So I'm thinking out of these, we got Pokemon, trading card game,
1:45
poker, solitaire, blackjack, spider.
1:48
I never got into that one. Uno, many people are going to not like this, especially my family.
1:54
I am not a fan of Uno. I am not a fan of Uno. Texas Hold'em,
1:58
you can't go wrong with that.
2:01
Yu-Gi-Oh trading card game. I do not know what the heck that is.
2:04
Magic the Gathering, never done it, but it sounds amazing.
2:09
And I would love to get a part of it. I would love to give them that crowd.
2:11
I need to somehow figure a way out to find, to kind of just sneak my way in
2:17
there, you know, and just like, and just be like one of us, one of us, one of us, one of us.
2:23
And I want them to start saying that as I walk in, as I sneak in, sneak by.
2:27
Magic, magic of the gathering. Here we go. Out of these options,
2:30
Texas Hold'em. I'm going Texas Hold'em. Texas Hold'em. Here we go.
2:33
All right. Who is your favorite athlete from the list below? All right.
2:37
LeBron James. There are no words. All right. He is just a little bit older than me.
2:43
He's a little bit older than me, and I loved him coming out of high school.
2:46
I remember as he was in high school, his senior year, I just followed him.
2:50
There was a lot of hype built up about him, and it was well-deserved hype.
2:55
And I was just mesmerized, intrigued. I loved myself.
3:01
Loved, actually. I loved LeBron James. I think he broke my heart too many times.
3:06
He broke my heart too many times, and I couldn't do it anymore.
3:09
And I really was a debate over Michael Jordan, LeBron James.
3:14
I'm going, I almost said LeBron. I'm going Michael Jordan. So I can't say LeBron,
3:17
but I do respect him. He is definitely one of the best.
3:21
He's not the GOAT. He's not the GOAT, but he is one of the best.
3:25
But we're going to skip him. Ronda Rousey, not even sure who that is. John Cena.
3:30
Yeah, that's, he's not going to be one of them. He's not going to be my favorite,
3:34
but I can see how he makes this list.
3:36
I can see Maria Sharapova. No, she's probably, I think, tennis?
3:41
That's tennis, right? I'm pretty sure that, and I'm going to have to say no for me on that one.
3:47
Kobe Bryant, that's going to make the top three at least.
3:53
Diogo Maradona, I do not know. I do not know that one. I do not know that one.
3:57
Zinedine Zidane, I do not know either. I don't know.
4:01
Mike Tyson, that's going to, that's also top three. Top three.
4:05

4:46
Oh, yes. I love it. I'm actually reading The Lord of the Rings.
4:49
I'm reading through. It takes me a while. I'm a slow reader.
4:52
It takes me a while. I've read The Hobbit.
4:54
I've read The Lord of the Rings, The Fellowship of the Ring.
4:57
And I'm reading the books.
4:58
And I'm watching the movies after I read them as I go. Because I've never read them before.

5:50
another one lord of the rings harry potter you
5:54
gotta love it i gotta love it and i i mean
5:56
I have actually been on a desperate I say the word desperate in the most perfect
6:03
sense in the most romantic sense of possible I have been desperate for some
6:09
Harry Potter lately and it's just because as we are rolling in to fall season.
6:15
Autumn the season, the best season of the year is hands down,
6:19
there's no better season than fall I will debate all day long and twice on Sunday
6:24
over that with anybody that wants to step in the ring and debate about the best season ever.
6:29
It is fall. No question. No question.
6:32
But something that is kind of like really close to there is Christmas winter
6:38
season, like in that really pinnacle of that short window that we have of the
6:43
Christmas season, you know, and the winter.
6:46
You can't say winter because winter that's kind of, that's tough.
6:48
That's cold and bleak and you just want to just, you just want to cozy up. But.
6:54
Best season of the year, fall, without question. All right, so,
6:58
but I say that a lot. I say all that just to say about Harry Potter.
7:01
I have just, I have been mesmerized in just wanting and just chasing after Harry
7:06
Potter and wanting to just get real and raw and just be able to just relax,
7:11
have some butterbeer, you know, cozy fire.
7:14
Light it up, and just relax under the covers, wash me some Harry Potter.
7:18
Actually, read it first. I love to read stuff first.
7:22
I don't know about you all, but i love to read stuff and then i
7:25
love to watch it i don't really want to watch it and then read as much

7:59

so out of these which one we going with everyone what do you got what do you
8:36
got out of these this is there's There's nothing outside of this.
8:39
You can't pick anything.
8:40
You can't think, Oh, I wish that would be the list. No, this is what we got.
8:43
This is what we're dealing with. All right.
8:45
I'm going to go.
8:49
What is the Jeopardy song? I wish I had that. All right, let's see.
8:52
Let's see what we got. No, I don't really have anything.
8:57
Yeah, I think that fizzled out pretty bad. All right, so out of these,
9:01
what are we going to go with? I'm kind of.
9:13
All right what do you all got shout it out loud so i can hear it i want to hear
9:18
it all right so i'm out of these gosh i'm going harry potter i'm going harry
9:24
potter harry potter here we go baby yeah okay all right now question four who
9:29
is your favorite soccer player from the list below Now,
9:32
I'm probably going to butcher this because lately I have not been keeping up
9:37
with soccer as much as I should, as much as I should, especially the athletes,
9:42
the athletes that are out there.
9:44
I have not been keeping up with them, so I couldn't say one as opposed to the other.
9:48
So probably going to go with name recognition in this. This is election type.
9:53
Who do you even recognize? recognize. I'm looking at this list of names,
9:57
and if there's someone that even hits this noodle and makes me realize,
10:02
makes me understand that they're a real person.
10:04
Okay, who we got? All right, Namor. I'm going to list through these people,
10:08
and probably out there, you're going to be like, how do you not know him?
10:11
How do you not know him? Well, I don't. I don't know who he is.
10:14
Mia Hamm, that might be where we land, because I do recognize her. I do know her.
10:21
Brandy Chastain, No clue. Earlene Haaland, not a shred of a doubt of evidence
10:28
that I recognize that person whatsoever. Not whatsoever.
10:32
Fernando Torres. It's getting worse as we go here, as we go through. Paul Pogba.
10:38
You can tell that soccer is not really America's sport. It's not, you know.
10:42
But I do. I like it. I like it. I like World Cup.
10:46
I like World Cup. And I want to want to get into, actually I do want,
10:50
but it's like I haven't reached that that level, you know, of certainty in my
10:55
life and asphyxiation and just asphyxiation.
10:58
I say words and probably not so correct words to use, but I say them.
11:04
I say them. But words mean things. Words mean things.
11:08
So I got to get my vocabulary up and running.
11:10
Got to turn on the engine, you know? All right.
11:13
Thierry Henry. No, it's going downhill. It's going downhill. Hill.
11:18
Diogo Maradona. I don't know these people.
11:22
I don't know these people, but you all probably do. Somebody out there probably knows who these are.
11:27
Emiliano Sala. No clue. I think there's only one person on this list that I
11:32
even recognize kinda, sorta, and I do recognize her. And I think we're going to go with her.
11:38
Mia Hamm. Mia Hamm is the winner, but who you all got? Who you all got?
11:42
Out of these lists, you're probably
11:43
like, how do you not go with Brandi Chastain? How do you not do that?
11:48
And I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Mia Hamm is who we are going with.
11:52
All right. All right. What is your, oh boy. What is your favorite anime from the list below?
11:59
Okay. This is another one that I kind of wish I was into,
12:04
and I, I mean, really, there's so many things that you want to be into,
12:08
because it's like, but it's, you only got so much time, so you can't, can't do everything,
12:13
you know, and I'm sure this is one of them for many, a lot of people out there,
12:16
you know, anime, you know, this is a big deal, this is a big deal,
12:19
and I am going to tread lightly when walking through this, and when I'm saying
12:22
that, I'm not going to say anything bad about anime,
12:24
I do not want a mob showing up at my door and say, what the heck are you talking
12:29
about, you don't talk about anime like that,
12:31
you don't act stupid so i'm gonna be cool i'm gonna play it cool act like i
12:35
know what i'm doing all right favorite anime movie from the list below here
12:39
we go one piece not a clue chainsaw man not a clue.
12:45
Mr osamatsu again not a clue pokemon yes i i do recognize pokemon i do recognize
12:52
pokemon so you know something that is gonna have to do something really tickle
12:57
my fancy to get and to not say Pokemon. Okay, here we go.
13:00
Next one. Mobile Suit Gundam Seed. Not a clue.
13:06
Bleach? Not a clue. The Legend of Korra. That sounds good, but I do not know at all.
13:12
Next one. Naruto Shippuden. No idea.
13:17
And Dragon Ball Z. Dragon Ball Z. I do recognize Dragon Ball Z.
13:22
So, out of all these, some of them sound pretty cool. The Legend of Korra sounded pretty good to me.
13:29
But for me, it's between Dragon Ball Z and Pokemon because those are the only
13:34
ones I even have heard about.
13:37
And those are both pretty big, you know.
13:39
So if I got to pick one, first of all, what do you got?
13:42
What are you all thinking about out of this list that I'm saying?
13:45
For me, you know I'm going with some Pokemon.
13:48
I used to play the game Pokemon for a while. You know, I had it and I was trying to catch Pokemon.
13:53
I was trying to catch them, you know, and I caught a couple.
13:55
But man and then they got then they started getting away they started getting
13:58

14:09
What is your favorite TV show from the list below? All right.
14:13
Number one, The Simpsons. That's pretty good. It's going to be hard to beat.
14:18
Number two, The O.C. Again, another really good show. That is a really good show, The O.C.
14:24
Number three, Riverdale. Never heard of it.
14:27
Four, Smallville. Oh, my goodness. That one is fire.
14:33

15:31
All right. And number nine, you knock on my door.
15:35
Never heard of it, but it could be a good one. It could be a good one.
15:38
So out of this list, oh, my gosh.
15:44
What do you all got out of this list? What are you picking? If you had to pick
15:48
one, you had to land on one. Oh, my gosh. Oh, man.
15:52
It's like, what is my actual favorite show? and what do I want to be my favorite
15:57
show is kind of different, you know?
15:59
Let's say what I want to be my favorite show so we can kind of narrow this down.
16:02
I'm going to say The Walking Dead is up there. Definitely, I'd like to.
16:05
I've only watched a few of those, but I know it's really good.
16:07
It's just have not had it.
16:10
There is, I remember when I first saw The Walking Dead for the first time and
16:13
it was just, it shocked me.
16:16
And I think it shocked the world, you know? But it shocked me and I was like,
16:19
oh my gosh, I can't do this. It was like one of the later episodes.
16:22
And if you're a fan of Walking Dead, You probably know exactly what I'm talking about.
16:27
And I don't want to give stuff away. And probably me saying this is not going to give anything away.
16:31
But it was that scene with that guy. And he had his baseball bat strapped around with, what is it?
16:38
Barbed wire? I don't know. And just, oh, and I had to bounce.
16:43
I had to bounce. And I had to get out of there and maybe just recruit.
16:46
But that was like the very first thing I ever saw of Walking Dead.
16:49
And it was probably the most, like, it would mess you up.
16:54
It would put nightmares in your nightmares. So...
16:58
So out of these, what we're going to do, small things and strange things.
17:01
I've actually never seen strange things, so I can't technically say that's mine,
17:04
but I wanted to watch it. I'm going The Simpsons. The Simpsons.

19:02
with Chiefs going three and one in those games.

I do like him. So, you know, that's, but he's good. He's good.

I could see him kind of like the Lakers, like Shaq and Kobe,
21:02
kind of just nursing some things, just taking it easy as it goes through and
21:07
not just burning himself out.
21:09
I don't see it. The only reason I'm saying this, that I don't see him as the
21:13
Michael Jordan, is because was it last season that they did not start off so
21:18
great, did okay through the regular season and almost like they saved it for playoff time.
21:24
That reminds me of the Lakers. The Lakers did that multiple times.
21:28
They would just do okay, just do enough to get by, and then once it got to April
21:32
that's when they started just gearing up and getting ready to roll in the playoffs. It seemed like.
21:37
Because Mahomes is a smart man. He's a smart man. And just like Brady,
21:42
and maybe it's the difference as in football as opposed to basketball.
21:47
So it's no knock on Mahomes that I'm saying that he's not going at it like Michael
21:53
Jordan, because Michael Jordan, every game, he was breathing fire down the other team's neck.
21:59
Now, it is a lot different between basketball and NFL.
22:02
So I can could see that Mahomes taking it
22:05
easy just like Brady did throughout the
22:08
Brady wasn't knockout killer regular season
22:11
that's why whenever him and Peyton Manning went up against each other and their
22:16
careers were as it was unfolding before our eyes it was always about who's better
22:21
who's better Peyton Manning was MVP non-stop MVP every year regular season just
22:27
putting up insane bananas Nana's numbers.
22:30
And then, but Brady, when it came crunch time and when it came playoff time,
22:35
that's when he excelled.
22:37
And I think I could see it as my homes having that mindset and that ability
22:43
and awareness that he, he doesn't need to just,
22:47
because it's like, once you lose that first game, it's, there's no, there's no hiding it.
22:52
My homes wants to go that he wants to challenge the dolphins 72 season winning it all.
22:59
Every game. And it's when you're winning every game, but it's like,
23:02
once you lose one, it's, you don't need to kill yourself. You just almost need
23:05
to get in there. You want to get home field advantage.
23:07
You want that by, but now it's like, it's not even that by is not even as incredible
23:12
as it once was upon a time because only one team gets it.
23:16
Only one team gets it. And if you're not going to be that one team,
23:19
it's like, why am I going to kill myself?
23:21
We need to stay healthy. We need to get there, you know? And so I just see my
23:25
homes has that mindset to say similar to Tom Brady.
23:29
And similar to the Lakers, just kind of just coaching it through the season,
23:32
staying healthy, getting through it, you know, and come when it comes crunch
23:35
time, killing it, knocking it out of the park. And that's what he does.
23:38
I can talk about Mahomes all day, every day, you know, just the level that he
23:44
is, the level that he is as a player, that he has that awareness,
23:49
which is, as you can see, as anytime I'm talking about sports,
23:53
I always try to sneak in some Mahomes because he has that awareness that is
23:58
just, I don't see it in other players.
24:01
You know, I think he has a greater awareness than anyone that's ever played
24:06
the game as a quarterback, pretty much.
24:08
Because the only person I'm even like comparing him to in my mind is Brady.
24:13
And it's like, if I really come down to it, like just mental like acumen of the game, who's better?
24:22
Who's gonna make that smarter play in crunch time? Who's gonna do it? But I have to go Mahomes.
24:29
I have to go Mahomes. And it's weird saying that, but in my gut, I'm thinking that.
24:34
I'm thinking I have to go Mahomes because there's only been one time that I've
24:39
seen that he made like a bonehead kind of play and a bonehead kind of events,
24:44
a string of plays that I saw him do.
24:47
And that was in that season game, that playoff game against the Bengals when
24:52
they blew that lead. That was the first time I ever saw that Mahomes seemed, you know, human.
24:57
But then he quickly changed that and he quickly redeemed himself.
25:03
So I'm going to say Mahomes has the better acumen. But there was like,
25:08
it is a difference though, because Brady, Brady had just, he had something happening.
25:16
It was kind of weird. He had like, I mean, luck is a real thing in sports.
25:20
Luck is a real deal, as in the ball bouncing your way, and especially in those
25:27
moments, certain moments of the game, and things just going your way kind of thing.
25:33
And Brady definitely had that.
25:36
Mahomes has that to an extent, but Brady had that in a weird way,
25:41
that things just went his way. and it's like the football gods or something
25:47
are just looking down on him and saying he's the golden boy, he's the golden child.
25:51
I'm going to make this play go his way.
25:55
I'm just going to nudge the player in that way. I'm going to protect him in this way.
26:00
I'm going to, you know, that tuck rule thing, you know, just make it go just
26:04
so right so that his career... But I can't diss on him because...
26:10
Whatever it is, you know, the little heebie-jeebies, making it go your way,
26:18
you know, whatever it causes that, you know, who knows?
26:22
But it still happened for him, and things went Brady's way.
26:26
So, all right. So I love talking about some NFL, and you see that I kind of
26:31
like, I just land on the Chiefs, and I can't get off of them.
26:34
I can't get off of them. All right. So here we go. All right. All right. So here we go.
26:40
Okay. Y'all love hearing that. We love hearing that.
26:43
We do love hearing that. Okay. So I wanted to bounce around a little bit.
26:48
You know, I got to find me some Mizzou.
26:50
Did y'all catch the game this weekend? Did y'all catch it?
26:53
Mizzou is in the win column, baby. Mizzou. M-I-Z.
26:59
Z-O-U. All right. Mizzou is up.
27:04
They're just going to. They're all the way. All the way.
27:08
All the way, baby. All the way. So they won. They won against Murray State.
27:12
If y'all caught that, you know, they just took it to town on them,
27:17
man. They destroyed them.
27:20
Demolished them. You know, Mizzou is going all the way, baby.
27:24
All the way. They got a good quarterback. Is it his third year?
27:30
He's legit. He's legit. You know, and actually, I know he got kind of a bad rap.
27:35
Like last year, if you remember the people, the fans kind of The boot that the
27:39
coach selected him turned out to be a good choice.
27:41
Turned out to be a good choice to stick with him.
27:43
And in that quarterback battle and who was going to start, but they,
27:48
they kept it with him. What is this?
27:50
Cause I know his name is like, is it Brady? Something. Something.
27:54
I don't know. I got Brady on the mind. It's got to be an easier way to find
27:57
out a position. Position. I want all position.
28:01
I was right. Brady Cook. Brady Cook. I knew it was something like that.
28:05
So, yeah, what up? What up? You know, smart move by the coach.
28:11
At Mizzou, they got a good coach. Good, solid coach.
28:15
And what was the score? Let me find it out. Find it out.
28:18
We'll figure it out, fam. We'll figure it out. We'll figure it out.
28:22
All right. Ain't no thing.
28:25
Ain't no thing about you going on strike. 51-0. Woo!
28:29
Okay. I'm going to chill. But yet I'm not going to chill. I ain't going to chill for no one. No one.
28:37
Nobody. I don't care how uncomfortable you get.
28:40
All right. So Mizzou, they did a very good job. They did a good job. Very good.
28:44
All right. So now I wanted to kind of move. I got to show you this. I got to show you this.
28:50
If you have not selected your fantasy football team, you got to do it.
28:53
Because it's getting ready. We're getting ready to roll because when it gets
28:56
Thursday, it's too late.
28:58
Deadline. You have up until Wednesday to pick your team.
29:02
And I got my team, and man, looking pretty good. Looking pretty solid.
29:08
I went number one overall, and I took Christian McCaffrey.
29:11
Christian McCaffrey, number one running back in the game, baby.
29:15
He's like put up crazy numbers last year, if you remember that.
29:19
Every game, he was like scoring, was he like scoring like five touchdowns a
29:22
game? game so i hope he didn't just burn himself out and i hope it does good
29:26
this year for me you know but i want christian mccaffrey stay healthy my friend
29:30
stay healthy get well get well.
29:33
And then got number two. I think I might, which, you know, people like disarm
29:39
me, like taking a quarterback this early.
29:41
I did it. I think number two pick, I went Patrick Mahomes.
29:44
I had to. If he's on the board, I'm taking him.
29:47
It makes it so much funner, even though it might not be the smart move at all.
29:53
And fantasy, see, what are they?
29:55
Fantasy, there we go. Baby balloons. And for fantasy aficionados out there that
30:01
say, Dave, you're going to make a quarterback selection of number two? You're stupid.
30:05
I don't care. Patrick Mahomes, my heart bleeds.
30:09
Patrick Mahomes. So it is what it is. I took him, and we're going to go from there.
30:14
Even though I got him last year, and I actually took him last year, and I also took Purdy.
30:20
And I think I took Purdy again this year.
30:23
And last year I kept selecting and starting Mahomes, and Purdy was just getting
30:28
crazy numbers. And that's when you get two rock stars as your quarterback.
30:33
It gets extremely tough and you get heartburn over it because it's like, who am I going to go with?
30:37
The worst thing to me in fantasy football is definitely not.
30:42
If you lose, if I, if I get annihilated, I'm cool as a cucumber and I'm happy
30:48
with it, but it's when you lose and it's because you lose because you left someone
30:52
on the bench that would have caused you to win.
30:55
Or you get, you missed out on those points by putting someone on the bench and
30:58
then they They just have a crazy, awesome game.
31:01
And those are the stingers. Those will keep you up at night if you are not ready.
31:07
If you are not mentally prepared to go into the fantasy football season,
31:11
you've got to be mentally prepared.
31:12
You've got to prepare yourself. You've got to train yourself daily.
31:16
Reminders. When you get up, you need to think. You need to think your steps
31:21
through. What do I need to be doing? What?
31:24
Calls do I need to be making to put myself and my team in the best possible position to win?
31:31
To win. Because it literally is like playoffs in fantasy football.
31:37
It's not like, oh, I'm going to have a good season and then do well in the playoffs.
31:40
There's some of that, but in reality, it is you need to perform each week.
31:46
You need to go out there and win each week.
31:50
You need to put up crazy numbers that you do. You show no mercy in fantasy football.
31:56
And I don't care if it's, you're going against your mom on the other side.
31:59
You say you gotta put, you gotta put that love aside and you got to just be just my, like dialed in.
32:07
You gotta be dialed in and you got to destroy.
32:10
Even if it's someone you love, you got to destroy them in fantasy football.
32:13
You got to. And I think my team is geared up to do that. We are geared up to do that.
32:19
I took, I took, You can see there's a lot of red on my team.
32:22
There's a lot of red kingdom on my team, including Harrison Bucker.
32:25
I stand by Harrison Bucker, even though I didn't really ever hear the speech
32:29
that he did, but I can guesstimate what it was, and I stand by it.
32:34
I stand behind Harrison Bucker, even though he got such a terrible rap,
32:37
but the real people out there got behind him.
32:41
He's standing up for Christian values, so I'm all about that. I'm all about that.
32:46
So I took Harrison. Harrison, I did take Christian, Christian McCaffrey, baby.
32:51
And then I got Harrison Bunker. I got Mahomes at the helm.
32:56
Kenneth Walker, he looked like, I really don't know anything about Kenneth Walker,
33:01
but he had very high projected numbers for the Seattle Seahawks.
33:05
And then I feel like every year I'm landing on Mike Evans, every year.
33:10
And he has, some years he's got me some crazy numbers, awesome numbers.
33:15
And through-the-roof numbers, next-level numbers.
33:18
And who is the quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers? Let's find out.
33:23
All right, the quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers who is going to be throwing
33:26
it to Mike Evans is Baker Mayfield.
33:29
You know, is Baker Mayfield going to be back in the limelight of commercials, progressive?
33:35
I hope so because they were funny. They were good.
33:38
They were good. But it's like he fell off the kind of the carousel a little
33:43
bit because he wasn't winning.
33:44
And these big brands don't want to put people out there that aren't winning.
33:48
You know, that's the, that's kind of the thing. You got to win. You got to win.
33:52
And he wasn't, but he did, he did pretty dang good last year.
33:55
He did pretty dang good last year. I think he stepped in from what I remember.
33:59
Fact check me, but I think he did pretty good. And so I'm pretty,
34:02
I'm pleased as pop and that he is going to be throwing it to my man, Mike Evans.
34:06
So let's take it to the next level. Next level, Mike.
34:10
All right, Nico Collins. This was like a tough one for me because it was right
34:15
between him and who's the other guy?
34:17
I don't even need to look it up. I know who it is.
34:20
Stefan Diggs. It was Stefan Diggs. And it was whenever my number was called,
34:25
I had to pick and it was between them two because they
34:28
were like the top guys of receivers to pick between and it
34:31
was Nico Collins and they're both on the same team which I'm not too happy
34:34
about because I want a receiver that's not going to
34:36
be competing each week but maybe it's kind of good because that other guy's
34:39
going to be pushing them I just hope that Nico kind of
34:42
just just decimates the other teams
34:45
and I hope he puts next level numbers Zay Flowers I'm skipping my tight end
34:50
I'm not I don't isn't for me he's a no name I don't know anything about them
34:54
I I didn't get I didn't get Travis Kelsey probably good I didn't get Travis
34:58
Kelsey because like I would be like too red on this side because I, then it's like,
35:02
I'm dependent on not only if my homes, if he's not throwing it to the right guy,
35:07
I need to be able to like focus in on and know that whoever my homes throws
35:12
it to and whoever scores, I'm going to be pleased as pop.
35:15
You know, I don't want to be like crushed that he threw it to someone else and
35:18
they didn't throw Travis Kelsey for the touchdown.
35:20
So it's okay. It's okay. You can't have your whole team that you love on your fantasy team.
35:26
You got to put those things aside, even though it doesn't sound I'm like,
35:29
I'm doing that. I am doing that.
35:31
I'm, I'm taking care of myself. I'm taking care of my team.
35:34
I'm putting my, my team, you know, in the best possible position.
35:38
I'm putting like those biases aside so that I can focus on what is best and
35:43
going to take us to the promised land.
35:45
And that's what we're going to do. All right. Zay Flowers.
35:49
I do know this guy and there was something that happened last year with Zay Flowers.
35:54
And I think it was with the, with the Chiefs. Did they They play each other in the playoffs.
35:57
Let's just look it up. Let's look it up. If we got Google, let's look it up.
36:02
And we got Google. Okay, let's look it up. Zane Flowers.
36:06
Chiefs because it was he did something did he like taunt somebody
36:09
that was what it was yes that's what it was that's what
36:12
it was i remember okay it was he did something he and
36:15
he got in somebody's face but then he made the fumble or
36:18
he fumbled it or something he did something and it caused him to to not do well
36:23
not do well not do so well my and but but either way he's on my team i love
36:28
him i welcome him we don't hold anything like once we're on the same team and
36:32
we are going like and to battle together, you know I got your back.
36:37
And he's got mine. He's got mine. I like to believe he's got mine.
36:40
Even though I'm talking smack, you know, you've got to separate the two between who you love.
36:44
And that's why fantasy football can be so amazing because it gives that adrenaline jolt to the game.
36:50
Even though it's not your team and not who you love, it brings excitement to
36:55
every game that's out there.
36:57
Every game on Sunday, Monday, Friday, every game of the week, except for Tuesday.
37:01
There's not a game on Tuesday this year. but every game of the
37:03
week there is there's excitement and thrill because
37:07
you got a player playing out there that's going to bring you what
37:10
you need and it's what's going to just take your team to the
37:13
next level get it i'm probably i'm pretty pleased about this my defense because
37:18
whenever i was selecting it the team that i got i got the browns you know they're
37:23
not in the chiefs division so we're gonna we're good there we're good there
37:25
and then also they were like they had of like almost the highest projection of numbers as a defense,
37:31
you know, defense kickers and all that kind of jazz.
37:33
And it only means so much. You can pretty much pick who you want each of the
37:37
week as the weeks go on, you know, and people, a lot of times with their,
37:40
their kickers and with their defense,
37:44
a lot of times they are movable maneuverable parts that you can place in and out.
37:49
They're not as critical as your running backs, as your receivers.
37:54
And as your, your quarterback, I'd say your running backs, your receivers,
37:58
they are the most critical components to where you're going to go as a team
38:03
and who's going to give you the most points, the most reliable points.
38:09
It's going to come down to your running backs and your receivers.
38:12
But if you've got Mahomes, that ain't too bad either. That ain't too bad either,
38:17
and you know I'm right. You know I'm right.
38:19
I've got a solid bench too, a solid bench.
38:23
Bench they're looking pretty fine pretty fine indeed
38:26
i got brock purdy as my backup xavier worthy
38:30
heck yeah i can't believe i snuck him out
38:33
i mean like he was like hanging around there and i could just grab him you know
38:36
i like having him i like having that red on my bench even though they're not
38:40
out there on the field for me it feels good it brings me those uh those warm
38:44
and fuzzies and those warm cuddlies into my heart and gives me kind of that
38:48
warmth that i need knowing that then I got chiefs on my bench.
38:52
I'm cool with that. I'm very cool with that.
38:55
All right, Jerry Judy, I don't know much about him.
38:58
Dallas Goeder, that's a good tight end. That's a good tight end.
39:01
Him and my starting tight end. The other guy, he looked like he was going to
39:06
have promising numbers, but both of these guys were pretty good.
39:10
If you don't got Travis Kelsey or George Kittle, George Kittle's pretty good too.
39:15
Other guys, they kind of just all blend together. The tight ends out there.
39:19
I mean, for a while, tight ends were almost the position. They were the X-factor
39:26
for a lot of teams out there, and it doesn't seem like it's that way as much as it was.
39:31
And except Travis Kelsey. He's the exception at this current time.
39:35
Travis Kelsey, he's the exception.
39:37
And him battling against also George Kittle, but Kelsey, he definitely has the upper hand on that.
39:44
The question is whether Travis Kelsey has the upper hand on Rob Gronkowski.
39:51
Rob Gronkowski! and especially as Rob's out of the game now,
39:55
he's not playing anymore.
39:56
He definitely has the upper hand. He definitely has it right there.
39:58
But like them and their, like the best Travis Kelsey version against the best
40:03
Rob Gronkowski version.
40:07
Who you got? Oh my gosh.
40:10
That's almost like, I almost want to say that's almost like Shaq,
40:14
In his prime, his heyday just unstoppable, as in Rob Gronkowski in his prime.
40:19
But overall career and who they are,
40:24
I'd go Travis Kelsey, but in his prime, it's kind of tough because it's like,
40:29
would you take Shaq in his prime against Hakeem Olajuwon or Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
40:35
or Wilt Chamberlain or what's his name?
40:39
I want to say Kurt Russell. It's not Kurt Russell. It's Russell something.
40:42
Something oh my gosh i gotta look it up i'm gonna kill myself if i don't say
40:46
that one right russell off of self-tax bill russell bill russell i gotta say
40:52
that one right bill russell it's like.
40:55
Definitely who won the most championships is bill russell bill chamberlain was like unstoppable,
41:01
i wasn't around really to see him so i'm not that old but like i can imagine
41:05
and then hakim the dream yes he was crazy good but like out of all these guys that like they're so
41:12
good, but in the most dominant factor and force of human nature,
41:17
Shaquille O'Neal, like no one touched him whatsoever.
41:21
No one touched Shaquille O'Neal at all. You know, it feels so weird saying Shaquille,
41:24
but that's his, that's his name. It's Shaq. He was Shaq. And he was a beast.
41:29
And like, I just like picture him, he was just breaking people,
41:32
just breaking them as they, as they went up against each other.
41:35
You know, he was like, he was like a, a senior.
41:40
No, he was like an, like a, a senior that got held back as an eighth grader
41:43
and just playing against a bunch of sixth graders.
41:46
I don't know. And he's just playing against these little kids.
41:48
And he was just like, like a huge mammoth of a individual.
41:53
And it was just dominant as well. The only thing that people could stop him
41:56
was if they could get him to the free throw line and Shaq, he had trouble at
42:01
the free throw line, but man, like, I mean, making like 50%,
42:04
even like they just make it look so easy in sports.
42:07
They like, like what was his like overall, roll. I gotta look it up. I gotta look it up.
42:14
Shaq's free, I mean, yeah, Shaq's free throw percentage was 50%,
42:17
which really, I mean, if I'm shooting free throws, I mean, I guess I'm not the
42:21
greatest person out there, but like, to me, that's still pretty good.
42:26
50%, that's pretty dang good. That's pretty dang good. And, but that was,
42:30
that was his Achilles heel.
42:32
That was his kryptonite that people could not just, they could not stand him.
42:37
They had to foul him. Hack a Shaq. That happened.
42:41
But like, when I'm talking about Rob Gronkowski against
42:44
Travis Kelsey at their peak level you know
42:47
it seems like Rob Gronkowski he was kind of just dominant in
42:51
that aspect but like overall longevity as a career I go Kelsey if I had one
42:57
game I think even my heart like my my heart and my love for Kelsey you know
43:04
my love for Kelsey and him as you know as a Chiefs you know we were very lucky to to have him,
43:09
I'd still go with him, even though I think Rob would almost,
43:13
in one game, like, I don't know, oh my gosh, I'm like torn, you know,
43:18
I'm like struggling over here, struggling more than any man should,
43:22
struggling more than any man should, you know, probably more than the ladies
43:26
out there, too, you know, I know a lot of the ladies would flock to Travis Kelsey,
43:32
you know, so there's not any question about that.
43:35
I'm not even talking about that. I'm talking about as a pure football animal.
43:40
Travis Kelsey is a beast. And last season, he was a little bit declined in his season last year.
43:49
But I still would take him this year. Definitely, I would take him.
43:52
Without a shadow of a doubt, I would take him and want him playing on my team.
43:57
So, all right. And then we got Antonio Gibson.
44:01
I don't know much about him, but I'm thrilled to have him on the team.
44:04
Thrilled to have him on the team.
44:06
Steelers defense, that's another strong pick. But, I mean, we do interchangeably
44:11
maneuver and move out our defenses throughout the season.
44:16
You know, who we're playing against. We've got to do our studies.
44:18
We've got to study who we're playing against. We've got to know that other team
44:21
that we're going against.
44:22
We've got to be smart. Play smart. Every game smart. Every week smart. Prepare.
44:27
It's not you falter to what you prepared for. If you don't prepare,
44:33
you're going to falter. You're going to fall to that level.
44:35
You know, that's why you always need to prepare. Over-prepare. Do that film.
44:39
If you're a fantasy owner out there, you do that film. Study, study.
44:44
You know, put in those hours. Put in those hours. It's important.
44:48
It's important. It's going to make or break whether you are going to just,
44:52
you know, because second place is the first loser.
44:55
I got to say it. Second place is the first loser.
44:58
And if you're not winning, I know this is Ricky Bobby, but if you're not winning,
45:03
you're losing. Losing, and if I'm not winning, like last year, to me, I did win.
45:09
I did win, not overall, but I did make something.
45:13
I did make a little something, and it was because my team performed at the highest
45:18
level, but they didn't win at all technically, but they put up the most points.
45:24
So it does matter, though. This isn't a game. It's not a game.
45:29
Actually, it kind of is a game. And see, it's a little more removed than a game. It's Second Life.
45:35
So, and then lastly, so I did say that I got the Steelers.
45:39
Strong, steel curtain defense as my backup. Are you freaking kidding me?
45:44
Are you freaking kidding me?
45:45
If I'm not playing the Browns, that means I got two amazing, stout defenses.
45:51
They're going to just destroy the other teams. And it's like,
45:54
the hardest thing is going to be, who am I going to choose?
45:57
Who am I going to put out there to win for me? Who's going to win?
46:01
Who's going to win for you?
46:02
Be smart. Think it through. Be prepared throughout the week.
46:06
Think about what you're going to do.
46:07
You know, stay up, put in those long hours, put in those long hours as you get
46:12
ready, as you get ready, because it's going to matter when you come to crunch
46:15
time and you got to have your, your, your team solidified for the most part.
46:19
If you got a team plan on Thursday, you got to have them ready to roll then,
46:22
especially if you're going to have a player that you need to play. So be ready for that.
46:26
But you really have to have your team solidified before 12 o'clock on Sunday.
46:30
I guess whether I'm in central time, that is so weird. So does that mean the
46:35
NFL, like if you're on the East Coast, the games are starting at 1?
46:40
I've never really actually thought this through, but that means the games are
46:42
starting for the people on the East Coast at 1 o'clock.
46:47
At 1 p.m., that's so weird. I always thought, is that right?
46:51
This is like I'm having a crazy breakdown right in front of you before your
46:55
eyes because I've actually never thought this through.
46:58
The games on Sunday, am I just going crazy right now? What's happening?
47:04
Are the games really starting at 11 o'clock?
47:10
I know this probably seems stupid, but I had actually never even thought about that.
47:14
I'm in the central time. so the NFL on
47:17
Sunday always starts at noon and that just seems
47:20
normal but is it is it like if you're
47:23
in other parts of the country is it starting at noon for you I need
47:26
to know I'm kind of like freaking out right now I I'm kind of freaking out it's
47:30
it's it's uncomfortable as uncomfortable it is for you all out there it's doubly
47:36
important no not important doubly uncomfortable but important nonetheless it's
47:41
uncomfortable for me in my heart in my mind because I'm having a mental breakdown,
47:44
but maybe that is, you know, put it in the comments.
47:48
I have to see it to believe it. Like there's places in this world that I do
47:52
not know if I really believe they exist until I go there, you know,
47:55
but they probably do. They do.
47:58
And just like it probably does football probably starts at 1 PM for some people
48:02
and maybe 11 AM for others. I don't know.
48:06
It's, it's debatable. It's debatable. I don't know. And then lastly,
48:10
Jaleel McLaughlin for the Denver Broncos.
48:13
I'm I'm not too happy he's from the Denver for the Denver Broncos.
48:17
The only time I liked Denver Broncos was when it was Tebow land.
48:21
Tebow land. That was when I was pleased as punch that I liked the Broncos then
48:27
at that one season, one season.
48:29
It was because of him and they should have kept him, but I'm not going to get into that today.
48:34
I'm not going to get into that. I don't think you all are ready for that.
48:37
You know, I don't think you're ready for that. Thank you all.
48:39
I've seen enough. So, may the odds be...
48:45
All right i had to look it up and i'm not i didn't have
48:47
i okay may the
48:50
odds oh my gosh you i would probably
48:53
if i was on a set in hollywood i would
48:56
probably drive the director crazy and i but i i gotta be i gotta get ready because
49:02
i i my acting career is going to happen eventually so i need to be able to remember
49:08
my lines i gotta remember my lines one second okay all right may the odds Oh, my gosh.
49:15
All right. Not going to let you see all that. That was just crazy.
49:19
I'm not going to say the E word.
49:20
But, okay. May the odds ever be in your favor for you all out there fantasy just fanatics.
49:28
May the odds be in your favor. And may your team just crush it.
49:33
