Jason's lifelong baseball fandom knows the goatee, rookie, and hat
The Arizona result turns the opening into the Fantasy Baseballers. An unlabeled host calls himself the true fan, while Jason's sarcastic lifelong-fan identity produces only the dude with the goatee, the rookie, the guy with the hat, and 'diving bags.' Mike is explicitly placed at the desk as the Fantasy Hitman who hated Philadelphia more than the Diamondbacks. Matthew Betz's reported day off gets a qualified Philadelphia-fan aside.
moment
Drop It Like It's Hot audits the hidden waiver layer
The Drop It Like It's Hot cue sends listeners to inspect players released during normal waiver processing, then adds a second instruction: scroll upward and inspect players dropped before waivers ran, because those releases can be missed.
moment
Jason's three-dollar Taysom bid loses to 38
The Hungry for More intro graphic makes Jason cackle because he has just checked waivers. Directly prompted, he says his three-dollar bid for Taysom Hill lost to 38; expecting that he had badly mispriced the market, he opens all six bids and finds zero, zero, three, three, three, and three.
moment
Tennessee adds a third slice to the Wheel of Shame
The hosts compare the Titans' quarterback choice to their Wheel of Shame: one slice is Will Levis and another is Malik Willis. The possibility that both quarterbacks play reveals a third slice and earns the description 'truly banana ramas.'
moment
Al Borland ties Jameson Williams at zero receptions
After Jameson Williams draws six targets without a catch, the hosts say he recorded as many receptions as Al Borland. They directly ask Al whether he managed at least three receptions that week, and the immediate reply is 'Not this week.'
moment
A wedding-dress goose becomes the swan queen
A goose remains the bad fantasy outcome, so the hosts invent getting swaned as its positive opposite. An unidentified host then admits he thought a swan might be the same animal as a goose—just prettier, wearing a wedding dress, or serving as queen of the geese. The taxonomy adds mallards and a 'mailerd' pun that makes Jason fall over in his chair. Three unnamed Deucer's Alley voices score 100 percent on the species poll. Directly asked whether to hit the outro, Brooks instead calls for mailbag and later answers to Brooksie.
moment
The podcast holds a live stat-sheet development meeting
While checking target leaders, the hosts discover that their stat sheet lacks targets per game. The request grows from making a note into a live development meeting and a public promise that a button will convert all totals to per-game figures, prompting another unlabeled voice to ask, 'We are?'
summary
Episode notes
The Arizona baseball result briefly converts the program into the Fantasy Baseballers. An unlabeled host calls himself the true fan, Jason is sarcastically introduced as a lifelong fan but can name only the dude with the goatee, the rookie, and the guy with the hat, and Mike is explicitly described as hating Philadelphia even more than the Diamondbacks did; Matthew Betz's reported day off receives a qualified Philadelphia-fan joke. A Drop It Like It's Hot cue instructs listeners to audit both ordinary waiver drops and players released before waivers process. The Hungry for More graphic then gets undercut when a directly prompted Jason says his three-dollar Taysom Hill bid lost to 38 even though the six bids were zero, zero, three, three, three, and three—the economy of their league. The Wheel of Shame becomes a model for Tennessee's quarterback possibilities, except the hypothetical wheel has a third outcome where both Will Levis and Malik Willis play. Jameson Williams's zero catches on six targets are compared with Al Borland; a direct Al prompt receives the answer 'Not this week.' The episode's dominant tangent begins with goose as a bad fantasy result and invents swan as its positive opposite. One unlabeled host asks whether swans and geese are the same animal, imagines a swan as a pretty goose or the queen of geese in a wedding dress, learns mallard sex differences, and hears the 'mailerd' pun that makes Jason fall over in his chair. Three unnamed people in Deucer's Alley unanimously knew the birds were distinct. Brooks is then directly asked whether to hit the outro, but his reply steers the runaway show into mailbag. Finally, the hosts discover their stat sheet lacks targets per game and conduct a live development meeting that publicly promises a button for converting totals to per-game numbers before another voice asks, 'We are?'
He's not number one, but I'll put digs in there. Number two. Tyreek? Number four. Number four. Very close. He's been crazy. Oh, yeah. For sure. Number one. Number one, Pook and Nakua. Yeah. You guys have nailed three of them. Do you want to take a shot at the last two? I feel like at this point we... You got it. Cash out. We have to retire. You know them. AJ Brown. AJ Brown, number three. So that's one, puka, two, digs, three, brown, four, hill. Five, I think you're going to hit it. I think you're going to hit it. That's your call, Mike. I mean, like, because Keenan missed a game. Not Keenan. Ammon Ra missed some time as well. It's not Ammon Ra. Oh, gosh. Is it be? No, it's not. No, it's not. I know who it is. Who?
Jamar Chase. It's Jamar Chase. Oh, here it is. He has Jammar Chase. Okay, so we got, we got, I thought I got in. Do we not have targets per game on our stat sheets? We don't. Oh, oh, make a note. That would be nice, right? Well, yeah, anything per game would be nice. I'm just saying, like, what does that mean? I mean, like, you know, we have their average. We look at like, we're talking about it. We don't have their target average. You're talking about on a list of all. Yeah, like on our fantasy footballers stat sheet. Maybe we have points per game, but we don't have targets per game. Well, we don't have anything else per game, right? So maybe we could add a button to convert all totals to a live dev meeting. Yeah, but hey, peel back the curtain. The, the Fookland needs to know we care about how good our tools are and how we use them and what's valuable. Here's Fookland. We are going to add this feature where you can.
We are? Click a button to easily quickly convert all of these things. You can see them all individually, you know, like Amon Ra is at 11.3 per game. So if Amman Ra had not been injured, that's, well, I can't see the other per game. So never mind. All right, that is going to do it for today's show. Thank you for joining us. All you ducks, geese, and swans out there. You silly mallard. All right, then we'll move on to starts of the week tomorrow. Goodbye. Goodbye.
