Chris's NYC Struggles
00:00:04
Speaker
Welcome to the Chopping Block, the guillotine league podcast made for you. what's up boys it's a thursday night kind of crazy i know um i am here with spencer hi sorry i thought you're you're still going nope as you can tell it is a thursday for us um and uh that's it's it it's just us two we don't have chris uh chris is currently in new york city
00:00:39
Speaker
Fucking it up, living that life, um, being a G and, uh, he, he tried to make it work last night and, uh, just didn't happen. He was attending a play, you know, priorities, you know, yeah and, uh, he sent me a recording.
00:00:59
Speaker
He was walking like through New York City, like in the subway and like outside with the wind. And it was just like, Chris, Chris knows this. is it It was an, the recording was ass, literally unusable. Uh, so Chris typed out like five sentences that I will, that I will read. And that will be his appearance on the podcast. Let's go.
00:01:24
Speaker
So are we waiting for them? um How is this going to play out? I don't know, bro.
Fantasy Team Reflections
00:01:32
Speaker
I asked Chris what went wrong. He said some teams get hot at the right time. Mine was a week too late. I think if I would have survived the week, I would have won it all. Oh, to a getting out sucked and Chubb just wasn't ready in time.
00:01:55
Speaker
I love the good old. Yeah. I love the good old. You know, if I didn't get out this week, I wouldn't want it all. I think we've heard that many times over the years. And I think it's pretty bold coming in a week seven. Yeah. Yeah. But hey, hey man, more power to him.
00:02:12
Speaker
Yeah, that is kind of like the tale of people in guillotine to get out. It's like, Oh, one more week. I would have, would have been me. I would have been a winner. Um, Chris, I mean, this is interesting that Chris says that too. Cause he had no, no fab left. He had $35. Yeah, that's that's what I was looking at as well. I think, um, I think that's just a bad take with $35 left. And I mean, I don't think that's a hot, hot take. I'm already can't wait to get flame in the chat.
00:02:42
Speaker
for being a know hater, but with 35 bucks left and a whole lot of more people to be eliminated, that's just not enough cash to get it done. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, looking at Chris's roster ah from last week, I think he really did not have a winning roster. Uh, he didn't necessarily have a bad roster. Um,
00:03:08
Speaker
But definitely not winning. I mean, he had Jonathan Taylor coming back. Tyree Kale supposedly is going to do better with Tua and, uh, you know, Hertz Dobbins. Pretty, pretty solid. Yeah. I think it's one of the better rosters we've seen get out. I mean, they're always getting better week over week, but, you know, I don't think it was the the worst roster in the league.
00:03:33
Speaker
Um, to get eliminated this week. Um, I don't think that's a question whatsoever. Tyree, Jonathan Taylor, Jalen Hertz, DJ Moore, Nick Chubb, Goddard, once he's healthy, Roman doomsday. I mean, there's some good, good players on this roster. Um, yeah.
00:03:50
Speaker
If Chris had like 300 bucks and he said that I would be like, all right, all right. Yeah. Yeah. TBD. I'm with you. All right. All right.
Fantasy League Strategy and Roles
00:04:00
Speaker
So bold statement there ah from his. Well, I guess we'll just continue here. OK, so I asked him I asked him about ah the beef to be or not to beef. And he said, I don't start beef. I will finish it, though.
00:04:15
Speaker
just I'm just here to cook. love that ah He's doing his own thing. He's not focusing on what other people do. ah Some people, he said this, he said this in the recording and I did catch this. He said some people ah are sous chefs. They just watch people cook. And he is like the head chef and he cooks.
00:04:43
Speaker
and but I don't really know what that means. I kind of like it though. What's his ah average finish in this B team gauntlet? I, uh, it's actually pretty good. Uh, I think, let me check and pull up. gu Um, Chris, let's see before this year, it was at, oh, nevermind. It wasn't that good. Is is that 10? Uh, so probably, it probably went down to like 10.6, seven, I bet. So half the league is his little sous chefs watching him cook.
00:05:17
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah, I guess. I mean, that's not bad. eighteen I mean, that's... Yeah, pretty average. It's a hard league. Yeah, 10th is like you're you're you're one good finish away from being top half. Yeah. So, I mean, he might be right. Everyone's a little sous chef watching him cook. Big dog. And recording ah running the court on blue or...
00:05:47
Speaker
I don't know, man. Flynn McGarry. Shout out two chefs and chefs. If you guys know him. I don't. I don't. Unfortunately. Bobby Flay, Flynn McGarry. I know Bobby Flay. Yeah. Yeah. I know. Uh, what's a Snoop Dogg's friend? Martha Stewart. Yeah. Yeah. She's a chef. I think. Yeah. So Chris is out there just being Martha.
00:06:19
Speaker
All right. Hello. Wolfgang Pock. Wasn't that like a music guy? Uh, I think he's a chef, man. Uh, sounds like a hockey player. I just, I just know a couple of chefs, Wolf games, one of them for sure.
00:06:37
Speaker
Austrian chef? Oh, what the hell? Wolfgang Puck. Huh? Yeah, Wolfgang Puck, man. I think he he made the Crummy Bluey really famous in Australia, I think. He's Austrian, not Australian. I know. It's the bet, dude. I said Crummy Bluey. Let's move on from chefs. That's a pretty good a hockey name.
00:07:04
Speaker
If I was Canadian, I made my kid Wolfgang Parker. All right. I asked Chris, uh, people are getting a different podcast tonight.
Bid Reactions and Budgeting
00:07:16
Speaker
Yeah. I mean, I'm tired. I just woke up from a nap. I accidentally fell asleep. too It's Thursday. I'm off. I'm sitting on some, uh, CT C2O coconut water. Oh, shoot.
00:07:33
Speaker
I asked Chris about the bid reactions, he said, not surprised. We're at the point where people are budgeting more. You can't make a big overpay to fill a hole in your team like you could earlier in the season. I'm shocked Tyreke went for that much. He's a to a concussion away from being mid for fantasy, which is wild.
00:07:55
Speaker
Because Chris just said he would win the league because Tua was about to be back. Seems like a little contradiction. Let Chris cook, man. Just let him cook. um it' I'm just a sous chef. What do I know? Yeah. Shut the hell up, dude. oh Don't talk to Wolfgang Puck like that. I'm not. I'm no Puck. I'm no Martha.
00:08:20
Speaker
Uh, yeah, Tyreke did go for 308. Sorry, COVID. Um, to Pat for 308, it's not even overpay. He went up for the next bid with 284. So, uh, you and I bid way less. Yeah. I wanted to talk about your bids because, um, I felt like you might've won more than you thought you were going to win.
00:08:45
Speaker
Yeah, but you are out of money. Yeah, we'll get there. We'll get there. Well, Tyreke was expensive. I thought I i feel like he might. I don't know. He is one to a concussion away from from just being ass.
00:09:03
Speaker
Yeah, it was, um, I mean, I don't know what did you got next, but the bids this week were very interesting. They were. Well, Pat won also, he won, uh, Jonathan Taylor. yeah one eight i was going to say It was a two rosters, um, rolling in the brink struck.
00:09:23
Speaker
Yeah, yeah pat pat mighta Might have got the better end of that wolf wolf. I guess we'll tbd Um next three are me Yeah, uh, so I got was that us getting into the bids on tyreke and jt. I didn't even realize that. Yeah, that was us. Did you have anything else? Um, no, I guess not. I just thought it was funny that uh, jj missed tyreke Um by a hair and he has a crap ton of cash Which I'd be good thing might be a bad thing, but, um, JJ's, JJ's Mr. Money bags currently. Yeah. His roster is looking worse and worse as the week goes on as people's rosters get better. I told him, i dude, you just, you know, whoever you want. very score point points yeah are you scored twenty four He So that helps. Where are we at? Let's see. Uh, Oh, wait, I'm looking at the wrong week. Wait, what? Yeah. Karen Williams, 20 points.
00:10:22
Speaker
Kyrian, yeah, that's pretty good. All right, all right. Well, next three are me, man. I'll tell you what happened. Okay, I bid um been on Tyreke.
00:10:37
Speaker
I bid on JT. I. I'm pretty sure I put the same drop player for both of those, as well as like one more. It was either JK or DJ. So I put like the same drop here for the three of those. So I'm like, all right, I'm going to get one of them, right? Probably maybe. Who knows? And then JK, I'm like, I'm pretty sure I can get JK. I did. That was great.
00:11:02
Speaker
uh last minute was it uh i thought jk was a really interesting pay for you really i i don't know this late in the year paying for jk daubins says you're like it might like That's your running back going into like the rest of the season. I don't know. Yeah, no, I do. I was ratchet is a little ratchet. I do. I am enthusiastic about JK. But, uh, yeah, I don't know. I'm like, I want another player. Uh, Mike Evans, Mike Evans is out. So I'm like, I need, I want some more assurance. So I picked i picked up them. Uh,
00:11:45
Speaker
Here's here's what happened Tuesday night. I'm looking the bids and my alright. I got all these bids out was like business like five or six guys, which is just a testament to Chris's roster and. I was like, you know what? I don't have a bid on Jalen Hurts. I'm like I got your golf feel like Jalen Hurts is an upgrade and I'd like. My advice to like myself last week was you should bid on players.
00:12:13
Speaker
Might as well. So I did. And I want them. And then I want two more guys. Yeah. So I woke up Wednesday morning like, oh, no, my money. Yeah. So, yeah, now I'm basically got a money. And honestly, like DJ Moore has been made.
00:12:36
Speaker
JK Dobbins is like, he's RB2, he's mid. And Jayden Hertz is QB9, he's kind of mid too. So i got I spent all my money for probably not a winning roster. I think I ah probably cemented myself as like a fifth place finisher, sixth place finisher. Yeah, that's kind of what I thought too, once I woke up and saw that, I said, I looked at your roster and I thought to myself, the money you got left,
00:13:04
Speaker
We're probably going to go several more weeks, but this isn't going to be enough to get it done. I don't think so. But it happens. That happened to me last year. I felt like there was a week where all of a sudden all my money was gone because I won all the bids. And that's just part of guillotine. That's part guillotine. Yeah. You never really woke up. You could still win. Woke up. And like i didn't I didn't win this year.
Nick Chubb's Performance Analysis
00:13:27
Speaker
Yeah. Sorry. my ear. Yeah. Anyways. ah Sucks a suck. D Bigs picked up Nick Chubb. Nobody bid it on Nick Chubb. Nick Chubb is... I don't think he's gonna be good this year.
00:13:51
Speaker
I think ah with the Deshaun Watson tearing his Achilles, not that he was there even good to begin with with Watson, but an Amari Cooper dipping, I just feel like that roster is just waving the white flag. There's no reason for Chubb to like, I'd just be like, I'm taking the rest of this year off too to rehab. that It's just, yeah it's over. Yeah.
00:14:23
Speaker
Uh, Mitch picked up got her for 40 could have got him for free sucks to suck does suck too since he's dead Is uh, is he did he You didn't see Chris Godwin like oh no got her. Oh I was I'm I'm stupid. I'm a potato that makes way more sense Mitch. I'm sorry. Yell at me. I'm with almost bud. Oh Oh, stupid Spencer. Uh, yeah. And a bunch of other bids. Uh, Chris in his audio message said he was shocked. JML went for $3.
00:15:07
Speaker
He was suspended. Also, he's a literal like in guillotine, he'll fuck you.
00:15:20
Speaker
He will fuck you and you'll be out. So I'm not surprised.
00:15:28
Speaker
Uh, yep, that's the bids. All right. That's the bids. That's bids. Uh, uh, Chris said out next, his answer. Me Spencer. Yep. I told you, I didn't didn know it. That was, that was true. Had some risky weeks and his luck is running out.
00:15:48
Speaker
Well, I actually felt like I, I want a big player this year because I got my first round pick back and he already scored 14.6 points, 106 yards, seven receptions, Puca's back. It feels like I want a massive player off the waiver wire since I have not had him all year. I'm quite excited. Yeah. Pretty hype. Pretty hype. Now you just need a running back.
00:16:16
Speaker
Running backs are overrated in the guillotine. Pro tip. Pro tip. Didn't know that. and Hey, now I know. Yep. Now I know. Hey, here's a, you know, I'm being a little optimistic here for myself looking at all the the fab. I actually have two people with less fab than me. That's great. Better be careful, Joel. We're about to be glazing ourselves talking about our rosters here. There's nothing else to do. Chris didn't show up.
00:16:42
Speaker
who Who did he say was gonna win? I mean, I'm out next week I think I think I'm I think that's like my third third reaction of me being out through seven weeks at least Yeah, at least I am the fan favorite to get out every single week Yeah,
00:17:02
Speaker
yeah he said in the audio message he said he would have picked me but he doesn't want to glaze me so he's picking JJ and I think JJ is the smartest pick. Um, if he can actually spend some money, um, just because of the amount of money he has left, he can kind of, if he plays his cards, right. You can really make a super team, but I'm not gonna lie his team. I mean, Kyron scoring 20 is huge, but I think he would agree. It's getting a little sus. Um, a lot of injuries, a lot of injuries, injury prone players on the roster.
00:17:39
Speaker
Yeah, looking at it, it looks like a team that would would get you out and key a team. Yeah. So Devo always getting injured. Tyler Lockett can just goose egg you or bear or score five points. I don't know. Lockett. Hunter Henry literally goes for 100 yards or none. You just don't know what you're getting with Hunter. Madison, I guess he's been hot lately, so I kind of like it. Ken Allen.
00:18:11
Speaker
He's always under two. Yeah. Lay flowers. I guess I would, I would advise JJ not to start Tua, but he might start Tua one of these weeks. JJ loves Tua. JJ's j jj is horned up for Tua. Yeah.
00:18:33
Speaker
Yeah, I think ah JJ in general is very conservative in fantasy football. Uh, probably too conservative and that could bite him. Like if he gets out with 700, that's going to be a thumbball cast. Yeah, that's a fumble, but I know what he's trying to do. He's trying to, he's trying to just spend like, you know, get one of those weeks where he gets to the big guy and we're finally like, Oh my gosh, that was so cheap. But.
00:19:00
Speaker
You never know. It might, it might never come. You know, when people are down to their last 400 bucks, 300 bucks and they almost got out, they're going to drop it all to stay in every, you know, one more week.
Final Predictions and Farewell
00:19:10
Speaker
That's what guillotine is all about. Yeah.
00:19:16
Speaker
So yeah, I guess JJ is going to win and you're going to be out and, uh, Hell yeah. And that's, that's, that's about it. What else you got?
00:19:29
Speaker
Um Nothing really man, I uh, I need a running back Definitely gonna find me a running back. Um, should have should have picked up jk dobbins, bro Yeah, maybe I should have that was bad by me terrible I don't got, I don't got nothing else. Uh, great year, Chris. We missed you. I think, uh, yeah, I think the league is disappointed in, um, your no show. Um, yeah, I think a lot of people are excited to hear what could have been a a fireworks podcast, but we'll never know. Yeah.
00:20:14
Speaker
But, uh, yeah, I hope you're having a good time in the big Apple. Eat a big Apple for me.
00:20:25
Speaker
And, uh, if you made it this far, drop a Apple in the chat. Apple's in the chat. See ya.
