motivation. I can listen to the people patting me
Speaker 1: on the back, or I can listen to the people
Speaker 1: saying I need to get better. I know I need
Speaker 1: to get better, or else they would be nobody saying that.
Speaker 1: So he's all about growth, right, But he's keeping this
Speaker 1: in the back of his mind just so we can
Speaker 1: stick it. I like that kind of size chip on
Speaker 1: my shoulder on my six ft flat quarterback. And I do,
Speaker 1: in fact think slash hope that the jet as Jets
Speaker 1: Jets Jets are going to go this way. Um in
Speaker 1: about a week and a half, I think Baker Mayfield
Speaker 1: winds up being three. I was talking to my boy
Speaker 1: Mikey Florio down there in the fantasy pit of misery.
Speaker 1: We think it is going to go number one, uh
Speaker 1: Sam Donald to Cleveland, number two, uh se Kwan Barkley
Speaker 1: to the Giants and number three. I think the Jets
Speaker 1: are gonna take this look at Baker Mayfield um as
Speaker 1: their quarterback and throw him in the mix with Teddy
Speaker 1: Bridgewater under the tutelage of McCown for about one year
Speaker 1: and and let Bridgewater and Bakman Mayfield fight it out
Speaker 1: and see who is the era apparent to uh, you know,
Speaker 1: this is Jets franchise and being the and being the
Speaker 1: you know, face of the franchise, shall we say? So,
Speaker 1: I think this is very interesting. But check this out. Um.
Speaker 1: You know who Baker is definitely going to add to
Speaker 1: his revenge list is Ryan Leaf. Ryan Leaf is out
Speaker 1: and talking about Baker Mayfield. Okay. He said that, um,
Speaker 1: he listens to the interviews with some of these uh,
Speaker 1: some of these first round picks and some of these
Speaker 1: quarterbacks that are on the tour and on the on
Speaker 1: the you know, on the on the circuit, shall we say,
Speaker 1: And he says, if any of these quarterbacks sound like
Speaker 1: I did, then I know it is a red flag.
Speaker 1: And he says that Baker Mayfield actually does sound like
Speaker 1: he did. Okay. And he's saying that he sort of
Speaker 1: thinks that he has still has a lot of maturing
Speaker 1: to do in an NFL locker room, going up and
Speaker 1: talking and leading men, shall we say. And it's interesting
Speaker 1: I saw Ryan Leave do a little bit of media
Speaker 1: tour this week, you know, and that conflicts with what
Speaker 1: a lot of people are saying. You hear Mick Shay
Speaker 1: out there saying that leadership is actually one of Baker
Speaker 1: Mayfield's best qualities, right. You hear that the football coaches
Speaker 1: that interview Baker Mayfield absolutely love him. Well, the GMS
Speaker 1: love him. I think that is the more interesting case. Well,
Speaker 1: the GMS actually also want to stake their claim and
Speaker 1: risk their job on, you know, taking their shot on
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield. But I do love the fact that he's
Speaker 1: keeping this revenge list. I do love the fact by
Speaker 1: a lot of these more detailed PFF grades, it looks
Speaker 1: like Baker Mayfield rates out better than Donald, better than Rosen,
Speaker 1: better than Alan, better than Lamar Jackson. But when it
Speaker 1: comes to Jackson and it comes to Alan, remember Lamar
Speaker 1: Jackson is actually making more reads and it's actually scrambling
Speaker 1: less than a guy like Josh Allen. So that's some
Speaker 1: of the stuff I wanted to talk to you guys
Speaker 1: about when it comes to football. And right now, remember
Speaker 1: we got that pole question up. I'm asking you guys
Speaker 1: for your team, Um, coming up in the NFL draft,
Speaker 1: you want your team to trade up or trade down?
Speaker 1: Do you want your team to draft the best player
Speaker 1: or maybe go over the position of need. We got
Speaker 1: that pole question up right now. Thirty nine percent of
Speaker 1: you say take the best player. Shout out to of
Speaker 1: course Clayton trey Han who says I'd prefer Baker Mayfield.
Speaker 1: But don't see him dropp into the Pats tying it
Speaker 1: all together? How we do in fact like Baker Mayfield? Right? Um?
Speaker 1: And and and that's interesting. The Pats have now talking a lot.
Speaker 1: There's some some report out on ESPN that Brady hasn't
Speaker 1: committed to playing this year and the world is all
Speaker 1: a buzz I thought he was gonna play until he was,
Speaker 1: you know, sixty five years old? Or is there really
Speaker 1: drama in New England? Is at the fall of Rome,
Speaker 1: like your boy Speeds has been talking about, right, And
Speaker 1: there's talking now. You know, obviously they lost uh Brissette,
Speaker 1: they lost Garoppolo. Who is this heir apparent? Right? So
Speaker 1: will they use some of their draft capital and trade
Speaker 1: up to get a guy like Baker Mayfield. The reports
Speaker 1: out there that they're interested in a guy like Josh Rosen,
Speaker 1: and Rosen is sort of the quarterback that is falling
Speaker 1: in the last week in this process. Okay, so maybe
Speaker 1: they can combine some of their assets, hop up a
Speaker 1: little bit, and go on and get a guy like
Speaker 1: Josh Rosen. It's interesting. Um Andy m says, where's the
Speaker 1: option for quote, give a damn about my city and
Speaker 1: fan base who love you. I think that's called um
Speaker 1: trading up maybe right, because that demonstrates that you care.
Speaker 1: And also, my boy Michael perez Uh says, just checking
Speaker 1: in on the cipher holding down speeds. I'm interested in
Speaker 1: who my giants are gonna draft. Hashtags, stats over beats.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now, the Giants I believe are
Speaker 1: gonna go ahead and draft se Kwon Barkley. It looks
Speaker 1: like it's inevitable. There's a lot of reports here in
Speaker 1: New York that it is inevitable. If I were to
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns, though, I would usurp them. I take Barkley one,
Speaker 1: and then at four, I take whichever quarterback. False. To me,
Speaker 1: it sounds like a lot of people think that these
Speaker 1: guys are not franchise altering dudes just yet. So why
Speaker 1: not play the Jets role and see whichever one comes
Speaker 1: to you, but lock in a guy who may be transformational,
Speaker 1: and that is say Kwan Barkley. Okay, big shout out
Speaker 1: to everybody checking in on the cipher, everybody checking in
Speaker 1: at spitting speeds. The last thing I want to talk
Speaker 1: about football. Listen, Regardless of what team these guys end
Speaker 1: up on, it used to be that if you were
Speaker 1: playing Thursday Night Football that you might have been towards
Speaker 1: the end of the season in those color Rush jerseys.
Speaker 1: And those are now going away for Thursday night Football. Remember,
Speaker 1: Thursday Night Football is gonna be on Fox. This sheer
Speaker 1: they've got, I believe, all the games. It's not that
Speaker 1: split thing when NFL Network or Twitter or anything like that.
Speaker 1: And with this um, they're now saying that the color
Speaker 1: Rush jerseys are now not exclusive to Thursday Night Football
Speaker 1: and will be seen sporadically on Sundays, but will not
Speaker 1: be on Thursday Night Football much anymore. And these have
Speaker 1: been a hot topic ever since two thousand fifteen when
Speaker 1: they introduced them. If you remember and boy do. I
Speaker 1: remember shout out to my man smiles pe out there
Speaker 1: from Chronicle, who is legit red green color blind? I
Speaker 1: remember I actually went to a Jets Bills game at
Speaker 1: met Life a couple of years ago on Thursday Night,
Speaker 1: and they had the Jets and green and the Bills
Speaker 1: in red and the color Rush unis and you literally
Speaker 1: color buying people called in and said they literally couldn't
Speaker 1: tell UM who was what, and that was very interesting
Speaker 1: and I just thought it was crazy until one of
Speaker 1: my closest friends actually has that exact kind of color
Speaker 1: blindness and said, yeah, he couldn't follow his fantasy team,
Speaker 1: didn't know what McCoy was doing or if he was
Speaker 1: getting tackled or not. But we will not be in
Speaker 1: these color Rush jerseys much anymore. But and they won't
Speaker 1: be on UM only Thursday night football. They'll be all around.
Speaker 1: Check it out. Here's we're gonna do. We're gonna pay
Speaker 1: some bills in a little while here on the Fantasy Freestyle.
Speaker 1: When we come back, though, I am overjoyed, we are
Speaker 1: going to be joined by a very very special guest.
Speaker 1: Okay you hear me talking about d k m S
Speaker 1: and the fight against blood cancer. All the time here
Speaker 1: on the Fantasy Freestyle. You heard me talk about it
Speaker 1: on lineup lock over the football season. Okay, and um
Speaker 1: what what we we've been partnering here to help fight
Speaker 1: the blood cancer because people in the fantasy demographic, you know,
Speaker 1: your your guys from like twenty to thirty five or
Speaker 1: what have you, Right, these are the perfect people to
Speaker 1: potentially donate bone marrow to people who are afflicted with
Speaker 1: blood cancer. Okay, So we're going to do after the break,
Speaker 1: we are going to have Michael Tanny on. He is
Speaker 1: someone who heard and answered the call, like we always
Speaker 1: say on the show, swabbed his cheeks, sent it in
Speaker 1: and then was in fact a match for someone who
Speaker 1: was struggling with bone cancer, need a blood cancer, needed
Speaker 1: the bone marrow, and he came in and actually did this.
Speaker 1: I say it all the time. We're not talking about fantasy.
Speaker 1: We're talking about in real life, okay, and that is
Speaker 1: what we are going to do. We're gonna be talking
Speaker 1: with Michael Tanney, who's a hashtag dk MS athlete right here. Uh,
Speaker 1: this is not fantasy, this is real life. We're gonna
Speaker 1: be talking with him in our next segment here it

Speaker 1: one that I can empathize with because I've also, uh,

Speaker 1: I tell you that I'm skiing in Switzerland. Okay, well yeah,
Speaker 1: turned me off, Okay, first class accident and I misjudged
Speaker 1: to drop and I went about thirty feet off the cliff. Okay,
Speaker 1: So where your helmet when you're skiing. I don't know
Speaker 1: if the helmet would have done anything in this specific context.
Speaker 1: I got lucky that all like all I all I
Speaker 1: hurt was the a C L fair enough, Yeah, I've
Speaker 1: done it twice myself. I've done it twice myself toward
Speaker 1: the a c L twice. The first time was uh
Speaker 1: they used my uh my patel A. The second time
Speaker 1: they use the cadaver. And so I'm wondering, like, you know, what,
Speaker 1: what what person do I have in my leg? And
Speaker 1: why do I always beep when I go through when
Speaker 1: I go through metal detectives. But listen, let's talk about
Speaker 1: this because um, obviously, like you said, it's so easy.
Speaker 1: Everyone needs to do this. We're talking about d k
Speaker 1: MS and how they really helped to fight against blood
Speaker 1: cancer by getting as many bone marrow potential donors as possible. Right,
Speaker 1: and listen, I did, I did did the d k MS.
Speaker 1: I've done things like twenty three and me. It's so easy.
Speaker 1: You just like swab your cheeks right and mail it
Speaker 1: in and then they take care of the rest. You're
Speaker 1: actually making it sound even more complicated. I mean literally,
Speaker 1: you just take this like cute tip, right, and you
Speaker 1: you swab it in your mouth like you mentioned, for
Speaker 1: let's say three or four seconds, you put in an envelope. Done.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's if I told you it took
Speaker 1: me longer to go to the bathroom today. That would
Speaker 1: be accurate completely, And it's there's no I hate to like,
Speaker 1: I don't want to pressure people, right, but if you
Speaker 1: have the ability to save someone's life and it's all
Speaker 1: it does is take you a few seconds, I don't
Speaker 1: know how you say no to that. No, it's almost
Speaker 1: a disservice to not do it. And I've been telling
Speaker 1: you guys. I've been telling you guys for months here
Speaker 1: it is so easy to do it. And we talk
Speaker 1: fantasy right all the time. And this is not even fantasy.
Speaker 1: This is in real life. You know, people want to
Speaker 1: be fantasy heroes. This is a way in real life
Speaker 1: you can go ahead and help save someone's life. So
Speaker 1: tell me how does it? How does it really work out?
Speaker 1: And how how how how are we doing with d cams?
Speaker 1: Are we really making progress here? Yeah? So they don't
Speaker 1: quote me on this, but I think they have over
Speaker 1: seven million people in the database. And what's incredible is
Speaker 1: that we all have different DNA, right, so you and
Speaker 1: I look completely different. You're gonna get a tan in
Speaker 1: the summer, I'm gonna get burnt, can't stop that. But
Speaker 1: we may have the same DNA underneath. Right, we come
Speaker 1: from different lines. But the beauty is that you don't
Speaker 1: necessarily even have to have cancer. You could have a
Speaker 1: blood disorder, something else that's wrong with you, right, it
Speaker 1: has to do with your blood. But it's so simple.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's to build up that data base. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's an honor because if you're in the situation where
Speaker 1: chemotherapy or alternative treatment is not working. And not to
Speaker 1: be a drag on the show, but you kind of
Speaker 1: have no choice, right, the barrel is staring at you,
Speaker 1: and your last chance for hope is for a stranger
Speaker 1: to be your match. I mean I'm waiting. I hope
Speaker 1: every day I get the call to be that stranger. Right,
Speaker 1: so you've done this and now and but you have
Speaker 1: not yet matched yet. No, No, I encourage everyone to
Speaker 1: go through SUAB. Like I said, it takes literally three seconds,
Speaker 1: and you can save a life. And that life could
Speaker 1: be someone older, younger, white, black, rich, poor, It doesn't matter,
Speaker 1: it doesn't discriminate. Absolutely absolutely. Well, thanks for here. We're
Speaker 1: talking about the way you can help. Here with dk
Speaker 1: M has helped to fight against blood cancer. We're talking
Speaker 1: with Michael Tanney. Michael Tanney is also the founder of
Speaker 1: wonder Lust Wealth. You want to tell us a little
Speaker 1: bit about what you do, Yeah, unbashedly, I'll tell you.
Speaker 1: I'm shameless plug here coming up guys. Www, Nah, I'm
Speaker 1: a financial advisor, Okay. I help clients think through their
Speaker 1: personal finances best their money for them. It's a holistic
Speaker 1: type of situation where where you know, look at all
Speaker 1: the different people in their lives, accountants, advisors and just
Speaker 1: work together to make sure that they're getting the right
Speaker 1: type of advice for their future and their legacy planning.
Speaker 1: And this is really important for the status over beat
Speaker 1: Cipher because as you know here on the Fantasy Freestyle,
Speaker 1: we help you win your leagues and win that cash.
Speaker 1: So then when you accumulate the cash like your boy Speeds,
Speaker 1: the spitting statistician, the stable genius and vocal minority, then
Speaker 1: I might have to go over to Michael, right, and
Speaker 1: you might have to manage that wealth that I have.
Speaker 1: What would be well, let's be real though, what is
Speaker 1: like kind of the the minimum that you are managing here?
Speaker 1: Because you know, um, we went in that cash and
Speaker 1: all right, but you know, would you still take me
Speaker 1: on as a client. I would be honored I will
Speaker 1: tell you that it's never too early start, never too
Speaker 1: early to start plant, and the number doesn't matter. It's
Speaker 1: all about percentage. That's right, that's right. This is all right.
Speaker 1: So here we go. But I will say, by the way,
Speaker 1: I will say, if you don't mind that, that I
Speaker 1: have to thank Fantasy Baseball because as a young kid,
Speaker 1: right been twelve years old, my friends started an al
Speaker 1: only as draft at like an eleven year old, right yeah,
Speaker 1: And I mean we counted pennies and bags figure out
Speaker 1: you know what. You're managing risk right there, and you're
Speaker 1: learning how to count. And so I have a big,
Speaker 1: a big thank you to Fantasy Baseball for making me
Speaker 1: a better person in math. I can actually do my
Speaker 1: job better. Absolutely, listen, I've always said it. Uh, you know,
Speaker 1: middle school kids learned fantasy sports, okay, learned dfs. Okay.
Speaker 1: We're talking about probabilities, deep stats, fractions, you know. And
Speaker 1: at the same time, you have to justify your actions, Okay.
Speaker 1: You have to have rationale and evidence for to make
Speaker 1: your decisions. These are the critical thinking skills that are
Speaker 1: young people need. Absolutely Michael Tanny and Dame Martinez here
Speaker 1: on the Fantasy Freestyle. But let's talk about this because listen,
Speaker 1: we are a fantasy sports show, right, Obviously we're helping everybody,
Speaker 1: but the way people need to help, whether it's given
Speaker 1: you clients to manage at at your wealth management company,
Speaker 1: or whether it's everybody here listening to the sound of
Speaker 1: my voice that he is going to swab their cheeks
Speaker 1: and say them in you could be a match. I
Speaker 1: can't stress this enough. This is not fantasy we're talking about.
Speaker 1: This is real life. You could be a match and
Speaker 1: really help someone struggling with blood cancer or any other
Speaker 1: kind of didse that matters in the book. But let's
Speaker 1: talk a little bit of fantasy baseball, okay, because you know,
Speaker 1: and and for from someone who is a UM wealth
Speaker 1: slash risk manager like yourself. Right, we at this point
Speaker 1: are what ten fifteen games into the season. You know,
Speaker 1: if you make the analogy to say football, right, ten
Speaker 1: games is like one of the baseball season. That's like
Speaker 1: a game, you know. So what we want to do
Speaker 1: is throw out some players. And I know you know
Speaker 1: you're an avid fantasy baseball player. We were talking a
Speaker 1: little bit about some some players before, and you know,
Speaker 1: at this stage of the season, is it enough to
Speaker 1: start making real kind of judgments on if someone who's
Speaker 1: off to a fast start will continue to stay hot
Speaker 1: the whole season. Is it just a hot two weeks
Speaker 1: a trend or is it something new and real? You
Speaker 1: know what, do you believe that to three weeks into
Speaker 1: the season you're actually seeing things like this? Or would
Speaker 1: you tell your clients and let's wait and see how
Speaker 1: the market develops a little bit. More So, I think
Speaker 1: that on the slow start side, I think they're huge
Speaker 1: opportunities to get some diamonds in the rough, diamonds And Michael,
Speaker 1: it's almost like he knows about fantasy freestyle here, Michael,
Speaker 1: we do diamonds in the rough and fantasy fool gazes
Speaker 1: the guys you need to exactly. So some diamonds in
Speaker 1: the rough you can find and could be sustainable early season. Absolutely.
Speaker 1: But on the fast start side, I think it's a
Speaker 1: little bit harder because you got guys like like a
Speaker 1: Tim Anderson. Right. So Tim Anderson, for example, last year,
Speaker 1: his ability to judge the strike zone was horrific. I
Speaker 1: think he actually was the worst gradual league start. Right.
Speaker 1: There's like a point one I ratio, which is horrific
Speaker 1: when you think about it. I mean think I think
Speaker 1: a three hitter will get like a one point oh
Speaker 1: or so, just to give you an idea. So he
Speaker 1: was impatient, He couldn't figure out a ball from a strike,
Speaker 1: et cetera, couldn't get on base, can't show his wheels
Speaker 1: for some reason, Maybe he got lasick this year. That's
Speaker 1: I'm saying, like, sometimes when you look at these things,
Speaker 1: maybe something changed and had a personal loss last year
Speaker 1: and that affected and that was hard for him to
Speaker 1: play through the whole time. And I can understand that
Speaker 1: that's definitely an impact to you. You're still a human
Speaker 1: as a player. But but something's changed. And I don't
Speaker 1: know if that means that that that's going to change
Speaker 1: for the rest of the year or maybe he's just
Speaker 1: seeing it. Well right now, the speed will be there
Speaker 1: if he gets on the stolen bases will be there.
Speaker 1: You know, he's already got six or seven stolen bases
Speaker 1: tops in the league that we know. The speed will
Speaker 1: be there. The question is, what's happened. Is this boost
Speaker 1: not only in getting on base but in power. His
Speaker 1: you know, his ops is something like eight fifteen right now.
Speaker 1: This you know, after being one of those protestip go weak, hitting, speed,
Speaker 1: middle infield. Guys. He did have the two home runs
Speaker 1: on opening day, which will like you know, with such
Speaker 1: a small sample size or really kind of uh, you know,
Speaker 1: kind of skew the data. Shall we say, but do
Speaker 1: we think Tim Anderson? Are you saying Tim Anderson is
Speaker 1: a diamond in the rough? We believe in him, we
Speaker 1: need to go and get him right now? No, No,
Speaker 1: I think Tim Anderson the next two years is going
Speaker 1: to be a good, good fantasy baseball player. I would
Speaker 1: sell high right now. You would sell high. This is
Speaker 1: the guy we're talking financial management. This, No, this I
Speaker 1: knows about buying low, selling high. That's what you need
Speaker 1: to do to win your leagues and win that cash.
Speaker 1: Michael Tanney here is going to sell high on Tim
Speaker 1: and said. Okay, I want to talk about two more
Speaker 1: guys that I think fit this mold and interestingly enough, Michael,
Speaker 1: both at the shortstop position. Okay, going into the season,
Speaker 1: I told you, guys, I told everybody in the stats
Speaker 1: overbeat Cipher that short stop is a place where you
Speaker 1: can get value a little bit later on. You do
Speaker 1: not have to necessarily reach and grab for the Korea's
Speaker 1: for the Lindor's okay, and if you listen to me,
Speaker 1: one of the guys who may have come upon was D. D. Gregorious. Right,
Speaker 1: I was telling everybody that I love D. D. Gregorious.
Speaker 1: I know he wasn't gonna be in the cleanup spot
Speaker 1: of this order with guys like Stanton and Judge and Gary,
Speaker 1: you know, but that just means more production Forded Gregorious
Speaker 1: and boy has he done it. I mean he is
Speaker 1: on base at a four thirty clip. I believe he's
Speaker 1: got like five home runs. The power is there, you know,
Speaker 1: fifteen sixteen are b's in the middle of that lineup.
Speaker 1: Do you believe DD's hot start is sustainable? Yes, okay,
Speaker 1: tell me why definitely, because he's you mentioned it, right,
Speaker 1: You got Judge in stand in front of him, Gary
Speaker 1: Sanchez behind him. He's going to get so many fastballs
Speaker 1: to hit. He's got that short porch. But what's interesting
Speaker 1: is you saw a change in him last year. Right,
Speaker 1: the first half of the season, he's batting about three
Speaker 1: or so. I know he got a little injured, but nonetheless,
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden the second half of
Speaker 1: the year, his power numbers go up, but his average drops.
Speaker 1: So I think he's in this interesting cross road in
Speaker 1: his career. He's twenty eight. I think he maybe a
Speaker 1: free agent after next year, and he's got maybe one
Speaker 1: or not. He's definitely want to keep him. That's exactly
Speaker 1: at this core four or five really good guys. And
Speaker 1: I mean, you don't get fantasy points for this, but
Speaker 1: he seems like a great guy. He is kind of
Speaker 1: a great leader in the club house, always a bubbly
Speaker 1: um optimistic personality. Shall we say, Yeah, he's definitely a
Speaker 1: a force in that locker room, so we believe indeed,
Speaker 1: it sounds like, yeah, I think he's great. All right,
Speaker 1: let me ask you about one more and this is
Speaker 1: kind of on the other side it Okay, one guy
Speaker 1: who is off to a very slow start so far
Speaker 1: at the shortstop position is Dodger shortstop Corey Seeger. Okay,
Speaker 1: Corey Seeger was the top four, top five shortstop. Everybody
Speaker 1: thought he was going to absolutely explode and completely surpass
Speaker 1: his brother in terms of uh, you know, production was
Speaker 1: going to be this kind of elite shortstop on the
Speaker 1: level of a Corea, on the level of a Lindor
Speaker 1: on the level of a trade turner moving forward. But
Speaker 1: it has not been the case this year for Corey Seeger,
Speaker 1: for most of the Dodgers, if you want to know
Speaker 1: the truth, off to their start, the dude has only
Speaker 1: one home run, only four ribbys, and on base percentage
Speaker 1: below to eighty. And he's hitting in the two hole
Speaker 1: of that lineup, you know, and as the saber metricians
Speaker 1: you know, dig into the lineup, the two spot is
Speaker 1: really a prime space. You're gonna get the plate appearances,
Speaker 1: you have the protection behind him. Yet Corey Seeger is
Speaker 1: not able to really replicate what he's done early in
Speaker 1: his career. Do you believe that turns around? Is he
Speaker 1: say a by low asset for you? Or do you
Speaker 1: stay away from his Dodgers offense right now? I think
Speaker 1: if you got him on the cheap and you're in
Speaker 1: the keeper league, absolutely hold on. But I think there's
Speaker 1: something else going on. Right He heard his elbow last
Speaker 1: year and he wasn't the same, and then this year
Speaker 1: I heard rumblings that his elbow was still bothering him
Speaker 1: in spring. So I'm not wanting to look at spring
Speaker 1: training and evaluate. I was totally wrong with with the
Speaker 1: Japanese sensation, but the idea that he may actually be
Speaker 1: playing injured, and I wonder if there's something about that.
Speaker 1: So so on the financial level, I'd say, I'd say,
Speaker 1: let's let's audit his medical records. It's some costs, so
Speaker 1: you gotta hold him for now. Record. I genuinely think
Speaker 1: there's something wrong with his elbow. I think there's something
Speaker 1: to that, and maybe it's a matter of Justin Turner
Speaker 1: coming back or some more depth than then they can
Speaker 1: give him a breather. I I just he's too good
Speaker 1: of a player, He's too good of a line drive hittery.
Speaker 1: He just doesn't look like himself all right, So maybe
Speaker 1: there is a bylow opportunity on Corey single. We do
Speaker 1: not believe in Tim Andon. We do believe indeed Gregorious.
Speaker 1: That is the diamonds and fool gazes out of Michael Tanny,
Speaker 1: remember the founder of Wanderless Wealth and a d k MS.
Speaker 1: Uh you know hero ready to match with somebody, Michael.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you know, but we have a
Speaker 1: parting gift for you here. We have a T shirt
Speaker 1: for you awesome. Uh you know, a little uh, a
Speaker 1: little daily Roado action. Here we're gonna represent and um, listen,
Speaker 1: if you don't know if you don't know and you
Speaker 1: haven't heard so far. Remember d k MS and the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Sports Network are helping the fight against blood cancer.
Speaker 1: You can swap your cheeks. It takes less time than
Speaker 1: it takes from Michael over here to go to the bathroom. Okay,
Speaker 1: and then d k MS does the rest. You send
Speaker 1: it in. That's it. When you match, you have the
Speaker 1: ability to truly save someone's life, not in the fantasy
Speaker 1: sports world, in real life. Thanks so much for joining
Speaker 1: the show, Michael, Thank you for having me. I really
Speaker 1: appreciate it, absolutely absolutely, so you know, and just so
Speaker 1: you know, Corey seeger By Low, did Gregorius ride it out?
Speaker 1: Tim Anderson sell high. When we come back, we're gonna
Speaker 1: put the fun in functional sports content. We got a
Speaker 1: lot of other stuff to do it. I got another
Speaker 1: presence on wrapping my girl, Jilly Dilly, come on back

Speaker 1: the fun and functional sports content right and we're gonna
Speaker 1: do that in so many different ways in this next,
Speaker 1: uh and final segment of the show. Um, Danny, I
Speaker 1: gotta have you with me on this segment because I
Speaker 1: got a couple of things I want to talk to
Speaker 1: you about. UM. So, first of all, Danny, UM, do
Speaker 1: you are you familiar with the rapper um Meek mill
Speaker 1: I am you are someone familiar? Do you know that
Speaker 1: he is? Um? He is in the Chester, Pennsylvania Correctional
Speaker 1: Facility doing two to four years for a probation violation
Speaker 1: right now. I did not know that. Okay, well now
Speaker 1: you do. Now you do. UM. His his visitors log
Speaker 1: it is pretty interesting. It's pretty interesting. Uh. Last week
Speaker 1: Michael Rubin, who was one of the owners of the
Speaker 1: Philadelphia seventy sixers, came through and brought through like Ben
Speaker 1: Simmons and Joel emb just to like say what's up?
Speaker 1: And uh, last week, guess who else came through to
Speaker 1: give him a visit Patriots owner Robert Kraft. And afterwards
Speaker 1: Craft was like, yeah, Meek Mill is in a bad situation. Uh,
Speaker 1: he's a great guy. I love him. Check this out.
Speaker 1: And I quote from Robert Kraft, amazing young man. I
Speaker 1: know how I feel if I was in the situation
Speaker 1: he is. When is Robert Kraft ever gonna be in
Speaker 1: a situation that Meek Mill is in? That's what I
Speaker 1: want to start by asking. Okay, but let's read on
Speaker 1: into Robert Craft's quote. He says, every time I see him,
Speaker 1: I just come away more impressed. He's very intelligent, and
Speaker 1: it makes it clear to me that we have to
Speaker 1: do something with criminal justice reform. Are you telling me
Speaker 1: that the saga of Meek Mill is what got you
Speaker 1: to realize this, Bob Kraft, not like your murdering tight
Speaker 1: End or anything like that. It was Meek Mill because
Speaker 1: he's a good guy and there's something wrong with the
Speaker 1: criminal justice SYSM. That's what makes you think that there's
Speaker 1: something wrong with the criminal justice system. But I digressed
Speaker 1: in because as you said, you know, I can't get
Speaker 1: too deep into it because then I get you know,
Speaker 1: I get too rustled up, and that's a bad thing.
Speaker 1: But um, what do you think about Meek Mills visitor
Speaker 1: log high class? Huh yeah, I mean, what what is this?
Speaker 1: I wish I wish I had anyone that I wish
Speaker 1: I had friends like this in general? You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I had the stats over beat Cipher. But
Speaker 1: that's about it. But but Danny, speaking of the stats
Speaker 1: over beat Cipher, and you know this, I'm not big on.
Speaker 1: I'm not big on telling too many people about this.
Speaker 1: But you know the reason, Danny. You know, we usually
Speaker 1: do the show on Tuesday's right, and we're here today
Speaker 1: on a Wednesday instead of Tuesday. Last night because to
Speaker 1: be honest, guys, everybody, uh, yesterday it was a boy's birthday. Okay,
Speaker 1: it was boy's birthday, so I'm out and I was
Speaker 1: doing a little celebrating, you know. Um, so we're doing
Speaker 1: the show today. But big shout out to everybody on Twitter, Okay, everybody,
Speaker 1: from a man Kenny Cashman at road A where uh
Speaker 1: at road A where to my people, um, you know,
Speaker 1: Nando Dafino to my man Andy Singleton to my man
Speaker 1: Mike Florio down there in the pit of misery, wishing
Speaker 1: me um happy birthday. But also I heard from my homegirl,
Speaker 1: Jilly Dilley. If you are part of the Stats over
Speaker 1: Beat Cipher Fantasy Free Style, you know about Jilly Dilley.
Speaker 1: You also know that Jilly Dilley, going into Christmas sent
Speaker 1: me an ugly Christmas weather as a present. When I
Speaker 1: get a message from Jilly Dilley telling me that she
Speaker 1: sent me a birthday present and we have it here, okay, gang,
Speaker 1: we have it here, so and I'm gonna open it.
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is just yet. It feels
Speaker 1: like it is a like a shirt. It feels like
Speaker 1: another garment to be quite honest. Let's see what we
Speaker 1: got here though from Jilly Dilley. Okay, it is a shirt.
Speaker 1: It is a shirt. Oh snap yo, shout out to
Speaker 1: Jilly Dilley. She gets Danny, are you ready for this?
Speaker 1: I don't think you're ready for this? Danny, I don't
Speaker 1: think you're ready for this. Are you ready for this?
Speaker 1: The Stable Genius and Vocal Minority? What do you know
Speaker 1: about that? What do you know about that? Yeah? You
Speaker 1: know what it is that is what I'm talking about. UM,
Speaker 1: big shout out to Jilly Dilley, of course, thank you
Speaker 1: so much. UM, I'm gonna have to rock this the
Speaker 1: Stable Genius and Vocal Minority, Danny. I know, I know
Speaker 1: popping off is doing big things, but you can't have
Speaker 1: fans like the Stats over Beat Cipher that love you
Speaker 1: like Jilly Dilley. Come on, now, this is pretty amazing.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's something we will hopefully strive towards. That's
Speaker 1: all I can ask for. I know, all right, this
Speaker 1: is absolutely ridiculous. I thoroughly love it. Um, Julie Dilley,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to rock this. I'm gonna have to
Speaker 1: rock this. Maybe next week we'll have to rock the
Speaker 1: Stable Genius and Vocal Minority. Thank you so much, UM
Speaker 1: for the birthday present. Thanks to everybody who shouted me
Speaker 1: out on my birthday. But um, it ain't about me.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the Stats over Beat Cipher. And speaking
Speaker 1: of which, we got a question from the Stats over
Speaker 1: Beat Cipher that I wanted to get at Philip Litel.
Speaker 1: First of all, Danny is a Florio. Still down there
Speaker 1: he is, Hey, Florio, come on come on for me
Speaker 1: for a second. I got a question from the stats
Speaker 1: over beat Cipher that I want to ask you about, okay, um,
Speaker 1: because I want to get your your input. Fantasy best
Speaker 1: friend forever, Mike Florio, you can hear him, my man
Speaker 1: Greg Sussmann, Sasmania, my man Frankie Stamfull on bff's Monday
Speaker 1: to Friday. They make it happen. Check this out, um, Mike.
Speaker 1: I got a question from a man, Philip Littell at
Speaker 1: pe Lidsight six. He's in a Dynasty league, okay, and
Speaker 1: he wants to know he got the offer of trading
Speaker 1: Weaver and a future pick to get back this year
Speaker 1: Hanager and Clevinger. Oh, that is a I'm not a
Speaker 1: huge dynasty player. Actually, I'm not in a Dynasty league currently.
Speaker 1: Your your expertise is still respecting. Weaver and Clevinger both
Speaker 1: have a ton of upside, So to me it comes
Speaker 1: I have Weaver a little bit. I had him higher
Speaker 1: ranks coming into the year because of the certainty of
Speaker 1: his spot, which I still think is in his favor.
Speaker 1: The pick versus Hanager, that's the thing, who do you
Speaker 1: think to pick like? And he said this pick, She'll
Speaker 1: check this out, and this is the lynch pin for
Speaker 1: me as well. Okay, Florio, because check this out, he
Speaker 1: said the way he's in his league, right the dynasty
Speaker 1: he keep, they keep fourteen guys, so the pick can
Speaker 1: be no better than like round fifteen or sixteen anyway. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying exactly. So that's why I
Speaker 1: agree with you. I'm taking the hanegar in Clevinger and
Speaker 1: generally speaking, in the dynasty and dynasty formats, whether it's baseball,
Speaker 1: whether it's football, in dynasty formats, I'm a guy who's
Speaker 1: gonna play for now as opposed to play for the future.
Speaker 1: And you know why, because I feel that I am
Speaker 1: up on the world and anybody I'm playing against, and
Speaker 1: so by next year I'll find a new hot diamond
Speaker 1: in the rough. Next year, you know what I mean, Like,
Speaker 1: I'll apply my round pick better than you're gonna apply
Speaker 1: your sixteenth round pick anyway. So give me the asset
Speaker 1: that I can use to win my league and win
Speaker 1: that cash right now. So generally speaking, I'm on win
Speaker 1: now instead of trading future assets. What do you think
Speaker 1: I'm in the exact same way man Flags fly forever exactly.
Speaker 1: I know people, so run on in the Dynasty league.
Speaker 1: But I'm in a keeper and I know people who
Speaker 1: have had the best team. But you know, come to
Speaker 1: trade deadline when the teams who are out of it
Speaker 1: are trading for keepers given half their team away, they
Speaker 1: trusting the process. There was this one person in my
Speaker 1: league who never did it and said, I'd rather keep
Speaker 1: my keepers and know it will be good for years.
Speaker 1: Last year he finally caved traded one of his top
Speaker 1: keepers ended up winning the championships. Exactly with you. Flags
Speaker 1: fly forever, absolutely absolutely, and I'll be able to make
Speaker 1: fun and talk KA with my friends all the time.
Speaker 1: Like you said, the flags fly forever. The text messages
Speaker 1: I can send also last forever. Thanks Florio, I agree,
Speaker 1: and thanks for all the questions out there and the
Speaker 1: stats over beat Cipher hit me up at spitting speeds

Speaker 1: advice of you know, the stable genius and vocal minority,
Speaker 1: um Danny Otto. We only got a little bit of
Speaker 1: time left, but we gotta go to one of our
Speaker 1: regular segments here now on the Fantasy Freestyle. We gotta
Speaker 1: critique the rapping athlete. Okay, and I gotta tell you something.
Speaker 1: We were talking about this down in the fantasy Pit
Speaker 1: of misery. We're talking about Julian Turner. He is a
Speaker 1: linebacker on more House, right, but he dropped a song
Speaker 1: called x y Sell Life and listen, we're gonna play
Speaker 1: this and if you can't figure out why it is awesome,
Speaker 1: you know, Danny, I think we are now taking this
Speaker 1: to another level. We talked about, Um, was it Marvin
Speaker 1: Bagley in college and he was doing some things. We
Speaker 1: did a little some funny songs in between, right, Uh,
Speaker 1: you know like Martellis Bennett and Snoop. This dude is
Speaker 1: either teaching himself how to study or is just on
Speaker 1: another level when it comes to intelligent versus and word play. Um,
Speaker 1: so let's play a little bit of Julian Turner x
Speaker 1: y Cell Life and then we'll break it down. When
Speaker 1: a man Danny Otto down the fantasy pit of misery,
Speaker 1: this fantasy freestyle, we'd be critique in rapping athletes, that's
Speaker 1: what we do. We put the fun and functional sports content.
Speaker 1: Let's give it to him, Danny get n start. Oh,

Speaker 1: kid of making live. My tusas copy sons are about
Speaker 1: to die. If my jeans going left unred, all my
Speaker 1: sons are dead. If my jee's going left unready, my
Speaker 1: sons are dead. If my jeans gonna left unread, all
Speaker 1: my sons are dead. If my jews going left unread,
Speaker 1: un mid the DNA prepper Mike tusas happens in the interface,
Speaker 1: then we moved to Profance Suter shape comatisca. As the
Speaker 1: bubble breaks down. You know I'm talking men bred mataface
Speaker 1: coromatuo ded at the heart and a face comatus are
Speaker 1: put upart. See the face form and you will start
Speaker 1: while the starts to piss rerec apart. Side of conniesis
Speaker 1: the cyclist through that mystic is a live Let them
Speaker 1: know the cellular biology in chromatitious plus. Okay, all right,
Speaker 1: let's get that down a little bit. Danny Otto makes
Speaker 1: some mad Ex sense to sense make so if you
Speaker 1: didn't realize so far, this is on of a remix
Speaker 1: and a parody of Little Oozys, All my friends are dead, which,
Speaker 1: my man is the trap game. My estros young cos
Speaker 1: the effect. They also parodied this song when the giants
Speaker 1: all got hurt. I remember when Odell beckham sterling Shepherd
Speaker 1: and Brandon Marshall all got hurt in the same week.
Speaker 1: They did one call, all the giants are dead. Now,
Speaker 1: this is all my cells are dead by Julian Turner.
Speaker 1: First of all, Danny like cellular mitosis and d NA
Speaker 1: replication as the content area for the rap um. Talk
Speaker 1: to me about this. I think this is like good
Speaker 1: enlightened stuff. I think this is a exhibit a to
Speaker 1: anybody that's out there being like these can't jang saying
Speaker 1: nothing these days to take my man Craig Carton's little
Speaker 1: old man voice away. Um, what do you think I
Speaker 1: learned something? Right? The DNA starts to unwant Do you
Speaker 1: think my man just made this like starting to study
Speaker 1: for some like biology final Oh. Absolutely, That's exactly what
Speaker 1: I said to you. It was like, this is a
Speaker 1: genius way to to memorize the alert something. But it
Speaker 1: was actually pretty good lyrically, I mean, my name was
Speaker 1: fitting the flow of the actual song, much like the
Speaker 1: trap game Maastros do with the fantasy football remixes. Right,
Speaker 1: So that was I thought that was very cool. Um,
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you we've really stepped up our game
Speaker 1: over the course of the Rapping Athletes. Danny we started
Speaker 1: with things that were just like that lazy trap stuff, right,
Speaker 1: and it just wasn't you know. I was like, that's
Speaker 1: all right, but whatever. Um but I think we've really
Speaker 1: stepped it up um as we've gone along. I I

Speaker 1: we're we're gonna have to do next. I already got
Speaker 1: it because next week, next week, Danny, my show on

Speaker 1: was worried that Lamar Oldham like died, remember, like you know,
Speaker 1: Chloe and the Kardashians and all that good stuff, and
Speaker 1: he was like in a real bad way. You know,
Speaker 1: he had like the crack addiction and all that stuff. Right, well,
Speaker 1: you know he's um, he's bounced back a little bit.
Speaker 1: He's bounced back and um get this. Lamar Odom is
Speaker 1: now starting a marijuana business in California. He has said
Speaker 1: that there were certain strains of marijuana that helped him
Speaker 1: get over his crack addiction, and he is now starting
Speaker 1: a variety in a line of cannabis products. He says,
Speaker 1: and I quote, while going through rehab, I discovered certain
Speaker 1: strains that support wellness. So I decided to team up
Speaker 1: with place called Camp Green, a company that supplies organically
Speaker 1: grown pest aside free cannabis. Friends, associates and ex teammates
Speaker 1: asked me what solutions I was using on my road
