00:00:04
Speaker
Welcome to The Chopping Block, the guillotine league podcast made for you. Oh, baby, you already know. I've been waiting.
00:00:16
Speaker
I'm ready. All these ah losers don't want to be on the podcast. We finally get a freaking little gremlin that ah that ah wants to be on the podcast. ah So here I am today.
00:00:30
Speaker
First time in weeks.
Spence's Honeymoon and Bike Theft Story
00:00:33
Speaker
With ah Mr. Big Spence, Mr. Gricko, married man. What's back from the honeymoon. Yeah, I'm back.
00:00:45
Speaker
I'm here. He's back. did you ah Did you take any L's while you were in New York? ah Yeah, actually did. I took one pretty big o I'm not happy, though. um I rented bikes, and a bum stole the bike.
00:01:01
Speaker
no No shock. Wait, really? I'm not joking. A bum stole my bike and in New York, in Central Park.
00:01:13
Speaker
That's awesome. Well, I had to pay 200 bucks. I actually, well, actually, you know what? I'm glad you brought that up because I feel like we have some parallels and ah somebody in this guillotine league had a really, really nice bike.
00:01:32
Speaker
ah This bike had all the bells and whistles and it got fucking robbed this week. um And you know what? ah More than $200 had to get spent because of this this ah this beautiful bike getting robbed.
00:01:46
Speaker
um So here to talk about it, ah Garrett, what's up? What's up?
00:01:55
Speaker
I love my big, beautiful bike.
00:02:02
Speaker
Yeah, my bike got literally jacked by a bum. That's crazy. Did you lock it? That is crazy. No, it's personally my fault. But listen, I like went around a corner.
00:02:14
Speaker
Right. Like it's not like I went very far and I'm like, oh, there's like a ton of bikes, especially on lock too. And I'm lucky and do just just literally just ripped it.
00:02:25
Speaker
You see him like riding away. no no, no. I don't know. He was quick is gone. It is bad. I'm surprised you only had to pay two hundred dollars.
00:02:39
Speaker
but honestly $200 is a scam because i look online and they're selling the same damn bike used for $100 I'm like why is it $200?
Fantasy Football Woes
00:02:49
Speaker
you're like can I buy one of these and then give it to you? i mean I literally well I was I didn't see that until later I was literally going to pull that i' I'm honestly I'm probably going call my bank and call call it fraud if can get some money back for it it's literally bullshit Resin the customer service center pulling up eBay last sold.
00:03:09
Speaker
I mean, this is. Yeah, I'm going to call fraud on these people. Was it just like a normal bike? Was a piece of shit bike, dude. It was a literal piece of shit. Oh, man.
00:03:20
Speaker
it It looks like they stole it from bum.
00:03:29
Speaker
Maybe that's what happened. It was actually his and they rented to me. don't know. I got fucked up, bro.
00:03:36
Speaker
That's their racket. They just go steal it and then take an extra 200 from i a thirty the contract. I have a theory they stole it. Yeah, that's what i'm saying. They didn't even like log the serial numbers like they don't. i don't know. For all I know, it was there and they just it's right back in the up, bro.
00:03:53
Speaker
oh
00:03:57
Speaker
Oh, that's rough. Garrett, tell us about your big, beautiful bike, dude. I love my big, beautiful bike.
00:04:09
Speaker
Oh, man. i No, honestly, i feel like all of my players underperformed.
00:04:21
Speaker
Pretty much. I mean, that makes sense. Yeah.
00:04:25
Speaker
I was hyped to get Danny danny Dimes, a.k.a. Indiana Jones. Yeah. That was awesome. and And then he sucked. i mean So 16 points. and Yeah.
00:04:40
Speaker
Not what he's been doing. He threw three picks. Yeah. Yeah. So I don't know. and It was just a bad week. It was a bad week. I honestly, I was expecting it.
00:04:51
Speaker
I was, I like, you know, look at the projections the week before you see where you're at. I wasn't looking amazing. So I wasn't that surprised, but I felt like I could have been a lot closer. I just like, you know,
00:05:05
Speaker
Justin Jefferson getting however many points he's getting. Like, he's he's been doing that all year. He hasn't been doing anything crazy, really. So, I shouldn't have expected more, but it's Justin Jefferson. He's getting 13 points. Like, all right. Kind of nice. Kind of like, bruh.
00:05:23
Speaker
Come on, buddy. Yeah, your problem is probably Jameer Gibbs four points. Yeah, that was a big one. That one hurt a lot. Um... Yeah, I mean, Garrett Wilson missed the week.
00:05:37
Speaker
Or is he at a bye? I don't know. Something like that. He's he's been messed up for a bit. Yeah, I mean, just, yeah. Overall, lack of lack of effort out there on the field.
00:05:50
Speaker
And I communicated my disappointment before they got got got by Joel. So, yeah. They know that they've been disappointed. team
League Rules and Strategies Discussion
00:06:01
Speaker
fucking good eating right there is what you said.
00:06:03
Speaker
it I mean, it was like you look, I guess it's the name recognition, to be honest, that there's a lot of name recognition on that team. You got, you got some, you got some boys that, you know, you know what I mean? Like Gibbs, oh Wilson, Jefferson, Swift, even Darius, Kenny Walker, Kittle, like,
00:06:25
Speaker
That's name recognition right there. So I don't know. It doesn't seem like that's going to lead you to the promised land. I'm not going to lie. I wasn't after a little ways through. i was like, this is not, it's not going to happen this year. I'm not going to do too well, but you know, kept grinding, trying to, trying to put some, put some bids in and stuff. And you know, that's just the way it goes sometimes.
00:06:47
Speaker
Sometimes your bikes get fucking lifted by a bum.
00:06:53
Speaker
Yeah, that's bullshit. is In this case, Gary, am I the bum or is Jameer Gibbs the bum?
00:07:05
Speaker
No, that this is actually, I think this is the first time that you're not the bum. Holy. Let's go. Although, kinda, because of your weird shitty-ass rules. So you're still sort of a bum.
00:07:16
Speaker
so What's the shitty-ass rules? Chris thought they were shit this morning, Joel. Is he still is he still ro not rostered, that ah Monty?
00:07:28
Speaker
ah I don't see him back on a roster yet. I don't really know. As of this moment, he is not on a roster. Wow.
00:07:40
Speaker
Let me see if I can do it on desktop. I wasn't able to do it. Oh, I'm just locked out. Never mind. can't tell if he's on a roster or not. Let me try again. i literally tried. And if I can't add him back, it might just be like sucks to suck situation.
00:07:58
Speaker
Joel's going somehow win the bid for him too and be like, don't know what to tell you, bro. No, yeah, he's not on the roster. He's not on the roster. So somehow he's still just floating around. I did it.
00:08:09
Speaker
It worked. Oh, you did? Okay. Bugging this morning. got it. There it is. Yeah, it's bad. Kristen ah seemed to probably fucking dropped, just dropped it himself. was like, what the hell? Dude, did Montgomery just got dropped? He didn't even At first, I thought he was just like, my team's too stacked. I got to get rid of this. It
00:08:35
Speaker
oh was awesome. but No, I'm selling this player, he said. um and that's not how it works, Chris. so that was That was a pretty funny chat to just be like peeking at throughout the workday today. i was pretty entertained.
00:08:51
Speaker
It was pretty funny. ah For those that are left in, go ahead and read the rule. It's pinned.
00:09:02
Speaker
so Selling players. I think we have like three weeks left. So get your get your sales in if you want.
00:09:11
Speaker
ah I mean, we we we probably should just continue flaming Chris because there's some business to attend to. um Chris could have one Jameer Gibbs with $370. that the max that was like for everyone else?
00:09:30
Speaker
Pat had $369. That was but the highest. The next highest? Yeah, so $370 would have taken home anybody. So $305. Pissed into the wind. Just funsies. Just for funsies.
00:09:44
Speaker
Literally, it's like... just for funsies were fun literally and that's like It's probably worse than me sitting down at at a Baccarat table and losing $500 in one sitting.
00:09:56
Speaker
No, it's not. I don't think it is. I don't think so. It's not. Hey, I this is like, how much is the buy-in again? 30 bucks?
00:10:08
Speaker
I don't even know. What is it, like 25? I don't know either, but it's not 500. know that. no. no But ah yeah there was no fun to be had pissing $305 in the wind like that.
00:10:20
Speaker
Chris, what's going on here?
00:10:23
Speaker
Chris is not in this podcast, so. and That was just, yeah, you know, he'll answer that. Right, right, right. Garrett, what do you think? I just, ah all I'll say is that's not a winning move right there.
00:10:40
Speaker
Spencer? That's a great answer. I'm not going any further than that. Shit. I mean, I've made some not winning moves in the past, and that's also one of them right there. That's definitely one of them.
00:10:55
Speaker
I think
00:10:59
Speaker
Chris has demonstrated in two leagues that I wouldn't trust him with my finances. why
00:11:07
Speaker
I've seen twice now some just bizarre decisions when you give that man ah large amount of fab dollars or dollars in some sense. The $100 Saquon when he was at 50.
00:11:22
Speaker
What's that roster looking like now? Ruining his season. that was That was earlier this year. and and now this. So... What's his record in that league?
00:11:33
Speaker
I don't know. He gets one in eight? Oh, he's one in eight. It happens. It happens. um i think Chris...
Predictions and Debate
00:11:42
Speaker
think in other leagues, he's demonstrated that ah he knows enough about football to put together a good team.
00:11:49
Speaker
He does know. I just think think when you have to mix in the finance part, that's where I don't have much trust in him right now. After those two choices.
00:12:02
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. Somebody called Dave Ramsey. yeah Yeah, Dave Ramsey would not like this.
00:12:13
Speaker
I'm i'm a huge fan of this, personally. um Spencer, I'm sure you're a fan as well. Yeah, you guys are both still in. Well, course, we're in. He was in the biggest competition. Chris, would if he won Jameer for 370, he still would have had the most money.
00:12:28
Speaker
ah could it I know, that's why I was looking at his team, and I'm like, this guy could take take this league down. so um I'm happy with the outcome. I feel like if I can survive this week, I feel like I'm in a good position.
00:12:41
Speaker
but i'm I'm worried this week. I got a lot of people on by. Okay. Okay. Garrett, what are your thoughts here? I picked up like a bunch your freaking frail little an injured guys.
00:12:58
Speaker
Oh, yeah. Who'd you get? You got Garrett Wilson. Love that guy. I got DeAndre Swift. I got Slick Rick. I got Kenny Gout.
00:13:10
Speaker
All those dudes are dogs.
00:13:15
Speaker
ah Sorry. i think you might have just won the league, Joel. Those dudes are all dogs. Holy, if they play, if they see the field. Dude, Slick Rick. Sleeper.
00:13:27
Speaker
I love him. love It's my boy. He's going get you some weeks. Yeah, he's still sidelined at practice today, unfortunately. don't care. don't know that going to play this year, bro.
00:13:41
Speaker
I'm somewhere in the water over there San Francisco. Oh, yeah. No, I honestly do like all those players, but they have not had the seasons that they probably...
00:13:53
Speaker
could have had. Definitely not the season they could have had. I think the season they should have had. I was very high on Garrett Wilson this year. Kind of unfortunate ah you know quarterback play.
00:14:07
Speaker
The Jets just suck, so that's part of it. ah I was very high on Ricky Pearsall this year. Injures, injuries, it's just that's just the way it goes. I was very high on Kenny Walker.
00:14:18
Speaker
He kind of sucks. so Yeah, Kenny Walker. ah He's killing me too. He kind of sucks. But, you know, I don't know.
00:14:30
Speaker
He's still, isn't he still the lead back? I'm pretty sure he is. I don't know he if he is, man. Maybe not. He might be losing his job. He's taking more and he gets gold. I don't know.
00:14:44
Speaker
I don't feel like it. Yeah, no, I know. I don't know. I feel like, ah I feel like my team is pretty good. What did I get? 10th or 9th? I don't know, actually. I think it's 10th. I'm top half now.
00:15:00
Speaker
Almost made top half. I mean, that's still a good performance, I think. Yeah, was all right. I think, ah I don't know what my... There was someone that early on... Oh, that's I spent a ton of money on Justin Jefferson. That was what kind of killed me.
00:15:15
Speaker
Because he wasn't, like, making major... major splashes he was consistent and he always was putting up like 10 at least but he wasn't doing anything crazy so my like 500 and something that i spent on him was not worth it yeah you need the any of those t higgin drake london weeks yeah just don't they just drop 30 points or randomly exploded yeah it helps at least you know so yeah that's where that's where i'm at
00:15:48
Speaker
Okay. Well, who's getting cut this week, eh?
00:15:57
Speaker
You're a little out of practice, Joel. Bro, haven't done this. What's next again? i forget. Oh, yeah. ah Who's getting
00:16:07
Speaker
Oh, man. ah Let's see. Let's give it a little gander here.
00:16:23
Speaker
Shoot. Joel, it might be you.
00:16:29
Speaker
I said you're winning earlier. Your team's kind
00:16:35
Speaker
of ass. but has been yeah Yeah, your team's kind of ass.
00:16:40
Speaker
You got good dudes on the bench, though. Your bench is hot. Not to mention Deep as hell, dude. Deep as hell. You even got a gift from Fitz, man.
00:16:53
Speaker
You got a nice gift from Fitz. Oh, yeah. See, these rules are bullshit. here's what Here's where I'm at with these dumb rules. Okay, you ready? I'm ready.
00:17:04
Speaker
I'm already i'm already in i'm in three leagues, which is like probably, I don't know, if you take the whole league, I bet that's on the lower end of most people's amount of leagues that they're in.
00:17:16
Speaker
Probably. Probably. Just taking a guess. But um my opinion has always been, and will remain, that I'm in a redraft league, I'm in a dynasty league, and I'm in this league.
00:17:29
Speaker
This league doesn't need to be different. It already is. It's so different from everything else. So why do we need to keep on making it fucking weird as hell?
00:17:39
Speaker
It already is. Just let it be what it is. It's fine. You don't have to do these weird, like, no. So I thought about doing the the cell player thing, and then I said, no, I'm not doing that. It's stupid.
00:17:51
Speaker
me I think I did democracy. I pulled the people. It shouldn't be. You're a dictator, Joel. I should be a dictator. Well, if I'm a dictator, I'll just do like random shit.
00:18:02
Speaker
Well, then be a less shitty dictator. Be a dictator, but don't do
Podcast Reflections and Conclusion
00:18:09
Speaker
anything about it. Don't do anything.
00:18:12
Speaker
Anyways, I don't like your new rules. I hope you don't make any new ones next time. Okay. That's what I got. Okay.
00:18:22
Speaker
valid i know ah who do you think is gonna win the whole freaking thing
00:18:35
Speaker
uh let me see let me see
00:18:46
Speaker
a I like Adrian. Adrian's going to figure it out. going to find a way. Adrian. That's my boy. He's going to get it done.
00:18:58
Speaker
Okay. The Rocket Man? I like it. What? The Rocket Man? ah Yes.
00:19:10
Speaker
I thought you were referring to his name on Sleeper, and I was like, I don't think that's his name, but I understand. I thought you talking about like Elton John. Big, big space dude.
00:19:21
Speaker
Big space dude. I thought he was big the big space guy. Big space guy. Yeah. So yeah, that's my prediction. Adrian's going to win it. Okay. Sick.
00:19:36
Speaker
Sick. Cool, cu cool, cool. You guys got anything else to say? haven't done this in so long. I feel like we've got blue balls. We need to blow a podcast load.
00:19:51
Speaker
Yeah, let's blow a big old podcast load here. No, I don't have... go shit I'm just here.
00:20:02
Speaker
i'm here. This is the... This feels good. It feels like it's the halfway point. It's a good time for the pod. Halfway through the season for Yateen, it's like, it's a good time for it. So everyone else, you're welcome. And everyone who didn't do a pod, you guys all suck.
00:20:18
Speaker
Be better. That's what I have to say. well And tell Joel not to make any stupid ass rules. Hey. It was like, shut up.
00:20:30
Speaker
I'll do what I want, but I'll listen to the people. Oh, well, you don't listen to me, so it's fine. ah Eli says I miss the podcast. So if Eli gets out and he doesn't do the podcast, then he's a little bitch.
00:20:44
Speaker
Yeah. Eli is supposed to do weekly podcasts in his Dynasty League, and they don't come out every week. so i thought it was funny hearing him being like, I miss the podcast because he has other league mates literally every week saying, where is my podcast?
00:21:01
Speaker
what It was kind of funny for me to read that because I do enjoy the podcast and his league and he's and he produces them. so
00:21:12
Speaker
Eli suggested I have my built-in co-host. In that case, the podcast will just be... No no one would like that. Eli. You just dinosaur numbers. No, it's not awesome.
00:21:29
Speaker
It sucks.
00:21:33
Speaker
No one wants to do that. No. So take that, Eli. All right. That's the podcast. Garrett, emoji us. I mean, I think it's obvious.
00:21:47
Speaker
A rocket? No. A bike. A big, beautiful bike, dude. A big bike with a bum. With a bum, yeah. Give us a bike and a bum.
00:22:00
Speaker
And any other bee emoji you can think of. Including the red bee. Holy... Bikes...
