I was going to say just one of them. We're not coming in in stereo anymore. You might have one earbud in. We switch to mono. Okay. That's the future. If you've got a right earbud in, you're hearing nothing. That's what happened. Well, they don't know what you're saying, Mike. Oh, a paradox. It is December 1st.

Oh, it's Christmas for the rest of you. Fantastic. It's been Christmas for a month over here, but welcome to the party. It is the most glorious month of the year, as proven by the Spitmuller's podcast where we drafted months. And December was not only the first one drafted, but the clear vote getting poll winner. We, yeah, it is, it is Christmas time here. That's the proof of concept. Majority rule. Science. I think I shared some.

Instagram of my like Christmas lights or something. And then all of the people that live in states where it snows just make fun of you thinking it's Christmas without snow. Oh, sure. But we never have snow. Therefore, that's never been associated with Christmas for us. And we're not dreaming of a white Christmas. We just set a record for the most 80 degree days in November.

Did you know that? Oh, I did not. I mean... I'm sorry, I meant to call it No Lost November. Did I not correct that? Oh, is that a Phoenix Sun's reference? It was. Excellent. I mean, I've heard good things about snow. Like, it can be fun on Christmas that you have the... Oh, it's so majestic. The light reflects off of the snow. And then it just turns into like a brown slush. It's kind of whatever. Brooks, as the resident snow expert... Have you had a brown slush Christmas before? Yep, and it's cold and...

Terrible. I mean, you come from the coldest place on earth, I think, Michigan. And you have never regretted sunny Christmases? Nah. If I could look outside and see the snow and that's it, that'd be cool. It's funny to think about that. No doubt. It is certainly the picture of Christmas. But it is funny to think, you know, every year my kids get like right on.

toys, you know, bikes and rollerblades. It was like, go rollerblade in the snow. That's an interesting question. You can't do it, Mike. Well, okay, that solves riddle number one. But, like, I mean, I've never thought about this. You know, up north or just in colder places. They're roller skis up there, Jay. That's, are they giving just far more winter activity type of, uh, a gear than compared to us?

Probably less golf clubs for Christmas up in the Great White North. But when do you get your golf clubs then? Fourth of July parties, I don't know. Summer birthday. Yeah. We don't know nothing about them cold places. Welcome into the show. We've got a lot on today's episode. Some news to talk about. Buy or sell. We've got a Thursday night preview. Should be an interesting game this Thursday. Hopefully not a stinker all alone on the island game.

And the Meglabel playoffs are underway. Jason, you wanted to give a little update on the Meglabel. Yeah, because we've had some questions of, you know, how are these playoffs working? We've already finished.

Week one of the playoffs. So if you were top three in your league at the end of last week, then you are already in the playoffs. You might not even know if you won or lost in round one. The top 50% of scores move on every week from here on out until championship week. All you have to do is go to megalobole.com.

That will show the leaderboard. That's where the scoring is. It doesn't matter in the Sleeper app what your matchup is. Just put your best lineup and score the most points. And if you want to check out how you did, how you're doing, did you move on? Did you make the cut? We're down to the elite. You just go to megalobole.com and check the leaderboard there. And yes, I am in the round two personally.

With so many people in the playoffs, there is heartbreak as well, is there not? I mean, we've had some people lose out on moving on by like 0.2 points? Yep, yep. Sorry for your loss. Probably Mike. I mean, I don't know if he's in it, but if he is, he certainly didn't make it through. Do you think I made the playoffs? Okay. That's a good point. Not this year. Oh, yeah, we've got Spotify green room this afternoon as well. Oh, the party room.

That's a, it's always a good time. That's what, 3 p.m. Pacific 6 Eastern? That's correct. Yeah. Okay. Is it? 4 p.m. Mountain. Thank you, Mike. And that would make a 5 Central. Let's get them all covered. We don't have snow. We don't have daylight savings. But we're glad you're tuning in. Let's move on. Buy or sell, presented by pristine auction.

All right, let's go into week 13 by or sell Lamar Jackson. Is he a top five quarterback against Pittsburgh? Mike is the authority on all things. Lamar Jackson. He has not hit that mark on the road at all in 2021, a top five quarterback. Pittsburgh, what, T.J. Watt just got added to the COVID list. I don't know if we have an update there. They certainly didn't do what we thought they'd do when they got back some of their defensive players. Correct. Got absolutely boat race.

by Joe Mixon and company. So Lamar top five in Pittsburgh. What do you think? I'll jump in here first, and I'm going to go to a lot of analysis, scientific backings, and it's the fact that I don't actually need Lamar Jackson to do anything productive for my team anymore because I'm already dead. So you're darn right he'll be a top five this week because it doesn't matter for me.

It's all about me. As silly as that is, you're probably right. That being said, I'm going to use the analysis side. He's only been top five three times on the season. Pittsburgh, while off a bad game, is a good team, a well-coached team, a good defense. So I don't think he hits the mark of top five this week. I will sell. I'm going to sell it as well. I...

We were looking at the standings yesterday, and obviously Baltimore is, they're there. And they've done it in a way where I don't think anybody's looking at Baltimore and saying they're dominant, right? Yeah, they don't feel like the powerhouse that they have been in the past. And I think it speaks highly to what Lamar's been able to do. He's brought them back. There's been a number of games they've won where I think mentally you counted them as losses. Yeah, for sure.

I would personally say Lamar Jackson is the MVP if the season was over right now. So, Mike, you bought it? That is correct. And then we sold, okay. And then David Montgomery is the top five running back against Arizona? Top 15. Oh, yes. Sorry. Top 15 running back against Arizona. Bicel has not hit double digit fantasy points since returning the RB28 and back-to-back weeks. What's going on?

Yeah, he's certainly getting the work. 95% of snaps, 85% of snaps, 84% of snaps. Those are phenomenal numbers for a running back. I think he's talented. I think he's going to get the opportunity. The running back 15 is a line that I feel like he should beat. That being said, very difficult matchup against Arizona. They're number three against the run. When you consider his stretch of being outside the top 20 and the poor matchup, I'm going to.

sadly sell. I will say David Montgomery is just outside the top 15 running backs this week. Yeah, it's hard for me to say he's going to get in there as well. I don't know what's going on. All the reasons Jason highlighted, I will sell it as well. I will sell as well. Hunter Renfro. He's been a top 14 wide receiver in three of the past four weeks. Buy or sell Hunter Renfro as a top 20 wide receiver against the Washington football team. Man, Hunter Renfro.

He's a top 24 wide receiver on this season. You had, you know, the targets are very safe. They haven't really shifted, you know, seismically since Henry Ruggs has departed from the team. But you also have a potential issue with Darren Waller. He's got the IT band injury, him being out. That could lead to an extra, you know, two targets.

and take him over that 10 threshold, which he somehow hasn't hit. He's flirted with it many times, but just hasn't surpassed it. And the Washington matchup, I still think, remains good for wide receivers, despite what Russ and company did this past week. So I'm going to buy Renfro will hit that mark. Yeah, to speak to that, the Washington defense is very interesting to me because they were so horrifically bad to start the year.

You targeted them, and that was a surprise, right? They were supposed to be good. They have good personnel. Right. And then they stunk. They've actually been pretty good. If you look at, on the course of the season, they're a top five matchup for wide receivers as far as like a bottom five quality defense. But over the last five weeks, they're actually the fifth best against wide receivers. They've been locking them down. But then it's like, okay. Factoring those matchups. Exactly. Carolina with Cam Newton and Russell with the broken hand. But I think.

that Washington is a good defense at this point. I'm going to sell the top 20. I want to sold top 15. I'm going to buy top 20. I think he'll PPR his way there. That was by yourself from our friends at Pristine Auction. Go to pristine auction. Use the code ballers. Ballers. And you'll get a $10 credit. Sorry. I had to make sure that Hunter Renfro.
