Volcano paragliding, where we ride the heat vents up into the atmosphere. Yeah, that sounds about right. Tell me that's not a real thing. It may or may not be true. Hey, thanks for letting us interrupt your vacation. Get back to it. We'll see you soon. I'll see you guys. Bye. There's no vacation. There's no vacation from the fantasy footballers. No. We're a 24 hour a day, anywhere on the globe type of group. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. So, Mike Wright, checking in despite... Oh, there he goes.

There he goes officially. Bye, bye. All right, this next one comes in from Jonathan in Chicago. He says, with a late round draft pick, is it more important to handcuff a star or try to find a gym? Thank you, love the show. This question I just got on Twitter. I'll let you know. Actually, I didn't get the question, but I got a mock draft, and I pulled up somebody's mock draft was reviewing it for them.

and they had drafted Arian Foster and Jonathan Stewart as their first two running backs. And in like the ninth and tenth round, they took Alfred Blue and Cameron Artist Payne back to back. I love it. I love that person. Are you serious? I love that. Oh, my goodness. Can I unring any bell that we have? Turn that up. Turn it over. Yeah, turn it upside down. Yeah, we're on opposite sides here. Here's my opinion to this question. The answer to this question is it depends on your roster. If you've got solid guys who are...

playing and you know you know they're going to they don't miss games and they're solid but they're not superstar potential then you take the rare gyms you you go for guys like a david johnson or you go for guys with that's exactly what i told them yeah you go for a guy with a high upside if however your players are guys who have a little bit of risk there then i like mitigating risk with my lighter picks so but are you are you mitigating it with alpha blue

Well, Alfred Blue is good. We heard what Joe On said earlier. Yeah. Alfred Blue is a good question. I disagree. I think Alfred Blue, when he comes in, will be able to be better than whoever you're going to pick up off of the waivers. Put it this way. When Aryan goes down, I'm going to make, I'm going to put you. When Aryan goes down, is Alfred Blue going to be a fab pickup like crazy? Yeah. So I would direct them. If I've got him on my roster, if I'm the Aryan owner. Okay. Alfred Blue or David Cobb. Alfred Blue or Devante Freeman?

David Johnson. David Johnson, I would take David Johnson. Reggie Bush. Well, I like Reggie Bush. I like David Johnson. The other guys and Jayah Jaya. I like those three guys. Everyone else, I would take Alfred Blue over them. Here's the thing. But the thing is, you don't have to take Alford Blue there. You can get Alper Blue so late. That's what I'm going to say. They're, Alfred Blue and Camas Artis Payne are 12 and 13 round picks. You get those guys with the last positional pick of your draft. That I don't mind so much. To me, it was the eighth, ninth, ninth, fifth pick. Oh, you said ninth and tenth pick.

Where, okay, so maybe that's where the line starts getting drawn. Yes, I do agree that's too high to take them, but I like getting that. And you're saying specifically Jonathan Stewart and Aaron Foster are the two most injury prone or fearful guys. So that's a good question. I actually have an MFL 10 where I drafted Aaron Foster and Jonathan Stewart and I got Cameron Ars painting out from there. So I don't disagree. Well, you and this guy should go off and fro you.
