Jeffrey's Health Update
00:00:57
Speaker
How are you doing today, Jeffrey? I'm doing better, Andy. Don't have such a cold anymore.
00:01:03
Speaker
That's excellent news. Yep. X-ray came out clean. X-rays came out clean. No pneumonia. They switched up the meds. Switched up the meds, now i have these really cool orange pills. Nice. Yeah. Very nice. They're like neon. Neon pills. Yep. That's how all pills should be, right? That's how you know it's good.
00:01:25
Speaker
Well, i I can't quite answer that myself. I'm going to bring in an expert
Meet Kurt Isnavratil
00:01:29
Speaker
here. Ladies and gentlemen, our guest today, Kurt Isnavratil. Hello, Kurt. Rawr!
00:01:40
Speaker
Rawr! Rawr! Rawr! Hello. Wow, wow, wow. Kurt, we haven't had a reception like that all season.
00:01:52
Speaker
Thank you. Thank you. I would call that a Justin Jefferson level reception. Oh, thanks, Andy. Thanks, it's an honor. For those listening at home, can you describe your attire? Yeah. Hey, hi, everybody. I'm Kurt. For fuck's sake,
00:02:17
Speaker
I'm wearing a Triceratops hat. This is just part of a whole build, man. yeah and If you'll observe here, we have an anthropomorphization happening with this digits. And if you'll observe here,
00:02:43
Speaker
it's ah It's actually a a tail growing, too. That's a great outfit. Thanks. Do you wear it regularly? No, no. No, just special occasions. I'm here triumphantly at, I don't know, 6 and 14 or so on the league season. Thanks to my amazing work lately, especially.
00:03:12
Speaker
And you know I'm just proud to be here on a special occasion. That's why I have triceratops today. Thank you, Kurt. Let's get right into it with our Qs and Cs.
Waiver Wire Strategies
00:03:26
Speaker
Right. Jeff, you got the first one here. Award tracking.
00:03:38
Speaker
I know it's Q and C's, but Carson Steele, Andy, does look like he's gonna be the closest waiver wire pickup. We had two people come in with the $21 offer, and the winner was decided by Waiver Priority, which I don't think that's gonna get beat.
00:04:01
Speaker
So in order to beat it, it would have to be $22 or higher. Right. Two people tied to $22. Right. Yeah. Well, if it does happen, we'll be the first to call out the conspiracy. Yep. That's true.
00:04:21
Speaker
I'd like to have a brief discussion with you guys about waiver strategy as it relates to dropping or replacing players. okay Going into this week, I had a complex array of waiver pickups.
00:04:39
Speaker
you who I wanted, right, I definitely had my ideal pickup. And it was getting so convoluted due to how, due to which players I was trying to swap out and what I ultimately wanted my lineup to look like, that I just decided to drop everyone I wasn't keeping and make it easy.
00:05:03
Speaker
but then it got hard and I didn't expect this because now if I was trying to claim a receiver, I couldn't put them back to back because with multiple vacancies, I might get both receivers when I only wanted one. I think it would have been easier to keep my roster full and set up those replacements, set up two receivers to replace receiver a set up to kickers to replace kicker a yep is that is that how most people do it Jeff that's that's all that's why I do it I had I had multiple kickers set up I know I wanted one and so I had I think two or three offers in on different kickers
00:05:55
Speaker
um just so that I got one of them.
Free Player Pickups Explained
00:06:00
Speaker
Uh, the other thing about cutting them before the waiver process is anyone you cut, someone can pick up for free. Whereas if it's part of the waiver transaction, that person, that person's on waivers themselves, so but because you've caught them before, wave before waivers processed, you know, all those guys you've caught, you could, someone could go and pick them up right now for free. Seriously? Yeah.
00:06:27
Speaker
Well, that's crazy. And that's good to know.
Kurt's Frugal Fantasy Football Approach
00:06:33
Speaker
Kurt, you haven't spent a dollar of your free agent budget. I was gonna five and three. You're not alone. There are six teams who have not spent $1. And you're currently in the playoff picture. So what do you have to say for yourself?
00:06:52
Speaker
You know, I'm smart with my money, I'm very frugal. um You know, I go to the bargain bins, right? Like you take yourself, take a little tour through the free agent lists. And I ask myself, you know, who's hot now? Who's did well? Who do I recognize, first of all? It's good. It's good to recognize him.
00:07:19
Speaker
i mean i like to cheer for the people i would cheer for anyway yeah
00:07:27
Speaker
so So I've, you know, I cast a wide net is what I'm saying. Like I like to have at least two or three running backs, you know, that are expendable so that if another opportunity comes by, they can be swapped out. So I don't i don't get too attached is what I try to say.
00:07:57
Speaker
So you're your ability to maintain your $100 of fake money is does not come from a misunderstanding of the fab system. It comes from the fact that you're on a free game win streak and you're doing just fyeing.
00:08:17
Speaker
Yeah. You know, and I, you know, I understand that, uh, might not be doing as well next week and I might have to make some more. I might have to spend some money, right? Right. But for now we'll, we'll let it ride. You know, that's great. and And
Audience Feedback and Engagement
00:08:35
Speaker
it looks like anyone you drop does get locked for three days on waivers. Wow. Immediate correction. Yep.
00:08:43
Speaker
Thank you. Uh, if any of you listening at home has a correction that you need to inform us of for the next episode, you can call us as always at 6 1 2 2 9 3 6 6 3 5. I was just about to say that. Kurt, were you just about to say that too? What? The phone number for you, like that. You knew it by memory. Well, I mean,
00:09:12
Speaker
I mean, yeah. Yeah. Because it's easy to remember. And hard to forget. It's true. So like, just like, well, I forgot. Well, everyone in the league forgot to call in this week. So we're bringing back a fan favorite. That's right. Welcome to 2024. His first me older minute.
00:09:44
Speaker
I'm going to start the timer and we're going to talk about the Vikings for one minute. There it goes. We're counting down. So Jeff, did you watch the game? Um, off and on. Yeah. They jumped out to a 28 to nothing lead. It was pretty awesome. Darnold was just picking apart the Packers. Addison had one hell of a first half rushing touchdown, receiving touchdown. We looked, we looked unstoppable. The defense was,
00:10:14
Speaker
There was nothing that the Packers could do to to break through the defense. And then we muffed a punt with like but a couple minutes left in the half and that led to an easy touchdown. Oh, right. With like 20 seconds left, right? Yeah. Okay. And then it was, it was all Packers for a quarter and a half. It was all Packers. Yep.
00:10:43
Speaker
How much did the Vikings end up winning by? Two. Wow. I got it in my notes. And that's that's the sound of the the timer. But if GB hit either FG, it would have been G-O. It's game over, man. That's right. And how wild would that have been to have blown 28-0 score? Yeah.
00:11:12
Speaker
at the end of the fourth quarter in Lambeau. Yeah.
Vikings vs. Packers Game Recap
00:11:16
Speaker
yeah thanks Thanks, Jeff, for sharing Sambo Field on Discord. If you guys missed it, you can find it. Trust me. I saved it. I shared it outside of this network. Don't tell anyone. That's been the meal in a minute. Thank you for your contributions. Yay!
00:11:39
Speaker
Next up is the reason everyone who's not in the league is here to listen. That is five questions. What? Every week it's the same six questions and you get to eliminate one, Kurt. You said you said you looked at the questions in advance. Do you know which one you eliminated today?
00:12:01
Speaker
Yeah, we eliminated number six. Number six. I don't remember which one that is. Your favorite random social media wormhole? Right, because I don't really have one. Yeah, that's fine. That's fine. All right, Kurt, we're going to start with, we're going to start with what's your favorite or ideal USA vacation spot?
00:12:28
Speaker
It has to be San Diego, California. It just has the beach, it has wilderness, it has a downtown, it has all the stuff. And, you know, of course I grew up there, so it's always near and dear to me. So San Diego, California. It's the best place to be gaslight, isn't it, Kurt? Hey, yeah, the Gaslight District. Don't go there if you plan on buying a drink at a bar. It's too expensive.
00:12:57
Speaker
No, no, no, no, no. Just take some selfies and drink it home. Right. Jeff, do you want to take one?
00:13:08
Speaker
um Kurt, what's a surprising movie you've never seen? I've never seen Goodfellas. Nor have I seen Scarface all the way from start to finish. I've seen the whole movie, but it's been disjointed. I don't know that you've seen the whole movie then, Kurt. Maybe not in a way. It's probably a scene or two that'll knock your socks off. Probably. You ever see Scarface but with kids?
00:13:39
Speaker
No. I'll share it on the podcast channel. Remind me. It's one of my favorite things to ever come out of YouTube. Speaking of social media wormholes. Good fellas, do you ever intend to see it, Kurt? I don't think so, man. I think it's too, too brutal, too violent nowadays. I can't get too real. ah No. Nope.
00:14:07
Speaker
OK, Scarface and Casino are still on the table for any future guests. Kurt took good fellas. Jeff, last week, what was the
Kurt's Movie Gaps Discussion
00:14:20
Speaker
what was the movie that and meant? Oh, Star Wars, right, which we had both obviously seen. Kurt, have you seen Star Wars? Well, which one? OK. And before that, it was my week.
00:14:35
Speaker
I hadn't seen good Godfather. Have you seen Godfather? ah I have seen the first one, but not the second or third. So, you know, so far, Jeff, because I assume you've seen Goodfellas. Yep. So far, this question...
00:14:53
Speaker
It had has been surprising. It has been. Because we the other two people in the room have seen the film in question. so Interesting. interesting great Great pick, Kurt. Thank you. Great pick. I would recommend that film. Yeah. Maybe I will watch it sometime. I think it's i think it's more about the characters and the violence. but I suppose.
00:15:19
Speaker
ah Next up, we got this question, which I'm regretting more and more every week, but maybe we'll get a good answer someday. Do you have a favorite guilty pleasure band or performer?
00:15:32
Speaker
um You know, one that I'd be embarrassed to admit about. I suppose, you know, the closest thing is I do like
00:15:43
Speaker
kind of emo rock. I like Fall Out Boy and Parramore and Panic at the Disco. or Bands, I all like those bands. You gotta pick one of them. I would guess Fall Out Boy. okay Great pick, great pick. How embarrassing.
00:16:04
Speaker
Kurt, this is a serious question. right What is the largest animal you could knock out with one punch? oh
00:16:17
Speaker
Wow. um Geez, i think I think the largest animal that I could knock out with one punch
00:16:30
Speaker
Doc that it's some kind of dog. Let's say let's say let's say Doc soon. No, that's a small dog. I could take a doc suit. Let's do a Great Dane. It's there if I just wind up lay into it gets to know the pressing knock out a great Dane. If you get it right under the chin, right? Yeah. Okay. That's a really silly question, but I took it seriously. So there you have it. Thank you, Kirk. If we gave you more punches, do you think you could take out a bigger animal? Yeah. If I could land as a combination of blows, say like a two or three punch combo. Yeah. I think it would do like, we would do a jab, we would do a cross, we would do a hook and then maybe an upper cut. Yeah.
00:17:21
Speaker
And then so you you with that, you could go from a great day into silverback. Sure. Silverback. Did you see the movie Nope? No, I haven't seen it. there a good never mind Is Is it good? I would say, yeah. OK.
The Simpsons as a Personality Test
00:17:51
Speaker
What is your litmus test television show? So this is why I had to think about it a lot because I wasn't sure what kind of a litmus test we were doing. And then I realized the spirit of the question is just me, you know, the most me thing. So I had to come back to The Simpsons. It has to be The Simpsons. That has to be the greatest show. That has to be the most me show.
00:18:17
Speaker
um So it's The Simpsons. If you like The Simpsons, there's a good chance we'll get along. Yeah. That's it. That's the spirit of the question. Thank you, Kurt. You nailed it. All right.
00:18:34
Speaker
They're still going, right? I believe so. It's like 35 years now or something. I saw it. They did an episode recently where apparently it's it was the final episode.
00:18:50
Speaker
But it's not the final episode. It's just the end. I guess the episode was like how the show will it add. Oh, yes. who know So sort of when you have you have the last show that every other show they make is essentially a prequel.
00:19:12
Speaker
That's right. And Brynn won't watch any of it. Yeah. she So they're in, they're into their prequel. Uh, phase. Yeah. Era. Prequel era. Yeah. That's like middle age, right? Where you go back. pretty It is midlife crisis for the show. Uh, thanks Kurt. Thanks Jeff. That has been five questions. there Was that all five?
00:19:40
Speaker
it's all five so darn it well I guess to just go one mile further I do spend a lot of time on the reddit but I'm not a member I just read people's stuff okay Kurt is giving us a bonus answer his brand favorite random social media wormhole is reading it on reddit
00:20:06
Speaker
Yeah, I'm only there for work purposes, but it is an interesting system to upvote good answers and downvote bad ones. Kirk, did you ever use Digg? D-I-G-G? Yeah, I did the same thing on that site and on a site called FARC dot.com. Yep. That was kind of how I perused the internet for some time. Sure. So you were you were a lurker. Yes.
00:20:37
Speaker
Pretty prominent one. As prominent as someone without an account can be. I like it. You see all, know all, contribute none. That's how I do it. So no judgment here. Well, that's been six questions. Thank you. Thank you, Kurt. Thanks.
00:21:04
Speaker
ah Next up, Jeff, let's look in at the division showdown. The little Lebowski Urban Achievers versus Expect to Loose against us. Going into the weekend, Expect to Loose against us was up 2-1. This was a pretty big showdown. Steelhouse versus the 5-0 firsts.
00:21:28
Speaker
i Don't know do we want to do like I do we want to Just talk about the division showdown here. Do we want to like give our one things on that? Oh, we should probably move the division showdown to later in the show tune in Stay tuned to see how that went. Yep. Are we taking a station break? No, I do want one. Yeah, let's cut the legs and like that
00:22:13
Speaker
Nothing works like it does in the movies. Yeah. Like I took a dog into my basketball team because I thought that it was going to have more skill than anyone. was easily two year basketball team i got I signed up a dog for my basketball team because we needed a boost. And then this dog turned out to be the easily the worst player on the team. Easily. He didn't do anything right. And he spent most of the time trying to struggle his way out of his jersey.
00:22:40
Speaker
And the refs kept blowing their whistles and telling him he had to shape up and ship out. The dog just went nuts. Yeah, I mean... Couldn't pass, couldn't dribble. Traveling violations like you wouldn't believe. And he's not even my dog.
00:22:55
Speaker
And we're back. Now, we are... Jeff, how how much show have we recorded? Uh, 22 minutes. So we got human minutes we got ah we got about a 10 spot. Yeah, we do.
00:23:07
Speaker
Well, this is a section of our show called One Thing, but it's it's gone through some changes this year. We'll see how long we stick with this version. but we're Jeff and I have each prepared one thing to say about each of the fantasy matchups, and we have Kurt here to chime in whenever he wants. Maybe he'll have something to say about the very first one. What? Are you ready, Kurt?
00:23:34
Speaker
Yeah, let's take a look. did you It hurts when I pee. Also, it's time to talk about the matchup between DX, Fugg's Ache, and it hurts when I pee. Well, last week's matchup. Well, fuck. That's right. We're not looking ahead anymore. We're all about looking back. It was a respectable showing for Kamen.
00:24:01
Speaker
but it's got to hurt when you spent 21 bucks on a guy who gets you negative points. Yeah, that was just comical, you know. um I was as surprised as anyone to see that. Don't you think Carson Steele looks and sounds like he should change careers and shift to being a B movie action hero? Yeah, Steele with a B. Strong.
00:24:30
Speaker
Cigar aviators sure fucking beret thing, but no one really believed he was gonna be a um What surprised me most about this was Was goth, you know because he had been underperforming for me. I actually thought I would lose this game Going into Monday night
00:25:01
Speaker
Because Darnold did so well, I thought, okay, this is it. Darnold had his night. I left him on the bench, of course. But you said it. You said leaving him on the bench has been working well for you so far. I did. And if I would have lost, I would have accepted it happily. And God, I would have done the same thing again. But I did. So here we are.
00:25:26
Speaker
is your secret weapon sitting on the bench. give That's right. co war Of course, I had to play him this week. who's Who are you going to use this week, Kurt? I have to use Sandar on this one. So you were 25 points over your projections, largely to Derek Henry. So kudos to you. Good drafting there. i um Andy gave me an extra point here. Every player drafted before Derek Henry at 11 trails Derek Henry and fantasy points this season.
00:25:56
Speaker
Well, that's right with that. That's extra good drafting. Thanks. I mean, it just goes to show what can happen when you have a faith in a man. It's true. And Andy and I can see the faith that you have in the man, um but I think the listeners can hear the faith you have in the man. Yes.
00:26:19
Speaker
I want to really feel that and just pull that shit out of you, right? Yes. All right. Next up, Yellow Jackets versus Gold House. It was a yellowish off, you might say. Let's see here. Yeah. so So, Andy, the house started Browns and it turned gold. you know How? Well,
00:26:45
Speaker
That's Ken Walker magic. Ken Walker the third magic there. um Yeah. Ken Walker. it's It's the second year in a row that Dunkers beat me with a Ken Walker explosion.
00:27:01
Speaker
It's funny how that stuff works out. That doesn't get enough coverage on the yeah ESPNs. and No, no. yeahs like it It was because of this league specific fantasy matchup. Right. Yeah. Ken Walker's popularity is just sky high now. Definitely.
00:27:20
Speaker
Um, Jeff, your third, your third round, Anthony Richardson pickup might be the kiss of death, but I'll remind our listeners that, uh, Kurt here drafted Joe Flacco in the same round. Yeah. His teams at five and three. So anything's possible. Yeah. Yeah. The Richardson, uh, Richardson to the bench is the move now. Um, I'm hoping he is like Sam Darnold. My good luck charm going forward.
00:27:48
Speaker
is This is a good centerpiece. Just kind of keeps the place tidy back there. He knows he knows he's got he's got to get back in my good graces, so he's going to work harder. This next one is close to my heart.
00:28:06
Speaker
And I'd like to just say, um, nice work, Brian bidding $38 more than, uh, than the next guy, which was me for Wix. Um, I guess having the lowest score of week five really triggered you. To Brian, the thing, one of the things I noticed on that 180 as I was looking at our, uh,
00:28:35
Speaker
award tracking spreadsheet yeah is that the three highest waiver reaches week two Baker Mayfield by Jared he overbid by $13 second highest bidder Andy week four week three Derek Carr by Nick $17 over the next highest bidder Andy oh Week four, Dontavian Wicks by Brian, $38 over, the next highest bidder, Andy. Okay, so so waivers have already processed for the Wednesday waiver period. right But the Saturday waiver period is coming up. Because I don't think anybody bid $39 or more than you on anyone this week, right? Unless i'm but I missed something.
00:29:32
Speaker
No, you're right. i This is either it's either a referendum on my bidding or or the general league propensity to overvalue these waiver pickups. So we'll see. We'll see how it plays out, I suppose. I think Brian's going to be sad.
00:29:56
Speaker
Um, when he's, you know, out of money because he can't, he can bid $38 on some, sorry, he can no longer bid $48 on anybody. Yeah. He's now capped at 44. So Brian attention league, Brian is only going to make one more waiver wire pickup for the season. And then he's done.
00:30:20
Speaker
he's cut So he could have outbid, tra of the Trey Sermon bid from Jarrett, because Jarrett bid $37. So Brian could have outbid on that.
00:30:31
Speaker
yeah That's how we should look at these from now on. Can Brian help it? That's a great idea. It's a great benchmark to just know where the reasonable level would be. Right. If if Brian, say Brian has one QB and he loses him and you look at the next, at the best QB that week, you can just bid 45 bucks and you know you got him. You know you got him because Brian can't can't top you.
00:31:02
Speaker
Good thing Brian doesn't listen to this show. Right. Um, it was, it was like projected as the second closest margin or second tightest margin. Oh, it was. Uh, yeah, but it was a 20 point blowout. Um, Brian did have 15 on the bench, right? Uh, I think. Um, so he could have got, he could have captured a little bit closer. It's all, you know, 16.8. So, you know,
00:31:30
Speaker
That's management, I guess. um But Andy, are you have you thought about a name change now that Justin Fields is leading the church?
00:31:45
Speaker
you'll remember me while the west wind moves I mean, I'm just saying it's out there for you. Thanks, Jeff. We got to move on though. Yep. Yep. Next, the next matchup cousin versus Monday Garfield, uh, which I guess I spelled car field. Nobody knows that you didn't have to share, but thank you for your honesty. Yeah. Um, Josh Allen shit, the bet Andy, um, by a wider margin than Mike negative points, Kasiki and Zach still won. Uh,
00:32:20
Speaker
wow Yeah. so jo So Josh, Josh Allen's forecast on that one, um, was 20.76 points and he came up with a 7.3 points. Um, but Zach was facing, uh, on the Monday, gar Monday car field, uh, had Derek Carr and Derek Carr's number one receiver, I guess now is Rashid Shahid. Um, but she heed,
00:32:49
Speaker
And he picked up 16.3 points and Carr ah played for the Monday car fields, picked up 9.06 points. And I think, ah I think Shaheed, if I'm doing the math correctly, outscored Carr on returning yards alone with 92 return yards. Oh, cause we added that this year, right? Yeah. So he should have gotten 9.2 points wow on returning yards. so Wow.
00:33:19
Speaker
That's quite the point. Thank you, Jeff. Nick, I got to say it was a very nice bid for Josh Downs. You beat me by three dollars. It's not going to win you the prize, but maybe Downs is the answer to your prayers. As long as Anthony Richardson doesn't play, aye you can start. You can start Josh Downs, but the little bubble next to his name, and Nick says he's starting this week. So Flacco back to the bench.
00:33:49
Speaker
Flacco going back. Oh, yeah. Hey, next we got five. Oh first is versus Steelhouse Tom Tom got cream hunt just in time to avoid spending any fab on him. It's pretty impressive as he sits at Rank one in our league and still has $95 of his fab And Tom finally parted ways with Watson after his roster rate dropped 22% in Yahoo! leagues. And all of those 22% are Cleveland homers. I think he'll be there for you, Tom, if you ever change your mind. It's possible. It's possible. Losses this season in football comine to combined, Combined.
00:34:36
Speaker
Justin Fields, Geno Smith, Baker Mayfield, and Sam Darnold have combined to lose two games. Deshaun Watson has lost three.
00:34:49
Speaker
now those are Those are good stats. Those are valid stats. So in that matchup, it was the 501st for Steelhouse Andy. And every now and then, you do lose by 46.99 points like 501st did. And periodically, when you lose by that many, you'll have 54.68 points on the bench. um It'll happen to all of us from time to time. So congratulations, Tom. Much deserved victory.
00:35:22
Speaker
um But maybe not. Maybe not so deserved. Maybe not. People are getting scared of the steel house, you know? It's like the Belichick effect. Right, trying stuff. Yeah. Trying stuff they don't have to. That's right. Next we got walking wounded versus kill the wounded. I see there's some name play. Team name play is continuing. Oh, yeah. Yep.
00:35:54
Speaker
Speaking of Matt was chasing last week's points instead of, uh, favoring the best match ups here. Hindsight would put swift in the lineup over Hopkins. And, um, that's all I got to say about that. So, so does that mean like with that logic, Matt's gonna, who is Matt going to start swift over this week? ah Quick question for you. Um, Jared, Jared has made a lot of, uh, made a lot about having a lot of injuries, Andy, um, which does suck. Uh,
00:36:25
Speaker
And he only has one guy that doesn't fit on the irs like in his IR space right now, because he's got two guys that could be IR'd, Pacheco being the second one, um who has like an undisclosed leg injury or lower leg injury. So I don't know. Maybe he could probably just cut Pacheco. I don't really know what his deal is going to be. But he did have a nice pickup ah of Juwan Jennings for $27, week four's top scoring player.
00:36:54
Speaker
but didn't count because he wasn't a roster. Was it week three stop scoring? Week threes, yes. Week threes. One thing I forgot to say is Matt, you could have won with your best lineup even if Jared played his best lineup. So that one really hurts. Those are so painful and those happen. And we are tracking those, Kurt. We're tracking those losses. He still didn't have the most points on the bench though, right? Correct. He did not. But we're tracking how many games you could have and should have won. You idiot.
00:37:37
Speaker
Okay, currently Cody could have and should have won two games. Andy could have and should have won two games. So Cody and Andy, you are the biggest idiots in the league. Congratulations. Next up, we got Tenenba versus, hey, speak of the devil, C2A.
00:37:59
Speaker
yeah Cody, just like I said, he left 14.2 on the bench. It's the pits can be your new team model and that is also the name of our home Wi-Fi if you're ever in town.
00:38:14
Speaker
um Because we live on pits lane. Oh, nice. That's why not because you're a big pits fan. No. Kyle pits, not Pittsburgh. Andy, yeah I don't know if you know, but and NBA training games opened up this week and you just can't beat the NBA. So thanks, Jeff. That's been one thing.
00:38:35
Speaker
Now we've mentioned some awards tracking here and there, and I hinted at this earlier, but for the worst manager update, Cody, you've left 74.2 points on the bench this season. You are actually the runner up to the worst manager in the league. You know who that is, Jeff?
00:38:59
Speaker
Who's that? Fucking me. That's right. Our special guest, Kurt. Now by one metric. you You've left the most points on the bench that could, if you had optimized your lineup, right, you would have you would have been stronger. But by a completely different metric, Cody and Andy could have two more victories than they would have otherwise. So there is some debate internally on how this should proceed ah next year. we I think we're going to use that
00:39:33
Speaker
as a tiebreaker. um But there won't be a tie because we're in the decimals here. So Kurt, you know, if you keep on this track, you'll also get $10 for leaving the most points on your batch bench. Congratulations. Yeah, that is the league we're in. Exactly. Jeff, can you cover the next one? Just briefly?
00:39:58
Speaker
Uh, the closest free agent pickup. Oh yeah. Where do you, where do you mention that one? we' mentioned So okay we're good there. All right. Onto the playoffs.
00:40:09
Speaker
For the little Lavoski's urban achievers, Tom is still in pole position, followed by Nick Cagle. Thunk has moved up two spots. Is that what that means? Up two spots, Jeff? Yep. Thanks for preparing this for me. Thunk has moved up two spots. Zoe has moved up two spots. And you guys are all locked for the playoffs. I mean, if the playoffs started tomorrow.
00:40:36
Speaker
Right, yep, playoffs tomorrow, locked in. ah Expect to lose to us, has a new top ah of the table. Ekam has moved ahead of Tim. Tim's in second, so that's Ekam up one, Tim down one. Jarrett has also climbed up one, and Kurt, must be a plus two, because Kurt wasn't in the playoffs last week.
00:41:02
Speaker
Or maybe somebody went from three to five I guess but I have Jared plus one and Kurt plus one so Yeah, okay, that's your top four Kurt you're in the playoffs what yeah if if they started today Don't get it twisted they I bet you're wondering how I got here in the playoffs today. You know we are. Kurt, in 30 seconds or less, what's your secret to a 5-3 record? I always feel like somebody's watching me.
00:41:51
Speaker
Well, any final thoughts from
