Introductions and Anecdotes

No, it's kind of spot on. i don't want to talk about another league, but I may or may not have had the top pick in that one as well. Did you see the background?
00:02:38
Speaker

Zach, thank you so much. We already have a Zach. You know, that's the biggest biggest point against you. But, you know, anything can happen. So he knows how to get in touch with us. That number is always easy to remember and hard to forget.

sixty six three five i think
00:03:51
Speaker
Cody, it's been almost a year since we had you on the show. I'm completely guessing there, but probably within four months of being correct. We should pull that next year, Jeff. We should have, like, how many days since?
00:04:04
Speaker
Everybody. Next year. Sure. Not now. Jeff, do we happen to have a sponsor for this week's show?
Guest Features and Humor
00:04:12
Speaker
um Yes, we do, Andy. This episode of You Like That is brought to you by the Home Shopping Network.
00:04:17
Speaker
Today we have Josh from the network here to highlight a few products in their fall catalog. Welcome, Josh. Thanks, Martin. Let's get right into it. Tell the listeners what we're looking at. Our first product is a wall-mounted soap dispenser for your shower, but this one is special.
00:04:31
Speaker
The soap dispenser is surrounded by an extra large loofah, and once you get that thing good and soapy, you rub your back on it back and forth and get all the hard-to-reach places. We're calling it the Bareback.
00:04:43
Speaker
Uh, okay. That's an interesting product, but the name is a little questionable. It's named that because you look like a bear scratching his back on a tree while using it. Yeah, but it could also mean something else.
00:04:55
Speaker
I don't know what you mean. Never mind. What else do you have? Bridging from our shower products line to our pet supply is a revolutionary new flea and sick shampoo that is guaranteed to protect your canine for up to 90 days.
00:05:07
Speaker
We're calling it Raw Dog Shampoo. Really? Again, the name. Okay, just Move on. Staying in the pet line, this new fenceless boundary product keeps your pooch on your property humanely without shocks. It uses a series of vibrations and beeps to keep Fido in bounds. It's called the Shocker.
00:05:25
Speaker
Okay, hold on. You said it doesn't use shocks, but you're still calling it the Shocker. Yep. Next, we have a desktop putting green designed by the ever-successful Korean golfer, Gloria Park.
00:05:36
Speaker
With the Glory Hole, you'll be getting your balls in the hole all day without having to leave the office. Come on. You have to know what you're doing here. I don't know what you mean. Well, it sure sounds like you made up a bunch of products just to give them wildly inappropriate names.
00:05:51
Speaker
What I'm doing here is showcasing our expected top sellers for your listeners. Now, if you don't mind, I'd like to showcase our last two products. Carry on. This next one is from our agricultural line. Martin, have you ever lost chickens from your flock and said to yourself, by golly, I wish I knew a way to track them? No, and I doubt anybody else has either. Well, now you can. With these neck-mounted tractors, you'll always know where your chickens are. This is currently a beta version and only works with your roosters.
00:06:20
Speaker
So keep on the lookout for the cock ring. oh Martin, did you know you could get certain food products from the Home Shopping Network? No. Well, you can. This artisan pickle is grown, seasoned, and pickled at Doe Family Pickle Farms. This single-serving zesty dill pickle comes in a whopping 12 inches and guaranteed to satisfy the biggest appetite. Wait, wait, wait. A dill pickle from the Doe Family Farms? Let me guess. It's called the dill dough?
00:06:47
Speaker
Martin, that's outrageous. What is wrong with you? It's just called Doe Family Pickle Farms. Oh. presents the jumbo dildo. All right, we're done here.
00:06:58
Speaker
that
00:07:02
Speaker
no Wow. Topical for the season. Thanks to our sponsor, Home Shopping Network. Was that it? Yeah, nearly three minute long one. I don't think I should play again. Since you missed the beginning. Hmm.
00:07:23
Speaker
What called I'm sure we'll find time to squeeze it in again. Yep. um
00:07:32
Speaker
Guys, it's time to, before we get into the meat of the show, cover some questions and comments from the last week of Evica.

00:08:27
Speaker
um Cody, you first. It was good. We started at Brian and Candace's. um Do you do a crawl? Do you do a Thanksgiving crawl?
00:08:39
Speaker
Yeah. Started there, ended up at the sister-in-law's house. Well, and then crawl their way home after that, but it was good.
00:08:52
Speaker
Excellent. Good for you. Jeff? Yeah, we went down to my my parents' house.
00:09:01
Speaker
It good. My dad made all the food. and And that was awesome because we were we got down there a day late, but we got there.
00:09:13
Speaker
Yeah, the snow snow didn't um stop you. Didn't hurt us on the way down. Our furnace broke and we had to get that fixed. Once you returned you returned home to a broken furnace, is what you're saying? No, no. I was loading the car and both kids kept getting more and more blankets as they were sitting in the living room.
00:09:36
Speaker
And I was like, hmm. And so then I looked at the furnace, the thermostat, and i was like, well, that's not great. And then I went down and looked at the, it's a boiler, not a furnace.
00:09:48
Speaker
And i was like, yeah, it's not not lighting. And we needed a new igniter. And this was when you were trying to leave for Minnesota? Yeah. okay Okay. Got it fixed that day, though.
00:10:02
Speaker
so Wow. To leave the next day. Wow. Okay. But it wasn't that cold yet. It was only like 10 degrees out. So we were able to use our heat pump.
00:10:14
Speaker
Until the furnace got fixed. I don't know what a heat pump It's an air conditioner. Do they sell it on? And in the winter, you can use it for heat. Wow.
00:10:26
Speaker
Okay. What kind of area does it cover? The whole house. Incredible. Yeah. Yeah. if you don't have If you don't have an air conditioner and you don't want to do like window mounted air conditioners for a bunch of rooms.
00:10:42
Speaker
A mini split heat pump is pretty sweet. No ducks. Whoa. a lot of anti-duck intent on this show so far. Getting a little heated. So you said you were a day late for Thanksgiving?
00:11:01
Speaker
No, we got there on Thanksgiving Day. Okay. They were hoping to be And I was going to help my dad cook because he's not really that into cooking.
00:11:16
Speaker
Well, bless him. Yeah.
00:11:20
Speaker
Yeah. and have turns Great. Saw some friends, um, had a pretty chill, chill dinner. Uh, we've found We found this some vegetarian roast that we've been missing for the last, well, since we moved here. It turns out it was at Whole Foods the whole time.
00:11:40
Speaker
Field roast? No, it's the corn one that uses egg. um it's ah It's a cut above. It's probably the egg that does it. You agree? Yeah.
00:11:52
Speaker
It's really good. so So after that, we went back to Whole Foods and bought like six of them. Oh, wait until after Thanksgiving so they're on sale? Yeah. Yeah.
00:12:03
Speaker
Because you can never get rid of that shit after Thanksgiving. No. I mean, I don't know why they don't just hold it until Christmas. But if you thaw them, you're not supposed to refreeze them at the store.
00:12:16
Speaker
Yeah, but they were all frozen. Yeah, then i don't know what they're doing. I don't know what they're doing either. Hey, you still have it?
00:12:25
Speaker
Cody, you think of the new format of our show? Love it. Nice, tight, short. Jeff, do you think Cody's having some connection issues right now?
00:12:36
Speaker
He could be. Uh-oh. He loves it. He loves it.
00:12:43
Speaker
All right. Excellent. Can you hear me? Here we can now. Yeah. All right. Next question. Next question. Cody, where's Tom?
00:12:57
Speaker
That's a great question.
00:13:02
Speaker
as Well, he beat me, so I don't know.
00:13:09
Speaker
Hey, um it's time for a live look in Let's see how Tom's team is doing this week in You Like That Fantasy League.
00:13:23
Speaker
Ladies and gentlemen, after being projected to lose to Pug Life by 50 points, Steelhouse has gained some ground.
00:13:36
Speaker
That's right. Through no fault of Tom's own, he is above project. He's added 30 to his projection in one night after 23 points were kicked through by Brandon Aubrey and 24 were earned by the Detroit Lions des defense.
00:13:56
Speaker
Still, Pug Life has a 16-point advantage in the projections, but It's getting hot in Beaverton.
00:14:07
Speaker
He could pick up a quarter. You know i mean?
00:14:14
Speaker
He could. We'll see. there's There's always a chance. Although a lot of QBs have come off the bird in the last couple of days. um jeff Jeff, what's this last question? I'll let you do ah What kind of wallet do you guys have?
00:14:37
Speaker
I have a thin one. I don't know there's a name. tooth
00:14:43
Speaker
my Mine's one of those ones that are like, I don't have my wallet on me. ah This was a mistake on my part. You like flip a lever and then all the cards pop out?
00:14:54
Speaker
o Oh, yeah. like a like do card card case. don't like it, though.
00:15:04
Speaker
All right, Jeff, do we have any calls or text messages he this week? Wallet related. of our hope. Here's a quick text message from our new friends at Code 18. Code 18, by overwhelming demand, we're extending up to 72% off site-wide with Code Cyber. Only active while stock remains. https colon double forward slash code 118.pscript.io slash Message from 833
00:15:48
Speaker
there's There's three more. That's You know, Cody, you didn't have to write that all down by hand. We can just forward you the message. Okay. That's like not necessary, but we appreciate your studiousness.
00:16:00
Speaker
ah Jeff, do you think there's any chance that the way AI is going that they've They're aware that we're reading these text messages on the air and that they would therefore send us more text messages.
00:16:14
Speaker
You know, I do know that Google voice keeps trying to put these text messages in the spam folder and I have to retrieve them from the spam folder.
00:16:24
Speaker
so So something's working there. Awesome. Definitely. All right, it's time for everyone's least favorite segment, especially this season, the Mjolnir Minute.
Sports and Fantasy Football Analysis
00:16:42
Speaker
Cody, this is where we spend one whole minute, if if we can manage to discuss the Vikings. Last week they played Seattle, and I'm guessing you, I think you have some thoughts.
00:16:57
Speaker
Who wants to start?
00:17:00
Speaker
The Vikings shouldn't have gone with J.J. McCarthy. He sucks. A Home Shopping Network pickle.
00:17:15
Speaker
Does anyone think the Vikings... I said on the Discord, I'm glad Sam got paid and I'm glad we didn't pay him. Was it a mistake to give up Sammy D?
00:17:27
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. yeah Pretty simple.
00:17:33
Speaker
It's clear now, but after the final two games of the the last game of the season and the first playoff game, it was... Who could have? No? hu A team that wanted to win 10 games.
00:17:47
Speaker
Yeah, I guess so. Hey, last question. Bo Nix was taken picks after JJ. Bo Nix sucks, too. Don't fool yourself.
00:17:59
Speaker
Bo Nix is trash. Okay, we'll see. That's more Oregon hate. Now it's time for everyone's... Oh, I'm sorry. Oh, it is more Oregon hate. He was there for one year, right?
00:18:15
Speaker
Yeah. It was just not really an Oregon hate. was Auburn for four. No. We claim him, though.
00:18:24
Speaker
How much did you guys pay him to come? We don't talk about numbers around here.
00:18:33
Speaker
I mean, yeah it was a very new one.
00:18:37
Speaker
Hey, ah it's time for everyone's favorite segment.
Five Questions Segment
00:18:41
Speaker
You know what it's called. Five questions. Five questions.
00:18:52
Speaker
Cody, we assume you've been listening to every episode as usual and you're completely prepared for these five or six questions. Absolutely. Looks like a thumbs up. All right.
00:19:03
Speaker
Jeff. Cody, what is your Chipotle order?
00:19:08
Speaker
Barbacoa burrito, black beans, white rice, corn salsa, red salsa, green salsa, cheese and sour cream.
00:19:25
Speaker
All right. um Cody, speaking of beef, do you have anything to say about any other team in the league?
00:19:34
Speaker
I mean, ah sure no Who's going to trade away their future and probably lose it?
00:19:45
Speaker
Hmm.
00:19:48
Speaker
Hmm. Yeah. um I mean, looking at last week, it could be either of us. So I'm going to assume you're talking about Brian.
00:20:00
Speaker
Absolutely.
00:20:04
Speaker
Brian never listens to the show anyway. One quick, quick follow up. Do you order in person or like on the app?
00:20:15
Speaker
So I actually door dash it every time. orda trying to go Trying to go into Chipotle. I don't want to be the soccer mom for four kids.
00:20:28
Speaker
Or the soccer dad. Excellent choice to to pass on the green then. Correct. brett coma crap Correct. Correct.
00:20:40
Speaker
You said to pass on the what? The greens. Can't get lettuce on a DoorDash. Oh, yeah. You get really, you know, crappy, crappy produce. I always forget about that question. And you got you got the you you got the good reason to ask it, Jeff. And I'm sorry.
00:20:58
Speaker
It's not on the script. No, I just blew right past it. Cody, what's your favorite hobby with Christy?
00:21:08
Speaker
Pre kids are currently Cody. Can you hear me? Jeff, you should get a picture now of of Cody. Oh, we love you. craig Thanks for being you.
00:21:19
Speaker
Can you hear me? Cody. Yes. Can hear me? Can you hear me? All right. His, his favorite hobby is yes. Yes. Yes.
00:21:31
Speaker
Yes. Cody.
00:21:34
Speaker
I blame YouTube TV. Hey, this is an actual, um, actual justification to use stoppage time. It is. We don't have to make it up. going Good. I know you did.
00:21:49
Speaker
Um, I'll keep the stopwatch running, it appears, but only you and I will know why. only Okay. What can we cover while Cody's gone? Let's see. Uh,
00:22:03
Speaker
Can do some awards? Award updates. Ooh, I got a beep.
00:22:10
Speaker
Probably sent us a text message. Yeah, so it's still Jamar Gibbs leading for for best single game player performance. um But Jeff, this begs the question, since last week the top scorer was defense.
00:22:28
Speaker
Should a defense, could a defense one day win this $5 prize? Do we make it best single, I don't know, line item?
00:22:41
Speaker
but What would be the problem with the defense winning? Just that the definition is best single game player performance.
00:22:52
Speaker
Player singular. Sure. Yeah. So kicker could do it, but you feel like a defense would be kind of going around the definition.
00:23:09
Speaker
I think so. I think if a defense ever does win it, we'll have to put it to a vote. How's that sound? Yeah, that's fine with me. yeah Voting is it good it's a good Yeah.
00:23:22
Speaker
work yeah
00:23:25
Speaker
um the most ah Should I? um we can we can We can hit stop and then we can just wait.
00:23:40
Speaker
Fantasy football. Fantasy football. What you want to about fantasy football? All football, all the time. Everybody gots their fantasy football.
00:23:52
Speaker
Gotta something and make it rhyme. Fantasy
00:24:02
Speaker
right, Cody, favorite hobby with your significant other besides the obvious. ah So before kids, it was we loved happy hour. Mm-hmm.
00:24:14
Speaker
Finding new spots, happy hour, get a drink, find good food. After kids, and I think somebody said this before, it's just taking a walk. It's the best we get in our life right now.
00:24:28
Speaker
It's our quiet time. The kids can run and do what they want. that walks around the neighborhood, find a park, find a creek.
00:24:40
Speaker
Right, you guys can talk grown-up stuff while they're going. Yeah, while they're yards ahead of us and doing whatever they do. That's good.
00:24:51
Speaker
That's nice. I think it's piece, even though it's been said before, completely understand. Do you guys correct correct correct correct.
00:25:05
Speaker
Do you guys do word or anything and like compare? Wordle? Yeah. You still do Wordle? No, I was addicted to that for a while. Haven't touched it for a minute though.
00:25:19
Speaker
I like sending you when Wordle rejected my borderline dirty words. That was fun. ever get back into it? I'm here for you, bud. I like it. I forgot all about that game.
00:25:34

00:25:42
Speaker
Next question. Cody. Jeff, are you ready? Cody, what is your mile time today? Today? Today?
00:25:57
Speaker
but I'm not breaking 11 minutes. There's no way.
00:26:01
Speaker
I'm going to stop to walk. So in high school, I ran cross country and track. So I have a good, decent idea of what I could have ran. But these days, 1030, I'd be lucky to break it.
00:26:17
Speaker
Okay. So if you gave yourself a month to train, where are you coming in? I mean, if I'm committed... Nine minutes, eight and a half, but I got to go hard.
00:26:30
Speaker
One month? Yep. So in high school i do it in high school, I ran the 1500 meter, which is 100 meters short of a mile.
00:26:41
Speaker
And that was around seven minutes is what I was finishing at. But that was 20 plus years ago. There's no way I'm doing that today.
00:26:52
Speaker
On the 1500, do you skip the curve or do you skip a straight? You skip
00:27:00
Speaker
a curve. A curve. Yeah. produce Well, that's a good question. You start on the curve. So you skip a straight? Yeah. yeah You finish on the straight.
00:27:14
Speaker
I'm trying to picture it in my head. Is it half a loop? 1,500? Four laps around. Four laps, but not, you know, like it's three and three quarters. oh Okay.
00:27:28
Speaker
One lap would be 400. Yeah, so you do finish on the straightaway. So you're right. you You skip the curve at the end. What's the run with the with the beam and the water and shit?
00:27:42
Speaker
Steeplechase? Yep. Yeah. yeah that's Slightly different than the 1500 meter.

like nails on a chalkboard. But when I put it in my mouth, it i I can't explain it. My mouth waters. It's a tingling. It's weird. I can't do it at all.
00:30:58
Speaker
Huh. Yeah, I don't think I would do that then. That sounds like a... Almost like an allergic reaction. Yeah, that's what it... It's kind of what it feels like. And I can't do bagels and cream cheese. I can't do cheesecake. i None of it. Uh-uh.
00:31:13
Speaker
I'm out. Jeff, do you like cheesecake? I mean, i'm fine with it. I don't really...
00:31:22
Speaker
ah yeah Yeah, it's good. and there not ah I will never make cheesecake. That's a real pain in the ass. Wow. How about Andy? I like it. I don't know if I'll ever make one, though.
00:31:38
Speaker
Correct. Correct. Correct. You saved it, Cody. You finished strong. I like it. Thanks. Thanks for playing this year's edition. worst and it Hey guys, it's time to look back at the, your favorite discord channel and mine.
00:32:08
Speaker
That's the matchup of the week. Oh yeah. That's a good one. It's a good one. It's a fun channel. This is where we do a deep dive on one fantasy football matchup each week.
00:32:20
Speaker
And last week it was Brian, the the four seed, against Nick, the three. Both of them with the same, what, eight and six record or something like that? Seven and six record?
00:32:34
Speaker
I don't know. I don't know math. But they had the same record. That's what made it compelling. Oh, but then it was bad. It was bad.
00:32:46
Speaker
Yeah. That was a bad matchup. They started projected for Brian to win by 14. fourteen Right. And then, and then what happened?
00:33:02
Speaker
It ended up being like 30 plus 50. Yeah. You know, it was, uh, yeah. Brian, Brian just paced him the whole time. You know, it never got close, never got interesting.
00:33:14
Speaker
Um, What happens when you pay for your roster?
00:33:22
Speaker
ah Fortunately for them, they both punched their tickets to the postseason. i Brian won, and I said, congrats, Brian. You made it to
Fantasy Football Standings and Playoffs
00:33:31
Speaker
the postseason. But what I didn't realize, and what I guess Yahoo didn't realize, was that both of their spots were secure anyway?
00:33:40
Speaker
Or did it depend on how everything else went, Jeff? No, no, it was they were secure. So this algorithm, we had issues and and more on on that to come. That brings us right into the standings, the playoff preview, everything, you guys. Let's get into it. This is the most exciting part as we go into, as we've actually kicked off week 14 just this evening.
00:34:06
Speaker
Looking at the standings, here is everybody who's locked. Are you ready? I'm ready. ah We got... Andy, quick question. Quick question. yeah Are you starting from the top, the bottom? Are you going middle out?
00:34:19
Speaker
Just curious.
00:34:22
Speaker
Let's start by, let's start at the top because my notes here, Jeff, are incorrect as you pointed out. So I'll just do the top and then you can help me with the rest. All right. Sure.
00:34:35
Speaker
Those who are secured are Nick T Andy F um Is that Lance Corporal Underground Cut? That's right. Oh, that's that's good for the listeners at home.
00:34:49
Speaker
Lance Corporal Underground Cut, secured. Con Aeron, secured. Pug Life, secured. Postseason, the pipe is in.
00:35:01
Speaker
Jamar's Attacks is in. Despite the the mid-season post-podcast swoon. yeah um But he was he was buoyed by his early season performance. That's it. We got five locked in.
00:35:17
Speaker
And the final three spots are yet to be determined. Jeff, who is who is eliminated from playoff contention? Okay, I'll start from the bottom up then. Thank you. Yep. We have eliminated first Steelhouse.
00:35:34
Speaker
Sorry, Tom. Then we have the 501sts. Sorry, Tim. And Kuznug. Okay.
00:35:50
Speaker
You know, i still I still like the relegation idea, Jeff. You know, now we got Zach. Cody, where's your friend Zach from? Nebraska. he's You know, we got Zach from Nebraska. We got more guys from Shaska High. We got, we got another you know, relegation was a really funny idea. I'm sorry that it got such blowback.
00:36:12
Speaker
But it would be really funny to have a rotating roster for that last place. Anyway, I'll stop. I'll stop being standing on that hill. Jeff, who is in contention?
00:36:25
Speaker
Let's get to talking about this. this yeah let me Yeah. Yeah, the real contenders would be the six and seven teams. um You missed one that's it locked in.
00:36:36
Speaker
That would 10 Edinburgh. Oh, he's locked. Yeah. Thank you, Jeff. Congratulations, Mike.
00:36:45
Speaker
a la I just talked about how Yahoo can't figure this out. And then turns out I can't figure it out either. Ecom. Congratulations. You're locked. Uh, regardless of what happens this week, top six spots, two left to go.
00:37:01
Speaker
Yep. yep So we have three, six and seven teams and two of them play against each other. And so that's, it's throwing Yahoo off is they assume that they're not playing against each other. I'm guessing.
00:37:14
Speaker
um Oh, and you know what else? You can tie in this game. I just read. No, you can't. You can. No. So I've been wondering why they both don't just bench every single player and take a tie.
00:37:30
Speaker
Because then Matt would be out.
00:37:34
Speaker
Oh, there's six and seven with us, aren't there? with me.
00:37:39
Speaker
So, um yeah, or no, no. the Yeah, Matt would be out. No, no. um Jarrett would be out? Yeah. Because of points.
00:37:50
Speaker
Because of points. right, Jeff, let's hear it. So you have the three, six, and seven teams. We're Not Worthy is playing Khan Aeron. And We're Not Worthy is essentially locked in.
00:38:04
Speaker
they If they lose and either of the five and eight teams win and outscore them by the points for margin that they have, then we're not worthy we'd be out.
00:38:21
Speaker
That's also, that's that's Cody's team. So for those who don't know at home. So if, uh, Jeff, if you win and gain 26 points on Cody, is that what you're 21 points going into tonight.
00:38:40
Speaker
Okay. Yeah. And then if Phil wins and gains, what 70, 60. seventy sixty Yeah. 40 more points than I needed.
00:38:54
Speaker
Got it. Yeah. Okay. Which seems unlikely. Seems pretty unlikely that Phil would put up 180 points because Cody is projected to get 120. Okay.
00:39:07
Speaker
yeah Okay. Yeah, it's pretty unlikely that Cody would put up on 120, you would beat him, and I would hang on 141.
00:39:18
Speaker
he So I feel pretty confident that Cody's in.
00:39:23
Speaker
And then whoever loses from the pure shithouse V1 cent would then also be out.
00:39:35
Speaker
Okay. So does that mean the winner of pure shithouse versus 1 cent is in? Mm-hmm. It's either Matt or... Okay. And they, if they outscore ECOM by more than four points...
00:39:52
Speaker
then they move into seventh. Well, assuming Cody beats you. Cody doesn't beat you. Then Cody's in Heath. Okay.
00:40:06
Speaker
You know, it's a wild thing about income, Jeff. You're playing him this week. And after Thursday night football, you guys are deadlocked at 13.8. That's funny.
00:40:19
Speaker
That's quite the night. Uh, And Jeff, can you explain? His projected points did go up, though. He picked up three points. Yeah, he picked up. And I dropped three points.
00:40:29
Speaker
He's looking good. Yeah. Jeff, do you want to explain your new team name to anybody? ah Yeah, my new team name is Cody Loses and 20-plus points for us, meaning that we have to outscore Cody when he loses by 20-plus points.
00:40:49
Speaker
What do you think about that, Cody? Do we have the decimals or is it just 20 above 20? It was like 20.4.
00:41:00
Speaker
20.3 would be great. ah So here's my worry. Lamar Jackson hasn't practiced all week. Lamar Jackson, been dog crap the last three weeks.
00:41:12
Speaker
do I was going to ask, has he even even played in the last month? Well, this sure doesn't look like it. Do I go CJ Stroud that I just picked up? Wow.
00:41:23
Speaker
I'm struggling. You could ask the commissioner to to reverse your Stafford trade. man sure
00:41:32
Speaker
a Oh, man. That's right. Forgot about that.
00:41:37
Speaker
Well, that's a great question, Cody. If anybody has advice for Cody on who he should start at quarterback this week, Drop it in the pod channel.
00:41:48
Speaker
All right. That's the lingering question. That number is always easy to remember and hard to forget. Thanks guys. 612-093-6635. All right. That's,
00:42:03
Speaker
all right that's that's been the playoff preview. Thank you both for taking me part and good luck to both of you to get in. Though it doesn't seem very possible at this point.
00:42:16
Speaker
For both of us get in, yeah. No, that seems pretty impossible for both of us to get in. if If I had been paying attention during that last segment, I could speak definitively on it.
00:42:27
Speaker
Yeah. No, no. If, if. ah No, no, that wouldn't work. All right. um Jeff, how much we got to be over time, but.
00:42:40
Speaker
We're right. We're, we are right at 30 minutes. Uh, if I, no, no, maybe I missed adding these together. Yeah.
00:42:51
Speaker
Yeah. Miscalculating. Right. ye Do we have any stoppage time to run? Do you have, we have a four minute stoppage time right now. Okay.
00:43:04
Speaker
Okay. Um,
00:43:08
Speaker
Okay, I'm pretty excited for this. Four minutes of stoppage time starting now.
00:43:16
Speaker
oh I did have one more section for this playoff preview that I think is interesting to note here and discuss with you guys.
00:43:26
Speaker
This is a special week in YouViteThat where you know last season got messed up because of the divisions and we had to rebalance the The season, so that everyone played everyone else at least once. Sure.
00:43:40
Speaker
This season, maybe this is how it will always be. But week 14 is the same exact matchup as week one. It's a week one rematch. Only the stakes are much different for a lot of teams.
00:43:55
Speaker
a Right now we got you know Ecom versus Jeff. Week one went to Jeff, 107-89.
00:44:05
Speaker
That's about an 18-point swing. And Jeff, we week 14 is projected to be 107 to 87. The more things change, you know?
00:44:19
Speaker
Yeah. So, Jeff, will you play spoiler to EECOM? Is that even possible? No. don't think so. No. All right. Yeah.
00:44:31
Speaker
We also got Cody, you versus me, a week one. I took it 131 to 22. And this our projection right now is 133 to 121.
Matchup of the Week and Playoff Context
00:44:46
Speaker
Like the same Just running it back.
00:44:51
Speaker
Running it back. um and And Cody, you might recall that after that week one matchup, you held on to most points scored in a losing effort. for one month until until you someone beats you for that $5 prize. I'm sorry. Sorry to bring up.
00:45:09
Speaker
The only thing I remember from that is Justin Fields hasn't done anything like that ever again. Are you kidding me?
00:45:20
Speaker
Yeah, you caught his one hot wee. I think he scored 29 the first week. He came out ready. you know No one had tape on him anymore. He outscored Lamar Jackson.
00:45:37
Speaker
He what? He outscored Lamar Jackson.
00:45:42
Speaker
I hope he comes back. We'd we'd love to rename our our team after him once again. you know For a third time. ah Breaking news, Cody, our matchup happens to be the matchup of the week.
00:45:57
Speaker
And... according to Yahoo's algorithms, which has nothing to do with the next topic. Jared versus man. Two, two out of three, six and seven teams buying for the, one of the last two playoff spots. Jeff, do you have any thoughts on the Yahoo matchup of the week algorithm?
00:46:19
Speaker
Yeah, it's clearly broken, but you know, what are, what are we going to do? I'm going to cough. Yeah. I think that that the matchup ah of the week should be, obviously, the one that matters the most for the playoffs.
00:46:38
Speaker
um i think yahoo I think Yahoo went with your guys' matchup because it looks at at Cody's team as being in trouble to get in.
00:46:52
Speaker
You know? But... It didn't factor in that that um the two, six, and seven teams are playing against each other. so Yeah.
00:47:04
Speaker
It's a bad week. Yeah. Bad bye week timing for Jarrett. This week 14 is some horse shit. Yeah, it's a rough one for him. ah he Too bad he can't trade that extra quarterback to Cody. Yeah.
00:47:24
Speaker
we allow ah day zero trades until the very end of the season and just let people, you know, dump everybody week 14? I don't know. What do you think, Cody? Brian wouldn't end up with any picks left, so no.
00:47:37
Speaker
who We're going to go with no.
00:47:43
Speaker
I think he's got round 10 through 15 as his selections next year. you know Ever since we upped the keeper a limit to two, no now that's prime hunting territory for those late round picks.
00:48:00
Speaker
you know You can grab a tight end and keep them for two seasons and then trade them away. Right, Jeff? Yeah. That's a bummer. no you no Brian's got a third and a fourth round pick.
00:48:16
Speaker
All right. He doesn't need those first two. That's right.
00:48:22
Speaker
ah So Jarrett's missing Jennings and the you know the running back he spent – he emptied his his fab wallet on. yeah He's missing his kicker who got 15 points last week.
00:48:38
Speaker
Jarrett's got a tough row to hoe, is that it? um But I got to ask if if there's another sub-70 from Matt in the works.
00:48:51
Speaker
after I got shit for not scoring 80 in a victory last week, you know, we had, we had Zach beat Matt 75 to 66. So what's that about? and We've had some really bad scores in this league this year, you know?
00:49:18
Speaker
Yeah, yeah. we we almost It was almost a 60 on 60 point showdown, but fortunately Zach pulled it out at the end. Okay, that's it. We're running out of time.
00:49:33
Speaker
Worst manager. Brian still has the most points left on the bench, but Cody, you've overtaken ah Nick K. Both of you have three games you could have won you know, had you optimized your lineup, but you have two games where you would have also beat your opponent's optimized lineup.
00:49:56
Speaker
So that gives you the lead. This $5 looks as good as yours, Cody. Loving it. When you have two running backs from the same team, it's hard to start both of them, but apparently I should.
00:50:13
Speaker
Apparently so. a
00:50:18
Speaker
McCaffrey is the best player overall still by just four points, barely ahead of Josh Allen and Jonathan Taylor. With Ecom being the only seven and six team right now, ah you know, he's probably in.
00:50:33
Speaker
He's definitely in. Right, Jeff? Who? CMC? No, and isn he's not going to win it. He's on by. ah But I mean Tanemba's in the playoffs. Yeah, he's in the playoffs. but he won't But he won't have the highest scoring player.
00:50:51
Speaker
For the final game. Yeah. No, I mean, you know like like for the season, Christian McCaffrey won't be the highest scorer. Oh, because he's missing this week.
00:51:02
Speaker
Yeah. You're right so far. Yeah. Okay. he's already He's already been passed by Jameer Yibbs, pretty sure. That's right.
00:51:15
Speaker
We're close to it for me. Yeah. um Probably not because Jameer Gibbs
00:51:23
Speaker
only got you 33 points. That's it. Yeah. Hey, Cody, it's been a real pleasure having you on the show.
00:51:36
Speaker
Thanks, Jeff. Yeah. Thanks, Cody. There we go. yeah Screw you, Brian.
00:51:45
Speaker
Bye, Cody. anyway
