🎉 150 Eliminators For Me, 7 Randomizers For Ian

The Best Ball Bash episode features Pete hosting a live fantasy football streaming event where YouTube members join him for drafts. The show highlights several contests, primarily the Eliminator and Badge Bros Brawl, with the goal of filling entries and winning a $2 million prize. The first guest, Rambis, drafts an Eliminator team, discussing strategies like avoiding certain running backs, managing bye weeks, and using late-round quarterback picks. They select players like Bijan Robinson, George Pickens, and Colston Loveland, emphasizing the importance of structure over individual player takes. The second guest, Marilyn, shares her unique approach of using ChatGPT to create detailed draft sheets and track bye weeks, which helps her compete against her rival Nathaniel. She drafts a weekly winners team, focusing on running back depth and stacking quarterbacks like Justin Herbert with wide receivers. The final guest, Alex W, drafts a Badge Bros Brawl team, discussing his AI consulting career and his preference for elite tight ends like Trey McBride. He selects players like Bijan Robinson, Lamar Jackson, and Terry McLaurin, aiming for skinny stacks to maximize upside. Throughout the stream, Pete interacts with the chat, promotes contests, and manages technical issues. The episode concludes with plans for upcoming drafts, including the Randomizer Draft with Ian Harditz, and highlights the community-driven nature of the event.

Welcome to the Best Ball Bash. We are throwing a party. One of you guys in the chat will be hopping on stream to draft. And then we will split the $2 million prize. We are in the 2020 Honda Civic. I think we got to lock him up. You're going to be able to get us Jalen Noel to fall by staring them down in the eye right now. That's exactly what I'm trying to do, Pete. Lock him up. That's my kind of guy. I am going to need a howl from you. Hopefully none of my neighbors mind. Oh, this is going to be my life. This is so much fun. All right. How are we doing? Looks like I need to make a new scene here. I was messing around with my various stream yard settings. But why I get this sorted. Let's get the hashtags flowing in the chat here. You know what I need. It's join the Bash. And we will get one of you guys up here to draft an Eliminator team with me. We have a bunch of contests that are getting close to filling the big Elim. The regular Elim weekly winners is not too far behind here. All right. Am I going to be able to do this overlay stuff on the fly? Come on. Come on. All right. That's going to have to do for now. There we go. All right. Bear with me here, guys. What are we up to? 19 entries here for the Bash. Hope you guys are all having a good afternoon. All right. I think we should be able to work with this. We are tech lording on the fly here. All right. Is that going to be good? Bash. Let's see. All right. We're going to try that. We're going to work on this here. How are we doing? How are we doing? We got some new members here. We got Len Keith. We got Jake. Uh-oh. Jake. If Jake gets on, I know what he's going to make me do. He's going to make me draft. He's going to make me draft running backs. Always in my chat making sure that I'm getting enough running backs, which I always appreciate here. 20 entries right now. We'll let a few more trickle in as I wrap up my tech lording here. Hashtag join the Bash. Wow. Rambis in the house. Rain day means Rambi attempting to bash. You love to hear that. What's up, Rambis? What's up, crushes? Boshing. Look at all of this. Join the Bash. Join the Bash. Join the Bash. Disbanded. I would love to meet disbanded. Do you guys think he just talks in little periods in binary code? Yeah. Do you guys think he just talks in binary code? Yeah. Every time I log into my YouTube studio to see comments, there's always just a dot from disbanded. Honestly, a pretty strong personal brand. Pretty strong personal brand there. All right. This overlay is driving me crazy right now, but I'm just going to have to let it go. I'm going to have to let it go. All right. Let's spin here because I want to get this rolling. I want to sneak in three drafts today, two eliminators and a badger. Badge Bros Brawl before Ian joins us. Good luck to everybody on the wheel. Who is it going to be? Who's getting slow rolled? Oh, my God. It is Rambis. Wow. Wow. This guy. This guy, Rambis. You'll love to see it. You absolutely love to see it. Rainy day, Rambis. All right, Rambis. Let's see. Where am I going to DM you this? Twitter? Twitter? All right. Let's do it. Email? Okay. All right. I'll email. Let's find you here. If I can remember what your email is. Oh, yeah. Because you have your real name and it always. Your email, your name, and your username are all different. But I just sent it to you. I won't dox you, Rambis. The email is sent. And Rambis is an eliminator guy. I am a little scared where he's going to make me take gentee here. But you know, it is what it is. Shipperlytics runs so good. Unbelievable. Yeah, we better see this Chromebook in action. I swear to God. I mean, I was confused because he did the stream with cups and squares on Friday. And I'm pretty sure he was at the tech team's house. I guess I'll ask him here in a second. I'm like, why are you at the tech team's house? I thought we were past that. I thought the whole point of me giving you a Chromebook was you didn't have to go to your next door neighbor's house to stream fantasy drafts. Yeah, let's check these fill rates here. So Eliminator right now is at 95.1%. And we know things are going to accelerate when we get to. the very end here. So if you are holding out, we don't even have any more slow. No, we do still have some slow drafts left. So you can get in the slow drafts if you want. Weekly winners. is at 80%. So you got a little bit of time there. Big Eliminator. is at 90%. So I would expect to see the Eliminators both go here pretty soon. Badgero's Brawl. is at 83%. It is wild too, because we still have a lot of drafting to do. I mean, this year, the entire schedule is essentially moved back a week from what we're used to. Normally, you know, everything kicks off the week after Labor Day. Now we have an additional week there. We're probably going to have an influx of new contests late in August, I would think. All right, Rambus, let's speed it up, brother. Let's speed it up. Here he is. Here he is. I'm going to go ahead and get in this draft. Kurt Rambus, welcome to the stream, brother. What's up, Pete? How you been, bud? Long time no talk. Yeah, long time, buddy. I mean, you're just on streams left and right. Did I see you were chopping it up with Goofy and Centex last night? You could call it chopping. I don't know. Centex came in with a bulletproof vest on. So, yeah, I mean, if we. We chopped. We did three drafts somehow. Yeah, got a little tense. We had points, but, you know, yeah, we were there. It was fun-ish. How do you think Centex would have done if he was a contestant on So You Think You Can Tout? Probably would have got canceled pretty quickly based on some things he said. He's, you know, he says some stuff. You never know. But, yeah, he probably would have gotten somewhere. You might have had to bleep him out a few times, but, you know, it was all right. What were you. What were you. What were you guys' biggest disagreements last night? Well, just the fact that he says every pick anyone else makes that isn't his pick is ass and then can't back it up with any data whatsoever. And then I'm like, all right, so why do you like this guy? He's like, I don't have to tell you that. That's secret intel. Just watch how they move up the board. And I'm like, okay, well, that doesn't really help anyone. You know, what do you do? All right, well, Ravis, we're going to be on the clock at 102. You're not going to make me take Jenty over Bijan, dude. No, we can take Bijan. All right, look at this. I hate the two spot, honestly, just because I don't like the running backs that come back at the 2-3 turn unless I'm pulling somebody up. So I end up with two wide receivers at rounds two and three almost every time. And then I'm a little behind at running back because when the 4-5 turn comes around, Skadaboo, Montgomery, them are all gone, too. So you're just kind of. You're spraying and praying at running back every time you're in, like, the two hole unless you reach. How many eliminators are you going to get to here as this bad boy almost fills up? I'm at 120, but if I count. 50% equity stream drafts. I've got 11 with Jury. I got a couple with Chad Candles. I got with a bunch of people. I got some stream. So if I add my stream drafts with my actual account drafts, I maxed it mentally, so. Wait, you have 11 co-drafts with Jerry? I didn't know you were syncing up with Jerry so much. Yeah, I crash his streams pretty often. It's like once a week, I'll just hop on, type in the chat, and then he's like, yeah, just come on, you know. Me and Jerry have a good time. We draft really good teams together. That reminds me, I did book Jerry. Jerry's going to come on and do Best Ball Breakfast with me next Wednesday. So excited to draft with Jerry then. So, Rambis, you are everywhere appearing on streams. When are you going to get back to streaming on your channel a little bit? We're getting there. I'm concerned. I don't have the StreamYard membership or whatever, so I don't know if I need that to share. The screen sharing stuff worries me. The one time I did it on my channel was at the text team's house, and he had the whole thing set up. So, like, he just told me where to click and stuff, but I'm just a little worried on the Chromebook. But I'm going to give it a shot soon, just because I need to promote my own channel a little, you know. You do, man. You need to get in a rhythm. You need to establish a night or two a week where Rambis is going to be streaming. You can do everything with a non-paid StreamYard plan, if I recall correctly. You just have the little watermark up there, but you don't need to have the paid plan to get started. Okay. All right. That's good intel. Yeah. I want to shout out Jerry one more time, though. He's got his 500 sub stream coming up on Sunday. I'm not going to be on there because I'm going to be out of town with the family, but it starts at noon central time. And I think he's going for nine hours. So I just want to shout out. Yeah. Check that out. The Jerry 500 sub stream. Do you want to address the chat? They think you're a fraud because you caved on Jenty at 102. I just bullied you off of your guy. Do you want to address the chat on this? 41% Ashton Jenty in the Eliminator. I'm not a fraud. Let's get over it. You got to mix it up a little bit, bud. All right. There we go. There we go. Although you were pretty devastated in that big dog draft you did with Squares. That Cups took you off of him. You know, Squares, he's like the Grim Reaper to any best ball team. Like something is going to go wrong if he's anywhere near the area. Like, oh, magically there's tech issues and we can't get Jenty 101 with Squares in the room. Weird. Have you ever seen Vegas Vacation where Chevy Chase is playing blackjack? It's like Squares walked behind you on a draft lobby. He's the cooler? Yeah. It's unbelievable. All right. All right. Let's see what we're going to cook with here, Rambus. Started with Bijan. Like you said, running backs get pretty wiped out here. Do you pull up Brees Hall to this spot? No, I don't like Brees Hall like this year. That's why I'm saying I don't like any of these running backs. Like Javante Brees, I'm not in on it. And then A.J. Brown and London have the same buy as Bijan too, and I don't like that either. So what I've been doing is I've been doing like Pickens Neighbors, that kind of thing a lot. Yeah. Yeah, I like that. I mean, I feel like you want to grab Pickens here. You want to grab Javante Brees Hall here first? Yeah. But in general, we're of the opinion that Neighbors is playing week one at this point, right? Yes, I'm of that opinion. Then he's still a value at this price because he was going early second. Yeah, I agree. And like my early portfolio with Eliminator, I do not have many neighbor shares at all. So I'm happy to get some elite neighbors. We'll see what Jake does here. He grabs Jeremiah Love. So should we grab? Do we have neighbors start Bijan, Pickens, Neighbors? I like that. Yeah, grab it. All right. Yeah, no. And I was really light on him too after seeing the charity game. Like I didn't touch him for Eliminator because we're thinking, oh, crap, he could be on pop. You know, that's a problem. But now it looks like he's playing week one, but I was at 2%. I'm all the way up to 14 now. I've been clicking them heavily. I don't want to be behind there. Yeah. So what else is good? You said you have a rain day, which means no bugs can be killed. Yeah, we just do the outside of the houses. Yeah. Um, but no, the fantasy, the streamer league, it got announced today, Pete. I don't know if you knew the commission. Is this the squib league? Yeah, we got it. They're dropping it bit by bit on the day, but there's some exciting stuff. It's not going to be like any other fantasy football league. Cause there's, there's different rules. There's power ups. There's all this different stuff and there's going to be, I mean, we're actually going to have to put a little time into this. Like, cause there are going to be, there's a lot of people in here. A lot of people from the show, some people that weren't. From the show, but there, there's a lot of collab stuff going to be going on. So love it. Shout that out a little. So, yeah, I'm excited to, uh, I'm excited to follow along here. Uh, and now you can get, you can get redemption. You know, you were, you were gone too soon. Did you, did you have any words for Alex cups, your, your partner, your ship politics partner, taking the whole contest down? How did you feel when you saw that? Man, I called them and I had the Alexa. I had it on speaker and I was just bumping pump, pump, pump. It up like we did in our video. Initially I was just, I was hyping them. I, I had to, I had to talk to him a bit for that, but no, man, it it's, it's great. I'm very happy for him and I'm happy for squares getting the, the jobs too, and stop and PPR Tyler. Everybody's getting jobs out here. Besides Rambi. It's okay though. We'll get there eventually. Maybe. Well, Rambis, I think you, all of your run good is getting on all of these streams here. I mean, you just, you pop up with a rain day and just immediately bank the bash experience. I think lady. Luck is just forever on your side. I get that rain day luck. Apparently, man, I'm two for two on rain days, trying to get on here. It's it's fun. That's good stuff, man. What, uh, what else do you got on tap this summer? Anything else for, for August or just drafting teams? Oh, I'm just going to draft, you know, I'll try some puppies. I've only got three BBMs. I'd like to get a few more, you know, I'd like to get it up to at least 10, just so I have that, that prey and dream, you know, shipping 2 million, but no, I'm just working a lot, honestly, uh, flag football starts. Uh, tonight is the equipment pickup, so yeah, I'll take Brax over there. We'll go pick up his helmet and his shoulder pads. Fifth grade. You finally get the helmet. Okay. I thought you meant like a men's league, like you're playing flag football. This is your kid. Okay. No, I'm coaching it. I'm coaching my fifth grader and my third graders teams and they're in different teams. So this is going to have the, we're going to have to time slot things with the practices and whatnot, but I'll make it work. So, all right, we're going to pick at the four or five turn, um, by ADP, we do have some running backs coming back here. Scatabo, Judkins, Bucky, your guy, Loveland is here. T Higgins falling. Um, who's catching your eye at four seven or four. Scataboo for sure. If he's there, he's gone. No, he's there. No, he's gone now. Yeah. Uh, who are the other running backs is Swift still there? I've been clicking Swift is gone. It'd be Judkins week 11, the same as Bijan Bucky week. 10 is probably our best bet there. Yeah. I think we just got to eat our vegetables. And take Bucky here. Let's go Bucky and Bijan the two late buys. And then yeah, it's either, it gets really dicey. Now at running back in this range, it's a Pendo price where we go. Loveland if he's there, Loveland at 50, he should be here. How are you handling the burden stuff? I was light on burden anyways, just cause I click Loveland at a 30% clip. I am 30% Loveland now, but, um, he goes about the same ranges. I'm like, I'm going to go with Loveland. I'm going to go with Loveland. with a hammy so we got to keep tabs on that um i don't know if we want to go quarterback here if you're looking at running backs i was just going to say dowdle's kind of the end of a tier here yeah i'm dowdle let's grab dowdle here we get him as our third running back and then yeah metcalf's a good pick a week nine by there go double stealers here at this turn yeah i like it yeah coming around we're making it work it's like your running back room is never like your favorite running back room on this side if you don't like breeze hall and if you don't like giovante you got to kind of just take what the the you know the draft board gives you yeah and it's it's just only getting like the trevion henderson stuff continues to be bearish so remandre is pushing up let me grab us metcalf here um obviously jonathan brooks is moving up uh they're just uh it's going to be a bloodbath in this draft room here we got go easy cards wants to know who is your new favorite stream am i lagging or is it you man i think you're lagging a little bit for me although the chat could let us know your your video just froze for a sec but you're back now my new favorite streamer yeah who's your new favorite okay yeah i was gonna say it was coming in really crappy my new favorite streamer um hmm i'd say i'd say tony squares you know i i like i like just for the entertainment value i like squares a lot i just have you been watching his his team previews no but you know i just i was with him last friday that was a very entertaining stream i think the three of you should make that a uh a recurring or semi-recurring show it was a really good time i had a lot of fun on that even though i hated the first team and i still do i made cups send me the screenshot of it because i forgot it and i was like god i shouldn't even look again i i don't know why i just i don't like it i'm worried about the lions offense you know with the the center going down and going to be gone for a month jared goff's whole thing is you know he has to have a ton of pass protection because he's a statue he's really good when he has time but what if he doesn't have time then we got problems you know another thing i'm concerned about is uh tunzel being out at left tackle for the commanders that's a concern for me because i don't know if he's going to be able to do that i don't know for jayden daniels who just runs constantly and like he's already running for his life you'd rather not have a defensive ending on him immediately like that that could really hurt that offense it's just some things i look at yeah i mean it's not the best thing in the world i mean we just had now similar thing with the commanders and tunzel and stuff i think it you know it caps maybe the the uber ceiling for for some of those guys i don't think it's necessarily the end of the world especially like you think about the lions i don't think their defense is going to be quite as good as the lions i don't think their defense is going to be quite as good as the lions i think they're going to have to throw a ton a lot of negative game scripts that that could ultimately be pretty good for for fantasy if they just have some increased play volume so i'm not quite spooked on them yet but uh i hear you i hear you um bijan bucky rico pickens neighbors metcalf loveland here trying to build a shipper with rambi are you a slow draft guy do you do any slow drafts or all fast all fast it's the only way to do it a man of principle i like that i don't want to be waking up at like two in the morning like get on notification and i need to like make a pick and i'd rather not get auto i'd like to take my time and you know put out the best team i can put out every time and i'm in the zone while i'm drafting i don't like having a little time off you know and each team's different you also it's like you'd almost have to look back at the whole team and just kind of strategize a certain way and yeah do we got i think that's shady advice in here yeah what uh what do you know about a man about that man shady advice he knows ball i know that much chess liam ended up in an eliminator draft with centex and me last night and goofy uh he i don't know i think i think it was by coincidence but all of a sudden centex freaked out because checks chess liam was in there centex really does not like chess liam he thinks he's scared does centex like anyone himself centex likes himself that's a it's about it we almost up here yeah let's just check the the running back board here manung guy gainwell jones um gainwell although no we probably don't want to go double bucks i mean i'd rather get manung guy yeah you want to get manung guy that's another part of that bears offense and i get it he's the same by his bucky but we can fill it in with some other guys but what what if swift goes down you know manung guy was already getting some of these carries last year before he got hurt he's yeah he can he could be a home run in reality then we're going to need a receiver probably michael wilson still your guy yeah but i click other guys too i wouldn't mind sutton i'd rather have sutton here i think yeah get another uh different buy here yeah sutton at pick 98 seems fine to me yeah because i don't want pickens at 14 and then uh wilson at 14 on the same team right now but no this is coming around real good pete you like this team don't you i do yeah this is uh i like this structure i i don't mind i mean if we were in the spot where breeze hall fell i would be fine with him i also think i like uh jeremiah love more than you but other than that uh i like these selections that we've made here uh cole says i was in your eliminator earlier i did the rare i had three more eliminators to go and i'm like it's gonna fill today and i'm looking at my schedule and i knew i had to go for a run so i did a cardio club eliminator draft just raw dog in that one on my phone and i'm like i'm gonna fill today and i'm i know sacrilegious was in that draft too and i was just trying not to fuck it up too much um cole what percentage is it at what's that what percentage is it at it's it's at like 98 it's gonna fall crap i'm gonna have to just draft the limbs all day then shit 95 but yeah it's you're gonna need to you're gonna by the end of by we'll have till midnight probably unless they just fill it up in snows i i haven't had a brew yet i didn't have any at the house and i like just woke up at 10 it was a late night with goofy and centex last night the uh so you're is this one of your rare what is the perfect amount of beers to drink while streaming from the rambus perspective it depends how long the stream is if it's a two-hour stream like six feels right dude that takes that takes me back to my pre-kid days you know we we used to do the ship chasing streams that night and i was always throwing back modellos i i think you're about right a sixer for two plus hour stream that's that's the sweet spot yeah but within centex and goofy if i'm on with them it's more like 10 you gotta you're like it's it's like ibuprofen for alcoholics you know goofy was yawning by the end goofy was over it at the by the end of that stream check it out though if uh whoever wants to check it out like it is entertaining you know there's one thing it will be is entertaining but you know is what incredible all right so here's the squad so far through nine rounds and in a few rounds we'll do another spin here to see who's going to hop on after rambus but we got uh bijan george pickens malik namers bucky irving colson loveland rico dowdle dk metcalf kyle menungai and courtland sutton here you feel regretting not taking a i'm regretting not taking a quarterback in the sutton spot we just got left in the dark we should have grabbed my homes probably there yeah let's check the board quarterback we're looking at i don't know stafford golf love mayfield shotter and i'm looking at the block we probably should double tap it here yeah we're gonna double tap here we kind of have to it's okay we're we're pretty i mean we're looking real good at running back wide receiver i mean tight end we got loveland we're sitting okay yeah yeah i mean the loveland you know he wasn't a a premium target for me in the fourth in the eliminator but you couple that with the burden stuff and getting him in the fifth there uh i like that one for sure uh all right we do have some more quarterbacks coming off the board uh bo nicks and jordan love in round 10 my guy george kittle at 115 let's survey the board here looking at our bi-weeks we want to be conscious of week 10 we have four week 10 buys right now with chicago denver and tampa bay um who do you like in this range here we are on deck i i don't want to if we can avoid a week 11 it'd be great because the late week 11 quarterbacks there's a ton of them and those are the ones we're going to be looking at for our third so well i might have to convince you on golf even though you don't like that i'm okay with golf i'm okay with that he's gonna chuck he's gonna yeah he's still gonna throw the ball he's gonna be fine yeah so you're mentioning yeah week 11 darn old uh who else are you referencing i don't see uh oh we're not gonna get that late are we bro we might and i i take 20th round quarterbacks like as a third i'm not saying as a second i'm talking as a third like we're gonna take one here but as our third it's always week 11 so like the darnold's a problem you know the two is a problem i'm good with shuck do you like shuck here at uh yeah the shuck team and he plays the lions week one too so we got both the week one uh lions uh play the saints week one in the dome so getting through week one shouldn't be a problem one of these two quarterbacks is gonna be nice yeah uh here's a question from cole i'll toss this to you ramby do you care about stacking in the eliminator not as much as others because this is a game where you're going to have to This is, it's just a one B one every week after week one. Like what, what's it? I mean, sure. They're coming along for the ride, but if you got, so you got your. Burrow and your Chase stack. Well, they put up a three that week. Kind of a problem for Burrow and Chase. You know, it's good to just mix it up a little bit and eliminate. The main thing is pay attention to your buys. And a lot of times people get into trouble with the week 11 wide receiver buys with London, with the A.J. Brown, and then all of a sudden you come back and then middle wide receivers is a lot of week 11s, the Matthew Goldens, you know, all that. Just pay attention to it. But you only got one day to pay attention now. T-Guard, this is an eliminator, brother. Although, yes, we'll be very excited about the Atlanta-New Orleans correlation if we make the three-seat final where we will have locked in $76,000. We will be looking at that stack. We'd be pretty happy. Then for sure. Yeah. Oh, man, I don't know. So Watson over Shadur in this contest. I do agree with the premise that Watson will probably start week one, but this could be like a two-week leash for Watson. No, Shadur is going to be taken over by week three, probably the latest. And our first buy is week six. Shadur would be in by then. So, you know, we'd take him there. Are you doing it? Do you do a lot of Mendoza with your guy, Jenty? Yeah. Yeah. 22% Mendoza. Even in eliminator, I still do it because he's my quarterback three every time. You know. Yeah. I assume he's going to be in by then. But I guess Cousins, I guess the offense has been looking real good in camp. And is it really that surprising adding Linderbaum and Clint Kubiak and Jenty now in his sophomore year? Or Bowers, you know, in his sophomore year? And, you know, Naylor's there now. Who knows? That might be something. I was kind of surprised they haven't scooped anyone. And now I kind of just don't think they will. Like, I could see Keenan Allen going to the Colts or something. But the Raiders didn't get D-ball. They didn't get Diggs. Like, I guess that makes the guy they signed for whatever ridiculous price Jalen Naylor clickable. I don't know. I wonder what the number is, the amount of money the Raiders would have to give Keenan Allen, to coax him to go there. We'd probably have to have an extra zero to whatever the Colts would offer him. But, yeah, I don't think they're going to do anything. We're basically out of these free agent wide receivers at this point. I mean, it's like, unless Tyreek Hill comes back from the dead, it's just him and Keenan at this point. And even if he does, if he plays, it's going to be late in the season. That was a catastrophic injury he suffered. It's not like he's coming back anytime soon. Go easy cards. Are you going to? I'm going to start clicking Waller. What was your reaction to the Darren Waller news signing with the Panthers here? Meh. Yeah. Maybe now you can mix him in in the 20th or the 18th round. Whatever. You know. I'm not that huge on it. I mean, he's, isn't he old? You know, he was a rapper at one point. You know. He was decent last year, though, for the Dolphins, wasn't he? Yeah. I mean, it's just like, at this stage, I mean, how many? It's like playing fucking whack-a-mole with this guy. Every time you think you're done, he pops back up again. I, I don't know. He was able to be kind of like the feature part of that offense. And he filled like a very clear void. I don't know. Like Bryce has never, you know, peppered his tight end with targets. It doesn't seem like quite as juicy of a situation as it was last year. All right. We're on the clock. We do have wide receivers here. Running back. You want to get Ward? Yeah. Yeah. Now we don't have to deal with this stuff. Now we're done at quarterback. We don't have to deal with the other crap. These are three decent quarterbacks. I'm happy with that. Yeah. We got golf. Shuck. Ward. Um, the running back stuff is Spears, Bigsby, Lloyd, wide receiver, Shahid, Stribling, Naylor, Boston, tight end, Chig, strange. I'm cool with Spears. Get a couple, uh, a little cam Ward correlation there on the cheap. Yeah. So we got two week, 10, two week, nine buys. And a week 11 by a running back. That's not that bad. We're still going to have three every time as long as, you know, injuries. And we're going to probably take one, one more running back too, before this is all said and done. Yeah. So let's go back to this real quick. Cole's talking about these quarterbacks that are maybe more on the menu in eliminator, like cousins over Mendoza. So I think you got to ask yourself, Cole, like the guys that I think you have 10 plus weeks with, like, if we're going to talk Brissette, um, like I'm on board with that. Cause I think you can get 10 plus weeks from him in this contest. And that's very valuable. I mean, the, the hook for cousins, like most markets are, are having that four to five games before Mendoza takes over cousins for four to five games does not do it for me in this contest. Like that feels like a bad pick. I think you need a runway of 10 plus games for them to be viable, unless you're just really hurting at quarterback. Like you fully punt it and you need to do it. But I think the same thing with Watson, like what is the expectation for how many games you could get there? Five games, even in this format feels like a waste. It's a wasted pick to me. Right? Like, are you just playing to just make the money? Like, Oh yay. I get a week one starter for when it's six at 12 and maybe a couple of weeks after. So what if you've been cash, you've been cash. Uh, I'm not playing the min cash. I'm playing to get pretty deep in this thing. So when you look at long-term shots for the season on guys, you think are going to be in there for a longer extended time. We're talking Mendoza. We're talking shitter. Tua is a question mark. Cause you know, he just gets hurt a lot. That's the thing. He's got a bad concussion history and he's one knock away from being gone for a bunch of games. But if you, I mean, he's more of a, let's use them for four or five weeks. If the team needs it kind of guy, you know, how it panics is a little dinged up too, isn't he? Yeah, no. I mean, he hasn't done full team drills, uh, yet. I mean, it seems like close to a lock that two is going to start week one, but yeah, that feels, that feels like one that could ping pong throughout the year. It's like one guy has a bad game and the other guy comes in and you're in a bad game. That one's more uncertain in all aspects. Yeah. Uh, all right, let's, uh, I'm going to get ready for another giveaway here for who's going to join me. Let's do hashtag Ramby, R A M B Y in the chat. Get your Rambys in. If you guys want to join me for another eliminator draft after this, it will be my final eliminator draft. My 150th eliminator draft in my one 49th year with Mr. Rambis. We have a three, five, four, one golf. Shock ward, Bijan, Bucky, Rico, Menungai, Spears, Pickens, neighbors, Metcalf, Sutton, Loveland, probably swinging back over to wide receiver, a tight end here. Yeah. I'm thinking we should probably grab a tight end before they're all gone. Well, actually, um, Barner's still there. I like that. I'm Barner over Hawkinson. Aren't you? Uh, I think I'd take Hawkinson over Barner, but I don't know if I feel strongly enough to, to argue. Uh, Hawkinson does go. So I'm, I'm good with Barner. Yeah. I have to go Barner here. Otherwise we're left on the dust. And then wide receivers. There's some nice names here. I mean, 80 Mitchell continues to have an awesome camp week 13 by Wix, I think is going to be a good fast start player. Um, yeah, he goes, Pat Bryant has been getting buzz. If you want to go double Broncos. No, I'd rather get that week 13 by then we have no correlating buys at wide receiver. Right now. It's nice. I think it was good. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Let's get Mitchell here. So now we have a three, five, five, two. So we're probably looking at what, uh, two more wide receivers and one more tight end. Something like that. I was thinking one running back, one wide receiver or, uh, well, what are we at? We have got three, three left. Yeah. We're three left and we only have five wide receivers in two. I mean, we could rock two tight ends with Loveland and Barner. Um, but I just don't know if there's not really going to be. A clickable running back. I don't mind Dylan Sampson, but it's, it's pretty gross. Otherwise. Yeah, you're probably right. So no, just address the needs that we need. You know, we're, we're set at quarterback already running back. We I'd like one more running back though. You know, a little dart throw just cause you know, why not? Like a Kalon black type guy or something like that. I just feel like that's so likely to be a zero where some of these wide receivers we add could actually contribute because look at this man, like if neighbors is slow week one and two, we're pickings Metcalf Sutton Mitchell. Like that's, it's fine, but it's thin. It's a little light. Yeah. That fourth being Mitchell kind of hurts. Yeah. All right. I feel you. Let's spin here. This is for coming on after Ramby to do another eliminator draft with me. Good luck to everybody. Sorry to whoever gets slow rolled here. Maryland, Maryland wins Nathaniel's mom. What do you know? Get, you want to know who else is in the squiggly who Nathaniel, right? He is going down this year. I'm telling you, I refuse to lose the Nathaniel. I will do whatever in my power. I can to not lose or lose the Daniel. I, that is not happening. That would be a rough, that would be a rough scene for you. Is he still your, your arch nemesis? Yes. Even in our discord chat of the league, he is still my nemesis and I do not plan on losing to him. I will nuke his players with power-ups. And what not, there's one where you can like, like double one of your players points for the week. Like this is going to be fun. There's just, there's different stuff and you can like, you can X out some other teams player. You get to use these power-up things. Yeah. It's it's let's go. I'm not losing the Daniel, right? Let's just say that. And let's speak it into true. I will not. Don't you guys have, what's your, what's your guys's eliminator bet that you have? A hundred bucks. Whoever finishes the furthest. The furthest. Okay. I don't think he matches. Max did either. He, maybe he did. You'll have to ask his mom. She would know. I love that. It's like, ask his mom if he can stay out late. Ask his mom if he backs the Eliminator. Okay, let's see here. We got the 16-17 turn here. I'm going to just filter to wide receivers and tight ends. Let's see. Ridley, Tesla, Keenan Allen, Cooper Cup. Jacoby Lane is one of the buzzy guys right now. Yeah, I'd be all about that or Cyrus Allen. Yeah. Did Cyrus Allen go? No, Cyrus Allen is here. Jacoby Lane goes. Who would you like to get? Let's take Cyrus Allen or Ridley. Ridley's probably the adult thing to do on this team. We can probably do both. We can get both. Start with Ridley, though. We need the adult. You think you know a browser, but Gemini and Chrome, that's new. It can help you with practically anything on the web, like restoring a vintage motorcycle from a 50-page restoration blog, or finally break down that long article you've had open for weeks. Check responses, setup required, compatibility and availability varies 18 plus. The perfect lunch combo. That first bite of your favorite sub followed by ice cold Pepsi. Add a couple of friends, and now that's. The next level. Suddenly, the laughs get louder, the stories keep flowing, and the food tastes better. Food deserves Pepsi. Yeah, we need the adult in the room. Although, does it pain you? Isn't he one of Centex's dudes? He is Centex's dude. He's 62%, but I mean, he's like the wide, he's the wide receiver three on Tennessee. You know, it's like, yeah. Oh, there you go. All right, final, final pick. You want me to put Cyrus Allen in here? Yeah, or Justice, no, not Keenan. Or Justice Hill, if he was there, I'd also consider. Let's, let's push. He'll actually hit the lineup. You, all right, we're in 17. We got one more, take Cyrus Allen. I just did Justice Hill because you said Justice Hill at the last second. I know, and then I lagged. It's okay. That's all right. We'll be just fine. I want to get you the guys you want. So I got you, I got you a week 13 by Justice Hill there. He has a lot of contingent value, let's be real here. If, if the big dog goes down, it's Justice Hill season. I mean, if, if big dog goes down, yes, Justice Hill will get a couple more carries, but they'd, they'd have to either one, use Adam Randall, or two. I mean, if, if big dog goes down, yes, Justice Hill will get a couple more carries, but they'd, they'd have to either one, use Adam Randall or two. Adam Randall. But we've seen Justice Hill, right? Like they're not going to give Justice Hill 15 carries if the big dog goes down. That's, that's not going to happen, but you are going to get some standalone pass catching value. So I see that. Yeah, didn't he drop a 30 burger last year at one game or something like that? Yeah, he dropped a 30 burger last year at one game or something like that? I finished three. I've got 12 in progress. Nice. Those are fascinating to me. So. Yeah. What, uh, cause you, have you just been absorbing as much, uh, knowledge as you can watching the streamers and reading and studying? I cheat a little. I go on, um, I have like chat GPT and I pull down. That's not cheating. Well, I, I pull down transcripts from like ADP chasing and, you know, different things. Sometimes the best ball bash and have it sort out what's meaningful. And then I have a spreadsheet that has all of the data that different people in different takes. So I can be like, yeah. So I'm like, this is the players I'm thinking about. What are the different takes? Who's thinks what, what are the upsides? What's the downsides and getting player profiles that way? I love it. Uh, all right. We are on the clock here. If you like running backs, gentee, James cook, wide receiver, almond Ross, CD lamb, Justin Jefferson. Do you have anyone you like in this range? Uh, no. First round. I generally either top click. I might pull up gentee for running back. Cause it is good for this particular format. I think to have a running back, if it's that close. Yeah. So I love this. So you've used, uh, chat GPT to kind of aggregate like a list of heuristics. So you have specific player takes data in there, like general rules of thumb, and then you kind of have them organized. So when you go through the draft, you kind of reference those. Yeah. And then, um, like for weekly winners, I didn't go through, and I do the atmosphere for each game who's projected to have the best shootout games for the week and schedule around that a little bit. That's fun. That's fun. What, uh, what are, what are some of the games that are, are there specific weeks that you're, you're targeting with weekly winners that you really like? No, what I've done is since I have 15 going, uh, my first few, I targeted the best ones that were available, uh, as it came through just with my strongest picks. And now on my last two, I've like, I've got like week one and I think 14 that I don't have anything covering yet. So I'm trying to steer those that way. Nice. I love it. Uh, yeah. And weekly winners is that contest is filling fast too. Uh, so we'll, we'll, uh, we'll, we'll have, uh, only a few more chances to get into that one. Yeah, I I've been, I've really been enjoying it. So did I? No, I didn't. I was already on with Nathaniel. Sorry. I'm reading a little bit. Yeah. I mean, if you didn't use promo code Nathaniel, I mean that, that would make for an awkward, uh, Thanksgiving conversation for sure. Uh, all right, let's see here. It looks like we'll have a couple running backs available to us here. Kenneth Walker, HN Hampton. There's also a Brock Bowers Walker goes, do you like HN Hampton Bowers, AJ Brown? Um, I probably would go with just the top click on that one. That's the running back. Yeah. Let's do, let's do HN. We can do HN here in Gen T. I mean, some people get scared about the dolphins offense being bad, but HN is so good. Do you have any takes on HN? Nope. I have, I don't, that's the other thing. I don't get absorbed in the player takes as much. Yeah. I very much believe that, you know, the mass market is at least in general. Right. Uh, but then I check news before I make my pick, but see, that's what I've got you for on this one. You're my chat GPT and news. Cause you know this and I don't, I have to use my chat GPT and news. I have to use my chat GPT and news. Well, you know what, Marilyn, you are ready to become a best ball streamer because a lot of times the accusations that the streamers get is, you know, you don't have player takes, you're just drafting for structure. You're trying to build out your portfolio, chase CLV. So you're already there. Sometimes they get mad at me for not having more definitive player takes. So I think you're well on your way to being a best ball towel. I know. I'm like, why would you want to invest too heavily in one person? That's just, that's not medically correct. No, but it's really fun. For, I think people, they, I think what it is in a lot of spots is you develop a personal brand around a specific player. So you get identified as that guy. I barely, I mean, I'm, I'm the Jeremy Bernard guy. Cause I have 18% of him. Uh, that's as close as I'm going to get to, uh, to brand identification via a player. Yeah, no, I'm not, I'm not a brand person. I would rather not know and not have a strong take on anybody. So I don't have, I don't have that. Um, what do people say? I don't want to go with this person because they did me last year. I don't have that memory. The recency bias. Yeah. That's, that's not a good thing to have. So what does Nathaniel think about you, uh, kind of diving headfirst into his, uh, his world of fantasy football? He's used to me doing that. Did you get involved in his acting stuff in this way? I guess it's a, it's not quite the same thing that you could participate in. I don't participate in a lot of things, but I do want to know, I do want to, you know, get not be knowledgeable, but I've been doing like last year, I did a couple of the weekly picks. I didn't do well at them at all, but I like to gamble. And so he was like, you know, here's a way you can do this and not just do pick them, but actually have a lineup. So who we got coming up? Yeah. So all the running backs got wiped, which is kind of fine. Cause we started with two. So we're looking at Rashi Rice, probably Rashi Rice or Devante Smith. I would go with Rice. I'm not afraid of what's going on with him. All right, there we go. Uh, yeah, he falls a few picks here. I think he's a solid ad for this team. Uh, so you said, did you say you're outsourcing your news or you're keeping track on NFL news yourself? I have chat GPT run the news every time before I make a pick. I love it just to make sure these are the players I'm debating between. Is there anything new on them? Beautiful. I only do slow drafts. I don't do fast drafts. Yeah. Cause you have the time to, to do your research and make sure you're, you know, there's nothing new out there. Yeah. I've done like a handful of fast drafts and they're okay. You know, they're, they're not, they're not bad, but I won't, I will not do that for weekly winners, but I will for, for best ball or the little Dalmatians. There you go. Go easy cards wants to know if you do better on underdog than Nathaniel this year, will you be kind or will you hold that over his head and talk a lot of shit? I'll talk shit no matter what. If I do half as well, I'll be like, Hey, I'm new to this. You should be doing better than me, but it's all in fun. But no, he's he, I think sometimes he really enjoys that. I'm doing it. Sometimes it's not so much this time this year I drove with him. You know, he got the job in Pennsylvania after he got cut from, so you think you can tout unexpectedly. And so he drives across country. So he drove from California to Pennsylvania. And I drove with him to as far as Chicago. And then I flew home, but he really liked that. You know, we were watching, um, different base, um, best ball streams and stuff. Hang on real quick, Baron. We're on the clock. Do you like the running back Deandre Swift or Ladd McConkie here with the pad? All right, let's go. I'm starting to get into bi-week trouble. No, no bi-week trouble yet. Um, so saying you guys were on a road trip and you were watching best ball streams. Yeah. So we could watch best ball streams together going down the road for three days where it used to be, I'd be like, I really don't want to hear that. So, yeah, but now, but now you're, you're on board with it. Oh yeah. The best one was, uh, was it Trev and Nick had a stream on that week that was them and hot sauce and that I are driving, listening to that. That was great. Yes. I think it was, uh, angry dragon hit me up for a prompt to trigger when they had to take a shot of hot sauce. I didn't, see how the ending played out. Were they in tears? It was not pretty. It was hilariously fun to watch them in agony. If they had invited you on to do that premise, is that a yay or a nay for you with the hot sauce? No. It's fun to watch other people be stupid. I am not that dumb. Yeah. The things we do for content, just to get eyeballs on our stuff, it's tough out there. The things you do when you're in your 20s and 30s that I'm sorry I'm not doing at my age. I have been there, done that. I know better. It's true. What did you think? Because we got to meet in Austin, the ship chasing meetup. What did you think of the ship chasing crew? That was a lot of fun. I didn't stay too long. I was probably there for about two hours on Friday night and then I stopped by for a little while during the drafts. It was great to meet a bunch of people in person and see how different people's. Personalities were a little different in person and just how they portrayed themselves in person was different. I don't know how people thought I was in person versus online. I think I'm pretty. I feel like you're very similar. Yeah. I think I'm pretty much me no matter where I am. What you see is what you get. Hopefully, that's what came across. No, it is always fun. There's always an element of. Personas when you're online versus who you are in person, but I feel like everybody from the ship chasing community, there's a what you see is what you get element. Running back does not look good here. There's some decent wide receiver picks. J-Mo, DJ Moore, Christian Watson. I do think Ramondre could be the running back you pull up here if you like one or worried about getting shut out. If you think that's the end of a tier, great. Because I'm more. I'm looking to you to help me beat Nathaniel in this one. Yeah. Let's do it. I mean, I've been. We were talking about it with Rambis where it's just like the running backs are flying off the shelves. All the top targets are getting pushed up. I like breaking ties in favor of that direction. So we'll grab, we'll grab Ramond right here. Yeah. Yeah, no, I completely agree. That's a big thing for me with the weekly winners is getting the running backs is difficult. Yeah. Before the tear breaks. Did you get to watch the show we did with Chad on off and on the clock where he had all the weekly winners data? Did you like that? I did. Um, I tweaked what I did a little bit, but I was already doing a fair amount of what he was suggesting. That's awesome. Yeah. It's always, it's always nice to know you're on the right track and then it's always fun to get a few new ideas to try to execute and drafts as well. Yeah. I wasn't quite hitting running back as hard as, as he was suggesting, but I was already doing that a little. So I just upped my game a little bit on the running back at the start. Yeah. It's such a weird thing. Cause obviously that's 2025 data. It's like what happened last year. And it's kind of saying if similar stuff happened this year, this would be the best way to play it. But we also don't know if this year is going to look exactly like last year, but man, the way the market is handling things. If you play chicken with the running back position. You are going to be, be punished for it. Yeah. Are we about up? We are about up. And this is why I'm really glad we grabbed the running back because the wide receivers in the queue are still here. Um, Jamison Williams and DJ more, uh, ideally. Yeah. Jamo comes all the way back to me. This is an awesome click for us. I like Jamo. Yeah. I've clicked Jamo where we took Henderson and then he comes all the way back. So that, that worked out really well. We have genti. HN, Rashi rice, lad, remandre, Jamo in the sixth. And how are we doing on by weeks by weeks? We're doing good. Um, we have no overlapping by weeks within the positions 13 for genti, six for HN, 11 for remandre, five for rice, seven for lad, six for Jamo, and just the two week sixes there with a Chan and Jamo. Yeah. Not too bad. Okay, great. Yeah. We're in, uh, we're in good shape here. So have you, uh, even before your. Getting into underdog, have you been a football fan or is this kind of your first foray into the NFL? Oh, no, I've always liked football. Yeah. I mean, I'm not like a, a big, let's sit down and watch because nobody else in my family really liked football except Nathaniel. And so me and Nathaniel, if it was just the two of us, we'd hang out and watch football. But like my husband is not, not a football fan at all. So I have to drag him. Like we went, we went to a couple of 49ers games, but it's like. You have to come. Yeah. I mean, Gentee was the right call. Yeah. No, it's just, you know, you took, you took his brand, you took his brand guy there for sure. I mean, I'm not stupid. I'm not going to do it when it's not at the right time, but I'm not going to do it too. Bang, bang shots, shots fired there. Uh, who are you, well, this is what happens though. And I would be surprised. Are you, do you know, uh, what red zone is? Yeah. I feel like. If you go down this rabbit hole where you've drafted a bunch of players, you're going to want to watch red zone on Sundays now on last year. Okay. Then you're going to really enjoy it this year. Yeah. Yeah. So that's what I was like, Oh, I've already, I've already bought my, my package to red zone. Oh yeah. You are, you are going to have a blast there. Uh, it's going to take it to the next level for you for sure. And that's what I'm like, this isn't like, you know, a new thing I just got into because of Nathaniel. I've always enjoyed football and we've talked football, but it's been more, more his thing. He went to. You know, more of an extreme with it than I have, but you know, it's just another way that I enjoy gambling. Yes. Um, all right. We're on the clock by ADP Chuba's hurt right now. So he's going to fall RJ Harvey. If you want another running back, Jayden Reed, if you want a wide receiver, Justin Herbert, if you want a quarterback or Dak, if you want a quarterback, who do you think? Uh, yeah, I really, this is when I don't have a good reason to take any of them looking at. Yeah. I did. I did. RJ Harvey there. We tend by, you know, Dobbins got dinged up the other day, get another running back here. I think if we keep breaking ties in favor of the running backs, we'll, we'll like whoever comes back to us at pick 89 here. Yeah. Cause we've got four running backs now. So, and two of them are really good, you know, top tier ones. So yeah, we're good at running back now, so we don't have to stress about that at all. No, I think we've built up a good base here. Uh, someone named. I know I can tell said, what is going on here? Do you want to explain what is going on here too? I know I can tell. Oh, he knows what's going on here. He texted me at the beginning of this. He's like, okay. Um, I see you made it on. There you go. There you go. And go easy card. Oh, go ahead. What were you going to say? Oh, I just said, I hope he, I hope he makes it on again soon. There you go. Yeah. We're going to, we'll do one more after this. Um, it'll probably be a shorter draft. We'll probably do badge bros brawl. Um, just because I do have Ian coming on at 2:00 PM right now. So we'll, we'll do one more after this. Um, just because I do have Ian coming on at 2:00 PM, but we'll, we'll, we'll check the time here for sure. But here's the squad so far with Maryland, the four running backs, Gentee, HN, Ramondre, Harvey, three wide receivers, rice, lad, JMO. Um, let's see here. Uh, we can, we can do the Herbert with lad stack. I mean, the, the stacking isn't quite as important, but Herbert is a good value here. Um, if you'd like a wide receiver, what do you think? I do like the stacking. I mean, I think it's a good value. I think it's a good value. We've got 10 picks in the book, one, four, four, one. I think we're in good shape with the structure. Probably need to keep tabs on the quarterbacks coming back around here, but we're in good shape. Cool. Sorry, what were you going to say? Nothing, just laughing at Nathaniel, trying to give me time. Hey, you know, I think that it took a lot of, it took us off guard because a lot of people just think of a textbook towel. It sounded like you were going through a Rolodex of potential different types of howls you could have unleashed there. Tguard says, another draft. Yes, we're going to have time for one more draft before Ian Harditz comes on. I don't think we can do a full 18-round draft, but that is what the Badge Bros Brawl is for because that'll take us only 20, 25 minutes. So, yeah, we'll do one more draft. It will be a Badge Bros Brawl, though, so stay in line if you are a YouTube member hoping to jump on stream and draft here. So Nathaniel's asking me if I have, my draft chart up. Yeah. Texted me because I made this to help me with fast drafts, especially. And so I do this. Ooh, this is the cheat sheet. This is my cheat sheet. So I can keep track of my bye weeks and who I have and which weeks or each of the positions and weeks. I love it. That's like, that's the old school, the manual charting. And did you use ChatGPT to create that sheet that you then printed out for all of your drafts? Yeah, to help me. You know, I was like, this is the structure I want. And yeah. Yeah. I love it. But I'm like, I'm not relying on that for this. I got you for that. Yeah. Well, and the nice thing about weekly winners. So like you print out those sheets, right? If you did that for Eliminator and it's like this team gets bounced, you got to rip up that paper. You have those weekly winners teams for the whole year. It doesn't matter. You're rolling into week 17. You still got it. We're on the clock here. Tyler Shuck falls. Keaton Mitchell is a fun other running back selection here. Do you want to grab a quarterback? Quarterback. I think Shuck's a great pick for us here. Okay. Let's see. Yeah. I think that's the play. So we'll get our second quarterback here. Yeah. Alex says that's how the game should be played. You know, let's, let's get rid of our tools. Let's all go back to manual hand drafting. We should have one contest where it's like, it has to be manual. No ADP. Everybody prints off their cheat sheets and that's how we do it. Yeah. This, you know, when I, when I take a, when I pick, I write down what, you know, what they are so that I can actually keep track because so many times I would start off and then I would have so many like week seven buys or whatever. I'm like, well, this is like crap. There's no way this team is going to do anything. So this just helps me keep it in my head, especially for the fast drafts. Yeah, no, it's a, I mean, everybody, I mean, even Nathaniel, he uses the sidekick, right? When, when he drafts, we all need our little cheat sheets, our crutches, you know, to draft the best possible teams. Yeah, actually. On the, he streamed this morning and I messaged him. I'm like, why did you pay for the sidekick? If you always ignore it? Cause when he does, you know, that is a, you know, that was like my friend Davis last year when he was doing the sidekick, just always bullying it. Oh, we get sniped on Keaton Mitchell by one pick. Um, I think Jaden Higgins or Coker look good. Do you like either of those wide receivers? Coker. Let's do it. Uh, either one. I think we're, I think we're good on either. Oh, you, you want to go by weeks. Yeah. Let's do Higgins and then we'll have zero overlapping by weeks at wide receiver. Yeah. All right. I got hate and Higgins again, falls, uh, from one 29 to one 37, I think pretty similar bet. So just breaking the tie away from the double by week makes sense. Yeah. Yep. Um, there you go. Nathaniel is, uh, pushing back on, uh, bullying the, uh, the sidekick. You know, there is something comfy of knowing this is what my, you know, machine overlords want me to do, but I know better. My big brain has the answers. I mean, Nathaniel loves eliminator. He, he has a great strategy for them. So, you know, I'm like, you do you, but he does, but he did tell me, he's like, no, he uses the eliminate the, um, sidekick for other, other formats. Yeah. Eliminator. For sure. Or other formats. I'm like, okay, that's fair. Matthew does remind me there is, um, so one of the sites we draft on FFPC at their live drafts in Vegas every year, they have one draft called the bare knuckle draft and there are no cheat sheets and you have to do it all from the top of your head. And when the, when it comes around, you know, they'll, and they'll go, I think that draft goes like 30 rounds cause there's kickers and defenses. And so you're just doing it all by memory, looking at who's been taken and trying to remember who's available. It's a pretty fun sicko. Thing there. If you can, you can memorize every player in the pool. Yeah. That is not my game. Yes. Um, so desperately. Yeah, it is. Uh, it's funny too. Cause it's like, I think I could do it for an underdog draft just cause when you do so many of them, you do start to kind of know where all the players go, but those guys adding in kickers and defenses, it's like, I can barely name 10 kickers in the league right now. I don't know how I would do that. Yeah. I mean, I'm, I'm really enjoying the drafting and I would have probably done it last year, but I didn't realize that these things called slow drafts existed then. Yeah. And, um, I travel so much with, you know, since I'm a travel agent, I'm on cruises and stuff a lot that I was worried that I wouldn't be able to do my picks this year. And then they will explain to me, it's like, Oh no, you know, you can make a pick anywhere. You could only start it at a certain location. So now that opened me up to doing more. Yes. Yeah. Well, we, uh, the underdog community is. Stoked to have you here. I, this draft is falling really nice for us here. I think Daniel Jones would be a great third quarterback for us. He's top, uh, rank and value here week 13 by what do you think of Jones here? That's fine. All right, let's get some dimes. So now we have our three quarterbacks, Herbert shock, Danny dimes, and we have three quarterbacks, four running backs, five wide receivers, one tight end. I feel like we are, we're chugging along just as we need to be. Yep. Yes. Uh, let's see. Go easy cards wants to know, what is your take on send texts? You, uh, of course, infamously went head to head with him as part of the, uh, elimination duo, uh, interview challenge there. I, I really don't think about him. Oh, wow. Don't think about him at all. You hit him with the Don Draper line. No, I mean, he seems like a nice guy, but from what I can tell from everybody, a lot of people are saying he doesn't have great take. So. Uh, you know, he is, uh, he's a one-on-one in the best ball space, uh, for sure. You know, one of the many characters that I've gotten to, uh, be introduced through the, so you think you can tell experience here, um, I give to anybody who's willing to get up here and make a stand and talk about what you actually think on record to come back and bite you in the butt later. So, I mean, anybody who's willing to take that stand is fine as long as you're not mean to anyone, you know, we're all good. There you go. Yeah. You know, it's, uh, you know, especially in this area, you know, everybody's going to remember receipts, you know, when you take a heavy stand, uh, on a player, you know, syntax, I think he said 60% Calvin Ridley. If Calvin really doesn't do good this year, people are going to remind syntax about that for a long time. So that's the name of the game. Uh, looks like all of the best available players are wide receivers, Omar Cooper, Trey Tucker, Jalen. McMillan, Jawan Jennings, Ryan Flournoy here. I'm looking at buys. See, this is my one thing that it's the Jawan Jennings. I have to do for Nathaniel. Okay. Is he a Jawan Jennings guy? Let's do it. Yep. Yeah, I was, I was torn there between Jawan Jennings and Trey Tucker. I think Jawan Jennings is perfectly serviceable there for us at one 61. And now coming back, probably looking for some tight ends to make sure we can, uh, pair up with Kyle Pitts, maybe one more running back flyer. If we can find somebody we like. Yeah. Oh no. Oh, I just realized what happened too. So Jawan Jennings is not Nathaniel's guy. It's Jawan Johnson. Yeah, it's okay. He was already gone. He was already gone. So I was trying to remember. I was like, oh, I don't remember him being Nathaniel's brand guy. Yes, there you go. And Shad is loving it. Uh, absolutely loving it. I should have caught that. The issue is, is Jawan Johnson was already gone. So it wasn't like we passed on him, but yes, two Jawans, a Johnson and a Jennings there. And I'm sitting here going, they're all about the same at that level. Yes, exactly. It is. You know what you said that you were going to get him a Jawan. It didn't matter which one it was. And, uh, and you did that in this draft. Yeah. Wind it back. That's right. Yeah. Underdog's not rolling that one back for us. All right. Let's do a couple of things here. Cause we are going to do, uh, another spin here for our final draft today, because we're going to draft a badge bros brawl. Let's do hashtag brawl in the chat. If you guys want to come on and draft a badge bros brawl team with me, that is spelled B R A W L brawl. And we will spin that after Marilyn and I make our next couple of picks. We have four more. more here to land the plane three, four, six one good at quarterback um gonna want a couple more tight ends probably one more running back one more wide receiver but we'll see how the board is looking here yeah you know if nathaniel gets put up that everyone's gonna be like this is so rigged so rigged exactly i mean i get accusation it literally anyone could come up and there would be accusations of it getting rigged so you know it is what it is um all right at 15 8 here now this is an interesting one gadston's here he's been falling we do have justin herbert um we could stack that up on nope he goes so throw that out the window um tight ends are getting chewed up here a good bit i like dulcich in the eliminator um you like dulcich i like dulcich too yeah let's do it i think he's gonna have a decent amount of targets a good tight end two for us and then we can see what comes back to us in this next round this episode is brought to you by google chrome you think you know a browser but gemini and chrome that's new it can help you with practically anything on the web like restoring a vintage motorcycle from a 50 page restoration block or finally break down that long article you've had open for weeks gemini and chrome is here for it ready to make anything online make sense there's no place like chrome check responses set up required compatibility and availability varies 18 plus the perfect lunch combo that first bite of your favorite sub followed by ice cold pepsi add a couple of friends and now that's next level suddenly the laughs get louder the stories keep flowing and the food tastes better because pepsi brings out more flavor more fun and more of the moment food deserves pepsi grab a pepsi zero sugar today yeah that worked so now i was wondering though is i talked to you about doing your ship chasers thing on a ship yeah i know it would be what so here's can you is it possible i mean it i mean how many people do you need to have your own cruise ship versus just being on a cruise ship with other people depends on how which cruise line it is okay 50 to 100 there are some really small cruise lines you could you could rent out an entire ship was okay so we could yeah i mean this year we we got up to 30 maybe with advance notice maybe we could get get up over 50 there get our own cruise ship that'd be tight you get your own cruise ship where would be the best place to uh to to take off from we got a pick coming up what do we got i was just looking at the running back stuff here um the other the titans are getting chewed up here pretty good um we could do calvin ridley if we want a running ryan robinson or ray davis don't look bad any of these guys jump out to you no i'll let you just just pick whatever on that one i'll have no clue i'm just gonna get it i wanted us to have one more running back in here ray davis uh doesn't have an overlapping bi-week let's get some exposure to that bill's offense there but um yeah what would be what would be the ideal way to do the cruise thing what i would do is you go on one of the larger ships and they have rooms that we can put you in to do the actual stuff that you're wanting to do and there's all kinds of fun things we do with groups okay yeah i'm intrigued it's it's a it's a lot of fun who's coming on next bb meat gazer coming on there shoot me a message here and uh i will get you the link for a badge bros brawl um but marilyn let's see here herbert shuck dimes rashi rice lad jmo matthew golden jayden higgins juwan jennings kyle pitts greg dulcich um how often do you go on on cruises um in 2024 i did 12 2025 i did 14 this year has been a really light year for me because i've had some medical issues um and i've only done five okay yeah last year i did two alaska cruises the galapagos islands the british isles and then a bunch of caribbean cruises and one in out of california okay these are all doctor research i have to research okay yeah i uh and then i guess because the other thing too is a lot of times you know people just have the weekend that they can do what's like the shortest can you do just like a two-night thing yeah you can well it's a three night but you get on friday get off on monday yeah okay i think it could work yeah yeah and if you plan them out two years in advance you get such incredible deals real okay so maybe that's the play maybe we we plan it out for two years from now do this uh do this on the cheap i think that might be the play and then you can have the families come the families come and they get to go do their thing you do your thing they're happy they're not complaining that you're running off without them it works all right alex meat gazer uh is is too scared to come on and thinks he wants coffee this is actually to come on stream in draft so uh alex w uh shoot me a message you are gonna take his spot here let's see uh final picks here we have two more um probably looking at a wide receiver and a tight end let's do a wide receiver here first jerry judy branch bateman cup bernard booty anyone jump out to you you can do the ted hearst thing he's been buzzy um no i would say just this is one of the times i would just go with a late pick or the eliminator like bateman or i uh sorry we we we ran out of time and i dived out on on a hearse there as we tried to uh to get on this we got we got distracted with the cruise life and uh it's it's all good though no um i love cruises they're they're they're amazing you know do you know that i've never been on a cruise we need to fix that i know i know like i guess this has been my thing with the cruise is uh i i like the idea of all inclusives um and so then i'm just like what you know what i'd rather just go there have the beach the pool all of that stuff you know over the cruise but you could sell me on a cruise for the ship chasing meetup because it's you know it's literally in the name yeah yeah so just email me we'll work it out okay all right i'm uh i'm intrigued i like that two-year plan let's get let's lock this in on the cheap let's find out who are the real ship chasing fans who are with us in the future and willing to commit to a cruise two years in advance uh all right one more pick here can we find a tight end that you like uh mike gosicki evan ingram nojoku mayor tongas stowers i mean gosicki is definitely the best but he has the same buy as dulcich um i don't know you got any deep sleepers you like at tight end for some reason myers is michael something is coming up in my brain oh michael mayor yeah yeah he has a week 13 buy uh you know he's kind of a contingent play a little bit if bowers were to get hurt but he's a he pairs with genti and uh i don't mind that that call at all let's get a third tight end here to wrap this up okay all right here's the squad maryland we did it 18 rounds justin herbert tyler shuck daniel jones genti a chan ramondre stevenson rj harvey ray davis rashi rice lad mcconkey jamo matthew golden jayden higgins jawan jennings and ted hearst kyle pitts greg dulcich and michael mayor my 150th draft with maryland how do you feel eliminator feels good you're gonna have to keep them posted on how this one is doing so i can taunt nathaniel with it exactly yes well we will we will be checking in on these you know any of these teams that uh make a little bit of a run every monday morning on stream i'll be going through my portfolio seeing how the squads does and i will name this one accordingly and we will make sure we can keep tabs there maryland uh we're going to be doing a little bit of a run let the people know anything else you would like them to uh to check out here uh on your way out um they want to follow me i am on youtube twitter all kinds of things as maryland's travels follow me beautiful uh it was great seeing you maryland i know you've been trying to get on the show here for a little bit so i'm glad the randomization gods were in your favor and uh we'll see you around in the chat on the internet all that good stuff thanks talk to you later all right peace all right alex w make your way to the show making a return to the bash i knew i recognized your name and when i uh checked into our chat uh i know i had sent you some other bash links in the past uh that's right draft a badge bros brawl with me here yeah let's do it i have zero of these on the year but i i know the format so uh i won't be completely lost yep we need three more here if you guys aren't familiar with this we did a couple shows about it on off and on the clock this is another one of the contests that's filling fast basically very similar concept to a regular best ball draft except there are only six drafters instead of 12 so essentially half of the player pool does not get drafted in these contests which makes it very fun as far as strategy do you want to scroll down you can draft guys like malik willis we talked about this with with chad candles yesterday you can get these guys basically undrafted in this contest so we will have fun here we drew the 102 but uh how have you been alex what's new with you i've been good i think last time i was on was back in december maybe so it's been a while uh if i recall correctly i just finished a job interview when i was on that stream and i got that job so i've been busy with that um but not too busy that i haven't been you know firing some some drafts both pre-draft and post draft and and trying to watch as many streams as i can here and there so doing well yeah i want to say one of the times you were on the bash if i recall correctly like were you were you hanging out with your dad for or you yeah yeah i was yeah i was hanging out with my dad in costa rica um that's what it was yeah um so i'm back in the u.s i'm in texas uh right now which is where i'm based right now so um back in the back in the states and uh yeah doing well all right badge bros brawl we got the 102 here you want to you know grab the bijan you got anything else uh no here no spice here we go bijan all right let's do it um i'm not like sorry i was gonna say i'm at like 11 percent bijan because i was bijan over gibbs earlier before they flipped um and so i'm like trying to get as much gibbs as i can but i'm uh i'm more bijan over gibbs nice uh you said you applied for the job what what was the job uh you were trying to get that you since landed uh it's an ai consulting type of job um because that's what i what i did in grad school um i i did like generative ai and media and stuff like that so on the on the on the ai ai slop train yeah uh what what's what's the latest and greatest in the uh in the ai world here uh just you know claude claude's the claude's the best man claude is claude is great for a lot of a lot of stuff um but you know i mean it's it's it's really it's it's taking over in you know in both good and bad ways you know i'm not i'm not the most uh you know i'm not the most pro ai person i'm pretty i'm pretty pretty tired of it honestly i have some ai fatigue for sure and yet you made it your uh your profession and something you have to think about you know theoretically 40 plus hours a week yeah here we are here we are all right we uh we have bijan here we're gonna have back-to-back uh here close to back-to-back at two five and three two we'll see what troy does here uh jonathan taylor goes off the board so we got lamb jefferson you can keep loading up on running backs genti barkley brown kenneth walker how do you want to play this uh let's do let's do genti here let's go with the theme of of uh you know in genti enjoyers of the stream so far no this is this is how you stick it to ram is that we have three guests on the bash and the two that walk away with rambus shares are not rambus uh jefferson barkley chase brown kenneth walker henry hampton jefferson seems fine as a as a clicker get a get a wide receiver yeah yeah we can play you know uh when i drafted these with john you know he doesn't let me just draft the best plays he makes me he makes me flip the board he makes me draft bad plays you know all of that stuff um but no and we can we can save our getting weird for later we're going to start here with jefferson speaking of the badge bros there going to have a show uh today immediately after uh the bash and the randomizer make sure you guys are checking out the badge bros here um what kind of what kind of contests are you trying to pile in here as you know drafting season winds down mostly puppies um some some other stuff here and there i have about 25 bbms as well uh that i've that i've done this year but mostly just the normal stuff i i've dabbled in a couple of these and i've done a couple of these and i've done a couple of these eliminators um but yeah just the normal stuff for me i'd say i'm uh uh i'm a mcbride guy again this year i'm my highest drafted player two years in a row i mean the guy is the guy is just still hanging out in the mid third and i'm like i guess i just have to lock myself in my room and just draft and keep drafting if this guy's just gonna go at 30 every draft like well yeah so tell tell the uh the trey mcbride the haters the faders the people who are scared of him why they should be clicking him uh every time he's the goat i mean this guy his this guy he he he he he did well enough with short king kyler to earn himself you know the adp that we drafted him at last year he got the touchdowns that he never got since high school last year 11 touchdowns and now he's here right like i'm not i'm not anti bowers i'm a big i am big elite tight end in general this year but like i'm not anti bowers i'm not anti bowers i'm not anti bowers like we're on the clock here yeah i put neighbors in the queue just because he's like one of those guys that i think can break this contest at a discount yeah let's do that i'm i'm in on neighbors um i wasn't getting him much when he was in the fourth but i'm trying to i'm trying to not not get too behind on him myself are you taking are you mcbride over bowers no i'll take just because just because their adps are so different i will i was uh earlier when their adps were a little i'll take uh i'll take bowers just uh at cost uh pickens loveland rice davante loveland's kind of fun if you want loveland at an elite tight end yeah yeah i'm i'm again i'm also in on loveland like i'm i'm i i think you love elite tight ends i am i do i do i mean i i really i like all three of those guys i think all three of them are really really uh a great value at cost and i also think that like a lot of the negative news that we've been or at least a lot of the falling that we've been getting a lot of the midway through the year is that we've been getting a lot of the range tight ends like gadston like chig now with the dig signing a lot of a lot of i think the uh the those guys values have been falling which makes elite tight end for me even more alluring that it seems like their value over a lot of these middle middle guys it seems to be the gap seems to be widening at least that's my take yeah uh bijan genti jefferson neighbors loveland these drafts rip here we're drafting in the bros brawl i mean we might have been able to squeeze in a draft but i also didn't want to be in a spot where ian shows up at two and then i'm like having to uh push the plane on our draft uh rashi rice alave lad kyron waddle um lamar if you want to go that route what do you think uh rice all right let's grab rashi rice here we'll top we'll top click a little top click today uh crutches this is a good good call we can probably see you in the next game uh one more badge bros brawl here um let me see uh let's make this pick a lave lamar lad waddle jacobs wilson scatabo lamar yeah let's do it yeah who's gonna say no to lamar here not me we uh we had a tough did do you watch ship chasing yeah i don't know if you saw yeah we had the tough decision where uh we took lamar and then it's just like the amount of other available backs and good prices on elite qbs and you always somewhat regret it but then you're like man i just got a discount on lamar what's the guy yeah the the fppc episode i saw that yeah there was the the two the two v2s yeah that was and the controversial glitch situation as well yeah yeah yeah i watched that i wasn't i didn't watch that live but i watched i watched it back uh yesterday i've never done one of those but um that seems intense when you gotta we gotta you gotta pull the commission and you gotta you gotta barter with them about uh about about whether it was their fault or not exactly exactly um let's see here um i have a let's see let me get back to our board here so we have uh lamar we have bijan genti jefferson neighbors rashi rice colston loveland we're drafting the badge bros brawl you could do you do burden if you want to set up like some stacks with caleb you could also try to set up another skinny stack like with a terry mclaurin waddle is the faller here jamo dj more what do you think uh let's do terry yeah let's do scary terry here as our fourth wide receiver i know one of the things when we were doing these with john talking about because it is a bigger final um 375 you're probably going to want more skinny stacks because you are going to have to kind of hit the nuts on some of these things so that's something to consider um I can't wait to see what you guys have to say about that um we could just grab jayden here if you want to lock up that stack or something else what do you say jayden seems seems reasonable let's lock it up let's do it let's do it um all right uh we have lamar jayden now we just had marilyn on she was talking about how she's leveraged ai to help her in her drafts as uh someone who works in ai who also despises ai do you use ai to help you draft fantasy football teams uh i built a yeah i used claude recently to build like a combos tool so i just type in a player and i can see uh see see my combos um that's my my my way of uh of doing that i know that a lot of tools out there already already do that but i but i built a little a little side one myself i have yet to like integrate it into chrome or anything but uh i'm trying to i'm trying to work on that more because it does seem like there are some some opportunities to for for you know people who who have like i don't know i don't know i don't have a lot of people who have like a lot of people who technical knowledge and like best ball to be able to to to you know do like do a lot of these things um and and and implement them into their games but i also you know i'm also into the into the whole analog thing pen and paper like we should have more drafts where we just ban people from phones and computers and the ai and stuff i think that would be nice there you go we uh we're gonna see more of that popping up i'm sure in the uh the next few years uh let's see if tunes here uh no he's not i jinxed it uh i'm gonna see if tunes here uh no he's not i jinxed it uh i'm gonna Evans, Adams, if we're looking at running back, contracts uh bucky's probably not bad swing price brooks is the the big bucky bucky i'm not i'm not i'm i'm out on brooks now i kind of i was never i've never super in on him i've kind of been just fading that backfield in general but do you hear about the chuba injury i know i know but now he's now it's just it's it's all right i i mean yeah i'll i'll capitulate you know at some point but well i got it evans adams judkins hendo caleb watson you could do the caleb thing and just kind of shut down with the stacks sure yeah let's do that let's just go three elite qbs here have some fun sounds good sounds fun to me um kiss my third leg any coffee giveaways today no i uh i was really pushing it with those because we were going to do just best ball breakfast and then i was like well guess what i'm doing best ball breakfast on wednesdays too so you're at four coffee giveaways a week we will have two more on monday but unfortunately i'm drinking uh water uh right now no coffee giveaways but as always i do recommend checking out vasileros and son's coffee you can get 25 off your first order and free shipping with promo code pete but yeah mondays and wednesdays for those coffee giveaways here's our squad we uh we got three elite quarterbacks two of them stacked up daniels to mclaurin caleb to loveland we have lamar here uh bijan genti jefferson neighbors rice mclaurin bucky the other picks andrews could be a fun kind of like scroll down tight end uh to do just because we have that stacked up with lamar um probably want to look at running back here too i i do think one of these upside swings you said you're not buying uh brooks um hendo price brooks are probably three nice swings there let's do hendo i know i know the momentum is is not in his favor right now i know there's been some some bearish uh camp news but but like i mean remandre can only fumble so many more times right i'm gonna are they really not gonna they're really not gonna trust this guy i don't know so he has the hammy now but like the biggest upside swing here at wide receiver is probably jordan tyson um i also like kittle too of just being like he is uh continuing to rise and can give you elite tight end upside who do you think that's tough uh kittle let's do that all right kittle here we'll grab like both of those guys though i know uh yeah and it's you know kittle goes it's funny too how you see how the bad girls brawls adp is prioritizing because he's up here i think what ahead of pits um i had well ahead of you know kelsey and some of these other guys who go ahead of him in the other formats right uh so i think there's a little uh signal there that kittle is undervalued in the formats right now relative to the upside let's see here uh here's here's the thing guys i'm i'm looking at the time i think it's going to be too tight to squeeze in another badge bros brawl here before ian comes on it's going to be close how about this crutches how about i send you the link and you come in and and spill a little uh big eliminator alpha as it's about to close you want to just chop it up for a few minutes there we probably have like uh 10 15 minutes at the end uh i'd be down for that crutches um all right let's see what we want to do here lamar daniels caleb this episode is brought to you by google chrome you think you know a browser but gemini and chrome that's new it can help you with practically anything on the web like restoring a vintage motorcycle from a 50 page restoration block or finally break down that long article you've had open for weeks gemini and chrome is here for it ready to make anything online make sense there's no place

pepsi grab a pepsi zero sugar today you uh rome marv goff i don't love this range i feel like this is where we start to scroll yeah like the andrews thing here and get him yeah let's do that let's get andrews and then let's start yeah let's start scrolling with these last few picks um we have four more here i think we can start hunting you could do double uh double new england backfield uh remandre i'm trying to think who else is a huge swing here uh oh we could do bill on a on a bill are you a bill guy i am i am a bill guy i like i like bill like i would i would take bill i would take bill over over like like brooks chuba that like he's my favorite in that kind of range of you know ambiguous could could start guys like i'd probably take him over like quorum the non guy honestly at this point like i'm pretty i'm pretty in on bill so yeah and i mean this is the contest uh to do it uh adp 105 so he's gonna have you know right on that fringe as far as how often he's getting drafted i also like getting it so we have daniels bill in mclaurin we should probably swing back to wide receiver here for a few picks um let's see who are the biggest swings here jane needs a pretty big swing who do you got a guy i got a guy in mind um i don't know uh i mean i guess i guess i guess i can just say it but you could probably speak freely yeah michael wilson i like i like i mean i'm uh i'm your cardinals guy i'm mcbride pilled i'm wilson pilled i'm brucep pilled i'm not as in on marv but i i i feel i feel like last year was more signal than noise and if their schedule is really tough and they're going to be playing from behind a lot of these games why can't we see another you know 50 pass attempt game from jacoby brissett why can't we get the auto 20 points you know every week from him and where where they're they're going off you know i get that love is in there now and it's a little bit more there's a little bit more mouths to feed in terms of in terms of the offense and we could get some regression and some restructuring but i'm pretty in on the cardinals uh let's see here yeah let's um by adp wilson uh is first here so let's grab wilson make sure we get your guy um so we have jeff jefferson neighbors rice mclaurin wilson the other two guys i put in the queue read in downs um i'm trying to think is there anything else stacking wise we'd want to do baltimore we got the skinny jayden we have that stack caleb probably good there um yeah it starts to get a little too a little too frisky here can i can how about jane reed for a big swing yeah let's do that yeah i was going to defer to you on this one too i'm pretty i'm pretty uh um indifferent to to read versus downs i think they're both they're both good swings yeah i guess reed probably has just more single game upside i think if one of them is going to go for you know 25 underdog points is probably reed and downs is maybe a little more likely to score 15 but you know we're going to swing for the fences here yeah should we get one more fan scroll to uh to wrap it up yeah let's uh let's do it what what uh where should we go here wide receiver or uh i i think so we're done at quarterback and tight end the five running backs bijan genti bucky hendo bill um i mean you could do you could do like a scroll to like a keaton mitchell would probably be a pretty fun scroll or it's probably another wide receiver scroll you could do like a spike on like a worthy um yeah that's probably about as deep as you want to get at at wide receiver here for sure you could do the mckay lemon dip and in hope that he really pans out late but he's not quite as much of a scroll with his adp what do you think let's do uh let's do let's do worthy i like that you do a worthy scroll that seems that seems fun a lot of upside there if we're she rice is going to get less than 900 yards maybe some of those yards will go to worthy there you go there you go all right final click here uh we're drafting uh just finished up a badge bros brawl with recurring bash guests alex w lamar jayden daniels caleb williams bijan robinson ashton genti bucky irving trevion henderson bill justin jefferson malik neighbors rashi rice terry mclaurin michael wilson jayden reed xavier worthy and then loveland kittle andrews at tight end how did we do alex i think we drafted the shipper pete the shipper there i had the hazard of gas i'd say we drafted the shipper we did it uh shipper lytics here with alex w it's uh we we just did it uh let me name this team here and make sure i do not forget that this was drafted with alex w on 813 bash uh any other parting shots here uh for for the people any any other announcements you know uh are you last time it was the job uh that was hanging in the balance what do you got for us this time uh one just everybody you know keep not drafting trey mcbride i'll take him don't worry um and then two uh shout out to who hames i've been hanging out in his streams and his discord a lot this summer he has a growing channel and he's been doing really uh he's been doing some really great work so i just wanted to give give him a shout out as well because i know he's and he might be in the chat right now as well beautiful uh all right alex i'm gonna let you go i'm gonna vamp with uh with crutches here for about 13 minutes until ian joins us for the randomizer but good night and i'll see you next time bye bye good seeing you as always alex great to see you pete thanks all right all right crutches skip the line uh the last draft i have uh is one i think i'm gonna be able to squeeze in maybe one big eliminator here you said you just got your final one in i'm in it right now so if you see me looking to the right it means i'm on the clock um it's a nice little one we got going though i pulled up jonathan brooks but only five picks so it's not like i had to go crazy nice and uh yeah i know you were in the chat when we were talking about this on tuesdays often on the clock what uh what kind of stuff were you looking at here things maybe people were doing wrong yeah i mean it applies to like all of them so i did all the frenchie eliminators too um they're obviously low dollar but i just did like seven or whatever i could max out at a time and just queue up players um obviously like if you're using sidekick like i don't know what their inputs are so i can't vamp i or i can't speak for them i assume they have like obviously smart inputs because they're smart people but um i just think people don't know what they're doing and they don't adapt enough to the style of competition like based on the structure so like using even a frenchie limb for example um it was like two out of three from weeks so it's like six out of twelve and then it went two out of three from weeks two through nine um so like it's actually kind of opposite strategy of big limb for me where big limb in a perfect world i'll have basically near zero buys before week eight because it's a bigger competition and i'm like if you think about it from a right perspective the icm gets ramped up in week seven and so which is really interesting because there's so many good teams playing in week six and seven especially seven um and then also like week six at least has four out of six week seven is two out of four and it's the cash week so like you could theoretically um have a team that has 18 players live in week seven when it is the the worst and then you have like a team that has 18 players first advance rate minus the one week late in the season of 30 like one out of three um so basically like frenchie limb i was stacking as many buys from week five to nine as possible because there are a bunch of two out of three advanced weeks so theoretically you should stack up all your buys early try to get through and then you have a bunch of one out of two weeks the rest of the way where you're just 18 players live or pretty close to it um and then with the big limb it's a lot different to where um it's a little weird i don't know if it's a little weird i don't know if it's a little weirder because there's a lot of different structures each week um so like i don't actually hate week five buys because it's six out of eight so it's 75 percent um and it's so early that like if i draft kenneth walker like i'm not going to push them down in round two because like i see week five better than week six because they're both pre-cash line and it's easier advanced rate so like stack week five and then basically stack week eight onwards um and there's like a little bit of tiebreakers in those weeks like week 11 is a tougher advanced week and there's a six teams on by um week 10 is the easiest week and there's you know only a couple so like i like the wicks i like the hurts i like you know saquon guys like that um and then all the tampa guys so like bucky and and you know ted hurst whoever you're taking late so yeah i just think there's like ways people aren't playing it as optimally um yeah i could vamp for a while but i just find it does that put you on um like some pretty specific uh player and team exposures uh optimizing that specifically for the buys yeah i mean i would argue that like eliminator in general especially those you can especially if there's a bunch of different eliminator formats you can kind of get balanced exposures different ones in each contest but i think that um i have like higher risk tolerance and so i know there's going to be a lot of randomness and matchups so i'm willing to have like you know a smaller jacquard tree um and just like you know i could have two dupe teams and i'm playing two different opponents one could win one could lose right so um you know it's uh it's a little bit different but um for example like i'm pretty heavy on like uh let's see like big eliminator i actually pulled up jonathan taylor a lot so i'm gonna end up with i think 66 out of 10 teams on jonathan taylor um i actually took him one three in this last one because like i don't care as much about clb and eliminator um and also like i think week week 13 by when you know dimes was healthy he was crushing i've got a good o-line like um so you know jamar chase is like week six by i don't love it as much puka week 11 by i can do it but it's also like maybe suspension risk um and then you know cmc is fine for sure as well i don't have anything against him i actually see him as like a higher floor play than than jt but um yeah i i just think like i have a lot of dimes like week 13 by um and then a lot of week 14 stuff like if i can get you know the an arizona receiver like a lot of dimes like week 13 by um and then a lot of week 14 stuff like if i can get in that dead zone kind of when i'm done with running back usually um that's kind of where a lot of my builds are like four running back and one receiver so like i'll have four running backs and then get like jmo is my number one receiver and like a regular eliminator um and then i just take a bunch of like you know jordan tyson uh marvin harrison wandale like all the eliminator ass picks around you know 70 to 100 yeah who uh who across your eliminators ended up being your your biggest exposures um so let's see i have 184 total eliminators oh yeah it's colby parkinson um i have yeah i have 37 percent colby parkinson like that's where i'll differ from the sidekick obviously um like sack i like those guys they're obviously sharp but i just think like as much as i like terence ferguson like obviously um i'm a big jj zacharyson guy and he loves terence ferguson but i think like if you look at after week seven which was their buy um they went to 13 personnel like they didn't run a single snap of 13 before the receivers kind of got hurt so like week five and a half they started using um 13 personnel and then they go on their buy they come back and he was the tight end five the rest of the way um so i just think it's like underpriced like nothing's changed they drafted a developmental guy who's you know probably going to replace higby when he's gone um and i think it's pretty clear that they're going to use parkinson as their lead tight end quote-unquote more in the end line and they're going to use and then they're going to use ferguson as a weapon who i also like um but yeah i have i have the most colby i actually think i'm pretty strict on buys especially at the onesie um but with tight end being a little bit just kind of random and in those later weeks you're just 1v1ing i actually don't mind taking both terence ferguson and colby parkinson and then you have one other tight end like kolar or michael mayer just kind of fill in that week of 11 yeah um but i think you could take both rams tight ends basically for free and have like a flex for the rest of the week play honestly um and then both of them could hit the lineup some weeks so i think like those are kind of a little bit of cheat code like i don't think you set nfl records and efficiency and then just go away from it um the next year and everyone else is trying to copy you so um that's kind of one interesting one and then i have 30 jordan addison 27 kate otten i just think otten's the a great pick in eliminator all formats and then uh yeah i have 25 daniel jones 25 purdy so those two purdy i like because the week eight buys a little later um and he's obviously just really good less risky than even mahomes and then um i think danny dimes like the reporting we're hearing is so bullish and he was actually like so good and i don't think people's like priors have adjusted including mine that he's actually a good um receiver or a good quarterback so i think i think he's one that like when i'm in that zone of darnold stroud and dimes i'm like thinking about it like stroud was pretty bad to end the year like we don't know that he's a great quarterback you know donald's had a really good year there but it's a different coordinator there's a little bit of risk like you're giving me a possibly healthy daniel jones with shane steichen like i'm just going to click that at 135 every single time in the eliminator with a later buy so yeah i the chat wants to know is there a dog story in the background um yes can't confirm can't confirm that was so good i was wondering what that was too what was yeah i'll be on sales calls and uh i'm like can you hear my dog in the background so sometimes it does a good job like muting it but other times you can just hear the boy snoring so are you uh uh this time of year i know you've been doing a lot of golf are you less golf so you can draft are you still doing both uh playing golf no still doing a bunch i have this is actually like the biggest month of tournament so next week i'm actually playing a uh u.s mid-am qualifier um and then my club championship is also going to be in the playoffs so i'm going to be playing a lot of golf and i'm basically taking the whole week off work um to play some practice rounds and do all that so yeah it's fun um i'm down to about scratch so i'm just kind of trying to get to plus handicap now um damn dude you uh what i mean what were you like because i know you've been you probably played for a while but you really pick things up in the past year or two yeah um i joined a like i had this shoulder surgery so i was out for like two years before last year and then i joined a country club last year um so i can kind of practice like all in for free which is nice um they have good practice facilities so um yeah i never i do not have a hole-in-one trevor so despite how being good at golf i do not have a hole-in-one um and i have yet i thought two albatrosses closer than i have a hole-in-one so um not lucky in that sense but uh yeah the big sweat this week um in case you're not roaming the discords it's me and chad are both in tommy fleetwood and one and done um okay wins like chad could go to the game and i'm going to go to the to the top of the Mayo contest. if uh only 400 back and i have like scotty sam burns and tommy saved for the playoffs because mine goes to the tour championship his ends at the splash one yeah so i mean it's a custom one it's the uh 3500 like higher stakes buy-in um but basically if i win this week i'm basically like nearly guaranteed to win so um we need tommy to have the week of his life um but yeah we've been saving him for this week so he started off 400 through four today and then kind of went into neutral so um we're good we're just gotta gotta wait it out but it's a little bit sweaty because it's like first it's more than a dog bowl win so it's like all right this would be nice little stimulus before the nfl season i was gonna say that'll that'll boost the uh the dog bowl bank roll if you can you can uh bink that one yeah it's a uh it's getting a little sweaty but um you know even if i don't win i still have scotty shuffler left for the tour championship so like i feel good but i uh there's one other guy who has him so i'll uh i just need to pass him for the tour championship and then i'll i'll kind of feel good so well beautiful well well thank you for for vamping with me our our uh randomizer guest ian is here now but let the people know other than needing tommy fleetwood to uh to ball out this week any other parting shots for the crew no we're good um i'm sure we'll chat during the season on dailies uh like i said we'll see how much of a stimulus we get here then we'll see how much dog bowl we play but we'll definitely be in the bi streets week one for sure yeah looking forward to that as well uh all right crutches i'll catch you around the discord and uh we are going to get ready to go for the seventh appearance from our guest today ian hardett's on the randomizer let's get ready folks never made it that's a tight end how is that wow no one has ever seen a bigger dick she's such a good fucking girl we're no strangers to love when it comes to sports trivia i am the i have no idea what's in granola i thought it was just granola emo cowboys coming for you john devil they say i'm getting a little bit older that streaming's a young man game welcome to the randomizer pete take it away there he is the seven timers club dude it blew my mind when i was going back through the thumbnail and all of that uh we had to keep the streak alive what's up my dude i'm just happier getting back your roots pete i know you're a big time reality tv show host now so hey not not getting too big maybe maybe one day we'll even get a man's flashback out here maybe maybe uh yeah man it was like i was looking at that that first randomizer we did i was at my in-law's house i was like drinking medellos up in like the spare bedroom we were drafting on drafters because underdog didn't uh i mean things change a lot in six years things do change a lot man i think that was right around the time i uh you know met my wife in connecticut too so basically uh my wife and a randomizer have a the same streak going on hopefully a randomizer hopefully a randomizer doesn't beat that one yeah no uh you should be good on that front we do need two more here this is just the three dollar uh 12 person self-contained draft do not worry we are not going to mess up the integrity of any of these best ball contests if for some reason you're watching this and you're like oh my god i'm not going to you don't know what is about to happen uh ian knows because this is the seventh time doing it but we have a wheel with a bunch of prompts on here and before every one of our picks i'm going to spin the wheel and there's going to be a prompt a challenge trivia whatever have you and if ian passes that test he gets to pick whoever he wants if he doesn't there's often a punishment pick i actually need to make sure is duke johnson still in the player pool he is you can still click duke johnson as you wear the ohio state university hat uh one more here but uh ian are you excited for your seventh randomizer appearance of course man no other time where i have to you know search my refrigerator for vegetables and just do a bunch of other crazy shit so no it's it's part of my yearly tradition man how could i complain and i will say i'm not going to complain because we got the 107 which is a near perfect slot either 106 107 you know i've done the 101s can be very hectic this dare i say it could just be a little bit more of a challenge but i'm not going to complain about it i'm going to say it could be a nice leisurely stroll through the randomizer wheel today i don't know about that it's always a great day to be great though it's going to be back too pete i uh this is my first uh i guess this isn't exactly uh fantasy life affiliated here but first one since uh unfortunately having to part ways with the squad so good to see you again my man no well i was thinking about this because it's like we used to be co-workers at fantasy life and now you are co-workers with someone who i felt like i was a co-worker with in ppr tyler because he was on my reality tv show for the past you know uh four months so in a lot of ways we're just kind of ships passing in the sea pretty much man it was funny like you know i obviously saw a bunch of the highlights i do a show with uh pat mayo and jake seeley every week so i especially love pat's uh judging experience early on but i just i thought it was gonna be over in like a month man the fact you get that going on so long me too brother me too uh all right we're gonna get to it all right this is a season five throwback prompt phone a friend ian must call a c analyst and ask them to spell cordero patterson's first name cordero if incorrect draft the player whose adp is 84 spots past your next peg it cannot be john daigle this was a prompt from two years ago cordero patterson one of ian's favorites here um not really in the consciousness quite as much but we're gonna see if someone can spell cordero here all right uh cool i'll see if theo's probably not gonna pick up me oh you think duane could spell cordero who do we got theo this is theo i don't trust duane's spelling got too much texas in him the fuck is theo have an automated uh i get put on hold right here yeah come on theo make me look stupid all right for the people at home yeah go for another one for the people it's c o r

spots down the queue uh which is chris godwin was the 84th ranked player here so that's honestly not the worst round one pick you could get that's dwayne's guy this is actually kind of perfect it is it was it was fitting there i mean dwayne writes like you thousands and thousands of words about all of these players how many times do you think he's written the word cordero in his writing career i mean rare miss by dwayne it's what ai is doing to that generation man they just can't even spell cordero right anymore so just absolutely hate to see it goblin is uh you know i guess we can talk about some real takes here like yeah i'll say p out of all these guys you know like lag qj you know say flowers like bateman i worry more about abuka and goblin that target split being much more closer than you know we're kind of looking at the adp for sure uh the okay this is season three throwback draft a player with a more inactive player than a player with a more inactive player than a player with a more insfw name than ian hartitz uh we used to have a ton of fun uh saying tits on this show cannot use mo alley cox so let's scroll through the player pool and see if we can find a naughty sounding name in the have you seen the new usc wide receiver who he's like a stud five-star freshman his nickname is booby and his last name is feaster so he's a booby feaster that is a good one um i'm trying to think which one of these players is going to be the best player in the have you seen the best player in the have you seen the best player in the names could be dirty drake london brock cock bowers um when i was watching uh i was watching cowboys raiders and my mom is a diehard cowboys fan she was like brock bowers sounds like a porn star's name i think that i think that counts i think that definitely he's not gonna make it to us so that's the problem we shall see we shall see yeah on while we wait for this one the uh or actually let's see let's see if we get a backup for brock bowers what else would be naughty rashi rice ladd t higg igbuka sounds dirty um yeah let's see sounds like a sex position to the does the chat have anything sucky irving um let's see here tootin tootin is kind of like i told my daughter about bay shell tootin um because she was tootin the other night and i was like april do you know that there's a player named uh tootin and she got a kick out of that b i'm sure she was like of course i live with you bj thomas is a pretty good one uh tootin does sound dirty for sure let's see here i think there should be more obvious ones out here yeah who else carnell taint uh there you hold on fancy life had a uh not safe for work team name article oh yeah cooter dude will put a bunch of those together i had some get denied i had some nausea harris ones that didn't even make the cut if you guys that had to do with one eye or something else maybe a certain uh you know group from the 40s that uh we don't look back on okay for good reasons bowers is here you want to take big cock brock the porn star brock bowers let's go brock bowers yeah why not um it sounds pretty dirty are you are you in on brock this year hawk to it i'll check out my phoenix that's a good one cooter oh that was two games one cup yeah okay uh brock yeah i love brock especially if i can get them at the uh at the turns tough you know when i still got to chase browns and the derrick henry's of the world it's a little bit tougher to click on henry but dude if you can get one through four i think in the kind of get a sick running back get bowers at the end of round two maybe get one more in round three or you just start moving on the wide receiver like i'm going late round qb more drafts than not if i can get powers in round two and get a hero or superhero rb then i i said to click wide receivers man from round three through freaking seven yeah i feel like that's the best pocket of value to be able to do so i know what i've been you know i'm sure are you doing a lot of redraft content uh for rotowire now too yeah bro i mean i try to turn the page through in august i respect all you uh savages that do it all you know 12 months a year and everything but i feel like in august people want to hear about a redraft a little more than our best ball no for sure i i've been diving in more just you know on the fantasy life show we've been doing some more redraft focused things and i was like we did going through the best and worst picks in espn adp and mad like you want to just talk about like needing a lobotomy from what you did in best ball land and going over there i posted the uh brandon aubrey in round six screenshot but that's that's an entirely different world over there man aubrey has a because i uh i know dwayne did a lot of good work with the advanced rate stuff and i looked at it too from espn like aubrey oddly though had a pretty good advanced rate man like your biggest idiot in your league probably drafts them but then they also probably make the playoffs man that's fancy football for you it's true it's true round three prompt bear party down cue a bear ian shares where the bear suit from last year's stream has gone to take who he wants what what has been made of the the bear suit i have it over in my freaking right now i did admit to my wife that it was probably not my best use of 175 dollars because i just cannot find the time to wear it i thought that maybe on dog walks and it gets cold in ohio here like i'll throw it on sometimes that damn head just bounces around the entire time you're trying to wear it it's sitting lopsided on the head i do have if you look i can move my camera yeah let me see this was a good use of 175 dollars is it fighting wiener dogs like in south dakota every year they have a night where they do the fighting wiener dogs so that was a good use the bear hoodie was not so i literally said i need to like buy another chair for my office to put that bear hoodie on to uh get a use out of it p because right now it's uh not looking great all right well you get to pick who you want uh davante smith's a flowers a bucca a lot i have to get a bear right uh that was if you didn't get the

i just usually someone else gets them before me round four though josh allen like especially in these streets man i'll i'll take that all day the problem in redrafts it's more like a two three turn uh sort of deal you gotta kind of get behind so not quite as much on that i'll say one guy though and i saw him on the queue and i was looking at i wrote a fade article a couple weeks ago pete were like etn has like this borderline round three pick i wasn't buying but bro like early round five now okay sign me up at that point he has gotten ever since camara officially came back he's just been sliding and sliding i mean he's back to like the price we drafted him when he kind of broke out on the jags it was like the secondary breakout there for him so yeah no i'm with you etn he goes 46.8 he's a good guy i'm with you etn he goes 46.8 he's a good guy i'm with you etn he's a good guy i'm with you etn he's a good guy he's a good guy 36 here seems like a great pick javonte williams too man i just like pete for a dead zone running back okay i think of someone who maybe isn't particularly good at football and their offense probably isn't good but you look at the projections you said they have a lot of volume like what am i missing am i really being a freaking slappy for taking javonte i feel like he could score 15 touchdowns and we'd be like yeah it makes sense well you're not a slappy meow because slappies don't take javonte williams meow uh yeah he's not my favorite guy in the league he's not my favorite guy in the world meow but the who's taking over for him meow right it's not jaden blue maybe he gets a few extra catches meow what malik davis i mean so yeah it's probably javonte williams meow the prompt is season three throwback every sentence the two of you say from meow until your next pick must include the word meow or draft duke johnson here uh listen i've actually been surprised to realize that now there's been super troopers i even missed the second one out here but now you're telling me there's already a third so pretty ridiculous obviously a legendary uh situation and now we must just kind of realize in life that every single movie franchise has to make 10 of them meow because kids don't want to learn new things but speaking of duke johnson meow still pete meow in the year 2026 they use all-time leading rusher something's never changed and duke johnson being a king right meow is the same as it used to be has anyone meow come even close to dethroning duke with that record meow i don't think so meow now you could also consider the fact that in today's day and age no one ever will because no one stays at the same school meow more than a year or two because i was going to say uh quinchon judkins meow uh top of the queue here if we uh are interested bucky irving meow henderson meow who would you like meow i don't like any of these running backs meow which is a good are you a parker washington meow guy christian watson meow parker parker washington meow let's freaking go meow come on down all right talk to me about parker washington i don't even call it a drumbeat anymore i call it a gong beat uh what what's good with parker washington i think we've gotten new information about the guy the fact that you know i shout john shipley had him over on my youtube channel fancy football with ian hartz if you guys want to check it out but 12 13 personnel like he's confident parker's gonna lead the way in routes and snaps and targets overall man so yeah the training camp highlights are cool and everything but this was what 19 plus fancy points per game during the final five or six games i also did a study pete where i looked at you know guys who average eight or more fancy points per game the second half in the first half and then like how their team was because yeah for me like michael wilson or brian thomas jr doing on this like dead in the water team wasn't the same as someone like parker washington and i found out that was the case man amon ross st brown pretty much the only dude who broke out on a bad team then just kept the good times rolling so i think parker doing it on a competitive playoff team means more i think he's this generation's miles off austin i think he's gonna catch a shit ton of passes this year all right there you go uh next prompt round six ohio is the north dakota of california's cue the next bangler brown a long running ship chasing bit regularly asserts player x is the y of z's ian and pete must do this for ohio to the chat satisfaction to take who they want what is ohio uh here ian ohio is the uh california of iowa's the california's of iowa okay all right so it's it's the cadillac of the midwest is what you're telling yeah okay don't tell me about illinois and chicago you guys can't even keep your own football team there i don't want to hear it i guess the browns left okay so ohio is the pj washington of dj charks uh is what you're saying holy bull um uh jared price brand thomas jayden daniels joe burrow do you want to run back yeah yeah i'm gonna do the price let's do it it would be funny to just not go with the running back the whole time i mean that was my uh scott fishbowl you did you did you went zero rb i went 20 straight wide receivers i'll tell you what i got the highest projection in the league dude you and i inverse it's like i historically have been more of a zero rb bro you've been a running back guy in this year's uh scott fishbowl i ended up with a shit ton of running back guys i'm gonna do the price let's do it it would be funny to just not go with the running backs because they were just no one was taking them in that format i was like fine i'll just take them all yeah bro i mean just again the big loophole seemed to be 10 or i guess 10 bonus points for every 20 yard catch and then for running backs it's the same thing but like a 20 yard run just doesn't happen nearly as often so we'll see what goes down i i admit i did it more so for the bit of being able to tweet out a team that had 20 wide receivers than necessarily thinking it was gonna win but you know sometimes you gotta do it for the bit p you know all about that that's right how are things going over at road wire things going good oh life's great man again recording all the time but he'll get some beat reporters on recently too which has been helpful i got to interview uh matthew caller today from the vikings and uh probably dropped a little too much jordan mason he was uh you know saying it probably gonna be closer to 50 50 than expected but had a lot of good things to say about uh kyler and justin jefferson i know some of the reports were coming out like maybe it wasn't maybe it was a closer competition and man according to matthew he charted literally every single pass and he equated to if they played nine holes of golf kyler was even and mccarthy was you know five over so feeling better about all the uh calamari i spent drafting all summer i feel like that's a that's a sheesh for me this uh this new prompt here put rashid shaheed in the queue this is a season six throwback from last year ian must end each sentence with sheesh until otc to pick who he wants because didn't call your wasn't he the guy that kind of pushed up the jordan mation uh adp because he said he was going to be the lead back sheesh and now is he saying it's it's more aaron jones as well and a major sheesh uh kind of on all of us matthew kind of let me know that he actually did not say that but it was unfortunately uh clipped or aggregated by a certain someone to the point that everyone kind of believed in the wrong thing so luckily got the full answer sheesh out of him uh this time around speaking of sheesh though she support will be back this year everyone so that is something i am looking forward to on monday getting all the beyond the box score she stuff out back out in front of things so yeah man because that was my initial thing i was so happy to talk to him and i not so much jordan mason sheesh uh all right sheesh let's make a pick here rico dowdle rj harvey uh quentin johnson lemon reed down let's get rico so uh that is music to my ears because yesterday we did a ship chasing high stakes draft uh ffpc and aaron jones was just falling like a rock we took him out like pick 145 and i'm like we're we're taking aaron jones here jordan mason went i want to say literally four rounds higher than aaron jones in that in that draft and i was pretty stoked about that price on jones i mean they're both pretty cheap and like more redrafts lands and not but it shouldn't be that big of a gap between them especially so i hear you what uh did he have any other good uh nuggets obviously people should uh check it out uh what what how are you feeling about like addison and juwan jennings yeah i mean he was actually pretty high in addison just being able to make some big plays like he's been able to do before and he said he could see the chemistry uh with kyler and him having worked out you know he's been able to do at the high school fields throughout the summer juwan and hawkinson he was saying how like he thinks it's the deepest kind of group of overall skill position players that they've had at least since he's been covering the team but you know i actually respected this a lot about him he was like i don't think there's gonna be enough volume for uh juwan and hawkinson to get there as well because as we know pete you read some of these beauty reporter stories and you know everyone's gonna have uh 90 targets and 800 yards out here so very good players good offensive situation he's feeling like his hot take was there'll be a top 10 rushing offense though overall so yeah he does still believe in some good uh mason if that offense has a hole with kyler is better man look mason and the vikings running backs they had the same carries inside the five yard line as the raiders last year so if they can just go from bad to even like decent to good mason can still be like you know i think post hype like a middle class man's david montgomery from what we've seen over the past few years all right ian uh this is a season two throwback ian must tweet out aj brown will not be a top 36 wide receiver this season or draft chris herndon you have a much bigger twitter following now than you did in season two so you get to decide would you rather draft chris herndon or have to tweet out aj brown will not be a top 36 wide receiver this season give me chris herndon i don't want to deal with this shit man give me chris herndon did you about i mean your mentions i mean you would you would immediately have to mute that one and uh and move on i can't believe it's still in the player pool too man that is uh that is wild what a miss man it was i'll give a shout out to matthew uh friedman here before he was even with fantasy like so i remember i had this stat with herndon and he averaged like it was like tight ends who averaged nine plus yards per target or something like that and it was a list of 12 dudes 11 of them were awesome and then we had chris herndon i told friedman and he was like you know ian everything he says fair and i see the list but if i had to pick one guy from that list who's going to turn out to be a complete bust uh it would probably be chris herndon so unfortunately uh was the case but i think it was a good list and i think it was a good list and i think it was a good we'll always have uh you know that one sick one-handed catch as a rookie always have that you will so uh this is you've gone two four eight in your prompts uh you know you did have to take chris godwin there that was on duane for not being able to spell c pat there um we then grabbed uh the very dirty sounding brock bowers came back with zay flowers uh josh allen shout out buffalo wild wings parker washington judarian price rico dowdle and now the first time that chris herndon has been drafted on the field and he's been drafted on the field and he's been drafted on the field on underdog all summer long doing our best to boost his adp at eight six so uh you know godwin a little bit of a reach herndon you know a little spicy but uh who knows i mean if if darren waller's back on another team why couldn't herndon pop up i've seen worse randomizer teams pete i don't think that's i don't think that's a reach to say what it what is your do you think uh someone asked me in the in the past draft uh you know is waller on the menu or is he cooked what would you say no i think he's fine i have him in that uh aranda gadston kenyon sadi dolchich ferguson tier where it's like they're they're not gonna work out but you can imagine what it'd be like it's not gonna work out but you know you can kind of talk yourself into it after a couple uh kind of big ways uh okay sweet this is gonna be another throwback here uh great day to be late i put russell wilson in the queue and you can't tell me who you want to take until there's one second on the clock and then if i can click it in time then we get them otherwise we're gonna praise the lord uh with russell wilson here the original prompt was tim tebow but i don't think tebow was in the player pool anymore so i changed it to russell wilson tebow i actually own a jets tebow jersey i should have put that on for this oh man how many how many jerseys do you own are you a big jersey guy not really it was my i've been in my uh my lame ass eight man home league fancy football team with the college buddies i want to say we're going on 15 years or something like that and we did we did punishments and the only freaking year i lost was year number one and uh the punishment was either we're tebow jersey every tuesday of class for a quarter and my school was so freaking nerdy that no one even asked me about it for 10 straight weeks not a hey man notice you're rocking that tebow jersey 10 straight tuesdays uh what's going on with that they're just like oh yeah that guy must like football cool okay this is what i'm gonna do i'm gonna read uh who's available but you're not gonna tell me until one second like menungai purdy pitts worthy bo nicks gainwell bill jared goff jacoby kyler kittle do you have a name in mind that you like yes okay i'm gonna i'm I think I might go with the – I don't know. Do I go with the type here? I would leave it. I would just say leave it where it's at. Okay. Five, four, three, two, one, go. We're done, guys. It can help you with practically anything on the web, like restoring a vintage motorcycle from a 50-page restoration block or finally break down that long article you've had open for weeks. Check responses, setup required, compatibility, and availability varies 18 plus. That first bite of your favorite sub followed by ice-cold Pepsi. Add a couple of friends, and now that's next level. Suddenly, the laughs get louder, the stories keep flowing, and the food tastes better because Pepsi brings out more flavor, more fun, and more of the moment. Food deserves Pepsi. That was sharp by me. I mean, so we got, wow, we got the influencer. The haters will say you cheated by putting top of the queue there for me, but you just wanted the best player out 103, which happened to be Kyle Menunga. I ain't need a running back. Haters can hate. That was, uh, I kind of cheated too because my instinct was to, what I generally do, like when I'm doing drafts with people and I do the queue, like, and they get a pick in at the last minute, I just remove the player from the queue, which my instinct did there. I don't know. We'll let the chat know if we really skirted the rules on that one. Having to click then draft is tough in one second. So I think the, we did it the only way you could possibly do it. What do you make of these Ben Johnson quotes where he's out here being like, I want to score more points than anyone has ever scored in the history of football. I love it. Isn't that exactly what you want to hear from your offensive minded play call? And that's what dude, like the whole DJ more thing. It's going to be whoever, whatever side you're on, unless he just finishes like wide receiver 30, it's going to be so easy to bark at the other side. Cause he's trended so far down. I hear he wasn't a good fit in the system. It's like, I don't know. I think a lot of Ben Johnson couldn't have, he had figured out a way to use this dude if it actually worked. And then the other side's like, Oh yeah, Josh Allen's number one wide receiver is a wide receiver three. Why don't you draft him? You stupid idiot. Yeah, I know. I drafted with Liam yesterday and he made me draft DJ more. Um, he, you know, he, he got me sold on the thesis here. So he was on DJ more. No way. That's right. Okay. Uh, here, I know it's shocking. All right. Get ready to learn shark. Cue the next Jaguar line. Ian must name every NFL team. DJ shark was signed to in order to take who he wants here. Um, can you name in order DJ sharks progression? Through the league? I have the answer up here. Obviously got drafted with the Jaguars. Yup. I know I'm, I'm not answering right now. I know he's on the lions and Panthers as well. I feel like there was one in between that was also a cat. Maybe not. Was it lions number two? Yup. You got it. And then Panthers and I think that's when the cat streak ended. Cause we had the LSU tigers. I don't think there was a fourth one. Um, the Eagles. No. Um, I don't know. Um, the, I remember this four team. I don't even remember the fifth team. Who was the fourth team? He was on the chargers for a hot, for a cup of coffee. And then he was on another, not the Eagles, but another bird team as the fifth team. Who? Oh, what? The Falcons? Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Nice. I we're, we're going to give you Chris Rodriguez though. Uh, another Jacksonville Jaguar there, which honestly isn't the worst pick for you. Where, where do you fall in the great base shell tootin Chris Rodriguez wars. Real quick. It was funny with char. We did a, that one year of fancy life. We had our league and we had a guillotine and you had to do a punishment if you lost. And mine was, I had to put me out into every single tweet for like a day and I couldn't say anything about it. And I got one tweet to still go for like a thousand plus likes. And it was just like, yeah, DJ shark. Every single team he's played for has been like a cat meow. So like it actually kind of played into it. So it was able to, uh, help out the Eagles. Yeah. goal engagements for one day even playing along with that silly punishment but uh you say C-Rod Tootin yeah C-Rod Tootin you like the C-Rod uh value relative to Tootin's price uh it's fine it's I'm not going on my way for Lee either at this point I wanted to believe more in Tootin but just more and more man it feels like Bucky Jadarian between the 20s who has the better chance of having the higher upside breakthrough I think it's Tootin but I just thought the foot thing was gonna be a bigger issue potentially for C-Rod the fact he's already out there taking the short yardage work I'm thinking it's gonna be that annoying 40-40-20 man there's not that many of those in the league but you know I heard Evan Silva say maybe like five or six years ago it's like it's there's only so many workhorse running backs these days we can live with two back committees but when there's three guys out there that's when it's a lot tougher all right round 11 be robbed this prompt comes to us via Justin underscore red words here cue Trey Sermon which I did to take who he wants Ian must tell the chat how the OSU legend will take Brian Robinson's job here Trey Sermon over Brian Robinson let's hear it what a stretch from Trey Sermon when he went for 300 plus to win the big 10 title against Northwestern and then comes back and helps lead Ohio State in their first ever victory over Clemson what the hell has Brian Robinson ever done that that's cool Brian Robinson who couldn't freaking last in one of the worst RB rooms in the league in Washington last year then goes to Sam Fran with the running back whisperer himself Kyle Shanahan guess who lasted longer with Kyle Shanahan than Brian freaking Robinson Trey Sermon did all right and yeah did he take CMC's job no but neither did be Rob we were talking about someone who fits Kevin Stefanski and Tommy Reese's system to an absolute tee and the idea that Brian Robinson just because he got what maybe a million or two more than Trey Sermon on the open market let the best man win it's a meritocracy in this league through and through and the best man for this job is Trey Sermon is Trey freaking Sermon wow I mean this is that's right up there with the Buffalo Wild Wings as a very convincing case I don't even think I can draft Brian Robinson anymore after hearing that so isn't it funny though Pete where I can just say in that and I'm like I'm like he's such a better system fit it's like who the fuck knows if he's a better system but if you say it if you say it convincingly people believe you you know so much so many such cases of being confident uh you know doing a lot of work for you um Chuck likely Jalen Coker Debo Samuel uh Shakir with Alan Shahid who do you like so Coker let's get some coke heads going here hell yeah what what's your take on all I mean we mentioned Darren Waller uh I feel like the Panthers we now get the shake up Chuba has the uh what that the hammy now um everybody likes Ted Roy everybody likes Coker but is also terrified of Bryce Young where you out with the Panthers you yeah dude it's just we talk about Bears quarterbacks not hitting 4,000 Bryce barely gets to 3,000 dude so hasn't been the best offense but I don't know that it still exactly looks all that good like we're bringing Waller in which helps it's better than Sanders but just not I think it's gonna be Tedderall McMillan as like a borderline wide receiver too if Brooks can take over the backfield by all means but I'm just again finding better options to collect pretty much anyone from this Panthers offense right now yes um all right we now have uh a prompt this is a Twitter search I'm gonna search Twitter find a blurb saying a player is in the best shape of my life um I also am not logged in over on this uh this one here so let me get logged in and I will uh well because I've been switching up my browsers uh so I'm in uh I'm in Firefox right now for this so let me know what what well also all of the overlay tools uh okay are now uh you know primarily over in Firefox I'm gonna do that here you've been asking anything yes geez yeah exactly um let me uh get in my uh now I have to do two-factor authentication because I've not been in here this is gonna be a sweat guys can we get in in time here who did I have to put in the queue oh David Bell oh my god I know we're gonna do this finest all right here we go I cannot find this okay let's see yeah uh I feel like Jordan Mason had a quote somewhat recently best shape of life let's see here um okay this is Alex oh this is from like 2023 here oh my god this is so how about this one dude this is from 2022 Green Bay wide receiver coach Marley Rogers in the best shape of his life uh if we find it that we we did we found one uh here's one from Levitan from 2024 uh best Najee Harris in the best shape of his life I think we did it with Amari Rogers who do you want to take here Goddard Malik Willis Tyrone Tracy Darnold uh Tracy all right let's get Tyrone Tracy here by the way I like how Levitan's tweet was like this is all ridiculous and he's like but Najee Harris this year man I think based on this isn't that true dude like I I do it too like I think everybody does it to an extent where you're just like yeah man like there's a lot of fluff there's a lot of noise in these training camp reports but then it's like but did you see Jacoby Lane make that catch i mean come on right i mean come on did you see aj brown cross up sauce garden jacoby lane stuff is crazy too because like this is this is what he does he had a sick reel of one-handed catches at usc and every single highlight is just another fun contested catch so i will say with the jacoby thing and you know i'll talk to dwayne again about this soon we're getting some uh real-time sports drafts getting fired up but like i don't want to just say like oh i need to draft jacoby lane over this guy because of draft capital like i don't want to do that with draft capital but when it's the same team when like i like chris bell but when the dolphins draft caleb douglas over chris bell just like the ravens actively drafting jacoby over sarat like i feel like that matters yeah it does um but the browns counterpoint also drafted dylan gabriel over shadir sanders and look how that's play it out brother so weird man so weird what were they thinking you yeah also elah did really ruin twitter search it's completely unusable for things like that um all right clean living cue the next player from a california team ian must retrieve a fruit or vegetable before the next pick to take who he wants all right i'm not doing my green powder this time but i do like it okay yeah i mean the fact that you had to consider even the green powder tells me there are not a lot of fruits and vegetables in your house right now let's see uh cue the next player from a california team houston indy tango let's keep scrolling here uh jacksonville arizona uh oh this is i mean what are my my california teams we'll go uh san fran so the next one be calen black the raiders are in vegas now we could do chargers oh he doesn't like gadsden we'll put him in there what do you need that broccoli for i got broccoli because i'm married now wow i was gonna say like the amount of vegetables that you have to have gone up tenfold since you got married do i have to eat it i hope not uh no yeah i mean you you should probably take a bite it's just good for you like i'm not gonna tell you not to eat your vegetables it's a gross man um eat this all right your punishment had you not been able to procure vegetables would have been a ronde gadsden instead you could take daniel jones as your second qb omar cooper hunter henry jaylen mcmillan anyone you like here uh i still need a second qb yeah that's not good yeah i'll take uh jones you want some dimes here all right dimes come on down colts are gonna suck right can we all agree on that are they are we are you worried that daniel jones isn't going to be full health yeah he tore his right achilles in december well alec pierce is certainly not going to be full health um i could see i definitely agree with you that they're a fragile team like if if if if jones is not fragile he's not going to be full health they could get off the rails quickly but the team's telling us he's fine right like we haven't seen any bearish reports on jones's health yeah but we heard kirk cousins was fine then week one came around it's like oh yeah he can't line up under center yet so i know jones is younger man but your field stretcher has an ankle and now heel surgery like i'm just thinking 90 jones and i don't know pete maybe jones looks a little more like the guy we saw for six years than 10 weeks just just saying it's a possibility you know that's right uh oh man i'm just realizing this this prompt here i need to uh i i had downloaded this one yet but i'm going to get this very quickly from my google drive here this one came in late this morning but we have a few seconds here so the prompt is going to be charter chart three a retirement story put the next atlanta wide receiver in the queue ian must correctly

charred or charred uh let's spin again here um because we are cooking in this draft we are about to head to round 15 season 6 throwback serial offender without looking ian must name at least three ingredients one might find in granola to take who he wants have you learned granola ingredients since then get two plus correct draft whoever otherwise draft a player who has a reputation for suspension risk i like how that's my uh that's my like uh inclusion in the intro just not knowing anything about granola uh even though my wife my wife makes me these granola yogurt bowls and they are delicious i still have no idea what's in them she puts uh can you have chia seeds and granola uh yeah yeah no for sure you can have chia seeds and granola chia seeds uh what else did she put in those things oh uh pomegranate seeds sometimes pomegranates that's a thing sure sure they're great and uh what else cinnamon i don't know yes yes cinnamon i here i'm gonna pull up uh i'm gonna pull up a

oil deep fruit optional um i'm impressed ian you you being domesticated you have really grown you are now an adult it sucks doesn't it i still got the three dogs no uh no little ones running around yet that's when uh we'll have to really pick our game up but uh yeah i don't know all right two five five two you're pretty balanced here uh you want to look at wide receivers you like tesla wicks malik washington zachariah branch tank dell could you tell us a little bit about what you're doing right now i'm doing a lot of i'll do mendoza with brock bowers if you want a third quarterback yeah sure let's go mendoza i saw a note saying uh mendoza could be still live to maybe win the job by week one i mean you mentioned the thing with cousins i mean it's just like he's got to be fully cooked man like there's just no way this is gonna work i just don't see it going longer than five weeks because they they're in new england week five and so like they're gonna get blown out there and mt's gonna be like oh my god i'm gonna be like oh my god i'm gonna be like oh my god just gonna make the call like i can't do this guys give me mendoza because what was it it was may lasted was it like was it week five or six when brissette uh yeah something like that in brissette like is what was way better and younger at the time than kirk cousins is now i just i really don't buy into the uh like putting them out there is just gonna hinder his performance or we had the justin fields thing a couple years ago it's like well you can't play against that team because they have a good defensive end you can't play them against that team because they have another good defensive end like i just think they learn more from going out there man and figuring it out but i'm also not a doctor or football coach so all right this is in honor of your seventh appearance on the show randomizer night live i'm gonna put the next seven tight ends in the queue and for every celebrity you can name who has hosted snl seven plus times you can remove one i found seven uh you know celebrities who have hosted the show um and for you can name i will remove the worst tight end in the queue here so you want to take stabs at the seven timers club did norm mcdonald get there norm mcdonald did not get there oh bad start i will say all of these names are household names except maybe one of them will ferrell let's see will ferrell did not get there you got it you got to go a little bit more uh deep in the bag here jimmy he just said their household names jimmy jimmy fallon oh i mean you got to go back you got to go back a couple decades older snl oh man i guess i'm missing out on my snl burt reynolds he was just in the sketch it wasn't even him no i'm gonna put i think i'm taking the hell on this one let's see a couple of them you're gonna beat yourself up on i'm sure i will who's like okay yeah all right six seconds here name uh an iconic snl cast member even from from way back when um i thought i named a couple of them fuck okay here you go uh you did time out which means you got evan ingram uh this is a fail on this one so alec baldwin 17 appearances okay steve martin 16 appearances john goodman 13 appearances the one i said wasn't a household name buck henry 10 appearances uh not to be confused with bucky irving or derrick henry uh tom hanks 10 appearances got it you know tom hanks a go-to chevy chase an snl legend eight appearances in then christopher walken seven appearances there damn disappointing performance by me you know it's a it's all right it was you know to honor you for your seventh appearance um it will be uh likely impossible for anyone to ever catch you in that regard so i hope you feel uh have you seen norms though when he came back for the first time after he got fired yes yeah that shit was so funny they fired me and now i'm hosting the show yeah that's shane gillis got to do the do the same thing getting fired and coming back so funny yeah there's been some infamous ones over that you know i guess maybe not as popular jenny slate uh was a new cast member there and she like accidentally said the f-bomb during one of her sketches and then like immediately gave her the boot it's like come on relax relax all right two more rounds here with ian harditz the seventh uh randomizer draft for him a certain shade of green cue the next jet ian must retrieve three green objects of different shades to show us he knows what green is to take who he wants can you get us three different shades of green here surprisingly easy first of all i got a nice little fantasy life draft guide right here yeah yeah jeremiah love sounds good i got this old soldier from uh grandpa harditz this little guy yeah hanging out and conveniently i got uh the broccoli that i just had to go get earlier so boom boom boom wow look at those why is my hat green oh no that's just my screen never mind everything's going green for you now uh there you go uh all right that that was a layup there you nailed that um let's see who do you want you have three five five three you probably want a wide receiver do you like calvin ridley you like uh uh kashon booty ted hurst antonio williams let's go booty let's get it the dirty booty what are you do you buy that one best training camp of all time according to new england beat reporters i mean he was pretty freaking sick last year man derrick stingling checks his uh closet for kashon booty every night so i chiefs the colts i mean that's the thing look the fact that the colts gave away ad mitchell for nothing last year and now we're talking about like 34 year old keenan allen saving the day someone needs to go trade for booty man that's the dude who could actually come in and give you a little bit of uh you know downfield presence i'm glad this one came up for the for the last prompt actually we might have to do back to back because one of the other multimedia prompts didn't come up and we got to make sure we hit this but this one is the one that i'm going to is ian um this is called win or lose in states who won the game from images of ohio state versus michigan and if you get two plus right you get to take whoever otherwise you have to draft a player who went to michigan here so let me pull up some of these games um this is the first one here um do you recognize this let me get this off the screen do you recognize this shot here yeah game winner baby 2016 classic go buck us all right uh curtis samuel 15 yard rushing td to secure the victory in ot let's do right after jt barrett barely freaking got the first down harbaugh was furious that was a michigan win hassan haskins had freaking five touchdowns they snapped like a 10-year freaking losing streak wow aiden hutchinson with three sacks in that game as well all right final pick here you already got two can you go three for three helps when you know all the plays jj never lost against us and i forgot the word quarterback ever just undefeated against ohio state freaking freaking dude jj mccarthy they won yeah harbaugh suspended for this game led by of course jj mccarthy colston loveland in blake quorum their different trajectories for uh for those guys in their careers here dude kyle mccora was driving them down too got pressured tried to throw it to marv picked off that that ohio state 2023 team was ridiculous uh in a bad way it really was uh well you you clearly know your uh your ohio state uh trivia there so grats to you uh who do you want for this final pick and then i am going to have you play a game of lily or lily just for fun because it didn't come up on lily or lily yes sounds good we'll go with uh what's a wide receiver i really yeah we're in like ted hurst antonio williams jeremy bernard keenan allen caleb douglas darnell mooney i'll go keenan you know it's funny you i'm glad you did do keenan there because you to cover for alec pierce would make so much more sense than signing keenan allen to cover for alec pierce yeah a hundred percent i mean keenan if anything i think he'd fit nice in kansas city they don't throw the ball that well downfield anyway and like they just kind of need someone who can run a real route that's not just you know a slant or a screen like rashid rice so keenan be nice there i also do like the idea though of kansas city turning new england like their farm system they brought in taekwon thor now they could bring in kashon booty so i would enjoy that bit yeah wed they just send them kind of like a little bit of a break from the kyle williams jalen polk all right just keep it going yeah um dude i remember there were there were points where i think i drafted taekwon thornton in like round 10 or 11 uh one of those years said uh well you know never never wrong just early uh all right this technically doesn't have a prompt because we just wrapped up but i would be remiss if we didn't get to play lily or lily here um to take whoever you want ian must state if pictures are of flowers or of a dog to lily get two plus right um so this first one is this lily the flower or lily the dog i'm gonna go lily the flower no it's a dog it's a dog so it's not actually my black lily no yeah it's any dogs uh okay is this lily a flower or lily a dog i'm gonna lily the lily a dog oh a flower no that is a lily here uh okay right here look closely i'm gonna zoom in for you that's fur it's a dog oh he got you good he got you good look at that flower i've ever seen look at that that was a nice poll there uh that's a good job production team lily a dog you can't go three straight flowers on me uh yeah it's actually lily look at that tongue look at the tug yeah dude she's so obsessed with balls she was like she was just laying next to a tennis ball but

one flower or dog flower no lily the dog got you with a little bit of grass oh that's puppy lily puppy lily i think i got her in uh covid but uh she always i figured out bro she'd sneak into the pantry when we uh would just like go to the gym at night and she would work finally like she dragged out the bag of dog food and i was just sitting in the middle of the kitchen so i was like oh that's what you've been doing you've been eating the bag of dog food when i leave every night but finally took her to the vet we got her to 25 pounds and they were like you know what we don't need to lose
