00:01:31
Speaker
Lastly, joining us from Minnesota, it's Jarrett. Jarrett, Jarrett, Jarrett, I didn't write a script here for you.
00:01:44
Speaker
but I don't need a script. If I'm in an airplane hangar and Jeff's in a hole in the sky, how would you how do you explain your abode? i The void. Joining us from the void, it's Jay Lundy.
00:02:07
Speaker
Uh, insert clapping. Oh yes, yes. Sorry. Yeah, my bad. That's okay. That's okay. Well, thank you. Show us some respect. You ingrates. Jared, do you feel respected? I do. I love when dead people clap for me. You don't know. I mean, you know,
00:02:30
Speaker
I'm assuming that this is probably some kind of open source applause from Johnny Carson. So those feel people are probably dead, right? They're probably dead. Yeah. Uh, a canceled comedian who I used to enjoy said anyone I'm not, anyone I'm not looking at could be dead. And I still use that line. it Sounds that sounds ah very David. hume David Exactly. David Hume. Oh, Hume. Thank you. It was actually Louie, but Nick knew that. What up, Nick? Jared, welcome to the show. As you know, because you listen to the show every week. Of course.
00:03:18
Speaker
This is a shorter format. We're gonna keep it moving, jump in wherever you want, okay? But before we get to you, personally, we got some Q's and C's to cover, don't we, Jeffrey? We do. Where are we starting? um Matt Maxa is not quite sure what a super stack is, Andy? Jared, do you know what a super stack is?
00:03:41
Speaker
a That's an order from Burger King, right? Correct. Like you get the super stack. Correct. Is it Burger King or is it, uh, is that the one that does like bacon on the burger and no bun? Bacon on the burger, no bun. Like i mean bacon is the, bacon is the, bur is the bun.
00:04:03
Speaker
all That's not Burger King. I don't know. I don't. I can see that happen though. You just stack up like layers of bacon instead of bread. i mean I don't need any of that bread. Somebody does that. someone Someone did that. They tried that. How do you eat it? By holding the bacon. I don't okay i was a vegetarian at the time. That's why I didn't try it. But Jeff, how does what's a super stack as it pertains to fantasy football, Jeff?
00:04:30
Speaker
Okay. The stack would be when you have a quarterback and a wide receiver or a quarterback, you know, quarterback and a skill player. Superstack would be a quarterback and two skill players. So you got to have a quarterback wide receiver running back or quarterback wide receiver tight end, you know, something like that. Same team, same team. There you go, Matt. Superstack. So what would we advise for Matt in terms of trades? Uh, for Matt Maxa. Yeah.
00:04:59
Speaker
I mean, for him in terms of trades, he could probably just, uh, uh, try to try to talk us into trading draft picks for next year. Um, no, he's got, he's got burrow. So he's got to get, he's got to get your March chase or, uh, or t T Higgins. Okay. There you go, Matt. Uh, make that tomorrow chase offer today.
00:05:28
Speaker
He hasn't had any big games lately, so it'll probably be an easy get. Yeah, right. Bye, Lo. Bye, Lo.
Trading Strategies and Call-In Segment
00:05:36
Speaker
Speaking of trades, we have we have a trader among us. Don't we, Jarrett? Yes. I'm trading a very expensive wide receiver for someone that Matt picked up off of Waver a few days ago.
00:05:54
Speaker
Do you regret not how much could you have gotten esteem for if you had outbid Matt? ah Well, I have no money So I could not have gotten him if anyone else had bid a dollar Okay, and how much did you spend on Joanne Jennings? Boy probably way too much. Hmm because I have no money. Yeah, I jerryy Here's, here's, here's an idea for you. You could go out, you could pick up Tanner Hudson, tight end for the bangles. Okay. Trade him to Matt.
00:06:34
Speaker
for the running back. There we go. Matt would have the stack. Then, if Matt trades for a chase, ah or Chase Brown, I didn't realize that they had two chases on the team, T Higgins, or Mike Kasicki, he can create his own super stack. He can just play all the Bengals. I mean, that would be like a super, super, super, super stack. You could, you could, can you play Yeah, you can play the defense. You can play the entire Bengals offense and then the defense, right? Yeah. I mean, I don't see why. I don't see why not. Change your team into the Bengals.
00:07:20
Speaker
what would you have to What would you have to sort in the draft to get only Bengals to show up? Can you sort by team? I'm sure. Yeah. If you just type sin C I N you're going to probably only get bangles. Um, I like sorting alphabetically, of course. Right. If I'm not sorting by, um, injury, you know, availability. Yes. Same. Hey, uh, so thanks for walking us through your process there, Jared. Uh, just so everybody knows our trade deadline is 10 days from now, Saturday, the 23rd of November.
00:07:59
Speaker
Jeff, do we have any callers so far? Uh, yeah, we do have one caller, Andy. I just have one thing to say leading up to this weekend. Hey, Tom, is Gina Smith the best $8 you've ever spent?
00:08:20
Speaker
Thank you, Brian. I wonder if it was such a good spend that he had to do it twice. Right. i would do I wonder if the the high was the same both times.
00:08:38
Speaker
you know normally but He's picked him up three times though. He picked him up for $5. Right. and And to make sure that it was still that same kind of rush, he went $8 the second time.
00:08:49
Speaker
Right. That was maybe a little bit too much. Got rid of them within 12 hours or within 24 hours. And then a week later, he was like, hey I need another taste. For those of you keeping track at home, we are discussing the first place ah team in our league.
00:09:10
Speaker
That's the first place team in our league is getting away with this shit. More on that later. Thank you caller. Uh, thank you, Tom. I hope you're on the show next week to answer for your sense.
Game Recaps and Quirky Guest Questions
00:09:25
Speaker
Next segment is the meal or minute. Jared, did you watch this game? Uh, yeah, I did.
00:09:36
Speaker
great I had to watch it after I had to record it, but I did watch it. Did you know the score when you started watching it? I know I can always avoid spoilers, thankfully. Wow. And that's not that it would have. Yeah, it's not not easy. You just got to hide in your basement while you're doing the other thing you got to do. And then you turn your phone off.
00:09:59
Speaker
I did get random updates from my dad and brother who had text randomly like, Oh no, bullshit and that kind of thing. Right. But you didn't know what I was pretending to exactly. Is this, no, it's just the, it could have been the football game. It could have been the weather. It could have been totally. Yeah. Except that's really that group text during a Vikings game is really the only reason we use that group text. So.
00:10:26
Speaker
You never know, someone could have been raking leaves. It's a time of year. ah ter Is this the game where where at the ah at the end there was like an amazing um interception celebration? Yes, and that was the highlight of the game.
00:10:49
Speaker
the The rest of it was pretty boring. There were multiple picks and no touchdowns for the Vikings. But the celebration was awesome.
00:11:00
Speaker
Um, was it, was it, did they bring that, uh, Australian breakdancer on the field to do it or, and I mean, it might as well have been, it was spot on exactly. I mean, the choreography was just, look he is a world, he is a professional athlete. So you have to be a professional athlete to do those. And she is an Olympic athlete. there you go So, yeah.
00:11:26
Speaker
Uh, well, Jeff, you got eight seconds. Anything else you remember from this game? Uh, Sam Darnold sucks.
00:11:36
Speaker
And that's been your, the owner minute. Next up is good to remember why we drafted a quarterback. It's good to be reminded. Hey, you know, we're getting pretty far. you so The seven and two team, uh, that wins games without touchdowns.
00:11:56
Speaker
Who needs them? three Three interceptions, four field goals on our second kicker. You know, 20 years ago it was revolutionary to focus on the three pointer in basketball. Maybe, you know, why waste all that time getting that extra 30 yards when you can just get close, get some points, get it back, get close, get some points.
00:12:22
Speaker
You know, do it again. Yeah. no i friends Bring back flawed Rivas, please. What a name. Hey, Jared. The reason we brought you here, the reason everyone who isn't even in this league is listening. Uh, the fives of fives of people that listen to this. So that's right.
00:12:51
Speaker
That's right. Welcome to five questions where we have six questions prepared for you. Of course, ah feel free to throw one out at any time. I know you've been listening to the show week in, week out. You've heard these questions a number of times. You're probably prepared with your answers and it's just going to be bing, bam, boom, right? sure That's what people always say about me. Super prepared. church What is your favorite or ideal USA vacation spot? Uh,
00:13:22
Speaker
Usually I go to Florida, Cocoa Beach, um because it's ah my my parents have a condo there. So not only is it free, but also it's very nice there. You just got to get there, right? You just got to get there. Thanks, Jared. Cocoa Beach, I'm with Cocoa, was probably their favorite time in Conan O'Brien's career.
00:13:52
Speaker
what Are there any bands or perform or musical performers that you would call a guilty pleasure? you know Such that guilty pleasure if your students heard you listening to this band, you'd roll the windows up. you know So most of the time, I do stick with 90s grunge and and classic rock, but I do like me some Britney Spears boom every now and then. yeah like Uh, yeah. and Toxic. Toxic is the best one. That's the best one. So, uh, I will, if that will come on my playlist every now and then, and I never skip it because never that, that, that slaps. it' sla That song. So laps. Jeff slaps. Definitely. Definitely. Um, yeah.
00:14:48
Speaker
The, those, uh, Britney Spears, uh, posters, the free ones we got from Cooper's that we plastered all over your basement. and Yes, that too. The best, um, favorite random social media wormhole. Ooh. Okay. So, uh, I will get onto Reddit and my favorite wormhole is leopards ate my face.
00:15:15
Speaker
Uh, because like, yeah, cause it's not like a literal leopards eating face. It's, I didn't think the leopards would eat my face. So it's all these people that like unexpectedly did something stupid. And then it came back to bite him in the ass. It is awesome. I will. I am down that Reddit for hours on end, unfortunately.
00:15:38
Speaker
I like that a lot. Thank you, Jared. I might actually. That could, that could like kind of full circle with something we were talking about earlier. You could Google LM that social media wormhole so you could get, you know, a quick synopsis and a podcast on all these situations. Leopards ate my face. I found it 1.1 million members.
00:16:01
Speaker
Yes. Well, and he's, well, and he's looking that up. jar um You will not hate it. It's a good time. Thank you. What is the largest animal you could knock out with one punch?
Media Preferences and Humorous Confessions
00:16:16
Speaker
The largest animal I can knock at currently in my current 42 year old self. You could talk out, you could take this however you want or like me and my prime or which, which one are we talking about? Come on, come on. You're in your right now. Yeah. No, no, no. 42 is not prime lung twist, but maybe not knocking out prime, but I'm sure it's fantasy football podcast prime. I think right now,
00:16:46
Speaker
given a free swing, I could probably knock out.
00:16:52
Speaker
You probably knock out like a deer, like a like a not ah not like a buck, but like a deer. I could do that. So so you're saying like, like ah no rack. Right. Yes, no rack. I could like probably handle. You have to hit them right on the button. But I think I could probably manage that. I break my hand. Uh huh.
00:17:16
Speaker
Okay. So, so like then prime, prime, what, like, what's the difference? and prime Prime is like an eight point buck. Yeah, I could probably, yeah. Well, I mean, they're pretty much built to not get knocked unconscious because they, you know, hit each other all the time. Well, that's what I'm saying. I'm saying like, this is, this is the level up. We're just trying to differentiate prime.
00:17:39
Speaker
If I go by the amount of confidence I had at the time, yes, I'd go like eight point buck. I would think that my, uh, confident, uh, late teenager self would definitely feel that he could knock out an eight point buck. I don't think that would actually happen, but I think that he would be convinced that he could do that. Yeah. Uh, if he had to, he could have, I know it. Hey Jared, what's, um, what's your litmus test television show?
00:18:10
Speaker
Uh, if you like the good place, I'm probably going to like you. That's good. We haven't heard that one yet. No, we haven't. Um, Andy, have you watched that one on Instagram reels or did you watch it, uh, in real time? Me? Yeah. I've never seen this show. Good place. Correct.
00:18:34
Speaker
You need to immediately get off this podcast and go watch the good place you have to leave right now It's like by it's it's what like an eight eight-year-old show or is it older than that now? hey year old Yeah ah Something like that makes six seven. I don't know who remember that here is it three seasons or two so how many seasons was it? I think it's just three seasons. Yeah, it's amazing So the fact that you haven't seen it yet is like i was in i was envy you I was in Duluth seeing like all my my family like all got together in Duluth and um the Airbnb that they they had rent we had rented had, for whatever reason, whatever streaming service they had, that was one of the shows and um my my parents and my my my brother and his wife like were really into it and they were getting ready for the third season coming out so they ripped through all of season one.
00:19:30
Speaker
that 48 hours that we were together. Yep. I don't even know. I mean, it was like, it's like they spent eight of it on TV. Yeah. Yeah. No, no. I mean, like we did stuff all day long and then like until like two in the morning, they were like good place in it. Um, and I, and I caught like a third of it, but what I saw, I was like, when I got back home, I had to, I had to watch it. It's, it's good.
00:19:57
Speaker
It is a, uh, it is a philosophical sitcom and they do stuff that's wild, like site legitimate professors in a lecture style. It's nothing I would ever thought would be put on TV. My, my grandma's name was Phyllis. So I'm definitely Jeff. We got one more question. What's the surprising movie you've never seen?
00:20:26
Speaker
And it can't be a movie that's been named on a previous episode of the season's show. Yeah, but if you say if you say if you say one, Will. OK, I've never seen pulp fiction in its entirety. Wow. and Every time that I have ever watched that movie has been started at like 2 a.m., so I'll get through a chunk of it and then fall asleep. Why have I heard this before? Did we ask this question before?
00:20:54
Speaker
I have no idea, but thats that that's I've never seen it in its entirety. I'm having Deja freaking voo here, man. It is a and it's kind of a long movie. you know I've seen chunks of it. I've i've caught pieces of it at like you know like when I'm in a hotel or something and it's on. I'll catch like the middle of it, but I've never seen it from beginning to end.
00:21:17
Speaker
Let me tell you, the best way to watch that movie is you've got to find the communal space in the back of a church. You need you know at least a five foot tall speakers on either side of a projector or screen. And um that's probably the best way to watch that one. I ah feel like we watched Orgasmo that way. Yeah, definitely did that one.
00:21:48
Speaker
Yeah. And someone, and someone who was there wrote a letter to the church because they were so troubled that we watched that movie. One of the, one of our teenager friends. Oh, it had to be, it had to be, it had to be Christie. It had to be one of the Schrader models.
00:22:08
Speaker
Oh, that's hilarious. Because both of the Schrader girls were there, so it had to be one of them. That's right. yeah but Someone wrote an anonymous letter to the church to to get you guys in trouble. To get me in trouble, yeah to let them know that i I was letting people watch movies like that.
00:22:27
Speaker
and sorry Either they like didn't send the letter right away or like the pastor didn't do anything about the letter until after school was over. And then reaped you out? Well, then no one really gave a shit. You know, they're like, they're like, you're not going to keep watching movies all summer long, are you? And I was like, no, not really. We got other things to do. And they had other letters to work through, you know? it was We should have followed that one up with dogma.
00:22:59
Speaker
That's a great one for a church. Hey, that's been five questions. Great job, Jared. Sweet. Thank you. You got through all six. Naturally. I did my five questions. Can't say you didn't. Andy, I have, uh, I have one more voicemail. Um, you guys gotta pay attention to this one.
00:23:23
Speaker
um
00:23:26
Speaker
It would be nicer if you just answered my question. It would be nicer if you just answered my question. I think we need an actual question to answer. Ezra, what question? What does question mean?
00:23:45
Speaker
oh
00:23:49
Speaker
Thank you. Ezra, you've come to the right place. Fudden means when you go to Fodruckers.
00:24:01
Speaker
uh, compulsively yeah and just build a sandwich to the moon. You're fine. I always like to get this, the, the chocolate shake at flood records. You know, you get the, you get the ah malt cup with it, you know, the glass cup and then the metal cup. I felt like I, I felt like I was like robbing the place. like yeah Like, Oh my gosh, they gave me the metal cup too. That even charged me more for that. Did you take the metal cup home?
00:24:31
Speaker
Cause I probably probably, yeah. Yeah. That's right. My five year old pocket. Of course. You can definitely fit one of those things. Yeah. Thanks Ezra. Thanks. Hopefully that answer works for you, Ezra. Yeah. If not, just call in next week and ask the same question and we'll figure out whatever comes to mind first.
Rivalry Week and League Standings
00:24:54
Speaker
Hey, uh, it was rivalry week this week, guys. Yeah. What does that mean? Jeff?
00:24:59
Speaker
um All seven head-to-head matchups were division versus division. Okay. Wow. That's exciting. yeah I and wonder if I set it up that way. But anyway, going in, yeah you reported that it was between our divisions. It was 10-9. Yeah. Expect to lose had the slightest of edges. Let's see how it played out. First up, we had ah chromium pure.
00:25:30
Speaker
Chromium Tungsten House ah versus DX Fugsache. Is that right, Jeff? That is correct. um So this weekend, I have a word for each each one of these matchups, right? So for this one, or a phrase, text message. I think someone needs to probably send Kurt a text message to fix this lineup. You mean on the day?
00:25:57
Speaker
or just You know, sometime this week, we probably would be, you know, good of us to text him. Kurt, you're at 9 and 11. It doesn't have to be this way. You started strong. Please set your lineup. Can someone please text him? Yep. There. How is that? Perfect. Can we text him from the number? Oh yeah, we can actually. That's a great idea. He'll have no clue who the hell is sending him a text message. Of course he will, because it will come from the number that Jared has memorized. Right, Jared?
00:26:27
Speaker
I definitely have it memorized. But do you want to say it or do you want... You are listening to the You Bike That podcast with your host Andy and Jeff. Wrong button.
00:26:39
Speaker
ah Hey, I got one thing to say about this matchup. It was the biggest blowout for the week. Kurt had 16 points on his bench, so it's not worth any scrutiny here, Kurt. Don't worry.
00:26:56
Speaker
the That's one point, Lebowski. One point, Lebowski. Thank you, Jeff. um that's That's my division, of course. ah Next up, Jarrett, it hurts when I pee. Also, it's time to recap the games between Kamen's team and Tim's team, the 501st. Jeff?
00:27:17
Speaker
Um, Kamen didn't win the head-to-head, but because, oh, Highmark lost head-to-head and medium score, Kamen was able to make up a point and because Tim swept both. He was able to stay ahead of Jarrett. Oh, that's you, Jarrett. It is. but like ne niolas We only have one Jarrett.
00:27:42
Speaker
and to yeah and was jeff It's yep he's he's just barely ahead of me. That was very confusing. Yeah. Sorry. Can you explain it again? Uh, okay. So Cameron didn't win the head to head.
00:27:57
Speaker
um But because, oh, Highmark lost head-to-head and median score, Kamen was able to make up a point. And because Tim swept both median score and head-to-head, he was able to stay ahead of Jarrett on the week. That's crazy. Yeah. ah yeah ah Speaking of Ray Finkel, he ate a Hertz donut when he couldn't win.
00:28:25
Speaker
despite 30 points from his QB. It was marked wrong in the outline, but that is point expect. Thank you, Jeff. yeah Hopefully you fixed the calculations at the bottom. I'm going to have to just check them as we go in, because I don't trust them anymore. Next up, we have walking wounded. That's you, Jarrett. It is me. Versus, oh, hi, Mark. Jarrett, do you get that reference?
00:28:52
Speaker
I do the room. Very good. Nick would be so pleased. Jeff, what do you have to say about this one? What's the keyword? Uh, the keyword on this one. It's funny. I already forgot that I'm doing keeper keywords. Uh, underperformance, Nick underperformed his projection by 12.06 and Jarrett by only 9.92, which means he won the week.
00:29:19
Speaker
gave her doing slightly less bad than Nick did. Jared, you had three touchdowns on your bench and some of ah some of us, I'm getting ahead of myself, son of a ah some of us can't get three touchdowns out out of our active lineup, you asshole. It's always good to have those. I can use those later, right? You just keep them on the bench and then I can just pull them up later. It's like you can bank them up. I'm going to bank them for next week.
00:29:48
Speaker
get a bank on bank them up. I like the way you bank kid. That game was expect point expect. That's right. I don't like how this is going. that's Next up we have frontier fantasies. That's Matt versus yellow jackets. That's you Jeff. Yeah. Um, my, my word for this one or my is a top scores.
00:30:15
Speaker
top score of the week and top score of the, of the season for Mr. Jamar Chase. That would be my team this week. Yeah. If only Matt's QB wasn't throwing all his TDs to Jeff's wide receiver, this might've gotten the other way. Hey, not my fault. He didn't build the stack. This one was another point for expect to lose to us. So that's,
00:30:44
Speaker
They're stacking them up. Uh, the next, the next matchup, Andy was a Kuznog taken on the NBA, um, project projects versus projections versus actual carry dandy. You wrote this. Yeah. You can had three players outperform their projections. Whereas Zach had only two, but Zach still got the W.
00:31:11
Speaker
Yeah, McCaffrey came back for Zach, but he didn't even need the points. Zach, we're happy to see this for you, man. You, uh, you earned it. That's a, that's a point Lebowski. Next up we have my mama wipes his ass versus guess who? Barkley's sack up and Ram.
00:31:35
Speaker
Jeff, what's the key word? Placement. With four weeks remaining, there are eight points that these teams can pick up. Still remaining. If you add eight points to Andy's team, he'd be in third right now. And if you and if you add eight points to Cody's team, he'd be in first in their division. Right. So if everyone above us... No, no, I'm just i'm just adding... I'm only adding eight points to your team.
00:32:04
Speaker
this is my
00:32:08
Speaker
That's the only way we can if you if you consider the the you know that half of the all teams are gonna score at least one point sir
00:32:18
Speaker
Are you going to see that work out for you? Yeah. My only wish is that we could implement pick trading mid season because I would love to trade Saquon Barkley for a first and a second rounder. Yeah. And I think I know the guy who would do it. All right. So we have median score. What if we also had like some sort of marginal rate score where each week we had a marginal rate. And if you beat that,
00:32:47
Speaker
You know, like this week would be a 4% discount. So if you if you scored better than 4% of your projections. I think that's great. We should also add in something like if you outscore the the weather temperature, then we can get another point. Yeah, but but we sp every one degrees out we spin a dial and decide the dial chooses which person. you know So like like if we land on Cayman and that motherfucker is 102. Right? Then you got to outscore 102 points. yeah
00:33:20
Speaker
Or, uh, you know, uh, Andy's home state of Texas. he Yeah. Y'all bet. Y'all best hope it just hits Fargo nonstop. This wind chill, right? We get to factor that in. Yeah, of course. What's wind chill? I was born and raised down here. 35 miles an hour today. My God. Don't have any leaves anymore. So that's cool.
00:33:49
Speaker
So yeah, my, my team won this head to head, but came like, I think we could do closest loss to the media in here. Uh, that was right on fricking nuts. Yeah. You know, you know how that works in is each week, one team has the closest. bus to And it's the same every time. that Right. Cause half of the teams are above that media.
00:34:17
Speaker
And half the teams are below that median. That's how medians work. Yeah, but it's not always one tenth of a point, right? It's almost always within half a point. Now, this week it was like eight tenths of a point. Seven tenths of a point, OK? Yeah, who beat you? Who beat me in what? Who had the score directly above yours?
00:34:47
Speaker
Um, steel house. No, cause no kind of score better than you. That's closer. Um, directly. No, I mean, I mean my score and Tom's score. Oh, you're right. Cause I thank you. Yeah. 99. So that's where the media is right there. So you're saying that it's always, it's not always 0.7. No, no, it's just always really close. Yeah.
00:35:15
Speaker
um I'm just going to look back and I'll report to you next week. Okay. Yeah. Well you, you got a little while. Uh, that was pointed about. Um, the final matchup of the week was what's my AJ again for steel house. Um, I guess I gave up on the fucking, uh, Oh, I've been listening for you, I think. Oh, okay. I didn't realize what you were doing and it was blank.
00:35:46
Speaker
I was just trying to help and now I screwed up your whole thing. Byes. Byes. There we go. Brian dealt with byes and couldn't have done anything with the team involved. Yeah, Brian should have gone to the, the, we were talking in the pre-show about the, um, what do we call it? The shared bench, the collective bench. Oh yes. Yes. Yes. you know The median bench. The median bench where The Island of Lost Toys. all yeah There's always a player to get for your bye week. That's the interesting thing. It's not his fault. He was going for the super stack with the Packers. So it's going to happen when you stack them up. The super pack stack? Yep. He's got love, read, and dobs. Whoa. um I assumed ah assumed when he ah left that voicemail that he had put in an offer on Geno Smith.
00:36:41
Speaker
Um, but I, I, all I saw, well, that's the most recent time you picked up Gino Smith. i got to look back through We got questions, Tom, and only you have the answers. Tune in next week. And speaking of Tom, he dodged another bullet here with a Amari Cooper goose egg. I don't know how he does it. Maybe this is the year. Tune into, uh, I mean, stay tuned for our playoff picture.
00:37:11
Speaker
But that that what's my aging again versus Steelhouse is another point, Lebowski. So Jeff, it looks like we're all knotted up. Yeah, we are. that's ah That's one heck of a rivalry week. Right? It really shook things up. Hey, we are dangerously close to 40 minutes. So let's look at the awards updates. Most points four.
00:37:38
Speaker
was last week EECOM this week. Thunk, EECOM. I hit my mark perfectly. No, I definitely missed. I definitely missed. I was a good half a beat behind there. I think I think i was supposed to take the other one, right?
00:38:02
Speaker
You know, it's it's worth not going back. It's probably true. Probably true. And the second award we'd like to provide an update for is closest loss. We already mentioned that Jarrett beating Nick by the narrowest margin this week. It won't win Nick any awards, but he does, he does get honorable mention for being tied for the most close losses with paper shuffling sound. Yours truly.
00:38:31
Speaker
So, Andy, are you factoring in those median closes too, then? No. No time, Jeff. These are just head-to-head closes. That's it. The playoff picture, Andy, for the Lebowski's. um Tom in first place um with his $8 quarterback or $21 quarterback, however you do the math. Thunk in second place. I don't know how much he paid for his quarterback.
00:38:56
Speaker
Zach's in third place, moving up two spots. Ohio Mark ah is in fourth place. um See that? That doesn't make any sense what I said earlier then. Don't worry about it. Yeah, I'm not.
00:39:10
Speaker
Um, expect to lose to us. Uh, first place there is Ecum. Second place is team. Third place is Jarrett and fourth place is what's my AJ again. And just, just so everyone knows my, the fourth place team and the expect to lose side of the bracket is six overall. So still the top eight teams are looking to make it into the playoffs.
00:39:34
Speaker
Correct. were Correct. Well, we're just, we just, we just want to call out the fact that if it was the true top eight teams, uh, it would actually be, uh, five from expect to lose to us and three from the Lebowski side of things.
00:39:55
Speaker
How's that Jeff? If, if one, one through eight are currently in the playoffs, are you just going to get to have four? Oh, aren't those positions like sixth overall? Isn't this, we're going over, we can talk about this. That's fine.
00:40:16
Speaker
Uh, any final thoughts you gentlemen today?
Closing Remarks
00:40:20
Speaker
Uh, Lebowski has two teams over 500. Um, even with all their median points they've been picking up. Um, and expect to lose to us has four.
00:40:34
Speaker
Okay, that's pretty good. That's pretty pretty day pretty good. jar There was a voicemail a couple of weeks ago about how expect to lose to us was a bad division. And I was purposely picking bad teams to make it easier for myself.
00:40:52
Speaker
Oh, was that Hey, here the other thing though, Andy, even though your team is currently 14th, you are only second to last in points. So You're not last last, you're just kind of last. I'm pretty sure I'm last last, Jared. Yeah, you have the fewest, I mean, you're 14, but you have 970.4, so really... And if you look at if you look at the power rankings, you're 10th. Right. Yeah, that's not bad. But enough about me.
00:41:24
Speaker
Thanks for your final thoughts, gentlemen. I hope you're able to turn your brains off for the rest of the night so these can actually be the final thoughts you record on this day and that everyone has a peaceful sleep.
