moment

A parliament of producers fills Deucers Alley

The returning Owl answers that it is good to be back, turning the full production gaggle into a parliament. The Judge and Borgogon are also announced present. The opening card identifies Jeremy/Owl Borland, Brooks/Judge Giamatti, and Kyle/The Borgogon, and the published video twice shows a collective row of three human producers under the neon DUCERS ALLEY sign without labeling their individual seats.

moment

The Super Bowl walk is measured in Ryan Fitzpatrick throws

While planning how to reach the nearby Super Bowl stadium, the desk proposes a drone, a 3 or 4 a.m. departure, and a walk whose distance is equated to Ryan Fitzpatrick's career passing yardage. Live research returns a travel time of six hours and four minutes. The published video never leaves the desk or shows the drone, walk, route, or Fitzpatrick measurement.

moment

The UDK preorder becomes an MLM-timeshare sales trap

The hosts advise sitting Super Bowl guests down for an UDK slideshow and whiteboard presentation, call it the MLM experience, then switch into a car-sales pitch for a brand-new UDK Plus. The prospect waits 45 minutes in a back room, leaves the keys, faces timeshare tactics, sees boxes piling up, and hears that inventory is stuck in the harbor because of a data shortage. Targeted video remains the ordinary desk with none of those sales props.

moment

Brooks needed only a couple of darkness days to join the company

Aaron Rodgers's four-day darkness retreat makes the hosts imagine a hamster water bottle for survival. They ask Brooksie whether the same process led him to work for the show; Brooks says it was not quite four days, only a couple. The riff finally reframes an earlier Jason breakup story as sitting depressed in a closet. Video shows only the live desk and, later, the ordinary three-human producer row—never a dark room, bottle, cold plunge, hallucination, or closet.

moment

Mike's Trey Lance confusion opens the Tight End Truth courtroom

After Mike says he no longer knows what he answered about Trey Lance and orders the desk not to talk to him, one last question triggers the familiar exchange from 'You want answers?' through 'You can't handle the truth.' Direct video leaves the desk for the real published monochrome courtroom parody, including a white-wigged podium figure, a shouting dark-shirted host image, green segmented shapes, and THE TRUTH title before returning to the ordinary desk.

moment

A Kelce mucus sandwich reaches for an Oscar

Andy's demand to identify any Kansas City target other than Travis Kelce is accused of spinning a mucus sandwich into a dramatic moment of tears. He insists he succeeded, says the people were crying, and claims he was about to receive his Oscar. The targeted video shows only Andy's emphatic desk close-up followed by Jason and the desk; no sandwich, crowd tears, or trophy is visible.

moment

Jason plants the Mark Andrews My Guy flag in February

Jason declares himself all in on Mark Andrews for the coming season, despite Lamar Jackson and coordinator uncertainty. The other hosts protest that this early My Guy procedure has never been done, grant early credit, and say Andrews will go on the board. At the close they joke that three tight ends have already been claimed and that claiming now binds the host no matter what happens. Direct video shows only the desk; no board or flag is present.

moment

Mike still files Taysom Hill at running back after a TE5 finish

Taysom Hill reaches tight end five with only nine receptions, 13 targets, 19 pass attempts, and 96 carries, and the desk says everyone except Papa Josh left him undrafted. The hosts explicitly frame the categorical grievance as Mike's; Mike still demands a running-back designation, then allows that finishing fifth by not playing traditional tight end may mean the opposing argument has a point. The published video remains the desk with no position hearing or petition.

moment

Family UDK sales multiply Listener League golden tickets

The closing announcement makes a UDK preorder through March 1 the entry route for a Listener League spot. The earlier family-presentation scheme returns: photographs of people persuaded to buy are framed as proof of changed lives, and each purchase is imagined to create another chance, like collecting multiple Willy Wonka golden tickets. Video remains the three-host desk and shows no presentation, photographs, or ticket.

summary

Episode notes

Mike, Jason, and Andy open with a full production crew: Jeremy's returning Owl alias turns the room into a parliament, Brooks's Judge alias and Kyle's Borgogon alias are named, and the published video twice cuts to three human producers under the neon DUCERS ALLEY sign. The individual seats are not labeled. A six-hour-and-four-minute walk to the Super Bowl is measured first against Ryan Fitzpatrick's career passing yards, while a drone and predawn departure are proposed. The UDK preorder pitch escalates from a family slideshow and whiteboard to an MLM, a car-sales back room, surrendered keys, timeshare tactics, fake inventory pressure, a harbor delay, and a data shortage. It later supplies the real Listener League entry route, with every persuaded family purchase imagined as another Willy Wonka golden-ticket chance. Aaron Rodgers's darkness retreat creates a hamster bottle, Brooks saying he needed only a couple of dark days before joining the company, and a callback to Jason sitting in a closet after a breakup. Mike's refusal to answer another Trey Lance question naturally triggers the recurring Truth courtroom dialogue and its actual monochrome published bumper. Travis Kelce analysis becomes an attempted mucus-sandwich Oscar scene. Jason then declares Mark Andrews an early My Guy and gets him put on the board; the closing joke says three tight ends have already been claimed and premature claims bind forever. Taysom Hill is said to have gone undrafted by everyone except Papa Josh, and Mike still wants his 96 carries moved to running back even while conceding that a nontraditional tight end finishing fifth may have provided an advantage. Complete-video review finds the three hosts at the desk for every spoken riff; the imagined walk, sales room, darkness room, sandwich, My Guys board, and Taysom position hearing are never physically staged.

But Dalton Schultz, the whole conversation is where is he? He was playing on the franchise tag. If they're going to franchise Tony Pollard, maybe they get Zeke's money down to a place where they can actually bring Dalton Schultz back in, but that's going to be a big thing to move. So let's ask a dynasty question, Jason. Let's say you have, you have Dalton Schultz on your roster. Are you keeping or are you trying to trade believing that, like, because this could be an Austin Hooper situation. Like, Dalton Schultz will be offered money. Like, he will be offered a good starting job and a good amount of money. And Austin Hooper, you could see he was, his production for fantasy was completely a product of him being with Matt Ryan in an offensive system. And when he moved, it was like, oh, man, I do not care for Austin Hooper. I think it was the Cleveland Browns. It's like, if Dalton Schultz goes to a,

54:47 ↗

to a situation like that, his value could completely smoke bomb and vanish. I completely agree with you. What I'm doing with Alton Schultz if I have him is I'm holding on to him until he signs because if he signs a big money contract with a team that needs a pass catching tight end, I think his value goes up to most people. They say, oh, he's got. Okay. Four years and a bunch of money and I am trading the heck out of him wherever he signs no matter where he goes. He goes to Green Bay and Aaron Rogers is back and people are saying the opportunity is great. I will trade him. If he now, should he resigns it with Dallas, I'm going to hold on to him because I do think that he is a valuable enough tight end amongst the mucky muck. Yeah, I mean, 57 for 577 and five last year for Schultz. Goddard. He's a dude. Goddard put up better numbers.

55:36 ↗

In half the games, I mean, this is the number two most consistent tied in when he played. The problem was missing weeks 11 through 15. But 58% good games when he played only one bust. I'll take Dallas Goddard over George Kittle next year. I think he is a better all-around, you know, a player in a higher scoring offense. It was a very impressive run. You didn't really have too many games where he was the dominant force. He just was consistent. And so, you know, you could definitely score more touchdowns than three in the games that he played. How many total, 12 games? So, you know, you can see that go up for sure. And I think Goddard is, I'd probably have him behind Kittle, but those two are neck and neck. So right now, just referencing Underdog, because that's the only real drafts going on right now, Goddard currently the tight end six. So he would be behind George Kittle. Yeah. And.

56:34 ↗

And two 80P spots behind the forever, the forever, forever hopeful. Oh, my goodness. Oh, man. We're not talking around him today, are we? No, he didn't finish inside the top 10. Just missed it. Kyle Pitts, uh, but it could work for us this. Kyle Pitts, uh, was on a sweet, sweet, hundred target pace, gentlemen. 100 target pace. That is awesome. How many yards would that turn into? Hundreds. Hundreds. 600, 600, which would have been more than Dalton Schultz. Well, if you pace out Dalton Schultz missed games as well, probably not. Probably not. We don't do stuff like that. We don't do complicated math with pets. We do simple math with pets. Yeah, I love that. If I can get Dalton Schultz as my at Titan 6 next year, Dallas Goddard, he's my mind guy next year.

57:32 ↗

Three tight-in, my guys. Yeah, it's never been done. The important thing is that if you claim them now, they're yours no matter what happens. Right, right. Yes, no, thank you. That which always works out. We're going to stop talking now. I think we're done. A final couple of things. One, enjoy the Super Bowl. Yes. Have a blast. Looking forward to the end of the season. Should be a great matchup. Number two, ultimate draft kid.com on Sunday. The pre-order goes live for the UDK and the UDK Plus. If you like Dynasty, DFS, preparing for your draft, this is the time to jump in because we, I think I didn't even mention it at the top because I'm a lunatic. And then we were talking about other stuff. We got into the MLM pitch. Yeah. We're giving away a listener league spot. Yes. Yeah. So if you get the UDK between now and March 1st or between Sunday and March 1st, you'll be in her to win a listener league spot to come play with us along with all the other perks. So please.

58:29 ↗

Head over there Sunday morning when you're walking around the house because you've done everything that you need to do and or, you know, obviously put on a presentation for your extended family. Ultimate draft kit.com. When you're doing that presentation, if you get photographs of all the people you have, you know, pushed and changed lives in getting the ultimate draft kit. You get their spot in that listener league. So if you convince them to do it, yeah. You're in. You're in. It's like Willy Wonka. You want multiple shots to get this golden ticket, people. Good. All right. There you go. Enjoy the game. Take care. Goodbye. Thank you for listening to another episode of the Fantasy Footballers podcast. Join our fantasy football community on join thefoot.com.
