A big brown turd. No. You just want to to bed. And little kids don't understand the fallback. We were trying to tuck Macy in. Normally, ah she sits and waits up for me while we record the pod. I was like, we're not doing it tonight. You got to get in bed. She's like, this is not fair. i was like, well, you know, fallback time. It's really it's 830. She didn't care for that.

Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That logic, what didn't hit?
00:01:13

00:01:16
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It
00:01:23

But Macy doesn't seem to think going to bed before eight o'clock is a very is very cash money. She told me this was rigged.

Next Guy Up Podcast Network
ah sounds like she's been listening to dad yellow football games.
00:01:37

00:01:46
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It's rigged.
00:01:46
tins

00:01:50
tins
Which, I mean, most things are rigged against her.
00:01:51
Next Guy Up Podcast Network

00:01:52
tins
She is seven. so
00:01:57
tins

Next Guy Up Podcast Network

Daylight Savings Time Humor
00:02:07
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I'm not sure it's worth it, though, because, boy, it's such a bummer come coming home from work and it's already dark.
00:02:09
tins
No. We've got...
00:02:14
tins
I heard Donald Trump was going to end this, and I need it and need him to come through.
00:02:17
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
thank you Yeah, of all the things, this is the number one priority.
00:02:22
tins
he He needs to fix the soda machines at fast food places, and then he needs to fix this, because I'm tired of it.
00:02:29
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Maybe NFL riffs.
00:02:32
tins
NFL refs, just refs in general, because what a joke officiating is.
00:02:37
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Hmm.
00:02:39
tins
I watched a guy make a clean tackle today. And sure, did he kind of suplex him a little bit? Yeah, but that's the tackle. This is the
00:02:46
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Get you every time.
00:02:48
tins
They threw a flag on him. I mean, come on. What are we doing?
00:02:53
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Do we want to address the dynasty mode in the room with us?
00:02:57
tins
Yeah, let's do it. I mean, you're not even happy about it.
00:03:01
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I'm not happy about it. ah we started a guest We started a game last year where we drafted one of each of the major um five four sports teams plus the golfer, and we keep track, and championships are worth points.
Fantasy Sports and Dodgers
00:03:15
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um I actually haven't updated the full list yet, but shout out to the Dodgers. They were my draft pick. They've won me two. two world series now so feel pretty good about that two mvps i got the chief still pretty pretty good dynasty still scotty scheffler yeah oh yeah thunder's good it's good pick
00:03:23
tins
And two MVPs.
00:03:31
tins
Pretty good. I have the Thunder.
00:03:39
tins
i switched because I had the Lakers. I said no more.
00:03:42
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
that was also good pick yeah except for luca skinny luca
00:03:47
tins
Skinny Luke is a problem. He scored like 40 in three straight games.
Wimby's NBA Impact
00:03:52
tins
Hashtag not an NBA podcast.
00:03:53
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
you I did have a question. I have an NBA question for tens.
00:03:56
tins
Yeah.
00:03:57
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um
00:03:58
tins
want to ball.
00:03:59
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah. I know you keep up with it at least. So I know you've been keeping up with the, the Wimby watch ah kind of being posed as this generational figure, kind of changing how basketball is played.
00:04:06
tins
Uh-huh. Yes.
00:04:13
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
If you watch him, he just, he looks different than everyone else. i mean, part of it's cause he's seven, nine,
00:04:17
tins
Yes.
00:04:18
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
But just how he, how it works and kind of how he plays. wonder, I was wondering the question, like, what would that look like in NFL? Is there, is there a player who you could plug in and just be like, this guy is different than ever. Like he's playing a different sport than the rest of the people on the field.
00:04:37
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Maybe it's Travis Hunter.
00:04:37
tins
Yeah. Well, I don't know. We'll see if he can on the field.
00:04:41
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Well,
00:04:43
tins
Uh, I, yeah.
00:04:45
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
that's the question with Wimby as well.
00:04:48
tins
Uh, maybe a guy like a B. John Robinson, Christian McCaffrey, those kinds of guys.
00:04:53
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Mm.
00:04:55
tins
Cause they're so such good receivers out of the backfield, but then can also like traditionally run the ball, like up the middle and, to the outside, like a normal running back, but you can legitimately line those two guys up as a receiver and they can hurt you that way.
00:05:10
tins
Gibbs to Jamar Gibbs.
00:05:10
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Mm.
00:05:11
tins
He can, I mean, he's a guy who can score from everywhere on the field. ah But yeah, no, I mean, Wimby's just different, man. He's, I have seen people on fast breaks dribble back out to the three point line because Wimby is coming and it's like, we, I'm not getting my shot blocked.
00:05:27
tins
It just, I mean, he eliminates the paint.
00:05:27
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, it's not even worth it.
00:05:30
tins
It's crazy. And they're such a good team.
00:05:32
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
You feel like my Michael Vick was kind of like that. Kind of just changed how football is played like at a fundamental level.
00:05:36
tins
Yeah.
00:05:39
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
of like What if the quarterback was also like a running back?
00:05:44
tins
Like a legitimate threat.
00:05:44
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
You know?
00:05:45
tins
Yeah. Like he was the first one.
00:05:46
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:05:48
tins
know there backs to run.
00:05:48
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
And now we've seen a lot of those guys be successful. Yeah.
00:05:51
tins
Yeah. But he was the first.
00:05:51
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
The first you do it at that level.
00:05:54
tins
Yeah. Where it was more than like, like a Randall Cunningham or a Steve Witten there. Like those guys could run.
00:06:00
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Right.
00:06:00
tins
John Elway, they could run. They could hurt you and pick up a first down, but like guys like Michael Vick or Lamar Jackson can legitimately break like a 50-yard touchdown run and change the game like that.
00:06:13
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
And Shohei's done it as well in MLB, right, recently.
00:06:16
tins
Yeah, Shohei's just a freak. i don't i don't i'm not a big I'm
World Series and MLB Thoughts
00:06:20
tins
not the biggest baseball guy, but... liket You can't throw him a pitch. That was the Blue Jays strategy in that crazy overtime or ah extra innings game was just like, we're not you're not gonna you're going to get walked.
00:06:33
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I'm not going let this guy beat us. Yeah. Anyone else too bad.
00:06:37
tins
And yeah, too bad their owner willing to pay the luxury tax and have the best team in baseball.
00:06:37
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
They have a lot of other guys, unfortunately.
00:06:46
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I mean, I ah know we're, we're all over the place and we're in a lot of zones that we shouldn't be in probably here, but I did, I did watch the world. I was pretty invested.
00:06:56
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Um, I've got a coworker who's really into the blue Jays and he's followed them a lot. And so, um,
00:07:00
tins
Oh, man.
00:07:01
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I was just kind of watching for him a little bit, and it's fun to get to talk to him about it. But um the the Blue Jays, if you're a Blue Jays fan, I mean, you had bases loaded at bottom of the ninth, one out.
00:07:15
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Like, I just don't know how you don't win that game. That's crazy. What an absolute bummer.
00:07:21
tins
have been cool for him to win because I'm um pretty sure Vlad Guerrero... senior, like his dad was the last, like was on the team that won the last time they won.
00:07:26
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
know, it's...
00:07:33
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, and interesting.
00:07:35
tins
so that would have been cool.
00:07:36
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I mean, I am not not a baseball guy at all. but
00:07:39
tins
No.
00:07:39
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
So no one wants my like breakdown of the game, but as like the most casual baseball follower of all time. it was was a fun World Series, though. A lot of fun games.
00:07:50
tins
Yeah. Seven games. It's always fun. He had the one that went like 15 innings.
00:07:52
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Extra innings twice, yeah.
00:07:54
tins
Yeah. Yeah. So.
00:07:56
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Game seven, I mean, that was electric.
00:07:57
tins
Good for the sport.
00:07:58
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
mean, it was fun. Yeah, for sure. i don't know if the Dodgers winning is good for this sport.
00:08:00
tins
Good for baseball.
00:08:03
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
ah Some people say the Dodgers killed baseball, but not me, but some people.
00:08:07
tins
Some people.
00:08:10
Next Guy Up Podcast Network

00:08:19
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
ah literally though I cannot say one intelligent thing about hockey, so.
00:08:23
tins
thing about hockey for me is I'm still just chasing all these futures I've almost hit. That's that's the only the reason I care about hockey. I pick a winner in December.
00:08:34
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
And then you just ride with them.
00:08:34
tins
ah Yeah, I just see who's good. i just pick whoever's got the third highest. I don't go with the first or second team. I go with the third, and that's my squad.
00:08:43
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Smart.
NFL Trade Strategies and Titans Rebuilding
00:08:45
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Smart.
00:08:46
tins

00:08:50
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Well, we did have a big weekend in sports other than the World Series. Football. There was a lot of football going on We had some college. ah We had some unfortunate games.
00:09:03
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
We had some upsets. ah We had we had a fight a couple of fun NFL games today. ah Chiefs-Bills ended up being a fun game. It usually is, but that one was good. Tans, his team was in a ah fight to the end.
00:09:19
tins
Yeah. With the a really good team. The you know the Las Vegas Raiders.
00:09:25
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Good quarterback. MVP. Candidate.
00:09:27
tins
Apparently he was today. He sure looked at today. That was the, that was the Geno Smith. Mason was betting on before the season started. was that one was that guy, not the one leading the league and interceptions currently.
00:09:37
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
oh
00:09:41
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
ah We got the win. Down a couple of receivers and team struggling.
00:09:47
tins
Yeah. Jags. Yeah. Jags got to go get a receiver tomorrow during the trade deadline. Cause a Brian Thomas jr. High ankle sprain. Deami Brown concussion, Travis Hunter torn meniscus is what I'm hearing.
00:10:01
tins
So went, he went on IR.
00:10:02
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Really?
00:10:05
tins
They were hoping six weeks.
00:10:06
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
the
00:10:07
tins
He's getting a second and MRI tomorrow, but the good news is the ACL, the PCL and the MCL are all intact. So those are in theory, theory, he could be, yeah, in theory,
00:10:17
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Back for playoffs.
00:10:25
tins
designated return we'll see we're i'm taking i'm trying to take i bit off a lot more than i i could chew maybe a couple weeks ago after we beat the chiefs and i need to i need to calm down i need to realize this is year one this is year one of a rebuild
00:10:28
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
All right.
00:10:38
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
huh
00:10:44
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, right.
00:10:46
tins
And with a new GM and a new coach. And I just need the i need to settle i need to settle down a little bit. Because I was starting to get some wild thoughts when we beat the Chiefs.
00:10:59
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah. Yeah, you could tell for sure.
00:11:02
tins
The Rams and Seahawks, they knocked me back down quite a bit.
00:11:08
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
But the Colts are back down to earth a little bit today. um they They looked more manageable.
00:11:13
tins
Denny Dimes.
00:11:13
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
They've been looking like world beaters.
00:11:15
tins
Denny Dimes came back. Yeah.
00:11:17
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah. So that's something for the Jags to look at. Titans are still just terrible. um
00:11:24
tins
They're getting better.
00:11:27
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
But they're trading all their good players.
00:11:27
tins
Legitimately. I think you're trading away the guys that aren't going to be there. I think the Titans are in a two to three year rebuild. And I think you're just trading away guys that would be not very helpful when the rebuild is done.
00:11:42
tins
Calvin Ridley's Chig.
00:11:44
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
He's not betrayed, and the record.
00:11:46
tins
ah I've heard. I've heard Jeffrey Simmons might be might be on the move. And I hope he's
00:11:54
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
feel very good.
00:11:58
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
yeah I bet you do. um Wouldn't surprise me. there's Titans are great farm program for the rest of the league right now. That's what it feels like.
00:12:07
tins
That fifth-round receiver you guys took from Florida, his last name's Dyke, everyone would clown on it because he was a special team player.
00:12:15
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
DK is DK, right?
00:12:17
tins
Oh, yes. Yeah, yeah. and didn't know that's how i pronounced it.
00:12:20
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yes.
00:12:21
tins
um He's like leading the league in all-purpose yards. no Because he is the punt and kick returner, but he's amazing at both.
00:12:25
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:12:27
tins
He had a punt return for touchdowns today. He's a very good player. Him and Cam are building some chemistry.
00:12:34
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Maybe we should not trade him.
00:12:36
tins
and don't think you'll trade him.
00:12:37
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That'd be cool.
00:12:39
tins
He's a rookie. I think he sticks around.
00:12:41
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That would be awesome. Need Need anyone?
00:12:45
tins
Listen, do you just you just need to so what what you need to get ready for is you're going to get a lot of new draft picks this week.
00:12:52
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
hope so.
00:12:52
tins
And just start just start looking at mock drafts and just seeing who you want in the third and fourth, fifth rounds. those are the guys that built That's how you build a team right there. The first round picks are flashy, the starter everyone cares about, but yeah the meat and potatoes of your team are drafted on Saturdays.
00:13:12
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Hmm. That's deep.
00:13:14
tins
That's why me and Mason watch those rounds. gotta You got to know who these guys are.
00:13:20
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That's you guys are the real deal. It's a pleasure to share ah podcast platform with you all. Somebody's got to do the real work out there.

00:14:09
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Electric environment. Just whenever you, I mean, two dead duck interceptions plus a fumbled return touchdown by defensive linemen. It's just like, you're not winning that game probably. And they didn't.
00:14:26
Next Guy Up Podcast Network

00:14:42
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yep.
00:14:44
tins
I think i they the way the season started, hot. Joey looked a lot better than what people were probably anticipating. Expectations went a little too high.
00:14:55
tins
But now we now we just got to we make sure we beat Florida and we can ruin Vandy's season.
00:14:55
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
My shoe eye.
00:15:01
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Haven't won in the swamp in 22 years. That would still be a big win.
00:15:05
tins
yeah
00:15:05
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um And then keeping Vandy out of the playoffs would be, it would it would be so it would feel good even though it's bittersweet that we're not making it either. you got at least keep those losers out of the dig on playoffs.
00:15:17
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
ah They can't go under no circumstances.
00:15:19
tins
Exactly.
00:15:21
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um We have the chance to ruin their season, which feels great.
00:15:25
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Boy, I want to do it.
00:15:25
tins
and then you go and beat Miami in a bowl game.
00:15:29
tins
Just, you know, there we go.
00:15:30
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That'd be great. ah That feels pretty good.
00:15:31
tins
Successful season. Yeah.
00:15:33
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Carson Beck. You could beat Carson Beck too. I like that.
00:15:38

00:15:44
tins
it.
00:15:44
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
All right. So to the categories. We did have some actual fun games to watch on Saturday.
00:15:52
tins
and
00:15:53
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um And we're going to talk about. So my game of the weekend. ah Speaking of. Your Miami Hurricanes took the L to SMU.
00:16:05
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um And a pretty big loss there for Miami. ah SMU with a huge win. They rushed the field. um in my Should I rush that? I'm to say yes. Acceptable rush.
00:16:19
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Haven't beat them in like 50 years.
00:16:22
tins
You think so?
00:16:23
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That was great.
00:16:25
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Unranked. Big underdogs.
00:16:25
tins
i don't know.
00:16:27
tins
They went to the playoffs last year. That's my only thought.
00:16:30
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I mean, sure. um mean, that's fine. I just, that's, that it's still one of those like program differences. It's like, if Georgia tech beats Georgia, you rush the field probably because you don't ever beat them. And they're, think, I think that's a fun win still.
00:16:50
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
i hear what you're saying. I think it's, i think it's an okay field storm. I'm i'm okay with it. It was an overtime, exciting, exciting ending.
00:17:00
tins
Okay. That's fair.
00:17:02
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That
00:17:06
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
was my game of the week. It was a back and forth. It ended up um coming down to the wire, going to overtime, like I said. And there you go. Shout out SMU.
00:17:15
tins
All right. yeah i'm I mean, I'm not mad about him rooting in Miami season. I'm pretty down on Miami.
00:17:21
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Carson Beck did not play very well.
00:17:23
tins
f
00:17:24
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, he's...
00:17:25
tins
What is but a shocker.
00:17:27
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:17:30
tins
right, ah my game of the week. I am all NFL today um with Mason out. Got to make sure we get people some NFL
Bills vs. Chiefs Analysis
00:17:37
tins
news. And I was just not having a fun time for the college slate, to be honest. ae There was no games really.
00:17:45
tins
It's mostly because I kept losing all my bets. So I was just mad about college football. So i started doing things around the house. um But for my game of the week, we already talked about Jags, Raiders,
00:17:57
tins
Legitimately was one of the more entertaining games of the NFL slate. um But I will go, we already dove into that. So I will go into the bills chiefs.
00:18:10
tins
Always an important game. These, when these two teams play, the chiefs are like in a weird spot. If the season ended today, they are actually out of the playoffs. They're the first team out um with their loss today with the Jags winning and them and the chiefs losing.
00:18:22
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Wow.
00:18:26
tins
That would be it. They'd finish as the eighth seed.
00:18:27
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Stop the count.
00:18:29
tins
I say start the playoffs right now.
00:18:34
tins
But the Bills came in. They looked really good. I mean, 28-21 final score. Chiefs couldn't really get anything going. You thought maybe at the end there they were going to pull some Chiefs magic.
00:18:46
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
4th and 17.
00:18:47
tins
ah well
00:18:47
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That was crazy.
00:18:49
tins
Yeah, I legitimately did think it was going to ah it was going to happen. But Bills pulled it out at home. ah Josh Allen now moves to five and one against patch for homes in the regular season.
00:19:03
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Ah, there you go.
00:19:03
tins
That's big asterisks there.
00:19:05
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That's the kicker.
00:19:05
tins
Cause we, we, we know what has happened in the playoffs each time. So, But this was an important game for for the Chiefs. They're they're kind of in – they can't really lose too many more games, honestly. I mean, the Chargers have looked up and down since their hot start, and the Broncos keep winning finding ways to win.
00:19:25
tins
um So that's two teams ahead of them in the standings and in the division. So the Chiefs don't have much b room for error the rest of the way. And the Bills, this was a big one for them too as far as standings in the AFC because the Patriots keep winning.
00:19:43
tins
And their schedule is is crazy easy. Them playing the Falcons today and then they play the Bucs in two weeks. ah Those are their last two challenging games until the end of the year when they play the Bills. I think other than that, they play the Jets, the Dolphins, the Browns.
00:19:57
tins
They play the Jets and Dolphins twice. I mean, they're just their schedule is very easy. So ah pretty important one. the The Patriots and Bills could come. like Those are the two teams competing for the one seed in the AFC with the Colts.
00:20:13
tins
which, you know, Danny Dimes about to fall back down to earth, to be honest, if we're being honest.
00:20:21
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Okay.
00:20:22
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
You love that.
00:20:22
tins
I'll tell you
Surprising NFL Scores
00:20:23
tins
what's not the game of the week, and this is probably this this might be hot take exposed, but the Seahawks currently whipping the Washington Commanders 21-0.
00:20:36
tins
maybe ah Maybe it's not so bad the Jags lost to the Seahawks only by eight.
00:20:42
tins
You know, Seahawks might be a wagon.
00:20:42
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Sure.
00:20:45
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Good win. Good loss. Okay, performance of the week. um Don't love this one.
00:20:55
tins
Oh, boy.
00:20:56
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um But a certain teamen um who was really feeling good about themselves ah went on the road and ah got For three quarters, we're really in bad shape.
00:21:12
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Kind of made it look decent in the fourth quarter. I am talking about your Vanderbilt Commodores. And my performance of the week is your Arch Manning.
00:21:22
tins
he
00:21:24
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
He came back from the depths. ah He has not looked great. But all of a sudden, Arch throws a touchdown on his first play. after a lot of people thought he might not even play because of a concussion protocol situation.
00:21:36
tins
Yeah, game time decision.
00:21:36
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um He came in.
College Football Standouts
00:21:38
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
threw a touchdown on literally the first play. Now, was it just to the flat? was like a screen? Yes. Did it count as a touchdown? Also, yes.
00:21:45
tins
Yes.
00:21:47
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
ah He had three touchdowns in this game.
00:21:51
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
ah And ah like I said, really, the final score was 31-34. really almost ended up going Vandy's way, which would have been just a tragedy. ah He ended up 25 for 33 for 328 yards,
00:22:04
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
three touchdowns no interception So he had a very good game. This is, I would say, his best game as a Texas Longhorn, probably. And all of a sudden, Texas, with two losses, is staring down the barrel of a playoff spot, but they've got to get through Georgia and Texas A&M to get there with two losses already. So it's not going to be easy, but all of a sudden, you have a very, very big game brewing in two weeks. Texas at Georgia has become...
00:22:37
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Huge match up there.
00:22:41
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Archmaining.
00:22:42
tins
Yeah. Arch Manning. Finally, he normally he's ah the fraud of the week. He's been the fraud of the week a couple of times. He's ah he's he's caught some shots from this podcast.
00:22:48
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
A couple times, yeah.
00:22:51
tins
So we got to give him props when they're due.
00:22:54
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That's true.
00:22:55
tins
um
00:22:55
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
He played at least decent.
00:22:56
tins
My performance. He did against a really, really good bandy defense. You know,
00:23:01
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Those guys.
00:23:02
tins
but my my performance of the week is Colton Loveland. Tight end for the Chicago Bears.
00:23:10
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, dropped that guy.
00:23:11
tins
Now, there's been a little There's been a lot of shade thrown at the bearish for taking Loveland instead of Tyler Warren. Tyler Warren's had a very good rookie year so far for the Colts and Loveland up to this point has really not done much other than be a blocker.
00:23:26
tins
um But that's just what Ben Johnson's offense is called for today. He absolutely took over. he had two touchdown catches for 122 yards, but he's twenty two yards but the cherry on top was he catches a 58 yard catch and run with 30 seconds left for the bears to win the game.
00:23:47
tins
Cincinnati Bengals come all the way back in the fourth quarter, recover an onside kick, which just seems to be an impossible thing to do. then I fell now with the new kicking rules, um, to take the lead with less than like the bears got the ball with 50 seconds left.
00:24:03
tins
Uh, couple couple, couple passes, get them set up. And then you never see it. It's crazy to see a tight end. I watched the play catch the ball and run for his like, I think he had like 35 yards after the catch broke a tackle.
00:24:18
tins
He's not a, he's not a small guy. Um, so that was crazy to see.
00:24:21
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah. It was impressive.
00:24:24
tins
Um, so he was my performance of the week. I'm sure he's not on very many people's fantasy teams cause he was not doing anything. So,
00:24:32
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I did draft him and dropped him.
00:24:35
tins
that That's got to feel good.
00:24:36
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Shout out to me. He may still be out there somewhere in our league. I wonder if he's on a roster. Probably. Okay. Next up we have Surprise of the week.
00:24:54
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Surprise of the week. And for that, I have ah Georgia Tech. Georgia Tech has outlasted um in multiple games. They've kind of been that team that you just can't knock off. They they win games. ah Haynes King has just been a winner. All of a sudden, alongside Miami,
00:25:17
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
ah Georgia Tech takes a loss, number eight and number 10 out of the ACC both take losses. thirty six to forty eight um NC State. They gave up 48 points to NC State.
00:25:31
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
ah This was um a pretty big game in the ACC.
00:25:33
tins
AJ Bailey.
00:25:35
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, all of a sudden, what'd you say?
00:25:37
tins
AJ Bailey game for NC State. True freshman quarterback. He went off.
00:25:42
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Hmm.
00:25:43
tins
he's he's a He's a big time portal guy after the season.
00:25:48
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
probably will be in the quarter. Yeah. He's going end up at Notre Dame or something. Okay. Yeah. Georgia tech. It just, they, they always, honestly, that whatever their first loss was, if it wasn't Georgia would have been a surprise to me.
00:26:03
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
ah They've been a fun team to follow this year.
00:26:03
tins
Yeah.
00:26:05
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I mean, there's, they're still frisky that they're still right there in the ACC championship plant. They, I think they could, they could be a team. You would not want to play in the first round the playoffs. Probably how that shake up.
00:26:15
tins
Yeah, their team you want to avoid.
00:26:18
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah. They just, they got the guys, I don't know. They have a lot of similarities with Vandy where it's just like, they're not going to go away. They're just going to keep battling. And they got a quarterback who's just going to get on your nerves and just do everything to win the game. So.
00:26:34
tins
Yep.
00:26:37
tins
All right. My surprise of the week. I have two. um My first one is the Carolina Panthers upsetting the Green Bay Packers.
00:26:46
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Hmm.
00:26:49
tins
The Green Bay Packers going into the year trading for Michael Parsons. They were the favorite to come out of the NFC. And I just haven't seen it. It's the team that's now lost to the Browns.
00:27:00
tins
They had a 40-40 tie to the Cowboys. And now they've lost to the Panthers, who are just, I mean, they're not bad, I guess. They're like, since the Meow Mix podcast retired, they're what, 4-1, I think, now?
00:27:19
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, and now they're coming back.
00:27:21
tins
Yeah, I saw they're coming back this week.
00:27:22
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Some people might say that for the sake of the Panthers, they might should stay gone.
00:27:27
tins
Maybe. the There might be blood on their hands.
00:27:31
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
the record of the The record of the team with them recording podcasts versus not recording podcasts tells me they should probably stop. They should not record any more podcasts.
00:27:42
tins
Yeah, they should stay retired. But...
00:27:44
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That's just me.
00:27:47
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
If you cared about your team, you might not want to jinx that one, Meow Mix.
00:27:50
tins
Exactly. But to each their own, I suppose. um But yeah, I mean, I don't know. This Panthers team is just kind of... I can't figure them out. I can't figure it out they... If they want to keep their head coach, if they want to keep Bryce Young. Like, it's just like... I think they're just waiting for the other shoe to drop, but they keep finding ways to win now and stay competitive. So...
00:28:12
tins
Congrats to them. Bryce Young played with like a broken ankle today. So shout out to him for gutting it out. um Rico Dottle is really fun. It's funny that they signed him and he's like taking over as a running back after they gave Chuba Hubbard a massive contract extension in the summer.
00:28:31
tins
um But that's how that goes. But yeah, so shout out the Panthers, but also just shout out the Packers for being a fake good team. um You were a 14 point favorite today and you lost. And Tucker Craft towards ACL, so that's very unfortunate because he was pretty much the only consistent receiving threat.
00:28:48
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Hmm.
00:28:48
tins
um
00:28:50
tins
And Jordan Love might be the first Packers quarterback to not win a Super Bowl the year he turns
Packers' Playoff History and Challenges
00:28:55
tins
27. Shout out Brett Favre. Shout out Aaron Rodgers. Shout out Bart Starr. Apparently that's the last three quarterbacks when they turn 27.
00:29:03
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Hmm.
00:29:03
tins
They won a Super Bowl. I'm calling it now.
00:29:06
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That's something.
00:29:07
tins
The streak ends with Jordan Love. He's now winning it. <unk> also ridiculous that like they've had four starting quarterbacks in the last 50 years or some stupid stat like that.
00:29:21
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Titans had that many in like the last three years. so Two, maybe. fine a
00:29:28
tins
um But then my real, my other one, my other surprise of the week, and I'm sure there's been other, other little dumb stats about this everywhere, but Tyler show,
00:29:41
tins
ah so first start today for the saints rookie quarterback, uh, through his first career touchdown pass to Juwan Johnson, who has been in the NFL for six years. They were teammates together at Oregon in 2019.
00:29:58
tins
So that just tells you how long Tyler shall show.
00:30:00
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Wow.
00:30:03
tins

00:30:05
Next Guy Up Podcast Network

00:30:06
tins
Who knows? It doesn't matter. He's going to in the NFL for like one whole year. Um, there's guys he played with in college that are now been the NFL for six years that he's now thrown passes to in his rookie year.
00:30:16
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, it's some wild stuff.
00:30:19
tins
COVID COVID really jacked up some of these guys is like how long they were in college stuff.
00:30:27
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That is wild stat.
00:30:29
tins
This guy came to college football before Trevor Lawrence and is older than him. And he's a rookie in the NFL.
00:30:36
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It's his first year in the league.
00:30:36
tins
Yeah.

Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I feel like Oregon is the king of those guys.
00:31:08
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um in Tennessee's been some old guy emergence too.
00:31:08
tins
yeah
00:31:11
tins
I know Miami had that tight end who was like 29.
00:31:12
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
and then
00:31:14
tins
Yeah, Hindenhooker was there for a long time.
00:31:16
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Turns out old guys sometimes are better 18-year-olds. Quarterback.
00:31:20
tins
Yeah. Diego Pavia, I'm sure he's going to to get one more year. He's going to be 27 years old playing college football.
00:31:26
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
No, he's going to go sell insurance.
00:31:30
tins
He's going very well for himself in the Nashville area.
00:31:31
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Probably. but We're going to have to hear him on a diggum podcast or something. radio show.
00:31:39
tins
Yeah, he's going to be one of those guys for sure.
00:31:43
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Okay, lastly, we got fraud the week.
00:31:48
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Fraud of the week. I have a couple. um This is this is not a fraud of the week necessarily, but shout out to Hugh Freeze for getting fired.
00:31:59
tins
Shout out.
00:32:00
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um I think we all thought knew that was coming, um but it's official. So, that I mean, he's joining a long list of SEC quarterbacks that are already fired. ah Just join the club. ah Good news for Auburn is there's no good news. There are like eight other positions that are better than yours, and good luck getting getting a coach.
00:32:21
tins
He might have been better off just holding on to Hugh Freeze for one more year.
00:32:21
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I don't know who who it's going to be. i At this point, it's almost like... your coach made this long, it's your, your light to the party. Uh, there not that many to go around.
00:32:34
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Um,
00:32:34
tins
only one Lane Kiffin, everybody.
00:32:39
Next Guy Up Podcast Network

00:32:46
tins
Yeah.
00:32:48
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Truly don't know where, but I would be shocked to be stuck around, but they lost the riveting 10 to three matchup to Kentucky. So,
00:32:56
tins
Gosh.
SEC Coaching Changes and Auburn
00:32:57

00:33:00
tins

00:33:00
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Okay.
00:33:02
tins
You deserve to get fired.
00:33:04
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, I mean, I say that as a fan of Tennessee who gave up like 40 points to this Kentucky team last week, but here we are.
00:33:13
tins
We won.
00:33:15
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Get the dub at least. ah Okay, well, we already talked about this. my My biggest fraud of the week was our good friends over at Miami. Miami.
00:33:27
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Taking their second loss.
00:33:27
tins
Mm-hmm.
00:33:28
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um I think they were the top of my fraud list, but you can throw Vanderbilt on there as well as you want. Vanderbilt is really getting on my nerves. they're They're just talking so much trash. they They think they're king of the world right now, and they are. i mean I'm glad they got humbled a little bit. I hate that they came back as much they did. I wish they would have got beat by 100 because, boy, they're annoying.
00:33:50
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Cincinnati also got beat 45-14.
00:33:55
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
And they were the number 17 ranked team in the nation.
00:33:59
tins
yes
00:34:00
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
So that's also something that happened.
00:34:04
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Okay. Tens, what you got?
00:34:06
tins
um My fraud of the week was the was the Packers. I didn't realize. i thought I i had left them off.
00:34:10
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:34:13
tins
um But my other fraud would be the Colts. Now, are they seven and two Sure.
00:34:16
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Oh, it's not good, Tens.
00:34:17
tins
this amazing. um yeah this is amazing
00:34:20
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
You're playing with fire. Yeah.
00:34:22
tins
This a Mason take, but um I'm going to, I'm going to just say it. I'm to say they were the September and October champions and it's November.
00:34:29
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Shooter shot. How
00:34:33
tins
It's real football time. And Daniel Indiana Jones has turned back into Danny dimes and Danny dimes. He's a fraud.
00:34:43
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
many times do get this team still, Fins?
00:34:46
tins
ah Two times.
00:34:47
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah. Okay. is This is all this is a like a bad takes exposed.
00:34:52
tins
I know what I'm setting myself up for.
00:34:56
tins
All takes exposed. Yeah, that's fine.
00:34:58
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, that's what this feels like right now
00:34:59
tins
i ah Listen, the way you beat the Colts is you don't let them you don't let them get comfortable. You don't let them come out and immediately score. You put pressure on Daniel Jones.
00:35:11
tins
He doesn't like pressure.
00:35:11
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
As someone who has Jonathan Taylor on his fantasy team I'll tell you that the key to beating the c Colts is not letting John Taylor get like three touchdowns and 200 rushing yards, so
00:35:20
tins
Yep. I'm not afraid of the c Colts. I'm not afraid of the daughter, Jim Mercer's daughter on the sidelines with her headset on, acting like a coach. I'm not afraid.
00:35:32
tins
I'm not afraid.
00:35:35
tins
They're frauds.
00:35:37
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, I think Daniel Jones is getting a lot of the headlines for that Colts team, but um Jonathan Taylor is, he's been a difference maker there.
00:35:45
tins
he's been He's been putting in work. Yeah.
00:35:47
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:35:49
tins
He had three games in a row where he had three touchdowns.
00:35:50
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I mean, Daniel Jones has been good. Yeah, but at the end of the day, you got a guy that's, but they shut him down today.
00:35:52
tins
Yeah.
00:35:58
tins
Jonathan Taylor has more touchdowns than some teams have on the season as a whole offense. He has more by himself.
00:36:04
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I know, it's he's got me a lot of fancy points.
00:36:08
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
But today he only had 45 yards rushing. Zero touchdowns.
00:36:08
tins
Not today, though.
00:36:13
tins
You just can't lose like that to a Steelers team that's not been very good.
00:36:14
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
So.
00:36:20
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
True. That's all he has to say.
00:36:20
