Thanksgiving Travels and Anecdotes
00:03:05
Speaker
Jeff, how was your Thanksgiving? It was great. It was great. Drove all over the place and now I'm home.
00:03:15
Speaker
He lived to tell the tale. Did you not? Yep. Blizzard on the way down, but safe on the way back. Yeah. Blizzard on the way down. That was pretty fun. Um, nothing on the way on the way home, but, uh, Blizzard that wasn't in the forecast. So that was cool. so I watched multiple cars fly off the road. Wow. Yeah. Wow. That's difficult. Uh, you take any leftovers home though?
00:03:43
Speaker
Oh, we didn't. No, we skipped out on those. Wow. In the photo for this week's show, I am finishing the last of my leftovers from Thanksgiving. So nice, nice. What was your favorite Thanksgiving item this year? um I'm a big fan of the cornbread corn, which is on the side of the Jiffy cornbread mix. Yeah. Like a cornbread souffle kind of a deal where you put Cream corn, canned corn and sour cream and the jiffy corn mix. It's awesome. That, and they give that recipe away. Oh yeah. of the box. Or are you just throw it in on the Google. Cornbread corn. Can't go around. Thanks Zach. Did you have to drive through a blizzard to enjoy Thanksgiving dinner? No. I did drive about
00:04:40
Speaker
four miles. So it was nice. Very nice. Well, we're glad. I'm glad you made it back the trek. Yeah, sure did. How about you? Four miles there, four miles back. I drove about 40 minutes, ah you know which is probably probably the equivalent miles. Had Thanksgiving with some friends. It was very good. And ah they sent me home with leftovers. So I got to keep the party going.
00:05:12
Speaker
You guys, you might know Zach here, and an avid listener of the show, obviously. ah We have a shorter format this year. We've already blown six minutes, but um we're gonna we're goingnna get to everything in in due time.
Playoff Scenarios & League Navigation
00:05:28
Speaker
Starting off with questions and comments. Number one.
00:05:34
Speaker
Playoff scenarios were discussed in the Discord, but we're going to get to those later. So hold your horses, but please listen to the end. ah Question number two, Zach, did you do you know where to find the list of who is who in this league? What is what? And the awards tracking progress? No. Well, worth well, well, well.
00:06:03
Speaker
I'm pretty sure it's on a channel called Rules Talk. ah You know about the different ah Discord channels within our server? Yep. right i've I've seen the list, yes. Yeah. so much You pretty much just live in punk only, right? Yeah. Just me and me reading thong. Right. There's no place else to be. But if you go to Rules Talk, there's a pinned post there.
00:06:30
Speaker
That brings you to our Google spreadsheet so you can see um how you're doing. See if you're leading in any of the categories like ah closest loss, biggest blowout, um best ah single week score for a player, whatever we call that one. ah Worst manager, et cetera. Okay. You can also figure out um which team name links to a Discord name, links to a Discord server name. I don't know. it's It's pretty confusing, but we're trying to help you know who you're talking to. Okay, Zach? That is helpful. Thank you. Yeah, nope.
00:07:14
Speaker
This, this week I had to verify, I knew that Kurt was smiling moose, but I just wanted to make sure that no one had gone in there and also changed their name to a smiling moose. So I, I have to remind, I have to figure out smiling moose every time.
00:07:32
Speaker
I know slippery fill up, I know taser face even, but when I'm trying to tag Kurt, I press the at and then I'm flow mixed and I start typing at A, at B, at C, at D. It takes a while, right? To get to, t i I just forgot it again. What is it? The smiley moves. It takes a long time. So Kurt, good shot.
00:08:00
Speaker
Yeah. Classic. I don't know why I remember Slippery Phillips so well. Maybe it's because we interact more on Discord. That's probably it. Wily, fella.
00:08:12
Speaker
ah Question number three, we get a lot of questions.
Podcast Recap & Humorous Struggles
00:08:15
Speaker
what's you know Everyone asks, what is the phone number so we can call in or text? And Zach, we brought you here um just off the top of your head. ah Hit us with that phone number, would you? Yeah, 701-241-9000. That's easy to remember or to forget.
00:08:35
Speaker
All right, ah Jeff, any more questions and comments today? ah No, no, we we got no questions and no comments today. Zach, the next section of our show is called the Mule their Minute. Did he happen to watch the Vikings game this week? I happen to be at the Vikings game this week. Yep. Well, then you're going to have a great report for us. You have one minute and tell us everything we need to know about it now.
00:09:02
Speaker
Well, the first half sucked. It was just a bunch of field goals, which nobody wanted to be there. Nobody wanted to see it. um theyre I think their kicker missed one, and we missed one as well. And then second half was awesome. We finally started moving the ball and got JJ involved. He didn't really do too much in the first half.
00:09:31
Speaker
um set He set a record right or he like there's a so many thousand The fourth fourth player ever to have a thousand yards in his first five seasons consecutively. Yeah. Yeah and Then I didn't I think Aaron Jones fumbled again Yeah, that was sweet and then he caught a pass and fumbled that too. I little bit dicey from my perspective as far as whether he had the catch or not. But um anyway, the... Who do we play again? The Cardinals?
00:10:16
Speaker
Doesn't matter. We played. Yeah, it doesn't matter. Um, the Cardinals had a chance to go for it on fourth down and seal the game. If they got a touchdown, we went ahead and shot to win. And then they ended up going for a field goal. So then they were only winning by six points. And then we just marched right down the field and scored on their ass. It was beautiful.
00:10:45
Speaker
Thank you, Zach. Thank you, Jeff. That has been the Me Older Minute.
00:10:51
Speaker
Zach, now we have the part of the show that ah people outside of our league would feasibly listen to. That is the part where we get to put the spotlight on you, good sir. This section is called. I have questions. I have questions.
00:11:14
Speaker
Yes. The, the most creative name for any segment we've ever come up with five questions where we ask you six questions oh and we compile the answers and you know, keep them for posterity.
Favorite Vacation Spots
00:11:32
Speaker
Jeff, take them away. What is your favorite or ideal us vacation spot? Uh,
00:11:44
Speaker
I would have to say we've been down to Florida quite a few times just for spring break. So that would probably be my number one. Just nice to get out of the cold weather and go down there for a week and hang out and hang by the beach. And yeah. A lot of beach in Florida. Twins game. Sorry. Correct. Correct. Correct. Correct. Correct.
00:12:12
Speaker
Zach, I need to need need you to be a little more specific about Florida, though. Which region, which area? Sure. Which? Which? Which beach? Which body of water, you know? Sanibel Island, specifically, is... Whoa. Awesome. I don't know it. Uh, yeah. Correct, correct, correct. So would that be? Correct, correct, correct. Would that be the Atlantic Ocean?
00:12:41
Speaker
That would be the Gulf side. Really? There's an island in the Gulf side. See, I don't know anything. So you can, uh, very easily watch spring tree baseball. Shelling. A lot of shelling going on there. Well, pre hurricane, there was a lot of shelling. I don't know if that's still a thing out there or not, but Wow. Sanibel is gorgeous. Yeah.
00:13:07
Speaker
Thanks, Zach. Next question. ah what's ah What's your litmus test TV show? Your show that lets you, an appreciation of this show lets you know someone is on your wavelength.
00:13:25
Speaker
a You know, early in my career, I'd watch a lot of sports. So I mean, I could get along with people with sports, but I, mean TV show recently that I've been watching is triple D diners drive-ins and dives and um Really a big fan of guy. I can't pronounce his last name Fieri yeah yeah but what you said yeah and Yeah, it just makes me hungry every time I watch the show and It's good to have on in the background
00:14:06
Speaker
and One quick question here, Zach. Do you know where his youngest son has committed to go to college? Where Hunter is going to college? Yeah. and He just announced it. Oh, no. Oh, that's his older son as Hunter, right?
00:14:25
Speaker
i don't I don't know. I just know his yeah youngest son ah has i i do not committed to SDSU. South Dakota? No. San Diego State University. San Diego. Oh, a whale's vagina. Yeah. Correct. Correct. Correct. Correct. Correct. Correct.
00:14:52
Speaker
All right, Jeff, you got an X. Two for two so far, Zach. The largest animal you could knock out with one punch. I mean, it'd have to be it like a Liger. Would Liger be the correct answer? Correct, correct, correct. Correct, correct, correct. Because it's bred for its skills and magic. I don't know how you're going to knock it out, Zach. You're just a human male.
00:15:24
Speaker
You know, no offense, but I couldn't knock out a lot. Well, Jeff gave you the the point already. So congratulations barely, barely out of his mouth. And I was like, that's, that's a point. yeahp Zach, no one likes this question. And it's, it's my question. So it's up to you here, but let's hear if, uh, do you have a guilty pleasure band or performer? that Yeah, I would have to say, uh,
00:15:53
Speaker
in sync or Specifically Justin Timberlake would be my guilty pleasure Great choice. Yes great choice. I used to be guilty about it, but Now I'm all in baby windows down Like so when you when when you're playing a Justin Timberlake song what's what's your posture but I mean, usually just one hand on the wheel, not two. You know, we're not doing 10 and two. We're going straight over the top. I might even lean the seat back a little bit. Like what Francine said, roll down all the windows and let everybody in Delano, Minnesota know that I'm bringing sexy back. Let them Delano. But so does that make it guilty?
00:16:45
Speaker
Oh, just right. If your windows are down and it's loud. No, God. No, God, please. No, no, no, no. So we've logged your answer, Zach, but that was wrong. OK. Sorry, you are. You have two points. Three three points. ah so What is what is this so a favorite random social media wormhole?
Ice Fishing Equipment Hunt
00:17:18
Speaker
ah Probably Facebook Marketplace, just finding anything and everything. Is there a specific thing that you're searching for on the old Facebook Marketplace? I mean, today... Do you have saved searches? ah um I do have some. Today I was looking for tip-ups for ice fishing. Yeah? um Just to see if anybody has some cool thing out there that I hadn't seen before, you know? And... Correct, correct, correct.
00:17:50
Speaker
I feel like that's ah an appropriate wormhole setup. you know You got saved searches in the Facebook marketplace. Yeah. So when you log into Facebook, that son of a bitch is showing you things you hadn't even thought about. Oh, right. Yeah. It's getting you. It's pulling you in deeper. Yup. Deeper into the ice fishing hole. Hopefully not. Danger.
00:18:16
Speaker
unless you bought something on Facebook marketplace that can protect you in the situation. That's fine. A floating suit. Yeah, yeah and I already got the floating suit. Yeah, we're good. Zach, last question.
Cultural References & Confessions
00:18:30
Speaker
What's the surprising movie you've never seen? um Oh, and since you're such an avid listener of the show, it cannot be a movie that's already been named by a previous guest. So it can't be Harry Potter then.
00:18:47
Speaker
It can't be Harry Potter and the prisoner of ask a man. Ask her, ask her, ask a, ask a, ask a friend, ask her France. Um, I would have to say Debbie does Dallas. I make a lot of references to it, but I've never actually seen it. Um, in order to qualify for a point here, Jeff and I both have to have seen. So Jeff,
00:19:16
Speaker
Not knowingly, but I feel like it probably was in our Milwaukee dorm. There was a lot of inappropriate stuff there. It was not. I was there. Sorry, Zach. Your answer is. No, God. No, God, please, no, no, no, no.
00:19:47
Speaker
Congratulations, you got four out of five points on five questions. Thank you for playing. Thank you. Five questions.
00:19:59
Speaker
Five questions.
Fantasy Football Matchups & Analyses
00:20:03
Speaker
Now, Zach, we've made it to the point of the show called One Thing, where Jeff and I have prepared one thing to say about each of the matchups ah from the Fantasy Week. We've kept these hidden from you, but we'd love for you to chime in whenever, wherever we're meant to be together. ah That's a little Shakira for you. I'm not ashamed of that either.
00:20:29
Speaker
Also, Zach, you might have noticed the divisional breakdowns in our and our league this year. while jeff and i did ah As you know, ah Jeff and I did a divisional draft early in this season, and we are seeing who drafted the best team. Jeff, do I have this right? That going into this week, we were 18 and 18, split right down the middle. that's where That's where we had it as of last week. so Wow. Yup. It's coming right down to the wire here because there's only one week left. and We still don't know what the, what's on the line, but if you win, I defer to you all next season. That's, that's how I see it. Sounds fair. But we're going to start by getting the non-divisional matchups out of the way, but beginning with, of course, the reason you're here, Zach,
00:21:26
Speaker
You faced off against the best, worst team. That was my moment of silence. Jeff, what do you think about the matchup between me and Zach this week? All right, so I've got a theme for all of mine this week, but first pick overall, ranked 309th overall on the season, RB64, and done. You were once swell, Christian McCaffrey.
00:21:51
Speaker
Yes.
00:21:54
Speaker
I ah do have Christian McCaffrey and I regret it every day of my life. He came back for like one game hu and then I was watching, was it Monday night or was it Sunday night football this week that he re-injured himself? How did it be Sunday? Cause I came back on Sunday. It was Sunday because I tried to drop them or Sunday night and get rid of them. but couldn't. So yeah, that's really paid off for me well. And you have Saquon, which has probably paid off for you quite well. Quite, quite well. um i am I am coasting through the season, as everybody here knows. so Josh Allen this week could and should have sat down in the firth in the fourth quarter, sat out, called it a day.
00:22:53
Speaker
He just kept going and scoring more points against me. It's like he and Joe Mixon are, are united against my fantasy football team. I believe he did sit out actually. and After his touchdown, Mitchell Trubitsky. Yeah. After he threw the touchdown yeah to the guy and then get the lateral and technically it's a touchdown thrown to himself. I didn't know any of that. That was amazing. Wasn't it? It was. Yeah.
00:23:24
Speaker
Doesn't matter. I should have stuck with, uh, Kyle Amari and stopped being a Homer. Um, but if I had played Kyler, he would have had a terrible fantasy day. I just know it in my heart because it would have revealed me as a traitor. Um, but you guys don't, you're you being a Homer cause you played Cooper Rush.
00:23:46
Speaker
Because I didn't play the quarterback going against my home team. Andy Ramsey, born and raised in Texas. I should have realized what you were doing there. Of course, I've been in Texas my whole life. I forget sometimes.
00:24:07
Speaker
no Well, ah good job, Zach. You won. Proud of you. yeah Thank you. Next up, we have no game scheduled versus the 501st. Uh, Bucky Ervin, not drafted, picked up by DXFugs8 on 9-11 for $0, dropped on 9-12, added by Steelhouse for $0 on 9-15, dropped on 10-27 and added by no game scheduled on 10-30 for $15 is RB15. Seriously? Yep.
00:24:45
Speaker
Yeah, that's really frustrating because um I think he's been outperforming my keeper. Is that correct? thanks so I so. I'll look it up. ah Regarding this matchup, no game schedule versus 501st. Your keeper is RB27. Yeah, exactly. Thank you. As the median goes, so does Tim's record. Tim has never one head to head and lost to the median, or vice versa. Jarrett, on the other hand, has done it five times, but not this week.
Missed Opportunities & Impactful Decisions
00:25:25
Speaker
Kind of crazy. Tim's record is just double what it would be. Because of the median score. Yes, because of the median score. Interesting. Next up. Yeah, what comes next, Andy?
00:25:43
Speaker
Well, before we get into that, it hurts when I pee. Also, it's time to recap. It hurts when I pee versus what's my AJ again. And this was a divisional showdown.
00:25:58
Speaker
All right, Tajay Spears, sixth throne pick of no game scheduled, traded to AJ on 10.16, cut on, or 10.6, cut on 10.16, added by Hertz1IP on 10.24 for $0, cut on 10.30, added by P on 11.6 for $3, dropped on 11.23, and added by P today for $10, is the RB61.
00:26:28
Speaker
I love this history of this deep dive. Excuse me. Um, good to know that it started with the trade between, you know, these teams. Wow. And no game anyway. Uh, this one hurts.
00:26:49
Speaker
This for, for Kamen here for Ray, it's his first orange number on the grid. Meaning he would have beaten Brian's optimized lineup. He would be 13 and 13 and likely a lock for the postseason. But alas,
00:27:11
Speaker
he let Jerry Judy, ride the bench for his revenge game. Do you guys put a lot of stock in a revenge games in terms of fantasy football? I would. Yes. Jeff, as you can, as you can see that Jerry Judy. Exactly.
00:27:36
Speaker
Yeah, it's rough. I'm This is one of those things that I should write down to tell myself in future seasons because my season is over. Spoiler alert. Uh, but there it is. A lot of points on the bench. Kamen also got a pink number on the tracking of the highest scoring player each week because which Jerry Judy was in week 14.
00:28:02
Speaker
That was a divisional matchup and with the victory to what's my AJ again, that gives a point to expect to lose. 1918. Good root beer. Next up we have another divisional matchup. It's Steelhouse versus DX Fugs 8.
00:28:23
Speaker
Kit Zach Charbonnet, he was 11th round pick of the Steelhouse dropped on 11-6, added by DX Fuggsake for $0 on 11-24 is the RB 33 on the season.
00:28:37
Speaker
45% of fantasy managers aren't aware that Deontay Johnson has been suspended for the next game. Kurt has some work to do to field a full team in week 14. It's rough over there.
00:28:53
Speaker
It's like, bye, bye, bye. And then again, bye, bye. you know They say it like five times. That's Kurt's lineup. Yeah. Zach knows what I'm talking about. I sure do. Zach taught me that dance.
00:29:06
Speaker
but but
00:29:09
Speaker
In that head to head, that's a point for the urban achievers. Thank you, Steelhouse, number one team. We're but we're up to 1919. Next, another.
00:29:24
Speaker
divisional matchup. It's the NBA versus 20 more points than steel house, nay, chromium, pure tungsten house, metal house.
00:29:37
Speaker
Uh, Jalen Warren seventh round pick traded to the yellow jackets on nine 24 dropped on nine 28 added by the best worst on 10 13 for zero dropped on 10 16 added by thunk on 10 27 for zero drop by thunk on 11 two added by thunk on 11 six for zero is the RB 39.
00:30:02
Speaker
How do you drop a guy on 11-2 and Adam on 11-6? Isn't that the full waiver? Like, did he just immediately submit a claim? What's that? Well, Ekem's on a three-game head-to-head win streak, and now it's just about seeding. He's currently projected, however, to get schooled by the best, worst team, a.k.a. Misters, irrelevant.
00:30:33
Speaker
The result of this divisional showdown is a point for expect to lose. It's now 2019, you, Jeffrey. Uh, Andy, the next matchup is my mama wipes his ass versus pure shit house, nay frontier, something or other, nay another name.
00:30:51
Speaker
and nay another name. Roshan Johnson, undrafted, added on 10-9 by the best worst for $5. Dropped on 10-13, added by mymama on 12-4 is the RB48.
00:31:07
Speaker
Thank you, Jeffrey. Oh, this is a divisional matchup. Marnie. All right. Matt was the lowest scoring winner, though he would have beaten six teams in the league. Sometimes it just works out like that. Right, Funk?
00:31:34
Speaker
Point here was urban achievers. So now we're at, I lost count. 2020. Dip tide back up. All right. Last matchup is, it's you Jeff, the Yellow Jackets or yellow jackets yeah versus Oh Highmark. What do you have to say for yourself, Jeffrey? Rico Dottle, 10th round draft pick of the AJ, traded to the Yellow Jackets on 9.24, is the RB 28 on the season. ah This just goes to show you, um
00:32:09
Speaker
drafting running backs sucks. It's ah impossible to tell, you know, like we all, everyone in the whole world assumed the Christian McCaffrey was going to be the best fantasy football player on the planet this year. And we all drafted and then like, uh, what the next day after our draft, the 49ers decided to let everyone know that he had been hurt all year. Yep. Thanks for bringing that up again.
00:32:38
Speaker
your Hey, no problem, Zach. We're just here to to make a creative historical round. I do have a question about Rico. Do you guys remember the Rico Suave song? Oh, yeah. but You should play that next time you bring him out. Jeff, I think we have our outro music. Yeah, Rico Suave.
00:33:02
Speaker
Zach, speaking of this matchup between Yellow Jackets and Ohio Mark, ah guess how many free agent tight ends scored more fantasy points than Will Disley this week? ah According to the yeah my calculations here, it looks like all of them. That's right, Zach. 41.
00:33:25
Speaker
Yes, uh, Nick needed more help though, even with his optimal lineup plus Schultz, uh, he'd be six points shy. So the result of this is a point for expect to lose Jeff at the end of week 13, that that's making it sound like it's a, a one point One point advantage for expect to lose to us. That's right. Going into the final week here, I think. Yeah, we can't count playoffs. Final week coming up. You guys, hey, a little Lebowski Urban Achievers, you know, even if you're out of the playoffs, you got to fight here. Got to make me look good. Oh, there's a lot on the line because I'm not looking good.
00:34:12
Speaker
Zach. Um, just a quick, quick, uh, Tim Rawls update, Zach. Yeah. Uh, we're at a halftime, right? Have we, uh, have we doubled them up yet? Uh, we are about to it's 59 to 32 right now.
00:34:29
Speaker
I think we've found it. I think we found it. Thanks, Zach. That's been your Tim Rawls update.
League Awards & Humorous Insights
00:34:41
Speaker
Next, we got a couple of awards tracking updates here, and then we'll look at the playoff picture. Award number one, highest scoring loser. We have a change, changing of the guard, Jeffrey.
00:34:57
Speaker
um Me, Andy, i'm Andy in week eight is no longer the runner up. Kegger in week five is the new runner up.
00:35:10
Speaker
And now thunker from week 13 has the lead. Just try and score more points in a losing effort. We dare you. Did he, uh, did he get that median point at least? He sure did. Hey, you know how I know that hashtag thunk only guys follow along with all the, uh, breaking news from interview from your favorite team name and mine, 20 more points than steel house. Uh, yeah, I don't, I don't think that's going to be beat high scoring. No way, no way. The second highest is this five and a half points away. It's over.
00:36:01
Speaker
um You just watched Tenenba, it's gonna make some wholesale changes here. Bingo bango bongo. Next up we have a worst manager update. Kurt has left the most points on the bench still. It's hard for anyone to catch it. But Andy, yours truly, has given up the most winnable games.
00:36:26
Speaker
Uh, special mention here goes to Funker, who for the first time all season could have beaten his opponent's optimal lineup if he had only played his own. Do you think, uh, do you think he's going for that, that weekly prize? I ah highest scoring loser might've been worth it more to him than he knew. Cause he knew he had the median point locked up. He did.
00:36:56
Speaker
I'll be curious to see in the next segment if he's clinched a playoff spot and if that extra $10 is worth it. Welcome to the next segment, where we update the playoff picture.
00:37:12
Speaker
ah star We've got some breaking news coming out of... You like that fancy league.
00:37:28
Speaker
goes for another 30 seconds. We got to cut that shit. We do. other Otherwise we'll be over time. We'll hit our Spotify limit. bit Yeah. Well, position number one has, as has been for the whole season, Tom. Tom's in first place. He's going to the playoffs. We told you that last week, but we in, in position two, we have a clinch.
00:37:53
Speaker
Congratulations Thawne. It paid off. You got an extra $10. Congratulations, you're in the playoffs. I totally forgot about that sound effect. You debuted it last week and I love it. hey um Hey, Zach. Yeah. I got something I'd like to tell you too. Congratulations, you're in the playoffs. Yeah, baby. from From Andy to Anders.
00:38:20
Speaker
You got it. Congratulations, Zach. You know, you've been in kind of the doldrums of the fantasy league. And I thought for years, you know, I thought, how is this possible? This kid, he watches football. He knows the game. It wasn't until this season that I saw how, how, how terribly a season ago, wasn't this until this season when he had the number one pick overall.
00:38:45
Speaker
go completely sideways on him and he made the fucking playoffs and you and I ah are nowhere near it.
Playoff Success & Overcoming Challenges
00:38:55
Speaker
Some of us nearer than others. Zach, what do you have to say for yourself? um I still have no running game. Therefore, I doubt I'll make a splash in the playoffs, but you never know. It's all in who you play. Splash in the pan's worth two in the hand, as I always like to say.
00:39:14
Speaker
Yeah. You've got, you've got a 500 record locked in no matter what. And, uh, you know, this week, what your projections look like you're going to beat the median. So you're probably going to be over 500 no matter what. I mean.
00:39:31
Speaker
Yep. Your, your, your goal here is to shift into that second position. Isn't it Zach? So just win both. Okay. That's my advice to you. Got it. Head to head and the media. Uh, in fourth place is Matt's pure shit house. He's, he's slid in. Um, despite falling, up dug it arrow he dug it out.
00:39:55
Speaker
but i That's what we do for a shit house, right? Yup. Matt, you got to hold on this week. It's a tight one. But more on that later. Jeff, what's it looking like on your side? um Well, we have Ecom clinched last week, right? That's right. And um in second place, we have Brian.
00:40:24
Speaker
Congratulations, you're in the playoffs. In third place, we have Jared. Congratulations, you're in the playoffs. And then in fourth place, we have Tim. Congratulations, you're in the playoffs. So our our whole division's locked in, Andy. Wow. That's great. But as you alluded to recently, that means you and I aren't in the playoffs, Jeffrey.
00:40:57
Speaker
for the first time ever. Yeah. Hey, that's great. Yeah, it's great. Hey, at least you're below 500 if that's any consolation. Yeah. I got i have to i have to work on, I have to chip away. I got to find some moves that I can do this week to get that median point.
00:41:17
Speaker
And then I have to hope that Zach benches some people to keep him healthy. And um then then I can maybe pull off the 500 record. There's always a chance. Yeah. Hey, um for the final playoff position, I added some notes here, Jeff, if we want to talk about it. I know someone went to a deep dive on the Discord.
00:41:44
Speaker
But the the long and the short of it for Matt is that he's gotta beat Kurt. ah That's step one. I wish I could say that Kurt was listening to this show, but that would be a lie. Send your line up, Kurt. Don't make it so easy for the new guy. Send your line up. One more time.
00:42:05
Speaker
It's brutal over there for fucks sake. They made a bunch of, didn't he make moves today?
00:42:13
Speaker
only if it was in the last couple hours. He has four buys in his starting lineup. I mean, should we just announce Matt as a playoff lock here or or do we leave something for next week? I should probably leave something for next week. I i was i don't know.
00:42:31
Speaker
i I had, I only had what, 40 something dollars left this, you know, this weekend. Yeah. And so I was trying to set somebody up. You know, I went, I went, I went with my full, my full like amount.
00:42:50
Speaker
And I was hoping that somebody who was below me in the standings, but had more money than me would also just do $47 so they could then have the, uh, the highest waiver claim.
00:43:07
Speaker
That would have been good to know Jeff, but that's how you know that there's no collusion here at you like that. Yeah. Uh, You know, a couple scenarios here, but I see three teams in the hunt at 11 15. We'll see who emerges. Comes out on top. Yeah. I mean, there's, there's there's not a lot of chance there for, uh, I mean, Kurt, Kurt, Kurt, you got to listen 45 minutes in. Uh, Oh shit. Really? Yeah. Okay.
00:43:43
Speaker
Okay, I promised Zach this would be a shorter show. Kurt, you gotta listen. Matt, good luck. ah Nick, good luck. And Kamen, good luck. Okay, any final thoughts but on today's show? Jeffrey. um just Just one more time for Zach. Congratulations, you're in the playoffs. Thank you very much.
00:44:09
Speaker
Zach, you got any final thoughts? I don't think it would be as easy as Thunker said to punch a giraffe. I think, you know, Buying the lettuce and just having the giraffe come over. I mean, I think that's BS. Whoa. Think they're too smart for it or what? Yeah.
00:44:39
Speaker
Okay, and and all the children the children would fight you off too They would defend the giraffe. Yes, I think you're right Kids are the future lest we forget Thanks, Zach we We count those as shot fire shots fired and an extra point. So you are now at five full points for five questions That's a perfect score
00:45:08
Speaker
Tune in next week when with our special guest, Ekam Yor. And we're going to reveal a special three-week challenge for everyone in the consolation bracket to determine next year's draft pick order and the Skolster winner. Yeah, we still got to figure that out, but I wrote that today and I stand by it, Jeffrey. You with me?
00:45:36
Speaker
Oh yeah, you're, you're, you're you're dodging the, uh, the record situation. I'm really trying to change the rules to benefit myself. Uh, I mean, as always, I mean, like, I think we should probably look at records in general. Um, you're one in six in your division. I'm two and five. My mama wipes his ass is two and five. Um, so I think you have,
00:46:05
