Two happy fellas reach the playoffs and Schmevin guards the door
Mike and Jason open as the two live hosts and confirm that both reached the League of Record playoffs. The unlabeled exchange establishes that one has a bye while the other must scratch through round one. Later, an unidentified one of the two says Evan Engram became his tight-end champion and bailed him into the playoffs by helping inflict a desperately needed loss elsewhere.
moment
Kyle and Betz stage the first Love Is Virtual reveal
A DFS livestream item briefly disappears from the show notes before the hosts restore it. Matthew Betz will travel to Arizona in physical form so he and Kyle the Borgogan can share a room for the first time; the planned face-to-face reveal is compared to Love Is Blind and corrected to Love Is Virtual.
moment
Monday Punday gets sophisticated and approaches the edge
Mike and Jason announce that Monday requires sophistication, then trade Heaven Engrum, Evan Kingram, Schmevin, DJ Morg, Pleasure Lawrence, Foster Zero, Travesty ETN, Jared Go Off, Christian McDaddy, Jerry Judealicious, and Devin Dingleberry. They explicitly warn that the batch is getting right on the edge.
moment
A host's wife independently revives Judge Judy
While reviewing Jerry Jeudy highlights, an unidentified host's wife asks whether the show calls him Judge Judy. The host says of course, but admits the nickname had fizzled despite appearing on the podcast before; the desk then finds Jeudy guilty of being a great receiver.
moment
Andy breaks his no-pivot vow and loses the same way again
After a previous mid-show lineup pivot cost him a win, Andy explicitly vowed on Friday that he would not do it again. He nevertheless switches from Chris Moore to Rachaad White during the show; Chris Moore would have won easily, and Andy loses.
moment
Three honks crown Mike Gesicki King Goose
Mike Gesicki records three straight tight-end zeroes, which the hosts call a stranglehold on the Goose Crew. They award one honk for each goose and explicitly crown him King Goose before adding 'no offense.'
moment
Silent cardboard Jay fills Andy's chair
Mike introduces himself and Jason as the two live hosts, and a later remark explicitly confirms Andy is away. The published video supplies what the transcript omits: full-size cardboard Jay Griz sits directly behind Andy's microphone throughout the episode as the unacknowledged third desk presence, without an introduction, live line, or sound drop.
summary
Episode notes
The prerecorded introduction names all three regular hosts, but Mike immediately opens the live show as the Fantasy Hitman beside his best friend Jason, and a later speaker explicitly says Andy is not there. Direct video reveals the missing transcript fact: the full-size cardboard bear Jay Griz occupies Andy's chair and microphone throughout the two-live-host episode without being introduced, acknowledged, or given a sound drop. Mike and Jason call themselves two happy fellas because both have reached the League of Record playoffs; the unlabeled exchange establishes that one has a bye and the other must scratch through round one without safely assigning which path belongs to whom. Later, an unidentified one of the live hosts says Evan Engram bailed him into the playoffs when a team he desperately needed to lose faced his tight-end champion. Schmevin therefore threads through Monday Punday, Andy's absence, and a real league consequence. The recurring sophisticated pun ritual also produces Heaven Engrum, Evan Kingram, DJ Morg, Pleasure Lawrence, Foster Zero, Travesty ETN, Jared Go Off, Christian McDaddy, Jerry Judealicious, and Devin Dingleberry. A DFS livestream announcement is briefly removed from the hosts' show notes, then becomes a crew milestone: Matthew Betz will travel to Arizona in physical form so he and Kyle the Borgogan can occupy one room for the first time, which Kyle compares to Love Is Blind before the desk corrects it to Love Is Virtual. A host's wife independently asks whether Jerry Jeudy is Judge Judy, reviving a nickname the show says had fizzled, and the desk finds Jeudy guilty of being a great receiver. Andy's cast behavior supplies the sharpest self-sabotage. After swearing on Friday not to make another mid-show pivot because the prior one cost him a win, he switches Chris Moore to Rachaad White, would have won easily with his first choice, and loses again. The closing tight-end ritual puts Mike Gesicki in a stranglehold on the Goose Crew after three straight zeroes: one honk is awarded per goose and Gesicki is crowned King Goose.
Might make that move from Mark Andrews to Chig. I will not be one of those people. I'm just going to stick with them. They're too small. Fair enough. Since Week 7 hasn't surpassed 65 receiving yards. That's not great. George Kittle had another dumper of a game for, for 28. We do have an update here. Brock Purdy is getting an MRI today on his oblique. He got hurt on the game's second drive. Clearly he played through it. He played fantastic for the San Francisco 49ers. But we'll have to wait and see what the news is on that. Greg D. Eight targets for Greg Dulcich. Against Kansas City? Yeah. That's going to be a big game. Three for 42. Gerald Everett in a smash spot against the Miami Dolphins. Eight targets. That's going to be a big game. Five for 28.
Oh, tight ends. And then we have the goose crew. Mike Gisicki continues his dominance of, I mean, his stranglehold on the goose crew right now, three straight weeks. Very impressive. Yeah, it's one, one honk for each goose there. Well done. Mike Goussicki is King Goose. No offense. And then Foster. How do we say his name now? So we found out that it is. Which we apologize to Foster. I didn't know we were saying his name incorrectly. Right. It's spelled Moreau, but no. It's Foster Morrow. It's Morrow. Okay. The emphasis of the O is earlier in the name. Just like the word more and then oh. Oh, look at them. Hey, that's way to break that down. Yeah, I'm here. I'm here for grammar. That is going to do it for today's episode. Ladies and gentlemen.
We hope you got what you need. If you need something big tonight, I hope you get that too. I think you're going to get it. There should be some delicious fantasy action tonight with the Cardinals and the Patriots. I doubt that. I mean, there's. No, there should be. Okay. Kyler Hopkins, Marquise Brown, important players. Yes. Connor? It should be. Yeah, but it's the Patriots defense. It's at home. I am less optimistic than you for. How about this? Ramadre Stevenson should have a great game. He should. There you go. I mean, I'm just saying should. I'm not doing any crazy guarantees. Okay. Come on. That's going to be it. Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for tuning in. We will see you tomorrow. The waivers for the playoff run. The streamers. It's going to be a great show. Stay safe, everybody. We will see you tomorrow. Goodbye. You for listening to another episode of the Fantasy Footballers podcast.
