1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 1: Welcome to Stupidity, home of the greatest media mind ever

2
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 1: to walk the planet.

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 2: Okay, sure, here's the deal. He's a true icon in

4
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 2: every sense of the word. He's loved and feared more

5
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 2: than any being.

6
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 1: To Grace's plummet, there's got a bad with a voice

7
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:23,479
Speaker 1: that sounds like very white and be got.

8
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 2: Say hey, let you with baby.

9
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 1: God himself would pay thirty nine ninety nine for a cameo.

10
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 1: Fact of the matter is you are about to embark

11
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: on a transcendent experience that can only be described as

12
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: psychological nudity.

13
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 3: This iss and this is stupotoy. Here we go jump only.

14
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 4: Billy, Mikey.

15
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 5: I have a question for both of you, all right,

16
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 5: why do we feel the need to drag the audience

17
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 5: through Dan Nitro Clark's first fantasy football season, because he's

18
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 5: about to come on again today with Mike Wright from

19
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 5: Fantasy Footballers one.

20
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 2: How dare you?

21
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,119
Speaker 5: I'd like to just start with that he hasn't sent

22
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 5: me my steroid yet, Billy, I'm mad at it.

23
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 6: I guess that makes sense.

24
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, so, I mean down.

25
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 6: We had Nitro on God Bless Football in the offseason

26
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 6: to talk to us about the American Gladiators movie that

27
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 6: was on Netflix, and we found out from Nitro that

28
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 6: he was going to be participating in fantasy football for

29
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 6: the first time. So we promised Nitro, hey, come fantasy

30
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 6: football time. We got you covered. We're gonna find for

31
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 6: you a fantasy expert to help you make your picks.

32
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 6: And we found Mike Wright, who was very excited to

33
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 6: help us. We didn't know this, but he was a

34
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 6: fan of Nitro, so he was all in on this,

35
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,080
Speaker 6: and we did it once headed into the draft, and

36
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 6: then we did like a post draft recap headed into

37
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 6: the season, I think after week one, so we found

38
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 6: out how Natra was doing and then we thought, you

39
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 6: know what, let's check in with him mid season, see

40
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 6: how things are going. And then you know, the holidays came.

41
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 6: One thing led to another, so we have them on

42
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 6: this week and we were going to have it on

43
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 6: God Bless Football and it was It was good, and

44
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 6: we didn't want to get a lot of it, and

45
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 6: we wanted to give you as much fantasy advice.

46
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 3: As it seems.

47
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 6: So surprised, Well, it's not that I sound surprised. It's

48
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,959
Speaker 6: that it's always fun to catch up with Nitro and

49
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 6: see how he's doing in fantasy it is.

50
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 2: I do.

51
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,959
Speaker 6: Somewhat wonder how do I put this nicely?

52
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 4: Where you're going here?

53
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 6: If you're wasting Mike Wright's time a little bit, let

54
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 6: me answer that for you.

55
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 4: We are, I mean, oh well, it's.

56
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:49,799
Speaker 3: Just here's the thing.

57
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 6: Mike Wright has a very successful fantasy football podcast. As

58
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 6: fantasy footballers, you can check.

59
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 4: It the most successful, Yeah, the most successful one.

60
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 6: Yes, well, because we haven't launched a fantasy football podcast

61
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 6: with Nitro yet, but we can maybe address that in

62
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 6: the interview today. Now here's the thing. When you have

63
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 6: on a fantasy football expert, it usually goes well. If

64
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 6: you have like callers call in and ask for fantasy tips,

65
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 6: just boom boom boom, rat tat tat quick questions cover

66
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 6: almost every position possible free agent pickups should be exactly right,

67
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 6: exactly right now. This segment is very specific to Nitro's team.

68
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 6: So it's fun for us because we get to hang

69
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 6: out with Nitro and Mike right. And if you have

70
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 6: Nitro's exact team, it will be very helpful for you.

71
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 6: But in the event that you don't, this may not

72
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 6: be as helpful as it possibly could be. As a segment.

73
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 2: All right?

74
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 5: Can we have Mike right on a week without Nitro

75
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 5: so we can get people ready, listeners ready, and do

76
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 5: a traditional fantasy.

77
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 4: Football segment for the playoffs?

78
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 2: Please?

79
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 4: Can we do that one time?

80
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 2: I'm not onre Mike Right would want that.

81
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll get out of here.

82
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 2: I'm kind of with Mike Ye. I don't know.

83
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 6: I will tell you this, those two guys, yesterday after

84
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 6: you left the studio, we were still there.

85
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 2: We were doing some recordings.

86
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 6: It was kind of late in the afternoon, and I

87
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 6: was recording Mystery Create and I was listing in on

88
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 6: tests for a phone line. So I think that our

89
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 6: dream of having a phone line that we can go

90
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 6: to is in the works, and we may be able

91
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 6: to do that at some point in time.

92
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 4: So this is exciting time for.

93
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 2: The season to end.

94
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 6: Uh, it'll be ready by like May. Maybe we could

95
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,919
Speaker 6: do a recap of the draft who everybody liked, But.

96
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 3: Just letting you know things.

97
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 4: C NBA playoff calls.

98
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 2: Yeah with Adam Schefter.

99
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 5: All right, so let's get to Dan and I drove

100
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 5: along and Mike Wright, listen, this is gonna not help you,

101
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 5: not help your fantasy team, but it will help Nitros.

102
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 4: What a weird thing. Let's get to it.

103
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 2: Hi, guys, how are you good?

104
00:04:59,080 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 3: How are you?

105
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 2: I'm doing fantastic, doing fantastic. I've only texted Mike once

106
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 2: since the last time we talked for some advice, so

107
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 2: it's been uh, I've been doing okay, all right, And.

108
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 5: Mike is Mike right, the Fantasy footballer is on Spotify

109
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 5: and Apple, he is with us.

110
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 4: The podcast is doing very well.

111
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:17,359
Speaker 5: It makes me wonder why metal Arc has to come

112
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:18,799
Speaker 5: up with a fantasy football podcast.

113
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm on it though, all.

114
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 2: Right, I'm on it.

115
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 4: Good Mike, I'm on it.

116
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 3: Okay, good luck.

117
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 4: You don't want the competition, do you? Oh?

118
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,239
Speaker 3: Many of many have tried, many have failed.

119
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 2: Ow. Wow, that's a confident guy there.

120
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,239
Speaker 4: Yes he is, Well, so are you, Nitro.

121
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 3: I mean it takes one to know.

122
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe it's doing. He's just saying, if you want

123
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 2: to acquire me, it's going to be expensive. That's probably

124
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 2: the play right there.

125
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 4: He's negotiating, right, Mike.

126
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 6: Has anyone ever tried to come after your fantasy football

127
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 6: crown with an American gladiator?

128
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 2: Though?

129
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 6: Because if we have Nitro's fantasy football podcast, I feel

130
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 6: like you might be in trouble if.

131
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 3: There is a fight involved, like a physical fight, yeah,

132
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 3: I'm probably gonna lose. But but other than that, we're

133
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 3: we're doing. Okay.

134
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 5: I love the idea of Nitro starting a fantasy football

135
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 5: podcast and destroy my right.

136
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 2: You have to wear spandex to get in.

137
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 4: What's that hat you're wearing, Niitro? Where are my steroids?

138
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 2: I mean okay, well the steroids are in my body, right,

139
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 2: you want to get some straw my blood? Number two?

140
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 2: This hat is San Jose State Spartans. My buddy and I.

141
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 2: I'm in Los Angeles in my college roommate who I

142
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 2: played football with at San Jose State Building, and we

143
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 2: drove from Los Angeles early Saturday morning to Vegas to

144
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 2: see my San Jose State Spartans take on the UNLV

145
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:45,799
Speaker 2: Rebels in the fabulous Raiders Allegiance Stadium. So I'm wearing

146
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 2: this hat in protests. Tou oh, okay, all right, I

147
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 2: like that You're supposed to ask what is the protest?

148
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 4: Yeah?

149
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 2: I was curious.

150
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 5: I figured, Nitro, I mean, I never have to ask.

151
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 5: I figured you would take us there yourself, because that's

152
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,359
Speaker 5: what you do. You're Dan Nitro Clark so go ahead.

153
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,719
Speaker 5: What's the protest about? What are you protesting? I'm sorry, So.

154
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 2: I'm protesting that the San Jose Spartans did not get

155
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 2: invited to the Mountain West championship game. They went and

156
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 2: beat UNLV handedly right, and they ended up with five

157
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 2: and two in conference. UNLV ended up five and two

158
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 2: in conference, and Boise ended up five and two in conference.

159
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 2: Boise beat San Jose by a touchdown. We just beat UNLV,

160
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 2: but for the championship conference game, they decided to go

161
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 2: Boise UNLV and not ask San Jose State to come.

162
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 2: So for Brent Brennan, the head coach, good man who's

163
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 2: turned the program around there, I am protesting today.

164
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 6: Mm hmm.

165
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 5: I like it, Nijroe. I like that you're protesting this.

166
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 5: You care about you care about San Jose steak, Go

167
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 5: ahead me, I'm sorry.

168
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 6: How'd you feel about Wyadeck were winning the Mountain West

169
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 6: Defensive Player of the Week this week?

170
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 2: You know, I don't have many feelings about that. Oh,

171
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 2: I don't have many feelings about that.

172
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 4: Billy Jack ask question.

173
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 3: That's just kidding.

174
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 6: We're talking about the Mountain West.

175
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 4: When now you put him in the spot where he

176
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 4: doesn't know who Wyne Eckler is.

177
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 3: It's awesome.

178
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 2: He doesn't know me.

179
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 4: And the only reason you know that is because Austin

180
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 4: just told them.

181
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 6: Well hold on, now, let's go full circle. Mike Ray,

182
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 6: how are you feeling about Wyatt Eckler? And you know,

183
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 6: not this season, but next season when he enters the NFL?

184
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 3: What do we think? Bro, I'm not he's a dB no.

185
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 3: Like I don't get into like I have. I am

186
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 3: so disconnected from college while pro is going on. But

187
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:35,439
Speaker 3: the January hits and that's January through February is like,

188
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 3: that's the crash course of who's all coming into the NFL.

189
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 3: Start ranking guys that way.

190
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 4: All right, Nigel, we'll get to your fantasy team in

191
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 4: just a second.

192
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 5: But Mike, the fantasy player this year that you were

193
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 5: that has surprised you the most and the one that

194
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 5: has disappointed you the most.

195
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:58,079
Speaker 3: Ooh, let's see the biggest I'll go with the the

196
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 3: The disappointment would be the hype and the hope that

197
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 3: Trevor Lawrence was going to take the step to become royalty.

198
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:12,199
Speaker 3: And I mean he's having a good season. It's like

199
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 3: Trevor Lawrence is kind of one of the best examples

200
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 3: of real life versus fantasy football, because real life, he's

201
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 3: having an excellent season, like the Jags are great, They're

202
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 3: going to the playoffs and everything, but the touchdowns keep

203
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 3: going to ETN except for the last couple of weeks.

204
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 3: But people were very ready to crown Lawrence as the

205
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 3: next elite, like he's gonna make a Justin Herbert type

206
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,559
Speaker 3: of elite, be maybe a forty touchdown guy, And it

207
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 3: just does not seem like we're there. And then the

208
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 3: biggest surprise of it, I can't imagine not talking about CJ. Stroud,

209
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 3: who is going to break all the rookie records. He

210
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:53,959
Speaker 3: is shattering the mold. Really for fantasy I mean you

211
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,439
Speaker 3: there's just countless numbers you can rattle off of, Like

212
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 3: a rookie quarterback has his chance of supporting a top

213
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 3: twenty four wide receiver option, it's like a five percent

214
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 3: chance or that's off the top of my head, but

215
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 3: it's it's essentially, don't count on wide receivers from a

216
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 3: rookie quarterback. Do not count on rookie wide receivers for

217
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 3: a rookie quarterback. And but but now here we are

218
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 3: with Tank Dell and CJ. Stroud and it's incredible to watch,

219
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 3: and I'm it's it will be very fun for us

220
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:31,319
Speaker 3: next year when we're like, don't draft rookie quarterbacks. It's

221
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,839
Speaker 3: not a good idea, And everyone's gonna be like, yeah,

222
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 3: well look at CJ. Stroud, look what the outlier did.

223
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,079
Speaker 3: And you you have to try and rain people in

224
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 3: you like it's a game of probabilities and tell them

225
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 3: to look at Bryce Young. I mean, yeah, yeah, exactly.

226
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 3: You You could be the Panthers right now, the cleaning house,

227
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 3: firing everybody because it looks like you got the wrong QB.

228
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 4: Mike.

229
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 6: It's interesting that you bring up like the different lenses

230
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 6: that you can view players through, so you can see

231
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,439
Speaker 6: Trevor Lawrence in reality is having a good season, but

232
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 6: fantasy is not having as good a season as you

233
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 6: would think. Who are players I guess historically that you

234
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 6: could view as like a fantasy Hall of Famer that

235
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 6: was just an average quarterback or the opposite, like like

236
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 6: someone Blake Blake Bortles also was like he always given

237
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 6: garbage time and would put out huge numbers when in reality.

238
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 3: It's like, yes, absolutely Bortles. Bortles had a season where

239
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:29,199
Speaker 3: it was incredible was like he turned into a winner

240
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 3: because you could you picked him up right before the

241
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:34,079
Speaker 3: fantasy playoffs and he just had this three game run

242
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 3: that won people championships. But it's it's guys like t

243
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 3: bow and and run. It's really rushing quarterbacks because of

244
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 3: how the scoring works. Like Justin Fields has had more

245
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 3: of a down year this year for fantasy than we

246
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:50,559
Speaker 3: had hoped for. But you had a stretch right in

247
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 3: the middle before he got hurt where great. I mean

248
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 3: he was just I mean, he wasn't winning, he wasn't

249
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 3: winning football games, but he was destroying for fantasy football.

250
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 3: And then Tim this is the exact same thing because

251
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,599
Speaker 3: he runs on the way that it scored. You just

252
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,199
Speaker 3: you soak up those rushing yards and it's delicious and

253
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 3: it's hilarious watching those guys like outproduce the the truly

254
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 3: actually elite passing quarterbacks. So it's a weird, funny game.

255
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 4: We play nitro so just so the audience is up

256
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 4: to speed.

257
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 2: Here.

258
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 5: This is your first season doing fantasy football. Mike helped

259
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:28,679
Speaker 5: you with the draft. We had you on I think

260
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 5: three or four weeks into the season. You were dominating

261
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 5: your league I'm certain you have questions. You're probably headed

262
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,559
Speaker 5: to the playoffs right now, but just fill us in here.

263
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 5: What have you done since we spoke to you last

264
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 5: how's the fantasy team?

265
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,079
Speaker 2: Fantasy is? We want to say, first of all, is

266
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 2: great for football. I was not watching as much football,

267
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 2: much to my wife's happiness, and then I got sucked

268
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 2: back into this world. And now I'm sucked back to

269
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 2: the TV Tuesday night and I'm putting my guy on

270
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,439
Speaker 2: the waivers and you know, I'm waking up at five am.

271
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,200
Speaker 2: Did I get him? Did I get him? Saturday morning?

272
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,559
Speaker 2: When the guys people dropped clear? You know, did I

273
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 2: get him? Did I get him? And?

274
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 3: Uh?

275
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:14,319
Speaker 2: You know, I've now become a fervent football fan and

276
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 2: watcher of the product again. I'm watching the Thursday night

277
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 2: Things giving games, There's Friday Night on Amazon, there's Sunday more.

278
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 2: It's been it's been very I think it's great for

279
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 2: the game. I think the challenge is that any allegiance

280
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 2: you have to a team disappears. You don't care who

281
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 2: wins as long as your guy performs. So it's been

282
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 2: a interesting dynamic. But I forgot how much I love football.

283
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:41,559
Speaker 4: Okay, and how's the team doing?

284
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 2: The team is doing? You know, I started off, as

285
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 2: you said, Gangbusters, and then I hit that lull because

286
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 2: I had Davante Adams, who just deadly. I had Yeah

287
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 2: Ridley and funny. I got rid of Ridley three weeks ago,

288
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden, it.

289
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 4: Was now a nightro You got to hold on to

290
00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 4: that guy.

291
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 2: I mean, well, like just rookie mists. Because I had

292
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,439
Speaker 2: Dak Prescott as a quarterback and he wasn't performing, so

293
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 2: I dumped him. You know, I had Burrow. I don't

294
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 2: know these things, so I dumped him. I think what

295
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 2: I would do next year is I would probably draft

296
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 2: a high quarterback, maybe in round four or five, because

297
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 2: I can see a Josh Allen. I can see a

298
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 2: guy like that who's the number one guy on Yahoo,

299
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 2: being a reliable performer, where I always under the you know,

300
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 2: the idea that you streamed quarterbacks a lot of times,

301
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 2: and I think that's hurt me. But so I'm doing well,

302
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 2: I'm eight and four. Oh wow, in her league. I've

303
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 2: I've got a bunch of bass hit guys. I got

304
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 2: a bunch of guys who hit singles. I don't have

305
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 2: that big stud You know, I don't have a McCaffrey.

306
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 2: I don't have a Austin Eckler. Right now, I've got

307
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 2: I traded for Deebo Samuel, which I think will help

308
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 2: me in the playoff. Push Mike.

309
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 4: Right, well, let's have Mike evaluate the trade. What'd you

310
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 4: give up for Deebo Samuel?

311
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 2: I don't remember who I gave. I think it was

312
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 2: Calvin Woodley. I think it was Calvin Ridley.

313
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, that I think that's that's fair. I like

314
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 3: the San Francisco schedule coming up, is it's all right?

315
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 2: Yeah? Well, I think it looks like they're incorporating DEBO

316
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 2: and CMC. It seems like they're taking a lot of

317
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 2: the snaps, whether they're producing or not. And I think

318
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 2: in the playoffs you go with the dog. As you know,

319
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 2: I noticed that, you know the other receiver who's getting

320
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 2: a lot of attention, how do you see his name?

321
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 2: A I Uke hasn't been getting as many targets lately,

322
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 2: and they've been using Deebo a little bit more on

323
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 2: the ground. So I wanted to fortify my team for

324
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 2: the playoffs. I also made a risky trade which hasn't

325
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 2: paid off yet. I got the Miami guy, Ah Shane

326
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 2: while he was on I R. I gave up Ford

327
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 2: Jerome Ford for him, right, you know, he shares the snaps, right.

328
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 2: So what I wanted to do was fortify my team

329
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 2: for the playoffs. I picked up Kyle Murray while he

330
00:15:56,080 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 2: was an I R as a possible well done as

331
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 2: a possible quarterback. So right now my team is Murray

332
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 2: a quarterback. I have Evans and Samuel as the receivers

333
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 2: because Adams has a bye week. I've got Montgomery and

334
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 2: Robinson as the running backs. I've got Hockinson as my

335
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 2: tight end, who's crushed for me this year. And I

336
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 2: think you gave me that tip, Mike, right, but he

337
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 2: has no game this week. And then I have a

338
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 2: Shane in the flex, and I have DeVante Adams where

339
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 2: she rice on the bench as well as Purty. And

340
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 2: then I have Taysom Hill. And this is a have

341
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 2: a couple questions for you, Mike, I want to get

342
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 2: your expertise on. I have Taysom Hill as my backup

343
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 2: tight end and I was thinking about playing him obviously

344
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 2: putting him in for Hawkinson who's on a bye this week.

345
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 2: I think with Mike Thomas being on the ir he

346
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 2: might get some touch and more touches, and he's got

347
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 2: this path where he's great, and then he sucks for

348
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 2: a few games. And he's just sucked for two games.

349
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:08,920
Speaker 2: So do you put Taysom in for Hockinson or do

350
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 2: you go to the waiver wire and try to get

351
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 2: Jaden Reid or Friarmuth from Pittsburgh love it?

352
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:14,719
Speaker 3: Oh?

353
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 2: Sure?

354
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,719
Speaker 3: So yeah, it's it's not just not just Thomas too.

355
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 3: You have Rashid Shahid, who they've already kind of said

356
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 3: he looks like he's gonna miss I think he has

357
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 3: a quad injury. And then Olave is in the concussion

358
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 3: protocol due to a horrifically thrown pass from Derek Carr

359
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 3: where Olave went up and high pointed it came down

360
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:39,399
Speaker 3: on his head. Uh so it should be okay for

361
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 3: for Taysom Hill. The other option, if you're just looking

362
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 3: at New Orleans, Juwan Johnson saw twenty percent of the

363
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 3: targets this past week. He's he's at a disappointing season,

364
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 3: mostly because of injury. He's more of their like their

365
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 3: actual real tight end, where Taysom Hill's just kind of

366
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 3: all over the place, But Friar Youth is someone I

367
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 3: would pick up. Uh, he gets to play Arizona and

368
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:08,640
Speaker 3: not Arizona's been okay against tight ends. I mean Tyler

369
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,479
Speaker 3: Higbee of course had the two touchdowns this week. Uh.

370
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 3: But we're only one game into the offensive change for

371
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 3: for Pittsburgh now that Matt Canada is out, and it's

372
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 3: it's hard to argue with results of four hundred plus

373
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 3: total yards where the team never hit that mark when

374
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 3: Matt Canada was the OC and Friarmth was featured in

375
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 3: the middle of the field where he should and we

376
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 3: know he's a good player. So I'm picking up Friar

377
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 3: Youth no matter what because I don't want anybody else

378
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,679
Speaker 3: to pick him up. Then deciding between him and Taysom

379
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 3: Hill for this week, that'll that'll be tough. I might.

380
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 3: I might go Friar Youth though if that's the case,

381
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 3: but I wouldn't drop Taysom Hill. I would hold on

382
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:51,119
Speaker 3: to him for the playoff run.

383
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 2: Right, I'm already the playoffs, so my bench only has

384
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:54,399
Speaker 2: we have.

385
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 4: Four players clinched already.

386
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 2: Is that what you're saying, Nitro, I'm clinched. I'm clenched,

387
00:18:58,480 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 2: so That's why when I got.

388
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 4: Think gay Chan's going to be great for you. He

389
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 4: might be your home run hitter when he comes back,

390
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,120
Speaker 4: you know, I hope this week?

391
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, well you know it's funny how after one week

392
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:09,719
Speaker 2: you know you want to jump off a bridge if

393
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 2: you don't make the right choice. I had, the guy was.

394
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 5: Charting with it just I started Romeo Dobbs instead of

395
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 5: Christian Watson, and I had been beating myself up, thank

396
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 5: you the entire Thanksgiving weekend.

397
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:22,120
Speaker 4: It's the worst. It's the worst feeling ever.

398
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 2: I mean, just punch yourself in the face for no

399
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 2: reason at all, randomly. What's that for?

400
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 3: That should be your job?

401
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 2: Trounch people in the face.

402
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 4: Makes the wrong decision, You're you're there to greet him

403
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 4: with a punch in.

404
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 2: The face with the jowstick. I think the jowstick is

405
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 2: more appropriate. So I had the chance to pick up Kyler.

406
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 2: Now Kyler was his name, Kyler from the Rams Williams

407
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:47,160
Speaker 2: oh kyn Kyron Kyron Williams or Dashane. They were both

408
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 2: on the IR And then I picked the Shane. My

409
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,680
Speaker 2: buddy was willing to trade and I picked a Shane instead.

410
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 2: And after last week, I was like, oh my god,

411
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 2: did I get the wrong guy. But you know, Stuket

412
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,359
Speaker 2: hopefully Stu like you're saying that it comes in and

413
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 2: I think, you know, I've got two decent running backs.

414
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:06,159
Speaker 2: I've got Montgomery and I've got Robinson in Atlanta, So

415
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 2: he doesn't need to be the superstar. Yeah, I can

416
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 2: put him in the flex right if I need him.

417
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 2: So just to go back, you're saying, Mike Wright to

418
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 2: pick up friar Mouth. That's an interesting name, and so

419
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:26,879
Speaker 2: do I drop I'm not dropping Adams. I'm not do

420
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 2: I drop Rashie Rice or do I drop Party?

421
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 3: I think at this point, oh, that's tough because if

422
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 3: you're riding with Kyler Murray in brock Purty brock Purty

423
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 3: has I'm looking it up right now. According to our Metrics,

424
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 3: the fifth best remaining schedule. His next three games are

425
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 3: very positive. But Week sixteen is Baltimore. You're not going

426
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 3: to want to play him then. And then Championship week

427
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 3: is at Washington, which that is delightful. Yeah, I mean yeah,

428
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 3: having the small bench is that can be that can

429
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 3: be tough making the moves because I don't want to

430
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 3: drop any of those plates.

431
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 5: Mike, I would say, if you have Taysom Hill just

432
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 5: playing for a week, he's already clinched the playoffs.

433
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 3: You know, right, Yeah, I'm just I'm thinking in my

434
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 3: brain of like the deeper benches of like, I do

435
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 3: not want my opponents going into the playoffs with friarm

436
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:25,119
Speaker 3: youth if they actually have figured it out, Like Brian

437
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 3: Ruth's not out of nowhere. I mean, he had an

438
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,640
Speaker 3: awesome rookie year and then he's just he's been hurt

439
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 3: all year, so he hasn't been able to get anything going.

440
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I think on my receiver coll with Evans,

441
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 2: Samuel and Adams, I think I'm okay. I don't think

442
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:44,160
Speaker 2: Rashi or Rice.

443
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,159
Speaker 5: Because play on your team. You're not gonna start them,

444
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,920
Speaker 5: so you might as well wave them right right.

445
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 3: I mean, you're at You're at the end. You're at

446
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 3: the point where you just you need to have someone

447
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 3: you know you can rely on should an unfortunate injury

448
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 3: pop up, as they have. I've just been destroying the

449
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:04,159
Speaker 3: NFL and fantasy this year.

450
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,160
Speaker 2: So let me let me ask this question, since again

451
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 2: this is my first year of playing. Just a clarification,

452
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 2: you can if you get a guy injured. You can

453
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 2: go on the waiver wire and pick up a receiver

454
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 2: in the playoffs. Is that correct?

455
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, as long as your settings are normal. There are

456
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,640
Speaker 3: like fringe leagues where they at the playoffs will lock

457
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:25,639
Speaker 3: the waiver wire, but most general leagues, yes, you can

458
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 3: up until championship kickoff, you can pick up players.

459
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 2: Okay, that makes sense. Yeah, So to final verdict, do

460
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 2: I drop hint Rice to go take a swing at

461
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 2: Friarmuth with Pittsburgh This so.

462
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 3: This is where you got to go do your homework

463
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 3: of look at the other teams that have clinched or

464
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,479
Speaker 3: that are you like, that's my main competition. Go see

465
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 3: who their tight end is because if it's someone who

466
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 3: looks like youth, would be what we call them the

467
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 3: youth on our show. And it's it's really fun because

468
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 3: you say the youth got louth. It's just it's it's

469
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 3: a really good time when he's on your team.

470
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 2: I just want to say, fantasy guys know how to party.

471
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:09,879
Speaker 3: Our show is just full of nonsense.

472
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 2: Gladiator is partying.

473
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 3: But it's that's what I would do. Like, look and

474
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,880
Speaker 3: see if any of your competition will get an upgrade

475
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 3: if they pick up friar youth and then I would

476
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 3: then I guess I would drop Rice to pick him up.

477
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 3: But it's that's a Those are borderline calls right there.

478
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 2: Real tough, okay. And then who would you play this week?

479
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 2: Would you play a quarterback? Would you play Murray at

480
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:44,399
Speaker 2: Pitt or would you play Party at Philly?

481
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,399
Speaker 3: I think I would go with I'd probably go with Party.

482
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 3: Philadelphia is a Now you got a strange real life

483
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:58,879
Speaker 3: fantasy team because the Eagles are cruising, They're on their

484
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,640
Speaker 3: way to the you know the boy another playoff run.

485
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 3: And yet they are a team that we target with

486
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 3: our quarterbacks and our wide receivers, so they just they

487
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,959
Speaker 3: are giving up tons and tons of points. I mean,

488
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:14,920
Speaker 3: like even Sam Howell, I think his best game of

489
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:18,679
Speaker 3: the seasons against Philadelphia. So I leen Perdy and Kyler

490
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 3: has We're Arizona Boys, so we were really excited for

491
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 3: Kyler to come back. He has not got the rust

492
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:29,359
Speaker 3: off yet. He runs, so he's good for he can

493
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,879
Speaker 3: be good for fantasy football. But I leen going with Purdy.

494
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 3: And then you have Rock Purdy and Deebo Samuel, which

495
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:39,639
Speaker 3: is the stack that people like to go for in

496
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,640
Speaker 3: fantasy football. Just sque because when you have the quarterback

497
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 3: and the pass catcher, your upside is huge. Like if

498
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:50,120
Speaker 3: Deebo gets two touchdowns, I mean then you're just you've

499
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 3: won essentially.

500
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,160
Speaker 2: Well, that's interesting strategy because I didn't know in fantasy

501
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,400
Speaker 2: if it's having two to three guys on the same

502
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 2: roster was a good idea. It felt like would be

503
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,880
Speaker 2: a bad idea because if one of the guys tanks,

504
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 2: then you're you're you know, you're or if the team tanks,

505
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,400
Speaker 2: then sure you're definitely losing that week.

506
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, that that is built into it. But it's the

507
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 3: when when you're especially like in your playoffs and everything,

508
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 3: you have to go for upside because it does like

509
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 3: you just you want to swing for as many points

510
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 3: as you can, and often stacking is a strategy that

511
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 3: people will.

512
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:31,120
Speaker 2: Go to good to know. All right, I'm gonna go perty,

513
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 2: I'm taking all your recommendations. I'm gonna take a swing

514
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 2: at the mouth. The mouth, yes, the moth. I'm gonna

515
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 2: take a swing at the mouth and put up you know, look,

516
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 2: these guys seem pretty smart my leg. I'm sure someone's

517
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 2: going to take a swing on that as well. And

518
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 2: if I end up with you know, having to play

519
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 2: taste them for a week. Like stew Gott said, then

520
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 2: you know it is And again, I don't have to

521
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 2: win this week if I don't talk to you before

522
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:56,159
Speaker 2: the you know, we should do this again before the

523
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 2: playoffs so I can get that.

524
00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 4: We'll do it every week. Listen as long as you go,

525
00:25:59,359 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 4: we'll go.

526
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:00,200
Speaker 3: How about that?

527
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 4: Okay, perfect? That makes sense, Mike, you get with that.

528
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 4: I'm sorry I committed your time. I shouldn't have done that.

529
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 3: How good I should be around the rest of the year.

530
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:12,720

Speaker 2: I mean right, we're speaking about the move. We're talking

538
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 2: about the move you gave Mike great ship a minute ago.

539
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 4: You're going to talk about wheat and grain.

540
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,159
Speaker 2: Well, no, no, I go talk about my experience in

541
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,680
Speaker 2: American Gladiators to talk about motivation. I talk about I'm

542
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,160
Speaker 2: not a speaker who goes and you know, speaks about

543
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 2: the Five Steps to business. I go and speak more

544
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 2: about motivation, have real life conversations and talk about topics

545
00:26:58,280 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 2: like that. So I speak a lot and it just

546
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 2: happens to be. I'm going to Kentucky on Monday and Tuesday.

547
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 5: Okay, Mike, Right, anything coming up, playoff special, anything coming

548
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 5: up here on the Fantasy Footballers.

549
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 3: No, just sticking with with the podcast and then the

550
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 3: reminder like we we're a year round, so I mean

551
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 3: like once January hits, it'll be talking about the rookies

552
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,359
Speaker 3: and free agency and then the draft, and before you

553
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 3: know it, then you're in the twenty twenty four season.

554
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 2: Man.

555
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:27,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, it flies by, It really does. We appreciate by Mike.

556
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 5: By the way, good idea, Billy had a good idea.

557
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 5: If you can come up next time we speak to you,

558
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:34,679
Speaker 5: your all time fantasy football team, not necessarily the all

559
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 5: time NFL team, just your all time fantasy football team.

560
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 4: I love that.

561
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 3: Okay, I'll give you some thought.

562
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, what you guys are saying, I'll close with this,

563
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 2: you know, makes a lot of sense because when we

564
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 2: first started talking, Mike, I was saying, oh, you know Kittle,

565
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 2: great tight end San Francisco, and you're like, no, no, no, no, no, no,

566
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 2: great tight end, but not a great fantasy football player.

567
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 2: And because of that, I didn't draft him, and I

568
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 2: got you know, Hawk from Minnesota and he's been killing it.

569
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 2: So I thank you for that advice.

570
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 3: Hey, I mean it's that's the thing with Kittle is

571
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 3: he has these he has games because he's you know,

572
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:08,360
Speaker 3: he had what like three in a row where he's

573
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:12,239
Speaker 3: he dominates, But when San Francisco doesn't need him, they

574
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:13,160
Speaker 3: don't use him at all.

575
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 5: Right, yep, well, now now go get the mooth. Okay, Nitro,

576
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 5: we love you, We will talk to you. What is

577
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 5: your playoffs start in a couple of weeks?

578
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 2: I think the normals jahoo? So I think I have

579
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 2: two more weeks and we get to the playoffs.

580
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:28,920
Speaker 4: Okay?

581
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 2: So? And is it one versus six? Is how they

582
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,680
Speaker 2: normally go? Two versus five, three verses four?

583
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 3: Yes? And yeah, unless you have a bye week, you

584
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 3: might you might need to win. You might want to

585
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 3: check and make sure that there's bye weeks or not.

586
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 2: No, No, I don't need to I checked. I love

587
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 2: and I spent too many hours on this Mike right, Literally,

588
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 2: I spend hours just staring at my screen and reading

589
