Stefan Diggs is our first two-time footy award winner this year. I think that is appropriate. Yeah, that makes the most sense. Love it. All right, we have two very prestigious, very special awards remaining. Apparently we have some special music for each of them. It is time. It's the beauty. Yes. Oh, yes. For the nickname of the year.

Inside the episode
114 passagesLet it watch over you. And the options are P. River for Philip Rivers. Big herb for Justin Herbert. Unter Inri. You know who that is. How about Drew Locke's Mr. Irresponsible? Or Bruce Wayne Galman? No. Could it be T.Y. Houston? Or the gasman, Miles Gaskin? The transformation was complete with Derek Yetty. And Will Fuller flew in like the flying V. Jimmy Grandpa?
AJ Villan, Brandon, Ayukin, and Jarul, murdering this year's list of candidates. Spectacular. Timed up perfectly, Jason. Let's go. The Walrus, by the way, won it last year. So who is this year's nickname of the year winner? I'm so excited. It's P. River. Oh, no. Yes, no. Rivers.
Oh, your footing is in the toilet. Oh, my goodness. Really? 18% of the vote. Oh, no, in second place. Brandon, Iyukin, yeah. That's the one, that's what I voted. I didn't think that the people latched on to P. River this much. Well, let's take a stroll down memory lane here and see how we got to P. River. All right. Yeah.
I mean, Phil Rivers is, I still think Phil Rivers has it. Clearly, you've shortened his name. Mm-hmm. Well, he had to rebrand. Oh, he's Phil now? To me. In Indianapolis, he's Phil? Very much needed a rebrand based on last year. He's actually shortened it even more just now. He's now P. River. Hmm. That's not great. No, you don't want to pee in the river. His marketing team, they're still working on it, but that's where he is right now. Right now, P. Rivers.
Hmm. No, I shorned it to P. River. Oh, I'm his marketing team. You had changed his last name as well. But that means he's P. River. That's not a good nickname. No, Pea River. That's a great nickname. You want to go for a swim in the P. River? I don't. And you know what? I think that's an appropriate nickname, if I'm being honest. I thought I could get you on board. Nope. No, I'm off. Look, I've actually been going on Phil's Rivers as well. And then he's like, no, no, that's actually perfect. That, the.
Thank you. I, uh, poor Phil. Yeah, you got to hope. Oh, no, he's back to Phil. You've got to hope that this. I'm not going to say poor P. River. No. I mean, come on. Because that's his own fault of his P. River. That's shame on the P. River. Not a lot of fish are living in P. River. That's for sure. Philip Rivers. It's not good fishing. Or whatever we're calling him is far better than Jacoby Brissette was last year. Yeah. So that's the hope for T.Y. Hilton and some of these other options.
And the Colts landing spot was... That nickname is not going on his shirt. No, no, it's not sticking. Unless he just stinks. He comes out and just... Well, you know what stinks? Pea River. Pea River stinks. You don't want to go down to the shore of Pea River. You don't go tubing on Peer River. No, no, no, no. And he's enshrined forever.
And we have a- It's not going on a shirt, Andy. It's going on a trophy. It's actually going on a shirt, too. I was going to tell you, I've got the newest nickname shirt for Shotballers.com. I have the proof on it. And there is Pete. We have a proof. And there is a- Exciting. I'm going to tell you, P. River is dripping on that shirt. I mean, it is. It is ready to go. So we will get that up there very shortly. Wow. Congratulations to Philip Rivers.
For the nickname of the year. We do have one more illustrious category to get through here. And that is the fantasy footballers podcast moment of the year. We had smelling salts. And we had Jason's big shimmy. Big shimmy. Don't forget about the slide whistle brought in or the moment from.
geopolitical past of Gorbalage. The Hopkins Trade Celebration was one of our favorites. Me getting dunked on by Jordan Reed Waivers was not. The wise surprise at the end of episode 1,000 was, well, it brought upon a little bit rain as another moment. We have the, you-hoo! We've got Robert Tunyan, Tonian, Brooks's wealth, and Jady McKissick scaring us.
with a Chris Herndon laugh thrown in. So many spectacular. Well, well timed again. A spectacular group of nominees here, moments from this past season. Let us reveal the winner and then we will play that clip on the show as well. I just hope it's not me getting dunked on. The winner is. No surprise. The Wives Surprise from Show.
1,000 with 21% of the vote ahead of the runner-up smelling salts at 14%. You can't possibly make us live through that again. Can you? Is that what's going to? Oh, no. What a crazy ride this first thousand episodes has been. Oh, spontaneous congratulations. Amazing.
Pretty bananas. When they were squished in that tiny upstairs bedroom, Caleb's bedroom, it smelled like feet. I think cookies way too many times. They started off and it was pretty scary because they basically said, hey, we're going to start this fancy football podcast. No one's done it before. Here's was crazy. You were like, okay. Yeah. And they kept their families first through it all. We never felt like we were.
forgotten or left behind. Our kids are always feel like they are just the center of their words. Daddy tucks him in. They are helping with homework. They're at every show. Every performance. That I think is the greatest gift. Just so you all know, Foot Clan, the footballers you see are the footballers. We are at home. Oh, yeah. Andy Daynes like a bird. At home. Close. Jason. Jason is in his underwear 90, 98%. So they are genuinely.
That's who they are. The thing that's, I think, awesome, too, is about the show is not only for other families, but for our own families, we know that our husbands have a job that our own kids can listen to. Each of us has our own little football player in the family. And so to not only have that person that they can get advice from, but it's also their dad. And they can look up to them and just watch that relationship grow between the boys and their dads.
That's just been something that's been really special to watch too. It's going to be really cool to see those little guys grow up to be the next fantasy footballers. Terrifying. Right. Yeah. So here's to a thousand more. We're so proud of you guys. Congratulations. Hmm. You got me. You did it. Shut it down. Help. Well, that was 20% of the vote. The wife surprise. It definitely caught us off guard.
Runner up looks like it was the smelling salts that were brought on set. And then the Uhoo hamstring voice was a bigger winner than I would have thought that had 12% of the vote. Well, it was a big hamstring blowout. Yeah, that was pretty good. And then Jason getting dunked on came up next, it looks like. With the McKissick, give me a kiss drop. Oh, great. Oh, great. That thing is. Yeah, not this time.
