Speaker 2:What is up, my dudes? This is Trent with the Fantasy Football Dudes podcast. I am joined by Jordan Seth and Phil is back. We are going to recap week four. Maybe Taka Tad bit about waivers, where we were right, where we were wrong, who hurt us the most? More NFL news and talks. Remember, we will be back tomorrow. I will be back tomorrow with some waiver ads, more waiver ads, but we'll be back on yeah, I'll be back on Phil how we doing buddy, you know you have a good weekend. You know, just do a little quick weekend recap here.
Speaker 3:Doing good, pal. Just yeah, doing all right. I just got back from Southern California and, yeah, just just grinding away. Coached a soccer game on Saturday, Got a elite group of under six year olds that I coach. So just grinding away on that, Other than that, just chilling. Got to visit with some family today and, yeah, overall was pretty good. You know I was yeah, we can talk about this a little bit later but yeah, overall pretty good. Just, you know, just laying back and relaxing.
Speaker 2:Seth, how we doing. You know you were feeling a little bit under the weather. That's part of the reason we decided to go remote. We didn't think it'd look good if Seth had his mask on for the pod for YouTube. But how we doing, seth?
Speaker 4:Yeah, I just took it off. Right now I even wear it in my own house. And yeah, I woke up in my car too. Yeah, I always rent in the car, even if I'm not sick.
Speaker 1:So that's cool.
Speaker 3:What about while you're harvesting berries.
Speaker 4:I don't harvest berries, but yeah, I would when everyone yeah.
Speaker 3:When you wear those big, when you drive those big, those big things that you drive like cross the lines basically Drive harvesters. Seth's a harvester. I thought those were berry harvesters that you drive.
Speaker 4:Yeah, but I usually don't drive when they're like harvesting, you know that's good, I just transport them from.
Speaker 2:A to B. He's a transporter, Phil. Huge difference.
Speaker 3:He's an international harvester. Have you seen this guy straight up, tank topped out and driving on like one of the busiest, one of the busiest highways in all of Central?
Speaker 4:Valley. It's the only way to get a decent tan. So I mean, if you're on there for an hour, might as well get a tan while you're doing it. So are you just potting it up?
Speaker 3:Are you listening? I'm sorry, we even never talked about this on the pod you just potted up. What do you do when you're out there? Smile and wave at the easels Usually.
Speaker 4:I'll have a podcast lined up. So usually I'll know like oh, I got to move like four machines today. It's going to take like six hours.
Speaker 2:So I just find like three podcasts and line it up you know you should not be listening to a podcast when you're driving equipment that big worth that much money.
Speaker 4:Seth. You should have 10 miles an hour Trent.
Speaker 3:And also, all of a sudden. All of a sudden, are you, his boss, Trent. Like, who are you? What is this guy doing? He doesn't know what you're doing. Like, hey, Trent, when's the last time you've transported one of those harvesters?
Speaker 4:That's like. I don't trust you to drink coffee and drive, much less wear a helmet when you're doing it either.
Speaker 2:So yeah, here's the deal.
Speaker 3:I am going to brush his teeth with a light on to make sure he gets everything Like I, just like. Hey, here's the deal. I'm for his struggle singing and having his eyes closed.
Speaker 1:I'm a guy we're talking about.
Speaker 3:You don't need to be instructing anyone how to drive a a machine.
Speaker 2:I am for cliff certified. No one else on here is that? Okay, Phil, you probably know me.
Speaker 4:No, I am certified for what it's worth.
Speaker 2:Do you know it like yeah, you've seen all those videos.
Speaker 3:Jacket in the hot tub like I can't believe that any of that. What you just said is accurate. It is a life jacket, oh my goodness Jordan.
Speaker 2:How are we doing, man? You know you hanging in there.
Speaker 5:Yeah, yeah, no, it's you know that saying like, if you don't have anything good to say, don't say it all. That's how I feel about this Sunday. I don't have anything good to say, so I won't say it at all. I'm just kind of rough.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I understand you saw me this Sunday, though. We had a good conversation, friendly conversation. What I said? You saw me this Sunday, had a friendly conversation when we walked by each other at church. Gave me some fashion advice.
Speaker 5:Yeah, I told you, just not wearing those chimes you wore the last five.
Speaker 3:You can't even remember it. It's not rough of a day. Yeah, it was that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean, jordan looks like he needs some sleep.
Speaker 5:It's been a rough day, I think my, you know the only good thing about this weekend was, you know, my diamond backs qualified for the Clutch postseason. What did you talk about? I had to play Seth Dodgers.
Speaker 4:We'll see about that. We have to go to a game. Yeah, I think we might have to go if they get to LA. So is that?
Speaker 3:a common thing. Do people say qualified for the playoffs? I think they usually. That's just me. I've never heard anyone say that.
Speaker 2:But maybe that's the thing you are an angels fan.
Speaker 3:So I don't know, if you know, I'm not an angels fan. By blood I'm an angel, yeah.
Speaker 2:The angels. Yeah, not to get baseball, but you know the angels lost more than what is it. The A's had a better record than the angels. Like that's pretty sad.
Speaker 5:Imagine having the two best players in baseball on your team and not even getting close to the playoffs.
Speaker 2:Yeah, these two guys. You know they're wearing Dodgers. I'm wearing a Dodgers hat, jordan's wearing D-back shirts, seth's wearing a Dodgers shirt. But look at this right here. I went to the Auburn Georgia game this weekend, had a good time. A lot of people were pointing at this shirt. Lots of little kids thought it was really cool. Bucky's right there. Phil, like you can check that out on YouTube at TFF dudes. but this was all this was all the rage at the Auburn Georgia game. Everyone was pointing at this. They all thought it was cool. The War Eagles I think that's their mascot. They almost got it done but yeah, it was a lot of fun, but we probably need to get into these. Yeah, Bucky's, I'm going to get Phil really good, my uncle got you can't miss that?
Speaker 3:Did you get barbecue there? Is that, is it different? I had imagined the one I went in Texas is probably different than the one you went to.
Speaker 2:No, I got a little rushed at Bucky's and this is middle class paradise. Honestly, it's huge. I almost bought a mascot outfit.
Speaker 4:Trailer class no no, it's way higher, it's way higher than that. So I went. I'm the kind of person I imagined when I walked through the doors. I just see you. I actually have a picture shaking the statues hand.
Speaker 2:I wish I had it for the pod to show on here, but no, it was great. My uncle got a brisket burrito like it. It's just a good time. You know, they got the huge beef jerky selection. I spent about 10 minutes there. I easily could have spent 45 minutes there, but you only spent 10 minutes there. We had to go to the tailgate. We had to go to Tiger walk. We were on a tight. We were on a tight schedule.
Speaker 3:You actually haven't been to Bucky's if you were only there for 10 minutes. I'm just letting you know that's how I feel, first time.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Well, hey, Phil you live in. Bucky's. Phil, you've been to Bucky's, you have a t-shirt.
Speaker 3:I. I got a collage, so I did enjoy their, their, their. I got a key chain.
Speaker 1:What the?
Speaker 5:heck is a collage.
Speaker 3:It's basically like a breakfast biscuit sausage.
Speaker 5:Have you ever heard of those? What A breakfast. Biscuit sausage, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:I went to Bucky's. I got a collage. No one gets those there. That's really lame.
Speaker 3:I don't do it in Texas, that's a Texas thing, look it up I know what it is.
Speaker 2:It is a Texas thing. I know what it is.
Speaker 5:What do you mean? Breakfast biscuit sausage? Like you mean a breakfast sausage biscuit.
Speaker 3:No, it's hard to describe. It's like think of a hot dog but all encapsulated and then like cheddar sausage or like cheddar sausage jalapeno, and it's like kind of like their thing, like there's there's multiple different kinds, like there's a variety of different kinds of collage. I believe it's pronounced Colossi trend is not Colossians.
Speaker 2:Like the Bible, it's Colossi, I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 1:I think it's Colossi. Is it German?
Speaker 2:I thought it was German or Polish. I wasn't sure. I'm not.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I could be wrong, but someone's screaming at us right now that we're absolutely completely off.
Speaker 2:But hey, let's get into week four. Guys, you know, like for week four, yeah, we, it was a, it was an interesting week I would say, you know, would we all agree with that? No, yes, no.
Speaker 4:No comment Of anything.
Speaker 3:the shocker, would you guys say? Maybe not the shocker? We had some close games. Jets, Jets Chiefs had a close game. I don't want to talk about the Jets, they look decent though. Today the I think the commanders played shockingly well, right, I mean we. I think they played closer to their potential. Would you guys agree? Disagree to that?
Speaker 2:Maybe Sam Howe showed a little bit closer to his potential.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, robinson had a good game. Yeah, I Jordan you were talking to me about this earlier Like maybe you aren't sure what to think of the Eagles.
Speaker 5:Yeah, I mean I think they're OK. I just don't know, like, how good they are. Like I think I kind of know how good the Niners are, but kind of everyone else in the NFC, I just don't really know how good they are. I kind of feel like that same way about the Cowboys, a little bit Trent, like just I don't know how good they are. Like I think I know both teams are good, I just don't know like how good like the Niners, like they're dominant. I still have questions with Brock Purdy. You know, like what can he do in a game where the other team can kind of meet them offensively and maybe no one can? So he may not do that all year long. I think at some point Brock Purdy is going to have to make plays. I just don't know. It may not be the playoffs he has to do that. Well, it's Super Bowl, for all I know, but I don't know, but like I'm not good. The Eagles and the Cowboys are yeah.
Speaker 2:They said that I don't think Debo Samuel caught a pass today, I mean he was hers.
Speaker 4:I think, yeah, I just think they didn't need to use them, so they just said whatever.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I also saw a meme that said Brock it was a picture of Harry Potter like in a little shack I've never seen the Harry Potter movies, but it said it was a picture of Harry Potter like all like in a little tiny room. And it said Brock Purdy living Brock Purdy's house on a $900,000 a year salary. I thought that was pretty funny. You know with how expensive everything is up there in the Bay. But we aren't sure about the Eagles. He said Jordan things. Everything I am sure of is the modern man, and the modern man's a man who takes care of himself.

Then we'll go into who hurts you and some other news and noteworthy stuff from this weekend. Do you think that's the best thing we should do?
Speaker 3:I think that's probably the best, and we kind of I, so I'm going to. I started talking about the commanders. I eventually wanted to uh, to kind of segue over that, but we'll talk about one of actually probably cli our second biggest win in terms of our starts and stits. Sit, excuse me, I'm going to give it to you, jordy, with Terry McClaren, you want to talk about that? Start a little bit.
Speaker 5:Yeah, I think I get. I got a little bit lucky um with it just because he recovered a fumble for a touchdown, so like that boosted. But he still had eight, eight catches for 86 yards, 10 targets. So the volume was there. Got a little bit lucky with that fumble recovery for a touchdown. But how many points did he have in half point? He had 18. So he has 12 without the touchdown. Yeah, that's not great. Um, hey, better be lucky than he had?
Speaker 3:No, he had it happen. Did he have it? No, he didn't. Oh될.
Speaker 2:Yeah he did so he fell on a fumble. So he fell on a fumble in the end zone, phil.
Speaker 3:OK, yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he's a commander's on a really good smash spot. This upcoming week they play the commanders and just to get ahead of things by weeks, this week we do have by weeks the Browns, Chargers, Bucks and Seahawks will all be on a buy for week five.
Speaker 3:Yeah, just for what it's worth. I'm not seeing Terry McLaren registering any, registering any touchdown, whether you look at player stats.
Speaker 4:It's not in there, it's a fumble recovery. It's not like a receiving or rushing, it's a fumble recovery.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I think it's not even on sleeper that even registered a touchdown. But yeah, I mean he did. Sounds like he did cover a fumble in the end zone, but for a touchdown. So yeah, I mean to some extent, jordan, you got a little bit lucky there, but 18 points not bad.
Speaker 5:Yeah, not bad.
Speaker 3:Alrighty, moving on here, let's, let's go. I'm going to go with a sit just to get it over with here. Seth, I know you probably want to put yourself out of your misery. We're going to talk about Mark Andrews a little bit. You want to. You want to go into that?
Speaker 4:So I know me and Trent talked about this after saying like yeah, they might force feed Mark Andrews because they're going to need to and I know to, like their starting receivers didn't play and I know Zade flowers, I said, would have a good game and I think he had a decent game if it's going to load. But anyways, he went for you Three catches for 56. So not anything good. But Mark Andrews out of monster game he had five for 80 and two touchdowns. So I mean I guess if he has five for 80, like you're not, what is that? That 10 points and the and the difference is 12 more right With the two touchdowns. Uh, they just relied on Mark Andrews and I think a big part of that Lamar did run quite a bit, like I said he would, but I think that's what freed open Mark Andrews. He extended some plays, he ran the ball to keep drives going and then Mark Andrews would get open. So I think Trent kind of predicted that one after I made him my sit. But y'all take the L here.
Speaker 2:Andrews had two really nice touchdown catches. You know he had the one in the corner than one where Lamar kind of ran around. But yeah, it looked like Mark Andrews kind of returned to form maybe today and the Browns really just didn't look good. You know we had the DTR.
Speaker 4:The problem was they looked so good the last three games. They're defense, yeah.
Speaker 2:Do you and DTR not? Our DTR got the start Jordan. I was kind of curious to see how that would go. Watson was a scratch. The Browns did not look good. They look like they're. Yeah, dtr, dorian Thompson Robinson. He had one fantasy point today 36 attempts, 19 completions, 121 yards, three interceptions. There was a little bit of Twitter hype on DTR. You know the last couple of weeks what he would do with that opportunity. I think Watson is not. I have a dynasty league, deep one. I picked up DTR this morning just when I heard the news, saying like hey, maybe something crazy happens, but definitely I don't think he's the guy. Well, same game here.
Speaker 3:Trent, you kind of had a, I you had, I think you had a win here with one of your sits in terms of the the running backs, the Ravens running backs. You want to talk about that a little bit? Yeah, I, I just didn't feel good with the matchup and I also don't really just know what's going on there.
Speaker 2:Gus Edwards had 15 attempts for 48 yards. That's not going to cut it. The volume was definitely there. And who's the other guy? Justice Hill? It doesn't seem like anyone really played that well in that backfield. Am I, am I wrong on that? Jordan to Justice Hill? He didn't even. He had three attempts for 33 yards. This is a mess. Yeah, I I don't know what to do with this backfield. I think Lamar just has to take over. I didn't like the matchup. Tough little stretch of games here. The Raven, I don't know, maybe it's not tough, but I really not interested in playing the Ravens running backs. Even this week against the Browns. Did Lamar have a rushing touchdown? He had, he had to the. He had two rushing touchdowns. I mean. Help Melvin.
Speaker 3:I mean he had two rushing touchdowns. I mean help, Melvin Gordon had as many carries as Justice Hill Trent, Like they both had three. Gus Edwards is the guy who had the most carries, but even still Justice Hill had second most rushing yards. Then Melvin Gordon was actually below Lamar Jackson, so it's kind of a it's. I don't know, do you count that as a as a win, though, Because Lamar is basically a running back at this point. No, I would. Yeah, I count that as a win for who I said not to sit?
Speaker 2:Lamar Jackson, I'm very high on Still and back to, he has 22 points, 30 points 28 points. He's playing really good right now. He's QB eight on the season. I think those numbers are going to just keep getting better. Speaking of speaking of running backs you hit on, you want to talk about Josh Jacobs.
Speaker 3:You came with me rushing around. Is there anything? Anything you wanted to go? Or do you want to talk about a running back that you just completely missed? No, let's go. I got Jacobs right now. You know I'm on a hot one right now. The listeners you know I'm on a hot one right now.
Speaker 2:The listeners. You know we still got them here, hopefully, and if you are listening, give us a follow at TFF dudes on Instagram, Twitter and YouTube. Give us that thumbs up and subscribe on YouTube. Guys, that really helps us out. And remember, don't be rude, Share the dudes. Josh Jacobs I really liked this spot here. I liked it even more this morning when I saw that Jimmy Garoppolo wasn't playing, that they had eight in O'Connell. But yeah, it was a great matchup for Josh Jacobs. He had a. He only had a rushing touch. He had 17. Really, he didn't have a great rushing game. He went 17 for 58 where he really did get his. He had 11 targets, eight receptions, 81 yards receiving. So those half point PPR, PPR games. Josh Jacobs really helped you a lot. He's RB 28 on the season, but I think he's going to start to get going here.
Speaker 1:Pretty.
Speaker 2:It was a closer game than what it should have been. I thought with the Raiders here, but they made it a good game. What were you going to say, Phil?
Speaker 3:He didn't. When I saw him, trent and maybe you guys would disagree here I didn't think he looked that bad Like did you?
Speaker 2:say he didn't look great Well on the on the ground. He had 13,. He had 17 attempts for 58 yards. He averaged 3.4 yards per carry. It's just like where he saved years. He had 81 receiving yards with eight catches, 11 targets. It's just the rushing game Like, yeah, he looked good, he just didn't have the success on the ground. I thought he would have.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 4:He didn't have any big, and they're playing from behind the whole game too, yeah.
Speaker 3:What do you think about Aiden O'Connell? I know how much you love Jimmy G Jordan. Like what is he like? Like Jimmy G might be, it's like Jimmy G and Davis Mills might be your favorite players on any NFL roster. Like, what do you think about Aiden O'Connell there? You like him a little bit better for fantasy purposes.
Speaker 5:For what it's worth. I had like 70% of my volume on DraftKings today had Aiden O'Connell in the lineup, so uh. I'm sorry he did not know that he was also like literally like $4,000. Like the same price is like a men price running back. So like I mean you really didn't need much. I think he actually met value because he came on kind of late, had a rushing touchdown. He was not the reason I lost my A today, but um it, it, uh, I don't know. Like I thought he would. Honestly I thought he would do better than what he did. He kind of looked better in that last drive of the fourth quarter in the fourth quarter but it was ugly in the first half. He just had no time in the pocket and he holds on the ball too long yeah.
Speaker 2:Clio Mack had six sacks today.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no, it was filthy, it was so bad it was easy, it was bad.
Speaker 2:Uh, he almost brought them back he figured it out. Yeah.
Speaker 5:Yeah, he figured it out in the fourth quarter and, uh, yeah, I think it's a lot. It would have been in there in the first half. Vonte missed most of that first half. Uh, for sure, the whole second quarter that might have. Uh, that might have helped too.
Speaker 2:What happened with the Vonte Jordan? Was it just?
Speaker 5:uh, um, he uh his shoulder. I think he popped. Maybe stinger popped his shoulder. He said his shoulders very sore. Um, yeah, he basically said after the game that he put his big boy, big big boy pants on and came back in the game. He said other words but um, I don't know if you want me to say those words.
Speaker 2:Yeah, let's keep it. Let's keep it PG. Speaking of keeping it, pg, seth watched the whole toy story game. Seth, how was that? Did you like it?
Speaker 4:Uh, I mean at the very beginning, like it was there having technical difficulties, but I think they were like definitely like some cool moments. Like definitely like in between, like some plays it was like slow and not like very interesting, but like there was the one play where, like Bijan juke the guy and I was, I had the other broadcast up too and the toy story game was behind the broadcast a little bit and it was cool Like it. Like the mapping on it is actually pretty good. Like he did the exact same move and like even at the very end where he like put his arm out and like dropped the ball, it did that in the thing too. So I was like it's kind of cool, definitely some cool moments. But like overall I probably give it like a six to seven out of 10.
Speaker 2:So you would do the highlights were better.
Speaker 4:The highlights were good, yeah, yeah, if you were, then there's some fun moments too, if you were seven years old, you would love it, though, oh yeah, if you're a kid, you, you love it. Yeah, I think it's nice not having commercials. It like literally just has like toy story trivia, nfl trivia, a bunch of stuff like that and it was pretty cool. The other thing that was cool is know how many teams are. You know how many teams are like mascots of, like um are like an animal. I don't have 32. How many see there you go, and the more you know, it's 14.
Speaker 2:Interesting. What, uh? What about like slinky for the first downsides Did like Zerg streak or anything Like? What good things happened besides what you just said?
Speaker 4:Um, I mean there were different like. There were like some other interesting moments, like there's one like where you just be like playing and then all of a sudden you up. Those would come out of nowhere and Booger McFarney would be like what is going on? Like there's an alien invasion. You know, it was so, so funny, like different moments like that.
Speaker 3:So did you have donuts? I know you were pretty sold on dudes with donuts. Did you go get some donuts for this game or what's that?
Speaker 4:So I woke up feeling pretty terrible, but I was like I'm already up and I'm going to watch this game, so I got coffee and then, luckily, I had some muffins left over that I baked a couple of days ago.
Speaker 3:So I ate those. You baked the muffins, huh, yep, that's a power move there, seth, uh, all right, enough of Seth's baking. We should have uh baked with Seth. Uh on the, uh on the on the Wednesday I was talking about like all right yeah let's move on, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:Just you know, today's, what are you going to say?
Speaker 2:You know, it's just today's episodes brought to you by sleeper, the dude's favorite place to play fantasy sports. They got some picks on there, all kinds of good stuff. Jordan's been giving some plays on Twitter slash X, slash Instagram. Give him a follow at jmeta underscore 17. That's J M E H T A underscore 17. That's your promo code. Dudes 100 helps us out, guys, so go over to sleeper If your league is not already there. But they got some good fun plays there, so go check it out, guys. And yeah, phil, what else you got?
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, so we're uh, I kind of want to did. You guys see, and we're going to talk about this a little bit because I'm going to kick it over to to Jordan for James Connor, but he got into a little bit of a tussle the games are getting chippy today. Right, the Raiders, the Raiders, uh, the Raiders charters game got a little bit chippy. A guy named Diablo, I believe it was, kind of did like a little bit of a slam on the, uh, the punt returner, his name was Diablo. They said that on the on red zone. Speaking of red zone, actually, we're just I'm going to go off a little bit of tangent. I think it's gotten better. Jordan, would you agree?
Speaker 5:Uh, tad bit better.
Speaker 3:Tad bit better. Okay, I think it's gotten better, but uh. So there was that scrap O'Connor almost got into a fight, uh the uh at the end, or I think he did get into a little bit of a tussle Uh with, I think, someone on the the Niners defensive line, so let's just talk about that. He was your sit, I think you. You, uh, you hit the nail on the head here, but you want to talk about a little bit.
Speaker 5:Yeah, what did he have? He had like six, six point one, yeah. So he had 11 carries, 52 yards. So One catch, four yards on two targets. So I mean I the game actually will. The Cardinals actually, man, they're fighting hard, they play hard, they can they do so they actually they kept the game closer than I thought they would. But again, like it's just a tough, tough matchup for him and the he doesn't. He's not getting the volume in the passing game which I think he did last year, which is a little bit interesting to me. So he's more rushing dependent this year than he has, and maybe that's because Dopp is a better passer than whatever they had there last year. Like he's able to move the ball down the field and so like Marky's Brown's actually really playable this year. And I haven't been playing him and I think I haven't really been looking at him and I think I need to start looking at him more, just in general. But, um, yeah, I got there with Connor. I think it was a pretty good sit, so I was pretty right on that one yeah you're, you go ahead, trent.
Speaker 3:Yeah, no mark.
Speaker 2:Marquis Brown has three games in a row with at least 13 half point PPR points. They are playing really good. Joshua Dobbs is. He had 25 points against the Niners today. He had 17 versus Dallas. Last week he had 25 versus New York Giants not a terrible matchup for him. This upcoming week he's 9% rostered. The Cardinals are going. They're hosting the Bengals this week, so maybe another spot you can play him with some of these bye weeks I I don't know. You know what I mean, but Dobbs looks pretty good, you know, and you can't even buy his jersey at the games. You guys see that video.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:You can now buy it. They did a little segment on it on on an FL red or on red zone. Yeah smart move on his part doing that Smart move on his part. He's better than Kyler Murray. I think we can all agree to that. I don't think that I'm not joking. I don't think they play like Were you guys excited about Kyler Murray last season, even when he was healthy?
Speaker 2:No. After the video game? No, did he? He started out decent, though last year didn't he like his first two games? His first four, five, four out of five games he had at least 20 points, and then his last game. He had 25 points before and then he got 1726 2019.
Speaker 3:Yeah, he had a solid season and I think that he is.
Speaker 2:What is Kyler Murray's roster? What is he rostered right now? Phil, he's still rostered about 36, 36% rostered. He might be a guy that I don't know. You might. I don't know when he's available to come back, but it's definitely he might be a stash that this Cardinals team, like Jordan, said they fight, they play really hard, we scrappy, so I, I don't know, maybe, so I will we got we got Kyler Murray news this weekend.
Speaker 5:The news is that he will not come off the pup Eligible to come off the Pupless Monday, but that's not expected to happen. He's still considered weeks away from being able to play. Yeah, maybe a dynasty target.
Speaker 2:Yeah, maybe you can throw a third round to somebody or something, a super flex, I'm not sure, but Cardinals look pretty good, I will say.
Speaker 3:Yeah, he looked okay. I mean the I will. I'm gonna give Jordan a little bit of love here on a sit. That he said but did not. So you got a. You got to Recognize here. I listened to the pot at least a little bit. Jordan, you were saying that I was surprised that AJ Dylan wasn't your sit. He scored and I think we taught you guys talked about a little bit.
Speaker 5:He scored a total of 1.1 points the guy sucks I got, I can't make like as such an obvious sit. You know it's like, it's the equivalent to be like hey, you should start. You know, justin Jefferson, this week you should sit, aj, dylan, like they're like in the same ballpark of like things that you should. You could say you know, would you have said that last year though? No, but after three weeks of this year I can, I can say that definitively here from Okay, unless he's going up against a mascot.
Speaker 3:He's the main guy. Yeah, yeah so.
Speaker 5:Phil. He was the main guy for Three weeks or whatever two weeks and was horrible. And it was horrible again with Aaron Jones back. Like the guy's just not good, like he's, I Don't know it's, it's weird, but he's just not good. It bums me up.
Speaker 3:It is a. It is a little bit of a bummer. I am going to I'm gonna move over here to Seth. We're gonna talk about Zach Moss here. Seth, you want to? You want to jump into Zach Moss?
Speaker 4:Yeah, so I'm a bold this week and I said he would get, like I think I said 20 plus touches and he had Get 18, 18 yards for 70 and one target for and no catch. But what's interesting about this game is I actually thought it would be a lot closer but the Rams got ahead pretty early and then the Colts kind of had to come back and throw and In moss actually had a really bad game through the first half and in the second half he did really well when the game was closer, all the way up until, I think did they make it over time.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it went over. It went over time.
Speaker 4:Yeah. So I think if, like, if the game was closer in the first half, like I think Moss would have finished like a top 5 RB, like I said. But unfortunately the game was like out of hand, like within the first, like first half, where he had like Like I think he had one point or something like that through the first half and then in the second he had like eight points where you got all this carries and yards. So I think if that was consistently through the whole game, I think he would have had like a really good time. But I mean, nine is not good for a start number, but it's also like it didn't kill you.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and looking at the running back landscape of what today was. Yeah, that's interesting just to see that, let me.
Speaker 3:He did finish and all his projections Seth, just for what it's worth a touch down would have really helped you with him, though.
Speaker 4:Yeah, and I think I don't know what the Colts did in the red zone very much. I'm not sure who was the featured guy there.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no. Well, richardson, I think had a had a rushing touchdown.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah, that would be it then he didn't kill you.
Speaker 2:But yeah, he wasn't. He was middle of the pack, he wasn't. You know it wasn't. It wasn't a terrible running back week actually For running backs. Do you want to bounce over to minefield? Yeah, let's go ahead. So I had Juventa Williams as a start of the week and, honestly, he got hurt, which is a bummer. The Broncos fell behind. I actually thought they were gonna lose this game. They came back in one, but maybe a waiver ad Juventa, I think, to be out a couple weeks. But a Joe, is it? Jet Jalil, is that how you say it? Jordan Jalil McLaughlin, out of Youngstown State College, 2% rostered. He had 17 fantasy points, he had seven attempts for 72 yards, he had three catches and he caught a touchdown. So Jalil McLaughlin had a good game. I think this was a good spot for Juventa. He heard his hip. I think he's be out a week or two. From what I'm hearing right now, a lot can change and a lot of people thought P Rhin would be the guy, and even looking on a sleeper. Their depth chart was Juventa, simaje, dwayne Washington and Jalil ended up jumping Two of those guys on the roster. He's not even on the depth chart on sleeper for some reason. So Jalil McLaughlin he was. He had a solid game. Double-digit performance yeah, I, so that was a bummer there.
Speaker 5:A train. Sean. Sean Payton has talked about Jalil McLaughlin the last couple weeks about right how he wants to get a more involved. He's explosive, so I wouldn't be surprised if you see a lot of Jalil McLaughlin if Juventa's out.
Speaker 2:Yeah, maybe a waiver, add there.
Speaker 3:So did anyone watch that game?
Speaker 2:Yeah, bits and pieces who do the?
Speaker 4:who do they play next week?
Speaker 2:the Broncos play next week. They play the Jets.
Speaker 5:Hmm, garrett Wilson, big game yeah.
Speaker 2:I'm surprised how bad the Broncos defense is like. This game actually was a shootout. The Bears should have won. I had DJ Moore. He was my dude of the you know kind of guy. I was targeting all leagues. He had a great game. Did he have two touchdown catches? He looked pretty good. I still don't understand how the Bears lost this game other than they are just the Bears but one, two. Dj Moore's wide receiver five. At the moment of this recording he had nine targets for eight receptions, 131 receiving yards and one touchdown. Yeah, so I don't know, big, big game for Puka this week. I, I don't know like finally at his first career touchdown catch, he's on fire. But, phil, where do you? Who do you want to go to next year?
Speaker 3:Yeah, we're going to go. I'm going to go with Theland Seth. You had him as a start. He did exceed his projections here. I think we were you were hoping for a little bit more out of Theland, but I'm going to let you kind of go through this one.
Speaker 4:Yeah, he exceeded by one point is how it was.
Speaker 3:It looks like two.
Speaker 4:Right around to you. Yeah, so I know we had some. We had some lines on him too, some over unders. I know we hit the over on that. So I think we all expected Theland to have like a pretty good game. I honestly thought he would have a better game, probably more like a last week performance. I don't know about 26 points, but maybe like at 15 or more. So I think maybe we're just missing the touchdown there. But he had eight targets, seven catches, 76 yards. I just thought maybe he would be featured a little bit more. But 11 points, like I think that's okay for your start, but I think you kind of hope for more, the 15 or up range.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I can see what you're saying there a little bit Like if you're starting him or you're suggesting a start, you want him to be far to exceed the the projection by a little bit more. Yeah.
Speaker 4:And he, he is the like wide receiver one there. So like he's going to have better games than 11, like out of four games. His worst performance was week one with two Bryce Young's first game and then like his lowest score after that was this week at 11 and the next one was 16 and 26. So like it's one of his lower scores, like I think we can expect him to be like a feat the feature receiver there yeah, jordan.
Speaker 2:One thing, that. What were you saying, jordan?
Speaker 5:I was just saying I think Adam Thielen like going forward, he is a lot better PPR guy than half point or standard. Yeah, that extra four or five points in a PPR makes or three points makes makes a big deal. It's a big difference.
Speaker 2:The guy, kind of like Jordan, was Terence Marshall kind of started getting involved today. He had 10 targets for nine receptions, 56 yards. You know that's 10, 10 points and half point PPR. But it's not Terence Marshall that. Maybe that hurt Thielen a little bit, but that's a guy they kind of talked up all last season and this offseason. So good to see Terence Marshall get involved in that offense and that's with Bryce Young. I wonder how they, if they would have been a little different, if Dalton would have been the guy today, pick six help hurts those guys too right.
Speaker 5:Yeah and no Mingo, so that actually gives us a boost to. Terence Marshall, so I still think Mingo has a role in that offense. But shoot another good best ball day for me. Maybe that was the positive today. You know I got 50% Terence Marshall and best ball 50% Devin A-chan, so maybe that was the positive for today for me. Yeah, those two guys both had good games.
Speaker 2:Glass, half full Jordan. You know, look at the long game, not the short game. A-chan's on fire, though, like, most certainly did not have it, most certainly didn't have a good game.
Speaker 5:We might be seizing the change the guard there, and so I like to see their snap percentages. But he looks really good.
Speaker 2:Well, just looking at, I actually started A-chan over your start of the week, terry McClourn, at the last second this morning I was actually happy I did that. It was good and I wanted to play him, but I was like let's just put another running back here in here. But most of it had seven attempts for nine yards. He did have five targets for three receptions, but A-chan had and maybe he just was more efficient he had eight attempts, wow.
Speaker 3:Yep, but he had two TDs. He had two TDs.
Speaker 5:Yeah, and he busted off the wall and a hundred yards to run.
Speaker 3:Yeah, he had eight. Yeah, his average rushing is 12.6. So, like that's crazy, eight for he went, eight for a hundred and one.
Speaker 5:Yeah.
Speaker 2:RB six on the season. I'm a classic player you guys.
Speaker 5:Yeah, do I need to take A-chan off my taxi squad in my taxi, I think you do.
Speaker 4:I think you do now.
Speaker 5:Yeah.
Speaker 3:It's not worth it yeah, pull him off.
Speaker 4:Just watch, it's going to hurt you. Yeah, it's just one of those things.
Speaker 2:If they have two good games, you have to take them off. I took Puka off after two good games. Like sometimes it's just like it's just you can't do it. What were you saying, phil?
Speaker 3:No, no, no, I was just going to. If you keep it up, I was going to move over to the next one. I was going to move over to the next, the next thing there, but I know Jordan started that taxi squad combo.
Speaker 5:Well, I, I just want to like I think it's worth it because I've been a lot of people also in that league. I have Travis Etienne Alvin Kamara who, by the way, had 13 catches today. Wow, that might be one of the most like under the radar stat lines.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no one's talking about.
Speaker 5:Yeah, that's crazy. He only had 51 yards of rushing in 30, 33 yards on 13 catches. It's kind of impressive, honestly. Um, no, but yeah, so I have.
Speaker 2:Etienne Go ahead. No, just talking about that game. Carr did not. Maybe he shouldn't have played. They say he was a missed couple of weeks. He ended up playing. He had three fantasy points. Chris Alave just did terrible for my fantasy team. That was the guys that talk about in the who hurt you section is Baker. Baker looks very streamable guys Like uh, he had a good game. He did it without Mike Evans, who was Jordan sit of the week. Mike Evans ended up getting hurt. They have a great game, but Baker had 24 fantasy points. He went 25 for 32, three TDs, one pick, eight rushes, 31 yards. Uh, and I was watching his plays. His touchdown passes were pretty nice. He was making the most out of plays. I'm starting to get excited for Baker, but be still my heart Please stop saying that I can't stand it.
Speaker 3:All right, I'm going to move over.
Speaker 2:You have to admit, baker looked good. He didn't have. My heavens, I have no problem.
Speaker 3:I have no problem with you saying that Baker looked good. I have a problem with you saying be still my heart. You said that now two pods in a row.
Speaker 2:Okay, well, yeah, I don't want to be hurt.
Speaker 5:Text it like four days in a row.
Speaker 2:I text it every hour, every morning.
Speaker 3:My Diva of the week might be people who overuse slogans. And Trent, you're, your exhibit, a right there.
Speaker 2:Yeah, well, here's an idea Turn on your cell.
Speaker 4:A though in trance, one yeah.
Speaker 2:Turn on your selfie cam and look at yourself for exhibit a but a exhibit, that was such a thing, or Trent, I don't.
Speaker 3:I mean, I'll be able to continue this pod. All right, let's just let's look at. Do you want to know who hurt me today? You want to know who hurt me this Jets game?
Speaker 2:Do you want to know who will never hurt you? Well, and that is trophy smack. Trophy smack is the best place here. Fantasy football trophies. Well, they can hurt you. If you know someone gets you a last place punch there A better man's gate promo. Yeah, Technically that's not supposed to hurt you, but sometimes there's user errors. But a trophy smack, go to wwwtrophysmackcom forward slash dudes 15% off your whole entire order. If you need a championship belt, that Seth left here in the dude den. You need a last place ribbon, participation award, toilet seat necklaces, anything for fantasy football or any type of trophy, customized it. Do whatever you want. Trophy smack has you covered. Wwwtrophysmackcom forward slash dudes. They will not hurt you, I promise. So what were you saying, Phil? Or who was talking?
Speaker 3:I was talking, it would be me rudely interrupted. The person who hurt me. I'm going to give my who hurt me right now. That holding call on sauce, gardener Jets cheese was so bad it was like and we're going to talk about it because we're going to go into Jordan star here but that was such a bad call. Does anyone else agree with that Disagree? Like I did not think it was bad right and that would feel goal. Feel goal right. They have to kick a field goal there. I think it was third down. They're going to kick a field goal there. I don't think they're going for it. I think the Jets, I think Lut Wilson, zach Wilson, gets the ball downfield, they end up scoring a TD, winning that game. I am. It was such a bad call that those referees in that game, I would say, were pretty close to being terrible Like they were terrible, I would say for the most part. I think so many missed calls, so many bad calls is Taylor Wilson influencing games?
Speaker 2:That's all I want to know. Taylor Swift, taylor Swift Sorry, I'm looking at Zach Wilson. Zach Wilson had 21 fantasy points, sayla said, if he keeps playing like that.
Speaker 3:we're going to win games, Taylor Wilson.
Speaker 1:You feel I am so struggling.
Speaker 3:No.
Speaker 2:I'm not struggling. I made one error.
Speaker 3:It's 1130 central time where I just came from. It's like spare me, spare me. I don't want to hear this.
Speaker 1:Here's what I'm going to say. No, I don't yeah.
Speaker 2:Seth, let's be a little bit. Yeah, it is a cool shirt. Go to TFF dudes, check it out.
Speaker 3:You know what, buddy? It is a cool shirt.
Speaker 2:I will Thanks pal.
Speaker 3:The Taylor Swift thing, I don't think, although Ryan Reynolds was there, which that's a win he is.
Speaker 1:Who's that a win for?
Speaker 3:I think, just a little community. He's a good guy. Seems like I shouldn't say he's a good guy. I don't know him personally. Seems like a good guy has a. He's also a girl, dad, seth Trent. I think you guys can respect that. He has, I think, three or four girls actually.
Speaker 2:So oh, he's in the proposal, did you?
Speaker 5:meet. Did you mean to add, like another word after good, in between good and guy? Is that what you're looking for?
Speaker 3:Good looking guys. That what you're looking for there.
Speaker 5:I think that's where you originally were going to go. Go with it. I think that's what you're going to say, yeah.
Speaker 3:No, I would say he's a good looking guy. I'm more of a Gosling guy If we're talking.
Speaker 2:No, Gosling was a total liability on the defensive side of the ball. You can't be a Gosling guy.
Speaker 3:I think I think I go Gosling over Reynolds if we're talking Ryan's here. No, anyhow, anyhow, let's move on. Yeah, let's get. That was just a bad game.
Speaker 2:Phil. How good is this bucky shirt, though? Don't you think this just like represents the pod so well?
Speaker 3:Yeah, there was multiple times, trent, when I asked you to purchase me a shirt and or a hat, you were there two weeks ago and got nothing. You got a call off or something I was. You were at the Auburn game. A, collegiate I said I will Venmo. I will Venmo you if you get me something, did not receive a text about what you're going to purchase me and frankly, I'm a little bit upset and disappointed, and so should these other hosts, your co-hosts here. They should feel the exact same way as I do. Anyhow, let's move on this, this, let's go.
Speaker 2:Here's my idea Take my phone and call someone who cares. Just help my phone up to this web jam. Keep going.
Speaker 3:We're talking third grade burns. Trent, you have been on fire this entire podcast, but thankfully we're all above the age of 30, with the exception of Seth, so we're just going to move on. Jordan, hey, I'm not 30.
Speaker 1:Don't, don't, ask me to act 30 yet I'm not 30 yet.
Speaker 5:I've got a few months to go.
Speaker 3:You age like sour milk, just kidding. All right, let's go to All right. All right, let's go to your start of the of the week here, Jordan Breeze Hall.
Speaker 5:Yeah, definitely my worst one of the week. He's only had eight points, half point PBR, six for 56 on the ground, three targets, four targets, three catches, 13 yards. I'd be curious to snap percentage. I need to look at that but I think I might have been a victim of them getting down 17, 17, zero early too, and Zach Wilson played the best he's played all year, so that didn't help either.
Speaker 2:You're a victim, all right.
Speaker 3:He had. He had six attempts, only Jordan.
Speaker 5:So he, I know.
Speaker 3:I need to go find. Maybe you said that I didn't hear you, but when I look at just going over to the jet side here, he did lead in terms of the rushing stats. He had six, dalvin Cook had five, so Michael Carter only had one.
Speaker 5:Let's just want to see snaps.
Speaker 2:Just get this over with, because this one hurts.
Speaker 3:No, no no, I'm saving that to the end. I can't stand you, jordan. Let's just skip over Mike Evans. That's a weird one. I mean I think you got.
Speaker 2:You ended up getting that one right, I'm just going to give you the credit there. Give the guy credit, man. No, like he called it, like how, how?
Speaker 3:He got hurt, didn't he? Didn't he get hurt I?
Speaker 5:was at a weird one, he got hurt. He leaves. He's left half the games against March on Lattimore cause he's hurt. He's wasn't hurt, he quit. Do you see him walking to the locker room? He was fine. The guy doesn't want to play against March on Lattimore. It is what it is.
Speaker 3:Hey, you know what? Jordan put the team on your back. Jordan was spot on with that sit. I agree with you. Anything else you want to?
Speaker 2:add there no, I, I Jordan's, jordan's going after him, but yeah, I'm just Are you watching a game?
Speaker 3:I can hear someone's background Like is there, is there. Can anyone else hear?
Speaker 4:it, no, it's mine.
Speaker 3:Oh, okay, no, you're good Seth's over there watching Furbies or something that weirdo.
Speaker 4:No, it's not me.
Speaker 3:Seth, if you could stop watching Gilmore Girls in the background of the pod, I'd really appreciate it.
Speaker 2:He's over there. He's looking at Brian Gosling Good show.
Speaker 3:All right, seth, we're going to go with yours, you're going to go with your sit, and then we're going to go with Trent's winner to close us out. Uh, seth, let's, let's hear a little about yours.
Speaker 4:Joe Mixon. Uh, was my sit. Eight points, half point, PPR 14 for 67, one pitch for nine yards. I think that's good enough for a sit, but also I might have said that was decent enough for a start, so kind of in that gray area. But I mean that's not what you want out of like your third, like third round draft pick, you know, not meeting the projection.
Speaker 3:He under delivered.
Speaker 4:he under delivered just in terms of his bank it's interesting to talk about, because they just I don't know like that whole team like just does not seem good yeah.
Speaker 2:The bangles are dumpster fire. It's not good. Burrows definitely hurt. He should have taken off four weeks, like what chase said. He's just not mobile Like he should be. He's not getting the zip on the ball. How many points of bro have, like I don't even know. Like, do you want to play burrow anymore? Like, like, what are we doing with burrow? Like that, that's like costing your fantasy season because you're not going to not play burrow if he plays, or chase, or chase. Yeah, like, where is it? I can even find him on the list here. He's so far down. But burrow, has he had five fan? I guess he points today, if I point.
Speaker 4:What are T Higgins? T Higgins going to be out for a while. He broke some ribs, couple weeks, yeah. So I mean I mean Chase is going to be the guy now, him and Tyler Boyd. Tyler Boyd might be interesting to pick up because he was getting quite a bit of usage. So Tyler Boyd's available, grab him yeah.
Speaker 2:Let me see his his roster percentage. Tyler Boyd is 50% rostered, so yeah, that might not be too bad. I think Chase is going to start getting a lot of targets, but yeah, this season's looking like a complete waste in Cincinnati so far Like.
Speaker 3:And in Minnesota, I mean. They're basically mere images, AFC and NFC, of like how much of a dumpster fire it is.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but the thing is, is Minnesota? You at least can play Curt Cousins and get some fantasy points, like you have Borough on your team. You'd rather have Curt Cousins this season rather than Joe Borough, Like.
Speaker 3:Curt's at least slinging it.
Speaker 2:Like Borough's, a shell of himself. I don't know. I don't know what else? No, you're right. What to say about?
Speaker 3:that I normally don't like ending us on a bad note, but this one is just so bad I think that we have to, and you've been just kind of chirping me this entire pod, so I'm going to have you go with your sit last, your Trent Nico Collins, you want to talk about just like how you're feeling at the end of the day after he kind of went off on you.
Speaker 2:I feel like a dog, you know, and speaking of dogs, underdog is my favorite place to play best ball fantasy football guys and you can do drafts every single week and I actually won our dude's draft this week. I had Christian McCaffrey on my team, I had Justin Herbert. It was a lot of fun. Go over to Underdog, interpromaco Dude's 100. They will match up to $100. You'll have a lot of fun. Do it with some friends. Maybe you have Joe Borough on your team and you're sick of it. Go do a draft this week. Start completely over. Start over every week. So yeah, go to Underdog and we got some best ball drafts. Jordan talked about those earlier. I think that's all we really are. What did you say, phil? What are you talking about? I just was thinking about dogs. Nico Collins, it was bad, it was terrible. It was a horrible pick. I hope you didn't listen to me. I look like a complete Nimrod, which you're probably used to, but it changes, that's not a good question. What was he on the?
Speaker 3:week. Tell me what's different.
Speaker 2:Like Tank Dell I thought would have a good game here. He's been playing really good. What did Nico Collins finish? Why'd he receive a three on the week and half point PPR 36 points. This one hurt the whole time and it was just like the NFL script writers, I guess you could say. Cj Stroud had a. He threw a touchdown, Then Damian Pierce was scored, there was two, there was two penalties in a row. They scored two plays in a row and then finally Nico Collins gets a touchdown. He ended up getting a 40 plus yard touchdown later. So two touchdowns. The guy had a huge game. Like Jordan was telling me earlier, we just can't quite get these Texans receivers right. But what I think is right is CJ Stroud is really good. He's a sling in the ball.
Speaker 3:Is it a Boomer bus situation with him? Like what do you think?
Speaker 2:With Stroud or Nico? No, collins Collins, I don't know with how good Stroud is playing. I don't know if I want to sit any of those guys, although Damian Pierce did throw a touchdown pass to Dalton Schultz. Dalton Schultz has kind of been the guy who hasn't been playing great exactly, but he did finally get a touchdown today. I'm trying to find Dalton Schultz, but he's been the one guy that I thought would have a better season, that hasn't. He had 12 fantasy points today. But CJ Stroud on the week finished, as at the time of this, recording QB8 on the week. So far he has three games in a row with 20 plus points. He threw for 300 yards plus and two out of his last three games he's would be rookie of the year. I would say maybe Puka'd be rookie of the year if the season ended right now and Stroud is still only 50.
Speaker 5:It'd be.
Speaker 2:Stroud. Stroud is 54% rostered right now. They play Atlanta this week and, yeah, I think Stroud needs to be rostered If you have Joe Burrow I have Joe Burrow in a league. I'm tempted to drop him for CJ Stroud. It's terrible.
Speaker 5:I was just thinking that Trent Like what.
Speaker 2:It's hard to do. I don't know if I can get Stroud yeah. But yeah, he's 50%, 54% rostered QB13 on the week he has the Falcons, this week the Saints. The following week he just keeps producing. They're on a two game burner right now, so maybe just stick with the hot hand. Yeah, that was bad. I hate that. That's the one I had to close it out with, hate that I had to fall to an underdog promo because I was so embarrassed. Maybe that eased the blow a little bit. Should we get into some who hurt you? Do we got anything else who hurt you? Yeah, you want to do some of that. Jordan, you want to start this off with who hurt you this week and week for.
Speaker 5:You want the whole list, you want one person, you want.
Speaker 2:Yeah, just give us a couple or any kind of surprises, or you know what I mean.
Speaker 5:Like Tank Del really hurt.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 5:Sleeper plays DFS. The Devonte injury hurt me in DFS. Keenan Allen hurt me in sleeper and DFS.
Speaker 1:He did not have a good game.
Speaker 5:It was just the whole. Jamar Chase, joe Burrow they were very hurtful in a lot of different areas this week. It was just. It was a lot of hurtful things that happened this week. Not a good Sunday, but I would say like Tank Del probably really hurt Tank Del was a big one. Keenan Allen the Devonte injury really sucked. So there's a few of them. Yeah yeah, there was a lot this week. A lot of very hurtful stuff this week happened to me. It was not a good Sunday.
Speaker 2:Jonu Smith hurt me. He led the Falcons in receiving yards, which is terrible. At this point I think I'm hoping Taylor Heineke gets the start soon, because it's not Ritter he doesn't look good. Drake London keeps finding the end zone. At some point you have to go. This guy needs more volume or away get the ball. I think Taylor Heineke could make this team a lot of fun. I don't know why. Who's really the only positive from the Falcons is Bijans having a really good season. I don't know what. Al Gier he had seven carries today. He's kind of getting phased out there. Kyle Pitts is a guy I would say hurt me. Mari Cooper I think he hurt some guys out there today. Maybe that's part of Watson not playing, but Cooper's been very consistent so far this season. Those are just a couple of guys that I would say were just complete duds on the week. Seth, you got any hate things you don't like. Did you play against Christian McCaffrey or Josh Allen? I don't know.
Speaker 4:Yeah. So there's actually like a. This is kind of dumb because everyone experiences this If you're in a lot of leagues. It's like I needed McCaffrey to score over 20-something points, but under a certain amount of points, and he hit the way over. So if he would have hit the certain amount of points I could have won in both leagues, but now it's like I lost in another one. So yeah, I guess that one. But the thing that actually hurt me today is my washing machine. So I know you guys heard that story, but if you ever have to replace a part in a washing machine and it's gonna say, expect to take you four hours, just buy a new washing machine, just do that.
Speaker 2:If it just takes an hour, just assume it's probably gonna take you four hours. Okay, let me just help you out a little with math.
Speaker 4:It said that the best review is like oh, it took me three and a half hours and I had three other guys help me and I was like well, it took me six and I didn't even finish and I just ended up buying a new washer anyway.
Speaker 2:So I'm so sorry. Well, now you know it was not fun.
Speaker 4:Yeah, so that's who. That's actually what hurt me today. Yeah no that that's a seven days here it's a work.
Speaker 2:Yeah, some days you're the dog, some days you're the hydrogen Seth. That's all I can tell you, phil. Any any hurt anything that hurt today.
Speaker 3:No, I'd like I said the refs in the in the chiefs chiefs jets games, that was pretty hurtful. Yeah, I would say that that's that was overall pretty help, pretty, pretty hurtful, like that one's just. Yeah, that was bad. It's just I just yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2:You said like this Taylor Swift impacting games and maybe she is, who knows it's just bad so Thing about that, like I, yeah, the people that tell you are like that, only take you know three hours set. They're saying people that think the Chargers head coach is good, like that guy is a complete Nim wit, I don't know. Like the Chargers should have lost their last two games.
Speaker 4:You know Jordan was going off on the coach in the group text earlier, but I don't know you guys seen the meme of them talking about the the Chargers coach and the Raiders coach and it's literally two clowns playing basketball.
Speaker 2:I did it but, that's really good, yeah, do we got any divas of the week guys to close this thing out? Anything that's really you know it's Phil would say grinding your gears, just grinding those gears, what, what do you think? And, seth, you got anything? You kind of talked about it with that. Yeah.
Speaker 4:I guess I would just say, like why would you make so? I get it like a washer can be complicated and like yeah, it's a great invention, you know. But it's like, can we like actually make this possible without having to like call like a Service guy to come out here and do it? And I think the service guy would have legit needed my help.
Speaker 2:Well, and that's the thing too.
Speaker 5:Let's be honest, there's no one that would ask you for help.
Speaker 2:But no, just no. Well, that's the thing. Is it super heavy, or what was it?
Speaker 4:No, it was just like whoever installed it, or like if it came in a package already like kind of built already like the screw, the bottom already stripped. So I was like trying to like unscrew those Like the. The spring to get the new like like a rubber piece on there is so tight that you like cannot Pull it around, like you. You the video literally said like get like clamps and clamp it on while you try to pull it around and I'm like I don't have clamps this big I, it's I.
Speaker 2:Did you get it?
Speaker 4:done so hard. No, I'm buying you one, no, he spent six hours then.
Speaker 2:Then wave the white flag. You should have in that hour too. Yeah, why don't you just call?
Speaker 4:someone Seth Call someone to help me?
Speaker 3:Yeah, just like an appliance repair person.
Speaker 2:There's no one on this pod capable and I are there appliance repair people like where are those people?
Speaker 3:It is. It is definitely a thing.
Speaker 4:So, anyways, it'll cost you like 150 bucks and getting my money back for that piece, and then I'm gonna buy a cheaper washer and then this one is just easier to maintain and keep clean.
Speaker 3:So for now, are you just in like the backyard with like a barrel and some soap and water mixing it up?
Speaker 4:No, I'm just gonna go take it to my relatives house and just use their washer for free.
Speaker 2:Not bad idea. I didn't say you could use my washer, but I Might. Even the weakest quitters, just people who start things and don't finish, it's like, hey, man, like you know. So what if it's said an hour, it takes you four hours. Like, just what are you teaching your kids when you quit things? You know, I'm saying, phil, like my kids are getting the age where they like, maybe don't like something. You know, maybe I'm beating them in the matching game and it's like they want to quit. Well, no, we don't quit. That's not what we're about. So, quitters, does anyone like disagree with that or Are you?
Speaker 3:are you leaning into Seth? Is that weird?
Speaker 2:No, but if the shoe fits wear it, but I would say it's a little bit different.
Speaker 3:Seth Seth failed.
Speaker 2:He didn't quit right, so he lost he lost.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I definitely lost I did?
Speaker 4:I definitely lost, I definitely lost to like the, just the like my new, like just Stupid labor that I was doing for six hours like I just I lost to that. And a baby about. Like what you said, trin, about like your kids watching you quit. Well, I wanted my kids watch like to stop watching me be mad, like I was mad at the end Seth is stop watching me be mad. You know Seth's a great guy but he's like my favorite person to see mad like it's it is a good time.
Speaker 2:Like did you kick any tailgate, hitches or anything like?
Speaker 4:No, but I cut my hand trying to like take a piece off because it's like in the video it's a. This piece is sharp and I cut my hand pretty bad and anyways. And my daughter kept like trying to get in there with me and it's a tight space in my like laundry room and I was like telling me like you know to like leave, you know like I need to like work and like not hear questions, and she's like be kind, dad, and I was like yeah, I got.
Speaker 2:It's like. It's like I can't believe I'm fixing a washing machine while the toy store games on.
Speaker 1:That's part is.
Speaker 5:I can just imagine Seth being like so frustrated and then be like, hey, let me check my, let me check my phone and see how my bets are going, and being just more mad because they were just, that was just. Oh yeah, sunday was just like it was what I say was the worst Sunday ever in my life because it definitely wasn't, but it was definitely like it's like top five.
Speaker 4:I got to woke up feeling terrible, I'm fixing a washing machine, that's this garbage and and I ended up spending six hours just to spend more money just to go buy a new one, yeah. And then I realized, when I'm trying to take out the hoses. I don't have the right crescent wrench because if this one's too small so I got to go find another one now. Yeah, it's better. Yeah, it was one of those days where like if you said it can't get any worse.
Speaker 2:It instantly would have started rating. Yeah, I hear you when it rains it pours Jordan Phil. You guys got any divas the week? You know I got one. It's not great but I'm gonna go.
Speaker 3:I you know you know me like I'm not a quitter, trent, I thank you. You know I'm not a quitter, but they're not always great but this is what I'm gonna say. So, as you guys know, I was just in Texas a couple weeks ago and I'm looking for this text here because I was texting my brother. I was in, I was in Texas a couple weeks ago. So I'm just gonna get to it. The diva my diva is A couple weeks ago, so I'm just gonna get to it the diva, my diva of the week and I love we used to have a segment on this show called what you're smoking. I love good barbecue. I love a good steak. My diva of the week is the state of California in our, in our, darn steak prices. Okay, so I, I do you guys. Have you guys seen the prices of steaks recently?
Speaker 2:They're expensive. But I think this is a national issue, not a state issue is usually, you know, we have state issues here. I think this is national.
Speaker 3:No, that's entirely incorrect. Okay, so my brother-in-law bought. He bought two and a quarter pounds of a ribeye. Okay, two and a quarter pounds of a ribeye, what kind of two ribeyes?
Speaker 2:It was two, two ribeyes. Was it choice? Was it prime? Like you got it. You got to know all the factors in here. Yes, it's.
Speaker 3:I believe they were both. They were both choice. I believe they were both choice. Okay, they're both choice, okay, and even the price difference is a big deal here. Okay, so two and a quarter pounds.
Speaker 2:You have to factor in cost of living also. You know we have a higher minimum wage here than texas.
Speaker 3:Now you're.
Speaker 2:now you're trying to change it around a little bit, just but that, that, that's just common, that's just common sense, that's common sense too.
Speaker 3:Which I can still say that it's my diva. Two and a quarter pounds at $26 and 93 cents. Okay, I was there a couple weeks ago, bought two ribeyes nice ribeyes for 13 bucks, okay, and I don't know what those prices. I was at our local grocery store, okay, and it's a little bit more pricey. It's definitely more pricey 2.2 and basically three pounds, 61 dollars. Yeah, not even a full pound more of meat, and it's about 40 dollars more expensive. Is that not insane?
Speaker 2:It is insane, but that's one of the reasons I don't shop for meat there too. What's the difference at Costco? Is it Costco? Is it drastically cheaper? Drastically cheaper, like? I can get one rack of ribs for 30 bucks at our local grocery store, or I can get two racks of ribs for 38 dollars at Costco.
Speaker 3:So can you also get mad at me that like that price is unreasonable, like that's just simply unreasonable, isn't it?
Speaker 2:Yes, I would say it's unreasonable 62 bucks for three ribeyes. Where's it? Where they prime? Phil, I have a question choice. Okay, what's your question, jordan?
Speaker 5:I Thought you're you're a rancher. I thought you have your own beat, oh.
Speaker 2:No, no, you should be loving this you're a rancher.
Speaker 3:Good point, good point here, jordan, you may have caught me in another lie Just kidding. So I was. I was, uh, this is so my brother-in-law. My brother-in-law takes a photo of this ribeye and he's like hey, guess how much I got these two ribeyes for it feels I'll just take the butcher's word for it Crazy price. That's insane. Well, I happen to be at a grocery store that's located in California, just for trans purposes, since he thinks beef prices are the exact same nationwide, which is just outrageous to me to ever think something like that. Anyhow, I go to the, I go to our local grocery store, I pick it up and I take a photo of it. All that said, yes, jordan, I am of. I am a cattle rancher. I cooked my. I cooked some t-bones Uh, believe it or not, last week, some t-bones and filets. They tasted delicious, uh, but I just think beef prices are are insane right now, especially if you want to get, you know, a lot of steak. I really like steak, that's. That's the point, it's too expensive.
Speaker 4:You just need to buy your own cow and just butcher it, and then you got cheaper meat right there.
Speaker 3:Well, I mean, that's actually what I do. But yes, that is uh, that's. I agree with you there, great idea Seth.
Speaker 2:There you go, Jordan, you got anything here?
Speaker 5:No, no divas, Trent. But I just want to say you know, my picks on the social medias have not been great lately, on a losing streak, and I was thinking about quitting. I'm not gonna lie, but, trent, you told me quitters are divas. I'm not quitting. We're bouncing back, we're getting the money back.
Speaker 3:Alrighty, let's go. Dark night rises.
Speaker 2:That's good, all right. Well, we'll see you guys tomorrow for our waiver show. We'll see you on Thursday with our week five preview and, as always, take care.
