🎉 The Man Bringing Chaos To The Flock League

- Big, big show today, the randomizer is back. And we have Rome, the host. You know him from Survivor, you know him from the flock league. And today he is going to get introduced to our beloved randomizer wheel. And then following the show, I'll do a couple of drafts with you guys on the bash. I'm Pete with Rome. Let's get to it. (upbeat music) Randomize! Never made it as a tie-down. How is that? - Wow. - No one has ever seen a bigger deck. - He's a bit hard to tie that. - She's such a good fucking girl. - We ain't no strangers to me. - When it comes to sports trivia, I am the man. - I have no idea it's in granola. I thought it was just granola. - Emo Cowboys coming for you, John Degel. - They say I'm getting a little bit older. That streaming's a young man game. - Welcome to the randomizer. Pete, take it away. - All right, here he is, Rome. You see him blowing up on YouTube. You can't go watch a flock league video without seeing all the comments talking about Rome. How does it feel to be back in the reality TV spotlight again? - It's pretty interesting because obviously the flock league didn't have as many eyes on it last year, but now that it seems like I'm right at home, honestly. People are loving it. They're enjoying what I'm doing. And it's weird because I'm really just being myself and doing what I believe in. And people are finding it entertaining, which is nice, so yeah. - Because obviously survivor, massive show, but then the flock and how massive that league is on YouTube is the intensity of fan reactions actually pretty comparable or does one feel like it has a greater magnitude? - No, realistically, survivor was much bigger. When it came to the fan reactions, the amount of tweets that I would get after every episode, the crazy DMs, there was one week where I, it least got 75 DMs at least, right? Like, so it's pretty drastic the difference, but also you gotta remember tens of millions of people watch survivor live, so it's kind of hard to compare, a little bit, but it's definitely still cool to see the comments and things like that go crazy. It's pretty fun. - Yeah, I guess it's just like the YouTube commenters on say the flock, like they're naturally internet native. So they're ready there, they know how to find you, but that's impressive if like the 45 year old mom's watching survivor are hitting you up in Twitter DMs being like, what the hell did you do? - Oh yeah, yeah, it's pretty crazy. Yeah, you get people all the way from teenagers all the way up to 67 years old, it'll DM me. It's pretty crazy. - So what was like, obviously it sounds like you probably follow Mason, you heard about the league. What was your like background with fantasy football? - So I've been playing fantasy football for ages at this point. I've been pretty much doing DFS and things like that. I used to back in the day when draft Kings was first starting. I used to like sell draft Kings, sell draft Kings slips or whatever, you know, like the best combinations to do for each week. That was before like it became really like really popular to do that or whatever back in the day. And so like I've just always been in the DFS scene. And so when it came to fantasy, obviously I'm gonna try to be the best possible at that. So I used to watch watch Sal and Mason and it's actually funny, Sal and me have a DM history from 2019. I reached out to him about a question that I had for fantasy. And this is when he was like, you know, nowhere near the level that he is now. So it's pretty cool that like we even have that history like seven years ago, if I was talking about fantasy football. We got pretty in depth about like some really random bench players, so it was pretty fun. Yeah. - Dude, I need to go look at mine and maybe Sal remembers this too, but like when he was just starting out and I wasn't like that far along either. I was maybe like one or two years ahead of him having started. And he DM me and he was like reaching out to a bunch of people trying to get his start. And now he's like, you know, one of the biggest creators in the space. So there you go, we're all at Sal's DMs there at the start. All right, we're about to do a randomizer draft. Just to level set, what do you know about the randomizer? I it's always curious to know how blind you're coming into this. - You're gonna ask me a bunch of questions, like one question in between each pick, I think. That's how it's gonna work. - That's pretty good. Yeah, I mean, it's, I wouldn't say necessarily a question. Some of them are prompt, some of their challenges. And each one of them will give you the chance to successfully pass the prompt. If you do, you get to pick whoever you want for that given pick. If you fail, there's often a punishment player that you have to take. So from your perspective, it's can I draft the best possible team here? Or am I gonna be saddled with a lot of punishment picks? - Got you, got you, got you. - Okay, okay, sounds good. - And this is gonna work out well because I was hoping that this initial 12 person draft would fill so we could get people in from the audience who are watching now. So I just got in the $3, 12 person draft. There are plenty of spots available. So we'll get this filled. If you guys are watching hop in there, it isn't a tournament. We're not gonna ruin the integrity of a contest. This is a self-contained 12 person league. While we get this draft to fill, let me know, are you obviously your plan in the flock league? $100,000 on the line. What kind of other fantasy leagues do you plan? - So I've got like a couple of smaller leagues. I got my main home league that I'm in. That's just with friends. It's a 12 man super flex. Super flex. We've been doing it for I think like seven, eight years now. That's the league that I've actually won back to back in. So I'm back to back champ in my home league and my most importantly, so feeling good about that. Hoping to three Pete there, but honestly this year I'd much rather win the flock league championship in my home league. So, but I think I'm in like a total of like four or maybe five this year fantasy football leagues. So not too many when it comes to like how many I do, but the ones that I do I focus really hard on that try to win. So yeah. I assume this is the most money you've ever played for with this $100,000 top prize. - Yeah, yeah, like not even a question, not even a question. Yeah. So it's like a one in 12 shot at you know, at $100,000 survivor was a one in 18 shot at a million. So it's like, you know, so it's pretty, it's pretty close to Tom Parry, you know, not too far off. - Yeah, and you were telling me before the show, you got some kiddos on the way here as well. So I assume that stimulus would be pretty nice for all of the future parent expenses. - Yes, yes, the prize pool definitely made it easier to tell the wife like, hey, I'm going to be focusing a lot on fantasy football. While we're going to be having newborns in the house, you know, it's definitely definitely a nice, nice way to be able to use that as a little bit of leverage. - I bet. What is your partner think of all of this? Obviously first going from survivor. So I assume she's used to it to now, can she wrap her head around the size of the flock league? - Yeah, I think she can. Yeah, I think she's pretty used to it at this point. Like, it's funny because she always tells me like, man, like, should I have ever told you about survivor right? Like, she's like, because now I can just completely change to our lives. But it's honestly so, it's such a blessing. 'Cause I had no idea what survivor was. I'd never even heard of it like a year before I played. I was just bored, not a TV shows to watch. I was like, baby, do you have any TV shows to watch? And she was like, he used to watch a show called Survivor with my mom growing up. And so like, I tried a random season, fell in love with it binge like every episode of every season in like three months applied. And then six months later, I was on my island. So it was a really quick turnaround for me. But it did change my life and changed our life in an absolutely incredible way. So yeah, we're really happy about it. - What things do you still do now that are kind of like related to the survivor universe? Are there like, you know, alumni, appearances, type stuff you do? - Yeah, so I host like, like survivor watch parties. It's like the big thing that I do during the season. So like for season 50, we had a big premiere party that was in Phoenix, Arizona. We had like 300 fans all show up to a sports bar. You know, I sell tickets for it and everybody shows up. I fly out like, you know, five to 10 different survivor players, a couple winners, things like that. And the fans get to meet them, hang out, you know, they get to get all their stuff signed that they want. And just have a great time watching the episode together. And it was such a great time. I also hosted one in Kansas City earlier this year and then came back to Phoenix to do the finale. So yeah, hoping to hit a few more locations this year for 51 coming up in about a month. And we'll see exactly how it goes this year. But yeah, that's what I do with survivor and stuff. So it was watch parties. - That sounds awesome. We got four more people to fill this draft. Hop in $3 or 12 person league. And then we'll be off to the races with spinning the wheel. What is the experience like both with flock and survivor of not being in control of the edit and how you're ultimately portrayed. You put a lot of stuff on camera. I assume you send videos to Mason's editing team and then you just see how they get stitched together. What's that like? - It's interesting. I had my first like, you know, my first blurp with the editors this past a couple videos ago now because a new one just dropped. So a couple videos ago where they showed like a trade essentially that I never offered. But they showed it as the offer that I made to Danny and Sammy for Justin Jefferson. And it was like to Juan Johnson. And like it was just a terrible trade, right? And I was like, wait, why did you show? And the reason was because they didn't want to show the real trade because the Crystal Lava trade hadn't been leaked yet, right? It hadn't the video had to check out. - Oh, gotcha. - So they had to throw like a placeholder trade, but it was like a terrible trade. So I was just getting roasted in the comments. And that's like all it was was like, and I'm like, guys, why are you guys getting edited This way again, why guys? It was pretty funny, but but yeah, it's interesting not being in control of the edit like because even even in the chrisolave video, you know, I'm sitting here super happy about about, you know, getting chrisolave and I'm sitting here talking about man, chrisolave was my wide receiver nine on the year. I'm so happy about this trade. But all they put was me being excited about the kicker and defense and I'm like, I get it. I get it. I get it. That's right. They were going to lead it to you via the kicker and defensive guy. All right. I got good news. One, the draft field to Rome. We have the sixth slot, which if you're not familiar with randomizer being six or seven is ideal because it gives us a little time in between each pick. If we're at the turn, it can get really tricky. But we are going to get rolling here right away. We're going to see the first prompt. We have around one randomizer with Rome. What do we got? Okay, right off the rip. This one's called second thoughts. Call up Mason and tell him you feel too bad about fleecing him on his most recent trade in that you would like to undo it. Do you think you would buy this if you called him up and told him you want to undo the track? I'm using my phone for my camera. Okay. And it's crazy. This is the first day I've ever done that. I can call him on Discord. Let me call him on Discord. I doubt he's going to answer just because he's super busy. But let me call him on Discord. It's worth it. It's worth a shot here. It's worth a shot. Call it him now. Who who was in that remind me who was in that trade. It was the Alave. Yeah, it was Chris Alave. Oh, hello, Mason. Hello, Mason. Yes, I can't. You are on live, by the way. You are on live. I'm on the Peter, the Peter show. So listen, all right. I just wanted to say, man, I am sorry for fleecing you so bad in the Chris Alave trade. I'm sorry for forcing you to start Wondale Robinson week one, which you clowned on me for during the draft video and then 24 hours later traded for him. I'm sorry for for fleecing you so bad. And I just wanted you to know that from the bottom of my heart that I apologize. Unfortunately, we cannot hear Mason. So you're going to have to relay this to us. What's he say? It sounds good. And fine. What, what, how did Mason handle that? Um, he, he said he said, well, I appreciate it. And if you think that I'm starting Wondale Robinson over, uh, over. I mean, I don't know. You're, you might be a pretty good actor that you just sold a fake call. Uh, I was getting. So I, what, you were on the phone and I wasn't going to interrupt you. Technically, you passed because you got a hold of him. I didn't know who you wanted. So I did just give you Chris Alave at pick six. And that's your guy. Okay. Okay. So I'm good. It sounds good. Hey, look, flock editors. If you're watching this, do not clip a screenshot of this and say that Rome likes Chris Alave. So much that he takes him over Puka Nikua. Oh, it's going to happen. It's going to happen. All right. Let's spit a good here. Uh, round two. We already have a call to Mason under our belt here. Okay. This is called the romantic empire. Someone on Twitter sent us this in two three turn. I'm going to put Roman Hempi in the queue. I didn't even know that was a player. Rome must create an enticing dating profile about himself. If the chat swipes right, take whoever. So this is you just kind of riffing right here. If you had a dating profile, what would you put in it? Uh, you know, we'll make you laugh here for a good time. Not a long time. Last time you dated because it sounds like you're locked down. You said what? When was the last time you were dating? Like how long has that been for you? It was when I was on a dating app before I met my now wife. So yeah. Okay. What did that profile say? What was on now? It said here for the weekend. Yeah. Enjoy. Wow. So it was one of those kind of apps, huh? Uh, yeah. I mean, I was, I was out of town. I was, you know, I was out of town. I was at my dad's wedding. You know, I was only there for a few days. So, uh, you know, doing what I do. And, uh, one thing led to another. We hit it off way harder than we thought we would. Now she's my wife, man. So yeah. It crept real quick. You want AJ Brown, Brock Bowers, Nico Collins, uh, all right. Let's get you AJ Brown and not Roman, Embi, a running back on the Raiders. I just learned. So that's great. So you were like looking for just a little one night stand weekend fling and you ended up finding your future partner. Yeah. I was out of town. I wasn't looking for anything serious. She was, you know, in college, you know, like 30 year in college. So she was locked in. She wasn't really looking for anything serious either. And, uh, it ended up turning into something really serious. So yeah. It at the time, did she know you had any aspirations to do reality TV or that was just not even in in the picture yet? No, I was doing nothing even close to close to this when we met. I don't even remember what I was doing. I was doing like, it was one of those things where I was like in between things, but COVID just hit as well. So like, it was. Oh, yeah, I was working for a vegan vegetarian prepackaged food company. So random. But yeah, that's what I was doing when I met her. So yeah, what were you doing for that company? It was like, it was like a startup company, but pretty much like I was, uh, I was helping with the distribution with like the like organizing where all the drivers were going to be going. Like we got hired during COVID to take like literally thousands of meals every week up to New York. So like me and the guys were like having a relay with trucks, like taking like literally truck full of food all the way up to New York and back to DC, like every other day. So yeah, it was it was pretty pretty big, especially for the people, you know, because New York got hit with COVID pretty hard. So sorry about that. I'm taking way too long. No, dude, you're it's it's on me to move things along. You are doing great. This prompt is called no pal is no pal's Q a prickly teammate Rome spills the T on flock league members. He expects to be at each other's throats all season to take who he wants. Is there any drama bubbling up between certain members of the flock leak here. Oh drama drama drama. Uh, let's see. Uh, I'll say, I mean, not really. Uh, I'll say I'll say the the waiver gate. I'll say waiver gate between yeah between Zach and Mason. I'll say that. I'll say that, you know, they're getting a little passionate there with with the waiver situation. It's it's Mason's league, right? So like he kind of just have to stand down, right? Like nobody's going to challenge Mason too hard, right? Yeah, but you know in a league for $100,000 on the line, you know, it's like the little things do matter, you know, a lot more than they do and when it's not as much. So I understand both sides, but yeah. Okay, all right, there we got some inside info on on waiver gate there. Maybe it continues to bubble over three six you start with crystal lava and AJ Brown. Okay. Yeah, I know you like your Arizona guys there, Devote Smith, they flowers, Breeze Hall, Ladd. Yeah, give me a break, give me a break, let's do it. Uh, are you, were you, were you born in Arizona? No, I only moved here like five years ago or six years ago now. So you adopted kind of Cardinals fandom since you moved there. I'm not, I've not been a Cardinals fan up until I drafted two Cardinals. And I said, you know what, I live in Arizona and I drafted two Cardinals. I might as well be a fan while, you know, the stock is very low. So I'm officially a Cardinals fan as of the flock league draft. So, but no, I grew up in Oregon. And there's no NFL team in Oregon. So, um, naturally, I just didn't have an NFL team. I just like players, you know, I like Chad Ocho Sinko into Oregon state. I like, you know, Marcus Marriota, who went to Oregon, like just all those players. So yeah, there you go. You got the ducks going on there. Okay, round four prompt survivor is old news, cue the next NFL retiree. I guess I'll put Aaron Rogers in there. Rome pitch is a concept for a new reality TV show to Jeff probes. You can pretend I'm probes and CBS executives to take who we want. So I'm sure you've thought about this at some point. What would a Rome reality TV show look like? Well, really is just a, just a better version of survivor in my opinion. I think there's so many things that survivor can edit to make to make the show better. You think the show that I've made my lifelong mission to produce an oversee could be improved Rome. Go ahead in life. Tell me how I could make my show better. I told Jeff this to his face before I even got officially casted in an interview. So I told him that one, he always says fire represents your life, but only two people ever actually have to make fire on survivor. And only one has to win. Like it's like it doesn't represent your life at all in the game literally. Also, like just so many things. My goodness, I said that all the challenges we need the times under every single challenge. So we know exactly how long they're going for. They still haven't done that. We need, we need what else? What did I say? I did so many things. I said the jury needs to be sequestered because the first jury member ends up voting for the winner 89% of the time compared to the rest of all votes being like 72% of the time. So that means the first juror has a clear say over who wins. There's a lot of a lot of things that I said to improve the game as a whole that that survivor could do for sure. Sorry Rome, you just pissed me off telling me my beautiful show needs improvement. I just gave you Aaron Rogers here in round four. He is the next person to retire. Here's my thing is someone who enjoys survivor as well. to now like mentally during the physical challenges, especially early on when they're like tribe team challenges down the road when they're kind of endurance ones with less people. I think that's cool. But to me, I just want to see you guys at camp. I want to see the, you know, the scheming talking behind all of the interplay. I feel like the physical challenges are played out and just not interesting anymore. Yeah. I mean, they don't really do physical challenges like that anymore. Like, they don't do like hard physical challenges like brought like like what was it called? Sumo with C where like, you know, you're just on a platform with two with each person holding the bag and you just bash each other until someone falls off like they never do that challenge nowadays because they don't want people to get medevac because getting medevac ruins the game in different aspects. So they don't want people to leave medically. So it's one of those situations where they just don't do tough challenges anymore. And like, they don't want like the season 39 Dan Spilio situation happening. And now you can't sleep next to somebody without like a super glued together, double piece of bamboo that you have to lay down in between you and anyone anytime you sleep. Like it's, it's definitely a different game than it was back when the boss and Robin Amber were doing it. All right. This next prompt. This is easy. This is confessional. We want you to give a confessional the camera. What was your opinion of Davis Maddick after living with him for a week? Davis is one of our fellow basketball bros. He's beloved around these, these parts. Give us the confessional, the true Davis Maddick, IRL experience. That's a terrible guy. No, I'm kidding. No, he's an absolutely awesome guy. He'd be a great roommate. It would have had a blast with him if we were like college roommates or something. He's got the vibe of the guy that is always down to have some fun, but also knows the chill. You know, it can take his quiet time. So he's an awesome person, honestly. What, how about me? Because there's even clips of him while you guys are recording the draft order video where you guys are like all celebrating. He's literally on his phone. Was he just drafting the entire time or did he actually look up and talk to some of you guys? He was drafting. He was drafting. He would talk to us, but like he was drafting. Like he was in like, whether he was like going through his slows and making sure they were all up to date or whether he was, you know, in a live one, we're just like brother, like we're in the catch competition and you're entering a $500 big dog like what's going on? Oh, man. Who do you care? Skatabo, Mike Evans, DJ Moore, Quinchon Judkins, Lamar Jackson, DJ Moore. Sure. Let's get you DJ Moore here. Shout out to the chat here. Let's circle back real quick. Nick wants to know, as a diehard vegan, can you drop that name of the company you were talking about? Yeah. It was Honeyflower Foods. There you go. Honeyflower Foods. Shady Advice wants to mention he's doing a survivor-themed murder mystery for a friend's birthday this weekend. That sounds fun. And then go easy. Cards wants to know. I think he says DNA. I think he means India, India for the flock, legal survivor. Which one was more restrictive? Is Mason, what is Mason tell you guys about not spilling what happens? I mean, just don't say just don't say what happens before the video's out. You know, this is pretty pretty pretty simple. So I mean, yeah, the survivor was way more strict. It's like not even funny. Like it's like, it's like you spill something, you owe $2 million. It's like, whoa. Hold on. Sorry. Yeah. Way more serious. Way more serious. All right. Route six, prompt. You got a place in the flock league because of a killer submission. What a submission for season two of so you think you can tout whoever wrote this one. No promises about a season two because you actually DM me when so you think you can tout was going on. So tell me why you'd be a good co-host with me. Or if you'd want to participate as like a potential tout, toss your name in the ring for so you think you can tout. Well, I mean, when I reach out to you, I just wanted to be a part of it. Like, I want to come in special guests, something like that. That'd be kind of fun, you know, just because it had a little survivor theme to it, you know. It's supposed to be on. So you think you can tout, man, listen, I bring the entertainment at the end of the day. You know, people, people watch these shows, yes, for facts, yes, to get their ball knowledge, but also to be entertained, right? No one wants to click on a stream or click on a video and think, oh, man, this is going to be 20 minutes that I'm not going to, that I'm going to regret and want back in my life. No, you want people to enjoy it. You want people to laugh. And that's exactly what I bring, man. I bring the laughs. I bring the excitement. And I know a little bit of ball, too. So yeah. Who are your favorite touts to watch for fantasy football? Oh, man, I mean, let's see, I assume Mason is that how you got in the lead or do you not trust Mason's ball takes? So I think that I think that Mason is someone that I would always watch for like a nice baseline, but I never really thought that me and his rankings would line up too often with certain players. So I think I, I thought that me and Sal were more aligned mentally and where we view things, but after his floccally dropped, I don't, I don't know, I've brought so many questions in my heads. I don't know, man. But yeah, I like a big fan of New Tories, too, but yeah, Mason, Sal, New Tories, I guess those are like my three biggest guys, that are really follow, so yeah. Yeah. Shout out, New Tories. A good dude as well. All right. You are back on the clock. You don't have to take Mike Washington. I do think you, I would have, I should have found a spot for you within this. So you think you can tout universe. You have Aaron Rodgers at quarterback, Crystal Lava, AJ Brown, DJ Moore at wide receiver, Tramick Bright at tight end. You want to look at running backs? What do you want to look at? Uh, yeah. Let's look at running backs. We have none. Yeah. Jalen Warren, Jonathan Brooks, Tony Pollard, Rico Dowdell, Blake Corm, any favorites there? Hey, Jalen Warren, I guess like it's so we have somebody. Remind me who are your running backs in the in the floccally? I have Bijan Robinson, I have Jeremiah Love and I have DeAndre Swift and also as the Jeremiah Love Draftor. And you got clowned on that a little bit. How excited were you to see the video of him yesterday carrying the pizzas up the stairs? Listen, I have never had any doubts about Jeremiah Love's angle. Even at the draft, he was already like it had already been reported that he injured his ankle. I wasn't worried about it because the coach literally said he could have kept playing if he needed to. That was all I needed to hear. But once the coach said that, I'm like, he's fine. So when the report came out the next day, like, he doesn't need surgery, I'm like, guys, like, come on. This is literally just a reporter that asks, does he need surgery? And he said, no, like, obviously doesn't. Like the guy is fine. We see him in carrying the pizzas. We see him, you know, working along the sideline of practice. He can't even tell which ankles hurt. He's fine. He's fine. It's nice. We needed something to reshift or take back the meaning of pizza gate. Now when I hear pizza gate, I'm going to think of Jeremiah Love. Carrying those pizzas up the stairs. It is like in fantasy. It's hard this year. We took him. We did a high stakes draft the other night. $2,000 draft. He fell all the way to 312. And we're like, we're taking Jeremiah Love, man. Like, you got to shoot for the moon there if you're competing for $100,000 like you are. All right. I see you looking at this prompt here, scribbling about stribbling. We're going to cue Brandon IU. That's the punishment. You must draw a recognizable picture of Dejon Stribbling, the rookie wide receiver on the 49ers to take who he wants. Do you have a pen, a paper, anything nearby where you could attempt to draw Dejon Stribbling? Not at all. Not at all. Um. Hey, look, I just have to do what the prompts say, which means I have to put Brandon IU in the queue right now. All right. I'm getting up in. I'm getting up in. All right. He's going for it. He's going for it. Also, I love baseball shows and becomes a member and everybody freaks out. We will be doing a bash after this. It has been a while since I've done a show with best ball chosen, but I would argue it hasn't been long enough. All right. All right. So here we go. Here we go. Okay. All right. You got you have probably, I don't know, minute, minute and a half to minute and a half. Chad giving you tips. He says just draw an angel and we'll know it's him. I think I got it. We know Rome's talented, we're about to find out if he can draw. You're doing good. You still got some time or two picks away. Okay. Okay. All right. I can't wait to see with, you know, at this point, like it's definitely better than a stick figure. I can tell. We'll see. We'll see. All right. You are on the clock here, so let's reveal this. Here he goes. Whoa, dude, that's like legit good. That's legit good. You have nine. You want to take struggling? Sure. Yeah. Let's do it. I mean, why not? I mean, at this point, I mean, DK Metcalf just one. Just one. DK Metcalf's off at strip time. Look at the photo. I mean, look at the photo. Like, dude, let me, let me see a real picture here, hang on, you keep that up. I bro, bro, I think that's real good. That's honestly really good. Not bad, right? Not bad. I've impressed. I'm very impressed. That's a pass, man. I have, I have zero artistic bones in my body. So I have mad respect for anyone who can draw like that. I don't either. So that was, that was a wing in a prayer. Get it? All right. We are cruising here, heading into round eight. Oh, okay, we have, we have a quiz now. This is called Age of Empires. I'm going to put Nick Chubb in the queue. To take who he wants, Rome must correctly state the age of the Roman Empire and we're going to give you an error band of one and a half centuries. Do you know when the Roman Empire was? Yeah. No idea. 1680. Sure. Let's roll that. Not a clue. what a crack. I hate his class. I hate it. I'm gonna give you a clue. It lasted 14.8 centuries, the Roman Empire, 14.8 centuries. I mean, I have no idea. That didn't even help. Well, I already gave him that. I already gave him that. Here's the actual answer. I would have failed this to. It started in 27 BC and it went all the way to 1453 AD. Okay. What a run there for the Roman Empire. What do you think's gonna last longer? The Roman Empire or your reign as champ in the flock league? I think that my reign is champ, man. I could see myself being a four-time winner at this point. The way these guys are drafted, it's looking rough for some of them, man. So I'm feeling pretty good about my chances this year for sure. All right. There you go. I mean, if you win, what would even be your victory lap tour? Because I feel like your draft received the most hate, the most churping, and then for you to win, how are you rubbing that in everybody's faces? I mean, I really wouldn't. I saw it coming. It's y'all's fault for not seeing it. That's how that's how I would feel. I think that it's very simple to formula to win fantasy football and I think that a lot of people just don't use that formula at all. So what's the formula? Tell me the secret formula. Is you not draft? You're gonna have that team the entire season because you're not. Because you're gonna cut them and put them on the waiver wire. You're gonna cut them, you're gonna trade them, all that stuff. If you notice the second that any draft ends, any redraft ends, immediate value of running backs, skyrockets. The second that the draft ends, people, people draft how they want. And then the second that the draft ends, all of a sudden, everyone realizes, oh man, I only have two running backs. And if either one of them gets injured, all of a sudden, I'm starting, you know, like you're looking at the bottom of the barrel like RJ Harvey, things like that. It's like, do you really want to risk that? Probably not. Okay. We're gonna get rolling because this is a multimedia prompt. This is called blindside. Identify whether photos are from the 20 or the 2009 Sandra Bullock film, the sport drama, or from a survivor tribal council. You will see here what I mean in one second after I get these photos pulled up here. Okay. So is this photo from the Sandra Bullock movie or from a tribal council? Yeah, that's the blindside. That's the impression. That's correct. That's for the blindside. You're one for one here. All right, next one. Is this tribal council or the movie the blindside? Like at tribal council or just a photo of a person on survivor? I refuse to answer that question. No. All right. All right. It's from the blindside. It better not. That's not a tribal council said. Is this from tribal council or the blindside? Tribal council. Let's see the beat. Correct. That's you get your torch enough. Yeah, it's teeny. Yep. Oh, wait. Did I not get that answer up here? Is this tribal council or the blindside? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's right next to you there. Okay, you got nine seconds to take who you want. You want another running back? JK Dobbins, Minungai, Kenny Gainwell, Rashad White, Chris Rodriguez. Rashad White. Let me see if I got him in time. I did. Okay, sweet. What's that experience? You get your torch enough. You say to Jeff, I know you just put out my fire, but this doesn't actually represent my life in the game. And then where do you go? Do they get you on a dinghy right away to send you to Ponderosa? No, I walked down the path and you wait in this little tent. They put you in a tent by yourself. Like a really hot tent by yourself and you just kind of sit there and have to wait till tribal council actually is over and they actually leave the set. So for me, it was kind of crazy because I walked down and then Jeff handed everyone the buff since everyone cheered and all that stuff. So I'm just in the tent by myself hearing everyone cheering and I'm like, oh my gosh, this is dramatic. So yeah, so afterwards after that, you leave the tent, they weigh you, and you talked to all the producers and then you get on a speedboat, a really nice speedboat, and you head back to the resort. Incredible. Okay, now we're going to have to work here. This is 1000 yards. Q. Is he a band of candor Roman Pete sing along to I'm going to be 500 miles by the pretenders inserting 1000 yards for any distance reference to take whoever. Let me get, I mean, this is this is insanity here. This is shout out to our producers here. I got it. Here we go. Are you ready? Here we go. When I wake up, who wakes up next to you? I don't know the song. I don't know how to go out. You don't know the song? Yeah, I know I'm going to be. I'm going to be the man who goes along with you, Rome. If I get drunk drunk, well, I know I'm going to be. I'm going to be the man who gets drunk next to you. I'm going to be the man who's having you. I know the man who walks up. All right, grab. We have to pick. We have to pick. Oh my god. We have to pick. We have to pick. We have to pick. And I can't find my screen on the clock. Okay, we're back. Do you want Chris Rodriguez, Aaron Jones, Keith Mitchell, Harold Fanon, Bonix, George Kittle? What are these options, Kittle, Kittle, Kittle? Did I get him? Oh my god. I think we did it just in the nick of time. Holy cow. Okay. So you've never heard that song before. Not till the chorus. I'm back. I don't know. That's time to song. You just heard a million times in movies or TV shows randomly pops up. So you know the words. I've never actually heard that full song in my life. Producers failing to realize only white people know that song is layers. That song played at my wedding. So I can confirm this big sploosh. I don't want to say nothing, but you know, shout out the big sploosh. Oh, man. Good thing we're we're running out of randomizer shows this year. The producers are, you know, we're running out of ideas over here. But hey, we passed. I think we passed. Are you a karaoke guy, though? Do you like karaoke? No, no, not at all. Not at all. I'll do it if like four drinks in, but no, I'm not a fan of not a fan of karaoke personally. Yeah, we're going to put Rome in the production chat. He's going to have some ideas on how to improve this. Okay, this comes to us from Christopher Davis, shout out Christopher. It's called ball historian named two retired Steelers running backs. If you can only name one, you get to draft Rico Dotto who's already gone. Although we already draft to Jalen Warren. But if you can name zero, we have to draft Caleb Johnson. Can you name some retired Steelers running backs? Well, yeah, Jerome Betis, the guy with my namesake, you know, bus and Levion Bell. But yeah, but so what do I, what do I get now? I can draft anyone. You get to you get to draft whoever, you know, you know, you know, your Steelers history. There you go. Beautiful. Where did you always like Jerome Betis after sharing your namesake? Yeah, I mean, he was the only celebrity with my name growing up. He was the only famous Jerome. So, you know, except for like Jerome and House, but like I didn't really watch that show. So, um, yeah, it was, it was mainly just Jerome Betis and he was the bus. He used to run people over. And so that was even though I was little, I used to take that mindset into my football games like I could be a bus, too, you know, like, so yes. Um, all right, you are going to get to pick you on. Let's do a quick recap of this team. So you can see what you need to make this thing work. You do have a stack, Aaron Rodgers to Jalen Warren, uh, Nick Chubb. That was a punishment. You did get Rashad White, Chris Alave, AJ Brown, DJ Moore, Dijon Stribbling, shout out that photo. You need to auction that off, uh, for charity. Tramick, Brighton, George Kiddell, nice tight end room there. What position would you like to look at? Quarterback for sure. Okay. Uh, Bonyx, Jared Goff, Kyler Murray, Baker Mayfield, Tyler Shuck, give me, give me my boy Tyler Shuck, man. Give me my boy tagging up with with Alave. Yeah, let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do a stack, you know, little stacks. Do you, uh, did you get any stacks in your, your floccally draft? Was that something you were trying to accomplish? Yeah, I got a, I got, well, now I have Chris Alave and Tyler Shuck. So I have that stack. Um, and, uh, I believe that's the only, the only stack that I have right now. So, um, I got Matt Stafford. So we'll see if, uh, maybe I can, you know, swing a Pukinacua or Devante Adams to my team in the future. We'll see, but you never know. Beautiful. There you go. Uh, Aaron Reijers, Tyler Shuck, yeah, because one thing I was thinking about for the league, because you guys also get $5,000 if you're the highest scoring team each week. Is that true? Oh, yeah. Yep. Because that, that's where the stacking actually comes into play, where it's like, you get that one big game, Shuck to Alave. So I, I, I would think stacking is actually pretty important to get those $5,000 little bonuses. Yeah, especially in a six point passing touchdown quarterback league. Like, I mean, it's, it's, it changes the game completely. Like, it makes Jalen Hertz go from, you know, being a top six, seven quarterback and redraft all of a sudden, he's like bottom 20. So, um, or like, you know, outside of the top 20. So it definitely changes a lot. People don't even realize Matt Stafford was the number one quarterback overall in fantasy football and six point passing touchdown format. And I got him in round 13 of the flock league. So feeling great. There you go. There you go. We got another confessional for you. Tell the haters and losers why you will get the last laugh for selecting a kicker in the single digit rounds. You famously took Brandon Aubrey before anyone else grabbed a kicker. Like, are we going to act like Danny and Sammy didn't take a literal defensive player in the ninth round? Like they took Travis Hunter in the ninth round and I'm getting flagged for taking Brandon Aubrey. They put something that is literally not going to play on offense and I'm going to get get hate for Brandon Aubrey. I'm going to be laughing to the bank when Brandon Aubrey is dropping 20, 25s. All on people's head this year because the Cowboys offense is looking so dang good and so ready. They're going to be crossing that 50 hardline every single time. So every time they get the ball, he's going to be getting points no matter what. So I feel great. Are there any bonuses for for long kicks in that way? Yeah. Yeah. The longer the kick, the more the points. So if he kicks a 50 harder, it's five points. If he kicks a 60 harder, it's six points. So yeah, that's it's it's going to be nice. So you want you want the Cowboys to be good, but just good enough to get the ball across the 50, but not good enough to score. You just need the offense to stall out at about the 40 every time. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Need the offense to stall out right there. You know, CDLAM maybe drop another ball, things like that and we're good to go. Let's see here. I'll look at the running backs. You're down to Woody Marks, LG or Jonah Coleman, Martian Lloyd tank, Bigsbee, Denzel Boston, Mark Andrews Ferguson. We'll go Jonah Coleman. That sounds so excited. These run it. This is why you take running backs early. I hate drafting running backs like this. Like I just like you just never feel confident ever starting them. That's why I'd rather draft running backs in the first few rounds for sure. Even in Bestball. I hate drafting running backs late, even in Bestball, especially in bestball. Are you feeling as far as your team heading into week one right now or are you feeling good or are there still some moves you'd like to make before you set that starting lineup? I'm still trying to make moves. I've been talking with Avery about a certain trade, but I feel great about my starting lineup. I mean, shoot. My lineup is looking like one of the best in the entire league. It's funny because on the flock fantasy site, I was ranked like 11th after the draft and then the one crystal lava trade all of a sudden my team is ranked second overall out of everyone. So it's interesting how literally one trade can change the perspective on everyone. But I'm sitting here like it's the same team. It's just one player difference and everyone's all of a sudden saying my team is so great. So I already know what my team had and it's nice to see everybody else realize that too. Here we go. Round 13 prompt. Arizona ambassador. I'm in a Q James Conner and you must retrieve the Arizona state food, prickly pear cactus or other desert plant before the next pick to take who he wants. Do you have anything that is very Arizona coated in your residence here? Any prickly pear cactus desert plants? No, succulents in the house because I can get a succulent. I got a succulent back here. You can see it right over my shoulder. Let me check. Wow. I don't think I have plans. Okay. Fake Arizona resident. I'll go ahead and I'll put James Conner in the queue here. This is like when I had John Warner go get the maple syrup. And then he brought out like Anjamaimas. Yeah, definitely no plans. No plans whatsoever. Yes, we are. Would accept sand. No, we're going to fail you here. But I think James Conner is going to look real good on this team room. Oh, okay. All right. I mean, here's the question for you. Are you? Did you get LG or are you a handcuffed guy with Jeremiah love? Are you thinking about his backup? No, no, like it would be cool to have him. But like, I'm not stressing about keeping him on a roster spot. Like there's only five bench spots in the flock league. So yeah, using one of them for a handcuff is so risky. But that's also why I don't want to have to stream defenses and kickers every week because I don't want to have to keep on swapping out that last spot. I just want the best kicker in the game. That way, I don't have to worry about it and the best defense in the game when when Aaron Donald signs. So I cannot worry about that. Is it is it a waiver order or fab budget for waivers? It's it's fab budget for waivers. It's fab budget. So yeah. So you're going to yeah, keep that that. And then are you able to make like just regular transactions that cost no money or does every move cost at least a dollar? You are, but not until the season starts. So like that's something that we like we had to get clarified because that wasn't relayed to me either about how that works. So apparently it's once a week up until the season starts and then it's like free agency is open after after week one, I guess. So like that that that's when when it starts being free and things like that. So yeah. All right, round 14 prompt. What about love? Speak of the devil. Q trade Benson in Rome delivers an impassioned monologue to Jeremiah love about why he's loves number one fan. No longer Jeff props. I'm Jeff. I'm Jeremiah love now. I just got to I just got to read my DMS into him, you know, a couple days ago. I was like knowing you you might have been like, are you actually okay? Because I put a lot on you. No, I just you know, listen, listen, listen, Jeremiah man, listen, you are an absolutely incredible player man. You look like an absolute beast at Notre Dame and no one could stop you. The coach literally said that if they could use you in every way, even more that they would, you have all the talent in the world to be literally the best running back to come out in the last five to 10 years, you can do it. And this is a team and a city that's willing to get behind you and willing to rock with you. And we see the way that you're carrying those pizzas up those stairs to your teammates. Okay, and the way that you support your teammates is exactly how we're going to be supporting you here in Arizona. Okay, you're going to be you're going to love being a cardinal and you're going to absolutely smash this year. You're going to get offensive rookie of the year and who knows you might even get MVP when you leave the Cardinals do a Super Bowl. So I love that, but tell me why are you my number one fan because I hear a lot of this from other people too, because I have $100,000 right now and you so I need you to do good. Okay, there it is. There it is. All right, I'm not going to make you take trade Benson. We can look back at wide receivers. I know you don't like Travis Hunter, Cyrus Allen, Adnan Mitchell, Jalen McMillan, Pat Bryant. We'll go Jalen McMillan. We'll grab Jalen McMillan. What was your prep work for the flock draft? Obviously, a ton of money on the line. I'm sure you want to get it right where you do in mock drafts. How did you get in the right state of mind for that draft? Pretty much, it was tough because when I didn't know what the competition was going to be for like a good three weeks before the rest of the guys knew like until I got in the league. So once I got in the league, it was like, okay, I'm a little bit late on what it's going to be. It's going to be catching with a jugs machine. So I went out and bought the gloves that I was going to use. I had to get prepared for that because I knew that the draft order matters way more. That almost matters more than preparing for the actual draft itself. So I didn't really prepare for the draft itself until pretty much that week when I knew what spot I was going to take. I knew the research on all the players that I wanted to do and things like that. So I knew who I liked who I didn't like. I just didn't know where I was going to be drafting. So I really locked in on the competition first, which ended up getting second and I got beach on on my team now. This prompt, we kind of already did this, but let's let's run it back. Rome is burning. I'm going to queue Deontay Burnett to take who he wants. Rome must provide a critical review of his edit on the floccally draft, including one thing they got right to take who he wants. Anything else from the actual draft video that you like, how you were portrayed or didn't like? I mean, not really. I mean, aside from like every time that I left the room, them actually showing all this shit talking that they were doing to me behind my back. Aside from that, you know, I was cool with everything, you know, but you know, honestly, I think it was pretty cool. Like they even included the, you know, me talking about how much my wife wanted me to have Brandon Aubrey. So that was nice for sure, because yeah, she, wait, what's the tie-in with your wife in Brandon Aubrey? Well, last year was my wife's first time playing fantasy football with me. So she joined a league with me and we ended up both making the playoffs and we were on opposite sides of the playoff. She ended up getting a third in the league and I ended up winning it. And she had Brandon Aubrey on her team and Brandon Aubrey, like won her a couple of weeks by himself essentially. And so she said, listen, when you go down there, I have one rule that you come home with Brandon Aubrey. So that was my one rule. So I knew that I had to take him in a round that he would definitely get back to me. So being at the two spot, I had to take him at the nine two because there's a good chance that somewhere in the 10th round, someone would have taken him. And I don't care what they say. I think it would happen. Dude, I think here, let's actually make this pick. And then let's see, you have two quarterbacks, five running backs, five wide receivers, two tight ends. What position do you want to look at? Wide receiver. All right, wide receiver. Omar Cooper, Malik Washington, Caleb Douglas, Kisham Booty, Devon Veyley, you want a double stack? Yeah, let's do Veyley. Let's do Veyley. Why not? Yeah. Um, I was just going to say people are giving you crap about Brandon Aubrey. I didn't realize it was to preserve your marriage. Like, I mean, happy wife, happy life. You had to go and get that kicker. I'm no longer, I'm on, I'm on team team Rome on this one now. I know, man. Like, look, she's pregnant with twins. I'm doing everything to make her happy. So if she said, bring home Brandon Aubrey, if I would have came home and I would have said, baby, Sal got Brandon Aubrey. She would have, she would have lost her mind. She would have said, what are you doing? Who did you take in the ninth round? Who did you take instead? So they say pregnant woman women have weird cravings. I never thought Brandon Aubrey would be one of them though. Yeah, yeah. Brandon Aubrey is the top of the list for sure. So be real quick before we spin here. Go AZ carts or Charles is an Arizona guy as well. He wants your take on Marvin Harrison Jr. this year. What do you think? He is potentially the biggest question Mark and fantasy football. If you want to win your fantasy league, don't draft him. If you want to take a chance at winning maybe a smaller league that you're in that doesn't really matter as much, draft it. That's that's that's truly how I feel about about Marvin Harrison. He could literally be the wider seeker to this year and no one would be surprised if Michael Wilson had another thousand yards season. So there you go. Okay, this one comes from Tony Squares who cover survivor was on so you think you can tout. He says if you can't say something nice, I'm going to cue Jerome Ford. Rome has to say something nice and mean it about soul from survivor to take who he wants. Can you do it? Can you do this successfully? Yeah, I mean, he's a he's a really nice family guy, you know, really family oriented. You know, while we were out there, it was it was cool. We got to like it was Mother's Day. So I asked everybody to go around and say something nice about their mom and you know, his story was really touching and like it was his wife's birthday one day out there on survivors. So like we saw a flower that reminded him of her. And so we went there and saying happy birthday to the flower. Like it was his wife. And you know, he broke down in tears and it was really touching moment. Oh, that got cut out because I'm a villain. So, uh, see yeah, that he's a great guy, man. He's a great guy. Really really family oriented. How did the beefs on survivor? Do they carry over to real life for once you're off the island? Only for people that don't realize it's a game. I'll say that only for people that don't realize plenty of people get blindsided, get back stabbed and are fine because they realize it is a game, right? The person that you're out on the island while you're starving and hangry is not playing a game. It's not going to be the person you are in real life hanging out getting a beer. You know, so would you like Jacobi Preset on this team to throw to Tramik Bride? You like Jacobi Preset? Sure. Yeah. I mean, why not? Let's do it. I figure you could use probably use a third quarterback with Rogers and Shuck here. Yeah. He is my highest drafted bestball bestball exposure. He is. Okay. How many you been in the underdog streets? You drafted? Yeah. Yeah. Did did quite a few drafts, but then I realized that I like the guys I like and they kept falling to me. So all mine started to look the same. And I was like, I'm either going to win or I'm not. So it's like, it's no point. Keep on doing this again. We call that the Davis Maddick approach to bestball. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I drafted safety 2000 times. Yeah. Yeah. That it is funny. You mentioned the survivor thing because it reminded me of Jonathan from this recent season where he was all upset after and it was like, it seemed like he was really failing to realize it. It was a game. Yeah. And I think he should realize like he was never going to win going into the game. Period. Like people like people just aren't that fond of him as a person. So it's like it was one of those things where like he shouldn't know and he had no chance of winning. He should just win out there and had fun. Like that's that's how I look at that situation. Like if you know that most of the people on the cast just don't like you, you should just go out there and have fun. And he actually tried to win, which I think was why I didn't like it. Yeah. Okay. Rocket league man. Q the next Houston player. I have a video clip. I'm about to pull up. You're going to provide color commentary over a segment. I barely know what these words mean. But I know you do this for a living of the 20 February 22nd, 2026 RLCS Boston semi final game one victory between vitality and in our G to take who he wants are these words that you understand. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Totally. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Okay. Let me get this up here and we are going to get your play by play on what's happening here. And you can, you can know as you're skilled. Okay. I might be rusty. I haven't done this in a while now. I haven't commented in a while. All right. Here we go. And we've got beast mode going to be kicking things off and sending us right down the pitch. We're going to be having the demo coming out early. But right now beast mode is looking to make a play centers it, but not able to get that the clear is going to be there. It's going to the corner going to be rallied up by Stizzy who's going on up and he's getting the reset looking to make a unique pass. But nothing going to be there just quite yet. And here we go. Yet again, beast mode coming out, looking to put energy on top, trying to make the plays right here. Atomic going to drop it down in front of the net. But no clear to weigh yet again, beast mode able to contest. Stizzy, but Stizzy still able to get the better of him and the clear. It hits off the back wall. And now a real good chance potentially for vitality as it goes off of off the ceiling, but nobody's able to get any type of unique touches yet. And here we go. Yet again, man, great defensive plays coming out of both sides. It's a lot of unique plays coming out, but nobody's able to really get control. And so here we go. Another reset coming in yet again. It's Stizzy passes this one up to Zinn and Zinn who is known for his absolute accuracy puts a dart onto the net. But it is going to be cleared out yet again. So here we go is another reset is going to be coming out and now exotic who's known for his nice mid play is pushing the pace just quite a little bit, but yet nobody is able to get any type of scores. And we're already a minute 15 into this one. We might be looking at a golden gold type of game where if you're able to just put one away, that might need to be it, but oh, there's the double tap coming in and Zinn able to clean up the double tapping. Get the first one on the board for vitality and just like that, they go up one zero at the RLCS Boston Major. Holy shit dude. That was good. I literally had no idea what I was watching there, but I was absolutely enthralled by your commentary. I appreciate it, man. Yeah, that's what that's what I do, you know. So I have good news and bad news. The good news is you timed out on K-DOT and while successfully fulfilling that prompt, the bad news is we're also on the clock again. So we're going to I'm going to make this pick retroactively. Who do you want to be your final pick in this draft and then we'll do one more prompt? How many running backs do I have? You have five. You're looking at Sean Tucker, Kamani Vidal, Singleton. Yeah, give me Kamani Vidal. Give me Kamani Vidal. Yeah, with Keaton Mitchell banged up here. Yeah. So tell me, I need to know how did you get because you have this gig and tell people exactly what the gig is with the color commentary. Your name is obviously Rome, the host. I assume you're big into esports. How did this all transpire? Yeah, so pretty much. I grew up playing Call of Duty like pretty competitively. Like I used to travel around and go to like actual like in-person events, things like that like with the team, all that stuff. And one of my good friends that I used to play competitively with, when I was like 1920, he ended up retiring from being a pro and he turned to do a commentator for Call of Duty and he was doing it for like three years. And after a while, like COVID hit. And I was like, you know, everyone's kind of like not knowing what to do, you know, in life because a lot of people's lives kind of halted and including mine. And I was sitting here like, man, if my friend's study could do this that I've known for like six, seven years, if he could do this, I could do this, right? So I was like, you know what? I'm going to start to start commentating some smaller things. So I start commenting smaller things. And collegiate Rocket League noticed me and they asked me if I had ever commentated Rocket League before I said no, but they brought me in and then three months after commentating CRL. They invited me to CRL Worlds. So I got to commentate their Worlds event in person. How was it? How did you have the learning curve that quickly from never doing it to being able to commentate on it? How did I never played Rocket League either? Like I've never, I've never, like I still can't play Rocket League till this day. I can't even jump and touch the ball. But yeah, pretty much I got asked, like they said, hey, like we have a small Rocket League tournament next week. We need a commentator for it. Have you ever commentated? And I was like, no, but I can learn it real quick. And they were like, okay, it's next week. So pretty much there was a rocket, yeah, there was a Rocket League RLCS commentator that was just streaming on Twitch. I went into his Twitch chat and I said, hey, going to be streaming or going to be casting Rocket League for the first time. Could you give me some tips? And he and he literally on his stream, I guess he was just bored. He just went down every term that I need to know. He was like, this is what a flip reset is. This is what, you know, this is what a double tap is. This is what a clear is. This is what, you know, everything is, this is what a bump is. This is what a rule one is. And so he just went down all the terminology. So I just sit in your typing and writing down everything he was saying. And so a week later, I just use that cheat sheet to commentate. And then I just started memorizing it over time. And then eventually I just didn't need the cheat sheet. So, um, so yeah, I learned Rocket League, learned to commentate it without ever knowing how to play it. That is incredible. Did you have people early on like, I assume you would make like a couple mistakes early on. Would people be on you hard for that? Or were you just, you just had it off the rip? Uh, no, I kind of just had it off the rip. There was like a couple times where like, I didn't know what my co-commentator was talking about. Like they would say something. I didn't know what was going on. But I, you just play it off, you know, um, yeah. So like that red visor draft. Yeah, exactly, exactly. Um, yeah. So I did, I did that. And then, uh, and then three days after that event, the biggest talent agency in gaming for hosting and commentating that reached out to me and said, we think you should be on bigger stages. Do you want to get signed to our agency? And I said, heck yeah. And, uh, then three days after that, they said, Hey, uh, someone backed out of our fortnight, uh, tournament in Saudi Arabia. Do you want to fly out in four days of Saudi Arabia and commentate a $2 million fortnight tournament? And I said, I have never commentated fortnight before. I have played it, but I've never commentated it, but I'm down to go. And they said, all right, pack your bags. You're leaving in four days. So four days later, I was in Saudi Arabia, commentating a $2 million fortnight tournament. So were you cram in fortnight on that flight too? Yes, it was 22 hours of flying. And I, the entire time on the plane, I was going over terminology. I downloaded a million videos about fortnight to learn the current meta and all that stuff, because I had played fortnight. Like I used to play back when it first dropped, but fortnight two years ago was much different than fortnight six, seven years ago, right? So, um, so pretty much I had to learn the new meadows, I had a new who all the current pros are, who the pop-off players are, the storylines, who all the duos are. I just had to learn all that. So I had 22 hours of flights to just cram everything. And so, So that's what I did is just I just crammed everything and I ended up getting asked to commentate championships on day. So it was pretty pretty cool and I got to meet the crown prince of Saudi Arabia out there. He came into the green room and shook it shook everybody's hand and it was it was an experience for sure. So yeah. So in that is that kind of your your main gig now is doing those commenting or does that still pop up more in like a freelance capacity? I haven't commented anything in like a year like it's been a while, but it's really because it blew up so much during COVID because everything went online so they just needed commentators because there was a shortage. So that's kind of how I got in was COVID. But once COVID went away like all those online things just like went away as well. So then it just became like pretty much just the top tier stuff then. And so unfortunately I didn't crack into the top top highest tier of commentating. But if I would have then I'd still probably be commentating for sure because those guys are making like three, four, $500,000 a year just talking about video games. Yeah. Well, I don't know man. I'm convinced again, I don't know what you were saying, but I believed every word you said. So I hope you get some more gigs here. I mean, at the very least I saw you did do like a behind the scenes video on your YouTube channel for the flock league. I think you got to start just doing you clearly can pick up commentating on anything. I think you got to do some more fantasy football commentating. Yeah. I think I probably should like people have asked me to like not just do live streams, but actually do like videos and things like that. And it's like, it's like, okay, like I didn't really see this for myself, but you never know where life will take you. Right. So it's like maybe maybe I end up getting into the straight up creator space and I'm able to able to give you guys some content. I think I actually do have my first video that I'm going to be dropping. So I already know what video it's going to be and stuff. So yeah. Beautiful. Well, man, you a man of many talents, you got a lot going on right now. Just recap this final team, put a bow on it. Some of these picks you made on your own volition that some of them were forced upon you. Aaron Rodgers, Tyler Shock and Jacobi Preset at quarterback, Jalen Warren, Nick Chubb, Rashad White, Joe to Coleman, James Conner and Kamani Vidal, Chris Alave, AJ Brown, DJ Moore, Dijon Stribbling, Jalen McMillan, Devon Bayley, Trey McBride, Kiddell and Kate Oton. If you go to battle for this squad, no, the running backs are terrible. My team looks like stacks and stone. I will say, you don't strike me as like a zero RB guy and this is a pretty extreme zero RB build here. Yeah, this is negative RB. I mean, we got like four guys that might not even play on the season like Jesus. Well, here, I just want to let you know, I paid for this one. These three dollars and any winnings, I will split with you, okay? Thank you. That means a lot. I appreciate it. I appreciate it. Um, the chat loved this and hopefully you saw when you were doing the commentary, the chat was going off. Yeah. They absolutely loved it. So you crushed it, man. I knew you would be a great randomizer guest and you absolutely delivered. Can't wait to watch you throughout the season on the flock league and, you know, keep letting them talk shit. Rome, you just get those Ws there in the fantasy football streets. Exactly, man. Exactly. You know, that's, that's what I'm looking to do, man. So I feel, feel great about my team, feel great about everything going in the air. I can't wait for week one, like, ah, man, it's, it's going to be great. It's going to be great. Yes. We will be rooting for you. We'll be following along. Anything else, you'd like people to check out. I will tag your YouTube channel in the description, anything else you want people to look out for? Um, I mean, really just look out for, you know, maybe in, maybe in more active in the YouTube space. Like, it's like one of those things where, you know, I kind of talked to Mason in Austin and he kind of encouraged me to go ahead and start doing the YouTube thing too. You know, it's like, there's no reason not to. So, um, so I guess look for a get ready to look for more videos. Mine might not be nearly as serious as, uh, most fantasy football content that you're going to be, uh, taking in like top 50 rake and some things that I probably won't be doing that. Like, I think my first video is probably going to be like the 10 worst picks in the flock league. I think that's going to be my first video. So, um, we'll see exactly how that one goes, but it's going to be fun to, to, to, to just have some fun with with the content creation. And I do plan on, I do plan on doing start sit slides like every someday, every Thursday before games. So if you have any start sit questions, by all means, uh, come to my channel and hit me up and I'll be there. Uh, I have a future video, YouTube video title for you. Okay. Okay. You're going to, you're going to make this around mid January. It says, how brand and Aubrey won me $100,000 dot, dot, dot and saved my marriage. Oh, yeah. Oh, yes. Oh, yes. Now, this is the thing. That's a pager. Could you imagine if I do win the flock league, what's the draft going to look like next year? Are people going to draft differently next year if they realize, oh, man, this Rome guy was on to something. Yeah. Cam little's going in the fifth round, uh, if, if that, if you win. For sure. Exactly. We'll see how early branded Aubrey goes next year. If he messes around and does that for me, all right, dude, uh, I'm going to do some drafts with YouTube members. I'm going to let you go, uh, absolute blast, uh, drafting with you and we'll catch you around the interwebs. Yes. There. Thank you for having me, man. It was an absolute blast. Seriously. All right, man. We will catch Rome later. What a fun, fun randomizer there. Let's, uh, let's get the giveaway or not give away the, um, the spin going here to see who's going to hop on. We can do a couple bash drafts today. Let's, uh, let's keep it simple. Um, actually, if I do Rome, a bunch of people have already written Rome in the chat. Um, let's, uh, let's do, uh, we've also said Aubrey. Let's do, uh, let's do, we'll do, we'll do Rome's, I don't know why I'm doing that. I'm adding a Z just to make sure it's, uh, it's unique from the other chat messages. #Rombs, if you want to join me on the bash, and I'm going to play the intro, do a little reset, little, little overlay reset here, but let's get ready for the bash with you guys hopping on stream to draft BBM teams with me. Welcome to the best ball bash. We are thrown apart. One of you guys in the chat will be hopping on stream to drag and we will split the $2 million prize. We are in the 2020 Honda Civic. I think we got a lot of them up. You're going to be able to get us. Jalen, no, the fall by staring them down in the eye right now. It's exactly what I'm trying to do. Fluck him up. That's my kind of guy. I am going to need a howl from you. Hopefully none of my neighbors mine. Oh. Woo. Yeah. Oh, this is going to be my life. This is so much fun. All right. Oh, what is going on here? Uh, I need to change my background. Let's try that. I thought I had the right one in here. I did not. There we go. We're back. 21 people here wanting to drafts. Let me change the, uh, the screen here as well. There we go. All right. 22 of you hashtag Roams in the chat. If you guys want to draft with me, I'm nearing the end of my best Paul Mania Maxing journey. I'm at 130, 20 more BBM drafts to go. This will be the third year in a row that I have max BBM on stream. We'll do another two here that'll lead me with 18 to do over the next what week and a half. We'll probably have a, we'll probably sneak in a marathon stream there at some point. To get the job done. But let's go ahead and spin here right off the rip. We've locked everybody in the chat. Apologies to ever get slow rolled here. No. No. No. No. No. No. I'm begging you. I'm begging you. I'm begging you why, Lord, why? He snapped DMs me too. The wheel has not even stopped spitting. Oh, my God. The worst part of this, honestly, the worst part is he led his YouTube membership laps. Oh, fuck me. I don't, you know what? I've been strongly against the accusations that the wheel is rigged. I, I now think the wheel is rigged and I'm not the one rigging it. Come on, Martin. Understand your bash, lore. I started out. Oh, my God, oh, God. Look who it is. I can't even hear you, which is actually how I prefer it. Okay, can you hear me now? Unfortunately, yes. Dude, how are we doing? How are we doing? This isn't toxic tower. I mean, I just want to know how, how do you let your YouTube membership laps then you You come in here and you're like, "Ah." I'll re-sub and then immediately win. What deal would the devil that you make? - Well, so I had the upgraded tier version of my membership and so I canceled that and I wanted to go back to the normal one and so that's how I let it lapse. - Okay. - All right, you know, that's a good justification here. Are you ready to draft a bestball maniac team with me? And let's not fuck this up. Can we draft a good one here? - Yeah, we'll draft a good one. I won't balance my exposures on Pete's time today. - No, let's do a joint heart of heart draft. Like let's get our guys no exposure balancing. Yeah, we can take a good value. We can draft a good team, good value. But let's just fucking draft a good team. - Let's do it. - What have you been up to? How's your summer been going? - It's been going great, doing a lot of work and I'll be a married man in about two weeks. So I'm prepping, getting ready for that. - Okay. What, where's the, are you doing a honeymoon right after as well? - Yeah, yeah. We're going to, we're going to the great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee for the honeymoon. That'll be fun. Got some guys. - Okay, you're gonna swing by David Kitchens place. Why are you over there? - I don't think David Kitchens would like me to stop by his place. I think that would probably be here. - Where, how long have you been dating your fiance? - We're coming up on about a year of dating and then being engaged to everything altogether. - All together. - So you've only known her for less than a year? - About a year, you know, yeah. - Wow, so you guys moved quick. - Yeah, we made it, we made it happen. - Wow, okay, and you're young, right? You're how old? - I'm 22, she's 18. - What? She's 18? You, what is going on? - You guys have known each other for less than a year? You're running off the list. - Well, I mean, hey, senior old. - She'll be 19 by the time we're married, but. - Okay, that's, that's a relief. That's a relief. Where did you meet her? - It's a church friend. - Okay, we got mutually. - All right, okay, I know how this works. Now, I went to a Nazarene university. There's literally a phrase there called ring by spring. The girls don't want to get married. Everybody has to wait until they're married to have sex and see you got to go, pop, pop, pop. So I get it, I just solved this equation. It seemed weird at first, but now I understand it. Do I have the right read on it? - Yeah, close nine. - There we go. Okay, yeah, crutches knows, ring by spring, baby. Okay, one eight here. We are looking at most likely CMC, Jonathan Taylor or CDLAM. CMC goes, who's the pick here? I think it's probably Taylor. I think I'm not a big fan of Taylor here, but I'm not really a big fan of any of the guys here at pick eight. I'm not a big fan. So yeah, if Taylor's good for you, let's do Taylor. - No, Taylor's good for me. I mean, I'm really flat in this range. I think I'm like, yeah, it's close between him and CD, but I don't mind grabbing JT. I think the one thing I've been noticing lately is I do like the value at running back more in the mid and late parts of the draft. So I'm not opposed to wide receiver heavy starts. What are your drafts looking like right now? - So I haven't drafted in quite a while. So to be honest, I couldn't tell you beat. - You've been out of the drafting streets? - Yeah, I haven't drafted for probably close to a month and a half, something like that. So. - What? Okay, so there's no exposure to even balance on my. - Whoa. - So I mean, I spent like, I spent like a grand this year, which is probably more than I probably should have, but yeah, I've got some decent exposures. - Well, I assume you had to save for a wedding and a honeymoon and you were like, oh, maybe I can't blast off on Bestball? - Yeah, maybe we need to take a chill pill for a second. I think Devon H-Anne here, if he falls, is gonna be just a smash here. I'm not super duper worried. I mean, they had a bottom, a really, really bad offense last year. I don't think it can get too much worse than that. So I'm happy taking H-Anne if he falls, yeah. - All right, let's get H-Anne. We'll start Jonathan Taylor H-Anne. Do I have any? Let's see here. What do I have? No, this is my first Jonathan Taylor H-Anne team brought to you by BB Chosen here. So you haven't been drafting. Are you still consuming fantasy football content and you're still thinking about fantasy football? - Yeah, for sure. I watch, I watch way more than I probably should each day, probably close to two to three hours of fantasy football content today, so. - Is it hard to watch a lot of fantasy football content and then not draft? - Yes, I so wanna like click the button, but I don't. And I think that's a good sign that I'm not addicted or anything like that, that I can consume it and be adjacent to it, but not necessarily given. So, we'll look at this. I mean, you just took whatever, however much you spent on the membership and then you rolled that into a $25 draft. - Yeah, I mean, you did it. - Well, I mean, it's like 12 and a half, right, you know. It's a half and a half, so. - There you go. All right, we're starting Jonathan Taylor H-Anne. We're here with my guy BB Chosen. Go A-Z-Cards, some people Martin wasn't familiar with the BB Chosen lore, probably doesn't know about the Tout Tout fish, all this stuff, but Go A-Z-Cards wants to know what's the biggest lesson you learn from so you think you can tell. - Well, I think what I learned is there are just a lot more interesting people than me. Like, I'm sure that I would be fine. Like, Chatten, you know, just around, you know, my normal friends and whatnot. But there are just some people like, man, these people are just more interesting than me. And so that was, that was, that was probably the main thing. - I'll push back on that in that. I think you're a very interesting person. I think you could say there's people who are more like dynamic on camera. There's people who are able to convey their interestingness in the camera better way, but you are a very interesting person. I will, you, so do not discredit yourself in that regard. - Well, I appreciate that, Pete. If anyone can get you to fall out of your chair and run around for a couple of seconds before the draft, I guess, that means some time. - It was literally like, you're the one person who became a YouTube member today. And the chat was already rigging on you when you did that. And then the fact that your name comes. It was just too perfect. All right, let's see what we're looking at here in the third round. We got a few of these wide receivers, Kyron Williams, wide receiver. As we see, Rossi Rice come off the board. It's Devonte Smith's, Zayflowers, Higgins, Eguca, talk me through what you like here. - Well, so I think Devonte Smith is probably a pretty clear tear break for me here. I think that he was very solid. I just have some worries about Zayflowers in particular, he goes. - He goes. I mean, I don't really want to go another RB. Yeah, but let's go, probably Kyron. Kyron here would probably be my pick. - All right, let's do Kyron here. Just slight ADP value. Yeah, Devonte would have been a smash. I'm also a little spooked on Zay. I mean, Dwayne did some really good research just about his kind of like touchdown expectation and how players in his cohort are unlikely to really see an uptick in their touchdown production just based on what we've seen through his career. So that did kind of pour a little cold water on him for me, but I still think in this range if you want the wide receiver, he's fine. But we're now going robust, brother. We got Jonathan Taylor, Devon H. Ann and Kyron Williams. - Yeah, I think it's time to start cranking some orange real soon, start pissing. - OG Man's fan wants to know if you had won so you think you can tell with the wedding still beyond that implication being that you would be drowning in so much pussy having won this contest that you wouldn't even be thinking about marriage. - Were you able to even get one woman to submit an application for so you think-- - Do you want me to boot you from the show right now? Do you want me to boot you from the show? - No, I was not. You want me to still be on. - Because men like you create such a toxic culture for women to be part of. - Men like me? - No, I'm not. (laughs) Go EZ cards wants to know your favorite beverage for your future wife. Oh, Jay or Apple juice, come on, Go EZ cards. All right, let's make a pick here. T Higgins is sliding in the fourth. Igbukas got that toe injury, but I have been trying to get a little bit more. Teta Roy McMillan, Luther Burton, if we want to slap it up, who do you want to go with here? - Probably Luther Bergen. I'm scared of Igbukas, like, like, like, substantially scared. - Also, Jeremy, his account has been hijacked by his son, Hampton, who has made an appearance on the bash before. What's up, Hampton? Nice to see you. - Hampton's a legend. - He is a legend. What other, you've been grinding a bunch of fantasy football content, any other drafting or 2026 epiphanies that have hit you, the skeleton key to 2026 drafts? - I really think, I really think Nico Collins is a fantastic big. I don't see him getting drafted this low ever again. That's probably one of them. - It's the nice day. - Did I have, I've been thinking about just recently. It's just so hard. It's such a weird, like, I feel like, probably everyone in the second round, you could make a case that they should be in the first round next year or they're probably gonna be going in the fourth round. And I don't feel, I don't know. So I just feel like the second round, particular this year is very interesting. It's very strong, but also, I think that there's a lot of ways things can go. Like George Pickens could go crazy this year or CDLAM could culture a lot of this stuff and he might not be worth it. It might be closer to T Higgins, you know. So I don't know. - Here's one for you. Who gets drafted higher next year? Malik neighbors or Nico Collins? - Probably neighbors. - Neighbors is just statistically, not statistically, but just probably better in every way than Nico. - Yeah. - So I'm pretty high on neighbors as well. - It sounds a little weird. - I'm hearing you. - I'm hearing you. - You want four second round picked. You wanna four, go your pick at 1/8 and you want underdog to give you four second round picks. - Yeah, if I could trade like Jonathan Taylor for Malik neighbors and I don't know, maybe get some futures or something that would be fine. - There you go. That's the, it's gonna be the new way to draft. They're gonna allow trade. Can you imagine the chaos if we would? - That would, yeah. I mean, there would be multiple Liam posts for sure. But I will say, having started three running backs, this past four or five turn has been awesome for us as far as Deandre Swift, Jacob's, Bucky Irving, Montgomery, Scout of O'Tooot and Price all go. So we have some nice wide receiver values falling to us here. We'll be able to get one of Terry McCorn or Jamo on this team. Jamo looks pretty nice to me here. Anything. - Yeah, I was gonna smash Jamo here. That's actually who I was thinking about. Ticking last, last pick. - Okay. - So easy game. So yeah, I love this start now. Jonathan Taylor, H&N, we go Kyron, come back with Burton, Jamo. I mean, if we were able to get Devonte Smith there, then I think I like this team a smidge more, but considering what was given to us, I think we're doing well. - Do we have two week 11 buys and two weeks six buys? - Oh no, are you turning into a buy week, bro? Before my eyes? - Oh, sorry. - No. - No, okay. That's just two weeks six buys. - Yeah, just two weeks six buys there with H&N and Jamo. But Burton and Jamo, man, that's about as sexy as it gets. That's what we're talking about at wide receiver if you're in rounds four and five. - Yeah, yeah, for sure. - All right, let's see what comes back around here if we're thinking about quarterback stuff, golf, obviously, and play Caleb at 89. Actually, you probably have to take him at 80, I should say. What's Caleb's price these days? 73, so we might not even get him at 80. I forgot how pricey that's getting. Do you, if Rome falls here, do you try to set up the double stack or do you just want to be all in on Burton? - Yeah, I feel like two out of the three can do really good. And so I'm pretty high on Colson, Loveland, and Burton. But I feel like that means that a Dune's Able probably get vultured a little bit. I don't have, yeah, I'm probably in Brian Thomas here like by far on a way. - Yeah, I'm light on him, but man, I've been listening to Sean Segal wax poetically about Brian Thomas on some recent pods with Gretchen. He still remains steadfast. That Brian Thomas is a smash in this range. So it's certainly got me rethinking a little bit talking about Brian Thomas. That was your guy in the town twist. - That was my guy. - Yeah. - And I felt like I did pretty good in that, but you didn't like it at all because I couldn't say my name, so that's fair enough. - Now, anyway, he was incredible, his rookie eater, just very, very good. And I feel like there were a lot of things that just didn't work out for him last year that are gonna work out from this year, mainly that he's going to be healthy. And so I also think we need to have someone like Parker Washington that's going to take probably, there's just a lot of talent on the Jacksonville Jaguars that should soak up defensive backs or whatnot to make it a little bit easier for Brian Thomas, I think it's well to be able to get open. They're not gonna be able to double team very easily any of the guys. So there's gonna be a lot of one on the one looks and whatnot that I think are gonna be very valuable for Brian Thomas to do this year. I wouldn't be surprised if he had multiple 60, 40 yard touchdowns this year, right? - Yeah, in the one thing I do like about Brian Thomas is I think his role is insulated. Like I think the Parker and Jacobi stuff could get like a little messy and even hunter working underneath. But Brian Thomas has that outside threat. There's really nobody who's gonna challenge him for that. I think the main question is King Trevor Lawrence get him the ball. Like it just was really weird how easily Mac Jones was able to feed this man down the field as a rookie and then Lawrence just was kind of incapable of doing it. So as long as there isn't like a legit structural deficiency with Lawrence getting him the ball in the same way Kyler like can't throw to Tramock Bride in the red zone, as long as something like that doesn't exist, I can envision a bounce back but I'm a little skeptical. - Yeah, it was interesting is something that Brett Coleman pointed out, I'm not sure how familiar you are with him. - Yeah, no Brett. - I think he's very very sharp. And it seemed like there was something in particular with Brian Thomas and Trevor Lawrence where Brian Thomas didn't necessarily, okay, we're on the board, I don't like that this year. - What's RB looking like? - RB were in the quorum Harvey dobbins range. You could pull up Lawrence if you want to do the stack, take McCuy Lemmoner down as quick. - Probably quite in Johnston. - Quite in Johnston. - Let's see if I got it in time. I didn't, sorry, I got it. - Trevor Lawrence is fine. - That's fine, that's fine. - It seemed like Brian Thomas didn't trust Lawrence very much last year. It seemed like he was shying away from getting hit and so he wasn't putting himself in positions to catch the ball as much as maybe he needed to. And so I wonder if that was just because he was more injured and so he's just a little bit more shy of getting hit. So I would really like to see him do the Julian Edelman and just not care and just catch the ball. That would be great for my fantasy teams, but probably not great for him, but we'll see. - Chad says, why does it sound like there's a rusty swing set in the background? That has to be your chair swiveling around, right? - That's my bad. We'll stop doing that. There you go. I thought my mic was like pretty set on, not. - It's too good. Your mic is so good that it picks up every possible noise you make. I just want to point out, we joke a lot about Isaiah likely's price being absurd. FFPC, we do those drafts, he goes so early. Isaiah likely just went at pick 85 in this BBM draft. What is going on with Isaiah likely? - Well, and Dallas Gotter, that's not B. That should, okay, we're about to pick at 89 here. Downs is here, Corm Harvey, LaPorta at tight end. I don't think anything with quarterback. What do you like? - What's the tight end looking like? - Have downs in the queue. - Yeah, I'll put downs in the queue. Tight end is LaPorta pits, Fanon. - We'll set up a stack with Mr. Dandy Dimes later on, double stack and call it a day. - Yeah, so I'm really, really happy with our wide receiver room through these rounds. I think we also got, I mean, I think Trevor Lawrence was a little bit of a reach, but that's, that's all good. I think we have a really, really solid starting lineup. - Yeah, I think, yeah, it might have worked out if we went QJ, so the guy behind us takes QJ, then grabs Herbert coming back at 88, which is nice. If we had taken QJ, maybe there's a chance, Herbert comes back to us potentially there. But yeah, I think Lawrence to BTJ, any of those stacks there, with the Jags, make a good amount of sense. - Yeah, I just think that this, the tier from Trevor Lawrence to like almost maybe Baker Mayfield of quarterback, is pretty fluid, like you've got your Brock Birdies, you've got your Kyler Murray's, like all those guys, I could make a case for being a top, top 10, top 12 quarterback this year. And so I'm not super worried about reaching for a quarterback, even if it completes a stack, like you still have so many different guys, you can go along with. - I think the thing I feel differently about is, I like Lawrence a lot. I think he's part of, you know, the, the DAC, the Herbert, the May tier for me, I just think with his weapons and his running ability, year two, and the Liam Cohen offense, I think he has like a really nice ceiling, in a way that a guy like Baker and some of the, I know he's the end of that tier you just described, but I'm high on Lawrence this year. - Yeah, yeah, so I think Lawrence is the best of them in that tier and I think has the highest case of being a top five, top six, quarterback. I just don't know like, seems the difference between top six, quarterback and a top 12 quarterback is not a whole lot in comparison to a top three, quarterback and a top six, quarterback, I think there's probably about the same amount of parity. - Yeah, yeah. And I think I generally agree with you too. I think the other thing though, we've seen just like, you can get shut out at quarterback from a stacking perspective and wanting to make sure you have some of that. Obviously we don't get Caleb with burden. We'll see if we'll be able to get how we want to play golf here. We're at 104, golf at 111. We're kind of in the fan-in worthy Pitman tier. At running back, you got Chuba sliding, Gainwell, Minungai, other wide receivers, Concepcion, Stribbling now goes in this range as well. Pitman, Pitman would probably be my guy. I'm scared of fan-in. I just don't know if I trust you's throwing him the ball. OK. All right, let's grab Pitman. As our wide receiver 5, that gets us another quarterback out as well. No tight ends yet. Are you interested in golf at 113 if he comes back? Maybe it depends on what running backs are available. There are two in my mind that I'm thinking I would be happy with if we could get them. But if not, then I would probably be off here, for sure. Blizzy said, oh, yeah, you're just pulled it out. I think it's probably a mecha egg buka. Either that or DJ more, probably. But I'm not very high on a mecha egg buka this year at all. Yeah. Are you drafting Godwin? Actually, I'm drafting Ted Hearst. But OK. I mean, I wish I had more Godwin, truly. I think Godwin and Hearst are the optimal way to play that as well. I have almost 50% Ted Hearst. OK, I like that. There's just a lot of outs for him getting there, including that contingent upside. All right, we do have-- so Chuba is falling like a rock. And even though on this team, it's not a necessity, that's an insane value, I think. Yeah. So I think the times where you can take Chuba is you can wait for him to healthy up. Because I think he's-- yeah, let's take Chuba. Let's take Chuba. I have almost none of that. I think Chuba is going to play week one. I mean, that's what they've been saying. He remains on track for week one. So I mean, we all like Jonathan Brooks, but Chuba Hubbard should not be going out one-thirteen. And it's not like-- OK, so if Jonathan Brooks, let's say, Shocker went down, because he's never been injured before, I think Chuba Hubbard is probably one of the strongest handcuffs there is out there. And we take people like Gainwell. We take people like Blake Korum in the same range. And so I'm not particularly worried, I guess, once we get a price like this, I think when Chuba Hubbard was going at, like, pick what was it, like, 75 or something, I think that was pretty gross. And I was out on him. I think I'd, like, 1% Chuba Hubbard. But I think here, was it pick 13? That's pretty valuable. Yeah. Gough does go, but that's fine. No, I think it makes-- Strip. Crazy high. I have, like, 35% of him at, like, pick 60, 160. What's crazy is this price is nothing compared to where he's going in Manage Leagues. Like, I was in Vegas last weekend doing the drafts. I've seen some of the boards. The recent boards made a bet. Like, he's a 6th and 7th round pick in Manage High Stakes Leagues. I actually think there's some, like, I'm the same as you. I packed a ton of bags, you know, at 150. So seeing him at 114, it's kind of like, eh? But I do think he's a good pick at this price. Like, he's better than the X-ray. He's better than the X-ray. That's for sure. Yeah, I mean, I understand you're on the line at Casey Concepcion. I know that's the line Jacob has drawn on ADP chasing. But I think he's very worthy of being a 10th round pick here. Yeah, yeah, for sure. I mean, I can see a lot of arguments for him. And I think he's going to be a smash, especially if these injury reports aren't great for Mike Evans. There's just nobody to throw him the ball. Nobody to throw the ball to other than him. Who is the other-- you referenced if there were a couple running backs here. Who is the other running back you were looking at? I assume he's gone. Kenneth Gainwell. I like Kenneth Gainwell a lot. I'm not a Bucky believer. The data on running backs are a good year one, and then not good year two is not particularly good. And Gainwell, I think, is just a undervalued running back as a whole. So I think it'll be pretty close to 50/50. All right, let's see what we're looking at with this next pick. I mean, Jacobi sliding for the double stack is pretty interesting. Chris Rodriguez too, if you want to play it through the running back. Rashad White here as well. We can always punt tight in, so I'm not too concerned about that. Yeah, I'm thinking probably about going forward tight end here as a build. Jacobi Myers goes. So I'm actually going to go Travis Keltz. You probably never mind scratch that. Yeah. All right, let's go. Travis Kelsey here at pick 128. Here's the squad through 11. We got Lawrence at quarterback, Jonathan Taylor, H.Anne Kyron, and Chuba at running back. Birdon, Jamel, Brian Thomas, Josh Downs, Michael Pittman at Wide Receiver, Kelsey at tight end. It's funny, I would say other than Pittman, you have the Slappy Wide Receivers in kind of the high T running back room there. Yeah, it's pretty polarized team. I feel like there aren't going to be many people that are in on these types of receivers and bets. And that's kind of on the same type of running backs as well. Speaking of Slappy, GoAZ cards wants to know what Slappy picks do you think are correct or wrong? Obviously, you think Luther Birdon and Jamel are correct. What are the wrong Slappy picks? I really like-- Sorry. I really like Keaton Missle quite a bit. And so I think that he'll be a pretty correct pick as a whole. And then one that Slappy's are in on that I'm not in particular. Are you in on Terrence Ferguson? Yeah, yeah, I've got some pretty sole Terrence Ferguson. What are the Slappy picked? Keaton's a big one. Bill, are you in on Bill? I don't have a whole lot of JCM, but I just don't-- I've got a big Rashad White believer either. So we got sniped on Daniel Jones, 11 picks ahead of ADP. We still have Roger's late Bryce Young with Chuba. I'm probably Malik Willis here. With HN? Yeah. Yeah, Malik Willis, for sure. I do think Chris Rodriguez is a very good value, especially on a Lawrence team. And yet, I think the QB2 is more important here. Yeah, I think that Malik Willis is a pretty strong tier break from the rest of the quarterbacks that we'll go from here on out. I'm happy tacking on later on Aaron Rodgers. But if we don't get Aaron Rodgers, then I'm happy just sticking it with two. And we'll just say that Trevor Lawrence is a top five quarterback this year. And Malik Willis is going to surprise a lot of people. So that would be fine with me. For the audio listeners, we are rolling with another hashtag to see who comes on after BB Chosen. Hashtag slappy in the chat. If you guys want to come and draft with me, I'll do another BBM draft here. Once we are done, I need to get my ticker updated here. Best small, Mania draft 131 with BB Chosen. You know what we should do in between one of these picks is look at because when we drafted a BBM team early on, right, that was, we have three. We have three. We have three teams. This is the third. This is number four. I've drafted four of my 150 Best Ball Mania teams with you. I'm pretty sure-- this might be number three, but I'm pretty sure it's number four. Oh my god. I remember. I remember pretty pure. This is my sixth time putting my name in. And this is, I think, my third or fourth time going in. Wow. Wow. All right, well, we can look at some of those teams. We have an entire portfolio to review, apparently. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, this is going to be good. I hope that you still put that throw-up emoji on one of them like you told me you would. I think I did, didn't I? We'll go look. We'll go look at it. All right. Collusion. Yes. Yeah, I'm just getting-- I have a $100 off of you. That's pretty good. You have made me more money than I've spent on you. Yeah, if there's one person who figured out a way to hack the wheel. OK, let's look at it here. Brenton Strange definitely makes sense with the stack-- This is good. Yeah, you got it. You got it. That's fine. Take this big speed to the line to finish out the running back room. OK. Yeah. Big speed solid here. I mean, we have been getting some pretty nasty snipes there. It's looking. I mean, I'm not super high on Brenton Strange anyway. I think that the tight ends are pretty solid here. I just don't think that I think that they needed to throw to Brenton Strange sometimes last year. And I don't think that's going to be the case. And Blizzy also mentions, you came up another week on the spin and we're banned. There was a time I literally had to keep you off. Yeah, you told me to f off, actually. That was just rude. Rick Doosle says, this is not the best use of run good. I don't know. Maybe it is. Maybe we-- I just imagine the things all be forced to do if we win BBM together. like I'll have to do. do a weekly show with you? Could you imagine if I was back into that? - I'm imagining right now, and I think it would be pretty awesome content. I'll just tell you that. Like every time you'd be like crawling to your chair, to the stream, I might be willing to just sacrifice a half a million and just be like underdog vacate the win. Like it's not worth, it's not worth what I'm gonna have to do. - Yeah, yeah, just, yeah. All of our teams got canceled. - Oh no. Christopher Davis says, already doing a weekly show with him. - Yeah, basically, buy weekly. - Okay, let's see here, sidekick, sidekick. Let's see what sidekick like. Sidekick likes Travis Hunter. The solver likes Travis Hunter. Hunter Henry is also here. Trey Harris is here. If we wanna swing back to wide receiver, what do we wanna do? - What are our tight ends available? - Dude, Hunter Henry, geez. It is now down to Hawkinson, Barner, Sadeek. - What's the wide receivers? - Travis Hunter, Jalen McMillan, Trey Harris. - Mostly Travis Hunter. - Not that I'm really a Travis Hunter guy. I think that might be one of those slappy picks that I'm not super in on this year. Just Travis Hunter. So, if you're a big BTJ guy, that's hard for you. - Yeah, I mean, I'm a big BTJ guy. And then I was a super big Parker Washington bowl as well. I have a more BJ than I have Parker Washington. I wish that I had more Parker Washington at this point probably. And so, I just don't think that the role is going to really ever need to be filled by Travis Hunter. I think that they got pretty, pretty lucky getting pretty solid guys all around. And so, I think that they'll probably just have Travis Hunter at cornerback the majority of the time. - Yeah, I think it's fine to be skeptical of Hunter. I still think he's a good pick here. And I think particularly on a Laurence team, we need to, we need to. - No, we messed up because Travis Hunter is going to have to tackle Jonathan Taylor. - What do we do it? He's on our team. - How do we be so foolish? - That's a deep cut right there. Jonathan Taylor having to tackle our wide receiver six. Sorry, vice versa. Yeah, that's going to be devastating. - Yeah, it's not good. We just draft a zero terrible. - Did you say, did you say before that you were four tied in, curious? - Definitely, 100%. - Okay. We have right now a two five six one. I am still interested in like young with Chuba or Rogers with Hunter. The question is 'cause I think at running back we're solid. Jonathan Taylor, H. Ankira and Chuba Bixby. - Oh yeah, for sure. - Wide receiver, Burton, Jamo, Brian Thomas, Josh Downes, Pittman, Hunter. I think ideally you're probably a three five seven three here, but you could probably play around with it if you get to four tight ends. - Yeah, I mean, I think tight ends going to be pretty weak. But I mean, Travis Kelsey was a top five tight end last year and he, that was like, okay, so I don't know. I don't like TJ Hawkinson here, so we can't make me pick him there. - Nobody in the chat, how am I first hearing about this? I had to go into the fantasy life Slack. John and Smith signed with the Packers. No one in the chat told me this. - John and you see this? - John and Smith with the Packers. I, normally the chat fills me in on those kind of things. Hang on, we're on the clock here. - Luke Musgrave, weird. - You want to do a book? - Air Rogers. - Yeah, let's do Rogers. - Actually, AJ Barner, I know Greg Dolchers. Greg Dolchers, Greg Dolchers. Run to the podium. Greg Dolchers. - Let's see if I can get him. I got him at the buzzer. - Let's go. - Run to the podium. - Oh, that was in on Miami, baby. - All right, you guys are off the hook. I thought it was while we were alive. Was nothing better so didn't say anything. Hey, I mean, the kind of news I get passed along to me in the chat. I mean, one time on basketball breakfast, people told me Luther Burton was smiling on the sideline. So the bar for information being passed along. Jeremiah loves carrying pizzas. You can tell me if Johnny Smith signed with the Packers. - Jeremy says that was a crawl to the podium pick there. - I'm pretty big on Greg Dolchers. I think he's gonna be awesome. - I mean, awesome. I think he's a good pick. I don't know if I would want it on record that I think Greg Dolchers is gonna be awesome. I would love to get Aaron Rodgers though coming back here. - Yeah, yeah. - We've been smithed everywhere. Like whoever's on the sides of us, they're ops. Can you read their names out and ban them from the chat or something? - I mean, Johnson. - I mean, Johnson, that's actually a good pick. It sounds like Kenneth Walker could be, I don't know, there might be something there. But yeah, Aaron Rodgers, let's go. - All right, we're drawing here. This is who is going to join me after BB Chosen. Who is it gonna be? Good luck, good luck, good luck to everybody in the chat. It's my guy Clay. - I don't know who that is, but let's go. Good stuff, Clay. - Wow, yeah, you've just really shown you're not in OG around here, not knowing Clay. - I'm sorry. - It's all right, you'll get to know him in a second. Clay, shoot me a message here. Here's the team we got going. Trevor Lawrence, Malik Willis, Aaron Rodgers. @quarterback, Jonathan Taylor, Devon H&N, Kyron Williams, Chuba Hubbard, Teng Bigsby, @runningback, Birdon, Jamal, Brian Thomas, Josh Nowns, Michael Pittman, Jr. Travis Hunter, Kelsey Dullsich. Are we earmarking Ted Hers for this team? Okay, I understand what your silence means. That's right, can't tip it off. We do need to find a third tight end for this. - There are a lot of guys that I like here. - Okay. - We have some, we have a couple Pittsburgh tight ends who would certainly make sense. - And apparently, John and Smith. - And apparently, John, you know, John and we don't have. - Yeah, go ahead. - I just, it's interesting that the Packers would sign John and Smith. I wonder if they're gonna try and go a little bit have your personnel this year, or if that's not great for my Tucker craft bags, like they're not, they're not particularly fond of the way that his injury situation is looking. - I was told it was a nothing burger. Don't go anywhere from the sighting. I'm with you, Chose, and I actually think there's probably a little bit of signal there about them trying to shore. - Well, how much do they sign John and for? - That I haven't seen yet. I don't know how much is a good pick there. That's a really good pick. - So, Dwayne tweeted, he said, "John and Smith are the Packers." Oh, it's Luke Musgrave on Pupp. So it makes sense. Green Bay likes 12 personnel. Highest risk of losing playing time is Jane Reed. Didn't play in 12 in last two years, and didn't in week one of the pre-season. Second, highest Tucker craft, early season workload management. So, slight, slight dings for reading craft, but it sounds like a Musgrave move. Ted Hurst goes, that person's an op. That's all good. Okay, we're on the clock. Do you want to grab a tight end? - I think Fat-Wiremuth is a great idea. - He's gone. - Oh, it's a pick. Oh, yeah. - Washington. - No. Let's, let's. - Quick, Jalen Noel. Zachurai Branch, Jeremy Bernard. You want Jeremy? - That's my bad. - We got Jalen Noel. We should have done Jeremy with Rodgers, but. - Sorry, I thought that. Where did Pat Fry, oh, I did what was needed, like I didn't think he was gonna go there. That's all good. Jalen Noel is probably not the pick that I would have gone there, but. - Hey, don't, beggars cannot be choosers here. I was trying to get Jeremy at the last second, but we didn't have enough time. We didn't have enough time. All right, we do need to get a third tight end. I don't think we can go to battle with Kelsey and Dolce's here. - Yeah, for sure. That's, I was gonna go a tight end. I was, yeah, probably a Runde Gadstin or K-Dot. And I don't know how much. How much would actually, it might actually have K-Dot. And I want to say if I drag the slider or the solver or the sidekick up here, the odds that it has Charlie Kohler at the top. - We could do a Charlie Kohler. - No, I just want to play a game. Do you think the sidekick prefers K-Dot and or Charlie Kohler here? It's going to be one of the two, I promise you. Charlie Kohler. Ooh, see, I knew it, I knew it. Yeah, K-Dot and just slightly ahead of Kohler there. But I knew it was one of those. - Well, so I, the reason why I was a little bit frozen, I was just shocked that you were gonna go a wide receiver there. I feel like basically all those wide receivers are exactly the same, but I think they're tight ends here. - We didn't have a consensus tight end to take. - Yeah, no, it's all good. That's just kind of why I was frozen. That's why everyone's giving me a hard time. - Well, that's why they call it, that's why they call you BB Frozen. - No, you're good, you're good. But which tight end do you want here? - Yeah, K-Dot, let's do try to Kohler. Just for the meme. - For the meme. All right, there you go. Charlie Kohler, comment. The only other one is Darnell Washington if you want to stack up Rodgers there. See that one more time? Okay, we have Charlie Kohler. I said, if you want Darnell Washington, that's a stack. No, I don't want John Irving, Washington. All right, here we go. Here's the team. Clay will be joining us here in a second. Clay, I just sent you the message on Twitter there with the link. Trevor Lawrence, Malik Willis, Aaron Rogers, Jonathan Taylor, Devon H. Ann, Kyron Williams, Chuba Hubbard, Tank Bigsby, Luther Burton, Jameson Williams, Brian Thomas, Josh Downs, Michael Pittman, Jr., Travis Hunter, Jalen Null, Travis Kelsey, Greg Dolson, Charlie Kohlar. Yeah, I mean, Tyden's pretty rough, but I think everything else is pretty solid. So I'm looking forward to it. I don't think Rick can do math or he knows what almost a year means, but that's all good. [LAUGHS] Let me see if I can find the vomit emoji one. I'm pretty sure I put the vomit emoji in. I'm almost positive I did. Man, look at how-- look at this summer drafting. Just scrolling. Scrolling 428, did I not put it in? I'll see. No, what do I have to say to her? It's chosen. Bash chosen, OK, on 528, we did a Caleb Stroudman, Dosa, Jacob Swift, Quorum, Kenny Gainwell, Jonathan Brooks. Jonathan Brooks at 123, brother. That's all right. I'm not super big fan of that. Dude, look, you maybe take Ted Hurst at 166 back then. There we go. Jamar Chase, Nico Burden, Brian Thomas Hurst, Mooney, and Tankdel, and then Fanon Gatsden, and Dalton Schultz. That's all right. And then on May 7th, this might have been the vomit team. Bonex, Aaron Rodgers, Michael Penix. On May 7th, we drafted Michael Penix. That actually is age nice. Michael Penix is great. I knew it. James Cook, Kyron Williams, Javante. Yes, this was when you were diversifying all the bad picks on my account. And Price at 61 Rodriguez at 133, Marks at 157. Some good RV closing line value there. But our wide receiver one is Rob. Metcalf Sutton, Pittman, Shakir Travis Hunter. You love Travis Hunter. And Pat Bryant, Brock Bauer's Gunner Helm. Not bad. And actually, it's not throw up emoji, but that is the throw up emoji one. There you go. Are those the only two? So is this number three? I'm pretty sure this is three. I searched chosen in my teams and I only saw two chosens. But you can correct me if I'm wrong. No, I think that that might actually be right. All right, brother. Good seeing you. It was fun. I started this stream with you outside of my chair and I finished it in my chair. And that's a testament to how interesting you are as a person on stream. Well, I appreciate it. I really do have a good one. All right. Good luck with the wedding and the honeymoon. Congratulations on behalf of all of us here at the bash enterprise. Thank you. What's up, Clay? Oh, you're muted. I can't hear you. Classic. I mean, I've literally took the dust off this microphone, get back on stream, and clearly I saw the dust not using the mute button appropriately. But what's up, man? How's it going? Nice, dude. How are you doing? You're your backdrop. I don't know if I've seen this one. It looks nice. It looks palatial. Thanks, man. Yeah, we've upgraded out of the apartment life in a house these days. So you know, yeah, a little-- weren't you living on a lake for a little while? I was. Yeah, outside of Charlotte. So still in the area, not on the lake anymore, unfortunately. But close enough by to take advantage of the water when we can. Nice. And what's new with you, just all golf stuff? Man, yeah, all golf, all YouTube. I'm just I'm living the YouTube world these days, man. So it's pretty fun, pretty cool. But yeah, lucky, bought a golf. Let people know, remind us what you're doing, the golf stuff, and the YouTube stuff you're working on. Yeah, so I helped start People's League, which is a competitive YouTube golf league. We're in our first full tour season, kind of second year of the business, second year of the league. But really the concept is there's, you know, if you're a fan of YouTube golf, a lot of great amazing top creators, we decided to build a sports league around it. So we have team owners, teams, Victor Cruz, it's team owner, our old friend, John Rolls, team owner. Creators like Luke Kwan, Martin Borgminer, their team owners as well. We're up to 10 teams now. We've done three events so far. We have our last one at Lake O'viles in Connecticut in October. We do 100K prize pool at each event, and having a lot of fun with the man. So different formats and different styles on YouTube. You can check out our Tahoe event now. We're just about to drop our semifinals matches coming up, probably on Monday. Beautiful. And how's your golf game? Are you do you get to play or are you just working on? Mostly just working. I mean, I've gotten the bug now from being around it so much, which is a lot of fun. So I'm playing a bunch so bad. I'm just trying to get to where I'm not embarrassing myself. I could have played a match with some of our creators or something. Awesome. All right, Clay, we got the 1-3 here. So we got to lock in. We got some people who are familiar with the Clay Lore. Skies not gray. We will not be drafting no gray. No, not on the menu, not on the menu. Who do you like at 1-3? Let's see. OK, well, I mean, man, I'm pretty open to whatever-- I'll take Chase. I was taking Pukka a lot more early in the summer. I'm open to JSN. I'll pull up JT if you want to. Kind of high on him. I would say Chase, JT, or JSN would be my top 3 here. Let's do Chase. I just did a JT team with Chosen. I know he had the little knee hyper extension. The other day, sounds like a non-issue. I think Chase is still the pick at 3. We ain't scared. Let's see here. Let me get this board pulled up. Have you been drafting at all? Have you been too busy with everything? This is the least I've drafted since COVID, since 2021, I guess. I really best fall days. So a lot lighter this year. I've been saving most of my BVM Bullets for Cardio Club, which I really only picked up in August. I've been drafting throughout the summer, but mostly smaller contests just like scratch the itch. But it's funny, man. I've poked my head in on X a few times this summer. Just kind of keep a pulse on things. And I think the one best fall-related tweet I fired off was Key Mitchell-related. And it was like if he is the Devon H&N of the Chargers. There's something like that, right? It got appropriately roasty, because I didn't realize it was the hottest conversation of the moment. I'd just been fucking sitting there thinking about it for a long-ass time. I didn't have to put in one foot out of the wall. Talking to it. Yeah, it was great. So excellent work on my part there. But I kind of realized I can't be one foot and one foot out of the best fall content game anymore. So we're taking a step back. I got some spicy takes, you ready, man. OK. I'll come correct. You've been workshop-- I mean, yeah, I assume the spicy takes are generally 19-th round players that will take in the 18th round. Is that generally how it goes? Yeah, I mean, look, on that note, I'll be interested. If you could guess my highest exposure player this year, it would fit that mold. But this player is now very trendy and certainly a lot higher. But back in May, June, it would have qualified. OK. All right. All right, we are in a BBM draft here. I see some friends and family in this draft. Deb, OK, I guess, Deb. And Schneider, I see in the 101. We started with Jamar Chase here. Let's see what we want to cook up at the back end of Round 2 here. Anyone catching your eye? Man, I haven't a hard time. I'm really at a practice. I don't know how hard time seeing the screen, the board, you-- I can talk to you. So you do have genty sliding right now. I do think he has a price here, back into Round 2. You get some unique combos. Drake London, Neighbors, Pickens, Alave, Rice. Oh, what we're looking at. I mean, I would probably say the genty combos intriguing or Neighbors is just always a smash, I think, here now. Oh, man. Let's-- if you're not afraid of genty, let's go genty. Yeah, I mean, you can look at my combos here. I mean, Jamar Chase, I do not have any with genty here. So I have Chase with basically every other Round 2 player, so I don't mind having a Chase genty team. Yeah, fair enough. I probably had, I feel like, back half the board slots this year. So I've been very comfortable drafting anywhere from like 7 through 12. This, the 3 through 5 spot, I'm still pretty uncomfortable with, just because a lot of my player targets some fond of or kind of out of the equation. So we'll see what's happening here. We've got still London. Pickens, Neighbors, London, Go. So we're now in that Rashi Rice, Devante Smith, Tramack Bride Territory, or this is kind of a gross range. I do like Devante a lot, and I do think Tramack Bride is just kind of mispriced. Let's do, let's do Bride. I'm fine with, I'm fine getting him. I don't love any of these other guys. I mean, Bride's I'm usually fine with, but I've been kind of chilling on him. Me too. I don't know. It's funny, mate. I definitely feel like, let's go ahead and give him McBride, who I also have been drafting a ton of this year as well. I was. Very heavy. I'll do a lot of Bowers early season. I'm pulling, leveling up a lot presently. And then, yeah, Titans are my favorite to draft. So I will get some of my favorite Titan picks later on. A couple of questions here from the chat. JT, any chance of an After Dark Bash? Yes, it is on my to-do list, an After Dark Bash. And it will certainly happen because I know I'm going to be slightly behind a pace to get in. all of my drafts. So I promise you I will have one of those sometime next week. I do have Sean Seagull book for After Dark tomorrow night. So we're going to have that. But yes, I have promised the people an evening bash. I know I've pushed it down the road, but it will happen. Also, let's see here. Crutches wants to know when's Clay pulling up to golf with old crutches. You guys can't be too far from each other, right? Let me know. Yeah, crutches. Let's let's get some. Let's get a match. They crunches like you're going to match all for now. So just be careful. I'll get lessons. I'm not I'm not playing you for money yet, but I'll get out there and have a good time. I'm going to get hang at least on the course. So I believe fantasy football garage wants to know thoughts on the good, good Callaway ad disaster. Will you film me in on this? I saw some references, but I'm not familiar. Yeah, I'll give you kind of a PC take because I'm not going to fully speak on it. Aside from his it was a terrible ad. It should have never it should have never been released. And I think the you know, the response is warranted and then it's now across the CASN of the internet where it's now got a whole lane of like bash back lash wave. It's really it's really turned into a really big thing. It's certainly serious. What was the ad? Like I was promoting that I was promoting a new driver. They claim that it was a spoof off this movie. I don't fully understand, but it basically depicted the main guy in good good shoving one of the new women girl creators in good good down to the ground over her touching his driver. And it was just obviously a joke and fun, but it was just it was very poor taste. It wasn't even funny to begin with. It was you know, it's just it's just bad just bad. And now it's crossed over where like Callaway just announced like 20 minutes ago they're dropping good good. Even though Callaway also approved this ad as I understand it. Just it's hot just so I head would roll it people would feel appeased. Yeah, it's it's a mess, man. So it's it's kind of only getting started. I think it's going to get a lot more legs to what it seems, but yeah, it's just horrible across the board. All right, we're about to pick at 410 here. Burton goes by ADP. You're looking at Loveland, Scatabo, Montgomery, McLaren, Tutton, JMo. You strike me as a JMo guy. Who do you like? Man, yeah. I need Waymo JMo because I'm light on JMo myself this year. So I'm certainly down with him. I don't I think double tapping tight ends a mistake. You know, I love Loveland, but I didn't like any players last time. I would do that to be fun. But let's go JMo for structural reasons. Is that like more tight ends later? Yeah, that's that's the only thing about it. It's not that I'm opposed to Loveland McBride. Like I think you can make that work. The problem is is there's going to be another tight end pick you really want to take in rounds like eight to 13. And then you're going to be like, probably not. Yeah, I always say, I feel like I'm matured a ton this year. And my drafting is opposed to like being more structured and reasonable with those kind of elements, right? And like I, you know, eat, take your medicine. I've been drafting a lot more running backs early. I know that's a better this year. I know that's what's comfy and stuff, but I think we've learned that that's like there's reason to do that, especially with how the pockets line up in the drafts. All right, let's see what we want to do here. We have Gentie. We have Chase Jamo, Tremick bride on the clock. ADP is McLaren Adams, Mike Evans, Bucky, Irving, Judkins, Parker, Washington. Who are we clicking here? Uh, let's see. Who just went, is that DJ more that just went? DJ more. I was going to, I was going to make a case for him, because I'm also light on him. I think it's like areas. I would go, uh, let's go, Bucky, Bucky. All right, good. I, I, I just put a running back in the queue because I'm like Gentie. If we miss him a little bit, it's probably a spot there. So um, if you wanted to go in like, Adam slides, Mike Evans slides on this injury, I guess it's like McLaren. Um, it's not I honestly like, I don't even love Adams as much this year, because I think the chances he runs back, uh, the touchdowns is, I don't know, it doesn't feel like the most likely outcome. So I'm like, how are you really getting buried by Adams unless he does exactly the last year, which I think is his stealing outcome in many respects, and I'm more bullish on other parts of that offense. So yeah, we get, we, we go chase Gentie, McBride, Jamel, Bucky Irving. And as Jeremy says, you can't take no agree with McBride and love oneself, you know, we got to get, what was the origin of your no, no agree love? It was just like, Kelsey was going to fall off. Yeah, I just, I really, I really thought Kelsey was toast three or four years ago. I was early on that. This is pretty t-swift dating days. And uh, yeah, I was proven wrong, ultimately. I don't think that thesis is wrong. He was bad. And then he kind of researched a little bit and no agree with pretty damn good for a couple years. But, you know, it's like kind of funny, right? It was like, there's a lot of comparisons like, Isaiah likely, I thought he could get more run and be more france relevant like that. Um, Isaiah likely's price is kind of hilarious, compared to similar situations this year. I just, I don't know, I just feel that there's a lot of like, non-logical thinking happening. And as somebody who's been guilty of that in previous past all summers and would like to think, um, maybe a little bit more season now, uh, it is interesting. I'm trying to think about how much of that is like learned versus just everything. We're all getting better. This is we put more collective hours on thought and brain power into this stuff too. So who is, uh, who is the coolest person you've, you've met or hung out with through the, uh, the golf experiences? Um, I mean, getting getting to know Victor Cruz, he well has been special and fun. Uh, he's, he's great people. So I've enjoyed that thoroughly. Um, close person. I don't know, man, I, I mean, it's gonna sound a little, uh, I don't, I don't, I mean, it's, I mean, to sound very positive. I've been very lucky to work with really cool people in my career and a lot of celebrities and, and athletes and influences creators. You still talk to John? Yeah. I mean, I hang out with jaw a lot, uh, which is fun too. So smoke some jays with jaw, have a good time, you know, talk about life and these good people. So, uh, and how many, what, we're coming up on like what, probably like a six year anniversary of John club top shot here. We, uh, we have carnal tape who's really dipped here. Burrow with chase is well. Uh, what do you want to do here? Uh, yeah, super. Let's lock it up. I like that. Get that quarterback here. Yeah. Dude, this is like not like a single, I think I'm maybe done like, I'm looking on light as you have done like 60, maybe 70 drafts total. I don't think I've dropped a single team like this with these players remotely, but that's good. That's fun. So you, you don't worry about it. We will, uh, we will, I will shepherd you through this. We have our stack now with burrow and chase. We got jammer. We got McBride. We got genty. We got Bucky. Um, as far as in this spot here, um, Jonathan Brooks at 75 is fine. Um, you could have a wide receiver of your preference. Metcf QJ Reed lemon, probably not pulling up craft here on a McBride team. Don't need anything at quarterback. Oh, so that'll just went. I would have been cool with him. I think he's got like high touchdown equity. And I'm just my, my TLDR premise for this year drafting is just touchdown hunting. Uh, Jaden Reed, let's lock him in. I like Packers, White receiver is a ton. And we could use a strong third here. So let's get Jaden Reed. Uh, yeah. I mean, in this spot, yeah, I think we could have entertained Brooks, but man, based on how much Chubas falling now too, it's kind of like, I kind of just like my Jonathan Brooks shares that I got, uh, a month or so back. I want to chill here. Spooked, man. You know, North Carolina guy. I'm spooked on the Panthers offense right now. Um, I was really high on T-Mac kind of early this summer. You know, I'm a, I'm a co-head. Uh, I was dipped in some Jimmy Horde junior because he's fucking fast as hell. And you can have some touchdowns, but I think it's pretty scary. There's a lot of bad injuries that were kind of unreported. I think nationally to start the season, especially O-line related. And, you know, I think Bryce sees all the help he can get. I heard they're moving. Can we reference this? Maybe it was a ETR pod and Silva had this nugget or somebody, but like they're moving T-Mac into the slot, which maybe can give him some help and some shorter targets to run with. But I was drafting some Brooks too, uh, mostly on the heels of my legendary upside subscription and rankings, uh, most of the summer. But, uh, I'm scared, man, to be honest. I'm kind of like pumping the brakes the last week and a half here on pretty much any panthers. Yeah, it sounded like you were, you were hoping Rico came back. That's your guy. Yeah. I mean, I just think he's, I just think he's a dog, man. He's like a touchdown guy. He is speed a crib. He's from a West North Carolina, which is pretty cool. You're open to West North Carolina. So that truly is crib. Um, I kind of think he's like a perfect guy for the Steelers. And, you know, I respect Warren, but I just think when it comes down to, they're going to be in goal to go situations. When I hand it off, it's going to be, it's going to Rico. And I, I think he's sneaky. I'm debating whether or not to go like the old, um, uh, Jamal Williams touchdown bet, you know, we can rush and touchdowns. Like I, I don't know. I think Rico could, oh, was that the silver call? That was a silicone, a couple of years, a couple of years back as a number two and destroyed at the time. And then I just think I think he has some some nice equity for a lot of touchdowns, man. If broaders ain't running them shits in, what are their other options down there? I mean, you got DK go, you go hard to ball with and for our booth, but I'm, I'm pretty high on Rico. All right. We have Jamar Chase, Gen T, Tremac Bride, Jamal Waymo, Bucky, Joe borough stacked up, and then Jaden Reed here. We're drafting with my guy Clay, my hundred and thirty second best ball mania draft only 18 more to go after this one. Back end of round eight here. Um, let's see, nothing we need to do with the quarterbacks yet at 94 tight end up La Porta. If you wanted to set up a double, uh, - Right, I'm good on that. We need running back to our receivers. We got to, we got to, I'm here. Okay, I'm thinking. - My wheel's in Mason, Chuba, Bill, Golden. - Bill, please. Would be great. - Yeah. - Yeah, thank you. I'm still a Bill believer. I mean, ironically, I just, we're able to get the panthers for bad offensive line news. I do think that's a factor of the Washington as well, but I just want to say, I'm kind of close to my eyes and, you know, moving forward. - The way you, you're leaning over to see the names and the way you said it and the way you said thank you and please, it was like you were at the fish market and you were like asking for a nice cut of swordfish and like, yeah, that one, 16 ounces. Yeah, thank you. - I mean, that is kind of my style. I get to the, you know, the butcher counter or the fish aisle. You know, you gotta, you gotta select it up, man. So, how are you looking to receive your wise here now? - Yeah, I mean, I-- - Just Mason and Chuba at the top, right? - I think Golden, Stribbling and KC Concepts, the own, are really nice picks here. I think you could certainly justify Mason or not Kenny Gainwell on a Bucky team. Golden does go. - That's unfortunate. I would have, I would have double stacked Golden. - I would genuinely think Stribbling's a good pick here, but it's early relative to-- - I don't care. I don't care. I've been kind of, I've been scribbling this summer, so let's scribble it up. Did you see Roams drawing on the randomizer of Dijon Stribbling? - So, I had a call, I got called during the streams. I had to go back and watch that. I missed it. I heard a reference of it, but I did not catch that. - Yeah, he, one of the prompts was he had to draw him. And, you know, we've done some drawing on the randomizer over the years. I think some people have impressed us. Cuderdoodle, I wanna say, once did a phenomenal drawing, but I always, just because I'm so awful at it, I just assume every drawing is gonna be bad and he crushed it. Great, great photo, artistic representation of Dijon Stribbling here. Yeah, if you guys are just tuning in, you missed the Rome randomizer, very fun time. He did some Rocket League commentary for us. And it blew my mind, Clay. This guy has done multiple professional esports commenting gigs without having ever even played some of these games, like literally crammed for Fortnite on a 20-hour flight to Saudi Arabia and then commented on Fortnite in a Big Arena or whatever. Like how safe is that? - Is that a shit we were betting on back there in COVID? Like, DFS, enough shit? - Yeah, League of Legends, Rocket League was another one of the main, like, DFS games, the bigger games were around League of Legends, but there was Rocket League as well. - Yeah, I didn't know what CSGO was, it still really don't, to this day, but like a lot of CSGO in that you want so. - Yes. - I think the player name's at one point. I could, like, rattle a fucking player name's in the. - Oh yeah. All right, we have a one, three, four, one here. Let's see. Yeah, what else are you up to this summer? You got anything going before the season kicks off? - Man, no, I've just been balls the wall with people's league stuff. Like, we did two events beginning at June. We were out in Tahoe filming one. That's a content that's growing out now on YouTube and then, in July, we were at French League in Indiana, 33 Birds Home Town. Incredible. I never been to Indiana in Southern Indiana. It was just gorgeous, very scenic. Pete Dye Chorus is one of the toughest ones in the US, so that was really fun. - Is that where they have that big, like, pro-AM tournament, or the in Tahoe? That one, is that a pretty big annual tournament? - Close to it is a different course and different part of Tahoe. Tahoe was so fucking big. I didn't even appreciate that. We were on the northwest side of Tahoe, and a lot of that happens for the south side of Tahoe, if I'm not mistaken. Are we on the call? - Love in the queue, just with Jaden Reed. - What's love's ADP right now? - 116, and we're picking at 118. - Okay, I mean, I love Dobs as well. And so it's like, I would certainly click Dobs or go, "Love just this." I mean, if we were gonna miss out on Love, then let's get Love now. If we can push Love, then let's do Dobs and then Love. - I think always when it's close, lock up the quarterback here, especially 'cause we don't have any other super viable stack. - I don't wanna be dumpster diving at the end either. I think it's, I've been trying to just be more comfortable taking quarterbacks early this year than I have in previous time. - In the drafter behind us, I guess he does already have two quarterbacks, but he had Matthew Golden, and you never know. - Yeah, you never know. Yeah, I'm certainly less willing this year to do late Brown quarterback. And I was getting pretty aggressive in some of those builds last year. But it gets, you start wondering if you're gonna have starters for like the cover weeks with the quarterbacks and it's like, "My God." That's a bad draft equity. But I have been doing a whole lot of this summer. I've been trying to like get outside and play golf when I'm off my laptop, but it's been, I've been working too much and complete honesty, as I know, if anyone else has. And I'm sure you do really good after your summer. - As Matthew knows, Matthew hits me up to play golf. I would love to. I played nine holes in the past two summers, and it kills me. It's nice I can count it for work. That is the real cheat code of life. That's the real cheat code of life. - That's the best way. - Baker, Jacobi, Debo, Coker, Sear, Debo. - Debo, Debo. - Oh, we have struggling with the fuck. - No, no, that's fine. It's fine. - Yeah, yeah, let's do Debo. I'm a Debo guy. - That's it, that's it. - Shout out to you from How's April doing? My Debo. - She's good, man. She's going to pre-school next week. It's getting real. - That's crazy, man. She starts kindergarten, I'm like, I'm like, "Shed a tear." That's going to, I'm feeling big. - Yeah. - Unclives. - Yeah, life, but that's, that's amazing. - Yeah, I'm going to, I'm going to shed a tear as well. Yeah, she's a, she's a big kid now. She, she's certainly not a baby. So yeah, I'm going to, I'm going to be a little teary-eyed next week as I, I dropped her off for those first orientations in, in half days. - Well, I'm it. - Look forward to the, the photos for sure. - Do you have, what, what are things looking like for you kind of rounding out your summer and into regular season? Like, are you feeling the, it's just, I mean, I know you're not going to really slow down at all. So like, how are you, are you approaching this turn in the corner this year? - Well, this, yeah, this next, whatever until the season starts is still going to be really busy. I'm, I'm trying to wrap up Bestball Bros script so I can get that to Zach because it's going to require some editing, trying to wrap up some underdog master class updates. We're putting that together, want to make sure people get that in advance of the start of the season. Like, drafts every other night, you know, we got crack rock tonight. And then, you know, I'm doing the guillotine league with Tony, which by the way, we are still accepting applications if people want to be in it. We have a bunch of fun people. Davis, kitchen, cooter, doodle, a bunch of people from so you think you can tout. And we're going to have, I think it's three spots available for YouTube members that we're giving away. We're going to have a $2,000 prize pool plus bounty. So for every week that I don't, basically, whatever week I get out, I'm adding $50 to the prize pool for all those remaining weeks. So if I get out in week one, that's 15 or 50 times 16 that I'm adding to the prize pool and same for Tony Squares. So if I get bounced early, it's going to get very expensive and we'll be doing a weekly show at the end of the portfolio review on Mondays. And we actually spun up a new channel for that as well. I'll drop the link in the show notes. So getting that guillotine stuff going, fantasy life, still five days a week, doing three shows a week with them. So yeah, I'm actually looking forward to the season because things will go out a bit then. - Is there buying for that legal? Is it you got to be just selected from being a member? - No, it's, there's no buying. I'm free rolling everybody in that league. So yeah, um, there'll be-- - I'll just toss my name in the ring. That'll be fun. - Yeah, I need to do a tweet on it. Squares made a video that I retweeted, but I need to do a form. I'm going to write about it in the PO Box newsletter tomorrow. So I'll make the instructions really clear. The draft is going to be a week from tomorrow. And we're going to stream it on the channel. But yeah, I can, I'll get you guys the details for sure. Masterclass drop date, I don't have it for you, but hopefully next week sometime. All right, we are on the clock here. Denzel Boston, Tyler Algera is a decent running back pick at this price. - Yeah, I like Algera a lot. - Okay, yeah, let's go. - I think he's like, he's an unsexy click, but a great pick, man, like. - Yeah, go easy cards. There's going to be an update. We're going to have basically a new chapter on the 2025 data, like the new data that came in last year that we obviously didn't have access to. And then we'll do a round table or two. So an actual course and a round table or two. - Are we at four running backs now, Peter? - We are, four running backs. So you're looking at Bigsby Spears here. Probably good at quarterback. We're on the clock. Tightened jig as a faller here. - Good luck to your seabird. - Yeah, Boston, Naylor, Tucker, Jacobi Lane is fun. - Yeah, go Jacobi Lane, let's pull him up. I don't even care. - I think he's a good pick here, man. - I'm still low key, a test walker guy, 'cause I think he's very talented. - You gotta be covered, Jacobi Lane. - I'll be covered, Jacobi Lane. - I'm a whole lot of test walker. That's why UNC guy this year, as my fandom, you know, homerism there. I'm not going to push against Jacobi Lane, though. And I've been drafting him up the board, 'cause I'm not going to go without. When he was instilling the 18th round, I was taking test walker just because I wanted to have that differentiality, and I do think test walker is very talented. I mean, people think Josh Challenge is a good man. Like, test walker. Walker was better than Josh Downs and a better prospect coming out than Josh Downs. So I do think there is a meat on the bone, whether that ever comes to fruition, because it's so situational in pro sports, like we'll see, but I'm holding the line. >> Yeah, I get it. I get keeping a light on for your guy, but I just think based on what we've seen how the team has played it, drafting Sarat and Lane still feeling committed to Bateman. >> Yeah, it should be something. Do you think there's some very committed Bateman? He's a vet, but I don't know. I didn't pay him a lot. >> Yes. Yeah. I'm just going to drop this link in the chat because people are asking about the video. And like I said, I need to do a proper tweet, but I'm going to put this here in the chat if you guys want the info. All right, Clay, let's get our footing on this team here 2461. We have Burrow in Love, both stacked up. We have Gentie Bucky, Bill in Algier, Jamar Chase, Jamo, Reed, Dijon Stribling, Dibo, Jacobi Lane, Trey McBride. I think running back in Titan is definitely the focus now. >> Yeah. All right, let's see, Titan. >> Yeah, Titan. >> I see. I came in duty more, dude. Okay, so my guy that I was going to say, and I came in, you know, since I sound like stolen Valor now. But I, Terrence Ferguson, my highest job to player. He's been my high job to player since my first draft of the year. I left last season with two big notes, AJ Barner and Terrence Ferguson. So if AJ Barner's still in the board, I would love to snack him. >> I was going to say, one of those guys is still available these days at 166, and it is not Terrence Ferguson. >> We'll see if I, if I, you know, pull the screen right there. >> Oh, with the Darnell Draftor right behind us. Yeah, there you go. >> Yeah, we'll see. We'll see him now. >> Yeah, we'll see here. I think, dude, I think Terrence Ferguson is a smash of all smashes this year. I'm more than wheels up on him, and I will hold hands with Davis and anyone else on this take to the moon. >> I think you want to score a multi-atom, yeah, Barner, please. I think he's now scored Davante Adams. >> Okay, now we're getting there with the hot takes. Davante's walk over Josh Downs. >> No, no, I'm not saying that. I'm not putting Ted's walk over Josh Downs. I just said he was, you know, a highly thought of prospect coming out of school. Terrence Ferguson over Davante Adams, though, I will post, I will put my name on that as a take that could age poorly or really well in a few. >> Yes, two, four, six, two here. >> I'm at 58% though, 52 and a half percent of Ferguson. Dylan Samson goes, a lot of these running backs are pretty similar at this point. You could do a sedic, a dulcich, a sedic. >> How about, yeah, I could get out with sedic. >> Yeah, I see he's fine. >> Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's good. >> I mean, I don't know if we needed a third tight end, but I was just kind of >> No, I like three, I like three was fine. Especially like the thesis with Barner is that, look, I don't think people recognize like how much Seattle ran the Tush Push last year in a general, big Tush Push team. The guy they handed to is AJ Barner, and I think he has some really nice touchdown equity on Tush Push alone that I think he should be going much higher than, or I'm even much higher, I'm fine dropping where he's at, I think he should be thought of better relative to other tight ends. It's like, yes, in this way to articulate that. So I'm pretty bullish on AJ Barner as a Tush Push merchant, and then, yeah, Terrence Ferguson might say, just be the number one scoring receiving option on the Rams. >> I was the one thing that, I was kind of excited about AJ Barner beginning the offseason, the one thing that kind of creeped in my head, and this was a lot from doing shows with Levitan, is he kept mentioning like, I think Arroyo's going to have a little bit bigger of a role this year. But that could go either way and he doesn't, or Arroyo doesn't scare him? >> Yeah, what doesn't scare me from the context of, like again, I'm based in the thesis of the play on a lot being from Tush Pushes, and I don't think Arroyo has any impact on that, and then it's how much can Barner keep slash earn outside of that, if he's blocking in Tush Push and catches some passes great, but he seems pretty fine pass catcher, man, like Darron seemed to like him. It's like, okay, which teams are going to lean more into the two tight end sets? Which teams are going to try to go play 40 chess and say, all right, now defenses are going to start trying to play against two tight end sets, how am I going to open this up and maybe not do two tight end sets? Or like, I think like, you know, my guy Matt Collins on the Patriots, they're talking about moving him to tight end, which I think just like, we got to stop thing about positions. So, you know, they're more dynamic than they have been ever before. Like, tied in a Y receiver, the difference is meaningless, besides from a jersey number, which is also meaningless these days in a roster designation slot. So, I don't know, I mean, like fair with Arroyo, but it doesn't really change much from me aside from the ceiling outcome, but I don't think I'm drafting AJ Barnard for like the same ceiling that I am at Terrence Ferguson or other tight ends. He's a, he's never the first or most likely the second option on my, you know, tight end death chart. Yep. All right, let's see how we are going to land the plane here. 2463. We're, I'm going to get rid of tight ends. We are, we're good there. We're good there. If you did want a third quarterback, there's Mendoza kicking around. We got a few wide receivers, but running back really is kind of, no, I kind of want to just smash some like a lot of tickets on running back slash sure up, you know, if genty is hurt, that's kind of what I'm thinking here. So, I'm going to put a few names in the queue. The Sean Tucker news is really interesting to me. Ray Davis, I think, is the best pick here, for sure. Yes, I like Kaelin Black, but he just went dab. How many running backs are you up to over here, brother? Oh, he's got the seven. The zero RB build with seven dolphins mason Rashad White, Mike Washington Lloyd sharps in Kaelin Black. All right, like seven zeros to me. That's tough. Yeah, Naji Vidal Singleton in you. Naji is so gross. Dude, it's diabolical. I have Vidal. I don't, who else is that? I mean, Singleton, I guess would be the pick out of these three Gibronis, but man, it's so bad. Like, I would rather do fucking, I mean, the youthful balance on the board is gone. They're all gone, Brian. I mean, I f*** me, dude. Yeah, this is why people get their running backs early. Yeah, no kidding. That is the optimal strategy. Yeah, let's go, um, let's go singleton. All right, get singleton here. As our RB six, two, six, six, three, we have one more pick left. I would argue that we are pretty balanced everywhere. Um, so can kind of do whatever you want with that, with that last bit. One touch down hunting is what we're kind of trying to do here, I think. This is where clay, this is where you get the signature move, the, the special sauce. The clay, this is where you, you make, I guess you've already said you're going to make me draft a Vantes Walker. No, I don't want to want this team. I don't think, um, but if you can't go back, let's look at some player names because I do need to gather my position for a second. Let's go wide receiver. I think, I think wide receiver is probably the pick for this last one. And let me, let me put some names in the queue so that I think are interesting branch. No, well, I mean, we always have Ridley and Jeremy in the conversation. Um, let's look at any correlation here. Go back, go back to Titan just for a second, just because again, like on the premise of like touchdown hunting, like I don't really care if this, if we're just trying to fill a flex on some, some flaky bullshit, like we could, we could fill a flex with a Titan touchdown. Um, yeah, I mean, I think, I think four with Tremick brides probably probably. Yeah, what about, if they're, I will say Houston, so plays Green Bay, let's not forget the Wisconsin dels. And I do, I'm, I'm getting very bearish on tank Del, like I, I do, and I do think Noel, um, outside of Nico has the most juice to get like an actual breakout. So him is a week 17 bring back. I think makes sense. Yep. Let's run it. No, it's great, great pick. No, no, well, shall it sack? I know, take us back to next year, although we'll see if he lasts here. I don't know how Tesla I got in the queue. I did not click that on my own. Yeah, please note, no, no test laws. We do have a, the, the Jacobi lane bring back on the burrow chase stack is pretty hot. It's gums. This team is like sneaky, not bad. Like, uh, I like how you're surprised. I'm not surprised. I had faith I was going to get here, just uncomfortable. It was a very uncomfortable journey. I get it. I get it. Um, you know, I, I, I hate for my guests to feel like they go on an uncomfortable journey on the, uh, I kind of like it, though, man, I need to be pushed out of my comfort zone, you know, from time to time. So I'm here for it. You know, I got my comfy clicks, my, my massive exposure blankets already. So it's good. Who's your, who's your most drafted? Like across the board. I mean, like, my top three much out of players are Terrence Ferguson and Harold Fanon. Just bullish. And then I got a lot of Travis Hunter. Because again, I just think touchdowns like what he's in the game on offense. They're putting them in the score of fucking touchdown or a big play. Like, that's good for best ball. I'm not trying to draft them and manage, but I like that in best ball. Um, we got a lot of key Mitchell, a lot of Debo, a lot of Romeo dubs. So what, talk to me about dobs. How are you so high on him? I mean, I, I like him, but normally I don't hear people like pounding the table for him. I'm, yeah, I wouldn't say I'm pounding the table. I had a lot of him pre AJ Brown trade because I was fine with it then and I'm fine with it now. And if anything, I actually kind of maybe it's even better with AJ Brown because he can just do, he just, he's a deep field threat and Drake making throw the shit out of the ball. And it's just like, okay, cool, ADR touchdown. Like that's just kind of fun. So go go give AJ Brown 15 catches a game and dogs can have a hundred yards. - All right, dude, we lost Noel, the Q got wiped. I put Taikwan Thornton if you really want to get spicy, people tell me Malik Benson is a thing. - I know the fuck Malik Benson is. So, yeah, Thornton's fine. Or could you, could you do Vidal quickly at the end there? - He's gone. - Yeah, okay. Fuck. - No, he wasn't gone my bad, my bad, my bad. - Very good, that was all good. Sorry, yeah, we're good. - I still think Taikwan Thornton's a very good pick. I think he's just gonna play a decent amount and then if worthy gets banged up, I mean, he's gonna see a pretty good boost. I think he's gonna be a pretty reliable. I know we're all excited about Cyrus, but I think he's gonna be, like, I think Cyrus Allen might end up being kind of like, Jaden Higgins behind Nico, where it's just like they view him as kind of like a Rossi rice handcuffed. And I could see them just rolling out Taikwan, Rossi, and Xavier Worthy. And I just think Thornton's like a boring but good pick. - I'm finally, I've dropped to like zero Thornton. I've dropped to zero Cyrus. So I really, I've been chillin' the chiefs. I have some of Holmes. I have Bryce early in the summer pre a lot of the stuff. Yeah, I don't know, I mean, I've been, I think of this year, the way I've kind of approached things is like I haven't been trying to inherently consolidate on players, even though I have. I've been more so been very comfortable fading players. And I've just been straight up like avoiding players who I'm like, they, I don't know, just, that's been more of my take this year. I've been with smaller number of drafts too. I'm trying to try to have like higher conviction and fates more than anything else. - I like it. Who is your biggest like zero percent guy in the first couple of rounds? - It's a great question. I have very little, I have very little Jeremiah Love. - Alka? - I have like one share total of Jeremiah Love. - So we went from this stream started with the world's biggest Jeremiah Love fan, Rome. And now it ends with the biggest Jeremiah Love fan. - Yeah. - Oh man. So yeah, I don't know. Like I said, I have to look at the, I'm not looking at the board. I can't think of off the top of my head as much, but it's just a lot of fates. There's a lot of players that have a zero of in that range. I don't have a lot of my pride, but I like my pride. - Clay, one of the nicest, most positive people I know of miting, he's gone full hater in 2026 fantasy football. - This year, man. - Well, Clay, it is named, it is tossed on the BBM pile. Always good catchin' up with you, man. Glad to hear you are, you're doing good these days. - Yeah, pleasure, man. Great to catch up, great to be on. Miss you, Miss Hanging, so a lot of fun. Go check out the people's league. What is the best spot YouTube to find that? - Yeah, go to YouTube, type of people's league golf, and we got a ton of constant on there. I mean, a lot of great episodes, and we'd love to hear anyone's thoughts. I saw something we'd post about X. We haven't been doing a lot of X, just because it's not been the best place for it. Although I have thought a lot about the kind of community that I run in on X, there might be some overlap there. So I might post some more from my account or try to do some more from the channel, but yeah, go to YouTube, check it out long form, and let me know what you think. - Beautiful, thanks everybody. Hangin' out, shout out, Rome, shout out BB Chosen. Thank you to the randomizer producers, Lou and Matthew. Like I said, as far as my schedule, tonight, seven PM Eastern crack rock draft over on the Ship Chasing channel, always must see TV, annual tradition, excited to see how that plays out. And then tomorrow, Sean Seagull, after dark, he has been, he's been hard to pin down this year. He's working on a novel. He has been mysterious and under the radar, so I was excited to coax him out for a show tomorrow night, anyone who is a value hound YouTube member will have access to that show. And then next week, probably we'll be spinning up even a couple extra streams just to get in everything. Yeah, lots to come here in the next week and a half or so before the season starts. Appreciate all of you guys, and we will see you next time on the randomizer/bash.
