🎉 Danny Heifetz Loves Beach Ham & Hates Bad Teams

The show starts with Pete introducing Danny Heifetz to the Randomizer, a chaotic fantasy football draft with random challenges. Danny, unprepared, faces prompts like a retirement speech for Joe House, guessing Cloyce Box’s wife’s name (Fern), and impersonating Bill Simmons and his dad about Patriots drama. He drafts a zero-RB team, selecting Jamar Chase, Nico Collins, Trey McBride, Luther Burden, and later Joe Burrow, embracing the strategy. Danny retrieves University of Richmond spider memorabilia, passes a pronunciation test (though missing "bourgeois"), and correctly identifies Kingpin photos, avoiding punishments. He discusses his pronunciation dyslexia, the beach ham tradition from his podcast, and a humorous incident searching Will Levis online at work. He also pitches a buddy comedy with Danny Kelly and shares fantasy hot takes, like penalizing players on losing teams. After the draft, Pete transitions to the Bash, drafting with member Willis in a Pit Bull contest. Willis builds a team with CMC, Malik Neighbors, Mike Evans, and Trey McBride, discussing player values and sharing a story about sniping BBG in a past draft. The segment ends with light banter about fantasy strategies and Willis’s drafting habits.

Ladies and gentlemen, it is Thursday, which means it is time for the doubleheader randomizer followed by the best ball bash and I am very excited about our guest today someone I've never done a show with it's none other than Danny Heifetz from the ringer and we are going to put him through the randomizer ringer today to kick things off and then we will of course have the bash where you guys YouTube members can hop on stream and draft with me, but without further ado, let's get to it. Kyle Pitts, can you do some for me? Can you score a couple of touchdowns for me? Green was the color of the grass where I used to read at the 10-0 park. We're going tight and in the early round. Whoa! Did we have to resize? Mom, okay, you can't, don't say anything weird. Welcome to the randomizer. Pete, take it away. Wow, wow, I just realized I have all of these old intros in my like stream yard hopper, Danny, and I just played the old randomizer intro. There is a new one, but you got to get the throwback version of it today. I like that one better. I like John Daigle and all the weird outfits that didn't bring any crackers to eat. I feel like I'm underprepared, man. I don't have anything weird with me. Well, by the end of this show, you might be forced to procure some weird things for you. Maybe some some beach ham. I know. That's that's one of your things here. So excited to draft with you today. You guys can see it on screen. We need three more people. This is one of those self-contained leagues. It's just a $3 draft, 12 person fast draft. Need three more there, and then we can get off to the races. One of the questions I always have to ask, you know, guests who are, you know, uninitiated, how familiar are you with what's about to happen here? Just enough to know that I'm in trouble, but not enough to be prepared. Perfect. Perfect. Yeah. Did you? Was there any? Have you seen any other clips? You know, how coming in blind are you here? I've watched your show before, but I don't feel prepared at all. Is that like a good way to put it? I don't really understand what's going to happen. I understand the format vaguely. I don't feel like I have a grip on what I'm actually going to have to do. So I'm a little terrified. Well, then I think we have you right where we want you here. Shout out to the chat. We need one more. Uh, for you guys to hop in and do this draft. Yes. As Jonathan says, the less prepared, the better here as this fills though. How is your, your fantasy season going? Obviously we just flipped the calendar to August. It is, it is go time. You guys cranking out pods over there at the ringer. Yeah, man. Ringer fantasy football show. If you want like the three people who scream. Yeah. But whether you can bring ham to the beach or how to pronounce almond, then like, is there an Ellen almond? Then like, we're the show for you. So, but yeah, it's great because all the picks I've made are great and none of them are terrible. Yeah. And I don't hate any of the players in my teams yet, which will change pretty quickly. That's right. Yeah. Do you, uh, do you end up doing any of these best ball drafts? Are you more of a, a redraft guy? What kind of action do you generally get down? I do some best ball, but I'm not a best ball, bro. I like reg, you know, it's like safe missionary. I like fantasy football and 10 and 12 team leagues with, you know, three receiver slots. Max. I like, you know, like straight down the middle of the fairway. I'm, you know, not, uh, I don't venture too deep into the dark forest. I like best ball, but I'm not great at it. And it's. Just, uh, like a tobacco niche that kind of gets me to the season, honestly. Well, here's the thing. We are off to the races. We have the one Oh three. So I'm already spinning here and here is our first prompt. Uh, this is called NFL retirement. I need to cue a future pro ham golfer in booking conversations for this show. Ringer colleague, Joe house described himself as washed regarding NFL and fantasy football. Danny must give Joe a proper NFL retirement sendoff speech before the next pick to take who he wants. Can you give Joe the retirement speech he deserves here real quick? Absolutely house. It was really nice, uh, knowing you we've had, you know, we've had a great relationship and it's been great watching you cover the NFL, but house, unfortunately, you know, they took the parlays from you first. I mean, they, back in your day, they did teasers. They don't even have NFL teasers anymore. Everything's minus one 60. The game's passed you by and it, you know, not everyone knows when to hang them up. So I'm house. I'm glad you know when to hang them up, but you know, so long farewell. All right. Uh, you passed. You want chase or puka? Yeah. I can barely read this. Jamar. Uh, you know what? This is a crazy thing. Isn't it? Give me a, give me, give me puka. Screw it. Uh, did I get it in time? No, I didn't. Sorry. You got chase. Oh no. Yeah. So that's good. Cause now I have an excuse if that doesn't work, but there you go. Yeah. And I will, I am going to do my bed. There's a lot going on here. Like I said, the one Oh three, I told you before the draft starts and I'll, I'll boost this board size a little bit bigger here. So you can, you can fully see what we're working with, but having the one Oh three is tricky because right now we have a decent. A decent amount of time until we pick again. That's fine. But right after we make the second round pick, we're going to have to go bang, bang right into the next prompt there. So settle in, uh, you know, it's like week one, you know, at the beginning of the season, you know, all the, no one knows the assignments. No one can play week one. It's always like way less, all the unders hit every, you know, it's the first round, you know, we're going to get into the flow. Do you, uh, do you guys have any like internal company, uh, fantasy leagues with, you know, uh, big stakes, whether bragging rights or monetary over at the ringer? It's funny that, so we have the ringer fantasy football league, which we'll be doing a live Netflix draft for that at some point later this August. Uh, and that's fun. And we have just completely failed at enforcing punishments or rewarding things. So we, we also have this ringer one Oh seven contest, like a gambling contest and the fantasy guys won and beat all the gambling experts and they didn't give us anything. We didn't get anything. And this year they're like, the winner gets to go to Vegas. We're like, what about us? We want to go to Vegas. It's so, yeah, no, we're not good at that. Do what is, uh, what is your most, uh, importantly, or the league you care about? The most, uh, honestly, it's just the older leagues, right? It's the ones I started when I, when I was like eight, my, my brother's four years older than me. He was a senior in high school. I was a freshman and he wouldn't win the league with his friends for a long time. So I got in finally when I was in like eighth grade. So that one is probably the league I want to win the most, but I cursed myself, uh, the ancient native American burial grounds. Uh, I won the league two years in a row. I then changed my name to three P and then I haven't made the playoffs since. Yeah, that, that was the classic, uh, self jinx there. Uh, all right. We are going to spend here for round two. We'll see if we can have a little extra time for this prompt to make sure we're ready for the third round as well. This comes from Jonathan in the chat. I will admit, I don't fully get this reference. So you're going to have to help me out. This is Cloyce box code names. Heifetz must give Pete clues for him to guess the name of Cloyce boxes wife. If he fails draft the third Detroit lied by ADP. Can you want to explain this to me and then execute the prompt? You don't know. Close. Box. You must not know ball. One of the greatest Americans to ever live. I don't know. But Cloyce box is like, it's our, it's our, their favorite joke and player in the history of the show. It's like, if you look up all the records, Jimmy or Gibbs is broken. It's just breaking Cloyce box from the fifties world war two hero. His wife's name. Think of like plants in the jungle, kind of like Jurassic park. What are the plants that kind of going through on that understory ground level? You know? Okay. Shrubs close to kind of shrub. Okay. A kind of shrub. Like, uh, it starts a, B, C, D. Uh, F G, uh, backward, colder. Yeah. I liked it. Oh, F. Yeah. Like a shrub. Flora and fauna. Uh, let's see here. Shrubs. Not too many letters between three and five. Ferns. Ferns. Yes. Okay. Whoo. All right. Between the two. Fern box, baby. Okay. We did it. All right. Between the two ferns. I should have done that. Here we go. So, uh, you get to pick who you want here. Uh, and then I'm going to spin right away. We're looking at a bunch of wide receivers, Drake, London, Nick. Go, uh, you know, Pickens neighbors hours there. I should be picking. No hours is gone. McBride or the running backs left. Oh God. How much time you got? Jeremiah love Brees hall. I hate them. Uh, it's great. It's going to have to be receiver. Then Nico Pickens, rice, neighbors, Devante. Just give me Nico. That's fine. Okay. We're going to give you Nico. We're going to let the clock run down here. You are, you're two for two on these. Let's spin here for our third prompt drafting with the ringers. Danny. Danny Heifetz. He is getting trial by fire here. Coaching carousel. Q Jalen Polk. Danny and Pete have a dialogue as Bill Simmons and his dad, Dr. Bill about the Vrabel Russini drama until the next pick to take who they want here. Uh, do you want to be Bill or do you want to be Dr. Bill? Um, this is terrifying. Uh, I know I'll be, I'll be Dr. Bill. I'll be, I'll be Bill's dad. I don't know. I don't know, man. This, this, this situation doesn't seem good at all. Doesn't seem good at all for the Patriots. I'm worried about it. I mean, it's Vrabel focus. He's bringing a puppy. He's bringing a puppy up to the, up to the stand here. Seems like he's hiding something. Mike's a pros pro Mike's a pros pro. I don't think it's going to affect the team. They got AJ Brown. It's fine. It's I don't understand. I think, I think they should trade Keishon booty distract from the distraction. You get him out of there. Nobody will be thinking about Russini anymore. They'll just be thinking about pop. Douglas sliding into that three wide receiver set. You know, I know you're talking about the booty, the receding thing. I still can't get over this Jalen Brown's thing. I can't believe Jalen Brown's on the six years. Still. I, this is the biggest rival we've got. Oh my God. I haven't been this hurt about somebody leaving new England since Gronk went to Tampa Bay. Okay. I'm going to give you that one. You get to pick whoever you want. It is a ton of wide receivers. Devante Smith, Trey McBride, Brees Hall, Zay Flowers, Crystal Lave. Uh, oh my God. Oh, the running back. Oh, take down Trey McBride. Screw it. Okay. we'll do trey mcbride here now we have started this draft jamar chase nico collins trey mcbride do you have a stomach for a zero rb build yes great this is already insane enough whatever i'm probably gonna get fired from impersonating bill's dad so who cares zero running backs nothing at that point uh there you go yeah no i um i don't want anyone to lose their job because of of this show so uh if it needs to get scrubbed from the internet i'll fall on this one i'll talk to bill you know i work really closely with matthew berry over at fantasy life i know him and bill are friends if anything happens danny i'll have matthew put in a call we'll smooth this all over okay yeah matt will just give me your job yes that's that's how we smooth it's over you'll fall in the store like a real event i appreciate that's really kind of you there you go there you go jamar chase nico collins trey mcbride do you have any um you know early early draft season hot takes guys you don't want to leave your your draft without are you still kind of formulating those i guess the thing i'd say my hot take is about best ball versus real i think that my issue with fantasy coverage sometimes i think there's a gap that the spreadsheets and projections don't cover which is the emotional toll of having to live with players on bad teams i feel like it does not capture the feeling of oh garrett wilson's ranked 40th and i'm like you have to watch the jets for like four months in your free time and that just never gets talked about and i'm like signing up to watch terrible teams is almost never worth whatever plus cv you have gathered in the process and we're trying to cut toxic people out of our life at the rigor fantasy football show i don't want players on bad teams it's not fun no it's a good point too especially from the the sweat element of it where there's a lot of times where those guys they they do their they reach their projection in garbage time but you have to sit through three and a half quarters of absolute misery and so if you if you're someone like me like i can kind of be like you know watch red zone i'm not gonna have to go turn on that jets game but if this is your one team and you have breeze hall and garrett wilson and you have to watch those guys week in and week out that that sounds rough man that's the thing it's so easy and again best ball has taken the game like so much further but i do think that when it's a portfolio you're like yeah i'm garrett wilson i'm like well when it's your all your life savings are there oh god yes i love how your fear with every prompt uh sandwich wars cue the next stealer or eagle danny must advocate for sheets or wawa as the official sandwich shop of the university of richmond and include his standard order as part of the pitch to take who he wants are you on team sheets or wawa danny and what's the order what team team wawa for sure wawa is mid-atlantic wawa for pennsylvania pennsylvania is going to say sheets but wawa is so much better i have ordered more sandwiches than i care to admit before and after midnight at both places i would say i think wawa you know what people i think chicken cutlet uh well i guess chopped lettuce is pretty pretty tough right now so let's keep the lettuce out for cyclospora reasons but i would say let's go uh chicken cutlet let a tomato red onion buffalo sauce that like weird i don't want to know what's in it really bright orange buffalo sauce um tomato and hot pepper banana peppers jeez don't now now you're doing this to me at 12 15 p.m eastern and i haven't eaten today uh that is cruel uh that sounds great uh good by the way you look you look what's your routine you got what what are you eating are you on the matt harman diet or what what what is what is harman eating these days just eggs he's broke just eggs uh no i try to stay you know uh keep things pretty simple at lunch with salads uh you know summer indulgent a little bit you know too much drinking too much uh too much ice cream but yeah we try to we try to keep it in check here um you're about to pick though uh let's see here luther burden loveland if you want to go two tight ends evans if you are looking at the running backs you got like moncler swift tootin anyone jump out to you here i think it's got to be burden or tootin right do you want to stick with the zero running back thing and just have a hell of a time let's do it i mean i'm having a hell of a time as is and now we're going to do zero rb now let's do burden it's fun i i was i was a burden resist i resisted oh we have to do the thing to get burdened oh god i thought no no we already got burdened this is for the second one i just know we have a tight turnaround here this is called humanities major danny at times fumbles the english language he must pronounce plus of the presented words correctly so this is a multimedia prompt that i need to pull up here uh one second uh someone sent in a list of all of these props here let me get this pulled up one second uh and you can tell me the backstory on all of these words here but let's do this first i have a loose grip on the english language for somebody who talks into a microphone for money all right okay can you see these on on the uh right here bureaucracy cacophony epitome february no gnocchi hors d'oeuvre hyperbole cachet is that i don't know if it's a doctor or a dinosaur well phenomenon penalties i get that one wrong a lot penalties rural juror and uh the last one maestro i did see the clip of this most recent one i can't spell i what about the uh the first one there you did miss that bourgeois okay and then did you want to take a stab at this one no i i don't even know that's not auto rhino lord lorian jawless that one's tough that person there's no way there's no way that that's real so you you got more than three plus correct so do you want uh montgomery judkins hendo bucky you want a running back here should we go jmo let's do it screw let's go jmo i don't like all this stuff i don't like all this stuff i don't look cool sexy i don't i'm out on henderson i just like i think romano is going to just play all season and everyone's going to be mad about it the whole time yes what i mean it is a crazy thing about you know broadcasting and i stream all of the time and you do find yourself in spots where it's like i've read this word a bunch and i've never said it out loud and now i feel like i'm going to go for it at the risk of looking like an idiot uh it sounds like you found yourself in a similar spot here i have what my former boss bill simmons who i've known for a long time and who's going to fire me after he watches this um i have what bill simmons calls pronunciation dyslexia which is uh basically it's when you learn a lot of words from reading but then you're so confident that your pronunciation in your head is right you just say it out loud so things i've said wrong uh i used to say maestro it's words that aren't english it's maestro um i pronounced quinnian mitchell went to toledo i called it toledo like it was in fucking spain yeah uh i just i i almonds i say the l dolphins i the dolphins i i people i say pounties like it rhymes with more keys pouncey like i just yeah i can't speak well no i i fall into the same boat my my wife always roasts me i always say like wolves i always drop the l i always say wolves and she's like what's the mascot for minnesota i'm like timber wolves and she's like wolves wolves wolves where is that from that's what always interests me is it really is how how is that possible i don't i don't know maybe it's a and abrasive yeah no i i grew up in denver so yeah i don't know where that where that stuff comes from it's just now become a part of who we are but now that it's a bit right now you just have to be on high alert whenever you're podcasting it's it's become like more of my brand than i ever realized was oh yeah the host who can't talk that yeah i love that guy hey you know it's what it's what make the podcast fun uh here's the team we got a zero rb squad so far uh jamar chase nico mcbride luther burden jameson williams we are gonna spin here for our sixth round pick we'll do anything for watson to fall to us i can't believe i didn't take him beach okay beach ham pete and danny propose increasingly outlandish off-label uses for the ham you order for a beach house vacation first to stall loses winner makes the pick i'll kick it off to you what's something else we could use beach ham for here oh you just use it to like a straw you just drink your drink through the beach ham slice i think if you forgot uh you know coasters you know for your drinks you just throw it down there put your drink right on top of that beach ham what i like is the leftover beach ham you put on the ground and you kind of walk on it so the sand doesn't get over and just kind of walk out across the floor like it's okay i think look maybe you guys forgot a football i say you use it as a frisbee just play a little beach ham toss in the front yard toss it around the pigskin and while you're at it at the beach life float device you know you just cling to it like the titanic if they had more hand they would have been fine do you think it's buoyant enough to actually support you floating in the water yeah it wasn't hypothetical i have to do that every year okay i think you know maybe you forgot sunscreen and you kind of just flop them all over your face to uh protect your skin it could also be kind of like a cucumber mask maybe have some moisturizing elements to it i think i stalled shit i was kind of like man that's a good idea i can't believe i haven't tried that yeah uh as we i look like i get to make the pick here actually let's spin just so we can stay on track for this next prompt and then we can talk more about beach ham because uh i loved uh that bit from the podcast all right arachnologist here danny must retrieve

university of richmond where i went to school if you look closely what's the the only aspect of all spiders you know about how many legs do they have eight yeah what do you know does that have what is it seven no well no so if you notice it's an optical it really it doesn't actually have the old richmond logo it's actually because it's sorry it's eight legs but there's there's not three parts of the body you know three parts this is a tick the university of richmond logo by accident is a tick it's not a spider so even though they're the only spiders in all of college sports it's actually a tick wow wow uh who would you say is the most notable uh alumnus from richmond freaking little dicky honestly yeah probably like little dicky or like there's an astronaut who didn't go to space he's great he was testing underwater got near thing he's the astronaut with the golden retreat if you google that has to be the saddest resume item the astronaut who didn't go to space it sounds like a children's story he's a nice guy his name is leland melvin he is the golden retrievers in his official astronaut photo he's great but no it's richmond it's it's tim hightower the basketball player who couldn't make a basket the the host who can't talk that's the journalist who didn't know how to write a sentence of incredible incredible there um how did winding back though how did the uh the beach ham thing uh originally come about because my wife's family go to the beach you know honey baked ham yeah yeah of course like a spiral cut ham we'll go to the beach we'll we'll get a high spy like a spiral baked uh spiral cut honey baked ham put it in the fridge and then i said like yeah we bring a hand metaphorically like a trick yeah and then danny kelly and craig both were like oh you bring a ham to the a whole ham like you're frank from sunny you're bringing a rum ham to the beach and going to like what are you crazy and then i was like screw you guys you don't get it you're la don't even eat processed meats or whatever i'm like i'm a red-blooded american i eat processed meats and cubes i don't know but so when you when you do the the beach ham move because like you know having you

little honey crisp around that it's incredible honestly i thought it was nuts too but until you've had it you just don't understand like there's you just don't get it i don't need i feel the need to defend myself because i just know people who haven't had it are confused no do you get judged from other people that's the only other constantly okay okay we do have prompt we need to do here this is called buddy comedy we're gonna put the next ambiguous back field running back in the queue danny and pete pitch a buddy comedy to chat studio execs that is our chat where ringer nfl pod co-host danny heifetz and danny kelly are on the run from a cult of rewatchables podcast listeners if the chat green lights the movie take whoever what what movie would the rewatchables podcast listeners be upset at you guys for panning and you to go on the run i have to imagine the angriest that could make the rewatchables listeners would be like if i tried to botch midnight run which is like bill's one of bill's favorite movies and danny kelly and i just botch a version of midnight run that that that so midnight run and or yeah i guess we have a big briefcase and i think what you do you guys you go back into the archives and you remove the the rewatchables the original midnight run and you guys put your version in there and now anyone goes back to it they get the danny's version there that would be pretty good actually that's a good idea yeah and then we have to go on the run that's good yeah they're they're after you and now it's it's kind of stolen valor you guys are going through the archives and putting your spin on all of this and you are kind of just man this is you're gonna get fired again from bill trying to wipe all of this rehired just to fire me that's good that's good all

plenty of good weeks where do you fall on all of the jump scares we get like from fantasy twitter where it's like manung guy has cramps and we don't know if he's out for the rest of the year or if he's going to be back after a single water break i am very anti the cycle i so i actually started my career i've had like the benjamin button career where i started kind of like i actually started on a beat like covering teams at training camp and so i've seen like i think the thing is quotes get transcribed and like a player will like i've seen players be talk about being homesick and they're hiding it and they're like yeah man i'm doing great but when i'm there looking at the others like yeah i'm i'm doing great and then they're on twitter and it's like he's doing great and i'm like that's not what he fucking said and then like the other one is the journalist will be like hey uh do you do you think luther burns poised for a second year breakout and the coach is just trained to repeat the answer because the reporter asking is not on a microphone so he's like do i think luther burns trade poised for youtube breakout yeah and then it's like head coach says youtube and this happens with patrick mahomes every year do you think the six round rookie is gonna have a great year yeah i think that six round rookie is gonna have a great year and i'm like it's so i and if i can't see the question being asked i don't give a shit at all yeah did you hear that roto world we don't give a shit unless we can see it i mean there was a stretch there and we're finally getting news right we have injury we have training camps but it was like two weeks ago where like one of the blurbs was afc exec thinks quinshawn judkins is going to get a lot of carries this year and i was like thank you thank you for that one uh you know i also think quinshawn judkins is gonna get a lot of carries but we're gonna aggregate that that's right that's right well yeah what what would be your what's the next million dollar fantasy football idea is it is it a a news aggregation site what what do we do to make money here uh i oh man do i just give away my ideas i think well first of all i don't think points i don't think players should get any points in fantasy if their team loses the game wow so you really are on only teams with good players i just like i just hate you should like you should be rooting for the players you have to win i also i and also i actually do think every league should be point per first down if you don't score a touchdown on a play the goal of every play is to get a first down you should have a point per first down at a point per catch but i do think you should just if your team loses they don't get any points i didn't i want to say one year the scott fishbowl scott fish had where you drafted coaches and you got points if for their wins so that kind of aligns with aligns with your thing there yeah i mean that would be pretty devastating you're telling me i do draft garrett wilson he goes for 30 points but the jets lose and so i don't get any of those points yeah that's don't take garrett don't take a jet in your fantasy league that's stupid okay so now so now you you're gonna have like guys on the browns going undrafted and so yeah so basically your idea is fantasy football but without half the player pool well yeah it's fantasy football what fantasy do you fantasize about the cleveland browns i fantasize about those deadzell boston uh points that they say yeah that's that one six to midnight all right viewing theory in honor of bill name a team who lost uh a key player in free agency this year who will be better in 2026 so example you know uh who would it be uh i guess the the lions are better without david montgomery etc something along those lines uh i think the easy answer is the eagles right losing aj brown i think that you know it's funny i don't think he gets davante smith gets brought up a lot the jackson smith and jayba thing and i hate the whole like who's the best outlier player from last year gonna be this year it's like mostly it doesn't happen again but the similarities of the eagles getting rid of aj brown and the seahawks getting rid of dk metcalf and elevating davante smith and elevating jsn there's a lot of similarities there whether hertz can pull it off or not it's just i don't know but i think the eagles will probably be a better team this year for sure yeah yeah that does feel like one of those addition by subtraction at least in the locker room too and like davante smith he can ball out they you know restock the cupboard with the rookies with don tavian wicks i i could see that one how do you think the the aj brown in new england thing is gonna go do you think that's gonna work out very bullish for him this season i think if i'm a real life gm i understand not giving him with his knees like a fourth year a fourth contract but i think this year aj brown's like maybe my favorite player in fantasy football this year i think aj brown is being he's i think he's all the things that are being projected from his physical decline i think for the most part we're like lack of effort and he's gonna try you know oh god who do you want to pick now you did get that uh that one there what position you want to look at you got one quarterback three running backs four wide receivers one tight end let me peep the receivers real quick is yeah uh wando's still there coke is where's digs at is digs around i think he's gone people are scooping him up now yeah he's gone okay that's fine is uh jayden higgins around yes higgins should be uh no he's gone too i lied i lied show me the running backs oh god yeah uh bill is still here bill just take bill out of principle he's all right i'm gonna put bill in the queue and we're gonna spin again here for this next prompt so we have a little extra time what do we got uh the book of football lots of bill prompts here bill is tasked you with writing the second installment to the book of sports series tell us the structure be surprised to see on the jacket art what does the book of football by danny heifetz look like i love that wow the book of i think the book of so the book of basketball that bill did was a pyramid i think the book of football it would be a football field and you would have to do like the the yardages and then you'd have like the prologue is the the end zone the other 10 yards and then the ends the other end zone would be like the afterward and then the you probably could divide it up into 10 parts i think you're talking about the second part of it i think the first would just be about the game and the hold it has on the public imagination the second part of it would be about the quarterbacks and i think i think i think what i would do is writing about the idea of quarterbacks it's not like any other job except maybe doctors or pilots where you have one surgeon doing brain surgery and like a hundred support staff across the rest of the building everyone depends on this guy and just has to have it a pilot landing a thing on an aircraft carrier you have a crazy infrastructure but you just gotta have it man and it's this intangible feeling of getting like hundreds of people to believe in them and it's like we still have no idea how to find it who and who's on the uh the cover art here is it a quarterback uh sorry the unexpected cover art eli manning with a dumb face and his two super bowl rings okay now quickly who do you want to pick here do you want to get jordan love you want to stack up cj stroud with nico collins give me how long do i have oh zero seconds yes let's do that great idea i do like that the book of football and you compare the quarterback position to like a hundred other professions it's just like the quarterback position is like being a pilot it is that's like yeah it's crazy i i the other one i think is so funny to me is the draft which is like we take the bet imagine if the best business student the best nba candidate in america got sent to the worst business last year like you know what i mean it's like we take the best quarterback and we're like worst team two years go by guy isn't good you're like that guy must suck i'm like actually the team we sent him to fucking sucks would you be team like like free market where these guys just sign with whoever you want or would you be worried about you know parody issues there they're not going to do it because that's what's funny to me is like just the college football nil is pure capitalism people hate it people want the nfl succeed the nfl is a socialist business and the nfl socialist talent management like the nfl they they parody is sports socialism and it's just funny that that's what works but the idea that the best college football players go to the worst teams i'm like god forbid they got to sign with the team and got to evaluate the teams based on success so i always think the draft's funny to me i think it would ultimately work itself out right because sure there would be the teams that have the most money or whatever but eventually a top player is not going to want to go play behind dak prescott in dallas just because they're throwing the most money he's like no i want to go somewhere i can play so you'd start to triangulate where there is a need but at least there would be you know there would be some franchises though right where it's like if i'm a player i'm like yeah i'll go to miami like no no fax is there go to miami but like screw cleveland dude like i don't care how much opportunity is there that is the problem and it's funny honestly it's almost like medical school where it's like you have friends if you become doctors and they're like getting matched and they're like their top five and your top five and it's kind of like joining a sorority almost and i'm like i don't know maybe something like the whole thing it's just funny to me it's just a giant hiring process and it's just i don't know it's a draft you in a frat army in a frat in uh in college uh yes okay i will follow up on that after this prompt this is a multimedia prompt here it's called kingpin or kingpin in honor of recent ringer nfl show summer movie club film kingpin danny must say whether pictures that i'm about to show you are a bill murray from the 96 comedy kingpin or the 93 mob movie mad dog in glory if you get three plus right uh otherwise you have to draft a future kingpin so let me get this multimedia prompt pulled up here do you feel like you're prepared for this i think so i mean i just watched kingpin the other day although we have this bill murray when he was 35 looked like he was 50 okay here we go here's the first one i think it's the grass is greener on the other side here uh no wait is this uh sorry i might have pulled up the wrong one here don't look don't look this is another prompt dk or dk we have lots of multimedia prompts here at the randomizer let me get the right one up here my bad i'm unsullied i haven't seen here we go all right you're good okay is this kingpin here or mad dog in glory i don't know i don't know that's kingpin uh that is correct you are one for one next photo mad dog in glory correct mad dog you're two for two kingpin or mad dog in glory kingpin no mad dog in glory two for three two for three here uh kingpin or mad dog in glory kingpin correct kingpin nailed it uh three for four uh kingpin or mad dog in glory mad dog in glory kingpin his hair yeah that got me but you went three for five so you get three plus right so you get to draft whoever you want well done there who is left what round are we in where am i we are in round 12 dude where's my car where's my team you have two quarterbacks four running backs four wide receivers one tight end here what position would you want to look at running probably receiver we're probably a little late on receivers yeah uh oh take that to boston come on for the for the content i mean the buzz the i think boston okay it's got to be boston right we have to yep he's yours um all right beautiful you're you're humming along here you're doing well danny dimes cue the next five quarterbacks in reverse adp order for every dime or every two other coins that danny could bring back remove the top player in the queue can you bring back some loose change you have dimes do you have pennies there's no coins in my house oh no oh no so i need to put in the there's no way the next five qbs let's see what he can do here by adp so it would be uh rogers bryce young gonna be a shitload of times actually uh now we got to do mendoza here actually mendoza okay can i go can i try to go get a quarter yes there's no time yes let me change you're good you got time here we go yes so much for not drafting losers unfortunately denzel boston is going to score no points for danny this year based on a new rule that fantasy emperor danny hyphus has instituted players on losing teams will no longer accrue fantasy points on your underdog rosters please draft accordingly imagine what adp would look like if that was real hold on fucking my running around okay walking okay you're on the clock tell me how many coins you have five i got five coins oh my prompt i got i got coins for days baby coins for days all right the queue is cleared here um i'm gonna look at running back for you pacheco spears algier bigsby scroll down i heard someone smart say once scroll the f down um jonah coleman jonah coleman jonah coleman okay let's take jonah coleman here it's funny you say that my uh my iced coffee glass has the scroll i think it's one of the you know what's so funny you give all this advice but if it doesn't stick in someone's head it doesn't work which is what we tried to do at the ringer fantasy show and it's like a football coach doesn't matter how smart you are you got to teach i thought that was like the simplest thing and i love that and i try to tell people that it's like yeah scroll down it's okay there's nothing bad it's like the scroll people are afraid to scroll man it's like oh i'm i i must not be getting a deal it's like people are afraid to scroll down yeah deal or no deal i want no deal i'm scrolling down do you uh do you have an affinity for for jonah coleman or was that just to show off your scroll down uh no i think jonah coleman's a great i think he's it's hard to find like league winning players ryan heath is the great article but league winning players i think it's jonah coleman man i think that like the broncos offense is good jonah coleman's like camps gadaboo last year where he has the skill set to to play unlike a rookie he can block he can pass protect on third down he's got the size to get goal line work i think pat corain who i think you know better than me but he's got the 745 rule can this guy get seven touchdowns rushing 45 catches jonah coleman could do that and jk dobbins has never played 13 games in his entire career and that's to say so that's assuming jk dobbins is healthy i think coleman is role but dobbins if he gets hurt i think coleman november december has everything you want a league winning player at round whatever that was 13 i just yeah yeah no i mean he's it's interesting he is priced more than some of those other you know rookie running backs the katron allens you know the emmett johnson's there but man it's like this this sean payton offense i i do really feel like one of dobbins harvey or coleman is going to be like a league winning pick i just don't know which one those guys just i just am a big believer it's harder than ever to play on the field as a rookie running back because you're the you're the you're the you're the fish at the table if it's poker like they're all the defenses are targeting you you're going to make a lot of money and you're going to make a lot of money if you're not a good blocker they don't want to put you out there if you don't know what you're doing jonah coleman can and he can actually he's good hands and he's going to go line back i don't know i think he's way better profile than all those other dudes yes uh all right we are going to spin here we are cruising along in this draft let's see this show is crazy this is insane all right this one comes from jonathan a huge uh fantasy football ringer fan here millennial banger month high fits must sing one of the songs craig shouted out for millennial banger month until pete can name the song if he fails draft joe flacco the eldest millennial i am terrified that i'm not going to be able to get this but you're going to have to try okay so i'm gonna he shouted out let's see here who did he shout out he's he did um pitbull but i think the song oh no which songs did he shout out man is there there's a is there a new pitbull song he started with uh no it was throwback songs oh it was the dj felly fell who is the dj phil oh get buck in here yeah that was it it was get buck in here get buck in here it's all the words in this song get buck in here get buck in here get buck in here let me get is it called get buck in here it's that yes that is we're gonna have to go to the chat does that count does that count because i feel like i i know they said you have to sing it that's i i yeah that's kind of cheap you know what we're gonna give you a fail on this one just because you've just been crushing too hard uh i do love you so is this this is this the craziest fantasy football podcast you've ever done yeah i outside of the one where he's saying get buck in here for like an hour straight you know this is probably this is probably number one yeah do you know what this this fail is gonna work out for you because the punishment was putting joe flacco in the queue you have burrow if he goes down you are covered i still have flacco honestly how many people are gonna burrow flacco and chase i'm gonna like just you just you man you can never be too safe uh all right next one spider-man cue the next commander of panther to take who he wants danny must describe something spiders do in their free time what's a spider do as a hobby wow i feel like they got a crochet right like they can probably make a meat sweater like that must be just pumping those things out like little keibler elves making sweaters instead of cookies i love that i mean they're they're very good at creating webs you would think that that natural inclination there would lend itself to a nice crochet i'm thinking what like a little knit beanie or something would be nice you know my brother his wife just had a baby like you know we looked into crocheting a hat i'm like that seems super hard but a spider could just pump that thing out all those little baby spiders must have like a bunch of like little like clothes and baby clothes and stuff that's lovely so maybe all of those pseudo anonymous uh store owners on the internet are going to be like oh my god i'm gonna make a on etsy what if they're actually just spiders yeah they're just spiders just spiders on etsy etsy etsy little etsy betsy little spider i did get rug pulled once though uh buying a knit beanie from what i later learned was a tick and that was kind of i thought i was getting grade a spider knitwear and i was wrong bloodsuckers those goddamn bloodsuckers okay uh we're gonna give that a pass there we got the knitting spiders uh which would be a great uh nickname here give me a psychopath isaac okay why wait why is he a psychopath i don't know i just plays like a psycho man i don't know all he does is catch one-handed touchdowns he's never caught a two-headed touchdown in his entire life i love that guy dude i mean i think i missed there there would have been an era of fantasy football analysis maybe like a decade ago maybe it would have even needed to be 15 years ago where it would have been like this guy averages a touchdown every two catches if he gets 75 catches he's gonna score 30 catches every two catches he's gonna score 30 catches every two catches he's gonna score 35 touchdowns this year oh my god he is gonna start though which is but but no that would have been a thing i will say though i wish i hadn't been so hey i was so excited to have earned my pick i wish i'd taken if he falls to are the other people in this draft in this chat are they hearing a lot of them are a lot of their streams so i shouldn't say who i wish i'd taken and hope falls to us no you you can do it i mean they're nice they're they're they're so kind i think they asked they just had me like sing get bucket here i think that they're they're vindictive how about this be coy with it maybe uh give me some hints some clues maybe rhyme their name they'll never pick up on it it would be so tragic if schmolby fartinson that's your guy he's gonna be there i will make i will make a promise to you now unless someone is really trolling in most drafts he will be available with the last round pick that's your guy not buying the right now okay you never know so i this is the first time in 49 minutes where i felt like i could even take a breath that's that's not my part of that i mean you know what i well now i feel like i didn't you know i didn't challenge you enough if you feel like you can exhale right now this is this is crazy man okay so let me ask you what is during all this crazy research you do what is like some of the craziest things you found out about the while you're doxing all these people who come on your show you know it is there is an element and look i have to give a huge shout out to our randomizer producers we have a writing team matthew wood is in the chat here he is like my nard war right where he's going deep into the bag the people our fans are going through the archives of your podcast and we're trying to uh basically wow with you with the depth of research that we've pulled off and it sounds like we might have done that today uh yeah i'm a little i'm more than a little intimidated i wish i had done like i wish i had done something to dox you i'm not gonna lie i wish i had showed up with a little more research on you i feel like you're just like nailing smoke to a wall that's right yeah you know what i like to keep uh my guests guessing i don't like to reveal too much about myself um you can go looking but yeah you're not gonna find shit danny ain't gonna find shit also i i'm i'm an idiot because i wanted terrence ferguson i was lying but colby parkinson and he went two picks after to slough oh you were trying to throw them off the set okay i wanted to lie yeah and i blew up your spot by saying terrence ferguson okay here we go uh cue the next rookie danny must hype a colleague who is at the start of his career this could be anybody in the fantasy space whatever and would go deep in a future season of so you think you can tout the competition the tout competition i just wrapped up to take who he wants do you have a sleeper in the fantasy tout world here so i have to shout out at the ring i have to shout out anthony debundo who doesn't do fantasy football but he does just a lot of general content i'll do debundo but i mean if we're talking about fantasy content generally it's got to be ryan heath right ryan heath is just out here just absolutely crushing it crushing everything man i don't know if he's like 19 years old or what but ryan is just unbelievable and over at fantasy points and scott barrett they're doing great stuff actually uh got to meet ryan heath for the first time at the scott fishbowl in boston one i didn't even know he was a new england guy and two you know you see his professional like linkedin photo you know he looks like barry you know polish whatever he's he was like a hippie he had his hair down he's wearing his cargo shorts and i was like man this guy's all business on twitter but you get him at the bar and he's over here playing fucking hacky sack and you know whipping up hemp over there i mean it was it was unreal dude i love there you go i love that man okay uh you do get to pick who you want uh shout out ryan heath here 16 10 you have three quarterbacks and you have locked down the cincinnati quarterback room five running backs six wide receivers one tight end you want to look at another tight end here should right or else i'm screwed a colby parkinson i didn't want colby parkinson you want mike kisecki with burrow and uh yeah i might that might have to be the only way is there anyone else to scroll down prior moose gunner helm ingram dawson knox michael mayer mayor and in joku intrigued me quite a bit but i probably should just do kisecki right i mean this is your team brother i want you to be happy mike kisecki all right there you go let's do kisecki screw it also and joku i will say though everyone's like ironda gad's like a joke he's gonna play more yeah i mean there's and i don't know if how plugged in you are there's a corner of my internet my fantasy internet who's really into charlie kohler right now as well that's a thing uh okay dirty jobs q and a half newspaper writer uh danny must share his least favorite assignment while working as associate editor here we go deepen our research at the university of richmond's collegian or collegian now i'm doing a uh a hyphens mispronouncing your college newspaper wolves the wolves okay um what was your least favorite assignment while working at that just like we had to we had to cover like the state house because richmond's the capital of virginia so how to how to like cover the like local politics and like bills going on and stuff like that i don't know i don't know i don't know like the state assembly and let me tell you something when you're a college student and you're trying to like track down actual politicians and actually get them to to heed to power um it's really hard they don't care and they yeah i couldn't even get them to like it was hard to even get them to talk to me and i just wait outside their office and they just wouldn't come out for four hours and then i had to go back to campus incredible it was pretty humbling uh i will say uh i think you almost passed it but the clock was bleeding down as you finished the story so you were giving me a lot of time to think about it and i was like okay i'm gonna do this colby parkinson as punishment there i uh i hope you feel excited when he wins me the you know six trillion dollars here because he catches like three touchdowns in week 17 you know it's all gonna be worth it what i just see patrick laird oh wow look at that griffin okay so what is that a bit he's having fun now they're doing all of the old kind of uh lore plays from the stream the ship chasing universe sky more one of our favorites lavisca chanel the initial uh kind of cult hero of the randomizer and ship chasing and then patrick laird my dear friend uh who is now out of the league uh but i became friendly with uh through a twitter bit uh when he was playing in the league so there you go patrick laird uh on the terrence ferguson stuff though it sounds like you're you're getting hyped on him i just think ferguson is like again if you're if you if you at some point the rankings transition you get deep enough into whatever man i just want to know if week one if this guy's gonna pop or not and i just ferguson to me is like gonna be the number three receiver for ram's team that davante could get hurt who could get hurt and i just think ferguson is he's a receiver who's gonna play in these 10 and sets and i just the upside's crazy and if he doesn't do anything doesn't do anything but i'm like i start looking around like him or like kenyan sadiq and the jets and all the i'm like i don't know i i doesn't even close it's like he could be a zero but who cares everyone around 15 is a zero for this next pick though i have to say if we're gonna do bits is mike davis still on the player pool is mike what yeah i mean holy cow let me see they don't normally have some deep names in here no no more mike davis what's your uh uh there's a malik davis ray davis and isaiah will it come up as m davis because that's could be enough dude cory davis is still in the play no who's the oldest player is girly in there oh that's a good question is todd girly still no no more girly no more girly um okay final prompt here worldwide feat danny must make the case for which nfc player has the widest feet in the league if pete is not convinced draft the 10th wide receiver by adp sell me who's got them wide ass feet dude it has to be daniel falale the guard for the giants now that was in the ravens dude he's like six foot eight and i think he might be taller than that you ever seen these guys here i'm gonna google his feet dude yeah google his yeah falale feet okay that guy's feet this is dicey me searching some random dude's feet on the internet i'm gonna blame you if i can be dicey about it it what could possibly go wrong okay let's see here uh 380 wait why you thought you thought there's supposed to be a photo of his feet that pops up well if you have your your safe filter on are you ready to take the red pill here what are you doing dude what's up what kind of photos are on the dark other on the dark zoom in baby come on look look at that look at that shot look at that clomper look at that giant you're right that come on dude what a beast how yeah what are his measurables here 68384 uh hand size 11 inches arm length 35 and an eighth wingspan 85 and one eighth uh 384 six feet eight i'll buy it man i'll buy it you got to imagine darnell washington has some thick yeah i probably could have got he's athletic though like i have the big wide feet but like i'm not you know i i darnell washington couldn't run as fast as he could if he had the big wide chompers you know yeah so people remind so i i do this show i do this show uh luckily it was just for youtube members oh pat bryant sorry i want pat bryant sorry i just saw pat bryant no no you're good you're good um i did a stream in season last year where i was googling dylan samson injury news on elon musk's hellscape site and just straight porn came up okay they're on the thing so i'm a little gun shy with this stuff so let me tell you okay so my version so um spot so ringer we're on you know uh on by spotify spotify's got a we work in dc a lot of lawyers work there you know like people real people with like real jobs unlike us and i was typing in will levis on twitter because i know it's a quarterback competition sex tape yeah and i'm like at work on my desk and i'm just typing will levis trying to find practice footage and it's just sec yeah sex tapes will levis and like there are literal company lawyers just all around me and i'm like trying to think how i would explain this to like my swedish hr representatives yes i'm like this is insane i just how does this just come up i can't do this at work anymore it's that is and and did did you think anyone noticed or did you pull it off i think so i i think one person noticed it didn't say anything which is terrifying yeah i'm like i didn't do anything wrong they did something wrong you somewhere on bill's desk is an hr complaint about you and what you were doing in that office and he he you know you put it in the file right and it's like if they ever need to build a case against you they're like hey first of all you're impersonating me on peter over zets the randomizer also we have you looking at will levis porn three and a half years ago what do you say to that danny you're gone the worst ever this is too dark i can't even but yeah no there's just so much no let it rip let it rip so i i'm not on twitter anymore and the reason for a thousand reasons but the one where i was like this is too much there was a um there were some elections in mexico a couple years ago and unfortunately i'm not on twitter anymore and the unfortunately one of the guy who won mayor he was mayor of a town he won election and his his head was cut off and there was a news story about his head being cut off oh no and then the top reply on i clicked on it because that's horrible and i clicked on it and the top reply was a porn star who said my head's better with a video oh and i'm like this is insane and i was in line for coffee in the morning i was at starbucks and i'm reading this and i'm like oh my god i'm like i'm like i'm my brain and done that was the straw that i was like i am done with this thing in my life i cannot have this thing in my life anymore too many landmines too many landmines especially for screen shares here you know it's uh it's a miracle that we've survived this long uh but you know who survived here danny heifetz survived his randomizer i'm gonna recap this team you tell me how you did joe burrow cj stroud and joe flacco you can never be too safe there uh jaylen warren jordan mason kyle minungai bill and jonah coleman honestly that's a zero rb room you know it is a zero rb room uh jamar chase jaco collins luther burden jameson williams denzel boston isaac tesla pat bryant i mean that's a pretty sick wide receiver room i love it mcbride gesicki parkinson i mean i think you can go to battle with this team what do you think uh i i i think it freaks me out that i actually kind of don't mind it i feel like i i i like that i mostly except for the running back stuck to players that go vroom vroom which makes you really happy i also think it's a good thing pat bryant's gonna just start for that team so dude i i love the pat it sounds like you're a broncos fan we did jonah coleman you like pat bryant those are your sleepers uh maybe it's i hate the broncos and just take the cheapest players dude this was so much fun thank you so much for having me man this is you know everyone said horrible things about you and i was like there's no way that's true and i you know none of it's none of it was it was it danny talking oh yeah no everyone your producers before the show everyone was just like careful you know you know just around but i'm like i had i want you to know they were wrong and had a great time well like i was actually an operative from spotify's legal team to try to catch you in a compromising situation and further help Bill's case to oust you from the ringer. Yeah. But I don't know if I accomplished. Yeah. Dude, thank you so much for having me, man. This is unhinged in the best way. That's the best compliment we could get around here. Let the people know, obviously, the Ringer Fantasy Football Podcast. Anything else people should check out in your neck of the woods? Check us out. Instagram, wherever.

But best of luck this fantasy season and enjoy the ham. Always do. All right, man. We'll catch you later. Peace. All right. I know the chat is excited here to get us rolling on the bash. So let me do a little change here as far as the show set up. We'll get our bash materials here. Get the bash stream. Maybe get this going here. Let's do hashtag join the bash. Join the bash in the chat. And we will spin here in a second. I'm also going to have to go to the bathroom. I've been drinking a lot of coffee today. All right. Let's get this up and rolling here. Hashtag join the bash in the chat. And I will get us all set up. What a fun randomizer draft. I've never done a show with. Danny Heifetz before. And so glad we were able to do that. What a gem. What a peach. What a ham, I should say. If you guys have any suggestions for guests that you'd like to see on the randomizer. We will still be rolling with these throughout the month of August. Thank you for bearing with me as I get everything set up. I'm also now having. To switch over to Firefox. That's where. The solver is now pushing its main update. So I'm not going to, you know, fight it with Chrome too much. Let me get this giveaway going. Join the bash. It looks like we have 31 entries here. Let me get this pulled up on screen. 31 entries here for the bash. Last call here. This is what we're going to do. I'm going to spin the wheel and while the wheel is spinning. I'm going to go to the bathroom. Good luck to everyone here with hashtag join the bash 31 entries. We'll be able to do a couple of these today. So even if you are not able to get in this one, make sure you stick around. I will be right back to figure out who the winner is. Good luck to everybody. I'll see you guys next time. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Stay in line. If you didn't win, we will have a, another drawing after the draft with Willis. Let's see what Willis wants to draft here. I might see if I can push him to do a non BBM just because I'm legitimately trying to pace myself on it because I have a lot of best ball breakfasts left and I only have 42 bullets left in BBM. Um, I would be down to do an elimination. We have, uh, what do we have? The puppy. We have the pit bull. I have some bullets left there for bullets there. All right. Where's Willis? Where is Willis? Meanwhile, we can look at some of my, uh, my slows here. Got a chow chow. This feels like a Jalen hurts. Jane Daniels. All right. We got, we got Willis here so we can, uh, we can get back to business. You hear Willis? Uh, yeah. Hang on one sec. Why don't I see you here? I don't know. I, I can hear you, but your video box isn't showing up. Oh no. Is my webcam not working? I might have to do it from my phone. Yeah. Maybe. Yeah. Maybe come back, come back in. All right. Uh, Yosh says a limb filling substantially faster than BBM, which makes no sense. I mean, I think it does. I think it's just price point, right? I mean, the $10 price point is always going to fill faster than the 25. Shout out a limb though, man. Uh, exploding in popularity this year. Like you said, at a 71% fill rate, I'm saving 15 bullets for fast drafts. The rest of mine, uh, are currently slow drafts here, but yeah, I wanted to keep a few bullets, but going to have to keep tabs on it, right? Like if I, if I blink, this thing could fill on me here. Okay. Plus it's smaller people cramming. It's a cascading effect. Yeah, we did have that. You know, we all, we've talked about the slow draft clocks hitting and today was kind of like last call for that August 6th. So I do think there was an element of people piling in to get their final slow drafts. There he is. What's up Willis? Willis. I see you now, but now I can't hear you. So we, we flipped. I went from hearing you, but not seeing you to seeing you, but not hearing you. Look at this Willis. This feels like, uh, Oh, I can hear you now. Willis. Can you hear me? Yeah. Hold on. I, uh, I had your piece in, I was watching your randomizer just laying in bed. Laying in bed? Yeah. I'm off work today. I was taking a little nap. Wow. Listen, taking a nap with the randomizer and testimonials. Uh, what, what do you want to draft Willis? Um, a BBM is good with me. Okay. Uh, so this is, this is, or if you want to do a pit bull, cause I know you've been wanting to do those. Here's what I was going to say. We can do one BBM today. So it's either you or if the next guest wants to, but I am going to just try to slowly, you know, pace myself. So you decide BBM or pit bull. You, because you came on first, you get to decide the, the other person will take the other. Uh, let's do a pit bull. Okay. Look at you. Nice guy. We're going to do a pit bull here with Willis. Uh, if I can find it in the carousel, the pit bull to $20 entry, two of 12, one of six, one of five here, uh, 156 seat final. But, uh, how you been Willis? How you been? I've been good, man. I hated that. I couldn't make it to Austin. Uh, looked like you guys had a great time. Yes, we, uh, we missed you, dude. I mean, I always give you a hard time. Like no one's more of an OG than you. And we've had probably five, six, seven ship chasing meetups over the years. We've had club top shot meetups. We've had dog bowls and you are my white whale. The, the member I have never been able to meet in person. What the hell, dude? Are you good? Can you hear me? Yeah, I'm good. Sorry. I had to reset the, uh, the, the headpiece actually. So something just happened to your audio. You sounded a lot better before. Now you sound kind of underwater. All right. We're just going straight phone. That's way better. Way better. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. The phone's going to get the job done. But yes, I was giving you crap. for. all of these years, never making it to one of these meetups. Yeah. Can you hear me, Willis? Yeah, I can hear you. It's actually quite quiet on my phone's end, but I think that's a me issue. Okay. Well, you're about to be on the clock in the pit bull. Puka goes, so we're looking at, are you JSN, CMC, Amin Ra, Taylor, something else? CMC. All right, let's do it. CMC here. Um, but yes, dude, how, how have you been? How, how is your drafting season going? Uh, sounds like you're having a great day just off on a Thursday. That sounds nice. Yeah. Uh, so I just had some vacation days left to use, uh, are at my work, our vacation, like you basically have to use it or you lose it and it resets on your like hiring date. Okay. And so my hiring date was August. It's like August 9th. It's literally. Sunday. So I've had to just basically burn vacation days, uh, the past few weeks. You couldn't burn a vacation day last Friday to, to meet us in Austin. That would have been the perfect day to burn it. Willis. I, I actually was off last Friday. Yeah. Uh, but I just, I couldn't, you know, convince the wife to. All right. That's fine. It's fine. You know, uh, I guess I have a bone to pick with your wife then, you know, we'll, we'll settle that up later. Uh, we have, uh, Nez, uh, getting membership mogged by Willis. Yeah. Very few people can hang with Willis. Their best ball guy becoming a YouTube member here. If you guys do want to be eligible to draft, all you have to do is become a YouTube member. We'll do another spin here in a little bit. Uh, go AZ cards says, who is your favorite person to debate with on discord? You're not much of a debater in there, but, uh, what would be your answer? Uh, I would say like my favorite person, uh, to debate with is normally, uh, honestly, it's normally Davis and it's normally, you know, in an area where very few people will see the debate. Okay. Yes. Hidden, hidden, uh, deep within the, uh, the paywall channels of the, yeah. Yeah. You gotta, you gotta have a special token. All right. You're on the clock. AJ Brown, Drake, London, Nico Pickens, Rashi rice, neighbors, Jeremiah love. Who's your guy? Uh, neighbors. All right. All right. Yeah. Doing it. Come on down Malik neighbors. We start CMC. We start neighbors. Have you been drafting a lot, uh, with some of your, uh, free time here with all this vacation? Uh, yeah, I've, I've been drafting a little bit. Um, so, uh, the, the end of NHL season. Uh, wasn't too kind to me. And normally I, uh, I, I have a pretty big bankroll from, from that and everything. So, uh, haven't been able to draft as much as I've liked, but. Well, give a daddy a spike, uh, asking his neighbors around to guy. Now he pretty much is in most drafts. Gretchen. I took him in this similar spot yesterday and it sounds like Willis, you are on board with the new price for Malik neighbors. Yeah, definitely. Uh, I mean, you know, if, if he was like fully healthy, like we, we'd probably be taking him right after layman Jefferson. Yeah. Yup. No, for sure. Um, and you know, he kind of opened up, uh, what was it like one, two turn, um, would have been kind of where he settled with no injury stuff. So I could certainly see that there. We're about to pick at three, five. We got the Cardinals, uh, guys fallen a little bit. Both of them here. Love and Trey McBride. Also Devante Smith. Who do you like? Uh, I'm a, I'm a big Trey McBride guy. Uh, I, I, I just, I don't understand, you know, he, he started ahead of Bowers for those of us that were drafting early and everything. And he's, he's fallen from, he was like a one, two turn pick and now you're getting him in the mid third and literally nothing has changed for him. Yeah. Well. I guess what's, I guess what's changed is the specter of Carson Beck taking over at the end of the season. That would be the one thing that's, I think if you guaranteed the market 17 games of Jacoby Brissett, McBride would be a mid second round pick. I think people are just terrified of the wheels coming off at the end of the season. Listen, if, if anyone is terrified of, of Carson Beck, then they didn't watch college football. Why you, you think Carson Beck is good? No, I think he's bad. That's why I'm saying people are terrified of him. They're terrified that he's not going to be able to get the ball to Trey McBride. Yeah. What I'm saying is, is they don't need to be terrified of him because he's not going to be playing. Okay. You're saying that Jacoby Brissett will hold onto the job for the whole year? Yes. Okay. Because if, if Jacoby sucks, then we're just going to get Minshew mania. Okay. All right. That would be pleasant. Yeah. I mean, I think Minshew can do, he can do the Brissett light thing for us if we need. Um, but yeah, no, I'm with you. I've been clicking, clicking McBride a lot here in the third round. We start CMC. We start neighbors in McBride about to pick in the middle of the fourth ADP wise, uh, Ted Arroyo, Jacobs, Burden, Scadabo, McLaurin, Loveland, Evans. We'll see what our friends Nana, Nana, and Jump Free do here. Anyone you're eyeing? Uh, the person I was eyeing just went, um, but I got one more guy I really like. Okay. All right. Let's see. Uh, who, who is the guy you really like? Ted Arroyo? Yeah. Yeah. Uh, all right. Burden, Scadabo, McLaurin. Mike Evans. We're going to, we're going to, we're going to stack up the 49ers. I love it. There you go. Big Mike. Come on down. CMC neighbors, Evans, McBride. Can we grab the only healthy guys on the Niners right now? That's, that's the thesis. I mean, that's all you need. That's right. That's right. Um, all right. Uh, it looks like the chat is hyped on. Minshew right now. Uh, Purple Yosh says, forgot Minshew existed. Hand up. There you go. Uh, substation doesn't worry Willis. Yeah. What's your, what's your take on the substation? Substation doesn't go after guys like CMC and Mike Evans. It's only concerned with the Ricky Pearsalls and, you know, the plebs of the world. Yeah. Yeah. If you're a pleb, don't go to San Francisco for your future hall of famer. CMC, George Kittle, Mike Evans, you'll, you'll be fine. Yeah. You will be fine. All right. We have CMC. We got the two wide receivers, neighbors, Evans, Trey McBride head into the mid fifth round in our pit bull draft here with deposit kingdom legend Willis as discord, or as easy said earlier, I love Willis. One of my absolute favorites on discord, total completionist. Best part of my morning is when the notifications roll in and he's hitting laugh Rogers across 17 different threads. Do you know what? Do you read every word in the deposit kingdom? Willis? Uh, there've been periods to where like I've taken just days off and I haven't read, but I mean, there are a few threads that I don't enter for the longest time. Like I didn't enter the hoops thread and everything just cause I don't play NBA hoops and everything. But I mean, yeah, pretty much I, I read everything. And so. Okay. We're on the clock here. Uh, Swift Adams, JMO, Judkins, Hendo, Bucky Tate. Uh, let's take Judkins. Uh, I'm just, I've just been very light on him lately. And, uh, so, you know, you're doing your Tyler's, uh, got me convinced that, that I need to be drafting more of him. So you said you're light on Judkins. And so then you're going to come on and get your Judkins shares on my site. Yeah. I mean, well, I've been drafting him on my own here recently as well. But, uh, you know, I figured if, if I want to split $2 million with you, then I need to start taking the players that I would myself. Just, uh, oh, we did a pit bull. It was okay. So a hundred K that's right. A hundred K exactly. Um, all right, here's the squad. We have CMC. We have Judkins. We have neighbors, Evans, Trey McBride. Now you were just listening to the Danny Heifetz randomizer in his world, we would get no points for Judkins because anytime they lose, uh, he says you shouldn't be able to get fantasy points. What do you think of that take? Oh, I, I think that it would be, it'd be an interesting fantasy league to be in. You know, I will say, uh, maybe, maybe someone should have pitched that to you as a league instead of some of the other pitches you got. Exactly. Uh, exactly. Uh, give a daddy. Spike says, uh, Pete is not for flattening exposures. I need all future bash guests to internalize this advice. Flatten your exposures on your own account. Well, I also feel like Pete that you're probably like me. You're probably putting light on him as well. So I'm just trying to help your exposures. You're trying to help me. Okay. Yeah. As long as it's actually a guy you're wanting to start drafting more and you're not just diversifying for my sake. You know what I mean? No, no, no, no. It's, it's a guy. guy that I wasn't drafting and that I've come around to beautiful so all right let's see what we're looking at here two running backs two wide receivers one tight end about to pick in the sixth round um jadarian price brian thomas warren may daniels burrow um yeah this is the interesting spot here where it flattens out some naked quarterbacks you could do price as a faller is interesting but he probably gets snapped off are you a btj guy jalen warren what do you think um let's go let's go warren so um i like that get a get a third running back here and because you mentioned the purdy thing darts available um we can see what comes back to us as well yeah i was i was hoping for price or or btj although i am on the uh the parker washington side of things and always have been so always have been you're just going to come here and parker washington mog me like that yeah well uh some of us some of us drafted too much btj at the one two turn you know and so uh you're getting you're you're making it right with parker washington shares yeah aren't you afraid of jacoby myers bro no i've never been afraid of jacoby myers in my life aren't you afraid of travis hunter bro no aren't you afraid of bretton strange bro no bretton strange is not good okay all right i get it um this is where you tell me if i just watch the parker washington tape i'll get it right uh i i mean i'm not a i'm not a tape watcher per se so so then how did you get caught up in the parker washington hive um i watched i i guess i did watch the tape last year watching him play football okay uh jaylen hurts the faller here uh craft prescott pierce jane reed herbert uh who do you want to look at uh yeah let's just take her let's let's let's take a follower i mean i like it so

lower scale have it on like a a much lower scale have it on like a a much lower scale like make the highest amount be like a like make the highest amount be like a a hundred dollars yeah for sure you could you know you could do five to ten episodes get 500 or you know a thousand dollars and everything and if you know the max someone could win is a hundred or maybe even like you could up it up if

three three two solvers suggesting some wide receivers for us shakir higgins um what do you want to do here uh let's go higgins yeah higgins is fun yeah in case in case we want a third quarterback for sure yeah hurts purdy you know you could you can rock two there for sure you like the three quarterback built uh i've yeah i've i've just kind of been you know talked into it i i've honestly been a you know when you spend two in the first 10 rounds uh i've normally always stopped it too but this year i've i've been trying to late stack a third the uh who is your because for people who don't know one of your brand guys used to be a even when the ship chasers were out on him you were still pounding the table for Zeke who's the closest you have to uh to a brand play these days that's a that's a good question um I I probably have to say probably CMC is probably close to that that brand play but like um if it's a guy in the later rounds I'd probably say it's either uh Pittman or or George Kittle so all right I love it uh well back when I was fighting my good Zeke fight you know he wasn't he wasn't being drafted in the in the top three rounds anymore I did just put it on the screen if you guys want to draft here after Willis for one more bash draft today it is Zeke in honor is the hashtag hashtag Zeke if you want to be eligible to draft with me here um Willis let's take a look at this so on the clock here um you could do the Stroud if you like Dijon Stribling Boston uh Chigakonkwo Hunter what do you like uh go Stribling just get that stack yeah I mean we're all in we're all in yeah yeah yes um so we have Jalen Hurts and Brock Purdy at quarterback we have CMC Judkins and Warren at running back up to five wide receivers now Neighbors Evans Pittman Higgins Stribling got those two tight ends McBride and George Kittle I think we're doing good here we're cooking and the one thing that I love about uh stacking up Kittle with with McBride is is that one you just expect McBride to hit our lineup every week but McBride's bi-week is in week 14 so even if you know George Kittle says he'll be ready for week one maybe it takes until week two but even if it takes longer than that you know McBride's bi-week is week 14 so you have time just in case there's any any setbacks or anything yep for Kittle for sure uh yeah the only other interesting decision with the Kittle but it didn't even come into play was if we wanted to get Goddard with Hurts but Goddard you know if he had fallen to 140 maybe we could have gotten Frisky with a third tight end but I think we made the right decision here uh 2-3-5-2 Stroud does go so um we can still do Rodgers later if you wanted that third quarterback with Pittman um what position do you want to look at here running backs and wide receivers yeah what's running back looking like yeah Pacheco Algier Bigsby Charbonnet you could do Bigsby with the the Hurts team wide yeah let's get Bigsby Charbonnet yeah let's get Bigsby Charbonnet Bigsby let's let's get that stacked up with with Hurts uh yep if we if we didn't have Hurts I would have said uh go Algier uh I'm I'm pretty high on him this year yes uh I think it makes sense for us to uh to grab Bigsby there at this point pretty flat there get another running back certainly makes sense on a Hurts team uh let's see here we have 32 entries let's spin again here to see who is going to join me after Willis to draft a team good luck to everybody we'll be doing these every Thursday sorry I had to walk to the back door and let my dog in Tyler Huey do we know Tyler Huey Willis do you recognize that username I don't either no I don't either Tyler Huey shoot me a message Tyler we'll get you on the bash discord works twitter works uh figure out how to get in contact with me and I'll see you next time bye bye and we will take care of it here's the team Willis and I are cooking up right now while we get Tyler Huey squared away Jalen Hurts Brock Purdy CMC Judkins Warren Bigsby Neighbors Evans Pittman Higgins Stribling Trey McBride George Kittle uh are you uh I mean obviously on this team we're all in on the Niners but it sounds like you're pretty stoked on them just in general yeah I'm I mean like how could you not be even even in their their worst season all their fantasy assets were still really good when they went like 6 and 11 a few years ago yeah like I mean just parties good CMC's good Kittle's good you know are you on team uh if all prices are equal are you team Debo or team Stribling um probably Debo he he looks he looks good so yeah love it uh all right let's see here uh at 164 if you did want the third quarterback now's probably the time to take Rogers uh running backs were Pacheco Samson Brian Robinson Jane Blue Lloyd Flournoy Tesla A.D. Mitchell Antonio Williams that wide receiver uh I want I want Jaden Blue on this team yes let's do it Willis because I don't know if you remember the last time I was on the bash remind me uh we had the little snafu where we had the little snafu and I was on the bash and I was on the bash and I was my phone died I had to rush inside and I had just made it back for our 18th round pick and we got I told you to go to running back and I told you to scroll down and then I said keep scrolling and then I told you to click on Jaden Blue and you were not a fan of it at that time oh no and did this so now your take aged gracefully and mine didn't and is that what you're saying no I I I just I just wanted to remind people that I've always been on Jaden Blue that's why that's why you're you're flexing on him you're flexing on no I I love Blue man I think we took him at 164 I don't think it'll be crazy to say we'll be drafting him even higher than this uh in the next few weeks so I love it uh Bigsby Blue we have a 2552 here uh we can see what comes our way but pretty balanced here we got a big blue and a big blue and a big blue and a big blue we got Hertz Purdy Trey McBride George Kittle five running backs five wide receivers two picks away the question here is if he's here do you want Rodgers at 173 um no because I think I think there there might be a wide receiver that I want to I want to make sure that we get okay all right we are on the clock who you eye in here actually yeah let's go Rodgers I I think I think I can wait on the water okay I think Roger I forgot too that we have both Warren and Pittman so Rodgers is a nice ad here yeah all right perfect so now we get that third quarterback we have three more picks here you mentioned definitely looking at what probably two two more wide receivers and then a luxury pick most likely yeah that's what I was thinking yeah what uh what kind of contests are you going to be prioritizing here the over the next month um probably probably definitely BBM uh I do want to get some more eliminators in as well um and then after your show with Chad I've never been a fan of the the weekly winners contest but I kind of want to just maybe throw some entries in there yeah for sure yeah if you guys missed that on off and on the clock on Tuesday we had Chad Mashkey draft her on underdog and he did kind of a dated deep dive into the 2025 data for the weekly winners contest he shared all of that with us we drafted the team some really good intel in there if you're looking to draft weekly winners and I will say too he just shared it on uh Twitter for people who want the deck I'm actually going to drop this in the chat here weeklywinners.pages.dev he shared that there and uh I will retweet it right now on Twitter as well if you want to go find it there uh but yeah shout out Chad for that and I'll see you guys in the next one Chad Mashkey also reminds me my uh last show for this week is tonight after dark with shady advice excited to catch up with him have not done a show with him in a little bit I'm sure we'll talk Sims we'll talk best ball the state of DFS and uh and everything else in between Willis we got three more picks here uh let's see what's available for us at 16-8 I'll do another recap for the crowd here Hurts Purdy Rogers at quarterback and I'll see you guys in the next one CMC Judkins Warren Bigsby Blue at running back Neighbors Evans Pittman Jr. Higgins and Stripling at wide receiver McBride and Kittle at tight end let's see here uh Willis are we both sweating the same wide receiver here I I think so yeah yeah we'll see what if if jump free does it uh is it an ARF ARF uh Dontavian Wicks yeah I'll get a seal give it to us brother let's grab it Dontavian Wicks that one makes too much sense we need a wide receiver we have Jalen Hurts with Bigsby let's tack on Wicks right here past ADP2 masterclass Willis masterclass uh chat here another draft opportunity or Zeke the last one yeah this is probably going to be the last one here for the rest of the week I'll see you guys in the next one but today uh we'll probably do two bash drafts a week along with the randomizer as much as I would like to stream all afternoon long i do have some stuff to do today but like i said we will keep these rolling every thursday and i do plan i want to squeeze in one night one willis we'll do one night bash here uh in the month of august when it makes sense yeah we also have huey uh ready to go after this draft concludes round 17 round 18 you got anyone else in mind here uh for this next pick uh no i i don't i think i think everyone else that i normally like i think i think they all have gotten taken so we finally got sniped on i guess he went even before we got sniped on i guess he went even before we got sniped on i guess he went even before wicks jeremy bernard so we can't do that bit wicks jeremy bernard so we can't do that bit wicks jeremy bernard so we can't do that bit yeah

team. I think we did well here in the pit bull. Hertz, Purdy, and Rogers. CMC, Judkins, Warren, Bigsby, Blue. Neighbors, Evans, Pittman, Higgins, Stribling, Wicks, Keenan Allen. Trey McBride, George Kittle, Eli Stowers. What do you think? I like it, Pete. Good draft. Good draft, Willis. You kept us on track. We got the stacks. We made sure to get our guys there. Bigsby, Blue, yeah, have an onslaught on the Niners there with five of them. We got four Eagles, three Steelers. I like how this team shook out specifically for this kind of contest. Hey, if we played by Danny's method, you know, this team would be pretty good. That's right. You're right. Pretty much maxing on good teams. Pittsburgh, I guess, could be a tweener. Cleveland, Judkins, no. Maybe Trey McBride. That could be rough. But otherwise, we did pretty good on good players on good teams. Yeah. All right, brother. I'm going to let you go. We're going to get Huey up here. Enjoy the rest of your day off. Anybody else that you'd like to shout out? Anything you'd like to promote on your way out the door? No, I just, you know, go shop on Pete's store. He never advertises it. He never calls it. I'm at my downstairs sitting room, so I don't even have any merch in this area to show or anything. But it's great stuff and a great way to support Pete. I appreciate you. You know what? I think the reason I just like it's been so long since I've added a new piece of merch. If there was either a show, a bit. Or even a type of merchandise as an enjoyer of the merch store. What would be a recommendation of something for me to add? I mean, you don't have any Best Ball Bash merch. You're right. I don't. You know? So, I mean, it's a great logo. I think it'd be like really cool on, you know, a shirt or a mug or a glass. Maybe do the Bash pint glass? Yeah. I've seen that. Okay. I bet you. I'm not a hat guy, but I know just like a clean like white hat with that Bash logo would look really good across it. Do you like it saying the full logo up here, Best Ball Bash or just Bash, do you think? I think Best Ball Bash. I think you'd have to do the full thing. Yeah. Okay. All right. We will work on it. And if you have any other inspiration, feel free to DM me. But you're right. And now that I have a little more time available. I think I'm, I'm due for some new additions to the merch store. Also, since I've last done it, my provider has like way more options for things I can do as well. So I need to spend some time poking around there. So thank you for that reminder, Willis. Well, you got, you got plenty of time now with, you know, so you think you can tell being wrapped up. So. That's right, man. That's right. Well, uh, appreciate you, Willis. Glad you, uh, you banked a spot on here today and, uh, we'll see you around the kingdom. See you later, Pete. Thanks for having me on. All right. Peace, Willis. All right. All right. Welcoming to the stage. Mr. Huey. Huey, is this your first time on the bash? Yeah. First time. Uh, I guess kind of a long time watcher lurker, uh, but happy to be here. Always like getting a fresh face on here. Excited to draft with you. What would you like to, uh, to draft today? Yeah. If you want to do the pit bull, that's cool with me. Um, we don't, like I said, I just want to like, you know, just gently pace myself, but I now we, we have a. We have a BBM bullet here if you want it, or if you like, you know, a more realistic chance to win money, we can do the pit bull. Uh, you, you choose. I'm good. Let's do the pit bull. You know, we can get a little funky. We can pull some guys up, right? Uh, we're not really constrained by the, uh, the BBM ADPs. That's right. Uh, so yeah, give, give me a little, get a little background. You said more of a lurker first time here. Uh, when did you start getting into best ball and, uh, find the bash? Yeah. I've, uh, I've, I played underdog when it first kind of started out, uh, when it was legal in Toronto, that's where I was, uh, used to live. And then we kind of had a change in government, couldn't play, uh, DFS anymore. Couldn't play any, uh, underdog contests anymore. Um, and so I convinced my partner, Hey, after all these years, let's move so I can play underdog. Um, so we've relocated to the West coast of Canada out here with the John Warners and the Jacob Sanderson. Um, so I'm back in the streets now. Um, so wait, yeah, you, you literally moved because of underdog. It played a part in like the reasoning. I mean, obviously being out by the mountains, the ocean, the nature was a big part of the factor, but also, Hey, you know, fantasy is probably one of my biggest hobbies. So like, let's include that in another positive as to why we can move out there. That's awesome. That's awesome. Well, guess what? We have the one Oh four here in this pit bull draft. We're going to get this underway here in a second. Anything that you like to do here, obviously you're kind of in that, that wide receiver range or do you do something funky? Yeah. Typically I'll just be the Jamar chase Puka guy. Um, you know, I'm ETR subscriber, so they've had Puka ahead for quite a bit. Um, I'm kind of cool with either. I'd probably lean with Puka anyways. Um, The only other one that I typically pull up is JT. just if I want to get get an early running back I kind of feel like we're kind of hitting a little bit on his value after what he looked like last year I know obviously the situation's a bit different Daniel Jones coming off the injury but I mean he was such a stud last year for when he was healthy but I feel like he's I'd rather take him than CMC if I'm reaching up to pull up running back yeah it's interesting we were talking about that CMC versus Taylor thing as far as how it pertains to weekly winners on Tuesday and just that idea of like those 30 point weeks from the running backs up top is really what you need uh to win that contest and how CMC is probably a little bit more of a floor play in just his likelihood to hit 20 but as far as likelihood to hit 30 I mean with Jonathan Taylor and the explosiveness it's hard not to prefer him in in that regard yeah like you said CMC is I don't know how much fun it is watching him these days where it's just like he's binking 20 catches or like 10 catches and that's how he's getting your points he's not efficient at all where it's like JT uh you've got that home run hitting ability these days so I'd rather watch that so what uh what do you do for work yeah I work uh sales in a uh how can I put it I guess the procurement space software for procurement uh a lot of artificial intelligence kind of involved I'm not a big AI guy but uh hey it pays the bills so okay all right very good and I assume then getting to work from home draft a lot of teams in the mix yep uh that was part of the reason it was like hey we can live anywhere um love living in Toronto one of the best cities highly recommend anybody to visit it but uh after spending a lot of time in the city you want a bit more space so hey if we can live anywhere why not live out by the uh the west coast there you go sounds nice so is that is that Vancouver or nearby you said yeah a couple hours away we're in the interior BC it's about four hours place called Kelowna uh it's kind of people joke and call it Kelowna fornia it's very similar like climate to California uh it's on the water huge massive lake so really good great place all right you're on the clock by ADP Bowers London Nico Pickens Jeremiah Love who do you want to pair with Puka let's go Bowers uh I'm a Raiders fan at heart um but also just a Bowers bull I'll uh even if I wasn't a Raiders fan I'd be jamming him in there pretty much every draft was that like a an adopted fandom how does a good old Canadian boy like you become a fan of the Raiders yeah I think just as a kid um you know in my mid-30s that was kind of like the only time we were ever good was when Rich Gannon was there and I was like in the fifth grade uh and I thought wow these guys with all their psychotic fans and the the jerseys just being so clean I became a fan and I mean it's ruined the rest of my life in terms of uh sports fandom because pretty much every Toronto team has sucked my entire life other than the Raptors so uh yeah there you go there you go well I apologize that that happened to you um we are on the clock here uh Devante Smith, Brees Hall, Zay Flowers, Alave, Agbuka, Kyron anyone you like here let's go uh let's go Brees yeah let's do some Brees here uh although were you watching the randomizer with Danny Heifetz he says no points for Brees any game the Jets lose are you okay with that I'm okay with that um you know I've faded Danny many times over the years so uh hey we'll bet on it again Dane in the chat says I live in Manitoba and me and my family are doing a road trip at the end of the month to Toronto then to uh how do you say that Tobermory yeah for that that's a Canadian-ass name if I ever heard one Tobermory yeah really cool place has like a uh a grotto that you can hike up to it's super popular now like I remember going as a kid where it wasn't very touristy um but yeah it has a really cool grotto that you can go up to swim great hike uh unbelievable area the Tobermory spot dude this actually this looks incredible look at that shot there okay it looks like the scene from the Odyssey with the uh with the whirlpool in there uh that's incredible uh all right sounds good all right enjoy your trip Dane looks lovely uh Brees Hall Pukunukuwa Brock Bowers uh what uh it sounds like you're a pretty big underdog drafter you know if you made you know partly a move because of it what kind of contests are you piling into right now yeah I mean we only moved like this is my first week in the house uh we actually drove across our dog so that took a bit of time um was jamming drafts in whenever I had uh service along the way because a lot of that drive is you're literally just in woods and mountain um for as far as the eye can see uh so I've been just trying to get my BBM kind of fill to match the fill rate um so I'm just at about a hundred hundred or so BBMs um I've been in the pit bull streets probably do a lot of them out the rest of the month um but yeah after this I'm looking forward to just doing a lot of the daily stuff as well who uh any any big stands for you so far this draft season uh Jeremiah Love appears to be one I wasn't a huge fan of him coming out because I felt a lot of his production was against bad teams I mean he's good prospect profile but uh yeah oh yeah almost on the clock but uh it just so happens that the way the third round falls I'll eat that value up no matter what yep all right I'm setting the queue here by ADP the ETN fall to 4-7 uh Scadabo, McLaurin, Loveland if you want to go crazy at tight end Evans, Montgomery who's the pick here we'll see what Groovy Greg does he goes Tootin so Scadabo, McLaurin, Loveland, Evans, Monty yeah let's go Terry um another guy that I've got a lot of uh I mean the solver a lot of uh Daniels um and so in turn I've ended up with a lot of Terry too that is a funny one you mentioned because it's like they're higher on Adams and Evans there but they're also high on Daniels you kind of actually have to pre-plan it a little bit grab McLaurin maybe ahead of those guys but then know you're in the sweet spot in the sixth to pair him with Daniels yeah I've got a pretty high exposure on Adams and I'm trying to bring that down um we flew out here like a couple of weeks back to to look at homes and while we were here I was jamming drafts and at that time they still had like Adams was incredibly high um I think even a bit higher than he's ranked now which I think they've got about 50 or so um and so I was up at like 23-24 percent on Adams and I'm like I I don't feel comfortable with that at all yeah yeah you had to dial it back down we're back on the clock well speak of the devil if you want to set up that double stack Adams is here Judd let's do it let's do it after all that yeah I mean it's it's a good price slightly past ADP we have Puka um we're in on the Rams here I do like kind of over team correlating in these smaller contests as well I mean a 106-105 that won't be too difficult to emerge from so uh we are in we are in good shape here yeah uh Jerry in the chat says no one regrets moving from Toronto to the west coast of Canada is that a pretty classic pilgrimage for Canadians I don't know I feel like I know quite a handful of people that have um Toronto I mean no offense to Vancouver and you know the other big cities in Canada but Toronto kind of just stands alone and like it's sheer size and just everything I mean it's the epicenter of pretty much everything in Canada um but the lifestyle is just way more laid back the further you go out west so I'd say that's probably the the reason you see a lot of people come this way I I feel like you Canadians are taking over it's I I do often on the clock with John on Tuesday then I'm doing ship chasing with Jacob on Wednesday then I have Dane in the chat I have Jerry in the chat I have you getting on stream I just cannot escape you Canadians what is going on you gotta take a trip up here I would like to we were talking we're at the ship chasing meetup in Austin and there's some next year um I've been to Toronto I've been to Montreal have never been uh to the west coast up there obviously Seattle but never over to Vancouver so I would like to make that trip yeah Montreal is easily my favorite city in Canada that's where I went to university so I mean oh wow we get sniped two picks ahead there on Daniels yeah Daniels goes it happens so yeah probably looking at Harrison uh Ramondre Metcalf Lemon QJ yeah let's go Marv uh grab Marv here at are you uh are you a Marv skeptic cautiously optimistic how are you handling him he's a polarizing guy I I keep seeing the clips um I had a buddy in one of my leagues it was at like one of their practices the other day and was just telling me how awful it looked um besides all the video that kept coming out um but I mean the profile is who knows what what if the guy gets traded uh gets a new kind of a little bit of scenery But otherwise, I'm confident that the talent can win out. It seems like it's more in his own head than anything. Yep. Let's see here. Yeah, I think he's worth a stab at these prices for sure. All right. By ADP, Lemon, Pollard, Kraft, Dak, Pierce, Reed, Sutton, Lawrence, Downs. What do you want? Yeah, this is a tough spot. I'd just say Pollard. Yeah. This is probably my least favorite spot in every single draft. I do tend to end up reaching on a couple quarterbacks every now and then. And I know Jacob talked about it yesterday, where he's just taking back-to-back quarterback and being done in kind of this spot or the round later, where it's very flat. I mean, not many of these receivers appeal to me, and the running backs are kind of gross. Yeah, it is. We have Brees, probably time to add someone there. Pollard, yeah. And now you have Chuba starting to dip a little bit as people get a little more hype on Brooks. Harvey is a tricky one. Rico there, I think, is a solid pick as well. And then you're kind of into the quorum Dobbins. But yeah, it probably makes sense. Like you said, it was either grabbing a naked quarterback like a Dak, Herbert, or Lawrence, or just grabbing that running back there. But yeah, that is not a fun. That is not a fun portion of drafts right now. Yeah. And I feel like even, I mean, maybe not as much now with the neighbors' steam, but guys like Dart, you were able to grab for a while going naked. They would slip a little bit because people were skeptical. I mean. Yep. Yeah. Moods, becoming a YouTube member here. If you guys want to draft with us on future Bash episodes, just become a YouTube member. Any level will do. Although, if you also want access to the Best Ball Afterdarks, like the one I'm doing with Shady Advice, make sure you are subscribed to the Value Hounds tier. And not too long from now, we will be dusting off the Hand Builder and Opto Bro tier. That will, of course, always include the Discord channel, but also the Sunday Morning Crams, a 90-minute show up through inactives coming in on Sundays as we get you ready for the slate. Can't believe we are basically, I don't know, four, four and a half weeks away from, from those. So, all kinds of perks with your YouTube memberships. Take advantage of those. And we are taking advantage of some values in this draft. Puka, Bowers, Brees Hall, McLaurin, Adams, Marvin Harrison, and Tony Pollard here as we head to our pick in the eighth round. Looking at the Stafford stuff, his ADP is 106. It's kind of an interesting spot. Like, you can probably for sure lock him up at 100. Do you trust the room to push him all the way to 160? Yeah, probably not. I feel like in this, some of these time box contests, people just start jamming QB just to make sure they're not falling too far behind. Yeah. On the clock here, Godwin, Laporta, Wilson, Mahomes, Dobbins, Menungai. What would you like to do here? Let's go, let's go Godwin. We'll get Godwin here. And I like Godwin. Get our fifth. Fifth wide receiver does give us another quarterback out. I guess the only thing, yeah, if we, if we go Stafford here, we're playing a little loose at running back, but can we capture the end of some tears at 117, 124? Possibly. Possibly. Yeah, somebody once said running backs don't matter. So we can always go with that. That person got stuffed in a locker for a few years, myself included, for tailing that advice. Yeah. Solver does like the idea of just grabbing Stafford here. Certainly makes sense with Puka and Adams. Now that Dobbins is off the board, I don't feel too bad about passing on running back here. Is this just the Stafford selection for us? Yeah, Stafford for me. Yeah. Let's lock up Stafford here. Solver likes it, you know, worthy in the conversation, but at five wide receivers, let's get our first quarterback here. And as always, if you guys want to get the overlay that you're seeing here, the Solver, get your exposures, your combo ownership. I don't have my combos loading for this, you know, specific time box contest because I'm mostly in slows right now, but you can take advantage of that. Promo code Pete will get you 20% off your Solver subscription. How are we doing here, Huey? Stafford, Brees, Pollard, Puka, McLaurin, Adams, Marvin, Harrison, Godwin, Bowers. Yeah, not bad. I mean, we've got the best tight end in the league. We've got a decent. We've got a decent wide receiver room. I think I'm more than content with waiting on a second tight end. I feel like there's a lot of kind of late flyers and fallers. But yeah, running back, we're going to have to make up a little ground. So let's hope we have some fallers to us here in the next round. Judson says, did I mention the Boston hype? No one can guard him at Browns camp. We touched on it briefly during the randomizer draft with Danny Heifetz. I believe we did take Denzel Boston on. That team. Yeah, I love I love hearing it. You know, Boston's been a guy I've been targeting. I think, you know, in that 150 to 160 range, he's kind of being overly punished for being a Cleveland Brown, although at this point, maybe he steams up because of this drumbeat Lou Dog wondering Hall of Fame game showdown show. I think you're going to have to go over to establish the run for that. I'm sure Cody and crew have you taken care of. There is some talk in the hand builders channel in the Deposit Kingdom discord. Nick kicked us off. With the, you know, the Tyrone Baggins gif of anyone got that showdown alpha for tonight. Do you dabble in any of the salary cap dark arts? I definitely will. It was, again, something I did years ago. And then because it hasn't been legal, I have not partaken in quite a long time. So you will see me in those streets in the coming weeks. I will say last year I was involved in a sweat. One of my guys. Good friends had a line on the Thanksgiving Day slate that he was sweating for the Millie. And we did a little roster tinkering halfway through the second game for the night cap. And he took down the Millie solo. So we were all in a discord call. He was he couldn't watch the game. He was too nervous. He was out back smoking cigarettes on his porch. And we're watching the game, giving him a play by play of what's happening. And so, yeah, that that. That was my salary cap kind of experience for the last couple of years was sweating that with my buddies. That's incredible. That sounds fun. What's their username? I'm not sure what his username is on on the site that will not be named, but he goes by Best Man. OK, he's actually a professional video game coach is his day job. So there you go. I love it. Do you want to do Baker with Godwin Concepcion's here? Bill is here if you want to get a running back. What do you think? Let's go, Bill, and then try to just push Baker. OK, yeah, I think you're probably right. Just with only two running backs. We also have outs to, you know, you can do Mendoza with Bowers. We can do back stacks. Probably makes sense to make sure we don't get fully boxed out at running back there. We got a couple new YouTube members here. We got Jay Luff or JL UPFF there. We got breaking best ball. Welcome here, you guys. Best man from Halo Willis is wondering, is that the same best man? Is he a Halo? That is the same best man. Yeah. Is he a legendary Halo player? I take it. Yeah. So I'm from back in the day. Like I used to go to all the video game events in like 2005. And so a lot of these guys that I'm friends with from the Halo community, we all used to go there. He was a professional player probably from like 2007 to like 2010. 2011. And now, yeah, he's a professional coach for Shopify's Halo team. Wow. All right. So that is very cool. Decisions would be like Baker stacked up or if you want another decent running back. Yeah. Baker's cool with me. All right. Let's do it. We'll get Baker with Godwin. Plenty of back stack options there as well. So we got a two, three, five, one. We're going to have to, you know, stay a little on guard at running back. But Stafford Baker, Brees, Pollard, Bill, Puka. McClurin, Adams, Marv, Godwin, Brock Bowers. We're doing good there. Yeah. The chat going crazy for that. What is MLG again? So that's Major League Gaming. That was like one of the OG kind of like professional gaming leagues back in like the early 2000s. Cool. So you had like Halo, Super Smash Brothers, a couple of fighting games, other fighting games as well. Yeah. Yeah. And then like Gears of War that were at those events. Man. So this dude is a legendary Halo player and binked a Millie on Showdown. Sounds like a cool dude. Yeah. Yeah. Pretty unbelievable. So, hey. There you go. Is this friend, Bestman, is he in the underdog streets? He a drafter? He's not much of a drafter. It's the one thing I try to get all my DFS. bros onto, uh, the, the best ball streets. And they're like, well, the money doesn't come for months. So it's like, what's the point? I'm like, come on guys. It's fun. It's a hobby. It's a hobby. Come on. The water's warm. Uh, exactly. Love it. Um, all right, let's see what we're working with here in the middle of, or I should say at the end of the 12th round, we got the two, three, five, one. We're here drafting a pit bull to $20, 10 entry max contest with a hundred K up top Tyler Huey. Who's revealing that he rubbed shoulders with the best of the best in both halo and DFS. Anyone you're eyeing here, I guess Tracy would kind of be the end of a tear break at running back, uh, stribblings moving up boards here. Uh, McMillan, if you're not worried about that injury there, but also Cooper, what do you think? Yeah, it's, it would probably be Tracy or even just Chig, like just, oh, there goes Chig anyways. It's probably Tracy for me then. Yeah. Do you like him? He goes, so Woody Marks is here. If you like him at wide receiver, I would take Woody. I, I haven't been taking much and I kind of feel like I need to get my exposure up there and I know this is not the place to do it, but, uh, yeah, get your Woody Marks exposure. No, I will definitely be drafting him a lot more. Not that I think he's obviously a star or anything, but I just feel like I think Montgomery is dust. Um, and so if I think that I should be drafting more Woody, it just, I find a lot of the time in this range, like you see the guys like Hunter, a lot of the tight ends is where I ended up going in kind of this spot of the draft. So it's been tough to get them in. Yeah, no, I think Mark's again, we're, we're kind of thin at running back, which is Brees Pollard bill. So stack, up marks there and then probably makes sense to swing back to wide receiver. And then we can kind of really hammer some other running back picks down the stretch. Um, wide receiver options, uh, Omar Cooper, Jalen Naylor, who the best ball breakfast audience is trying to get me to draft Denzel Boston. I mean, Naylor and Tucker are vaguely interesting if we do a Mendoza double stack, but it's also really hard to pass on a Cooper or Boston. Boston does go here. What do you think? I would be Tucker, um, as Raiders fan, like I know we gave Naylor the money, but I just don't see it. Um, and I still feel like somebody is going to be brought in. Um, and yeah, person like Trey Tucker is always going to have a role. Um, and at this point we're kind of just drafting a guy for a spike week. And I think he's way more likely to get some of the spike weeks for us than, uh, Jalen Naylor is who I think would just be like kind of a guy they look to, to help move the change with Bowers. Do not, I don't know if you watch best ball breakfast, man, but the Naylor bros came after me. They were, they were enraged by my fade on Jalen Naylor. Well, I'm here to tell them that they might be in the wrong on this one. Yeah. Don't take it from me. I don't know. No, you guys are going to trust me on this. Take it from our Canadian friend. All right. He's a reliable narrator. We have another person once blamed Canada. So there you go. There you go. There you go. Uh, Canada, if you lose all of your money playing best ball this year, just blame it on the country of Canada. Uh, it, it can be our scapegoat there. We do have five more picks here. Two, four, six, one. We're not really behind anywhere. And I think we did good with the wide receivers in that running backs are kind of all the top of the board here for us. Henry Gadsden also kicking around at tight end. Anything you're thinking about here in the 14th round? Yeah. I mean, I kind of want to see what tight ends fall off. I do like Bigsby, um, kind of that running back area. I know I might get sniped now. Cardinal sin of, uh, you know, Evan Silva would be, Evan Silva would be distraught right now that I leaked what I wanted to pick. Um, but yeah, a guy like Bigsby, I think is great. Um, tight ends are really coming off now. So it might be forced our hand a little bit. Cause we're starting to get into the kind of the friar move tier of guys. Uh, Spears, Bigsby here, either of those guys look, although we have Pollard. So you said you like Bigsby. Yeah. Let's do Bigsby. Yeah. Let's do Bigsby here. That gets us the fifth running back. So we're kind of catching up nicely. You know, we, we add marks in Bigsby to this room. We're kind of catching up nicely. We, we add marks in Bigsby to this room. Two, four, six, one, one 72, you know, Mendoza has kind of a wide range of where he goes. Um, you could maybe try to push him to one 89. If you like that third QB or lock him up early. Yeah. I'd be fine with pushing him. Uh, I'm not usually much of a third QB bro. I get the, the argument for it. Um, but it's tough. The only other, the only other, the only other thing to think about is both Mendoza and Kate Otten, who makes sense for this team. Otten with Baker as our second tight end Mendoza to complete the double stack. Both of them have, uh, almost identical ADPs, uh, at one 89. So if you wanted both, you'd probably take one early, but again, I'm not going to force us onto that. Hawkinson also popping here. You could do Coleman if you like him, be Rob Lloyd, et cetera. Yeah. Let's wait and see what we get here. Hawk goes, it goes Hawk. I was going to say Hawk, um, pretty bullish on him, but, uh, let's just, let's just pull up Otten. Um, yeah, let's grab Otten here as our stacked up tight end. I mean, we definitely have a decent amount of correlated plays still, you know, T Ferg, of course, maybe he kicks around, uh, Ted Hearst, I think is a strong dart with Baker. Um, we can do the Mendoza thing. Uh, so we've got some options here. Yeah. Yeah. I would have loved Hawkinson there though. Uh, I know Jacob's always hounding on, um, how, uh, oh, now I'm going to blank on his name. Uh, Juwan Jennings is just absolute dust. Uh, and like the Hawkinson thing, the guy's a good player and he's coming off, he's coming off a pretty serious injury. And we've seen a lot of guys right after a year look much better. And I'm kind of fully expecting, him to be a safety blanket. If it's not Jefferson, um, it's going to be Hawk. I mean, cause Addison's kind of that downfield guy. So yeah. Yeah. Hawk, he, he does seem a little too cheap in that there's a lot of enthusiasm for this offense with the other pieces and he's getting, you know, discounted pretty heavily here. So yeah, I think, you know, I, I, I found myself clicking him a lot in eliminators. Uh, I certainly take him on Kyler teams. I think he makes sense in this range, although breaking ties in favor of Otten, even if Hawkinson was on the board, not the worst thing in the world. Uh, we got the picks ripping around the board about to pick in the 16th. Um, looks like by ADP, uh, Ferguson Mendoza, both correlated pieces here. Um, Sean Tucker also paired. With Baker. I'll put him in the queue for people. Um, yeah, I'll, uh, you know, I'm, I'm changing my ways. I'm using the queue here. We're on the clock. Who do you like? Yeah. I'm cool with what either Ferguson or Mendoza, whatever you're, you're kind of leaning is. Um, I think with a Stafford Baker, I kind of liked the third quarterback there. Yeah. No, I can appreciate that too. I watched, uh, on our drive, I was listening to the establish the edge with Gretchen. I'm talking about, um, the Rams at one point. And as much as I'm bullish on them and still think, you know, they're going to be a high powered offense. Part of his argument on some of the lower projections was like, Hey, you know, they want to keep them healthy. Maybe they run the ball more and just, uh, try to get them to the playoffs. And so that's a little bit concerning, but, uh, so yeah, having a third quarterback, I think is, you know, probably a good call. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I I'm just like the Mendoza stuff in these tournaments. Uh, we'll be able to survive him not playing five, six games. It'll be fine. Um, and then we'll, uh, we'll get to reap the benefits. So Ferguson comes back. So, I mean, at this point might as well, right? Yeah, let's do it. Yeah. I guess the only thing would be, or do you prefer Tucker as a running back six that's correlated? No, we'll take Ferguson for in honor of Davis. There you go. You know, Davis really struggling as an influencer because we just got Terrence Ferguson, uh, 16 picks. Past ADP, his grip on the best ball populace is loosening. One more pick here. Is this probably a, a running back or wide receiver? I think you could make the case for either Puka, McLaurin, Adams, Marv, Godwin, Tucker, Brees, Pollard, Bill, Marks, Bigsby running back slightly weaker. Uh, probably. Yeah. Yeah. I would probably lean running back. I think there's a few kind of fun clicks. Uh, I think there's a few kind of fun clicks. oh man justice hill that'll that'll be a good day when i don't have to look at his name at the uh the top of a suggestion you know it's uh it's enough already with justice hill it's been it's been a decade it feels like at this point him and him and rashad bateman are the two i just like come on what are we doing here i know and it is so funny how our perceptions change on these guys tony pollard is like a poster boy like tony pollard used to be the sexiest zero rb target imaginable it was just like oh man i gotta reach for tony pollard like and now he is like one of the grossest clicks like no one is excited to click uh tony pollard and yeah bateman and justice hill like i remember you know doing our early ship chasing streams with with pat and we were we loved both of those guys coming into the league bateman and justice hill you know so excited about them and like they never have the true breakout but their longevity in the league is is legitimately impressive yeah you Mm-hmm um yeah so if you're looking at running backs here um you know we're into rookie flyer territory honestly a couple of the handcuffs to like you know braylon allen singleton uh jordan james clayborne uh i'd be a mike washington or uh uh demon clayborne i've been clicking him quite a bit lately so white washington just goes so maybe we go clayborne here yeah all right let's i mean i i just don't trust either of the guys to stay fully healthy and on uh minnesota and even if one gets hurt like clayborne's going to be the next man up to have at least some sort of role i haven't been clicking much mike washington but i do agree just on a mendoza team uh yeah hoping that he does you know clearly win that rb2 role i guess at this point i just don't know if that's for sure a lock i feel like i have you read any mike washington blurbs this preseason i haven't heard much about him no not really um i haven't even seen anything really coming up on like the raiders like kind of all the the twitter follows so uh yeah seems pretty quiet it does eerily quiet uh some might say here uh all right let me recap this team that i just drafted with tyler huey here our new canadian friend always adding more canadian friends in my internet orbit matthew stafford baker mayfield fernando mendoza at quarterback bruce hall tony pollard bill woody marks bigsby and damon clayborne at running back puka mclaurin adams marvin harrison chris godwin trey tucker at wide receiver and then brock bowers kate otten and terrence ferguson they're always fun when you can stack up your three quarterbacks with their three tight ends maybe a little weak at running back but how do you feel we did here yeah pretty good i'd agree a little light on running back um but again they don't matter and this is the year where we're going to be that returns so uh we're all good we are all good yeah i would say yeah the bruce anchor pollard you know pollard's pretty important for this team um need some standalone value from marks um probably one of bigsby or clayborne to hit but i can i can see us threading that needle here at running back definitely love the the quarterback wide receiver tight end stacks here um beautiful stuff man it was great drafting with you i'm not going to lie to you i'm not going to lie to you i'm not going to any other parting shots here yeah no i appreciate the opportunity uh it's awesome we keep the community engaged and involved like this so thankful for that uh the only thing i'll say is it's just very sad that we've uh lived for so long to see pat becoming a boomer when it becomes uh when it relates to drafting so yeah please if you're watching like come back bro it's okay i know we'll do our best we'll do our best to bring him back to the good side to the zero rb ways uh but if you want to uh listen to me talk to a man who who might have you know uh influenced some of pat's takes this uh off season with his sims it is none other than shady advice i'll be talking to him at 8 p.m eastern available for youtube members of that best ball value hounds tier otherwise great show today fun stuff thank you to danny heifetz from the ringer very fun randomizer show willis of course the og getting on the bash and our new friend tyler hughes will be back next thursday noon eastern i still need to book the randomizer guest for next week but we will have that as well as the bash enjoy the rest of your thursday enjoy football being back tonight the hall of fame game we'll see you guys next time on the channel peace
