They got together. They had been doing Zooms during the writer's strike, and then they decided, you know what, maybe this should just be a podcast, and we'll give all the money to our staff, and that's just what we're going to do. All of a sudden, it seemed like a great idea. I remember talking to Jimmy about it and thinking, this is a great idea. This will never actually happen. They'll never actually do this. Well, they did it, and you can follow it on Spotify, Strike Force 5. You can get it wherever you get your podcasts. Can't wait to listen to this. Super excited. Those five guys all on a Zoom together, just cracking jokes. I'm ready. So there you go. On this podcast, it's the second annual My Guy Fantasy Draft. Craig Horlbeck, Danny Kelly, Danny Heifetz from The Ringer Fantasy Show. We're going to come on, and we're going to talk about all of our guys that we like, dislike, that we're afraid of in the fantasy football season, and then went to Cleveland to find Garrett Bush, who is kind of a big guy there. I got to say, he's kind of a guy. He's going to tell us what to expect from the Browns, who are the most confusing 2023 team. A lot of that has to do with Deshaun Watson, which Deshaun Watson, are we going to get? How do we feel about Deshaun Watson in 2023, just in general? And where is Cleveland Sports going? What's happened to them this century? All the good, all the bad. And he's going to lay all of it out for us. So this is a really good podcast. Can't wait. First, our friends from Pro Chip. All right, it's the second annual My Guy Fantasy Draft. Our Ringer Fantasy Show guys are here. Danny Kelly, Danny Heifetz, Craig Horlbeck, my rewatchables producer, always nice when he pops on the BS. So we did this last year. We didn't win any awards, but sometimes you don't need to win awards. Sometimes when something's great, when it works, you just kind of know it, and we're going to run it back. Heifetz, you want to explain what this gimmick is? Yeah, it's you text us a bunch of ridiculous categories and then we kind of build an entire show, right? No, it's fun, though. It's just like it's a draft, but it's not a draft. And then it's it's vibes. It's a vibes episode. Yeah, we can agree on this. The concept is like you go into a fantasy draft. We all have the same kind of guides, same kind of rankings, but it doesn't capture the love. It doesn't capture the irrational. I just believe in this guy. It doesn't capture Craig thinking that that Pickens is going to end up being Justin Jefferson this year. There's just some things he already is or fear PTSD from bad draft picks from the past. I actually listened to a lot of the pod we did last year, and it was pretty funny hearing some of the guys we were like completely enamored by that ended up being bust. And then there were some other ones that I was surprised by the accuracy of it. Danny Kelly, can you ever be right in a fantasy draft? Can you ever go perfect? One in a million. It's like picking stocks, you know, if you get one good one, then you're set. Last year, mine was Romandre. I listened to our show last year, too. Feel like I nailed that one. Didn't get some other ones right. So that's, you know, we don't have to re litigate those. But Romandre, I'm calling that one. The take I was proudest of last year was fearing Cooper Cup after the year that he had just not liking the scent of something. This is veteran experience. I've been doing fantasy, I think since like 1989, 1990, something like that. All right. So I'm going to rip through the categories here. And then we're going to go at them one at a time. This is not, it's a draft, but it's not a draft because if we all have the same guy for a category of two of us have it, it's fine. We're okay. Um, the categories are my one true love, the guy that we just liked the most, my crazy pills guy. Do you want to explain the crazy pills thing, Craig? Uh, I think it could go either way, right? It's either you feel like you're taking crazy pills because nobody else likes the guy you like, or it's the other way around where you feel like you're taking crazy pills because everybody likes this guy and you don't understand it at all. So there's a little variance on that one. You can go either way. There's the my I absolutely hate myself for doing this guy, which seems to happen over and over again in fantasy where you go in there, drive like, well, I'm not going to end up with Russell Wilson. Uh, that was the example I used last year. It could be the example you use again this year. I'm not even gonna spend a dollar for Russell Wilson. Then it gets to the 17th round. If you're in a booger eater draft or, you know, you have $5 left for five guys and it's like, ah, Russell Wilson, Sean Payton, and all of a sudden you have Russell Wilson and you have no idea how he ended up on your team. So that is the, my absolutely hate myself for doing this guy. Uh, there's the, I'm going to add this category. It's a little sub category. The I'm staying away from that whole team team. There's teams where you're just like, I'm out, I'm just blind out. I don't want one person from that team. I'll see, we'll see if we agree on that team. Then we have the, my shameless Homer pick guy. That's going to be really, I mean, Craig, you don't even have to go. Uh, although there could be their tickets like plus 500, but I think we know pick is going to be there. There's the, my, I wouldn't take him even if he was free guy. So you're putting them on your D and D do not draft list. I had McCaffrey as my guy for this last year, which looked brilliant for about six weeks. Then he got traded a machine of an offense. We have the, my, that 2022 booty call isn't happening again guy, which is a new category for this year. This is the, you stumbled into somebody in the free agent auction, maybe in November, you wrote them for a couple of weeks, some fond memories, but you know, as a one night stand or, you know, as a three week stand and you're not going back, then we have the, this is a classic one. The somebody's got to get points on that team guy. We just look at all the teams and like, well, I don't know. Everybody scores 300 someone's catching passes on that team. Someone's rushing for 970 yards. There is the, my sorry, I'm sorry. That's too rich for my blood guy where you look at the draft guide and you see some of the salaries next to the guys. Then you go wait at $47. So Najee Harris was my guy for this last year. And I was proud of that one. There's the, my $1 QB guy. You're not, he's not going to make it break a draft, but you're also kind of secretly stashing away in your head. And we all have our $1 QB. There is the, my I'd be afraid to look on Tuesday and see the red flag guy, which I've added this year. I didn't even tell you about this category. You take the guy and it's going great. Eloy Jimenez is the ultimate baseball example of this. It's going great. You're feeling awesome. And then you go on there on a Tuesday and there's the red flag with the yellow box that there's news. And you're just like, Oh no. Oh God, what happened? And there's certain guys who just, it happens every year. A cousin of that, the, my, I know there's a 99 % chance he's getting hurt again, but God damn, I can't resist this guy guy. Then we have the, my Cooper cup. It's a year after the year guy. So I named this category after Cooper cup. So who is it this year? They had their year last year. Don't do it again. Don't get sucked in five more. The my, I just want everyone on that offense. I don't care guy. The my it's a year too early, but fuck it guy. The my missionary position. We've all had him guy. The my, I fell for the preseason hype guy. And then finally the, my I'd never root for an injury, but he is one injury away. That guy. All right. So we're going to start with my one true love. We're going to go and we're going to go on one, two, three, four on the zoom. And then for the second round, then the second guy will go, Danny Kelly, you're up. All right. My one true love. Who is it? I got to go with Tony Pollard for the Cowboys. I'm irrationally in love with this guy. I've been saying it. I think there's nothing you can say. It convinced me that he's not the best player in the NFL. Like, like just pound for pound, the best player in the NFL. Um, you know, last year he finished as the RV seven this year. He's going to be playing, I think more snaps, getting way more opportunities. If he can get up to like the same level of opportunities as Ekeler and CMC, you know, cause he's in that style of runner. I think this guy could finish as a top three running back in the NFL. And so I am, I'm just like full as a gentleman said, full bloom in love with Tony Pollard. I just can't, I can't help it. So in the ringer fantasy guide, he's 13th right now and he's gone for $42 in auction. So you think that's low? Yeah, I would, I would, I actually had Pollard too. Wow. We all have Pollard. Wait, did you too, Krik? I'm scared now. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, that's, well, that's, that's, this is a sign that, yeah, this is a terrible sign, but I just, I mean, just to pile on to DK stats here, Zeke had 12 touchdowns last year and Nick and Tony Pollard was a top 10 running back. Like what else do you need to hear? Like every time Tony Pollard was on the field, he was the best running back in the league. And now Zeke's gone. Like I rest my case. This is the pregame show where they all pick the same team to win a football and then that team loses. So you should probably stay away from Tony Pollard. Wait. So all three of you had Tony Pollard for this? Yeah, I can give you some. We did not discuss this before coming on. I didn't expect that. Oh, my God. Talk about groups and Jesus. You know, it's, you know, what sucks about this is that means when I have my big auction draft in a week and all my friends are going to be listening to this. And when Tony Pollard comes up, I'm not going to get them because they're all going to bid them up for $57 if I want to get them. Well, Bill's like, oh my God. Well, here's the argument. Rich Rebar, who works for Warren Sharpe, he's at Sharpe Football Analysis and he is a really good comp, which is basically Melvin Gordon was playing ahead of Austin Eckler for years. And everyone's begging for Austin Eckler to get the job. And then Austin Eckler finally got the job and the charges got rid of Melvin Gordon. And then Austin Eckler still wasn't really a first round pick. And we talked ourselves out of it. We hemmed it on. This is Tony Pollard again. It's like Zeke is finally after five years out of Dallas. And we're like, yeah, any point you get Tony Pollard, that's actually crazy. Like, honestly, you could get him for forty five bucks. Austin Eckler is going to go for 60. Tony Pollard would probably just be better than Austin Eckler this year. I kind of genuinely mean this. Tony Pollard should maybe be the first pick in fantasy football. Right? You can convince me. Kind of genuinely. Well, he does have a great offensive line. There are going to be a couple of games against bad teams where he, you know, you have him on Thanksgiving or something and he puts up the four touchdown hundred and eighty yard game. I can see it. So I guess I'm up then because you guys all agreed. You can have anybody you want. My one true love this year, Jalen Hurts of the Philadelphia Eagles, who I also like for MVP. So. Last year, he missed two games and they also blew out what what was a D .K. like seven, eight team, seven, eight games where they just like in the fourth quarter, they didn't even really have to play offense. They're just kind of running out of the string. Yeah, I don't think their defense is going to be as good this year. Sheila Kapadia on the on the NFL show has been talking about this. I think it's to be better than he thinks, but it won't be as good on it. And their schedule is tougher. But, you know, is it possible that he's like a four thousand one thousand guy with some sort of combination of 40 to D like everyone agrees they have the best offensive line in the league. Everyone agrees the one to A .J. Brown, Devonta Smith punch is way up there. And I'm saying like Schrager on TV this week was saying Devonta Smith, this is the year he jumps up to the chase class. So we have that with Dallas Goddard, who everybody thinks is the best all around tight end in the league, the guy who actually blocks and plays three downs, running backs, whatever. Put anyone behind there and they'll gain 80 yards. And then he's going to get a lot of the goal line carries. I think he's my top QB this year. I think I would take him before everybody else. So I don't even think it's that controversial. What do you think of that one? He is, I think you're right. I think the key point you have there is that he barely played in the fourth quarter last year. That's the key thing. He was already in a per game basis. He was the best quarterback in fantasy last year and he barely played the fourth quarter. Yeah. So you could argue he hasn't even reached the ceiling yet. He's our number one guy on the guide right now, I believe. Shameless plug for fantasyfootball .300 .com. He's our 21st player. We have like all our rankings there. And yeah, he has the highest floor and the highest ceiling. My favorite stat about Jalen Hurts, other than 18 rushing touchdowns in 18 games last year, Jalen Hurts had more games over 30 points than under 20. That's everything you want in a quarterback. Well, so he's number one in our guide, but I still feel like in a draft, Mahomes is going over him because of the Mahomes. It's just the most fun to have Mahomes. The R. And I actually think that's a little nuts this year. DK, Hurts is I think either 12 to 1 or 11 to 1 on FanDuel for MVP. And I think those odds are the most out of whack of all the MVP odds, because that's, if you're going to say the MVP is going to come from an awesome team, they're probably one of the five teams that has a chance to go 13 and 4, 14 and 3, something like that. He, they have the most talent on offense, I think, of any team that's going to be in the MVP conversation and we've seen him get better every year. So why is he 11 to 1, 12 to 1? Shouldn't he be like 6 to 1, 7 to 1? Shouldn't it be where Josh Allen is? I don't, is it just because of the previous like impressions that he was a, what was he a third round pick or second round pick and maybe hold on to that for too long? Or maybe it's just because he's surrounded by such a good team. I don't know. But yeah, like you said, he's improved pretty much every season he's been playing, even going back to college. You know, from everything that we've heard, he is maniacal about like working and leadership and just all the things, all the intangibles. And then, of course, you know, if he takes a jump as a passer this year, you know, that's going to be huge for him because he's already like one of the best running quarterbacks. He's double digit rushing touchdowns in the last two years. You know, everything about him screams just, you know, like the face of the franchise season. He's everything they want. And so I could see it like from a narrative point of view, for sure. It reminds me of what you used to have with Russell Wilson when he was alive.

"Dick Ioliano, WTOP News. Okay, DC did it. Montgomery County's moving there too.

Prince George's County Councilman Ed Burrow says if you're waiting tables it's impossible to raise a family with this economy on that amount hoping for tips. He's leading an effort to bring those who normally work off of tips to a $13 per hour minimum wage. Right now the bill calls for it to be phased in over five years it's but likely to change to three. When you work with any other industry what you pay in part covers the salary of the people that work there and so this would be no different than that. Lawmakers should just reject this proposal.

Now the State Department says this is a good time and some good news when it comes to those wait times. We were able to reduce our passport processing times two by weeks. That means now you'll see an eight to eleven week delay in normal passport requests and five to seven weeks for an expedited passport. Matt Pierce, Director of Passport Services at the State Department says what led to the big slowdown? A very high demand level for passports. He says the hiring of additional staff and overtime has helped. goal Our at the end of the year is to be at six to eight weeks for routine processing and two to three weeks for expedited. He says you should still apply for that passport six to eight months in advance. Travel is stressful enough and it's less stressful if you have your passport in hand well in advance.

"Marketing management, and organization development positions with a number of Fortune 500 companies, including IBM, Pepsi Cola, and HJ Heinz. A lot of people also say you can't teach leadership. You're either born or leader or you're not a leader. Is there any merit to that? Is that still a phrase that sticks today or is that fully dispelled in your opinion? Yeah, so I have my own belief and a lot of what people have thought for years has been dispelled in many ways. But there's still that argument. Yeah, so people are just natural born leaders either you're born a leader or you're not to your point. And so I will say that there's some merit to the fact that some people just more naturally have certain characteristics that lend themselves to them be more effective as leaders. So certain things may be more trait based or inborn in terms of some people are just blessed in certain ways with gifts. And that's great. Now having said that, that does not mean that if you're not blessed in that way, you're not born with certain traits that just make you naturally more effective and certain ways as a leader that doesn't mean that you're doomed to not be an effective leader, right? Because we know for a fact that those things that do make core effective leadership can be learned and developed, right? With the right mindset with the right openness with the right intentionality and what the right effort. So hey, look, if you're not born with it, you're out of luck, you know, you're doomed to never be an effective leader. Because we do know that that's not true now, and you can grow into being an outstanding leader, even if you're not more on third base, if you will. But some people are born on third base. That's just it. And that's where some of the myth comes in. Some people are just very natural at certain things. Others have to work a little bit harder at it. Unlike sports, some people are just natural athletes in a particular sport and pick up a ball and do everything as well..

"Slander is the only thing that i can call it on with. Mccoll hardman it. Demarcus robinson and i listen. I'll i'll say there is some fairness to what they have shown thus far in their career. But i do think especially with hardiman is young and i don't think that he's really had a a real fair moment to come in and say all right. This job is mine. I know exactly where i'm going to be. I do think he's had to learn multiple positions and a lot of different things to get on the field and its that play making ability that he has is there. He is a big play waiting to happen. And i guess just like you believe so much in legit serious need. I think that's where i am. In hardman. And i think that explosive playmaking ability to go along with the play caller and the person throwing the ball and never ever will coverage be slanted his way he will always be able to to go against weaker corners at least the teams weaker corners and and probably one on one coverage. And i gotta. I gotta see that he can complete. He will completely be a failure. I just think there's just too much around him and robertson to like robinson he just needs to be solid. And and i think i always said about two marcus. Robinson is. he's just super solid and reliable and to me. That's never once about about demarcus. Robinson never up saying and i just i b. I think he could just be if he is solid five. Andy's playbook still can't remember all of his routes if he could remember the eight that he needs to the eight seven or eight that he needs to come. On man like demarcus robinson has not been trashed. Not find marcus. Robinson is a. I said the word find earlier. I'll say it once again. Here actually applies to robinson. I'm just saying high level starting wide receiver. He's not in the but to me. When you're talking about bringing josh gordon from the dead of football did excuse me that did but the football dead people are talking about nicole hairy and other. You're talking about dede westbrook i. Those guys are good enough. You don't feel like you need to go drag those guys now. I'm not gonna sit here and say like some people are really have belief in by sprinkle that he's going to be something. I'm not gonna go that far but those those two to go along with with tyreek hill. Like i think you are. Just you are just fine right there to be the explosive offense. You need to be with those guys. And i do think especially hard man. I'm not going to send in about the markets. Roberts that take a step forward but i do think we call hartman. Takes us a step forward. And i trust me taylor and nate. Taylor's very smart gentleman. That was a beautiful beautifully rid grape. Proce whatever. I had ready yet. But i'm going to. It was beautifully done. And i agree with the. He's he set. The stage is set for him to make this just calm down. True or false. The chiefs had finished wide receiver core in in the afc west. Not the worst because they have. I mean if you're looking at talk to you would take nobody in the nfl. Probably over what the chiefs have but in terms of depth. Either they have the thinnest in the in the afc. West for the raiders. Rolling out after henry. Rugs and so the raiders. Going into the season have brian. Edwards is pretty good player out of south carolina last year. hunter renfro john brown. Willie snead zeh jones I i would take the chiefs over them. I will take john brown over. Any of the secondary receivers chief south and brian edwards. I'm not taking brian edwards Bryant has some upside. he didn't do much as a rookie but he's got some upside. John brown's how the hell does he get to have upside well. How the hell is brian edwards. Get to have upside mccoll hornet. Doesn't i never said that mccall hartman. Doesn't have upside. My issue with nicole hardman is that he is shown through two years in the nfl. Yeah he's faster than everybody on the football field except for tyree kill. But that's all he can do. Tyreek can go up and get a football. Tyreek can make a cornerback. Look like a joker on the field. I haven't seen that from a coal hartman. I haven't seen nicole hardman. Go up and get a football ever in his nfl career. I'm not sure mccall hartman. Athletic enough to play on the outside and go up and get a contested football. The other thing run is it. It's less to me about his upside in more about his role. And i don't think the role that they want to utilize him in this year is one. That's going to accentuate his skills. I think the role that he would have to be in four that would include tyreek hill. Not being on the roster. And i think that was part of why he was drafted mean. Go back to draft night with gall. Cd what happened there I think they felt that. The role that tyreek hill has in their offenses show valuable that they could not go a season without somebody having the ability to fill that and now they're trying to basically put a square peg into a round hole and i don't think he's the guy to go there and we can go to the chargers as well keenan allen mike williams josh palmer jalen guidon. I liked their death a little bit better than the chiefs as well. The the chiefs have the top end. Talent too far exceed every other team in the nfl and they've got the quarterback to make this thing work but their depth is a real issue in one. Cut down calm. There are going to hopefully be better options than what are available right now out there on the market and i hope that the chiefs are interested in our indu. Consider somebody or maybe multiple. Somebody's that can come in and help this roster receiver because they are completed there in terms of their talent. I can't wait to this damps. Season starts depleted. I mean deplete it. Good god man. I mean. I'm just saying do you think it's going to be somebody like i feel like the people are going to be available in. The range of byron pringle are in the range. And nobody's going to be as good as the market rob. Can you imagine if this team has zach paschal. That's the kind of guy they need. I don't know if i'm willing to go. That far zack pass. I.

"The chiefs need help it receiver. Because i through this week. Certa his sent me. Oh man josh. Gordon ooh the chiefs to go. Look at josh. Gordon who cannot who cannot play who cannot stay on the field. I mean i talk about. You can't trust frank. Clark josh gordon just tells you right away. I'm not going to be able to stay on the field but you can sign me. And then i've seen i don't know about you sort of it. I've seen many people. Discuss the nicole harry the patriots Two thousand nineteen thank you. Who is who is requesting requesting trade. Many people talk about. Hey man maybe the chiefs should take a look at this. We are we serious about this guy who is been a bust right now in nicole hairy it with the patriots now granted. Some of that quarterback play in year. Two that he faced last last year with cam and brian. Hoyer isn't really the great thing to help you out with. But a guy who's been a bust eighty-six targets in the last two years since he's been in the league. And then josh gordon who who who just cannot stay on the field and hell. I don't even know how good he is anymore. Right now he. I mean he hasn't even played long enough to even know how good it's been a long time. Eight nine years since he led the nfl in receiving yards. I we are not in this desperation mode that it feels like every week. Please tell me why the chiefs need to go. Take a look at these two guys. Please sell me on this garbage certa all that you try to sell us on going out there and getting one of these guys josh. Gordon's your dude. Well yes. I love. Josh gordon He had a couple of catches with the patriots a couple years ago. He still got it all right. He had a catch with russell couple years ago in like week. Sixteen josh gordon's so got it baby. No yes obviously. There's question marks. Obviously there's flags but if he gets reinstated. I'm interested in taking a look at him because it doesn't cost you anything to bring him into camp in just cut him if he can't keep it together if you think yes. He's just not good at football anymore. He's out of shape. He's had just hasn't had the reps over the last several years to maintain the level of athleticism and play that you need to succeed in the modern day. Nfl but if we're talking about we want another camp body and we want to bring in another wide receiver and see what happens. I'd be very interested in bringing in josh gordon. Especially over nikial harry. I understand the kill. Harry is only twenty four years old but he is just not looked like a competent. Nfl wide receiver. The patriots haven't done a lot to help him out but he hasn't been very good in the. Nfl doesn't create separation in any way not interested. I wasn't really that interested in him as a prospect. I am on the josh. Gordon train because i wanna see as many weapons as possible with patrick mahomes. Maybe we believe fifth round wide receiver. Cornell pal is the answer or mccoll's finally going to take a huge step forward on the outside which is out of position for him. But i'd like to see. I'd like to go to training camp and see josh gordon practicing with the chiefs and see what that looks like. Yeah i'm out on josh gordon of you should be i one jock. Laurie hawkins seed. And i hope he latches on somewhere in his super successful. It has nothing but the best moving forward. I just don't think that's going to be chiefs. The chiefs have a bunch of lottery tickets and at this point in his career makes me sad to say this. But that's what josh gordon is. Mikhael harry stinks. Like he's just a bad football player. So there's no reason for the chiefs to be interested in him if the chiefs are gonna go free agency route again. I don't think this guy significantly improves you. From what you already have. But the only guy. That's available that i would be interested in is dede westbrook again. I don't think that's any sort of significant upgrade. He's basically until we antonio. Calloway and you have antonio calloway already on your roster so i think what they have right now is probably barring some sort of trade or a surprise cut after camp what they're going to have going into the season and that is a little bit concerning because what you're looking at right now as tyreek hill which is great but then mccoll hardman damarcus robinson cornell powell byron pringle and then probably one of marcus camp garrick deeter antonio calloway or daria shepherd. One of those guys probably going to be the final roster spot where the wide receivers that just doesn't inspire a ton of confidence from me. The only guy that i feel good about his tyreek hill and then everybody else is a massive question mark in when i read earlier. This week from nate taylor of the athletes and i quote from the voluntary wait workouts in the teams mandatory minicamp mccoll hardman appears to be in position to have a breakout season as he is expected to have the role previously held by sammy watkins. That's terrifying for me. I i don't think he's a guy that profiles to play in that role sammy. Watkins was a prototypical x. Wide receiver where he can line up. On the line of scrimmage and beat man press coverage that is the opposite of what mccall hardman profiles as in fact the only guy on the team. Maybe you got two of them. That can do that. I think is cornell powell and byron pringle and i don't think those guys are starting level wide receivers at least not right now so i. I don't think they have that guy on the roster today. Listen i. I think as upset before that is something that is being overblown using the words terrified a mike that that feels a pitch strong. That feels a bit strong to use. Sorta josh gordon. And i i hope he hooks up with chip and joanna gaines down in waco. And maybe they can you know do some kind of work with him. Maybe he can help build some houses and work at magnolia farms. I don't i don't particularly well. I think they can help people. I think he got a better chance to his life getting on track them. Come in and play in the national football league. So i'd i'd rather josh gordon. Get to that point but manages i. I just.

"He plays a definitely plays an important like right now. You don't have hard. I am on frank. Clark like i like i. I can't put him over. Frank right now like i don't feel comfortable doing that. He he was better last year. The frank clark. He was a better football player last year for the chiefs. And frankly i wouldn't. Frank was was not great. I'm just saying as we start. The wrinkling had four more sax last year than luxurious new. As we start the impressive as we start this year though. I'm just saying for me like when. I talk about history and everything that's occurred. I am not sure that i would jump him over that yet. I i don't know man i. I hope that i am wrong. But but in terms of number one corner. Until i see other evidence for me right now thinking about a guy following somebody a guy. That's going to take that assignment. Every week to defined against odeal gets a keenan allen gets. I don't know who denver has but against against orleans. Good receiver jerry. Judy jerry judy. Caja hamlin noah. Fan offense loaded. Not but there's no. I i think i just not ready to go there yet with him. So i mean we'll we'll see. Hopefully i am wrong hopefully by week. Four or five this season. We're sitting there looking at a show. You is dead ass wrong about snead dead from. Here's my question as a follow up to this i. I'm really high on luxurious. Need so much. So that as we're thinking about this right now. Is there another corner other than marcus. Peters that you would take in the last five ten years from the chiefs that are better than luxurious neat. Am i missing somebody. I don't i mean they have struggled that position. If we're counting tire in a corner in this scenario then yeah. I would take him over tyrant i would take tyrant at corner over him. No i mean it's i mean we're looking at terrence mitchell's. That may be the next guy. I mean they. They didn't car was kinda had a little bit of time in air brandon flowers. I was going to say james hasty. I mean that was that was twenty years now. But that's i think he's better second best corner of the last decade. I mean that. And i feel pretty confident saying that. Now i mean. That's pretty impressive. It's not. I mean the the chiefs cornerback. Position has been absolutely pathetic. They they i mean i mean. I guess you could say impressive. Just start. start good defenses. Try it try it names of corners. I skin can't last. The last ten years is brandon car. Even fit in the last ten years barely shocks that he fits say that's been a minute like they. Who are they roll at. Terrance mitchell was on the other side else where they rolling out at steven nelson. Oh come on. Hansie steve member. My favorite landau dude. Sean smith was good yes johnson. That's his name. He was good for them. You saw the good cop. That's a good comper for how i feel about. Julius need i feel about jerry. Need how i felt in his prime about Sean smith and i always feel sean. Smith was a too. I thought he played up to a one with the chiefs. Yeah he has. I think he had the best years of his career with the chiefs. And that was when those were those. Bob sutton defenses. That were like actually decent and we're actually competitive every year instead of getting exploited by nfl. Offenses yeah i think he did play his best years still wouldn't know a one felt like he was a strong too. And that's that's just what i feel like. The kid is. The kid is right now. I feel like we're talking about baseball. How we talk about number. One pitchers versus aces. Yeah feel like. You're looking for aces. i'm talking about a strong number one starter like that. That's what i view these guys as are. they aces. No that's where you're getting into your jalen ramsey's and The top end talent. These guys i think are legit number one starters on a good team. Yeah mike. If we're talking about like that i think he's a to starter like he's a number to start right now. Yeah i think cow gibson that has potential. Better cal keeps. He's somebody who's got all scoured cows cinemas mizzou made or but if he's if he's a number two guy that you're not going to look at it as a number one headed into the year then he's shot brilliant and bershad bruin was perfectly fine for your secondary because that's what britain is viewed as in the nfl. I'll give you that. I i i'll give you that but still what bershad be really. I mean he was a guy that you didn't just leave alone on folks like you didn't just say are Rashad got hopkins. Let's just do it. I'd felt good about brillant and twenty nineteen last year. I felt like he took a little bit of a step back from the chiefs. But i thought in twenty nineteen like when you look back at that highlight reel of some of their biggest defensive plays in that season a vast majority of them involves chateaubriand. It's i. I'm just i'm higher on there. I also once again kind of to our initial topic here tonight ron. I feel better about their coaching staff. Like i just. I trust their coaches to get the most out of their corners. Maybe more so than any other spot on this roster because they've been so depleted at that position for so long that the fact that they've even been able to get competent. Cornerback play over. The last few years is nothing. Short of remarkable. Yeah all right. I guess we do have to to to do. Our annual or weekly conversation of.

"So rob welcome. You're the chief. Revenue officer of source global. Which is created the world's first renewable drinking water system water. Something we clearly all need to survive. So how should we think about the problem of accessible. Clean drinking water. Thanks alex and nick. It's nice to be with you the way that we think about the problem i think is first recognizing drinking water is not a problem to pay for that instead. He's like Melvin when we look at the problem we really look at where the existing models which are affectively remini era technologies that access clean drinking water distributed to pay big cities. Where isn't that working effectively. And so i believe there's about forty percent of people in the world about two point one billion who don't have access to clean water where i live and is a significant todd of that about eight hundred million died have even access to basic water. Many any type of water within a thirty minute commute from where i live and in astrology. I you look at one million households in australia. The not so by utilities that leave on fobs that let remind communities. That's the basis of the wash problem compounded on that is actually the impact. That problem has on the people so outcomes beyond just water but looking at things like gender women and girls spend two hundred million hours every day collecting water from their families. Health statistics employment statistics education statistics in rural and remote areas like hugely limited by that fundamental water constraint. And then you've got the environmental problems that stemmed from that they they have a trillion single use. Plastic bottles of water used every year. It's a billion dollar market in australia. That's growing at a at a high right. And so that's effectively the types of water problems that that were set out to solve.

"For sure. I think the band here is on the top of their game. However i have to say we will talk about it very soon. I don't think that this ban has gotten any worse over the years actually really enjoy the new stuff too that we'll touch upon very very soon as they said greed but yeah. This is definitely for a good reason. Their most celebrated record so many great tracks so many great ideas. It sounds very accessible at the same time it's edgy. It's it doesn't compromise. There's no compromise here despite this record being released on a major label and speaking of major label. It's interesting that one point late theron. Melvin wanted to do a very experimental record. And they couldn't do it on their label because they didn't want to allow something like that so they went even further with their sound into more experimental waters so to say and the band had to release this record on another label with the name. That was just a mirror image of their actual name because they couldn't use their name due to contractual obligations. Imagine this how bad ass that sounds a. Let me see what that record is. I know that all of your fans know already what i'm talking about but for us. This is something new as we're learning about this bannon. I think it's really cool. And i can't express enough so amazing the whole attitude that this spend has is feel. It's very punk in essence. We can say that. They're they're metal. They're all these different things but ultimately they're a punk band and that was the case i think with most grunge bands punk was at the heart of their At the heart of their existence. And i think that's that was the case with most rock bands in the nineties. Lada i think that was the case with wizar- i think away sis and some other famous rock bands from the nineties were heavily influenced by punk music. I would say. I mean yes especially those generations pretty much grew up with funk and it really transformed the way they thought about music it was punked l. Bolden the lot of kids to pursue a career in rock and roll because prior to that. You had all those. I think amazing prog bands but to play in a prog band. You really had to be a master of your instrument while anyone with a bit of skills could play a good punk band. So i think that was really a defining moment and a very good moment for rock music in general because creativity is not always dependent on the technical prowess in we have a lot of examples even starting with the likes of the rolling stones where playing well doesn't necessarily mean being fully proficient on your instrument agreed any other comments blood..

"A seven because it's still a very good record and just take some time for it to sink in. It's very enjoyable. Lots of cool ideas about the best track kind of car to decide because they're all kind of uniform they mentioned but maybe the maybe glow got for some reason. I really enjoyed that too. It's super short but the riff is amazing so globe gut for me. Wow interesting because i think that this album is also a seven and wouldn't say that it's a convincing seven. Maybe like six point. Five seven At this point. That's how i would read the seldom in my favorite track is The first track. That's called i've fleiss. Yep so let's move on. The next record is called. Houdini and it was it was released in nineteen ninety-three. So what do you think. Is this a departure. Do you see some similarities. Now a couple of years later. And this is what i was talking about. So they had all these great ideas but they didn't really gel together so well but here six years later. It seems like the band really learned their craft. And right from the get go. you have. This wonderfully realized songs wonderful rifts. But this time they all well-structured the singing is even more powerful. I feel there's a lot of there's more dynamics to it right. You can easily tell sung's from one another so much much much better record. I would say i'm sorry. Some of the hardcore fans might disagree. I really want to hear actually from you guys. If you're more familiar with melvin than we are in what in what kind of regard you hold these records houdini. Of course one of those records that everybody talks about when they talk about this call movement and it's basically the most popular of their records. It's absolutely justified. And you know what it's the first record that they made on a big label. So oh i can already hear some people that's selling out and so on but no that's actually quite interesting..

"That's a pretty bold statement. And i have to disagree with it. Maybe it's heavier. That's that's debatable. But definitely not better in my opinion What also caught. My attention is the fact that this album has a lot of short tracks. Like one minute long or maybe two minutes long That's that's interesting and kind of a typical. You know not not really something that i would expect. The first track is longer. Let's say it's like six minutes long and it's my highlight to be honest has really good intro. it's so dark so grandiose and heavy and i also think that this band is all about creating that atmosphere and to be fair when it comes to this album. I didn't really pay attention to the lyrics. I was listening to the instrumental work. Which i personally think is the strength of this of this band in general however on the other hand. I think that this requires a certain mood. And if you're not in that moods. I think this may sound a bit repetitive. Just like you said. The songs tend to tend to sound kind of samy. Let's say this is a word from you. It's not that the songs are uniform per se but it just the mood of the songs is very similar but you if you really scratch under the surface there's so many great ideas so many great riffs. The thing is i feel like at this point. The band came out with their own. Sound which i find very unique and you know the interesting thing is i was thinking about. Wow there's so many donor bands out there that sound kind of like this nowadays but back in the eighties. I doubt that there were many bands with sounded like this. I think this was truly a step forward. However i think that this point the band wasn't so good at putting their ideas together into very well structured pieces of music and this is one can argue that this is the weakness of this record on the other hand for all you know..

"Right so i decided this is extremely difficult. Know to choose three records to represent a certain band. Especially when you have a band. Like melvin with such a rich discography twenty four studio records so many different experiments so many different band members as well as i mentioned previously so naturally i think the first a fully realized record is the best place to start however i have to say that initially i had a bit of difficult is getting into this record. Not because it was bad per se. I love the sound from the get. Go basically what you have. Here is black sabbath and steroids. He know with these very dark. Dark dumi riffs and it kind of reminds you of the stuff that black flag was doing a couple of years prior records like my war kind of black sabbath inspired sound but unlike black sabbath it was far less structured. And i like that kind of chaotic nature of this music is well it. It's dirty. it's very real. It feels genuine. It doesn't feel overproducing. Any sensor form and i liked that rawness and like the ideas that they have in there a lot of great riffs but the problem. Is that when you listen to this. It kind of sounds like at some point. It turns into a college podge difficult to realize where one song ends and another begins. Now mind you. This is not necessarily a bad thing because it does create a certain unique atmosphere. So it really depends on what your preferences but this makes the record not so accessible upon the first list and so it takes some time for it to sink in. And naturally. When i listened to another time i felt much more positive about it. On the whole i felt that it was a very good debut record. I felt that the band came with their own sound from the very beginning. You know they. They didn't look for it. They didn't need this kind of period where they would search and redefined their sound and the cul their influences. They came out fully realized while simultaneously wearing their influences on the sleeve. And i think that's a very commendable thing.

Big or they just now sort of having executed their plan for Gamestop are they sort of just retreating in general? I think that the retreating from the trade, um, they won. The announcement was yesterday when we found out that the gigantic short in the game stock and some of these other stocks Was covered by the hedge funds. The hedge funds took a big loss. They walked away, and now the short squeeze is ending and so that there are exiting the trade right now. And they're exiting, presumably to big loss. Dave Portnoy text They are sending out a tweet saying he lost $700,000 on the mean stocks Here. This is I mean, the retail investors are getting crushed here, aren't they? No, no, not getting crushed. Are some that are losing Portnoy lost some money. But that's not a big loss for him. He'll be back, You know, probably with a bigger Gaynor lost by the end of the week. If you follow him, like like I do closely Um around of the lot of the buying on all the way up to the top, which we found out now was a short cover. It wasn't necessarily retail. Look, if the answer is there 7.5 million people on reddit that some of those people lose with the market with this not going down. Yes. So if you're asking if the perfection in the trade um no, there isn't. But if you said here's a group of hedge funds, he was a group of retail traders who did better. Retail traders by far did better In this episode, the Masters of the Universe got hurt a lot worse in this trade than the retail traders. Yeah, Tim, How did I not see this coming? I mean, some of them are definitely in there on those red. It's you know, sub bread. It's I was communicating with one. You know, very large hedge fund manager last week and He actually said. It's really shocking. A swarm of small investors overpowering any sense of value this these were his words, How do they not see this coming? I think the problem is the word collusion. Look when the stock out over to 100% of the float. I think it's illegal. It's a short, it's a naked short, but even if it isn't illegal It is very poor risk management by a lot of these hedge funds to have that big a short. Why did they have that big A short because they all looked at each other and let me let me know. Mince words. Is Goldman Sachs going to stick it to us? Is another hedge fund going to stick it to us. Is J. P. Morgan going to stick it to us. No, none of them are going to stick it to us, So it's not imprudent to run that kind of risk. And then they said, who out there is going to figure this out. And stick it to us, and we found out who because if you go in the red aboard, they talked exactly about this. Starting in October, They identified Melvin Capital as being the big short and won the Um Ones when the oil short does report came out by Citron Research two weeks ago, they literally said, this is the This is the event right now. Let's go. We got them because they're at maximum squeeze potential. I think we're Michael Lewis writes the book. He's going to call this Now We've got the greatest trade that's ever been done. So Tim, some of these means stocks if you will, small to mid cap relatively thin. Float big short positions easy to squeeze re surprised to see the reddit traders going to something like a commodity like silver. Yeah, I'm not surprised by that. Um, that doesn't seem to be kind of their modus operandi. I and there is some Debate on Reddit. Whether or not they're actually doing that a swell too. But even if it is silver isn't silver. You know, One of my favorite movies is the hunt for Red October when the top you don't miss the boat. It's just around the ocean. That's the reddit traders looking for another target. So there'll be another chapter to this story. I don't know if it'll be next week or in three months. This crowd is still out there in Leslie. I would say before the last two weeks, we've been seeing this coming. When Buffett solders analyze. It was no less than Dave Portnoy, who led the charge that said, buff, It is only then he's past his prime. Let's all go by the allies. They doubled him must report. I made a ton of money off that trade back then. And the airlines are even higher. They bought the work from Rome stacks that weren't in the index is they bought test flight went up 600% and then got it to the S and s and P 500. They've even been playing the crypto currencies. So they've been largely winning at this Now. I'm not saying they're gonna win forever. What they've been doing is they've been looking at Wall Street's practices, which has a little bit of collusion. This is the kind of way we all do this We've been gaining their system over and over again and taking advantage of it. Wall Street's gonna have to change the way they do money. We're never going to see another big short interest in a stock like this. Again as we move forward because they fear is there now that somebody will stick it to us if we ever do it, Jim, are you concerned on the effect that this will have on Fort salaries and shorts, others making their research available for everybody to view? I mean, in a sense, the short sellers were the little guy for a long time, and they were the people that were ostracized by some in the market, and they were the people that were You know, putting themselves out there, not saying that they were all you know Heroes or Robin Hood's themselves. Let's you know, let's make that very, very clear. But some of them did have excellent research, and they were willing to share it with the world on Bond can't have been all bad. No, I agree. Short Selling is a critical function in the market to the guys like Jim Che knows Barcode is they have been very, very good at identifying literally fraudulent companies and explaining why they've been fraudulent through research reports and profiting off of that. That is a very valuable service. But then there were these smash and grab type of short sellers that kind of gotten away. Like I said, the other institutions didn't put a stop to it until retail did, And now all short sellers have been tarnished, and I think that at the end of the day, that's not a good thing. It is still a valuable function. That was a little overdone that's finally getting pulled back from the frost. But if if the gym chain noses Mark Otis is of the world have to go into hiding now, or witness protection programs Because of this, I don't think in the long run, this is benefits. All of us.

"Okay, so, Robin Hood said in the Thursday block post after the recent volatility. It wasn't allowing the purchase of new stock from Gamestop, AMC, BlackBerry Bed Bath and beyond cost Headphones and Nokia as well as naked brands, which may have gotten caught up in the shutdown after Wednesday direct offer in campaign But it also raised the margin requirements for some securities, meaning users have to now front more of their own money to buy the security's a sensibly benefiting those with more cash right. So now, instead of being able to borrow money in order by the stock And now they're gonna make you put up your own money in order by the stock. TD Ameritrade and Charles Schwab also increased margin requirements for Gamestop stock on Wednesday. Robin Hood put out a statement. The statement is ridiculous on its face. The Robin Hood statement says that they're trying to protect their users. What from from their users. Like that. That's that's their statement. They said that they were trying to help their customers navigate this uncertainty. Okay, everybody who's buying. It knows exactly what the game is. If you don't know what the game is, you shouldn't be buying in. Everybody knows that. This is basically a giant ass prank in which a bunch of people who got in early on the action gonna make a lot of money and the hedge fund guys gonna pay through the nose. Verge, noted that one hedge fund suffering amid the Gamestop search was Melvin Capital Management. This is where things get really ugly. So one of the things that is suspected here is that Robin Hood basically stopped trading on on game stop because One of the big Institutional investors that had shorted Gamestop was Melvin Capital Management. It incurred like $2 billion of losses over the past 48 hours. Hey, it also happens that they Are a are a borrower, apparently from another hedge fund called Citadel. So Citadel has has a big share of Melvin Capital Management or some assets under management. Citadels founder is Ken Griffin. Founded Citadel Securities. Citadel Securities, is a giant investor in Robin Hood. They also work with TD Ameritrade in Charles Schwab. So what it looks like to the to the Suspicious eye is like Citadel was losing money via me via Melvin Capital because they keep bailing out Melvin Capital. And so they went to the other app that they essentially own or are heavily heavy Investors in And and they said, you know would be great is if you guys could start if you could stop the bleeding that be amazing, and then Robin Hood because they know that their chief investors We're unhappy, decided to completely undercut their central mission and just stop low level traders from engaging in these sorts of plays. That is really, really bad stuff. And probably illegal stuff. It is. It is ugly all the way through. Now. As of this morning, several retailers stock brokers brokers, including Robin Hood, said they would allow trades of Gamestop again and other volatile cos. After restricting customer ability of purchase securities earlier in the day. Starting tomorrow, they said. We plan to allow limited buys of these securities only limited, though, right? So they're not gonna let you tore up the stock price again. We'll continue to monitor the situation and they make adjustments as needed. Robin Hood said Thursday morning would limit buying of the kinds of securities that have sparked an enormous rally insurance game. Stop the video game retailer at the heart of the frenzy and AMC Entertainment Holdings, the movie theater chain and a number of other companies. The decision, of course, drew fire. As I mentioned a OSI didn't like it, Senator Ted Cruz agreed again. I don't really understand why oes he doesn't like it other than she doesn't like Wall Street and sees an opportunity to bash Wall Street. The reality she doesn't want you to be able to trade in the market doesn't like the markets period. It's the sort of I'm seeing a lot of folks on the left being like, Yeah, Robin Hood needs to allow everybody to trade in the markets. What they're really interested in is the fact that these guys hurt the hedge funds. They're not interested in people being able to trade in the market. If Robin Hood had decided to restrict its users, too. To fewer trade's overall without any of the attempt to take down the hedge funds. I don't think anybody in life to be complaining about that. They're looking for heavy regulation. They're looking for more regulation of the markets, not less regulation of the markets, but welcome to the libertarian Party Comrades. I mean, seriously, come on in, Join the fun. Robin Hood said that it was not favoring big traders. They said that they did all of this because of financial requirements, including SEC net capital obligations and clearing house deposits. They say it was a risk management decision was not made on the direction of the market makers. We route too. Weeble, another trading, APP said customers would only be able to liquidate positions they had in game stop AMC and cost. Before they lifted restrictions in the afternoon. So look like all of a sudden, all of these APS decided all at once that they were going to restrict people from doing what they were doing, which is wild and crazy and dangerous and obviously requires investigation. Senator Mike Lee has pledged that he would like to launch an investigation into all of this. Ugly, ugly stuff. Meanwhile, Google is salvaging Robin has one star rating by the leading nearly 100,000 negative reviews, so people went on to Robin Hood, and they were like, okay, this app sucks. Because I can't do it. I'm gonna do Google, then delete it all of that. Which is just another way of rigging the market. If the big this falls into the broader category of the big tech grows, they have too much power to shut things down. They do. It is a problem. It is a real problem. That does not mean the government regulation is per se The answer to this It does mean.
