New Year Greetings & Family Traditions
00:00:31
Speaker
Welcome, welcome, welcome everyone. Joining you 20 hours and 36 minutes from Fargo, North Dakota by car. It's me, Andy Ramsey, born and raised in Texas.
00:00:46
Speaker
And next up, joining us 1,366 miles from San Antonio by car, it's Jeff Magan. He knows all the numbers from Japan. What up, Jeff? Hey, how much, Andy? How you doing? I'm all right.
00:01:04
Speaker
ah
00:01:07
Speaker
Happy new year. Did you make any, see you next year jokes with your family? Couple. ago Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We actually, uh, went out of our way to hit up all our neighbors, uh, you know, and like wish them a good, good end of the year and everything. And, uh, made sure to tell them all that we'd see them next year. Get some every time. Yeah.
00:01:34
Speaker
Well, I didn't say it to anybody, so I missed out for sure. Um, but I was wondering if there would actually be a next year. So time will tell.
00:01:45
Speaker
ah We had that existential question brought to us by the four year old, uh, on New Year's Eve. He, he was like, he was like, uh, what if it all ends and 2024 is it? And we're like, what, where did this come from? He was like going to bed and he's like, mom, what if there is no 2025?
Fantasy League Highlights & Future Curiosity
00:02:06
Speaker
Wow. And she was like, what do you mean? And he's like, what if, what if as a great kid,
00:02:15
Speaker
Yeah. She sidestepped that one. Yeah. Yep. Um, did she say you're still going to have to brush your teeth and get ready for bed at a time? Uh, no, I think it was more like, you should, you should ask your dad about that. He's going to read you a book now.
00:02:36
Speaker
I walked in and I was like, what's going on? She's like, Andres is wondering what happens if 2025 doesn't happen. I was like, what? What are we doing here? and and And he was like, then, then, you know, he was making up words. Well, can you, yeah did you write any words down that he made up? Uh, no, yeah, no, I did not. All right. Sorry. It's okay.
00:03:04
Speaker
Last week, Jeff, you had John Ward on the show. Yeah. um no one No one has asked since what John's second litmus test TV show was. And that's how it should be. Right. One answer. I'm proud of you. Yeah. um You know, one song, one song only. Right. But thank you, John Ward, for being on the show. Yes.
00:03:31
Speaker
He scored pretty good, I think. Yeah. Yeah. ah Four or five points, right? Yeah. More points than I thought he would get, you know, not knowing the questions. Right. Right. Surprising. Yeah.
Blade Runner Viewing Advice
00:03:44
Speaker
but One question that did arise from last week's show, uh, what's the right way to watch the original Blade Runner? You said that I would know and you, my friend, are.
00:03:56
Speaker
ah ah Correct. Correct. And that I know the answer to this question. Yeah. The correct answer is the final cut. Yes. The third version released of Blade Runner. Okay. Of the final cut is the <unk> definitive to watch. That's right. Um,
00:04:25
Speaker
It doesn't appear that any of them are currently available ah included in a streaming subscription. Nice. So you'd have to go rent it or through some other means. You could probably get a eBay DVD for less than $4. It's just a guess. um But it is a beautiful film. And if you can find the final cut in high resolution, it's not as beautiful as the sequel, of course.
00:04:55
Speaker
but um still worth a watch. I ah would like to say, ah or ask you, are you guys prime subscribers?
Amazon Prime's Hidden Digital Credits
00:05:06
Speaker
Prime? Yeah. Oh yeah. It's hard to avoid, right? Yep. Especially living where we live.
00:05:12
Speaker
Right. But have you ever noticed that if you delay shipping, you get digital credits? Yes. Yes. I have a bunch of digital credits that I need. Do you know where to find them? I have to always Google it. Yes, me too. Because I'm never sure. I don't think they want you to know. that They provide it.
00:05:32
Speaker
Yeah. as On the front end, but then they don't make it easy. They expire too, don't they? Like you only have like so much time to use them. Yeah. Cause I've, I've purchased and rented different things on the digital store because I had to use up $5 or whatever in credits. Cause it's usually not a ton, right? Like you get like one or $2. Yeah. If you're willing to wait for your. Yeah.
00:05:59
Speaker
whatever Yeah, but it's it's also, it's like, do you want this on Friday or do you want it on Saturday for a dollar? And I'm always like, Saturday for a dollar, you know? Yeah. But it's probably like um like gift cards in that so much of their profit is from people not using it. Yeah. So, ah yes, always have to Google it. um Keep in mind, everyone, public service announcement, those expire. Right. Yeah. And what is it? Is it like 90 days, 60 days? I can't remember. i They send you an email. I know, I know that they send you an email to be like, your credits are expiring. But you know, if you get, if you have Amazon prime, you get emails from them all the time about all kinds of, you know, right Oh, your favorite author has a new release. It's like, what? I have a favorite author on Amazon.
00:06:51
Speaker
Yeah. Don't tell me who my favorite author is. Yeah. If you, if you use Goodreads, I believe Amazon purchased that. And so they feed you, you know, anything that you liked on Goodreads and email. Well, that's good to know. Yeah.
Fantasy Football Keeper Rules Update
00:07:09
Speaker
There was a question from the discord about keepers next year. yeah It's currently left, left open. I think you asked the last question of the group and it's gone.
00:07:21
Speaker
Um, and unanswered unanswered. I do appreciate those who weighed in. Uh, even though it doesn't matter what you think, what you want or what you said, we do like to have the opinions, the opinions, the back and forth. Uh, my official stance is that, um, if someone's willing to give up a spot to draft picks higher than they
00:07:50
Speaker
originally drafted somebody and they're willing to hold on to them the whole season with this abbreviated bench, right then more power to them. And after this upcoming draft, we're going to try it two keepers. So going into 2025, it'll still be one keeper, but then with that 2025 draft,
00:08:13
Speaker
If you hold that player two players for the whole entirety of the 2025 season, you could potentially keep up to two players. That is correct. Correct.
Nick Thunker & Humorous TaskRabbit Suggestion
00:08:25
Speaker
Okay. Correct. Correct. Correct. Okay guys, you heard it here first. Uh, any, any caller questions that we need to address? Um, we did get, we did get a one, one call. I can play it real quick.
00:08:44
Speaker
Yeah. So sitting here grilling a couple of burgers for lunch and I was just wondering to myself, like, there's gotta be a way that I can be, we, the group, whatever, be nice to find a way to just figure out what's on Nick Thunker's mind once in a while. Um, sure. Not really sure if that's feasible. You know, he doesn't,
00:09:13
Speaker
seem to like to participate with the rest of the group, but would be nice to kind of get his opinion and see what he's thinking once in a while. and So I don't know, just throwing that out there. That's a great idea. Matt, thanks for the call. ah Jeff, I can't think of any way to know what's on next knocker's mind. Can you?
00:09:35
Speaker
um So, Matt, ah on Discord, there is a channel on Discord, and it's called Thunk Only. What? Yeah, so on on December 23rd, Thunker posted, in case you were wondering, I'm aware that I lost. I think we've we've already brought that up, that he knew that, right? But on the 28th, he said,
00:09:57
Speaker
Injuries all over the place. I am resigned to the 17 game season. May as well go to 18 with two preseason games, but teams should have two, if not three by weeks and five or 10 players to every team roster practice squad. So people can rest longer when hurt. Also, let's get rid of Thursday night football.
00:10:22
Speaker
And then on the 29th, he said, happy with my last minute pickup and start of JK Dobbins. Less happy with my last minute benching of T Higgins. Was worried about his injury and figured I better go with safe low ceiling points since I had the comfortable projected lead. Fingers crossed it works out.
00:10:46
Speaker
Thank you, Jeff. So yeah, so Matt, you just have to go to that channel and periodically you will get an update on what Nick Thunkers thinking. Jeff, can people set notification for that channel to the highest of priority? I'm talking sound effects, vibration.
00:11:07
Speaker
um No, they can. And you can also, you can hire, ah what do they call it? The Amazon thing where you can hire someone to like send, to TaskRabbit. You can hire a TaskRabbit to call you and read them to you.
00:11:22
Speaker
That sounds like a great great way to for Matt to spend his winnings, wouldn't you say? Yeah. Yeah. But you can click on notification settings when you're in that that feed and you can you can have it do anything you want. Wow. Thanks, Jeff. Yeah. Always good to get a funk-only update now that we all know. Where? Was there. Yeah. Moving right along. Right on. fairly Quick. Quick, lickety
Vikings vs Packers Game Recap
00:11:51
Speaker
-split.
00:11:51
Speaker
in the older minute. Are you ready, Andy? Um, should I run show on the timer this weekend? Because we're doing the recording a little bit differently. And I just realized that that might be hard for you to do a stopwatch while, you know, che yeah I got it ready. by I'm waiting for that horn. Oh, sorry. It's okay.
00:12:20
Speaker
And timer start now in week four of this week, the Vikings were up 28 seven after three quarters. Okay. Against the Packers. We're talking against the Packers. Thank you. ye And this, this, like this week they were playing the Packers again.
00:12:37
Speaker
Yes. And three quarters in, they were up 27 10 after three quarters. So 28 seven and 27 10. Very similar scores, yeah right? Yep. Yep. And both games, Jeff, were decided by two points, two points. So is this the Vikings taking their foot off the gas or not learning their lesson from before? What's going on?
00:13:03
Speaker
Um, it could be, could be a Packers adjustments too, but, uh, all that matters, Andy, two points. That's all that matters. Two points.
00:13:16
Speaker
Yeah, after week four, I thought the Vikes were going to lose. Looking at the calendar, I thought they're definitely going to lose. Week 15, because week four was Love's first game back after an injury, right? It seemed like it took him three quarters to find his rhythm, and then they were really clicking. This game just made it seem like the Packers surged down the stretch. I haven't watched a lot of Packers looked at their quarterly scores. Maybe their adjustments are just too little too late.
00:13:44
Speaker
the The skill is clearly there, but since, since love came back all last year, Packers were pretty thrown, like, you know, air, air heavy. And since loves injury, uh, they've, they've really moved into like a running game style. Okay. So they haven't yet. No, I know they haven't been behind as much. Yeah.
00:14:10
Speaker
Thank you, Jeff. Uh, I wasn't trying to break your train of thought. I would, I was, I was trying to have you control the horn that interrupted your own final thought and have it be seamless. Yeah. Um, but I paid it to every word as well. Perfect. That's what that was. That was the meal in their minute.
00:14:45
Speaker
Hey, Jeff, I think it's time to bring on our first special guest along with a special intro. Oh, sounds their jam. And everything they do, they have a plan.
00:15:12
Speaker
Yeah, yeah! The The They took second this year!
00:15:37
Speaker
ah
00:15:41
Speaker
Tim, the man who needs no further introduction. Tim, welcome back to the show. Hey, guys. Thanks. Thank you. That was an amazing theme song. Oh, thank you. Thank you, everybody.
00:15:55
Speaker
are um I was going back through the records trying to put together the history of this league. you know as We've been through some changes, um but since yeah since joining Yahoo, we've been pretty consistent.
00:16:14
Speaker
ah By my records, you last won in 2018. Is that accurate? I thought it was much more recent. I felt like it was much more recent than that too. whenever I feel like that was when I joined the league was in 2018 and I won it that first year.
00:16:30
Speaker
Yeah. I felt like you wanted in 2020 as well. Something like that. Yeah. I don't know exactly. Well, 2020 or 2022 and I went in 2022. You did. Okay. Yes, you did. Of course. So last year was Phil and then your four was Jeff and uh,
00:16:54
Speaker
And then the year before was Phil by my record. And then I got Ekum back to back 19 and 20. Is that incorrect?
00:17:09
Speaker
I don't know. I feel like I haven't been playing that long with you guys. Have I? I don't know. but well All I know and all that matters is I am a two time champion, Andy.
00:17:23
Speaker
it's true I remember it that way too. Yeah. Maybe you won in 16 and 18. Maybe you won in the other platform and then we switched over to Yahoo and you won first year in Yahoo. You were here on nfl.com, right Tim? I think that's where we started. Yeah.
Tim's Fantasy League Legacy
00:17:39
Speaker
Yeah. You had to have won on nfl dot.com. Yeah. So you can have that back to back. Right. man So Tim, if you can figure out when you won this league,
00:17:52
Speaker
pre-2018, I'll give you a dollar off your next year's entry fee. Sounds great. I'm going to do a deep dive into that right after we get off the call. Tim, I have a timid do have one quick thing for you. Great job, Tim. That was nice going in the fantasy football league.
00:18:13
Speaker
This is me doing a port from Fargo and the most iconic platters.
00:18:21
Speaker
My last name is Macaroni Teatsburg. He goes on for another minute about that, but yeah. Wow. Thank you to the Macaroni Teatsburgers. Yeah.
00:18:37
Speaker
Yeah. From planet earth. Yeah. Did they drop USA and Anders drop USA? Well, I mean, he's got, he's got to earth. He just wants to be known as an an earthling, not an American. Right. I'm a nurse link. We are all of us yeah earth links.
00:18:57
Speaker
Hey Tim, thanks for joining the call. For sure. Since you made it to the um to the championship game, and this league office had no official stance on the winner, we're just happy that that you made it out of there with no injuries. you know No physical injuries, of course. yeah Yeah, I didn't detect any bias during any of the podcasts, so I really appreciate that, you guys. Especially Andy, I really appreciate that, thank you.
00:19:27
Speaker
It's my true pleasure. You're welcome, Tim. Thank you for acknowledging that live on air. And we are we are going to save that audio clip forever. Tim, um you know, for what it's worth, I don't know if you recall, but second place does take home a cool hundred bucks. yeah So it's not not the worst thing in the world here.
00:19:48
Speaker
ah And once you listen to this show, you'll learn that next week we're going to have our End of Season Awards where we announce um all the ah monetary winnings for this year. And I hope you tune in. Oh, I will definitely be there. Excellent.
Season Highlights & Close Competitions
00:20:08
Speaker
Since you made it to the top two, we wanted to bring you back on for a special edition. Oh. I have questions.
00:20:20
Speaker
co question that's right Jeffrey and I have cultivated in the last 10 minutes um and you've been on the show for six minutes or we've cultivated five new questions um just you know specific to this league and and your experience and ah right off the cuff you've had no time to prepare no Tim What was your favorite moment from this season? ah It was when I had the, what was it, the closest loss and every week just tuning in and hoping that nobody would beat that. I thought for sure I was locked into that and that no one would beat it. But then was it two weeks ago? I mean, it was, it was it was a good ride and said you had to come to an end, but it was a lot of fun.
00:21:12
Speaker
Tim, thanks for not saying precisely that is a correct answer thanks tune to the end of season awards next week to hear exactly who Correct.
00:21:29
Speaker
how close it was and for historical context how it compares to our closest loss winners from the past few seasons it was remarkable gentlemen that' all i'm gonna say Correct.
00:21:41
Speaker
All I'm going to say is this.
Joe Burrow's Impact on Fantasy Results
00:21:44
Speaker
Tim, what was your favorite moment from the season? Tim, what was your least favorite moment from the season? Least favorite? Oh my God. I think that last week was a heartbreaker. When you took second? When you won second place? Is that what you're talking about? When watching burrow just go off.
00:22:10
Speaker
on, what was that Thursday, Friday? I don't even remember that. And just knowing that my dreams are pretty much dashed at that point. It was, I was a tough pill to swallow, but you know, that's how it goes. Like you said, I still took second place. So it's not that bad, but uh, yeah, yeah. Yeah. It wasn't a ton of fun to see that in a champion fifth game. Andy, I'm going to need you to create this one. Give me a, you know, one of these, one of those.
00:22:39
Speaker
ah Let me just run some numbers here. um beep pop boop Does anyone know how this fared in terms of Baro's fantasy performances this season? Let's see. This was his best performance of the season, so that is a correct answer, Jeffrey.
00:23:10
Speaker
Tim, he only beat his week five performance by a couple points, so you were 2.2 points away from being incorrect. Again. Another close loss there, almost. What was your biggest regret as a fantasy manager this football?
00:23:28
Speaker
Yeah. Oh my God. Biggest regret. I don't probably like always not paying close enough attention. Always forgetting that the waiver wire wasn't thinking until a day too late. Just going in and picking up scraps afterwards. so Yeah. Um, Jeff, what do you think about that answer? Correct, correct, correct, correct, correct, correct.
00:23:53
Speaker
doing a quick, uh, quick look here at the wave. Was it this year, Tim, that you, you called in and it was last year when you were like, you were on vacation somewhere that had no internet and you, and you couldn't set your line up. Yeah.
Internet Woes & Fantasy Lineup Challenges
00:24:05
Speaker
Yeah. I wasn't on vacation. We had taken like a day trip up to Northwoods, Wisconsin, and I had no reception and I didn't even think about fantasy until like 11 30. And I could not get online to set my line up.
00:24:22
Speaker
That's because you were literally in a fantasy world. True, literally.
00:24:29
Speaker
ah Tim, what are you looking forward to next season?
Anticipation for Rule Changes
00:24:31
Speaker
i You know, some people anything yeah some of the rule changes might be fun to see what what you guys have in store for next year. Is there anything you're looking forward to? I'm hoping maybe just my personal opinion in the median, if that was to go away, I wouldn't be sad.
00:24:54
Speaker
hmm we'll take that into consideration no god you have it right there we have one more question for you all right well we might have a six but Andy's got to decide on that one Tim how far will the Vikings go in the playoffs And man, it's so hard to say. it Depends on if they win this week or not. um
00:25:27
Speaker
Being in Minnesota, it's hard to have any optimism at all. And I feel like they're just going to crush our dreams like every Minnesota sports team ever does. But I don't know. I was going to say, they're they're going to suit all this here i'm goingnna say it third go on the Super Bowl to They're going to re-sign Sam.
Minnesota Vikings Playoff Prospects
00:25:49
Speaker
to a nice long contract. Yeah. Like correct, correct, correct, correct, correct, correct, correct. Jeff, I think we do have time for one more question, but tis Tim, it's got to be, it's got to be like from the gut, yeah you know, like a, like a Rorschach test, you know, you just gotta free free association here, okay? Jeff, hit him with it. All right, Tim, if you had a second punch, who or what are you swinging at?
00:26:22
Speaker
If I had a second punch, who or what, like it can be a person too? Oh my God, there's, I don't want to say anything. The champions get it You get to have a different focus, I guess. um ah All I can think of is giraffes, but I know that's not going to be a thing because giraffes, giraffes are built to take shots like that. But I feel like if I had the chance, I would regret not swinging at a giraffe. So I'm going for it. Giraffe. Wow. Hey, know my answer was fainting goats.
00:27:04
Speaker
Fainting goats, yep second punch, giraffe. You know, I wouldn't be surprised if, as soon as you cold cock the fainting goat, if his friend, the giraffe is checked out. Yeah. Well, again, I need to see what's going on. Yeah. And you just got a ah clean one. Yeah. It's a wild day at the petting scene, you guys. Yeah, it is. Tim, thank you so much for joining us. We we do we did have one voicemail for you really quick, Tim. Yeah. If you want to hear it. All right. Yeah. Let's hear it. Yeah.
Voicemail Mix-Up
00:27:32
Speaker
So sitting here,
00:27:35
Speaker
grilling a couple of burgers for lunch and I was just wondering to myself, like, there's got to be a way that I can be, we, the group, whatever. It'd be nice to find a way to just figure out what's on Nick Thunker's mind once in a while.
00:27:56
Speaker
not really sure if that's feasible. You know, he doesn't seem to like to participate with the rest of the group, but would be nice to, to kind of get his opinion and see what he's thinking once in a while. And so, yeah, I don't know. Just throwing that out there. I definitely mislabeled the audio clips.
00:28:20
Speaker
Yup. Put the same one in there twice. That was good of me. I mean, but it would be nice to give Thunker a safe space. Yeah. It would be nice to give Thunker a safe space, but it'd be nicer if I had downloaded the right thing. So you're saying, Jeffrey, that somebody left a voicemail specifically for
Congratulations & Farewell
00:28:45
Speaker
Tim? Yup. Not for Nick Thunker.
00:28:49
Speaker
Nah, for Nick Bunker. Was it the same somebody, Jim? No, no, it was a different person. Whoa. Yeah. it Random phone call.
00:29:02
Speaker
I'm very excited to hear it. Give me a second here. I'm trying to see where it, uh, uploaded it to the soundboard and of course, no. Is it my wife telling me how much I suck again?
00:29:18
Speaker
That'd be funny. Uh, no, no, this is just, I hear this. Just du wanted to chime in and say, Hey Jim, this is Langer calling you to wish you congratulations on, uh, on second place. It's not as good as first, but it's better than third. So just wanted to say way to go, ah you know, a job well done, a fantastic accomplishment. Well, um, hope you're having an awesome, uh, new year's and, uh, you know, good luck next year. Peace.

Speaker
What they were, but you're right. Nothing's rough. Yeah, so so the seventh the seventh place game ah was Steel House, right Andy? Yeah. And who were they? Who were they playing? Morris. um It actually already is a word. Tenetimba. Could you use it in a sentence for us? Good morning. That's a nice tenetimba. Ah, yes.
00:34:16
Speaker
Oh, right. Yep. Thank you. Okay. So my one thing, Andy, uh, not playing for much here, winner gets the ninth pick pick and a chance to impact the overall divisional showdown. Ninth pick this year got Garrett Wilson and 10th pick got Puka Nikua. Oh, that's interesting. Uh, interesting perspective. Yeah. Um,
00:34:44
Speaker
Yeah, for the seven-place game, Tom had the only perfect game of week 17. Sure. Considering his there's lineup, of course. And Mike was the opposite. Yeah, Ecum chose a hell of a game to leave the most points on the bench all season for Tenenba.
00:35:05
Speaker
Tough, tough. Andy, uh, we were going to have a guest this week. And since we don't have a guest, we do have some, we for each one of the showdowns, we have a bonus one thing oh for the guest oh bonus. So the top seated consolation seed falls to second seated. How embarrassing. Very embarrassing. I'm sure it wouldn't happen again. Right.
00:35:32
Speaker
And next up, we have the fifth place game. What's my DJ again versus no game schedule. But I want to make sure just to go back to that last point. really question So everyone knows that, but that Steelhouse was the the number one seed and the NBA was the number two seed. So the, there was no, there was no upset in that seventh place game. Okay. So in the fifth place game, uh, Oh, and also Steelhouse versus, uh, Tenenba would be 1.4 Lebowski.
00:36:09
Speaker
Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. This whole segment has gotten griefed up. It's been derailed. It's derailed. Yeah. Yeah. We need to rerail. We need to rail. Yeah. Do we start over? We need John. Let's just plot there. We need John Henry. We need John Henry. Okay. So Steelhouse versus the NBA was the number one season versus the number two seat, the number one versus the number. So that was not top seated console. Wow. So I got that. I got the bonus wrong. Is that right? Well, it wasn't, I mean, they were top seated no matter what, you know, like still house relation, seed one.
00:37:05
Speaker
Right. Beat the second seeded. Yeah. So there wasn't an upset. Not embarrassing. Oh my God. I'm embarrassed. Well, it's embarrassing if you go from the perspective that we were hoping that all of the lower seeds won for the week. Thanks for the save, Jeffrey. If everyone's still listening to the show, my apologies.
00:37:31
Speaker
I don't know what I'm talking about, but from here on out, it's going to be smooth. Well, the Q's and C's, we'll catch this one next week, but, ah it you know, there was a lot of chatter in the discord about upsets and the lower seed winning, and Ekam had some some regret in his lineup choices because if he would have optimized his lineup,
00:37:57
Speaker
the lower seed would have won in the seventh place game. I don't want i don't want to disclose anything else, but it, you know, Eacom felt like he had let everyone else down, but not. ye Yeah. Because he lost by what, 15 points? Right. To the team that was the higher rated team. yeah Right. And he lost by 15 and he left 38 on the bench.
00:38:27
Speaker
It's a bummer stuff. So that's how it should have been. That's how it should have been. Yeah. Okay, now we should move on. Yes. So the fifth place game, now that we've confused everyone thoroughly, the fifth place game was what's my AJ again versus no game scheduled, which is not that's inter division that is too expected to lose teams playing against each other. So not a divisional showdown. So who really gives a shit? They're playing for the seventh and eighth pick pick. Jamar Chase went seventh this year and AJ Brown went eighth.
00:39:06
Speaker
Not bad, a lot of value in that seventh pick for sure. Yeah, lots of value. Yeah. ah Tom's team was getting pretty lucky. The last... Did I not update this? Oh my god, I just copied and pasted.
00:39:27
Speaker
Okay. Well, in the bonus, in the bonus round, Andy, what we want to point out here is that the consolation third seed fell to the fourth seed. So there was an upset in the fifth place game, the lower ranked team one. Thanks, Jeff. Seems like we might, we, we just broke the trend of the, of the top seed winning. And now we have a lower seed winning.
00:39:56
Speaker
and Oh my god, Brian left 23 points on the bench ah to Jarrett's and like three. So really, um there was nothing Brian could have done here. It would have felt better, I'm sure. We'll have a closer match. But ah no, Jarrett left 14. So anyway,
00:40:22
Speaker
not my best five minutes of this show. Sorry, Jeff. I don't know where I am. but next None of us do. We're all, we're all, we're all in a dizzying wonder world. The third place game, Andy. So in the third place game, we have the Kuznog taking on the Lance Corporal underground alloy. Okay.
00:40:49
Speaker
okay So finally we have two teams playing for money. The winner gets 70 bucks and the loser gets the 11th out of 14 draft priority, formerly known as pick picks. That's right. Between the fifth place game and the third place game, we've replaced pick picks with draft priority.
00:41:11
Speaker
It's not all bad. This year, Derek Henry and Saquon Barkley win 11th and 12th, respectively. And look what happened to the teams that drafted them. Right, Andy? Enough about that. Thunk left a ton on the bench, but didn't need them. In fact, he could have given his 34 bench points the most for the Lance Corporal all season by more than double.
00:41:38
Speaker
given them to Zach and he still would have walked away with an easy W. Yeah, that's, that's pretty crazy. Uh, the championship six seed falls to the fifth seed. And my being punked is Aston Kucher about to join the call. I'm not a hundred percent sure what we mean by that one, but, um, The punked part? Were we, were we implying that there was an opposite there? The six seed falls.
00:42:09
Speaker
ah Uh, because the the higher rates team did win this matchup. Can we just buy a lot? pilot I'm very sorry. do do you ah Do you honestly want to start over or do you want to pretend like we've started over? The sixth seed beat the fifth seed. That's what I mean. Lance Corporal was the sixth seed. Beat. Man. Jess.
00:42:41
Speaker
Oh, so you're you're calling, you're calling them, you're calling them to succeed in the, in the, from like the playoff, initial playoff seeding. Yes. On the, on the, on the plant. Is anyone still listening to this show? Yeah. I have, I'm not inebriated, but who knows where my head was at when I wrote this script.
00:43:03
Speaker
Yes. Lance Corporal came into the playoffs as the sixth seed. And here in the third place game, yeah he beat the fifth seed. That's what I meant. And then in doing so, he became the third seed. Okay. Yes. Such a confusing bunch of... You don't need to me to explain product to an Ashland Kutcher. No, I know who he is.
00:43:31
Speaker
Because you know all the numbers from Japan. Yeah, right. And one can assume beyond. Yes. I clearly don't know numbers.
00:43:46
Speaker
Okay. So that's a reset for us. So we're, we're onto the championship game, right? Yeah. The five Oh first verse the pure shit house. This is another divisional showdown.
00:43:59
Speaker
Yeah, right. Do I have that right? Oh yeah, that's correct. ah That's correct. Um, cause cousin on verse Lance corporal was not a divisional showdown. Right. Um,
00:44:11
Speaker
Now, since we've already had Tim on and we've talked about how he was lucky enough to win second place, I think people probably know what's going on here. But big money here. The winner goes home with 160 and second place gets a mere 100. So we've already talked to Tim to see what he was going to do with his 100. Yeah, what we didn't do is grill him on um the fact that before week 17,
00:44:38
Speaker
Tim had only lost he had only lost one game that he should have won. right That he could have and should have won all season. By contrast, I lost four such contests.
00:44:52
Speaker
um This week, however, the 501st did it again. as his 22.6 on the bench would have bested Matt's optimal lineup by almost three and a half points. Right. And that's why, that's why when Tim went with, uh, his, his, uh, regret of the season, he did not get a good point. That was very, very accurate. Jeff is incorrect there.
00:45:21
Speaker
Um, so yeah. So the champ, the championship eight seed falls to the seventh seed. Okay. This game was kind of bullshit. That's me using the wrong terminology. Again, the eighth seed beat the seventh seed. Yes.
00:45:39
Speaker
So Matt was eight seed. Matt was eight seed and Tim was a seven seed. So going into the playoffs, the number one seed overall was Steelhouse. The number two seed overall was Ekamure. And then the three seed was What's My EJ Again? Four seed was No Game Scheduled. Five was The Cousnug. Then it was Lance Corporal at six. Seven was Tim. And eight was Mr. Maxa and the Pierce Shithouse. So yeah.
00:46:07
Speaker
So that that's that's how we kind of got ourselves gummed up here, but talk about fantasy. When I said, hey, Jeff, don't worry. I'll put the notes together for the show. You just added all this mess together and you said no problem.
00:46:24
Speaker
Well, why Reddit? And, and, and I, and I thought I hadn't understood. And then, uh, then as I was going through it now, I was like, Oh, I don't think the numbers are lining up in my head, right? But you know, Hey, we have, we have a special guest Andy that we need to go to right now. So let's go and find that, that guest.
00:46:52
Speaker
Hey Jeff, I think it's time to bring on our next special guest. Oh be nice. Yeah. And I think we have another special intro. We do.
00:47:30
Speaker
I wouldn't tell her the name of your team because I didn't want her to say, you know, know shit but then things started and I'm like, Oh, there's kids. Yeah. And I told her, I told her it was outhouse related and she was like, she didn't know what that was. And then that, that got confusing. She's like ah outhouse related. It's Matt Maxis. That's, yeah she got it right out the gate. Yeah. Well,
00:47:53
Speaker
She was, she was, she was afterwards, she was asking me all kinds of questions about, is that a band? Is that a person? And I was like, what are you talking about? We talked about him but multiple times at Christmas because grandma knew him and he was, and she was like, oh yeah, the guy whose brother had a baby in a car.
00:48:16
Speaker
And I was like, yes. I was like, what? She's like, Oh yeah. Grandma told me all about it. right yeah where was My brother didn't actually have a baby. His wife did, yeah but they gave birth on the side. She gave birth on the side of the road. Wow. So yeah. step Just the two of them.
00:48:37
Speaker
Just the two of them. Yeah. The other is actually suddenly, suddenly. Yeah. But it was like 38 below zero and cold on the side of highway 38 heading between big fork and grand rapids. My brother with one, my brother with one hand, he's got the 911 on the, on the cell phone holding that. Yeah. Is your brother a doctor?
00:49:07
Speaker
Uh-huh. No. God no. You did stay at a Holiday Inn Express.
00:49:14
Speaker
At one point in his life, I'm sure. yeah would Probably, yeah yeah. But then but then after after she connected those dots, she realized that Mad Maxa was a person. Yeah. Not a place or anything. No, Mad Maxa is a fucking champion. Wow. Mad Maxa would be a pretty good band name. Yeah.
00:49:36
Speaker
Yeah. Or the Mad Maxas. no second You'll just have to find other people who share your name. Hey Matt, congratulations. There was a one I ran across on Twitter once. Anyways. and And everything on Twitter is always 100% accurate. So I'm sure they were Mad Maxa. Yeah. Yeah. I didn't actually like connect with them or anything like that or whatever you do on Twitter. Mad Maxa bot. Yeah.
00:50:06
Speaker
Yeah. That would be, that would be actually pretty cool. If you ran into a Mad Max, a bot, like someone made a bot to be. What would it probably wouldn't be as cool if I made the pod. a If you got everyone else to believe that it was a Russian bot, that'd be pretty cool. Do have a shirt with Russian writing on it. Hey guys, yeah did matt back to the show. Yeah.
00:50:30
Speaker
to celebrate you, Matt, Max, and everything you accomplished in your introductory season and you like that. Congratulations on the victory. Thank you for coming back. I'm glad to be here. I'm sorry.
00:50:52
Speaker
You're apologizing for something? Yeah, I, you know, i I feel like I should have been more paired with some sort of confetti or celebration on my end. Ah, he's got nothing, so... School. or Hey, school, don't worry. We've got more celebrations planned, don't we, Jeff? Yeah. Yep. What? Next year's championship? Back to back? Ooh, that'd be fun.
00:51:19
Speaker
Anyways, it's been done before. Matt, you joined an illustrious line of introductory season. First year champs, including ah Tim Hall, your nemesis this year, and Phil, Phil the Hitman Cox. you know He took care of it business as well. He won his first year and his third year and then he peaced out. So, you know, next year might be the real storyline, right? Cause you can go one-on-one with the gray ones. Yeah. Assuming that Phil is able to be back. Assuming so. Yeah. Assuming that Kurt would be willing to come back if Phil wasn't, I guess is another question. I ah did bring Flacco in for the championship run. So,
00:52:16
Speaker
Beautiful. I felt like, I felt like I gave a not current enough shit in the, uh, in the draft party. Yeah. You know, might as well make flack or champion. He doesn't have to. That was nice. That was a nice touch. Matt, we got a special round of drinks. Oh boy.
00:52:38
Speaker
is question That's right, Matt. You thought the competition was over, but we just had just had Tim stop by. He answered the same five questions. And Jeff, how many points did he get? ah He did get five points. He got five points. How can I beat him, man? Well, there's six questions, of course.
00:53:02
Speaker
of course so guess five questions yeah ah so matt without Without further ado, what was your favorite moment from this season?
00:53:17
Speaker
um You know, it would be easy for me to say my championship win. yeah That's the little hanging fruit. I'm going to, I'm going to call this back for another time and say my favorite point or my favorite thing about this season was, was Kamen trying to talk shit in the podcast channel and it failing miserably. Kamen trying to talk shit and it failing miserably. Uh, what were they talking shit about? Is that everyone remember?
00:53:48
Speaker
is so time chip on man Yeah. When he, when he, when he made a comment about, yeah, yes. About the lowest, the lowest, the lowest points. but yeah Yeah. About minimum point. Right. Minimum on points eye or whatever the fuck. Yeah. How far back did you have to go for that man? insane That was like week five. I think it's back there.
00:54:11
Speaker
yeah yeah I had to figure out which channel it was in. So I went, I scrolled back in general in NFL, what, whatever, handful of them. You put in the work. Phone call me. Yeah. Was it in there? It's a, it's good that you checked phone call me. Yeah. That's what I would check first. I'd scroll through that and see if came in and had been talking shit in there. Yeah. Oh my God. That was great.
00:54:37
Speaker
You got three states. Yeah, you did. Um, Matt, what was your least favorite part of the season? Hmm. Definitely the start of my season. What was I? Oh, and four. Yeah. One four. Or I'm sorry. I would think I was a one eight or one in seven. One in seven. Yeah. You got to throw that man in there. Yeah. Yeah. And forget the media. So, uh, Jeff, I think I figured, yeah, I see.
00:55:08
Speaker
Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap.
00:55:21
Speaker
what's your what's your biggest tree regret of the fantasy football yeah biggest regret fantasy football year
00:55:32
Speaker
any players you missed out on any anyone you benched Crap. You know, I mean, give me half a second here. Yeah. Nope. I'm pulling it up myself. It looks like in, look at, look at week four, Matt, I draw your attention to week four. Uh, shit. Did you win that week? Nope. Nope. I'm looking at myself.
00:56:03
Speaker
Thank you, Jeffrey. me What is his team name? Pure shit up. Yes. I'd like to call your attention to week four. This might help you, Matt. If that is, yeah I was looking at, I was looking at week seven week, week four. I mean, yeah, I could have, you know, had more points. Um, you know, feel free to make as many, uh, some bites as you need.
00:56:31
Speaker
i I am going to say, however, my biggest, whatever. I forget what the question is. I would say it was week seven. but When I lost, when I lost my first matchup with one Nicholas James Thunker. And I don't know if I could have beat him.
00:56:58
Speaker
Let's see. No, you could. No, you know, I could not have, but I wish I would have beaten him every time I played him. Yeah. I'm sure if we did just two minutes of digging, we could tell you just how many players who were free agents at the time. um I'm sure. I'm sure. But losing to Thunka though, that was your biggest regret. Yeah. Not finding a way to,
00:57:29
Speaker
to beat it. Jeff, I don't know. I'll leave this up to you. I mean, it sounds, it sounds pretty remorseful. They're pretty regretful. Correct. Correct. Correct. Correct. Correct. Correct. Uh, Matt, is there anything that you're looking forward to next season? Another championship. Okay. Anything,
00:58:00
Speaker
out
00:58:04
Speaker
Well, can I, you can say what you'd like to see next season. That's fine too. What I'm looking forward to next season is where am I?
00:58:28
Speaker
is it did did did it that it What I'm looking forward to next season is this, and this is going to be a little bit of a, uh, preview for the, for the lead. I'm looking forward to having TJ Hawkinson in the ninth round.
00:58:45
Speaker
what Jeff, I think we've got some pretty nice.
00:58:53
Speaker
I got some breaking news coming out of... You like
00:59:13
Speaker
That's right, Jeff. Anytime there's breaking news in a five questions, um, that is a correct answer. Yeah. The dropping the keeper in the five questions on the championship week, uh, wrap-up show. That's that's big time. Huge first and and for next season. Yeah. I would break news and say I'm keeping anyone, but I don't think that's breaking news to anyone.
00:59:40
Speaker
Well, why not? You were the best of the worst. yeah Matt, ah question number five, how far will the Vikings go in the playoffs this year?
00:59:58
Speaker
I can tell this is affecting you deep in your soul. It really is. It really is. What I will say,
01:00:10
Speaker
We're going to see the Vikings and the bills in new Orleans early February. We'll see where it goes from there. Andy. Where's the super bowl this year? New Orleans. Whoa. Um,
01:00:33
Speaker
Yep.
01:00:44
Speaker
got the point, but I think it's incorrect. Oh yeah. You don't think they're making it to the Superbowl? I do not. Wow. No. All right, Matt. See, I have, I do have, I do have a problem with predicting Vikings wins and losses. And I yeah and i'll predict anything. You just said where they would be in February. you Where they would be. Right. Right.
01:01:08
Speaker
Hypothetical. You have a second punch. Who or what are you swinging at?
01:01:16
Speaker
um I have a second punch. Who or what am I swinging at? Nick Thuncker to get get him the fuck away from that giraffe. Yeah. Leave the giraffe alone, my man. This is a kind of... drama ah
01:01:40
Speaker
bringing your final tally to six points. Six points. that's relations but you That's a championship move there.
01:01:53
Speaker
Man, that was great. what you That second punch on Tim, but I already beat him bad enough. Whoa. Where is it, Jeff? Uh,
01:02:10
Speaker
He'll be back. He'll be back. Uh, not next year, the year after. Right. Even years on the championship. Um, I know you're going to listen to this show, but, uh, right. We're having one more, one more episode next week. End of season awards, uh, awards gala. Uh, you're going to have to listen to this and find out who our special guests will be. But, um, we hope, we hope to get your, your listenership as always.
01:02:40
Speaker
Did you have a good New Year's? Well, I did, I did. Yeah, I went and had a nice steak and watched the wild, beat the, well, not really beat the pants off of, but beat the Nashville Predators and went, did make it to midnight this year. Yeah. Doesn't always happen, but doesn't always happen. A stomach full of steak.
01:03:05
Speaker
Well, yeah, I'm used to that though. Wow. Okay. Did you watch the wild tonight while you were waiting for us? Or did you, uh, I didn't, I didn't, I thought about, I thought about going on cause I can't watch them at home. I don't have, uh, fan dual sports. North. Yeah. when I don't have a podcast link. Plus if that's where, oh yeah where there's an un I don't know what it was on the night. I just know that Um, it's on at the muni if I go there. So I chose not to go tonight ah because I was sitting here waiting for you guys to start. yeah Oh no. What, uh, we hope the, the one 60 for your league championship helps. And there's other prizes too, which will be announced at the end of season award show next week. Matt, any final thoughts for the league?
01:03:59
Speaker
You know, the, I guess my, my parting thoughts. One thing that I've, uh, that I've given some thought to is, uh, I gave all the fuckers a big head start.
01:04:16
Speaker
I mean, I, I think that, I think that is a shot fired at your division foes. Uh, I'll leave my division out of this. It's the whole league.
01:04:29
Speaker
you know what ham and But I do, I do, I do appreciate you bringing up the divisions because I mean, Andy, I mean our division, and and right? Yeah. Yeah. They doubted us. They did. They did. It's lucky. Cause if you weren't in that division, you wouldn't have even made the playoffs.
01:04:53
Speaker
He wouldn't have? No, no, I was this, I, no. Yeah. I was the 18th. Yeah. He would have been out for the playoffs. but but and ah Yeah. Well, that's all, that's all part of our strategic division plan, right? Right. Strategic division planning. Yes, and indeed. Yeah. Yeah. It is. You've been there when those divisions were getting picked. It was very strategic. Yeah.
01:05:18
Speaker
four five oh i see i see what you're saying well congratulations man uh there's a bit of randomness trial and error to um season after season and uh you were the beneficiary here um in a big way we've never seen eighth beat uh make it all the way and win it i almost did it a couple years ago two or three years ago um I did. I did think it was fantastic that, I mean, other than Mike ruining it, um, that every, every game throughout the playoffs, the underdog one, the lower, or the, yeah, the lower C1. So yeah. Crazy. It was crazy.
01:06:07
Speaker
Well, we might have some changes in store for next year, but ah stay tuned, Matt. Thank you. Absolutely. Thank you for joining the show, for joining the league. It's been a pleasure to have you on even before you were in the league. Yeah, we hope you keep ah calling in with all your wonderful voicemails. We do. There's a long, long up season ahead and that one is not going anywhere. Nope. It's easy to remember, hard to forget.
01:06:35
Speaker
We'll see what happens. It is. It is the top four speed dials in my phone. So thanks yeah, thanks Matt. You too. Have a good one guys.
01:06:50
Speaker
Thanks. Thanks again to Matt for coming on and, uh, you know, answering our, our five questions, Andy. Um, what, where what's like, where are we on to now here?
01:07:02
Speaker
Well, with the season wrapping up, we can wrap up the divisional showdown, Jeff. Oh yeah. Let's see how it shook out. Um, first of all, with Steelhouse beating to Nenba for seventh, that was one point for my division. Right. And lastly with pure shithouse, besting 501st, uh, that,
01:07:27
Speaker
That closes the book on perhaps the only divisional show that we'll ever have. what Well, hope we won't know until next year. We won't. We've got to, we've got got to be in some backroom discussions on divisions, median score, the whole, the whole ball wax.
01:07:44
Speaker
I think what people don't realize is we we still meet every week of the off season with the board of directors. yeah We discuss what rules worked, which rules didn't. we go We go over the metrics. We have all the analytics. There's all those numbers. We're crunching them. We've got the abacus. We got the slide rule, everything. Speaking of that final tally on the divisional showdown was 28-24 Lebowski.
01:08:13
Speaker
Hey, congratulations, Andy. Thanks, Joe. You know how to pick a division. That's right. so let it And I also know how to not give you a chance to ah you know get the better of me ever again. That's my main reason for shutting down divisions. If we do it,
01:08:32
Speaker
If we do it, it'll just be so I can be the one and only divisional managerial. Hey, you got, you got the title. Uh, let's final standards. Yeah. Um, so coming out of the constellation bracket, um, going into the playoffs, second place coming out of the playoffs in eighth place, we have tonight in box.
01:09:01
Speaker
Congratulations, Ecom. You fell very short. ah Very short. Yeah, you dropped six places. but Next, coming out of the regular season from seed yeah and finishing in seventh place was Steel House. No, also dropping six spots.
01:09:24
Speaker
Congratulations, Tom. Yeah. Congratulations, Tom. It's going to be hard for the next team to drop six spots as well, because we did not have a zero seed. It doesn't get any worse. No. Right? Yeah. Then those two. It's all up, all up hill from here. Who's next? Sixth place.
01:09:48
Speaker
We have our regular season third place finisher, Brian, and what's my AJ again. After a couple of heartbreaking losses to end the season, Brian slides into sixth place. that say One could say it was he trying to upgrade his pick pick or division priority or no, sorry, division priority may pick pick.
