Episode notes & curated moments 14 records
momentMy Guy time plants the complete 2023 board
Jason wants 'My Guy time,' but the hosts explain that Andy's usual refusal makes those declarations special and stops every weekday from becoming its own time. The annual episode, running since 2015, is defined as nine flag-plant convictions that can produce major hits or misses. The final board assigns Andy Mike Evans, Jahmyr Gibbs, and Jahan Dotson; Jason Mark Andrews, Justin Fields, and Jordan Addison; and Mike Tyler Lockett, Chris Olave, and Darren Waller.
momentThe My Guys opener lives on Smithsonian 8mm film
Direct video visibly plays the deliberately dated My Guy film package. The desk admits it looks bad and declares it will never be updated; the fictional backstory sends a host to the Smithsonian each year to trade a bundle of tickets for an old 8mm reel and bring its 'great CGI' back to the show.
momentJason's Sam Howell belief depends on moon howling
The desk identifies Jason as a Sam Howell believer since college but questions whether the attraction is mostly the name. Asked if he would care as much without the chance to howl at the moon, Jason admits he would like the player less; a name like Jim Smith would make the same prospect a loser.
momentUDK for Life costs two cents and perhaps one's pants
Deucer's Alley supports the yearly livestream giving away a UDK for Life, a signed Derrick Henry jersey, and a signed Tee Higgins mini helmet while the hosts answer listener questions. At the close, attendees are told to rip off their pants and dance at home—or check with HR at the office—and shaky back-of-the-napkin math turns 1.9 cents per episode into the show giving listeners its two cents.
momentBeef Boy mutates into Wide Guy
Rico Dowdle is declared Dallas's only Beef Boy despite being only marginally beefy. Later, Mike introduces Chris Olave as his second Wide Guy, prompting the desk to retrieve the earlier term through Beef Eater and repeated Beef Boy corrections before deciding that a wide receiver can indeed be a Wide Guy.
momentTyler Lockett simply refuses to be hit
The hosts explain Lockett's longevity by personifying his contact avoidance: he catches the ball, announces 'you shall not hit me,' runs out of bounds, dives, or literally lies down. His philosophy is simply that he does not want hits in his life.
momentGibbs boards the cursed Abdullah Express
Andy describes Jahmyr Gibbs as exerting a gravitational pull in every mock draft, but selecting a Detroit running back reopens the show's history with the Abdullah Express and Kerryon Johnson. Challenged about the curse, Andy claims guts of steel, accepts that he is poking the bear, and declares himself brave as a Lion.
momentJustin Fields overrules a month-long board lock
Jason reveals that Justin Herbert had been locked onto the My Guy board for the previous month. At the final decision he cannot leave off Justin Fields, so the lock opens and Fields takes the official slot.
momentAl finds Dodson in the Jurassic Park console
As Andy reveals Jahan Dotson, production immediately fires 'Dodson, we've got Dodson here.' Andy thanks Al, Al answers, and the desk follows the Jurassic Park cue into a Dennis Nedry reference.
momentChris Howell makes an accidental lifetime-listener appearance
While discussing Sam Howell, a host accidentally says Chris Howell. The desk catches the mistake and turns it into a shoutout for Chris Howell, described as one of the show's longest lifetime listeners who has now made an appearance.
momentAdam Thielen becomes a Weekend at Bernie's cardio corpse
Jason describes Minnesota's prior receiver role as occupied by a corpse. When another host notes Adam Thielen still finished as wide receiver 30, the image escalates to a lifeless vessel used for cardio in a Weekend at Bernie's arrangement while running the NFL's second-most routes.
momentThe new pass-block ledger exposes tight ends as wide receivers
Jason reveals that Mark Andrews has pass blocked only 27 times in five Ravens seasons and just once the prior year, making him the team's true wide receiver one. During Mike's Waller case, another host announces that this is apparently a stat the show can acquire and reports five pass blocks in nine games; the wink-wink wide-receiver argument returns before a delayed Waller drop is finally smashed.
momentThe Ducers receive a three-character opening card
Direct published video opens with a produced With the Ducers card that names and pictures Brooks as Judge Giamatti with a gavel, Jeremy as Owl Borland, and Kyle as The Borgognoni inside a monster-flower collar. The later transcript confirms that the Deucers are in the building for the UDK-for-Life livestream, but the card itself is the only verified appearance for Brooks and Kyle.
summaryEpisode notes
The annual My Guys episode begins with Jason wanting another special 'time' declaration and the desk explaining why Andy's usual denial builds demand. The ritual is defined as nine strong flag-planting convictions, and the show says it has run the episode since 2015 with both major hits and misses. Its vintage video is deliberately never updated: the hosts imagine making a yearly Smithsonian trip, trading tickets for an old 8mm reel, and admiring its CGI. The final 2023 board is exact: Andy selects Mike Evans, Jahmyr Gibbs, and Jahan Dotson; Jason selects Mark Andrews, Justin Fields, and Jordan Addison; Mike selects Tyler Lockett, Chris Olave, and Darren Waller. Jason's established Sam Howell loyalty becomes explicitly name-dependent—he has believed since college but admits he would like a Jim Smith version less because Howell lets him howl at the moon. Jeremy answers as Al, is called Al Borland himself, and later fires the Jurassic Park-style 'Dodson, we've got Dodson here' cue on request. The desk briefly establishes Rico Dowdle as the only Beef Boy, then mislabels Chris Olave as a Wide Guy and scrambles back through Beef Eater and Beef Boy. Andy's Gibbs pick reopens Detroit-running-back trauma through the Abdullah Express and Kerryon Johnson before he claims guts of steel and bravery as a Lion. Jason displaces a month-long Justin Herbert lock with Justin Fields, showing that even a locked My Guy board can change. Other visual tangents turn Tyler Lockett into a receiver who simply lies down and refuses contact, Adam Thielen into a Weekend at Bernie's cardio corpse, and Mark Andrews and Darren Waller into wide receivers measured by their tiny pass-block totals. An accidental 'Chris Howell' invokes one of the show's longest lifetime listeners. Around the episode, Deucer's Alley supports a yearly UDK-for-Life livestream giveaway; the close asks winners to rip off their pants and turns dubious 1.9-cents-per-episode math into the show's 'two cents.'
